About: Been walking dogs in East Hill since 2017! Can’t wait to meet you and see if we are a good fit! I walk a lot of dogs, but I absolutely love cats! Looking forward to taking care of your babies 😊
“Noah was awesome! Kind to my furbabies, no complaints from them- 2 paws up. Noah was quick at responding and ready to go on short notice for us. This was our first time using Rover; I'm glad I found Noah when needed. We'll be using him again when the time comes.”
“Rona is incredible! She is truly an animal whisperer and will put your dog or cat needs above everything else, including her own. I trust her completely and look to her for advice to get to know my own dog better!”
“If you're trying Rover for the first time like we were, I can't recommend Jenna enough. We chose her because she had more reviews than almost anyone else we looked at, and she still maintained a perfect five star rating. Now we understand why. We were gone on a deep sea fishing trip, and Jenna came by twice to take care of our dog, Ruger. She didn't just let her out for a potty break. She spent time playing with her, throwing the ball, and making sure she got plenty of exercise. Ruger was happy, tired, and clearly well cared for when we got home. Jenna was reliable, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Sophia took wonderful care of our 3 fur-babies. We were kept up to date and provided lots of pictures while we traveled. She followed our care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond our expectations!!”
About: I have always had a love for animals. I’m not sure where it came to grow from but honestly, I love that I have that love. I studied veterinary technology after I graduated high school, didn’t get to finish but plan to go back once I find a better place to stay. I worked at an animal clinic for 2 years and am currently back at the same one after moving away for a year. I have 3 years experience of being a kennel technician as well as pet bather. I have also dog sat and bathed my family’s pets. Can do anything morning, midday and night. I do have a full time job at a vet clinic so I know everything to look for. I have two friendly dogs that would love to have playmates. I do have a cat that stays away from everyone as she wants her own space. Working in a vet clinic, I know and understand body language well and have a way with dogs.
About: I am very energetic and I love doing activities with dogs. For example running to a the closest dog park or field, playing fetch, rough housing. I'm am punctual, and mostly available most of days of the week. I have had a total of four dogs in my lifetime, so I know have an adequate amount of pet experience. I am very loving and caring. I am trained in fire and rescue, and also trained in Personal Care Assistances. I have worked with all sorts of animals; chickens, cows, goats, horse of all breeds, etc. My house is great for pets, it has a large front yard with plenty of space for them to around in. I hope you to watch your dog(s) in the future.
About: I've been passionate about animals since childhood. I have had a zoo in my lifetime, from dogs to cats to lizards to fish. I give the best belly rubs and ear scratches and you will always receive the best portrait mode photos of your pet when I come to see them. I have a deep love of cats, but I am sure to give them space and play it cool until they warm up at their own pace. I have had bully mixes who I had to train on leash as adult dogs, so I am up for the challenge of a difficult walker. Your pet just needs company for a bit? I'll bring my book and read out loud to your cat. Overnight stays do include custom goodnight lullabies for your pet. I am currently working part-time gigs and can come to your pet when needed and spend time with them. I am able to go on long walks to truly tire out even a rambunctious dog- I often walk 3-5 mile a day! I am also able to sit on the couch for a while and snuggle them as they need, or I can just be in the general same area as your cat if that is what they will allow and will talk out loud to give them company and stimulation. I will make your pet comfortable on our walks and stays and be a great steward of your space. I clean up after myself and pets well and do not overstay, nor am I nosy in your space- my sole attention is on your fur baby.
About: I started taking on animal responsibilities around the age of 6 as I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, rats, a tortoise, and a chinchilla. I helped care for my own dog’s two litters of puppies and multiple litters of kittens (from pregnant strays). I have experience with all ages of cats and dogs. I’ve babysat for friends and families dogs and currently have one dog and two cats of my own. I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. I am typically working three week days 8am-3pm. Which three days specifically are usually flexible with a week notice. I prefer to drop-in, take on walks, or even stay and keep your pet company. I just don’t prefer to stay overnight, but I am willing to stay late. I prefer to babysit in your home, but that could change depending on the situation or if I get to know your pet comfortably enough.
About: I've had pets growing up and my own as an adult. I was taught pets are Family and that is how I care for my own, and other people's, pets. I can walk, clean up after, feed, and give medication to dogs. I've raised dogs from puppy through senior age and the peaceful passing on from this world. I work remotely, and make my own schedule, so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your fur baby. Walks, feeding, or sitting that works around whatever your schedule is. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex that has a fenced dog park and plenty of space to walk. I have a pet friendly apartment with a cat of my own currently. She's been around dogs and cats her entire life. Let me know your pets preferences and I'll accommodate to keep them comfortable and happy while you're away.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, including administering medications when needed. With 15 years of personal and professional dog‑care experience, I provide patient, reliable, and consistently high‑quality care. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the week. I’m available to come to your home for visits, walks, and dedicated time with your dog. I provide care directly in your dog’s home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your established routines, maintain a calm and safe environment, and ensure your pet receives attentive supervision, gentle handling, and consistent comfort throughout each visit.
“Caitlin was a fantastic dog sitter! My husband and I went out of town for a week, and she home sat for our two dogs. She sent lots of photos throughout the week and let us know how they were doing. Our dogs loved her and she took great care of them and the house while we were away. She even vacuumed up which was so thoughtful. Absolutely recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pensacola
Sara was great with our cat, Merlin! I certainly recommend her! She sent pictures of Merlin, stayed at the house to keep him company, fed him, played with him and let him in and out. She even notified us of an impending storm and secured items, plants and umbrellas on the deck. It’s obvious she loves pets and is very conscientious.
Anne was great! This was our first time using rover since moving to Pensacola and we lucked out with Anne watching our two dogs. We had a 2 week trip to Europe and she stayed with our golden retriever and (slightly more difficult) Shiba Inu. She handled both with great care and formed a friendship with the Shiba, which is rare. We had constant communication and she respected our house along the way. Will absolutely be booking again. Thank you, Anne!
Caitlin was just what we were looking for in a dog sitter! She was communicative, responsible and friendly. She sent great updates with photos every day. Our shiba inu and dachshund seemed to really enjoy her presence and warmed up nicely. We look forward to using Caitlin for more dog sitting needs in the future!
Dawn is simply the best! She has cared for my 3 pups several times and I especially appreciate how well she care for my elderly 16-year-old Pomeranian Including giving him his meds twice a day and special attention going outside If you have an elderly pup, I highly recommend Dawn!
I am extremely grateful for taking care of my dog Lauren and for accepting our reservation at the last minute. The caregiver was very kind, flexible, and understanding, which gave me great peace of mind. Lauren was well cared for, and communication was excellent. I truly appreciate the help and would definitely recommend and book again.
Claire did an excellent job watching my two dogs and three cats, she handled my senior chihuahua well and was great about keeping me updated on my two shy kitties. I appreciated her coming before the booking to meet the animals and make sure we all felt it was a good fit. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pensacola on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 637 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pensacola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pensacola walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pensacola maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pensacola choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pensacola. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
