“Jordana stopped in to play with my puppy and they seemed to have a great time. I appreciated the videos and plan to use her again for drop-in visits. Highly recommend!”
“Carson went above and beyond taking care of our pups and on extremely short notice. He was really good with them and communicated excellently. Highly recommend him for your next booking. He doesn’t disappoint”
“Brooke is wonderful with our critters! She stepped in last minute to watch them so we could spend time with family. We were able to relax knowing the great care she takes when watching them.”
“Poet was absolutely amazing with Bernoulli and Sunni. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treated them like her own. She kept us updated, made us feel completely at ease, and our pups came home happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her and would trust her again in a heartbeat 🤍”
About: What sets me apart is my positive energy and hands-on care. I love keeping pets engaged and happy while sticking closely to their routines. I’m comfortable with basic training reinforcement, leash manners, and giving extra care to puppies or senior pets. Every visit is focused on fun, safety, and making pets feel comfortable. Hi! I’m a retired, high-energy animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, plus a lifetime of pet ownership. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat, so pets are a big part of my everyday life. I have flexible availability and enjoy staying active with walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and giving medications, and I always follow routines closely. I treat every pet like my own and would love to help care for yours while you’re away I care for pets in their own homes, keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and medications if needed. I’m attentive to safety by securing doors, gates, and leashes, and I always keep a close eye on pets during visits. I also send regular updates and photos so pet parents can relax knowing their pets are in good hands.
“Jennifer was nothing short of amazing! We felt extremely comfortable with her during the meet and greet with our girls and can tell from the photos that they enjoyed her company. She took care of our girls the same way we do and made sure to spend the entirety of her stays doing what the dogs love doing- fetch and giving tons of affection! Lots of great daily photos and updates. We would 100% have Jennifer watch our girls again. Thank you soooo much for taking such great care of our girls and house!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and always as a puppy from birth. From Shih Tzus, to labs, and most recently a Great Dane, I have helped train, raise, and keep all sizes. I do work full time, but typically wrap up my day by 3 and every day. I work in east hill and live near downtown. Afternoon/evening/nights are wide open for walks and play time and house checks. Depending on the age and breed of the dog, I like neighborhood walks or easy trail runs. Happy to go to a park or stay in the yard for some fetch or tug of war. Can clean up the yard, water, feed and leave the pet however the client prefers (gated, caged, inside, or outside).
About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I'm one of those people who, before I came out of my shell, spent more time with animals than people. Sometimes I still do. I've had dogs and cats all my life, and also rode horses starting just before I was 4. I have 9 years of experience on Rover and another 2 independently dog walking and sitting before that. I’ve cared for many kinds of dogs and cats, fish, turtles, donkeys, a family of racoons, and more. And I have a lot of experience caring for older animals and animals with medical conditions. I also used to volunteer with my mom transporting rescue dogs with Echo Dog White German Shepherd rescue. I am a homebody for the most part, so once I'm there I'm probably not going anywhere. My capital W Work is writing - I'm 13 years into an elven magic realism epic screenplay/novel series, it is my passion project and pet/housesitting gives me the time to tend to that vision, and fur babies to keep me company! Walking and playing with them keeps me active and in my beloved nature. It is a great joy to give people peace of mind while they travel, knowing their home and furbabies are in good hands. I know how stressful it can be - I was born in the Northeast and then moved to Nashville when I was 12 so my mom and I would drive up there to visit family, but we would often bring our dog and cats with us on that 13 hr ride because we didn’t have anyone we trusted to watch them. It’s a great time, unless it’s a family emergency. Now, I get to be that person for other people! My clients relaxing, knowing that they can have fun or do what needs doing and that their fur babies are taken care of at home - that is priceless and never gets old. If you have 3 or more pets, I'm happy to give a discount. I know how hard it can be trying to find care for them when you have many. Feel free to reach out! Pets are family. I will make sure they receive the best care possible! I'm a night owl myself when I'm home but whatever their routine is, I will stick to that as much as I can. For dogs, walks are included in housesitting if you want that. And any plant and garden care etc. Totally depends on your and your pet's needs. I'm so excited to look after your fur baby!
“Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog Ziggy! She was able to arrange booking for my work days on short notice and made Zig feel comfortable enough to feel at ease. We appreciate you so much thank you!”
About: I have experience taking care of all sorts of animals all my life. I grew up with lots of dogs and cats. I have watched co-workers and friends dogs through out the years. I know how to give medication, first aid, groom, bathe, walk and read animal behavior. I have trained multiple dogs in my life to follow commands. I am a dog mom, artist, photographer and Navy wife. I would love to walk, play, feed and pet sit your animals. I also have base access. I am very attentive of the safety of your pets. I make sure they are fed, have water, need any medication and are let out frequently. Most importantly make them feel loved with the attention they need.
About: I gave 2 elderly dogs their pill medication for joint pain. Recently, I was able to give another dog her pill and liquid medicine for a dental issue. I may start college part time soon but as of now, I am available every day so I'd be able to care for your pets as needed. When I was 14, I cared for a neighbor's cat and elderly dogs. I made sure the cat was well fed and the litter box was kept fresh. I also gave both the cat and elderly dogs their required amount of pill medication every morning after walks.
About: I have experience caring for dogs through working at a doggy daycare, where I spend my days supervising dogs, keeping them safe, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I also have experience with my own dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them the attention they need while their owners are away. I always try to make pets feel comfortable and cared for, while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and can usually accommodate different times with advance notice. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time to make sure the timing works and that your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have experience working with dogs in a daycare setting, as well as caring for my own dogs and cats, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I’m careful about doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else you leave for me to know. I’ll treat your home and your pets with respect and keep you updated during visits so you know how your furry family member is doing.
“Brittany was great checking in on our dogs for a long weekend. She was timely, communicative, sent lots of updates and was able to help out on a last minute request. We’ll definitely reach out to her again next time we need a sitter/dog walker.”
“Natalie did an amazing job dropping in to visit our pups every day while we were out of town for a week. We will definitely book with her again and recommend her highly.”
About: Drop your fur babies off for the day or even for overnight stays. Large or small, your best friend will be well taken care of and entertained with all the room to play in a fenced-in backyard. I am retired and have one furbaby, but I'm looking for ways to give back to the furry friend community and dogsitting is the perfect opportunity! I am excited to meet you and your pets! Let me know if your baby requires medication or a special diet. There is a large fenced-in back yard for your dog to roam and play.
About: Kind, caring, responsible adult with experience caring for various animals and/Or houses. Very professional and clean sitter looking for opportunities to work with similar clients. I am newly retired from 9-5 work and I have a flexible schedule that allows for me to spend time loving on your pets. I can accommodate any schedule or needs that you have for your pet, in your home. I prefer small to medium pets but am open to any pets that are easy to care for
About: I’ve always had a special soft spot for pit breeds and short-haired dogs, but I truly love and appreciate every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I enjoy learning each animal’s unique personality and providing personalized care, patience, attention, and plenty of love. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parent is away! Pet care naturally fits my routine. I enjoy feeding, walking, playing, and giving pets plenty of love while respecting their unique schedules and personalities given any special requirements they may have. I follow your pet’s routine, providing food, walks, playtime, safety, and love while respecting your home and treating your fur baby as my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pensacola
Carson is amazing with communication and is very reliable! This is our first time requesting Carson but it definitely won't be the last time. He is very dependable and arrived on time each day and sent pictures of our three pups both days. I look forward to him spending more time with our pups in the future.
Miriah was absolutely AMAZING with our little kitten! She went above and beyond every step of the way, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did and would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter. We can't wait to book with her again!
Sara is fantastic, she took care of our senior cat and provided us with detailed updates every day for an entire week. Even brought all our mail inside during the thunderstorms which was super sweet. I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry child and I'd definitely book with her in the future. Thanks so much, Sara!
My girls are friendly, but they LOVED Kelly, who was able to commit to my cats’ care at a moment’s notice due to a different, poor experience on Rover involving a last minute cancellation. Kelly delivered a gold-star standard of sitting. She is communicative and kind. I look forward to reaching out again when a sitter is needed, and I highly recommend others consider the same.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pensacola is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,165 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pensacola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pensacola. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
