Our schedules are all over the place so when we got a puppy we contacted her and she has been a life saver on long days.

About: I want to book the right dogs.. not the most dogs. I truly care about your pets like my own. I have 2 Pomskys (Pomeranian/ Huskys) who are 8 and 10 years old and still so full of life! I’ve had dogs all my life, taken care of others’ pets as a child, and grew up riding horses. I work from home and have a fenced in yard. Happy to meet and show you my home/ meet my dogs! I’ve got two sweet babies that get along with almost every dog they’ve met Let me know your needs! Will take your dogs out as often as needed. Willing to do anything else required. We can go to bay view dog beach as I am just down the street if that is something that your dog is ok with

“Reagan was great! We appreciated the detailed updates and pictures each visit with our kitty. She gave us amazing peace of mind while we were traveling during the holidays!”

“Pooja was an absolute lifesaver! She took such wonderful care of my cat, Luna, while I was away. Luna can be a bit shy/cranky, but Pooja sent me regular updates and photos showing Luna happy and comfortable, which put my mind completely at ease. It's so clear she genuinely loves animals. I came home to a happy, healthy cat and a tidy home. I can't recommend Pooja enough – she's incredibly reliable, caring, and truly the best cat sitter you could ask for!”

“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 🤍”


“It’s hard to put into words what a great pet sitter Miriah is. Let’s just say she’s kind, attentive, thorough; she gives above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone who’s interested in only the best for their animals.”

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.
“My pup loves Heather! She was very communicative with me all during this process, and gives great details regarding her visit. My days are long and I think she does a good job of wearing my little guy out midday.”

About: Leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. My goal is simple: when you're away, you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I've been caring for animals for more than 30 years, starting at age 4 while growing up on my parents' goat and chicken farm and around my grandparents' horses and livestock. Caring for animals of different sizes, personalities, and temperaments has been a natural part of my life for decades. What many pet parents appreciate most is my ability to understand animal behavior. I take the time to earn each pet's trust, respect their personality, and create a calm, positive environment where they can relax and feel secure while you're away. Whether your pet loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, enjoys long walks, or simply wants someone nearby, I'll meet them where they are and care for them according to their individual needs and routine. My experience includes: 🐾 Behavior & Confidence Building I enjoy reinforcing good habits through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. If requested, I'm happy to reinforce the training you're already doing at home. Some examples include: 🐈 Successfully trained two formerly feral cats to come when called, sit on command, consistently use the litter box, and become affectionate, trusting companions. 🐶 Taught a pug to retrieve and neatly line up his leash, harness, and collar by the door in less than 30 days. 🐕 Helped eliminate excessive door barking in a friend's dog in under four hours using calm, consistent behavioral techniques. 🐕🦺 Rehabilitated my own overweight pit bull by helping him lose 30 pounds in two months while teaching reliable recall, heel, sit, stay, and excellent leash manners. I also successfully socialized him around other dogs and established dependable bathroom routines. What you can expect from me: ❤️ Your pet will be treated with genuine love, patience, and respect. 🐾 I'll maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. 📸 You'll receive regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they're doing. 🦴 I'll pay attention to the little things—changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else you'd want to know. 🏡 My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, secure, and happy until you're home again. I understand that every pet is unique, and I believe the best care comes from listening carefully to both the pet and their owner. Medication While I haven't needed to administer medication to pets in recent years, I'm comfortable following detailed instructions provided by you. Whether it's oral medication, topical treatments, or another routine, I'll take the time to ensure it's administered carefully, safely, and exactly as directed. If I ever have questions, I'll communicate with you immediately so you can feel completely confident in your pet's care. I know you're trusting someone with a member of your family—not "just a pet." That's a responsibility I don't take lightly, and I strive to make every visit an experience that leaves both you and your pet happy, comfortable, and looking forward to the next one. I currently work part-time, which gives me consistent availability during the day. My typical availability is: Monday–Friday: 11:00 AM–5:00 PM Additional availability may be possible depending on scheduling, so feel free to ask. I'm happy to discuss scheduling to see if we're a good fit. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to maintain the routines you've established so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I'll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and household guidelines exactly as you provide them. Communication is very important to me. If I notice anything unusual about your pet's behavior, appetite, health, or environment, I'll contact you immediately. Likewise, if I have any questions about your instructions, I'll reach out rather than make assumptions. I know firsthand how much pets mean to their families, so I care for every animal with the same attentiveness, patience, and respect I'd want for my own.
“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.”


About: Lifelong love for animals combined with hands on veterinary experience. I’ve loved animals since I was little, grew up wanting to become a veterinarian, and have owned pets my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I also worked for 3 years as a Veterinary Assistant, where I gained experience safely handling pets, recognizing changes in behavior, and helping animals feel comfortable in stressful situations. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll care for yours with patience, attention, and lots of love. Just like I would my own. Currently own a Orange Tabby Cat named Sammy who is the love of my life :) I’m currently a stay at home cat mom. This allows me to have open availability and flexible scheduling, so I can dedicate plenty of time to playing with, caring for, and giving attention to your pets throughout the day. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any specific care preferences to help keep things consistent and stress free for them.

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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pensacola stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 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.
