About: Many years experience as a loving pet-parent (cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and fish). I have worked as a dog-groomer as well. I am retired and no longer have pets but would enjoy helping out with yours. I am retired and have lots of time to play and care for your pets. I currently do not have pets after losing my 22 year old rat terrier last year but would treasure yours like my own. I live in an apartment without a fence but I can take your dog for walks as needed and can give them lots of my time and attention if they are here. Otherwise, I can come to you for their care.
“I left Mila with Logan for 10 days and she was amazing with my pup! This was my first experience with Rover and Logan did a great job making sure I was comfortable with with the process and the care Mila would receive. I got great pictures and plenty of updates. I’d highly recommend Logan and plan to use her in the future. She made my pup feel right at home!”
“I can say honestly hands down Emili was the best. I’ve never had to leave lax with anyone , so when this trip came up , I needed someone I could trust explicitly. I met Emili with Lax one afternoon and he definitely liked her as well as I did. She took notes about lax ( habits, eating schedules , vet and was very thorough with anll her questions . She went over hs medications and kept me abreast of all that he was doing . I so appreciated the pics and check ins as it made the trip much easier . I knowing he was so well taken care of . I would definitely use Emili again .”
“This was our 13-1/2 year old Cairn terrier's second stay with Fabricia. Meg had spent nearly 3 weeks at Fabricia's last July, had a great time and we were more than satisfied with the care Fabricia gave Meg. Meg had injured a hind leg a couple of weeks before her current visit and was hobbling. Fabricia took excellent care of her including administration of 2 medications daily. She sent us lots of pictures and videos to reassure us that all was well. Meg's leg actually improved under Fabricia's supervision. We recommend Fabricia without reservations. She is great with canines, great with people and a wonderful person!”
About: I have cared for and trained my dog, my mother’s and grandmother’s dogs. I have also provided a variety of personal home-care services to senior citizens, special needs children & nannied off and on throughout my early adult life. I love caring for and helping others. I substitute teach during the school year and I would love to care for pets during the summer time! It is my goal to at least work part time on top of another part time job! :) I have an apartment where I can keep pets for a short amount of time; we have a nice walking area and a dog park.
“Thank you so much Ryan & family! You took such great care of Belle! Thank you for the fun pictures too! So happy to find your family to help us out. We promise to ask you again next time we have to go out of town!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs including having 2 of my own since they were puppies! I enjoy watching them and getting to play with them throughout the day! We have a lot of fun over at our house. I’m currently a dental office manager and love to watch animals in my free time, as it is my passion. My husband is in the military and we both adore the fur babies that we watch. I take the dogs on walks every day, I do have a crate if they need to be crated for any reason. I have 2 dogs to keep your animals company while they are away from their owners.
About: This is not a bougie doggie day spa. This is where dogs come to talk smack on my porch about the 9 ft squirrel they almost caught when they were young. I have fenced in property so they may run and play. For the designer dogs out there this is your chance to come run until you heart is content and howl at the moon with my pack. I have a houseful of my own ranging from a 15 lb to a 140 lb I know how much love they can bring,the funny antics, and sheer delight. I have a certificate from ABC in dog training but my pack can be a little rowdy. Dogs are dogs and can have the freedom to be such at my place. we spend a lot of time outside, playing or sleeping in the sun. Exercise is a dogs best sleeping aid and leads to less destruction in the home. When the heat here gets too much we all go inside to the cool and watch Netflix and they don't complain about my choice in TV. I have cool floors and magical staking sofa's that can hold 4 dogs at a time.....
“Sierra and her children were fantastic. They took great care of my boys and kept us updated everyday with messages and pictures of their wellbeing. She has a very beautiful and clean house, that gave us a lot of comfort knowing that my dogs would be in a clean and well organized environment at all times. My wife and I highly recommend Sierra for your pet boarding needs. Thank you Sierra and kids for your loving care and kindness.”

About: Hi, I'm Carolyn! I am a huge animal lover and believe all animals deserve respect and kindness. I have recently committed my career to caring for dogs. Connecting with dogs is my favorite thing in the world. I know finding a go-to dog sitter can be challenging, I want to be that for you! I have been a devoted pet caregiver since childhood. My life has always revolved around animals. I volunteered at the Atlanta Humane Society when I was younger and more recently worked with a local Wildlife Rescue group. All animals have souls and I love surrounding myself with them. I am now focusing that lifelong passion into providing care for your dogs at Paws & Pine Retreat. Safety is always first, but then FUN!! I currently share my home with four rescue dogs (they hang in the backyard, while your pup has plenty of personal space in the large front yard and private cabin). My crew has taught me how to manage different temperaments, understand body language, and provide the patience that rescue or nervous pups often need. I am also the proud parent of two tortoises. My experience with exotics has made me a highly detail-oriented caregiver who understands that every animal has specific environmental and dietary requirements. My Commitment to You: I know how stressful it can be to leave a family member behind for long periods or even just hours. My mission is to provide a peaceful, safe environment where your dog isn't just "staying," but having their own fun, stress-free experience. Your pup will feel safe, comfortable and loved. I provide the same attentive love and care to my guests that I have given my own pets for a lifetime. Your Dog is My Full-Time Priority I am a full-time pet sitter, which means my entire day is dedicated to the care, safety, and happiness of the dogs staying at Paws & Pine Retreat. I have made the choice to dedicate my life to this work, so your pup will never be an "afterthought" or left alone for long periods. Your dog’s day is defined by freedom without the pressure of forced social interaction. They can move freely in and out of their cabin into their own personal fenced yard. Their day is a cycle of activity and rest. They wake for breakfast and morning play, spend their energy in solo exploration or quiet enrichment, and then transition into deep, restorative naps in their own space. Because there is no forced mingling, the dog can fully relax, knowing their personal space is respected. It is a life of low-stress stability, where they can simply focus on being a dog and having fun! When we are cooling off inside, I provide a peaceful environment that includes Dog TV and soothing background sounds to keep everyone relaxed and entertained. My goal is to mirror the love and structure they get at home so they can have a fun, safe experience while you are away. I am Carolyn and here at Paws and Pine Retreat I’ve created a fun, low-stress alternative to traditional boarding. Your pup will have a private, climate controlled cabin, with its own fenced outdoor area within a larger fenced play area. If your dog is more of an introvert, this is the place. There is no forced community play. Every dog that stays here can enjoy independence. My property is tucked away in the beautiful pines of North Walton County, while also being conveniently located in Freeport. The cabins are situated in my front yard, safely fenced in and always in my vision if I step in for a snack. The full time residents here, Blazer, Juno, Jenny and Jojo have the entire fenced backyard for their home base, leaving plenty of room in the front yard for your dog to play with me or enjoy it's own quiet time in the sunshine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ponce de Leon home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ponce de Leon.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ponce de Leon sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
