“Ashley was such a blessing! Not only did she fit us in on a busy weekend but she made us feel immediately at ease. She took such great care of our girl and we’d book her time and time again!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have spent years house and pet sitting for friends and family. I am in the Army National Guard and have childcare experience, which has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive. I am very loving and kind, and I naturally connect well with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets. I work weekdays from 2 to 8, which allows me to be available for morning, midday, and overnight pet care. I have National Guard training one weekend each month, but I am available every other weekend to care for your pets. When caring for clients’ pets, I learn their routine and follow instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and exercise based on their needs. I am happy to walk or jog with dogs and always create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you are away.
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and personality to help them feel comfortable while I’m caring for them. I’m happy to meet your dog’s pace and for those with the energy I love a good run and playing games with them! I have a 13 year old dog of my own named Toffee. She’s been my best friend since she was 9 weeks old. We’ve been through a number of things together which have taught me a lot about caring for a dog from a very young age into senior age. It can be nerve wrecking leaving her when I have to go out of town and I’m always looking for the best possible care for her. I know how much this matters for her, and for myself. I would love the opportunity to bring you and your dog the same peace of mind that I myself want and need. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. This means that I can be available whenever you and your dog(s) need me! I spend a LOT of time cuddling with my own dog and taking her on adventures. She loves traveling and exploring new parks as well as swimming. She has arthritis which is treated with an injection every few months as needed. We go on frequent walks so she can get her sniffing in which is incredibly important for a dog’s brain. Even just 15 minutes sniffing around outside does wonders for their cognitive health. She gets a treat after her potty breaks, and is a big fan of pumpkin! I add a bit to her food for vitamins and minerals. I bathe her and keep her nails trimmed as well as brushing her fur to keep it soft and comfy for her.
About: I love theater. I love any kind of animal and I will treat them like as if they are my own. I used to have pets but they passed away recently. I’m only available to pet sit at your own place! My apartment does not allow pets. However I can pets it anywhere else. I am available in Panama City, Panama City Beach, Southport, and 30a! I also work at Panama City Toyota full time Tuesday-Friday from 10-7 and Saturdays from 8:30-6 so my availability might be limited but I always find a way to work things out! I have experience volunteering at the Humane Society of Bay County. I will make your pet a very very happy. Can’t wait to meet everyone. It gives me time to play with other pets and gives me time to learn how to deal with situations that I can absolutely learn! I do not have a fenced in area nor am I allowed to have dogs in my house so I can only petsit in your home.
About: I’ve worked with aggressive dogs in the past and have trained my golden retriever out of both food aggression, toy aggression, and resource guarding. I’m used to distributing medication orally if necessary as my own dogs have needed it before. I frequently groom Dizzy myself as he is a high maintenance golden retriever so I am available for that as well if needed. I am finishing my senior year from home so I am with my dogs 24/7. I feed them myself, I give them water myself, and I train them myself. I train my dogs for at a minimum of 5 minutes every day and work a variety of skills into their training, such as crate training, patience during meals, not snatching things, such as toys or treats, when I give it to them, settling when in the house, and I also socialize them to different sounds such as knocking on doors, babies crying, fire alarms, etc so they are set up for success no matter what happens. I want nothing but the best for my babies and I want you to know I want nothing but the best for your pets as well! My dogs have an acre of land to roam around in. They have full access to water 24/7 and get fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the late evening before the sun sets. I work on training them for a minimum of 5 minutes a day to keep their skills and learned tricks in tact and I usually take them to our nearby park to hang out and meet new people!
About: What sets me apart is my medical background and hands-on animal experience across a wide range of species. I worked veterinarian settings for 6-10 years, so I’m comfortable monitoring health changes, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or distress. Safety and attentiveness come naturally to me. I also hold a Bachelors in agriculture, which gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, nutrition, and proper husbandry. I regularly foster puppies and dogs, as well as cats and kittens, so I’m experienced with: • Potty training & crate training • Socialization and basic obedience • Bottle feeding & neonatal care • Senior pet comfort and mobility support Your pets won’t just be watched — they’ll be understood, monitored, and genuinely cared for like family. As a stay-at-home mom, my days are centered around caring for others — which makes pet visits a natural and dedicated part of my routine. I structure my schedule around reliable drop-ins, giving each pet calm, unhurried attention and consistent care throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, administer medications if needed, and provide attentive companionship tailored to each pet’s personality — whether that’s playtime, enrichment, quiet company, or extra cuddles. I’m respectful of your home, clean in my habits, and mindful of details. I send consistent updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, relaxed pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and I have experience working at a veterinary clinic where I cared for dogs daily. Your animals will be in great hands! I have just moved to Florida and I am available mostly anytime any day. If anything changes I will update my availability as soon as possible. I am capable of caring for your animal in the ways you need, whether it is feeding, walking, playing, or anything else you might want!
About: Hi there! My name is Shelby and I have 30+ years of experience when it comes to caring for and loving dogs & cats. I know first hand the struggle of juggling work, life, and giving the most to your fur baby. So let me help! I am a dedicated dog owner of two + cat owner of one and we love to explore, snack, snooze, swim and play. I have had dogs & cats all my life and they truly are members of the family. I work fully remote which allows me the flexibility to help care for your pups! Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns regarding my services. 🐶🐾 I currently work fully remote so am very flexible for walks or drop in visits throughout the day! Please message me with any inquiries :) I will follow any instructions you give me when taking care of your pup - whether that be crating your dog after we go on a walk, making sure they have food and water, indoor play time, etc!
About: I have had pets in my life ever since I was little. So I love helping take care of them. I also am very good with puppies and teaching them new tricks, and helping with potty train. I also love helping keep dogs very active, or just chill with them and cuddle! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of free time. All days of the week are good for me. I’m even available on weekends if needed. I have a fenced in backyard. I also have a dog of my own, who loves to play with others and gets along with all sizes. He loves to share his toys or just play together. Or if it’s in your own home, anywhere your fur baby loves to play! I also have dog parks around for your baby to play with or without others, and a nice neighborhood to walk around. Or we can walk around your neighborhood as well!
About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
About: I have taken care of animals such as dogs all my life growing up. Young, senior or in between I have a passion for animals. All deserve love and respect! No matter the animal or size I have a passion to let them know they are loved. Any time is fine. If walks are needed as long as the sun is up it is most preferred. I can make time for any animal. I have a senior small dog that minds her buisness. There's a fenced backyard to run around in. I love to play with animals and make sure they get plenty of pets!
“We hired Ashton to walk our baby while we were out of town and she was staying with my elderly grandparents. She was amazing and shared plenty of pictures for every walk. We will definitely use her again next time we need someone.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs for as long as I can remember! From pit bulls to poodles. I currently have a German shepherd husky mix and she is the sweetest, gets along great with other dogs. I’m not currently working so I’m fully available to house sit and/or walk your animals as often as you need. I love dogs and cats! I currently live in an apartment with my doggie, kitty, and two year old son. He loves helping me feed our pets and take them outside to play and go on walks. We have a small fenced dog park in our apartment complex. We go there often. But I prefer to care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I’m unfortunately not allowed to have other pets in my home.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life including horses, rabbits, chickens, hamsters and turtles. I have several dogs and cats now. Love them all. I do gig jobs as a driver so I am out and about a lot, know the area and can stop by anytime after 11 am. I will feed, walk, play with dogs. I will clean litter boxes for cats if need be. Please leave written instructions for all of them.
“Madeline is actually THEE best dog sitter there is out there. She’s always super attentive, loving towards your four-legged bestie and sends all of the best pictures and updates during her visit.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pretty Bayou
Rebecca is a ray of sunshine and a blessing! I appreciate her timely response, professionalism, and her kindness to accommodate walking my dog the day of last minute. I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate her for that! On top of that my fur baby loved her! As soon as she walked in on the pet cam I saw her tail wiggle with excitement in her playpen. Rebecca also introduced her self to Stella by letting her smell her hand which seems like a small detail but it makes all the difference for fur babies especially senior ones! She went above and beyond in terms of care and attentiveness towards my fur baby! Thank you so much again! I hope you have a lovely day and tons of blessings coming your way 🍀 sent with the warmest regards.

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 walker.
