About: With 6 years of pet care experience, I understand that pets are family! I strive to provide loving, attentive, and dependable care while following each pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or keeping their space clean, I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I understand how important trust and communication are, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for your peace of mind. Every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized attention! I offer flexible pet care and make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive service. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and other needs in advance. I strive to keep my availability updated and communicate clearly with pet parents to make scheduling easy and stress-free. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, respect your home, and maintain a clean, safe environment. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and individual needs.

About: I am a 58 year old married father of 3. I retired from the Panama City Fire Dept. in 2023 as a Lt./Firefighter, with over 28 years of experience. For 18 of those years, I worked part time as a Physical Therapist Assistant, working primarily in home health care. So you can trust me with your pets. Currently, I am a volunteer/mentor at Alaqua Animal Refuge where I help out in the Dog Adoption Center. My duties include walking, play yarding and cleaning up after the dogs. I also train new volunteers. Currently, I have a very flexible schedule which has made me the go to with family and friends when they need help with pet care. I make daily drop-ins at my daughter's house to care for her cats. I also board various family members dogs when they have to travel. I have 2 friendly cats currently which makes space available for keeping dog clients overnight. I also take all of the dogs in my occasional care for multiple walks daily.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies, young dogs, and adult dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, keeping them safe, giving them plenty of attention and exercise, and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always treat the pets in my care like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m able to work around their individual routines, needs, and comfort levels. I have a pet-friendly home with a fenced yard and plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs.

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 have watched dogs, cats, and reptiles. I can administer medication if need be and/or put diapers on the animal if told they have to wear them. I also work very flexible hours so I won’t be leaving them home alone all day and will be with your pet most of the time!! I can keep up with their routine whether it’s with their potty breaks or meals and medications(if they have any). If you have a fenced in yard I will let them roam out there, unless specifically told different. If walks are needed for overnight stays, I am more than happy to walk them instead of let out in the yard, just let me know😊 I do not watch animals in my home, but in the pets home only. I do make sure they will not get out of the fence or door in your home.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Pretty Bayou is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $19 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Pretty Bayou. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Pretty Bayou after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pretty Bayou. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
