About: I’m a dependable, caring, and patient animal lover who treats every pet like part of the family. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, so I focus on providing a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, including puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. I can help reinforce basic routines like potty breaks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and leash walking. I also pay close attention to pets’ behavior and comfort to help them feel secure while you’re away. Because I have a family-oriented home, I’m used to maintaining routines, staying organized, and creating a warm environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a stay-at-home mom and home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I enjoy staying active with walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks, while also making sure pets have plenty of time to relax and feel comfortable. I’m very routine-oriented, so I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and bedtime. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I adjust my care to match their needs and personality. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I’m able to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I provide potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, playtime, walks, and lots of attention and affection. I adjust care based on each pet’s age and energy level, whether they need an active walk or a slower pace for senior pets. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

About: Hiiii! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for all kinds of pups, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m especially patient with older dogs who may need extra time, attention, or a gentler pace. I treat every dog like they’re my own—showered with love, cuddles, and care. Whether it’s a walk, a meal, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits my flexible routine perfectly—I’m active, loving, and patient. Caring for pets brings me joy and never feels like work. I can’t wait to be with you’re puppies!! I have a golden retriever and a little rescue dog not sure what breed he is. I take care of them by feeding them and letting them out I’m always home during the day so I spend my time loving on the both of them. They are the sweetest most gentle and loving dogs you’ll ever meet!!!

Coming from a third-party perspective, everyone wants their fur babies to be cared for and not taken advantage of. I was skeptical at first about letting someone into my home, but Jennifer completely proved me wrong in the best way. She’s easily one of the best sitters I’ve had. Her communication is excellent, and she truly goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of. Whether your dog needs constant attention or just a little, she adapts perfectly. She actively plays with them and meets all their needs. I felt completely at ease. She’s also very accountable and professional. If anything unexpected comes up, she handles it responsibly, and she’s very understanding if you ever need to cancel for an emergency. The level of care she provides is top-notch. I’m really glad I found her; it’s rare to come across someone this reliable.

Nothing but good things to say about Charlie!! She took great care of my dogs while I was away. I will definitely ask her to do drop-in visits again when I leave town. Thank you, Charlie! I appreciate the care and attention that you gave my dogs. :)

About: I was born and raised in a small rural Missouri town surrounded by all kinds of animals; big and small! Dogs have always been a major part of my life, and I hold their safety and enjoyment to the highest standard. Growing up on a farm, I’ve cared for dogs of all stages of life; from their first day to their last! I’ve administered medications in pill form, and changed wound dressing when needed. I don’t shy away from the big or “scary” breeds, & I believe all dogs deserve the same respect! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time dedicated solely to your furry family member! Availability is open from 7am-7:30pm; Monday-Saturday. Your pets safety is my #1 priority! I will treat your dog with the same respect as I would my own, and I will pay close attention to the dogs temperature levels and surroundings. Fresh water will be readily available on all walks.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dog breeds throughout my life. Ranging from bloodhounds, German shepherds, to Belgian Malinois and others. I’m very familiar with working dog breeds and have trained myself own Belgian Malinois. No matter what need your furry family member needs, I will ensure it is met and exceeded. Currently I’m in the Army National Guard so I have tons of availability and free time to devote to animals and pet care. I also spend tons of time outside and hiking with my Belgian Malinois. I have a wooden fully fenced in back yard. I also am familiar with escapee dogs and am very quick to respond to many situations when needed. I am not afraid of confrontation so that is not a worry either.

About: I’m more of a dog person than a human person!! Will take the best care of your baby to the extent I’d expect if it were my own. I work fully remote so I absolutely love having dogs around while I’m home all day! They will get my full attention and plenty of outside! I have a golden retriever of my own who absolutely adores other dogs! I love going for walks and playing outside until the pups cave on me. They’re more than welcome on furniture and to sleep with me that’s a given

Ben is a treasure. I recently had to change my long time sitter so this is the first time my cat has had someone else in 2 years. He adored Ben. Ben spent extra time with him and treated him like he was his own. I highly recommend Ben for your loved pets.

About: Hi there! I’m an Alaqua Animal Refuge approved foster momma! I treat every animal like they’re part of my family, not just a booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away — whether that means structured walks, playtime, or plenty of snuggles on the couch. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing because I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I own my own business and work from home. This allows me to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have the flexibility to step away when needed for walks, drop-ins, or special care requests, so pets receive consistent care without long periods alone. I adjust care to each dog’s personality and needs — whether that’s structure and patience for puppies or extra comfort and gentle care for seniors. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel reassured. My goal is simple — happy, comfortable pets and owners who feel completely at ease while they’re away.

Crysta was AMAZING!! I had a unique request: help me get my three dogs to my wedding. Our dogs are a very big part of our lives and we knew our wedding wouldn’t be complete without them. We’ve always dreamed that at our wedding we would be surrounded by our family and friends and our dogs are the most important members of our family. Crysta made our wedding complete! She stepped in when no one else could and accepted the request without hesitation. I scheduled a meet and greet just to make sure she got to meet them first and we talked through our wedding timeline. I asked Crysta to be at our Airbnb for 4 pm, let them have a quick potty break, and take them about 15 minutes down the road to our venue, wait while we take some family photos with the pups, then bring them back to our Airbnb. Let me tell you, she exceeded my expectations TREMENDOUSLY!! She arrived out our house around 3:30, let them have a longer potty break than I asked for, and made it to my venue ONE WHOLE HOUR before the wedding started. She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for and got to and from the venue safely. I’m not from Destin, I was just in town for the wedding from Houston, but whenever I am back in town and need help with our dogs, she will be the FIRST person I call. She was so kind and friendly and she treated our dogs like they were her own. Words cannot describe how happy I am that I found Crysta. I think my dogs were just as happy, they loved her!! She sent me some cute pics too. Thank you so much Crysta!! You made our dream come true! ♥️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Santa Rosa Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Santa Rosa Beach on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 658 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Santa Rosa Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Santa Rosa Beach 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Santa Rosa Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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. 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Santa Rosa Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Rosa Beach. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
