About: I have been an animal lover all my life and have always had a natural affinity for caring for pets. I have experience in pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and clients, which has allowed me to develop a strong foundation in handling different types of animals and understanding their needs. I am well-versed in basic animal care, such as feeding, walking, grooming, and administering medication if necessary. Additionally, I am responsible, reliable, and attentive to detail, ensuring that the pets under my care receive the best possible treatment. My love for animals and my experience in pet care make me well-qualified to provide exceptional pet sitting and dog walking services I currently work part-time from home, so I'll have plenty of time to give your pet my undivided attention, love and care. Available for boarding, day care, walks and sitting 7 days a week. I live in a gated apartment with a large courtyard and private dog park with my golden retriever to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or am happy to let them cuddle up on the couch or bed.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life! I can feed, give meds, bathe, whatever your needs are! I have also taken care of snakes, rats, gerbils, guinea pigs, fish rabbits! Our house was a zoo when my kids were growing up. When my precious son died we chose our local humane society as our charity of choice. I am retired with a lot of time on my hands, so I would love to help you with your pet! I’m retired so I am available almost any time!!! I can do mornings, lunchtime, afternoons and evenings any day of the week including weekends! I can provide references as to my trustworthiness and my love for animals. I currently have a dog and a cat that rule the roost!
“Grace has been walking my dog once per week for one month. she is very reliable and always on time. i trust her with my dog. my dog will spend one whole day with Grace this weekend!!!! i highly recommend her!!!!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Shelley to watch our dog! The first time I had a last minute booking and she came through for us BIG time. She is great about giving me clear and thorough communication, makes sure she is on time/early, and takes great care of our pup. This is the second time I’ve used her and I will use her again for all of my Rover needs. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to use her. THANK YOU SHELLEY!!!”
“Excellent communication! Flexible and punctual! I was visiting Sandestin and staying in an Airbnb. I couldn’t include my doberman in all the activities so it was such a relief Lucia was able to help me out. She listened so well to instructions for my still in training Doberman and handled her reactivity with confidence! I 💯 will be using her again every time I’m in FL!”
About: Hi there! I relocated to the 30A area this past spring from Colorado, where I was previously offering my animal care services. I look forward to continuing to connect with new individuals & families here that are seeking quality care for their beloved pets! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I am currently available for housesitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Please note that for housesitting jobs I do need to bring my 13 year old chocolate lab along with me. His profile is available to check out at the bottom of my page :) I have been offering animal care services for several years now and I truly enjoy it so much! Animals have always been a part of my life. From growing up with them, to caring for pets of friends and family, to offering my care as a service on this platform since ‘22; I have a wide range of experience with different breeds, needs, ages, and personalities. I also have a 13 year old chocolate Labrador of my own named Paxson, who I have had the joy of living life with since he was 7 weeks old! With all of my experience of caring for different animals and raising my own, I am very confident in my ability to take wonderful care of yours :) I have a flexible schedule which allows me to prioritize my time and attention towards taking good care of the pet(s) I am looking after. Pet parents can expect that if I am available for a booking that I will be all in with your animals! I always inquire about routines, specific instructions and if there is anything else I may need to know in order to ensure the best care for your pet(s). It is important to me to help keep their daily routines as normal as possible, and to be aware of anything I may need to look out for to ensure their safety and wellbeing while in my care.
“Cassidy is incredible! She met my dog today for the first time and walked her. She was so sweet and my dog loved her! I would 100% recommend her to care for your sweet pets!”
“Charlie is absolutely wonderful and I am very happy that I found her! My dog who prefers men to women, took an immediate liking to her. Charlie is very dependable, punctual and clearly has a love for animals. I was hesitant to hire someone I did not know but just a week in now I know my dog looks forward to seeing her each visit. I highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer is so amazing and patient with my shy dog. She takes the time to stop and sit with him when he needs a moment to be confident on walks and gives him the time to explore on their walks once he feels confident. She is great at communicating their progress and always on time which helps so much with our busy schedules. So blessed to have her!”
About: I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on pet care experience from volunteering at Alaqua Animal Refuge.

I currently have a job, but I always plan ahead and am happy to work around my schedule to meet the needs of your pets, being out of school I am more open . I value clear communication and will always be open and upfront to make sure everything is scheduled smoothly and your animals get the care they deserve.

About: I have had pets big and small my whole life and have dog-sat throughout college. I used to walk my family dog, bear 🐻 three times a day. I am happy to spend time with them for company and help others! 💛 I work full time, but only in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays. My schedule is flexible + have a car to get to and from each spot! I live in a big townhouse and am located near a walking path for nice walks. I am happy to host the pets here or at the client’s home
About: Growing up, my grandparents had 5 dogs and 9 cats - needless to say their house was my favorite place in the world. I have experience with both large and small dogs. I fostered kittens and puppies all throughout college, so I have experience with younger animals as well. I currently have 2 cats of my own. I work during the week M-Th, so I am currently available on the weekends and some holidays. I would also be open to drop-ins some mornings and evenings. I will love your pet like my own! When caring for pets in your home, I am also happy to complete other tasks as needed while you are away (watering houseplants, bringing in the mail, etc.).
About: I was raised on a farm in the countryside. We had cats and dogs among other animals. Many of these I claimed as pets. I've owned several dogs in my lifetime and into their older years and currently have two cats which they think they're human. These little animals are part of our families. This makes them of great importance and priority. Their care should be taken just as seriously as each other. Listening to their needs and watching their habits they communicate. I take great care listening to the sounds and movement of a pet to discern what they are trying to communicate that they need. Flexibility is important when it comes to pet sitting. My children are almost adults now so I have more time to care for another family's pets. I do not have the room for a pet in my home but I have lots of room in my heart to take care of your pet in yours.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Santa Rosa Beach on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 593 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Santa Rosa Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 your Santa Rosa Beach. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Santa Rosa Beach.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Santa Rosa Beach. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
