“Dana was so wonderfully accommodating when we were on vacation with our dogs. We messed up schedules for an outting and didn't have a place to take the dogs. She was so sweet with our sweet babies. So thankful for her”
“We brought our 6 month old puppy to the beach with us and she barked like crazy in her kennel. I reached out to Lucia on Rover and she was quick to respond. She kept our girl (Harper) for us at her house while we enjoyed a beach day. I know Harper enjoyed her time with Lucia and we are so so thankful for her! I could tell within 2 minutes of meeting her she was a safe space for our dog and I was able to enjoy the beach knowing Harper was in the best hands!! We will be using her every summer!”
“This sitter is the very best. 10 stars. My babies came back super happy and ready for bed. She is the number 1 dog sitter ever. You on vacation and can’t bring your dog somewhere request Charlie. Thank you for taking care of my babies.”
About: I've had a special place in my heart for dogs since I was a kid. I was the designated puppy trainer, groomer, and bestie for our family pups growing up. I have my own sweet mini labradoodle, Lainey, who loves company! I've helped with family and friends' pets my whole life, and I'm excited to have a new schedule these days that allows me to help out pet parents on Rover. I currently study from home, so I have plenty of time for your pup! I don't have any obligations away from home, so if your pup needs a little extra attention, feel free to say so, and I'll accommodate the best I can. I have a roomy apartment and a screened-in porch. When we're not on walks or at the park, my pup loves hanging out on the porch with the fans on for some fresh air (door to the inside kept cracked open). My apartment is toddler-proofed and safe, and I'm always around to keep an eye on your pup. We have plenty of chew toys, treats, and fun to go around :)
“Sarang was happy when we picked her up. It was a rocky start as she was a bit unsure about being dropped off, but the communication was great and everything turned out ok.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who offers dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding — both in my home and in yours. I truly love animals and treat every pet like part of my family. I’m very responsive, flexible, and available for last-minute and short-notice bookings. My goal is to make pet care easy and stress-free for you — and fun for your pet 🐾 Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, or full-time attention while you’re away, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“What a pleasant experience. I had no doubt that my dog would be taken care of, and really ended up enjoying it. Couldn’t recommend this sitter more. I received constant feedback, with pics and videos, service beyond of what was looking for. 5 Stars! I wish I could give more. (One full day of dog sitting), fenced in backyard was a bonus. Thank you.”
About: My name is Ahni. I’ve worked at a kennel as a dog handler and trainer for over a year. I have a lot of experience with many different kinds of dogs. Big or small I love them all. I also house sit for people when they go out of town and take care of their pets. I’m comfortable with taking care of just about any pet you could possibly have. I do not have any other obligations so I have open availability. I am a reliable animal lover that just wants to extend my love and time to all animals. I am fairly active and work from home. I have all the time to care for your pets. I love to take care of animals I will absolutely make sure your baby is comfortable happy and well loved. Frequent potty breaks. Long walks. Lots of play time. Treats if they are allowed. Other dogs to play with.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, from fostering and caring for pets to gaining hands-on experience with wildlife rehabilitation growing up. Those experiences taught me patience, how to read animal behavior, and how to stay calm and attentive when an animal has unique needs. I also have a dog of my own who is a tripod, so I understand firsthand that every pet may require a different level of care, mobility support, patience, and routine. My background in healthcare has made me especially detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable following specific care instructions. Most importantly, I’m outgoing, compassionate, and genuinely love building trust with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and ensuring they have fun while their owners are away. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, potty breaks, and fresh air can easily be part of our day. I’m also happy to adjust my routine around your pet’s normal schedule, whether that means specific feeding times, medications, extra exercise, or just plenty of snuggles and company. I have a medium sized 25 pound female dog who is incredibly friendly and loves to play with all sized dogs but also does a fantastic job minding her own business if another dog isn’t interested. I live in an apartment complex with two large fenced dog parks and are within walking distance of many safe trails. Additionally I have two dog washing stations here if needed! In client homes I am incredibly respectful and very trustworthy of whatever rules and wishes are stated to ensure the highest level of care for your pet!
“Ashlea is very friendly and accommodating. fast to respond and let me know our fur baby was doing good. She also sent me pictures and videos of her throughout the day. Would highly recommend and will use again if I’m ever in this area in the future. Thank you!”
About: I have always had a dog by my side so I have a lot of experience. In our household live with us, our 2 year old Belgian shepherd Dodge, who needs to be worked out daily and our 12 year old Labrador mix Bella. For me, what counts is that our dogs are family members, so your dog is also in very good hands with me Since I am a housewife and mother, I am very flexible. If discussed in advance, I can also walk your dog on the weekends. Ich hatte morgens The dogs are allowed to move freely in our house. They can go on the couch or with us on the bed or playing in our backyard . If I’m in your house, I will play with them, cuddle and make your dogs feel safe
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.
“We love Aunt Peggy! This was our first time having her sit our puppy, Xoey, and she seemed like she's always known her! You can tell that she loves dogs and Xoey had many fun adventures through the town for the 2 days Peggy sat her. You will not be disappointed!”
“Daniela was wonderful with our shy and timid pup. She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the day that really put us at ease. She was also very understanding when I had train trouble and was late picking him up. Our pup is looking forward to his next visit with Daniela!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for dogs both personally and professionally, including providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and administering medications when needed. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs with different routines and needs, from energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of cuddles. I’m attentive to their behavior and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want both the pets and their owners to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am usually available in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I can figure out a schedule that works best for you! I live in a safe apartment and will always have your dogs on a leash. I will make sure the dog is in the crate and safe if that is requested.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Rosa Beach
Grace was absolutely wonderful! She accommodated my very last minute request to watch my golden so my family and I could enjoy a few extra hours at the beach & eat dinner after checking out of our condo. She was incredibly quick to respond and kept me updated with messages and pictures which gave me such peace of mind. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and great care! I would definitely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a reliable sitter! Thank you SO much!
She seriously saved our trip! We needed someone at the last minute because our dog was super anxious at our Airbnb, and she was able to take him in right away. She was also so flexible and able to keep him for daycare an additional day when our plans changed. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them with so much love and care. We’d 100% trust her with Chip again and highly recommend her! Thank you so much Lucia

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Santa Rosa Beach commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 249 sitters in Santa Rosa Beach, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
