“I cannot recommend this sitter enough! We needed last-minute help with our cat, and she went above and beyond. She took amazing care of our cat, cleaned up after her, and made sure everything was taken care of while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and complete peace of mind. We’re so grateful for her help and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you!”

“She did such a great job taking care of Toby! She was incredibly accommodating, especially since this was a last-minute booking for our weekend trip. Communication was excellent, and she kept us updated throughout the weekend on how Toby was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. Toby was so well cared for and had a great time with her and her pup. We really appreciated how attentive and welcoming she was with him. I would absolutely recommend her and would definitely rebook with her in the future!”

About: I love dogs but want the flexibility to travel, so I thought I’d watch other people’s dogs to get my fill! Your babies will get lots if love here! I had a dog for 13 years and recently fostered a couple of dogs. I also have a cat, but she’ll mostly just hide if I’m watching a dog here. I have a fenced in yard and have given pills to dogs before. Your babies will be in good hands. I work full-time, but not the typical 8-5. I typically leave home around 10:30 and get back around 4, Mon-Thur. your fur baby will get lots of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I have dog crates here already, and some toys! My cat will be hiding, so your baby will get lots of love!

“Fabricia took such good care of my little dog Eli. I was nervous leaving him behind, but Fabricia quickly reassured me that he was doing well. She sent photos and videos daily, which I enjoyed very much. He was eating well and playing with toys, Fabricia loves dogs. Her own dog is well behaved and was welcoming to Eli. I highly recommend Fabricia, and will not hesitate to book with her again.”

About: As a military spouse and stay-at-home parent, I’m highly dependable, flexible, and deeply caring. I know how important routine, trust, and a calm environment are for both pets and their people. I treat every pet like part of the family—with lots of love, play, and personalized care. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing medication. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and great at following specific care instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! We have a 7-year-old Lab-Husky Mix Dog and a 1-year-old cat. Both are great with other animals and love the company. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule, which means I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just company, I’m available throughout the day to provide hands-on care and stick to your pet’s routine. As a parent and military spouse, I’m used to balancing responsibilities while creating a calm, structured, and loving environment. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I treat it as a priority, not a side task. Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I follow all instructions closely and maintain a calm, secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs and routine.

About: Hello! I have had and cared for many different types of pets - dogs, cats, ferrets, turtles, bunnies, hamsters, Guinea pigs, bearded dragons, and fish my entire life! I also have experience with many stages of a pet’s life including puppies, training, seniors, sick/treatment care, and more. I have volunteer experience at Alaqua Animal Refuge in Freeport, FL. This provides me with the training to work with dogs that are anxious, abused, lonely, energetic, scared, and reactive to people and other dogs. My husband and I are retired and empty-nesters. So, I have plenty of flexibility to play/walk with your animals and do drop-ins as needed! I will provide professional references upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Whether you live locally or if you are just vacationing and need someone to check in on your furry friend while you are soaking up the sun, I am here for you. I will send pics too! 🙂 I believe pets are part of the family, and treat them as such. If I am lucky enough, your fur baby will get lots of love and attention from me and all their needs will be met! You can trust that I will treat and care for your pets as if they are my own. All instructions will be followed and I will leave your home in the same condition if not better as when I arrived. Please communicate to me if your animal has any preferences or special needs so I can accommodate your loved ones and give them the best experience! I was blessed to retire early and my children have left the nest, so I have lots of time to spend with all fur babies!!! :) I have a fenced yard and two dogs. I am willing to discuss your dog staying at my home depending on their size and age.

Lina was great with my toy Aussie who is a bit of a handful! He requires lots of kindness & understanding as he is scared of everything! Lina did a great job at making him feel comfortable. She sent lots of updates, pictures and even a fun video! Will definitely use Lina again in the future!

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 315 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Santa Rosa Beach. About 89% of Santa Rosa Beach sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
