“I booked Emily last minute in a panic after a sitter did not show up and she did amazing! My little Kensee is elderly and comes with long instructions and she took it all in stride! I can tell Kensee took well to her, even though she was a last minute stranger. She was so responsive and responsible. Thank you so much Emily!!”

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.
About: Compassionate, dependable pet care tailored to every animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I provide attentive companionship, thoughtful updates, and respectful care for cats, dogs, and other beloved pets, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for overnight pet and house sitting throughout Santa Rosa Beach and along 30A. I’m also willing to travel for the right booking. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I organize my schedule around the needs of the pets and households I care for. I’m a published author currently working on my next book, so I value quiet time, peaceful surroundings, and the companionship of fur companions. For overnight bookings, I stay in the client’s home through the night and follow the care plan we agree upon. In addition to writing and pet sitting, I am a Sound Alchemist, Sound Practitioner, Sound Journey Facilitator, Vibrational Resonance Guide, and Sonic Meditation Facilitator. Through sound, vibration, mindfulness, and immersive listening experiences, I create peaceful, grounding environments while avoiding clinical or medical claims. These practices complement my love of quiet time and my appreciation for calm, attentive companionship. I am also capable of watering plants, collecting mail, and bringing in delivered packages while you are away. I’m happy to help maintain a lived-in appearance and care for these household details according to your instructions. I leave pets alone only according to each pet parent’s guidelines, since every pet and household has different needs and routines. Before accepting a booking, we’ll discuss your expectations, your pet’s routine, exercise needs, daytime care, medication requirements, and the amount of time your pets can comfortably be left alone. Clear communication in advance helps ensure that my availability is a good fit. As a quiet, non-smoker who deeply respects your privacy and property, I treat your home with the utmost care and cleanliness. I am fully comfortable managing home security systems and maintaining your daily household routines while you are away. I provide overnight care in the client’s home so pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their usual routines. I treat each home, its belongings, plants, mail, packages, and the family’s privacy with care and respect. I am attentive to instructions and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort, and needs. My experience with cats, horses, German Shepherds, Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, and farm animals has taught me that every animal has a unique personality and requires patience, consistency, and individualized care. I also cared for my beloved cat, Sterling, for more than 22 years. These experiences have strengthened my sense of responsibility and helped me recognize subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I welcome a meet-and-greet before each booking so you and your pet can get to know me, review instructions, and feel confident about the care plan. I provide regular photos and updates while you are away so you can stay connected and reassured. Staying overnight also provides companionship for your pets and helps your home appear occupied.

Thanks Lisa for taking very good care of Dash while we were away. ?”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Rosa Beach
Karissa did a great job with the drop-in visit for my senior dog, Georgia! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave Georgia, along with the photo updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Karissa again!
Lucia did a wonderful job caring for our cat, Finny, during five days of drop-in visits. She followed all of our feeding instructions carefully, including giving him his wet food, dry food, and favorite treats. Finny is very shy and usually hides from strangers, but Lucia made an extra effort to spend time with him, talk to him, and tempt him with treats so he wouldn’t feel alone. We truly appreciated her kindness and attentiveness and would gladly book her again!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Santa Rosa Beach is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
