About: I have been around animals my entire life and have cared for dogs for many years as a pet owner. I am experienced in providing daily care including feeding, fresh water, exercise, walks, playtime, administering basic routines, and giving pets the attention and affection they need to feel comfortable and secure. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their children and pets because I am dependable, attentive, and responsible. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am committed to providing excellent communication, regular updates, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I work full-time remotely during regular business hours, which allows me flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care before work, during work, after work, and on weekends. I am dependable, responsive, and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and household rules provided by each owner. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to help them feel comfortable and secure. I will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout each visit and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
“Janessa is fabulous woth our girls, making sure they are well taken care of and loved! And as owners, her review cards and pictures provide a sense of security and connection.”

“If you’re looking for a great cat sitter I would highly recommend Paulina. She took great photos and kept us updated when our cats eye was looking swollen. Thanks again!”


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.
“Emma was amazing to our little Archer! She was attentive and wanted to meet us prior to the visit, which was much appreciated. We would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


“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! ♥️”

“Martha was an amazing pet sitter. She is prompt, courteous, and very attentive to detail as well as the animals. I felt very secure leaving my animals in her care. She is also very informative and communicated daily.”
About: I am an experienced animal professional and responsible pet owner who will always ensure that every animal under my care is happy and healthy. I currently work remote as a Veterinary Support Specialist where I work alongside doctors and am responsible for doing tasks such as reporting changes in a pet’s behavior and health, discussing patient cases with doctors and referring doctors, and assisting pet owners with understanding their pet’s status reports, medical records, discharge papers, and after-care needs. In addition to this, I have had many pets throughout my life. I currently have 2 dogs (one dachshund mix and one black mouth cur mix) and 1 tortoise. I also previously had a golden retriever, a shiba inu, 2 rabbits, 10 guinea pigs, 2 ferrets, 4 hamsters, a bearded dragon, and a ball python. For boarding, I will be able to provide pet-care 24/7. For drop-in visits, I will be able to provide pet-care twice a day (or more, depending on how close the family lives to me.) Pets under my care: As a pet-parent, I understand how scary it can be to leave your fur-baby in someone else’s care, so I will always be sure that not only is your pet’s safety a priority of mine but also your peace of mind. I am committed to providing the best care for your pet’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. I take thoughtful steps to earn the trust of new pets, and then follow a careful process when introducing them to my home and to my dogs, to ensure they feel completely safe and comfortable. Additionally, I provide frequent updates and respond promptly to any messages, so you can rest assured that your pet is happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Pet-care at my home: My apartment complex is a gated community that includes fields of grass and safely constructed sidewalks for walking. It also has both a “beach” area where dogs can dig in the sand and a fenced-in dog park where they can run and play off-leash. My apartment itself is a two bedroom with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, balcony (which is safe for pets,) and 6 cameras installed to help with monitoring pets in-house. Pets visiting my home will be staying in my gated-off living room where they can play, free-roam, and lounge on my dog beds. I dedicate my whole living room for the animals I pet-sit so there is plenty of empty space for playing, running, and setting up crates or play pens, if needed. For the nighttime, pets (if they don’t sleep in a crate/pen) will also be sleeping in my living room or with me in my bedroom, if they need more company and or supervision. Pets will also be in my bedroom (which has a floor bed) when it’s cuddle time (which is something that happens a lot). In addition to this, for exercise and going potty, pets will be taken on walks and will have the ability to utilize my apartment complex’s dog-park (when there are no other dogs present besides my own.) Please also note that feedings will entirely depend on the instructions of the owner(s) and that for hydration, a water bowl will always be accessible to pets both in my home and on-the-go. Pet-care at your home: I will care for your pet in any way that is instructed of me in your home!
“Madeline took wonderful care of my senior cat with daily drop-in visits while I was out of town. My cat doesn't like many people, but she warmed right up to Madeline. I was able to leave my cat at home where she is most comfortable and know she was well cared for. I highly recommend her and will definitely hire Madeline the next time I travel.”

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 :) Hey there, I’m Erin! I have been offering animal care services for several years now, and I truly enjoy it so much!

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.

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: *Currently unable to take on new bookings* I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember of all shapes and sizes and ages. I’m often called upon to care for and watch my parents’, grandparents and neighbors dogs and I’ve helped with training my grandparents’ new puppy! I currently work full time but I’m able to dog walk during different times during the week and I can always come by and let dogs out before or after a shift! I will help in the way you need me to at your house, so let’s talk about what’s best for your dog and we can go from there!

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.
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 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.
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 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 pet, 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.
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.
