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.
About: I’ve always had a dog since I was in kindergarten so caring for them is natural for me. Anyone who knows me knows my dog and knows how spoiled, well taken care of, and how loved he is I have a really open and flexible daily schedule making it really easy to fit anything in and have open availability to help care for your pet I will care for your pet as if it is my own and will also provide communication about visit as well as photos during the visit
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 :)
“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.”

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.
“Paulina is a top tier pet sitter. My partner and I could not have been more pleased with the level of care and consideration she offers. We will be booking her for the foreseeable future. Even though this was our first time working with her she puts you at ease and I knew I could trust her immediately. Thank you Paulina ✨🫶🏻”

“Lisa was amazing! She came through for my pups at the last minute, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was reliable, responsive, and took great care of them on short notice. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Lisa, for helping us out when we needed it most! We would gladly book with you again. 🐾💕”


“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! ♥️”

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!
About: I’ve always had a dog. I love the outdoors and walk my own dog 3-4 times a day! I also have had bathing and grooming training. I am currently a wife and stay at home dog & kitten mom. I have plenty of time attention, and love to give to your fur babies! I have one dog of my own and a great yard. I will always provide the care and love you want for your furry family member.
“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 love dogs, and come from a dog loving family! Over the past 10 years my family has operated a dog retreat in Alaska, which I am grateful that I got to be a part of. I work part time, but I am available most evenings for let outs and walks. I may occasionally be available in the morning in the future. I am excited to meet your fur baby, and know that being away is hard on both you and them. I will do my best to make sure they get the care they deserve.
“Nicole was available last minute. Showed up. Asked questions if needed. She stayed with our puppy until we returned even after realizing he was a handful. She sent pictures to update us. She was great.”

“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.”

About: *Update* Hello! I recently relocated to the 30A area from Durango, Colorado where I have previously been offering my animal care services. I am looking forward to connecting 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 :) Hey there, I’m Erin! 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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 675 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Santa Rosa Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
