“This was our first time booking with Tammy and we will definitely be using her again in the future! Great communication, she kept us updated with pictures of our pups!”
“I can’t say enough good things about this sitter. My dog Kylo (she also has a dog named Kylo lol) absolutely loves coming here, he’s gotten to the point where he recognizes the place as soon as we pull up and gets excited to go inside. She takes such great care of him and handles him really well, and I can always tell he has a fun, comfortable stay. She’s been incredibly reliable and flexible every single time I’ve booked with her, which makes things so much easier for me. Definitely my go-to sitter, and I’d recommend her to anyone who wants their dog in caring, trustworthy hands.”
About: I love animals. All of them! I have always loved animals since I was a little girl. I love spending time with animals, loving on them, playing with them and teaching them new tricks! It would be a privilege to care and love on your furbaby while you are at work, out of town or just need a few hours to yourself! I prefer to stay local in the Niceville,FL area. I am willing to accomodate Destin but depends how far the client is. Let me care for your furry family member today! Now that I am a stay at home mother and wife, I have a lot more free time to devote in caring for your pet. My schedule is pretty flexible so don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! I would be more than excited to love on your furry friend today! I have a fenced in yard with ample room for your pet to roam around in. I also am able to crate your pet if need be. You would just need to provide the crate and anything else you would want your pet to have to make sure his/her stay is a comfortable one.
“Grace was amazing! Our dog is an active 10 month old puppy and Grace handled her energy levels greatly! She gave us consistent updates and communication throughout the whole process was quick! Would definitely recommend using her to anyone!”
“Jack and Jordan were great with our dog. My boyfriend and I were anxious because Zoe was never far from us, she sleeps with us every night, and this time we couldn't take her with us. But from the photos we received she seemed to be very comfortable, interacting with their animals and with the family, looking out the window, which is her favorite thing. They will definitely be our first choice if we ever need to leave her again. Thank you ☺️”
About: I stand out because I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for dogs and am comfortable following their routines, needs, and personalities. I am responsible, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time to feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. I speak Spanish too. I care for pets by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home or my client’s home, I provide regular meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also follow any special instructions from the owner and keep their space clean and comfortable.

“I can say honestly hands down Emili was the best. I’ve never had to leave lax with anyone , so when this trip came up , I needed someone I could trust explicitly. I met Emili with Lax one afternoon and he definitely liked her as well as I did. She took notes about lax ( habits, eating schedules , vet and was very thorough with anll her questions . She went over hs medications and kept me abreast of all that he was doing . I so appreciated the pics and check ins as it made the trip much easier . I knowing he was so well taken care of . I would definitely use Emili again .”

“We absolutely loved Cida! We left our two dogs under her care for two weeks and she treated them as if they were her own! She put us and our dogs at ease during the meet and greet and during the hand off. She took great care for all of their needs and they looked great when we picked them up. We would absolutely request her services in the future!”

“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!”

Roxy had such a great time with Naomi. She was in constant contact with me to keep my anxiety level low. Roxy loves Naomi so much, that when we got home, she looked for her and whimpered. I will definitely be using Naomi again. She treated my baby with love and care as is she were her own. 💜 Thank you Naomi 🐕💜
Kalvin took good care of our dog Chico. Chico is a very happy doggie when we pick him up from Kalvin house. Kalvin takes him for walks, play with him, and comfort him during thunderstorms. We love the fact he only keeps one pet at a time. I would highly recommend using Kalvin to watch your furry baby.

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.

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.
