“Isabella is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve had the privilege of hiring. She was very flexible with my last minute needs, her communication is top tier, and If there was ever a problem (my fault) she was good at letting me know. My puppy is a big fan of her per the daily photos I received. She has won me over as a repeat client and I look forward to taking another trip without the stress of worrying about my puppy’s needs. Thank you again, Isabella! (:”


About: I have had pets my whole life and have spent years house and pet sitting for friends and family. I am in the Army National Guard and have childcare experience, which has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive. I am very loving and kind, and I naturally connect well with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets. I work weekdays from 2 to 8, which allows me to be available for morning, midday, and overnight pet care. I have National Guard training one weekend each month, but I am available every other weekend to care for your pets. When caring for clients’ pets, I learn their routine and follow instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and exercise based on their needs. I am happy to walk or jog with dogs and always create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you are away.
“Jessie has been absolutely amazing. My dogs are a bit of a handful and I was a little worried about introducing a new person into their routine but it hasn't been an issue at all. It has been such a relief having someone dependable and caring that can drop in on them and I don't have to be concerned about it! Thank you Jessie!”

“We had Christine drop in to check on our cat while we were away for the week. Could not recommend enough! Everything went very smooth with communication and she put our mind at ease while we were away.”

“Hailey was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cats and sent tons of photos, which I loved. She was so caring and made sure my girls were happy and well, and she spent time playing with them too. Hailey was super easy to communicate with and answered fast. Will definitely ask her to watch them again!”

“Allie was amazing! She brought snacks for biggie when she showed up, she did make sure he didn’t have allergies first and that was really appreciated! I got loads of cute pictures from both visits and it was great she took the time to play with him and set up his puzzles for him before she left! Will for sure be contacting Allie again when we need help!”

About: I’ve owned cats since I was born. I love taking care of cats and how loving and sweet they are I would be delighted to take care of your cats. I don’t have a busy routine or schedule. I’m very flexible with your needs and whatever your routine is I will be able to care for your pet whenever. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own ensuring trust and safety, and not only the pet but the owners in welcoming me into their home.

About: I have had taken care of/lived with various dog breeds, and have walked and raised dogs since I can remember. I recently began volunteering at Alaqua walking and playing with dogs, and I have experience dog sitting and walking my neighbors dogs. I have worked with puppies, middle aged dogs, older dogs, both big and small! I love dogs unconditionally and I will do everything in my power to ensure they stay spoiled and happy :). I work part-time closing shifts at my job, so I am available for early mornings and late nights. I work whenever I am scheduled, but I am always off on Wednesdays! My normal shift is normally 4pm-10pm, so I am available to dog sit, check-in, or walk before and after my shift! I cannot care for pets at my own home, but I will ensure that when I come to your home, I will keep it looking good as new. I am a chronic dish washer if any dishes or slight cleaning needs to be made. I am also no stranger to accidents that dogs are prone to, as one of my past dogs had a sensitive stomach, especially when it came to my carpeted floors. I will do whatever your dog wants to do, but my favorite aspect of it all is to ensure that the dog is happy and to make a connection with them. I love being active and playing, but I can also just simply snuggle up with them.
“Cranesha did very well with following specific instructions. I could tell my dog felt at ease with her. We rested well knowing our dog was well cared for. I hope to use her in the future. Thank you. 😊”
“Meredith was an amazing sitter, especially after being willing to watch my puppy on a list minutes notice. Will definitely be reaching out to her first in the future!”
About: I am a fur mom to 7 dogs, 1 cat and fish. I have had animals in my life since I was a teenager. I had a dog sitting business years ago and loved it. I have senior dogs now and have even rescued senior dogs and they lived with me until the end. I have fostered for rescues and even been a foster failure and adopted. I currently work full-time but still can stay at your home to watch your babies. I love dogs, cats and fish. I have had animals since I was a teenager and had a pet sitting business in Alabama before I moved to FL. At one point I had over 20 dogs in my home lol. Now I prefer to stay at my clients home but can still keep your baby at mine if you need. I promise to give your baby the love and attention he/she needs and deserves because they are babies with fur coats and should be treated like it. I will do whatever needed in my clients home, check on your pets at your home or your pets can stay at my home. I have my own pack myself.
About: I've lived on a horse farm my entire life surrounded by animals. Keeping a schedule of stimulation and care daily. I work as a Wrangler giving children horse back riding tours through the mountains and care for 150 head of horses (off my property) on a regular basis. I grew up with multiple dogs large and small as well as cats, cows, chickens, turkeys, the works! I've cared for multiple litters of Cocker Spaniel puppies as a child, including bathing, trimming/grooming, and feeding. I have helped birth a litter of pups as well as a horses new born foal. I care for my friends pets when they go out of town all the time and really enjoy the company of a furry companion on my numerous hiking adventures around the county.

About: Thank you so much for viewing my profile and considering me to help with your pets! Hi, i’m Hannah. I’m new to Rover, but not new to being around and caring for dogs. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and have always been a huge animal lover. I’ve also helped care for family friends’ pets while they were away, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I always aim to provide a calm, caring, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend. Whether your dog is big or small, energetic or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to help you and your pets! I currently work part time nights, which means i have lots of free time to care for you pets needs. I have a toddler who loves animals even more then i do and is always gentle when playing with them, Kid-Friendly pets are very important to me and the comfort of me being able to bring my toddler on walks occasionally. I do ask for a 3 day advance before caring for your pet, so that we can go over any questions and set up meet and greet. The meet and greet is required before accepting the booking for everyone’s safety and comfort. I prefer to care for pets at their owners home, as being in a new environment could cause stress and not be as comfortable as they are in their own home. Their comfort and the owners is what i value the most. My goal is to ensure your pets health, safety, comfort/routines are always put first. Please feel free to message me to set up meet and greet! I would love to answer any questions and concerns you have to ensure a great experience for everyone.

About: Hi! I’m Sydney and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have two large dogs (about 75–80 lbs each), so I’m very comfortable with big breeds, high-energy dogs, and leash training during walks. I understand how important routine and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. I’m reliable, attentive, and will make sure your dog gets the exercise, potty breaks, and attention they need while you’re away. I am real estate agent in the Panama City area so I can move my schedule around all fur baby’s needs. I am available on almost all days. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, potty breaks, medication if needed, and any specific habits your pet has. I respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. On walks, safety is my top priority. I make sure dogs are securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations with other animals, and pay attention to their energy level and comfort. Whether your dog needs a quick potty walk or a longer walk to burn off energy, I make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I also send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing.

“We really appreciated Abigail's help with taking care of our cat while we were gone over the holidays. She gave great updates every visit with pictures. We will definitely try to use her again when we need someone for our pets.”
