About: I have always had pets! I have helped a dog give birth before. As well as trained several different breeds of dogs! I have also trained one cat to sit. I don't have a job right now so I'm available with little notice on weekdays and moderate notice on weekends! I will try to answer to everyone promptly I clean my cats litter boxes every other day and take my leash trained cat on a walk at least once a day! I can clean accidents, and litter boxes. I have no trouble following a feeding schedule or administering medication, I've given both dogs and my cats medicine in the past.

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.

About: I’ve worked with aggressive dogs in the past and have trained my golden retriever out of both food aggression, toy aggression, and resource guarding. I’m used to distributing medication orally if necessary as my own dogs have needed it before. I frequently groom Dizzy myself as he is a high maintenance golden retriever so I am available for that as well if needed. I am finishing my senior year from home so I am with my dogs 24/7. I feed them myself, I give them water myself, and I train them myself. I train my dogs for at a minimum of 5 minutes every day and work a variety of skills into their training, such as crate training, patience during meals, not snatching things, such as toys or treats, when I give it to them, settling when in the house, and I also socialize them to different sounds such as knocking on doors, babies crying, fire alarms, etc so they are set up for success no matter what happens. I want nothing but the best for my babies and I want you to know I want nothing but the best for your pets as well! My dogs have an acre of land to roam around in. They have full access to water 24/7 and get fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the late evening before the sun sets. I work on training them for a minimum of 5 minutes a day to keep their skills and learned tricks in tact and I usually take them to our nearby park to hang out and meet new people!

About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.

About: I feel that you need patience’s to take care of any pet. I treat my fur kids like they are my babies. So I will have no problem treating yours like that too. I will make sure your baby gets the attention and love they need when they are with me. I will look after them very carefully. I have been in the animal industry for about 5 years. I was a manager of a boarding kennel before I moved to Lynn Haven. So I have plenty of experience with all the furry babies. I know how scary it is to find a sitter on Rover because of all the horror stories. But I am not one of those sitter your fur babies are my top importance. I used to work for a kennel so I understand how pets can act with strangers. I currently do not have a job so I am at home with my fur babies 24/7. So I will make time to make sure I go over and spend time with your fur babies. Make sure everyone is okay & give daily updates on them. In my clients home I will make sure that every fur baby is good to go with all the essential necessities that they need. I will also be bringing along some appropriate treats just so when they see me they will be happy to see me.

About: I love theater. I love any kind of animal and I will treat them like as if they are my own. I used to have pets but they passed away recently. I’m only available to pet sit at your own place! My apartment does not allow pets. However I can pets it anywhere else. I am available in Panama City, Panama City Beach, Southport, and 30a! I also work at Panama City Toyota full time Tuesday-Friday from 10-7 and Saturdays from 8:30-6 so my availability might be limited but I always find a way to work things out! I have experience volunteering at the Humane Society of Bay County. I will make your pet a very very happy. Can’t wait to meet everyone. It gives me time to play with other pets and gives me time to learn how to deal with situations that I can absolutely learn! I do not have a fenced in area nor am I allowed to have dogs in my house so I can only petsit in your home.

About: I’m an independent pet care provider, and I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly to reflect my current availability. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities - from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. With having the opportunity to stay home, I have endless amounts of time to enjoy and care for your babies!! My schedule is very flexible for drop-ins. I offer lots of outdoor time/potty breaks and countless games of fetch or tug-of war. Depending on the client I will strictly be following the daily routine and feeding schedule!

About: Hi there! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats with all personalities, and even the occasional critters. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and genuinely passionate about keeping your furry friend happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Let’s make tails wag and whiskers purr—your pet is in good hands! :) I work part-time, and I’m a college student. My class schedule is 3pm-7pm Monday through Thursday, then will occasionally work on the weekends (not much) which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate quality time to caring for your dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can easily work around your pet’s routine. My lighter schedule allows me to be attentive, present, and reliable, making sure your pup gets the love, play, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I follow their usual routines closely—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special care instructions—so they feel secure and cared for. In my home, pets have cozy spots to relax, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want for my own, making sure their pet feels comforted by familiar surroundings. I always aim to give each pet the same love and care I’d give my own.

About: I’ve had many pet growing up and have a strong love for animals. I’ve spent time with dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, and birds. I pick up lots of freelance odd jobs and do not currently have a true sit down "job". So there will be plenty of time for taking care of your pet properly! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment that helps pets feel secure and loved while their favorite people are away. I always follow the owner’s routines and instructions carefully. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I make sure doors are locked, pets are supervised, and I give updates as needed to give you peace of mind. I also take pride in respecting your home, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. My goal is to build trust. Not just with your pet, but with you too. I know it can be hard to leave your pet behind, and scary to leave your babies in someone else's hands while you're gone. I'm reliable, detail oriented, and treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 312 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Southport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Southport. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Southport after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southport. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
