“Had a great experience! They even spoiled Zoe by letting her sleep with them…she doesn’t even get that treatment at HOME! She was very willing to let us see her home and did an introduction visit before Zoe’s first stay. I would definitely book with her again. She’s got a great set up for dogs at her home!”
About: Lifelong owner - Great Dane, Pit-bull, Puggle, German Shepherd + cats. I grew up with a Great Dane (gentle giants + large breed care), a Pit-bull (high energy, strong, total love bug – Big on positive reinforcement), a Puggle (small dog sass + sniffy walks), and cats, so I’m comfortable with any size, breed or personality. I currently have a German Shepherd, who is friendly, social, and great with other dogs. He’s up-to-date on vaccines and loves having playmates. Your dog will get a built-in buddy for supervised play in our big fenced backyard, but I always do slow introductions and can keep them separate if needed for meals/naps. If your dog refers people only, just let me know and I’ll manage it. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 – boarding, daycare, walks, droppings, puppies to seniors. Very comfortable with basic training: sit, stay, crate, training, potty training, leash, manners, no jumping, and sticking to your routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home all day. Dogs here get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in the backyard, lots of exercise, photo updates, and never left alone for long. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so pet care is my full daily routine and I’m home 24/7. Dogs get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in our big fenced backyard, morning and afternoon play sessions, walks, training practice, and lots of cuddles. I have a friendly German Shepherd who loves play buddies, and we spend most of the day outside. Available for boarding and daycare 7 days a week, including holidays. Safety is my top priority. Big fully fenced backyard with supervised play only – dogs are never outside alone. Small, clean, dog-proofed home, dogs never left alone long. Slow introductions with my friendly German Shepherd, separate feeding/sleeping if needed. Daily photo and video updates, I follow your feeding and crate routine exactly, and happy to do Meet and Greets first. I believe pets are just people with fur ❤️
“Great experience! Jessie took wonderful care of our two dogs, gave one her medication as needed, and made sure they had plenty of time to play. We really appreciated the daily updates while we were away. We couldn’t be happier!”
About: My name is Alexandria, and I absolutely love all the pups! I would love to care for your fur baby and get all the cuddles while you enjoy your time away! I’ve got 8+ years experience being a kennel tech and would be better accommodated if I could do it remotely. I haven’t met an animal yet that I didn’t love caring for! I work for Bay District Schools so I am off for the summer and have plenty of free time and am accommodated to sit small breed dogs. I have a 3 month old miniature schnauzer and a 5 month old plott hound beagle mix that are the light of my life aside from being a mom! I sit for family and friends but am looking to expand. I can care for pets in-home, and can be available for house visits. I’m very experienced in nail trimming and bathing. I do not offer grooming services but will if necessary.
“GREAT SITTER!!! Absolutely amazing. My pup is super anxious and I could tell he felt right at home. I’m so grateful!! We had some challenges on the trip away and she was so patient with me. I have so much appreciation”
“From the meet and greet to the end of her stay Athena enjoyed herself. Brittany provided a safe clean and loving environment and I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service. She sent plenty of pictures during Athena’s stay and she communicated every step of the way. I will definitely be booking with her again”
“Reya is amazing! I left my dog with her for 2 weeks, and I have never felt so reassured and comfortable. This isn't something I've done often and was so hard for me to leave Woody for 2 weeks, but Reya was so patient and it was so obvious she cared. Will 100% book with her again and recommend her to anyone who wants a trusted and caring person to look after their dog.”
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.
“Jackie was such a great sitter for our Goldendoodle puppy! She kept in close contact with us and gave us updates throughout our dog's stay. We felt comfort knowing that our lil pup was in good hands. I would recommend Jackie 100%!”
“Amber was absolutely AMAZING! I can't leave enough stars! She sent me pictures daily and she was very accommodating and made Ace’s stay absolutely wonderful and worry-free for me. I highly recommend her.”
“Barb was great with my Shih Tzu, Burke. She kept me updated a few times a day with pics and a video. She treated Burke as part of her family and made him feel at home. He came home very happy and healthy!”
“Thank you to Lesta! Our minds were at ease leaving our 2 doods while we went on vacation. She sent me updates and pictures which were greatly appreciated. Crush and Marlin had a blast playing in her huge backyard and with her doggo!”
“Tami is awesome. Out three dogs love going to see her. She is welcoming and loving to the dogs. They have no apprehension and know that they will be well taken care of. She is so accommodating and gentle with the dogs. She will always get our first call when we need a sitter. Wonderful!”
“We are so grateful to have had Heather watch Rex while we were on vacation. She was so sweet and sent us pictures everyday. The whole family loved on him and he was well taken care of. He even barked and tried to go back in her house when we came to pick him up! 😂”

There are 159 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Southport. About 87% of Southport sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
