Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alys Beach
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Alys Beach
“During my stay in the Panhandle, I quickly realized many of the beaches were not pet friendly, so I was in need of a last minute sitter for my pup Sammi. Sammi originally stayed with Aurora for 2 nights, but she had such a great time that I allowed her to go back for a third 🙂 Aurora does an exceptional job of making sure your pup is comfortable in her home. She takes special note of the things they enjoy, their triggers/traumas…and operates accordingly. Not to mention, she takes the most stunning photos of your dog and sends multiple updates throughout the day, so you aren’t left to wonder how they are doing. Sammi came home happy and slept like baby on our 8 hour road trip to South Carolina after her stay. It’s safe to say, Aurora will be my go to sitter anytime I am in the area. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Barb was absolutely a wonderful dog sitter! Our Labradoodle Ziggi was well taken care of and had a great time with her. Barb was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She kept us informed daily with pictures about how Ziggi was doing. We had an unexpected family emergency and had to fly out on Thanksgiving day which was already stressful and Barb made it so much easier and was very accommodating. Knowing that Ziggi would be taken care of took a lot of stress away from our trip. We would definitely use Barb again to dog sit Ziggi.”
“Valerie watched our little Winston over the long holiday weekend. We had a wonderful experience and Winston was very well cared for. Valerie sent us photos and updated each day. Winston enjoyed the playmates and the big back yard. He came home pampered and happy. We will not hesitate to use Valerie again, she is great with the pups.”
“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!”
“Gabriella was absolutely amazing! She responded fast when I asked for help with my pet. She explained everything so clearly and I knew I had nothing to worry about with Cuddles. She sente several pictures everyday!”
“We are so glad we found Ashton! Our German shepherd loves staying at her house and is always excited for drop off. We appreciate you so much for taking great care of our big baby 💜”
“Heather took great care of Charley and communicated with us everyday. Our dog is anxious but Heather was sweet and patient with her and won her over within 24 hours. Charley is a little older and her home was a great environment for her. We will definitely use her again.”
“Such a great experience! We hadn't boarded our doggo since 2019 and Alexandra made it such a wonderful experience for us and our Sophie. Daily pictures and checkins, and even sent her home with her handwashed food bowl. Will absolutely use again!”
“Tracey was our knight in shining armor for this trip. Our regular sitter at home backed out last minute and we had to bring our dog with us on vacation to a facility that didn’t allow pets. I was a wreck trying to figure out how to navigate the situation when I found Tracey who was only 5 mins away. She graciously took our Sophia in, who had never been away from us before, despite her being very nervous. I was also not 100% sure about the potty training situation since she had not stayed anywhere away from home before, but Tracey reassured me that it would be fine and took her in so we could enjoy our trip; mostly stress free. I was also a little apprehensive as well as my little girl and she sent us pictures and updates so we could have peace of mind during her stay. Sophia seemed to warm up to her quickly which was also reassuring. So grateful we had this option.”
“Lina was amazing! She and her sweet family took great care of our Yorkie while we were at the beach! We were updated regularly with photos and videos. She even bathed our Kiwi and put little pink pig tails in her hair before we picked her up.”
About: I have trained hunting dogs for 3 years, and love working with their patience. They are a part of our life we are their whole life, I love making everyday count with all pups I am very flexible! I live in the Inlet beach area on 30A. I currently work from home so I have lots of extra time on my hands right now. I own a townhome right which is a great size. When other pups are in our home they are just like family as well! We have 2 small dogs that both get alone with other dogs and love to play.
“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%!”

“Brittney was terrific watching our dog. She always responded in a timely manner, was completely flexible to any requests/concerns we had, and provided us regular photos and feedback of the visit. Our dog is fairly anxious and doesn't spend much time alone. Leaving him at a traditional boarding kennel causes a lot of stress on all of us. Brittney did great watching him, and he seemed to be very comfortable with her. We had a terrific vacation knowing he was in good hands while were at the beach. I would absolutely recommend her services.”
“We are so happy to have hired Amanda to watch our precious 1yo cockapoo, Obie. Amanda was great about keeping me updated on how Obie was doing. Our family really appreciated that! We also loved that Amanda’s home had a fenced in backyard our little guy could roam around and play in. It was such a comfort to know he was in good and kind hands while we were away on a short break. Highly recommend Amanda! Hope to use her services again when we visit the area.”
“David and Krysta were fantastic. They have a wonderful family and my dog felt comfortable almost immediately after I dropped her off. David kept me informed, on the daily activities, sent me pictures, and provided behavioral updates. David and Krystal responded promptly adjusting to me very short notice request to drop off Bree and when I arrived ahead of schedule to pick her up. I would highly recommend this family if you need assistance in caring for your love ones. Truly thankful for this experience as it was my first but will not be my last.”
“Lan did an amazing job with Zola, I felt bad taking Zola home as she was having such a great time, I will 100% be going back whenever I can in the future.”
“So glad to have found Kate! She took great care of my Yorkie while I was away. I can always tell when my baby girl had a good experience. She was playful and happy when she got home. Will definitely use her services again!”

“Darlene was great. She really went above and beyond for my Thelma when an issue arose. She was responsive and very reliable. I had peace of mind when I was out of town. Thank you for taking such good care of my Thelms!”
“Katrina was wonderful with my kitty cat Thelma. I was nervous about leaving for a week, but she provided me with such a peace of mind. She was prompt with her responses, took pictures of Thelma (which isn’t too easy because she’s incredibly shy and introverted), and gave me thorough updates. I highly recommend Katrina. I will only use her in the future. If she will have us!”
“Aurora’s visits for our cat Tuuka were very much appreciated and reassuring while we were away! We received a photo each visit which helped us know Tuuka was doing well and when we got home Tuuka was so loving toward us-we appreciate Aurora tremendously!”
“We were very happy with having Haley check in each day for Rhino and Rebel. It was reassuring to know our kitties were in good hands and safe while we were away from home.”

About: I’ve always had a family pet and even worked at a dog daycare through college. I’m now a nurse and enjoy being with animals during my free time. I recently moved to Florida as of this summer and I love it. I have two of my own dogs, and would love to get to know yours! I work part time Monday - Wednesday. Typically the rest of the week is free and even some of my work afternoons are available. I am very flexible. I live in an apartment complex now so I’d prefer to walk and exercise your dog in your neighborhood/home. I do have access to two large dog parks if they are dog friendly.
About: My undergraduate studies in Animal Cognition first brought me to Florida six years ago. I instantly fell in love with the sand, sun, and ability to truly live an outdoor lifestyle. And, it only gets better now that I get to share all these beautiful things with my rescued GSP pup! I have dedicated my professional career to studying the behavior of animals, whether it's marine mammals, horses, or our beloved canine companions. I have recently found myself returning to my passion for dog training and personalizing everyday routines to best suit my clients. Just like many of us paw parents, our pets equally benefit from consistency and familiar support. Taking this extra step to understand your pet's day-to-day routine and specific needs is how I plan to ease you both while you enjoy your time away. Don't worry, we plan on enjoying our time together too as we play, snuggle, and maybe sneak an extra treat or two! Just like you would if you were home 😉 PLEASE NOTE: *A scheduled MEET & GREET with your pet(s) will be REQUIRED prior to finalizing any services. *I have a FULL-TIME job and cannot guarantee midday potty breaks for most bookings. *I currently DO NOT offer boarding or daycare services. I am currently employed FULL-TIME during the weekdays. I am most available to help in the early mornings, evenings, and for overnight stays. Depending on the location of your residence, midday potty breaks may be feasible. I can always provide personal recommendations for daytime sitters/walkers upon request! I DO NOT offer boarding in my home at this time! My rescue pup is focusing on building his confidence, but continues to make friends everywhere we go. I hope to offer in-house boarding services soon. When applicable, vaccination records and references will be required upon booking.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alys Beach
“Aurora was awesome! We didn’t worry about our two boys at all with her watching them while we went snorkeling. 1. She came to pick up our boys at 7am at our hotel. She was on time even though it was really early. She even had an impact crate in her car in case of bad/crazy drivers. 2. She sent us very detailed updates including pictures, number of water breaks, and potty breaks. 3. She brought our boys back to the hotel twice! We missed her the first time, our fault, but she was super sweet about it. 4. Our boys came back looking happy and tired! Their step counter logged crazy numbers! Thank you Aurora! Maybe we will see you again one day!”
“Daniela was wonderful with our shy and timid pup. She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the day that really put us at ease. She was also very understanding when I had train trouble and was late picking him up. Our pup is looking forward to his next visit with Daniela!”
“Barb was very kind loving with Roan and sent follow up pictures a few hours into day care with updates on how she was doing. I’d feel very comfortable with Roan in Barbs hands!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have never lived without a dog. They are family to me. They are indoor pets allowed on the furniture. I have showed dogs in confirmation, Rally and obedience. I am retired from the medical field and work from home. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets with walks and cuddles I offer a free met and greet with every pet owner. I find it important to establish a rapport with the owner and the pet. For home stays in your home, I don't just feed, walk and play with your pet, but bring in any packages that may have been left on the porch, take out the trash and recyclables and alternate lights.
“I highly recommend Valerie. This was my first time using Rover and was apprehensive about leaving our fur baby with someone I didn't know. Not only did she take wonderful care of Brea but she sent multiple pictures showing us how her day was going. When you meet Valerie you can see how passionate she is with the animals she cares for. Valerie is very welcoming, and after meeting her you will feel like shes a good friend you have had most of your life.”

“So amazing and accommodating! What a blessing!! I attempted to find a doggy day care at the very last minute and Kristy amazingly came thru. I recommend, 10/10 ! THANK YOU!”
“Haley (and Brady) are fantastic pet sitters! It was clear that they really love pets from our video meet and greet. They seemed genuinely excited to care for my 11mo pup despite her quirks! Haley and Brady were prompt, responsible, flexible, and excellent communicators making it super easy to fit my varying schedule! Both days my pup came home happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing. On day two, Poppi was overjoyed to see them both proving she had indeed been in loving hands! We were in the Panama City area for a quick trip, but I am hopeful my pup will have the opportunity to visit again soon! Haley (and Brady) will definitely be my top pet care choice when we’re back in town! Thank you, both!”
“We brought our 6 month old puppy to the beach with us and she barked like crazy in her kennel. I reached out to Lucia on Rover and she was quick to respond. She kept our girl (Harper) for us at her house while we enjoyed a beach day. I know Harper enjoyed her time with Lucia and we are so so thankful for her! I could tell within 2 minutes of meeting her she was a safe space for our dog and I was able to enjoy the beach knowing Harper was in the best hands!! We will be using her every summer!”

Thank you.”

About: I'm just a big kid when it comes to dogs. I love dogs regardless of age, size, or breed. And they love me! Gentle enough to coax skiddish dogs into baths but still wild enough to run with them in the open fields. The only knock on me is I have trouble being firm because they melt my heart so much. I work full-time but I'm off 3 days a week; when I do work I don't start until 2pm, so scheduling will not be a problem. Dogs always gravitate to me and I to them. I believe they feel a safety and trust by nature; they are excellent judges of character.

“During my stay in the Panhandle, I quickly realized many of the beaches were not pet friendly, so I was in need of a last minute sitter for my pup Sammi. Sammi originally stayed with Aurora for 2 nights, but she had such a great time that I allowed her to go back for a third 🙂 Aurora does an exceptional job of making sure your pup is comfortable in her home. She takes special note of the things they enjoy, their triggers/traumas…and operates accordingly. Not to mention, she takes the most stunning photos of your dog and sends multiple updates throughout the day, so you aren’t left to wonder how they are doing. Sammi came home happy and slept like baby on our 8 hour road trip to South Carolina after her stay. It’s safe to say, Aurora will be my go to sitter anytime I am in the area. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“We are so glad we found Ashton! Our German shepherd loves staying at her house and is always excited for drop off. We appreciate you so much for taking great care of our big baby 💜”
“Heather took great care of Charley and communicated with us everyday. Our dog is anxious but Heather was sweet and patient with her and won her over within 24 hours. Charley is a little older and her home was a great environment for her. We will definitely use her again.”
“Such a great experience! We hadn't boarded our doggo since 2019 and Alexandra made it such a wonderful experience for us and our Sophie. Daily pictures and checkins, and even sent her home with her handwashed food bowl. Will absolutely use again!”
“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%!”

“Brittney was terrific watching our dog. She always responded in a timely manner, was completely flexible to any requests/concerns we had, and provided us regular photos and feedback of the visit. Our dog is fairly anxious and doesn't spend much time alone. Leaving him at a traditional boarding kennel causes a lot of stress on all of us. Brittney did great watching him, and he seemed to be very comfortable with her. We had a terrific vacation knowing he was in good hands while were at the beach. I would absolutely recommend her services.”
“We are so happy to have hired Amanda to watch our precious 1yo cockapoo, Obie. Amanda was great about keeping me updated on how Obie was doing. Our family really appreciated that! We also loved that Amanda’s home had a fenced in backyard our little guy could roam around and play in. It was such a comfort to know he was in good and kind hands while we were away on a short break. Highly recommend Amanda! Hope to use her services again when we visit the area.”
“David and Krysta were fantastic. They have a wonderful family and my dog felt comfortable almost immediately after I dropped her off. David kept me informed, on the daily activities, sent me pictures, and provided behavioral updates. David and Krystal responded promptly adjusting to me very short notice request to drop off Bree and when I arrived ahead of schedule to pick her up. I would highly recommend this family if you need assistance in caring for your love ones. Truly thankful for this experience as it was my first but will not be my last.”
“Lan did an amazing job with Zola, I felt bad taking Zola home as she was having such a great time, I will 100% be going back whenever I can in the future.”
About: I have cared for and trained my dog, my mother’s and grandmother’s dogs. I have also provided a variety of personal home-care services to senior citizens, special needs children & nannied off and on throughout my early adult life. I love caring for and helping others. I substitute teach during the school year and I would love to care for pets during the summer time! It is my goal to at least work part time on top of another part time job! :) I have an apartment where I can keep pets for a short amount of time; we have a nice walking area and a dog park.
“I would give Chris and his wife a million stars if I could!!! They were amazing,caring,and treated our 2 golden retrievers like their own. My husband and I love Destin and would go as often as we could,but have always been worried about leaving our boys with someone and do not trust leaving them in a hotel alone and someone possibly taking them. After the experience with Chris and his wife,Destin is going to be seeing a lot of us as long as Chris has availability :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!”
“Cranesha was the best! This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone that wasn’t family and she made me feel so good to leave him with her! She sent updates and pictures everyday! Mako seemed so happy when he came home!”
“Barbara was an excellent caregiver for my baby, Cody. We both learned that Cody has separation anxiety as he is never away from his family. Barbara worked through it and made the environment comfortable for him as she could see he was stressed out and depressed. She sent messages, pics and videos to ease my mind. Barbara is amazing and should be commended for her patience with our babies.”
“What a lovely family that cared for my Pug. First time she has stayed at their pet friendly “resort”, but she came back happy! Andrew was very accommodating to my needs for dates and Cassy’s medical needs. I would confidently refer this pet sitter and his family?”
“Alissa is fantastic. She took very good care of our little chihuahua Lilo. I loved getting the picture updates and communication was top notch. She got back to me very quickly on every text or message I sent. Her house is pet friendly in a great location. Lilo doesn't like most people. She seemed to bond with Alissa, which is saying something about her. It tells me, she is kind, loving and trustworthy. Which I'd the only way to get Lilo to like you. I would not hesitate to use her pet sitting services again, and would highly recommend her as the perfect fit for taking care of any dog. Thank you Alissa for taking such good care of little Lilo!! AAAA++++”
“Haley was wonderful! She was so easy to communicate with and very much responsible and reliable. It was very assuring knowing Rosie was in good hands. I'm sure Rosie had a blast.”
“Jack and Jordan took wonderful care of our two Cavaliers. Their home and yard are very dog friendly. They sent us pictures daily and responded to texts immediately. We will definitely be back next time we’re nearby. Thanks to Jack, Jordan and the kids and dogs for a great stay.”
