“Chelsee was such an amazing sitter taking care of my dog, Buddy! She made sure he had lots of love, cuddles, and walks. She made sure to accommodate to all of Buddy's needs and provide consistent, detailed updates with how he was every day making it so reassuring that he was being well taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Chelsee if you ever need her to care for your pets!”
“Brittany was very friendly and personable from the initial contact. She didn’t mind the one million requirements! We got a couple days to enjoy the area while Domino and Ky got a little adventure of their own. Thank u Brittany! Shirley”
“Rich and Kayla were awesome sitters. They took on the car of our 10 month old velociraptor without a second thought! Kayla sent daily updates with pictures and even gave him a bath (after he was bad and decided to they needed a hole in their backyard). 😐 Thank you again for taking such great care of Barley! He said it was just like summer camp and can’t wait to come swim again.”
“So thankful for David + Krysta. They are now our top choice when we need to leave our sweet girl behind. We were updated daily with photos and her daily events--such a breath of fresh air to be out of town and know our girl is being truly being taken care of. Poppy had a blast playing in their big backyard, making friends with their dogs, and getting all the love and playtime with their boys. Upon picking poppy up, the kids even had their friends in the neighborhood come and say bye to her because they had gotten to know her--there was something special about that! We are going out of town again in April and I'm on my way to book them again now. Poppy has found her home away from home family and we are ok with that.”
“Gabrielle goes above and beyond! Our senior pup gave her some cause for concern during his 5-night stay, and she handled him with the utmost professionalism and care and kept us abreast of the situation. I feel like she truly cares for our 2 dogs and she definitely gives them attention superior to what one would expect from a normal boarding situation. xoxo”
“Juniper had a lovely weekend while we were away and Anna sent many photos from their time together. Anna was very communicative and accommodated our drop off & pick up times.”
“This was our first time leaving our baby. From my first conversation with Rosemary and meeting Matthew at drop-off they made it so easy not to worry. I would recommend them 10times over. Thanks so much for making my vacation!”
“Katie was a great host to our boxer Lacy. Lacy was very well taken care of during our trip. We were gone 3 weeks, and never had to ask to be updated. Katie would text us how Lacy was doing, and sent both pictures/videos. This was our first Rover experience and it was great. Thank you Katie for taking care of her. We will use Katie in the future. Highly Recommend!!!!”
“Betina was amazing with my dog Griff! He’s a senior dog and needed lots of extra care during his stay and she was so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend Betina if you’re looking for quality care for your fur babies!”
“Mary is top notch! She took my sweet Zoe the week of thanksgiving when we had to leave on a last minute trip. Constantly kept me updated with photos of our sweet baby. I would recommend Mary to all my friends. Mary made me feel so comfortable. It was as if I left Zoe with family. I will absolutely be using her anytime I need a sitter in the future! Triple A score for sure!!!!”
“Pippa loves her time with Brittney! And we really appreciated this time when Pippa encountered a minor tummy problem, Brittney messaged us immediately and gave us a lot of details and feedback so we could feel ok that Pippa was fine and that Brittney was on top of everything!”
“Thank you so much!! We had a quick trip planned and Kyasia was able to help us out when our daycare in Pensacola couldn’t take our dog Nova. 11/10 recommend! Would have her watch Nova again. 😊 She even sent us a picture to show us how much fun Nova was having!”
“Excellent experience in every way! Definitely recommend!!! This was my first time using Rover to keep our 5 year old cockapoo Blue- I found myself in need of a sitter and we did not want to use a kennel - we wanted him to stay in a peaceful, safe- home environment. My neighbor recommended Rover services. I selected Carla based on her reviews and pics. She was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable in caring for pets. She had a large well- fenced in back yard as well as being very accommodating / organized to pets inside her home. Carla communicated with us throughout with pics and updates which was really nice and made us feel comfortable. Smooth and easy process from booking, drop off, and pick up. Blue was well cared for and I could tell in his pictures that he was very happy. Thank you Carla and Aiden for making Blue’s stay so wonderful and taking such excellent care of him!”
“Always takes the best care of our Sophie!! So sweet and loving to our pup, and considerate of us with her daily updates and being flexible when our plans had a major hiccup coming home. Would recommend to any/everyone!”
“Absolutely wonderful! He gave me at least one daily update without prompt! He made the first experience with the app the best and will definitely continue to use him! 10 out of 10. Much better than doggie daycare.”

“Britteny did a great job with my cat Joker. She sent pictures every day while she was here. Even made sure she turned on the heat and left the water running during that cold snap so the pipes didn't freeze. I'll certainly contact her in the future.”
“Lori was fantastic with our puppies. Two 5 year old Labs. They loved her. We have never had a sitter and Lori was great! We had her come to our home twice a day for 5 days. She always showed up. Sending us pics helped so much. Thank you Lori and Rover!!”

We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be taking her back to spend the day with Brittney again soon!”

About: I grew up with our K-9 police dogs at home and have been dog sitting for military families in Germany, New Mexico and Florida for 5 years. I‘m a stay at home wife with 2 dogs and no children. Unfortunately not able to watch any cats due to me being allergic to cats. Also not able to watch dogs that aren’t potty trained due to carpet floors. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have crates available if needed and lots of toys and treats.
About: Our place or yours? We live in a 3/2 home.. Our back yard is fenced in and secure. We do have two doggies that love other dogs. I can come to your home also. This is all I do now, and I love it! I previously worked 5 1/2 years at a local animal hospital. I have been working with Rover 8 years and I love it! My husband is a sergeant at a local prison. Several local families I have pet sat for, for almost 11 years. I can come over and walk your dog(gies) each day, or check on them several times a day. Our pets are family members. We have two children that love animals as well. If you choose us, your kids will be treated with the love and fun they deserve. I have given medicine,diabetes shots, accommodated special needs doggies and special diets. If your baby needs their own space we have an empty room they can make their own sanctuary. I was a member of AmeriCorps for two years, here in Okaloosa county. They taught me more about helping local children and other local charities. Now, my only job is pet care. I do go to a few people's houses and let their animals out, play with them during the day. Other than that, I am home with my family and the pets. I try not to have too early drop offs or too late pick ups, as not to disturb our neighbors. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. If your dog needs to be crated we can do that also. Pet Care is my full-time job. I board dogs out of my home, it's like they are part of my family. I also go to other people's houses and walk dogs to check on their pets. I have three fenced in yards two are dedicated to pet sitting. Most of the fences are new and they are all secure. My two sons definitely help with my pet sitting business.
“Carla is wonderful. I’m in from out of town and have a younger dog. She was up for the energy, and has a beautiful home and fenced in backyard. She has two older dogs of her own and her son is so sweet and tender with the dogs. She sent photos through the day, and kept my boy happy and out of trouble! This was my first rover experience and Carla has made me a believer. She put me at ease and showed me where my boy would be in her home, and asked questions I didn’t think to add in my “new mom overshare”. Truly cannot say enough.”

“Josie was amazing, I needed a last minute sitter/walker due to my other one not working out and Josie was right there when needed! Atticus loved being with her. I would definitely recommend Josie and I will be continuing with her!”
“Kelly handled my dog Stella amazingly. I live in a very dog heavy neighborhood and I adopted a senior German Shepherd with dog on dog reactivity due to early trauma in life. Kelly took my dog on a nice long walk for an hour and Stella was tired when I got home which made me so happy. I could definitely tell Stella loves Kelly. She even had her favorite ball in her mouth in the picture that Kelly sent me. Stella won’t even bring over her favorite ball to my parents so I definitely will be rebooking her again. I would highly recommend Kelly for anyone’s dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 13 years old. Neighbors, family and friends relied on me to watch their dogs while out of town and walk , feed and bathe their dogs. I’m currently working part time and lll have plenty of time to walk, feed and play with your pets. I’m available all weekends also to play, feed and bathe your pets. I’m more than willing to go to your house every 2 hours to walk and play and feed your pets. I’ll walk them around the block and let them play outside to get exercise.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on pet care experience from volunteering at Alaqua Animal Refuge. Over the past few years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even bunnies, learning how to meet the needs of many different personalities and breeds. I’ve also been dog sitting and house sitting for the past year and a half, and I’m always excited to learn more and give every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve! I currently have a job, but I always plan ahead and am happy to work around my schedule to meet the needs of your pets, being out of school I am more open . I value clear communication and will always be open and upfront to make sure everything is scheduled smoothly and your animals get the care they deserve. Please don't be shy to send different requests like helping out while you're on vacation with drop in's/ walks . I'm happy to help where I can when I can and don't be shy to send last minute request and I'll make it happen if possible!! Whether in my home but preferably in their environment, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I focus on building trust through patience, routine, and attentive care, treating every animal like my own.
About: I’m an animal lover so I have decided to do a job that involves me doing something I love. I’m currently in college to a marine biologist then to become a vet. I have been surrounded by pets growing up and I love it. I’m available anytime also I always update my calendar so you will be able to see when I’m available but please feel free to message me if you have questions. I have a dachshund she is alittle over a year old and a cat. If I can I would like to dog sit at my house so I can also attend to my dog but it is whatever you are comfortable is.
About: I have had family pets ever since I was little. I love being surrounded by animals and it is my goal to become a veterinarian. I have a passion for taking care of animals and giving them the love they deserve. I am currently living on a farm in Ponce De Leon FL and care for pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, and guinea fowl along with two dogs and a barn cat. I am an Air Force veteran and currently classes at UWF for a bachelors degree in biology. I am able to do drop in visits at pet homes as well as overnight stays. My current class schedule is all day Tuesdays, half days Wed-Fri and fully available on Mondays. Over the summer I will be taking some classes but most will be online and the only days unavailable will be Tuesday and Thursday. I ensure that when letting pets out, I stay with them and have eyes on them. I value the safety and security of every dog I watch over. I currently live on a farm type property that is approximately 20 acres. It is partially fenced in but our dogs have become accustomed to staying within the property limits. To ensure dog safety I will always be outside with the animals. We also have a multitude of farm animals such as donkeys, chickens, Guinea fowl, turkeys, pigs, and sheep. The birds have free range of the property but the pigs and sheep are in a fenced in area.

“Chelsee was such an amazing sitter taking care of my dog, Buddy! She made sure he had lots of love, cuddles, and walks. She made sure to accommodate to all of Buddy's needs and provide consistent, detailed updates with how he was every day making it so reassuring that he was being well taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Chelsee if you ever need her to care for your pets!”
“Brittany was very friendly and personable from the initial contact. She didn’t mind the one million requirements! We got a couple days to enjoy the area while Domino and Ky got a little adventure of their own. Thank u Brittany! Shirley”
“Rich and Kayla were awesome sitters. They took on the car of our 10 month old velociraptor without a second thought! Kayla sent daily updates with pictures and even gave him a bath (after he was bad and decided to they needed a hole in their backyard). 😐 Thank you again for taking such great care of Barley! He said it was just like summer camp and can’t wait to come swim again.”
“So thankful for David + Krysta. They are now our top choice when we need to leave our sweet girl behind. We were updated daily with photos and her daily events--such a breath of fresh air to be out of town and know our girl is being truly being taken care of. Poppy had a blast playing in their big backyard, making friends with their dogs, and getting all the love and playtime with their boys. Upon picking poppy up, the kids even had their friends in the neighborhood come and say bye to her because they had gotten to know her--there was something special about that! We are going out of town again in April and I'm on my way to book them again now. Poppy has found her home away from home family and we are ok with that.”
“Katie was a great host to our boxer Lacy. Lacy was very well taken care of during our trip. We were gone 3 weeks, and never had to ask to be updated. Katie would text us how Lacy was doing, and sent both pictures/videos. This was our first Rover experience and it was great. Thank you Katie for taking care of her. We will use Katie in the future. Highly Recommend!!!!”
“Betina was amazing with my dog Griff! He’s a senior dog and needed lots of extra care during his stay and she was so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend Betina if you’re looking for quality care for your fur babies!”
“Mary is top notch! She took my sweet Zoe the week of thanksgiving when we had to leave on a last minute trip. Constantly kept me updated with photos of our sweet baby. I would recommend Mary to all my friends. Mary made me feel so comfortable. It was as if I left Zoe with family. I will absolutely be using her anytime I need a sitter in the future! Triple A score for sure!!!!”
“Pippa loves her time with Brittney! And we really appreciated this time when Pippa encountered a minor tummy problem, Brittney messaged us immediately and gave us a lot of details and feedback so we could feel ok that Pippa was fine and that Brittney was on top of everything!”
“Thank you so much!! We had a quick trip planned and Kyasia was able to help us out when our daycare in Pensacola couldn’t take our dog Nova. 11/10 recommend! Would have her watch Nova again. 😊 She even sent us a picture to show us how much fun Nova was having!”
“Always takes the best care of our Sophie!! So sweet and loving to our pup, and considerate of us with her daily updates and being flexible when our plans had a major hiccup coming home. Would recommend to any/everyone!”
“Absolutely wonderful! He gave me at least one daily update without prompt! He made the first experience with the app the best and will definitely continue to use him! 10 out of 10. Much better than doggie daycare.”

“Allison was the best sitter that I could have ever asked for! She communicated with me everyday, multiple times a day with updates. My pup was almost sad to leave her house! I would recommend her 100 times over to anyone and will definitely be using her again if I need boarding or sitting. Thank you again, Allison!”
“Sariah replies promptly to communication and took great care of our Marty. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs! Sariah was also great about sending photos and videos of Marty during his stay so that I knew he was having a great time. I would book with Sariah again in a heartbeat! (And I’m pretty sure Marty would go play at her house every day if he could).”
“Tatiana was absolutely amazing to our little fur baby!! She constantly kept my husband and I updated with lots of pictures which gave us a calm state of mind while we were away!! She was so sweet, caring, and loved having our puppy keep her two puppies company!! I highly recommend booking her for boarding! You will not be disappointed! Thanks so much Tatiana! The Barnes family really appreciate you!”
