“Erik took such great care of my dog! He sent pictures and updates everyday. He took my dog on many walks/runs! I would highly recommend Erik to anyone that is visiting the Emerald Coast area and is in need of dog care!”
“David and Krysta were so sweet to our Cooper! Communication and photos while we were away were an added bonus! We highly recommend and will plan to use them again if we are in the area!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Dakota was great! She was very patient with my anxious pup who had some trouble adjusting in the beginning. She communicated often and was able to accommodate my dogs needs even on a rainy day. And her pup Leo is a super sweet boy!”
“Ana was amazing with my German Shepherd Harper. I hope she is available next time I'm in the area. I know harp had a great time and she kept my updated with pictures without me asking”
“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“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!”
“Naomi is very caring with all her animals. She always sends updates with pictures and my little dog always looks so happy and comfortable in her home. I never worry while I am away and Jack is with Naomi because I know he is in good hands.”
“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!!!!!!!!!!”
“Jessica is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had for Callie! Her personal care, excellent communication, and caring heart made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. Callie absolutely loves her, and I appreciate Jessica’s constant updates. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a trusted sitter!”
“Pepper clearly had a wonderful time with Dakota's family. Lots of play time with other dogs, lots of cuddle time with her children, and lots of attention. Pepper was also the model for a great drawing from Dakota's daughter, and that drawing now is posted on my refrigerator! During the recent snowstorm, a rarity in this part of Arkansas, Pepper enjoyed the experience with Dakota's family her dogs.Will certainly bring her back for another visit when it's time!”
“Gravy the mutt came home happy and well loved. He has only been elsewhere three times in his almost three years of age. One of those times he came home piddling on everything and we haven’t let him elsewhere until now. Erika and Jason did a phenomenal job of treating him like family and we are so very thankful. Highly recommend and will use again 💕💕💕”
“Alexandra and crew (people, cats and a dog) were so welcoming that our two aussies were soon happy with their doggie vacation. They had very much built-in play time with the resident dog, and bonded with humans and animals alike in ways we'd not heard of from new contacts since Misty was a puppy (seriously, the pics and descriptions indicated a level of ease, happiness and playfulness we see with them at home). At pick-up time, they were glad to have us visit, but didn't seem completely ready to leave, We cannot imagine a better experience for our pups. If we manage to come to Miramar Beach again, we will definitely try Alexandra again.”
“I'm so grateful for Nichole and her family taking care of my baby and accepting him on a short notice. He felt right at home. This is the first time I used Rover, and I couldn't have felt more comfortable leaving him with her. The messages of updates and photos or videos were also a wonderful touch, knowing he was well taken care of.”
“I rarely need a pupsitter, and have a difficult time feeling comfortable with leaving our old girl, Cherry, with someone that she's not familiar with. Gabriella welcomed my husband, Cherry, and me into her home a couple of weeks before the scheduled stay and was so patient with us and open to learning about Cherry. For the actual pupsitting (Saturday/Sunday/Monday), the drop-off was seamless and communication throughout Cherry's stay was fantastic! I received many pupdates with videos and pictures. Our girl was treated like one of the family there, which we really appreciate. I recommend Gabriella (and family) for a top-notch loving environment for boarding. We will definitely reach out to her for any future boarding needs.”

“What a wonderful experience! Kristin Lynn always takes such good care of my cat and sends great photos. She’s communicative and super punctual, and I know my cat is safe with her. He even gets on her lap which is something that usually takes a while for him! Would recommend without hesitation.”
“Christine was terrific with my shy kitties— they warmed right up to her! She was easy to communicate and book with, and reliable. Will definitely book her again!”
“Margaret was great with taking care of my cat while I was out of town and giving him his shots daily. I highly recommend her for help with your fuzzy loved ones.”
“Staci was so wonderful and caring. She was very patient with one of my very shy cats and my not-so-shy boys really loved her. Definitely recommend her to care for your furry friends”
“McKayla was OUTSTANDING!! I had a last minute cancellation with a sitter, and she was able to make it work for us. I got lots of pictures and my girls looked so happy. Even my dog Keera, who doesn’t do well with strangers, loved her. I hope I get to work with her again.”
About: I have had many dogs and cats over the years, starting in early childhood. They have always been a source of joy and companionship to me, true family members. I have had and trained many puppies and I am aware of the importance of good crate training and schedules! I am also versed in special needs dogs that have limited mobility and medical needs. It has been many years since I have had cats (ex husband had allergies) but they are truly amazing creatures. You always feels so honored to be given their attention! I have also had guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, birds and a horse. I am currently working part time and have lots of flexibility in timing. I am usually an early bird and don't mind visits that are earlier in the day. I do normally turn in early but can make adjustments as needed with advance planning. My typical visit includes lots and lots of attention after meeting basic toileting needs. We go outside, sniff, play catch, get lots of pets. I will make sure that food and water is available unless otherwise directed. I clean up any accidents that may have occurred. I try to make sure the dog/cat has toys or enrichment available to entertain them until their parents come home. If needed, I can pick up mail or packages and bring them inside.
“Barbara did a great job caring for our two cats while we were away! She kept us informed and went above and beyond to spend extra time with them. She is a true animal lover and a very sweet person. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had a Cavalier King Charles for my whole life, the first one for 13 years and now my own for a year. He is my world and he gets along great with all dogs no matter size or age. I care for other dogs as if they’re my own and will always keep owners updated with pictures and/or text messages!! I have experience with giving meds, making food, feeding schedules, walking, potty breaks, etc. Let me watch your furry ones!! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday from 7am-2pm and sometimes earlier, so weekends work better for boarding, however i’m willing to make it work. I can always pop in to walk your pup or take them out, or have them in my house! Up to you. I let my dog roam throughout the day and he does great. I always turn on a show for him:)) I have a fenced in backyard and take my dog for a walk everyday. I love taking him to the dog park as well and he would love to have a friend in the home, or I can come to yours and take care of them there!
About: I have always grown up around pets, especially cats and dogs. I currently have 2 dogs at home that stay with my mom when I’m on the road. My Nan also has 8 cats just down the street from me, and I see them almost every day when I’m in town. I really love spending time with cats whenever I’m traveling. It gives me a sense of home and comfort, even when I’m far away from my own pets. I always enjoy the chance to cat-sit for friends and family whenever I can, no matter where I am in the world.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was in high school. And for the past ten years since. I have experience with puppies and kittens, older cats and dogs and am open and happy to spend time with your furry family member :) I work from home and spend most of my day with my 4 year old corgi. I can easily come for a walk, check in, or have your animal join me for the day! I have a fenced in backyard and work from home. I live next to a lively walking trail and have a safe space for your animal.
“She’s always been so flexible! Our pup loves her and her drop in visits and we do too! I feel so much better at work knowing he has her checking in on him. She’s always been so helpful!”
About: I had cats my whole childhood and well into my adult life. At one time I had 6 cats. They always seemed to find me when they needed someone to love them and take care of them…one that found me was pregnant, so I had a lot of little kitties at that time. I have cared for and rescued cats my whole life. I simply do not have them in my home because of my allergies, BUT I still love being around them. Rover allows me to get my kitty lovin fix without having to live on allergy meds daily. I promise to love and care for your kitty as he/she are my own.
“Sharen is awesome! She took amazing care of my 2 cats at my house while I was out of town. She checked on them twice a day and sent detailed updates after each visit. I highly recommend her and will be using her again for an upcoming vacation. Thanks, Sharen!!!!”
“Perfect! Very prompt, great communication, very compassionate, and took excellent care of Millie. I hope she’s available next time I need her. Thank you for taking such good care of her so I didn’t have to worry.”
About: I have pet sat almost every summer since I was 13 years old. A mix of caring for my own dogs as well as family friends and coworkers furry friends. I've always had an affinity to animals and I am more than comfortable around dogs or cats.

“Rosie and Jackson stayed with Sheila for day care. I had 2 very tired pups in the evening (and they are still sleeping) and I'm a happy Mom! I received photos and messages from my pups throughout the day how well they were doing. I didn't have to worry about them at all! Pups had Great time!”
“Was scrambling to find a sitter the night before work and Ana was so accommodating. My pup is still learning how to be around people/dogs and she was so warm & welcoming. I got update pictures throughout the day and Knoxx looked so happy to be there! She is absolutely amazing and most definitely will be using her services again!”
About: It's great to have a dog around!! From my first dog Cookie to boarding my Uncle's dog Fearless..well you just fall in love. Dogs force me to be the outdoor person I was meant to be..how can I say no to a walk?? I am super disciplined about feeding, watering, and any special needs. Can't wait to meet your furry friend... I am around most days and can be flexible depending on owners needs. I don''t require a lot of notice for walks, sitting, and or boarding. My home is dog ready..I have a fenced yard and a dog park close to me. Flexible accomodations..can have dogs run free in home..can crate if necessary. Fenced yard complete with turf grass. I live on a dead end street in a semi private neighborhood.
“Nicole was WONDERFUL to deal with! We booked very last minute changed plans 3 times and picked her up early due to plan changes and Nicole was super cool and easy to communicate with the entire time. My pup is very anxious and she went right into Nicoles home like she had been there 100 times. Finding a sitter for Lilah is soooo difficult and stressful with her anxiety and Nicole made it a breeze. She truly was a blessing 💕”
“Ashlea was awesome! She took a last minute request for Christmas Eve to entertain my large and energetic puppy, and sent multiple pictures and videos showing what a good time my dog was having. I 100% recommend her and would love to book in the future.”
“They did an amazing job and they showed how much they cared by asking questions making sure they would be the right fit for Bruno. To make it even better throughout the night they provided pictures to ease my mind about leaving my baby with them.”
“If I could leave a 10 star I would definitely do so. Gabriela was absolutely wonderful! She sent videos and pictures of Mr.Roadie. You definitely could tell she and her sweet girls made him feel at home. If we are ever back in Destin Florida we will definitely be completely comfortable leaving our Precious Mr.Roadie with Gabriela & her Family.”
“Julie was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Milo and Ralph! Milo can be a bit timid and isn’t used to being left with anyone, but Julie made him feel completely at ease. When we picked them up, they were both so happy and relaxed! Julie was quick to respond, super accommodating with our schedule, and clearly cared for our pups like they were her own. We got regular updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in how comfortable and happy our dogs were. Thank you Julie!!”
“We only needed to leave our dogs for 3 hours. Whe we picked them up they were happy to see us, but did not really want to leave all their new friends. To me that means that they had a great time playing with the other dogs. We will definitely use Channing again if we are ever in need in the Destin area.”

“Alexandra is fabulous! She has watched my 1 year old goldendoodle several times and had been very flexible and accommodating with my hectic work schedule. You can tell she really loves dogs and I can always tell he's been well taken care of when I pick him up. I love getting updates during the day- she takes him on walks and he always comes home so tired and happy from playing with her dogs. I highly recommend her to take care of your baby(s)!”
About: I have been caring for pets and wild life of all kinds (hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, fish, lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, turtles) for as long as I can remember, dating back to my early childhood days. I had a dog and cats growing up. Buster Brown was my childhood dog, he lived to be 18 years old. He was a good boy. Once he passed, of old age, I rescued Shatei. Shatei was my first baby as an adult. She was a Chow/Shephard mix, beautiful girl, looked like a lion. She was my sidekick for 15 years, before she passed of Cancer 😢 I then rescued two labs, Henry and Gracie. Oh my goodness, talk about personalities. Both of them were such sweethearts. Sadly, they both passed from Cancer at the age of 10. Which leads us to current day… I have a senior fur baby, she is 15 years old, pretty much blind and fairly deaf. She is a pee pad baby and the Queen of the house, so I am used to regular clean ups and special care for our older babies. I treat all babies as my own. My home is known as “the dog house”. When friends need a safe place for their babies, they bring them to me. My “Wolfpack” is used to their mom bringing home strays 🤣 after all, that’s how they all got here! My girls are 11, 12 and 15. Macy is the 11 year old and the dominant (mouthy) leader personality. She likes to spend her time barking at the UPS driver, Me, Postal Workers, humans walking their dogs, Me, birds, boats, Me, wind, hopefully You…she’s not picky, equal opportunity with that girl! Sydney is my 12 year old gentle sunbathing beauty, she likes to spend all of her time sunbathing on the front or back balcony, it depends on where the prime sunning spots are. She typically checks in with me on her commute from one balcony to the other, make sure I’m still doing my motherly duties, petting her belly, maybe slide a quick treat or two in. She’s easy going…🌞 🐾 Callie is my 15 year old senior, she enjoys no walks, eating as often as I will allow, barking at me to feed her, eating some more, sleeping and pooping wherever she pleases, because she knows mom will come right along and clean it up. And finally, saved the best or last, I lost my lil man Winston, at the age of 20 years old, 2 years ago. He was a champ, lil 10 lb Chiweenie, that lived his best Beach Life and now watches over us 🏖️ 😇 🐾 To sum it up, I love all animals! I am really drawn to dogs and they are typically drawn to me. I strive to keep a peaceful environment and vibe in my home and it reflects in how relaxed my dogs are 90% of the time. When I hit the couch, to relax, they flock to me. No matter if I have 3 or 6 dogs in my house, they all pile into the cuddle puddle, my favorite place to be! Who needs Heaven when you live like this!? This is MY HEAVEN! 🤗 I am ready to give your fur baby all the care, attention, and affection they deserve! I look forward to meeting you and your special fur baby! Sincerely, your dog’s future Aunt B ☀️ I am a retired stay at home dog mom! I recently retired from a career of 30 years, so I could focus on Living my best life and providing the best life for my fur babies! I am home pretty much 24/7, so plenty of time to play with your fur baby, take walks and lots of snuggles! Our day typically starts with doggy breakfast served first thing, followed by a nice long walk to make sure we take care of all of our business and smell all of the other business that was taken care of before we got there! After all, dogs can smell the mood someone is in, based on the scent they left behind 🤯 so I fully support letting them explore and use all of their amazing senses! Then it’s back home for a Good Girl or Good Boy treat, which I also carry on walks to encourage good behavior, then nap time! Napping options, based on weather, are the front balcony, back balcony, couch, or any dog or human bed in the house. The front balcony allows for monitoring delivery services, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, Uber Eats, you name it, we monitor for it, in addition to monitoring the walking path to ensure all dogs know who’s territory this is and let’s not forget the prime sunbathing! The back balcony allows additional prime sunbathing options, as well as monitoring for delivery services ACROSS the canal, yes, all services covered on that side too, in addition to boats, pelicans, herons, seagulls, loons (we really love the loons when they swim, it’s a special kind of freak out for Macy, oh and Dolphins 🐬 Macy REALLY loves the Dolphins and will let the ENTIRE Harbor know when one visits). 😃 We gets lots of attention from the boaters passing by too. Then it’s time for doggy dinner to be served, followed by another trip outside to take care of business and make sure the hood is secure! Then we typically hit the couch for some R&R and our famous Cuddle Puddle, with lots of pillows and blankets, because we like things cozy around here! Finally, a final potty break before bedtime. I have a gated balcony for your dog to enjoy and 3 older dogs to keep them company. I can crate dogs when desired and leash walk them for potty breaks. I have an unfenced side yard and close access to a walking path. Pets are allowed on all furniture, indoor and outdoor.

About: I have grown up taking care of pets. Mostly dogs and cats, and one rabbit. I currently have several daily care clients in Destin that are very satisfied with my TLC of their fur babies. I treat all fur babies as my own. I'm currently attending online school to become a certified dog trainer and will be extending my services to dog training soon. I am currently taking courses in dog CPR and first aid for pet sitters. I make sure I know any behaviors/ other needs I need to be aware of at the meet and greet so I can keep all pets safe and happy. I do request that all dogs be up to date on their rabies vaccination for the safety of all pets. I am a CNA with the state of FL and they require a level 2 background check to be performed every 2 years in addition to that of Rover performs. I'm happy to share references to you upon request. Taking care of pets is my full time job. I attended an online training for dog trainer certification for which I graduated in 2024 from Animal Behavior College in CA. I can work on any basic obedience training your pup might need while I'm caring for your fur babies. I can care for your pets in your home or mine. Whichever fits your schedule and gives you and your pets the best environment to be happy, safe and secure. I also offer doggy day care. My two cavaliers are very easy going and enjoy meeting new friends to play with. I have a fenced in yard with a side and back yard to explore and play.

About: I am new to tending to pets officially, but as a lovable dog dad of 7 years and counting I have always watched friends dogs, taken them on walks, popped in for things as little and quick as letting them potty and just get some good stretches in! I work mornings as a barista, so, I get to have my afternoons and evenings devoting to being with other fur babies. I’d initially like my girl Delilah to have friends to play with and vice-versa!! One on one time with pets is vital in more ways than one. Making sure they are getting attention keeps them happy. I’ve recommended to friends in the past to invest in a tracking collar. This allows tracking 24/7 and certain collars have GPS so you can see the route your fur baby and I would be taking every time we go for strolls!
About: I think a meet and greet is an important way to let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. If you have a senior dogs that needs to be walked by his/herself, that's no problem. They usually need to go at a slower pace so they can enjoy their walk. I can do walks or just drop in visits to be with them. I can also drop in visits for your cat, so they are not lonely. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours and the time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekdays and/or weekends. I have no problem walking larger dogs, but I can only board dogs 20 lbs or under. (my dogs are 11 lbs and under.) I have had pets for over 30 and taking care of family, friends and neighbors pets for over 25 years. I treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return. My fur babies like to lay in the sun.

And finally, saved the best or last, I lost my lil man Winston, at the age of 20 years old, 2 years ago. He was a champ, lil 10 lb Chiweenie, that lived his best Beach Life and now watches over us 🏖️ 😇 🐾 To sum it up, I love all animals! I am really drawn to dogs and they are typically drawn to me. I strive to keep a peaceful environment and vibe in my home and it reflects in how relaxed my dogs are 90% of the time. When I hit the couch, to relax, they flock to me. No matter if I have 3 or 6 dogs in my house, they all pile into the cuddle puddle, my favorite place to be! Who needs Heaven when you live like this!? This is MY HEAVEN! 🤗 I am ready to give your fur baby all the care, attention, and affection they deserve! I look forward to meeting you and your special fur baby! Sincerely, your dog’s future Aunt B ☀️ I am a retired stay at home dog mom! I recently retired from a career of 30 years, so I could focus on Living my best life and providing the best life for my fur babies! I am home pretty much 24/7, so plenty of time to play with your fur baby, take walks and lots of snuggles! Our day typically starts with doggy breakfast served first thing, followed by a nice long walk to make sure we take care of all of our business and smell all of the other business that was taken care of before we got there! After all, dogs can smell the mood someone is in, based on the scent they left behind 🤯 so I fully support letting them explore and use all of their amazing senses! Then it’s back home for a Good Girl or Good Boy treat, which I also carry on walks to encourage good behavior, then nap time! Napping options, based on weather, are the front balcony, back balcony, couch, or any dog or human bed in the house. The front balcony allows for monitoring delivery services, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, Uber Eats, you name it, we monitor for it, in addition to monitoring the walking path to ensure all dogs know who’s territory this is and let’s not forget the prime sunbathing! The back balcony allows additional prime sunbathing options, as well as monitoring for delivery services ACROSS the canal, yes, all services covered on that side too, in addition to boats, pelicans, herons, seagulls, loons (we really love the loons when they swim, it’s a special kind of freak out for Macy, oh and Dolphins 🐬 Macy REALLY loves the Dolphins and will let the ENTIRE Harbor know when one visits). 😃 We gets lots of attention from the boaters passing by too. Then it’s time for doggy dinner to be served, followed by another trip outside to take care of business and make sure the hood is secure! Then we typically hit the couch for some R&R and our famous Cuddle Puddle, with lots of pillows and blankets, because we like things cozy around here! Finally, a final potty break before bedtime. I have a gated balcony for your dog to enjoy and 3 older dogs to keep them company. I can crate dogs when desired and leash walk them for potty breaks. I have an unfenced side yard and close access to a walking path. Pets are allowed on all furniture, indoor and outdoor.
About: When I was a kid, I used to volunteer to walk neighbors dogs because we weren’t allowed to have a dog ourselves. And then I got Bentley who is a pet lab mix and easily became the first love of my life. Bentley is no longer with us at five years ago I adopted Earl and he has quickly become the number one spot in mine and my husband’s life. I am in the home all day so I am able to get frequent potty breaks lots of playtime and attention. In our home dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds. You can also expect daily picture and video updates because that is what I would want from whoever would watch my baby. I am currently home all day. In-home daycare and boarding are available pending a meet and greet with our dog Earl prior to the date of service. Earl is an Australian Shepherd border collie mix and is neutered. We live on a 1/4 acre lot with a fenced in backyard and Earl loves to have friends to play with! We will only go for walks in summer months if your pup has shoes because the pavement here gets really hot. Otherwise playtime in our grassy backyard will be plentiful with unlimited cold water breaks and full time access to be inside in the AC.
About: Growing up we always had animals in our home. There’s nothing like coming home to a wagging tail and dog kisses though. I’ve cared for all sizes of dogs and breeds and love them all equally. I understand the attention and care a dog needs. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to potty, play and enjoy the sun. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and runs as I’m a very active person myself. I’ll also entertain your dog with their favorite toys. In the evenings we can hang on the couch and watch tv and at night can sleep in my bed with me unless you have a preference on a doggy bed. I’ll obey your guidelines for your fur baby and treat them as my own. Prices and scheduling Is flexible. Are you active military?! I’m also available for long term dog sitting while you are away for training or deployment. Thank you for your service and it would be my pleasure to take care of your dog while away.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds dogs since I was young and have grown up with 3 dogs in my own house. Love getting outside and live very close to a great dog park in town! Flexible to meet the needs for each individual pet. I’m a pilot so my schedule fluctuates a lot week to week but on days where I’m not flying I am free every afternoon and evening, not traveling much on the weekend for the next couple months either! I have a spacious 3 bed 2.5 bath condo with front and back doors that open to grassed areas. Both doors have a lock and the front door has a ring camera on it. Very loving environment as I absolutely adore animals and would be honored to take care, walk, or just hang with your pets for a few hours!!
About: I’ve always loved dogs and will do my best to show your dog a good time. Money spent here will be spent on treats, hats and sunglasses for dogs. I am doing this because I love dogs and can’t have one of my one yet. I work 14 days on and 14 days off transporting oil and gas workers to and from the platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. This schedule keeps me from having a dog of my own but I always enjoy the company of dogs. This schedule also give me the free time to have awesome adventures with my friend’s pets on ocasión and hopefully your pet as well. I live in an apartment here in destin that is walking distance to a dog park on Indian Bayou. I will not except an offer unless I can accommodate the need of the dog specified by it’s human.
About: I have pet sat almost every summer since I was 13 years old. A mix of caring for my own dogs as well as family friends and coworkers furry friends. I've always had an affinity to animals and I am more than comfortable around dogs or cats. I am currently attending school, but my schedule is not too demanding leaving me with plenty of time to care for your pets. I am quite flexible both with my schedule and yours, cancellations are permitted at anytime! With a soccer field just down the street walks and playtime are no problem! We also have a pet friendly home with plenty of toys and space for your baby!

I have a lovely fenced in yard where they can roam and enjoy both the house and the outdoors. What ever they need they will have. Walks, treats, love, and a cozy bed! So rest assured I have a pug and he is my son! So I know what it means to truly love and see that these beauties are not just dogs, they are bursting with personality and traits that i wish humans possessed! So please let me meet both you and your fur babies and take care of them while you enjoy your stay here in Destin with us!

“I was out of town for a few days, and Harvey took very good care of my puppies. When I dropped them off, they were so excited it was like they already knew him, even though it was their first time meeting him. He shared pictures of them while I was away, and they looked very happy and relaxed. When I picked them up, they still seemed so happy (aside from being excited to see me, of course!). I would recommend Harvey with no problem if you need someone kind and sweet to take care of your pets.”
“Erik took such great care of my dog! He sent pictures and updates everyday. He took my dog on many walks/runs! I would highly recommend Erik to anyone that is visiting the Emerald Coast area and is in need of dog care!”
“David and Krysta were so sweet to our Cooper! Communication and photos while we were away were an added bonus! We highly recommend and will plan to use them again if we are in the area!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Ana was amazing with my German Shepherd Harper. I hope she is available next time I'm in the area. I know harp had a great time and she kept my updated with pictures without me asking”
“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“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!!!!!!!!!!”
“Jessica is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had for Callie! Her personal care, excellent communication, and caring heart made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. Callie absolutely loves her, and I appreciate Jessica’s constant updates. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a trusted sitter!”
“Pepper clearly had a wonderful time with Dakota's family. Lots of play time with other dogs, lots of cuddle time with her children, and lots of attention. Pepper was also the model for a great drawing from Dakota's daughter, and that drawing now is posted on my refrigerator! During the recent snowstorm, a rarity in this part of Arkansas, Pepper enjoyed the experience with Dakota's family her dogs.Will certainly bring her back for another visit when it's time!”
“Alexandra and crew (people, cats and a dog) were so welcoming that our two aussies were soon happy with their doggie vacation. They had very much built-in play time with the resident dog, and bonded with humans and animals alike in ways we'd not heard of from new contacts since Misty was a puppy (seriously, the pics and descriptions indicated a level of ease, happiness and playfulness we see with them at home). At pick-up time, they were glad to have us visit, but didn't seem completely ready to leave, We cannot imagine a better experience for our pups. If we manage to come to Miramar Beach again, we will definitely try Alexandra again.”
“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?”
“Ashlea and her family were so amazing with Teddy. We haven’t left him with anyone other than family in years. Teddy fit right in with her cats and dog. I was such a great experience we would definitely use her again!!”
About: It's great to have a dog around!! From my first dog Cookie to boarding my Uncle's dog Fearless..well you just fall in love. Dogs force me to be the outdoor person I was meant to be..how can I say no to a walk?? I am super disciplined about feeding, watering, and any special needs. Can't wait to meet your furry friend... I am around most days and can be flexible depending on owners needs. I don''t require a lot of notice for walks, sitting, and or boarding. My home is dog ready..I have a fenced yard and a dog park close to me. Flexible accomodations..can have dogs run free in home..can crate if necessary. Fenced yard complete with turf grass. I live on a dead end street in a semi private neighborhood.
“I'm so grateful for Nichole and her family taking care of my baby and accepting him on a short notice. He felt right at home. This is the first time I used Rover, and I couldn't have felt more comfortable leaving him with her. The messages of updates and photos or videos were also a wonderful touch, knowing he was well taken care of.”
“I had planned to board my girl at her normal boarding place, but she had kennel cough so they couldn't take her. Kind of at the last minute, I got on Rover and found Andrew and Maria and it couldn't have been a better experience. I can tell she was well cared for, they sent pictures and videos, and she just had a good time. I was hesitant about sending her off with someone I don't know, but I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take care of your pets.”
About: I have been caring for pets and wild life of all kinds (hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, fish, lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, turtles) for as long as I can remember, dating back to my early childhood days. I had a dog and cats growing up. Buster Brown was my childhood dog, he lived to be 18 years old. He was a good boy. Once he passed, of old age, I rescued Shatei. Shatei was my first baby as an adult. She was a Chow/Shephard mix, beautiful girl, looked like a lion. She was my sidekick for 15 years, before she passed of Cancer 😢 I then rescued two labs, Henry and Gracie. Oh my goodness, talk about personalities. Both of them were such sweethearts. Sadly, they both passed from Cancer at the age of 10. Which leads us to current day… I have a senior fur baby, she is 15 years old, pretty much blind and fairly deaf. She is a pee pad baby and the Queen of the house, so I am used to regular clean ups and special care for our older babies. I treat all babies as my own. My home is known as “the dog house”. When friends need a safe place for their babies, they bring them to me. My “Wolfpack” is used to their mom bringing home strays 🤣 after all, that’s how they all got here! My girls are 11, 12 and 15. Macy is the 11 year old and the dominant (mouthy) leader personality. She likes to spend her time barking at the UPS driver, Me, Postal Workers, humans walking their dogs, Me, birds, boats, Me, wind, hopefully You…she’s not picky, equal opportunity with that girl! Sydney is my 12 year old gentle sunbathing beauty, she likes to spend all of her time sunbathing on the front or back balcony, it depends on where the prime sunning spots are. She typically checks in with me on her commute from one balcony to the other, make sure I’m still doing my motherly duties, petting her belly, maybe slide a quick treat or two in. She’s easy going…🌞 🐾 Callie is my 15 year old senior, she enjoys no walks, eating as often as I will allow, barking at me to feed her, eating some more, sleeping and pooping wherever she pleases, because she knows mom will come right along and clean it up.
