“Sheila was awesome. She gave me great tips on potty training our 5 month old maltipoo puppy. She kept in touch and sent daily photos of Presley. I feel very comfortable with Sheila and will use her again and highly recommend her”
“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 💕💕💕”
“Chantal and her family were so sweet to our old man. Her puppy played well with him and he felt so comfortable! Chantal was kind, professional, and gave our furbaby lots of love! She is now our go-to dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“I was new to the area and looking to find a sitter for my dog on short notice. I connected with Nicole and she took great care of my dog during my travels. Communications were easy and she worked with me on a few scheduling challenges. My dog was very happy in her care and Nicole sent a fun video during the stay. Highly recommend.”
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“Dakota and her family were amazing with my dog! They treated him like family, and he had a fantastic time. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great place for their pets! Thank you!”
“I adore Jeannette and so did my fur baby! I felt completely confident leaving my dog with her. I was pleased with all the updates and the photos she sent me. Jetta was so happy and loved her dog. They had the best time playing together and going on walks. I would absolutely recommend Jeannette!”
“We love having Jessica watch our boy. She sends plenty of updates and keeps his schedule. We appreciate that she gives him time outside for walks as well. She’s great!!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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.”
“Chloe was amazing! I was worried about leaving our puppy for the first time, but Chloe made the process so much easier. She is attentive, responsible, and caring and we will most definitely use her in the future. Champ loved his time at Chloe’s!!”
“Million and her 2 sons took great care of our dog over the weekend. She sent a bunch of pictures and videos every day; and it was obvious he was getting lots of attention and play time. I know he enjoyed it and we look forward to using her again in the future.”
“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’ve always had a special love for cats and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m happy to keep their routine consistent by cleaning the litter box, refreshing food and water, giving oral medications if needed, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Tiffany was great! She was available for a last minute trip and was able to easily adjust the days to match our plans. She also brought in an unexpected package that was delivered while we were away.”

“This was my first time ever using Rover and Ana made it a very good experience. My 18.5 year old service dog has always been with me but I was visiting in-laws who weren’t allowed to have pets visit their rental home. I didn’t know what to do, so I searched online and found Rover. Ana was quick to respond and helpful. She took good care of my Sophie for the day and was flexible on our schedule. The home was clean and she was so welcoming.”
“Samantha is wonderful! She is very responsive, kind, and patient with my puppy. Samantha has been attentive to her throughout the day especially when she plays with bigger dogs and is kennel training. She is fantastic and improves my pups quality of life by watching her while im at work.”
“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!”
About: I've always had pets growing up from turtles, fish, ferrets and cats and dogs! I have watched several of my friends and family pets. I am currently working from home 40 hours a week and can host a dog or 2 depending on size for daycare/boarding. I am also available for morning and evening check-ins and walks! I do work from home so your babies can come hang out with me and my puppers during the work day and play out all their energy! I do have a 1.5 yr old golden doodle who loves to play and stays home with me now that I work from home. We love to go on walks or go to the park.
About: I have cared for and trained canines for decades. As a decades long instructor, I have a developed strong compassionate care attributes that have blended well with my care for furry friends. I am retired and spend most of my time at home or doing activities with my fur child. Taking care of my pet is what I do. I have a fully fenced property with plenty of room to run. I am conscientious and respectful of persons reasonable requests that are unique to their pet.
“We had a great experience with our Rover sitter, Jeanette! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for our pup was. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we felt completely confident leaving our dog in her care. We would absolutely book with Jeanette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
About: I’m not sure that I’m much different then most pet loving people. I do have experience training adults and puppies, I have had a variety of breeds for pets. I feel that I can connect with dogs. My pets went to obedience school, allowing me to pick up some training skills. I haven’t met a friendly dog that I didn’t fall in love with yet. As I said before- Let me love your pets. Plenty of time for whatever you and your pets needs may be. I have open availability at this time, so please take advantage while it lasts. I have a large fenced in backyard with a pool. If your baby likes to swim, provide the life jacket and we will have some fun in the water.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since my teenage years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large German Shepherds. I’m currently the proud dog mom of Neptune, our 7-year-old Pomsky, and two rescued shelter cats from Louisiana. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My husband also works remotely part-time from home, so there is usually someone home during the day. Our teenage daughter is home for the summer as well, meaning your pets will receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We recently added a fenced 0.34-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Our home is calm, family-oriented, and full of animal lovers, with multiple people available to give attention and care. I’m experienced with dogs of many sizes and personalities and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hey there! I'm Jaznie and I'm absolutely thrilled to offer the best care for your beloved family member right here in Fort Walton Beach! I have years of experience as a dedicated pet owner, growing up my house was always full of bunnies, dogs, cats, turtles and even little parrots. I understand that your pets aren't just animals, they're members of the home. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a cozy lap to nap on, or your feline friend requires some extra playtime and cuddles, I'm here to provide personalized attention and a safe, loving environment. I'm passionate about making sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. Why choose me? I'm reliable, attentive, and genuinely adore animals. I'm also committed to clear communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how much fun your pet is having! Let's connect and chat about how I can be the perfect pal for your pet. I'm thrilled to offer exclusive, one-on-one pet care. My schedule is wide open, meaning your pets will be the sole focus of my attention. No juggling multiple clients here! I want every pet to feel loved and cared for, not uncomfortable by the presence of other animals they haven't been properly introduced to. A typical day with me starts early between 7 and 8 AM with a refreshing walk around my neighborhood. We'll then settle into a rhythm that includes dedicated playtime, mental stimulation through trick practice (with owner-approved treats!), and plenty of cuddles. Midday will bring another chance for outdoor adventure, ensuring your pet is happy and active. As evening approaches, I'll gently guide them into their wind-down routine, aiming for a consistent bedtime. They can even sleep in my room for extra comfort and security, unless you prefer they have their own space. I'm constantly attuned to their needs – whether it's a longer walk, more water, or just extra snuggles. And I will send pictures throughout the day of the things your pet is doing so you know everything is going accordingly. How I Care for Pets in My Home (Boarding): When your furry family member stays with me, they become part of my temporary household! I only host one family's pets at a time, ensuring your beloved companion receives my undivided attention and a stress-free environment. This means no sharing space or attention with other clients' animals, just personalized love for your pet. A typical day begins between 7 and 8 AM with a neighborhood walk. We then settle into a comfortable routine that includes: Plenty of Playtime & Cuddles: Engaging play sessions tailored to their energy level or cozy snuggles on the couch. Mental Stimulation: We can practice tricks and provide treats (approved by you, of course!) to keep their minds sharp and engaged. Consistent Potty Breaks: Another walk is always on the agenda later in the day to ensure they're comfortable. Attentive Care: I'm always checking on water levels and food, ensuring they get the perfect amount of outdoor time, and watching for any signs of discomfort. Nighttime Routine: As the day winds down, I help them settle into their evening routine, aiming for a consistent bedtime. For their comfort and security, your pet is welcome to sleep in my room (unless you prefer they have their own designated, comfortable space). Daily Updates: You'll receive regular photo and text updates, so you can see how much fun your pet is having and have complete peace of mind. To ensure your pet feels perfectly at home and comfortable during their stay, please pack everything they'll need for their visit. This helps maintain their routine and makes them feel more secure! Here's a quick list to get you started: Their Bed: Please ensure it's thoroughly clean before drop-off, or I can clean it for an additional fee. Food: Enough for their entire stay, plus a little extra just in case! Food & Water Bowls Favorite Toys Collar & Leash Crate (if applicable): If they are crate-trained or use one for sleeping. Any Medications with clear instructions. Anything else you feel is necessary to make their stay feel like home! I'm truly excited to welcome your furry friend and provide them with a fantastic, loving experience here in my home.

“When we need someone to watch our babies again Rebecca is who we will turn to. She kept us updated while we were away and the pets were getting along better when we got back. I do’t know what she said to them but I won’t be surprised if I find our dog and younger cat curled up together. He has become quite protective of her. After Rebecca left, our Maddox cried. He wanted to go with her. Rebecca is a keeper as a sitter. I highly recommend her. Very carring.”
About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by the Amish community, where caring for animals, from cows and goats to dogs and cats, was simply part of daily life. That early experience shaped my respect for animals of all kinds and gave me a lifelong passion for their care. Today, I’m proud to be both a certified yoga instructor and a devoted pet mom to three wonderful dogs and several cats. I bring the same patience, energy, and mindfulness from my yoga practice into how I care for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve gained extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, but I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats. From gentle walks to providing comfort and administering medications, I understand the extra attention and compassion they need in their golden years. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calming stroll, or specialized senior care, I adapt to their unique personality and routines. I am flexible, reliable, and committed to making your life easier while giving your pet the very best care. You can relax knowing your four-legged family member is in good hands.

Walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. No task is too big or too small.
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.

I want you to enjoy your time as an owner and know that your babies will be well taken care of! Your pets will become apart of my family and will be loved on just as much as I love on mine! They will become part of our extended family too! Why do I love to dog sit and/or care for animals? I have loved animals my whole life and I couldn’t imagine a household without them. I have a passion for caring for animals as I would with my own and I want you to know your pets will be well taken care of. Meet our baby: We currently have a Chocolate Lab named, Tucker. He is almost 3 years old and full of energy!! He loves to play fetch with his favorite squeaky ball, go on walks, and go play in the beautiful Florida water 💙 Routine hours are 8:00 am - 6:00 pm. I am currently a stay at home mom and have availability during the week between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. I tend to be pretty flexible with my schedule so just fully communicate the needs you’re looking for! I would care for your pets the way I do my own! I like to follow any kind of routine they might have and what works best for them! I strive to continue what they are accustomed to at home so they won't even think about you being gone!

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and even worked at a doggy daycare for two years! I’m looking forward to meeting your pup! 🥰 I am available on the weekends to walk your pup. I have some experience with animals and even trained my own dogs to do fun tricks. I have weekends off which means I can be super flexible with my schedule on those days! I have to spend time daily with my two dogs making sure they get enough exercise and mental stimulation! I have dog puzzles and licking matts that they love using.
About: I’ve fostered over 10 dogs and currently have three of my own. I’ve had animals my whole life and have always dog sat friends/ family’s/ coworkers animals! I work and do school virtually so I am available almost any time any day! I can do last minute check ins and long visits. I can do supervised outdoor/ indoor time, long walks, and runs. I am used to overly attached/ loving dogs so personal space doesn’t exist in my home so I don’t mind hyper or “in your face” dogs!
“Nicole has been really great with our dog Duffy as his new M-F walker! She has left thorough notes about their time together and has taken some really great pictures of him! He seems to really enjoy hanging out with her. I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a walker or sitter!”

“Chantal and her family were so sweet to our old man. Her puppy played well with him and he felt so comfortable! Chantal was kind, professional, and gave our furbaby lots of love! She is now our go-to dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“I was new to the area and looking to find a sitter for my dog on short notice. I connected with Nicole and she took great care of my dog during my travels. Communications were easy and she worked with me on a few scheduling challenges. My dog was very happy in her care and Nicole sent a fun video during the stay. Highly recommend.”
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“Dakota and her family were amazing with my dog! They treated him like family, and he had a fantastic time. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great place for their pets! Thank you!”
“I adore Jeannette and so did my fur baby! I felt completely confident leaving my dog with her. I was pleased with all the updates and the photos she sent me. Jetta was so happy and loved her dog. They had the best time playing together and going on walks. I would absolutely recommend Jeannette!”
“We love having Jessica watch our boy. She sends plenty of updates and keeps his schedule. We appreciate that she gives him time outside for walks as well. She’s great!!”
“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.”
“Chloe was amazing! I was worried about leaving our puppy for the first time, but Chloe made the process so much easier. She is attentive, responsible, and caring and we will most definitely use her in the future. Champ loved his time at Chloe’s!!”
“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.”
“This is my second time booking with Robert and everytime he does an awesome job. My anxious dog who is scared of humans greeted him everytime he came home and even let him pet her. He is a great dog sitter!”
“Tyeshia was super nice and caring with Baldr. He had a splendid time relaxing with her family, being in a calm household and daily walks is Baldr's favorite past times. We will definitely be seeking her service again when we go away. Thank you Ty”
“Cheryl was so sweet and Daisy was a happy girl when we picked her up. She took us on last minute and we couldn’t be more thankful! She sent lots of pictures throughout the stay and kept us updated. ☺️”
