Highly-rated overnight sitters - Paxton
“Our River sitter did a solid job taking care of our elderly dog who needs daily medication. She was very reasonably priced, flexible with our schedule, and made the whole process easy. Nothing over the top—just reliable, straightforward care at a great value. We appreciated the affordability and convenience, and we'd happily book with her again!”
“Allison was terrific! You can tell that she really cares about the pets as if they are her own. I loved the fact that she sent me updates and pictures of my baby everyday. She always responded in a timely manner to all of my texts.”
“We loved having Charlie stay with Marissa! We were thankful to have someone available last minute during the Christmas season who took such good care of our dog! Between the pictures and daily feedback we could see Charlie was extremely comfortable and made himself at home! Definitely someone we can come back to and refer others to take their fur-babies to stay.”
“Tatiana takes such good care of our pup while we’re away! She’s very quick to respond and is always sending pictures. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“I cannot thank you enough for taking care of my babies at the last-minute booking. Francis is super communicative and solution-oriented, especially since it's the first time they were apart. I felt comfortable and secure with her. Definitely, when I go back to the town, I will book here again.”
“Courtney and David took exceptional care of our pup! They treated her as their own during her stay and our Luna loved playing with their dog, Aspen! They even included our dog on their weekend outing with them ❤️ I look forward to using them again in the future and I’m sure Luna will be thrilled to go back!”
“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!”
“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.”
“My husky had a great stay with Tammy! He was treated like family in Tammy's home and had several other dogs to play with. Furthermore, Tammy was able to accomodate my short-notice request after another sitter cancelled on me. She was very responsive to my questions and is an excellent sitter.”
“Katie and her husband were amazing with our dogs!!! They are worth every penny and more! Facilities: As advertised! Clean, comfortable spaces for our dog crates and beds. Tons of running room for dogs that need to stretch their legs. They even sent us photos of the dogs visiting with the neighboring cattle through the fence. Care: Our dogs were well taken care of and it was evidenced by their comfort level, happiness, and food intake while we were gone. One of our dogs is fairly aggressive to men she doesn't know. Katie's husband had our dog in heaven with all the belly rubs and playing. Cost: We got much more than we paid for! Thank you so much and we WILL definitely be back. For folks visiting Destin or Panama City Beach, these guys really know what they are doing and the extra drive to them is well worth knowing that your animals are well cared for, in a safe place, and you will return to find them happy and healthy!! Can't wait to see ya'll again.”
“Cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Carla. This was my first time leaving my pup with someone other than family, and it went incredibly well. Carla and her son were so thoughtful and caring with my sweet girl. She sent me numerous updates and photos throughout the days to ease my nerves. They went above and beyond, I will definitely be using her in the future to care for my baby!!”
“Was very quick to answer all of my questions since this was the first time leaving my dog with someone. Provided lots of updates to ease my worry about being away from my pup.”
“She was amazing with our dogs, every-time we would ask for an update she would respond in a timely manner and provided pictures almost everyday. I can tell the dogs enjoyed staying with her and especially loved her huge backyard. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Wipaporn is just excellent! Took care of our puppy for a week, every day she sent us pictures and videos of our puppy always keeping us updated on how our dog was doing. Will definitely use of her services again in the future. Thanks for everything Wipaporn!!!”

About: Let me just list some of the pets I have had in my lifetime: turtles, gold fish, dogs of all sizes, cats of every color, birds, and a rabbit (probably missed a few). My most challenging was a husky mix that was named Jasper the Great because he could escape from anything. I love them all and learn their ways so we can all be comfortable with each other.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Paxton
“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.”
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: What makes me different is that I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them the way I would my own. I focus on calm, patient, in-home care so pets can stay in their normal routine and feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, quirks, and needs, and I always communicate with regular photo and video updates so you never feel out of the loop. Your pet isn’t just a booking to me — they’re family. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my daily life as a stay-at-home mom, allowing me to balance caring for my own family while providing loving care for other pets. I can structure my schedule around my children’s routines, ensuring they’re taken care of while also giving each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. This flexibility allows me to be fully present both for my family and the pets I’m entrusted with. As my main source of income, pet sitting is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to build a business I’m passionate about, all while staying at home with my kids. It allows me to work from home, maintain a predictable routine, and provide a safe, nurturing environment for animals and families alike. When caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to maintain their familiar routine and environment so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each owner’s specific instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and playtime. I provide companionship, attention, and care tailored to each pet’s personality, whether that’s cuddling, playing, walking, or simply being nearby. I also make sure to respect the home itself—keeping it clean, secure, and organized while owners are away. I can handle tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring the home feels lived-in so owners can return to a happy, healthy pet and a well-cared-for space.
“Kyasia was amazing! She sent updates with pics and was very accommodating with our drop off and pickup times. Our pup seemed much less anxious than when she stays with the sitter we normally use. Thank you, Ky!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Over the years, I've become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they travel because they know their pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for. I decided to offer pet sitting because I understand how important it is to find someone who is both trustworthy and affordable. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind while providing their pets with a fun, comfortable, and loving environment. My fiancé and I both work from home full-time, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Our flexible schedules allow us to accommodate walks, playtime, potty breaks, outdoor time, and plenty of one-on-one attention. We have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who enjoy meeting new friends. Our 6-year-old Australian Shepherd is well-socialized and loves having canine companions around, and our 3-year-old Lab-Husky mix, Ollie, is playful, affectionate, and always excited to welcome new visitors. We also share our home with three cats who are independent and generally keep to themselves. For pets who are crate-trained or need their own space, we have an extra-large crate available. In our home, pets are treated like family. They're welcome on the furniture and beds, and they'll get plenty of love, playtime, attention, and cuddles. I do my best to make every pet feel safe, happy, and right at home while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because both my husband and I work from home. This allows us to provide frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, and we can easily accommodate their individual routines and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for during their stay. I provide a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment for pets in my home. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. Pets have plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay. I also have a crate available if a pet is crate-trained or if the owner prefers crating when needed. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their owner is away.

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.

I am very happy we found 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: Hi there! I’m Patricia. I’m a proud pittie mom and previous emergency veterinary technician with 3+ years of professional experience caring for pets of all ages. I’ve also volunteered providing medical care and rehabilitation for wildlife, so I’m comfortable handling a wide variety of situations. From puppies to seniors, your pet will receive attentive, specialized care in a safe and loving environment. I’ve since transitioned out of emergency medicine to dedicate time to my higher education, and I now focus my schedule around pet sitting. This gives me a flexible, reliable availability and allows me to be fully present for the pets I care for. I also prioritize clear, consistent communication with every client: • Meet & Greets: I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet before your booking so I can get to know you and your pet. This helps me learn routines, preferences, and any special needs. • Emergency Contacts: I collect all essential contact information to ensure you’re reached immediately if anything urgent arises. • Daily Updates: I provide text, photo, and video updates covering meals, walks, playtime, and any observations regarding your pet’s health or behavior.

I’m flexible and happy to work with you to find the best times for your pet’s care. I treat all animals like they are my own, providing a nurturing environment for them to thrive while their pet parents are away. I maintain a clean space while ensuring your animals receive the quality care and attention they need. Communication is important to me, therefore, I will ensure that you are kept updated daily during the time that you are away.
About: I take pet care seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide consistent updates with photos, follow all care instructions closely, and stay attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. With a disciplined, trustworthy work ethic and a calm approach in any situation, you can feel confident knowing your pet is in responsible and caring hands. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I already structure my day around it. I make sure all feedings, walks, playtime, and check ins are done on time and never rushed. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets naturally blends into my daily and weekly schedule. Whether it is a quick drop in or extended care, every pet still gets the same attention, patience, and love as if they were my own. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always stick closely to the pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of potty breaks or litter box cleanings, and receive lots of attention and affection. I spend time playing, walking, or just keeping them company depending on their personality and energy level. I keep their space clean and safe, follow any special instructions or medication needs, and always send photo updates so owners feel at ease while they are away.

About: I have been taking care of a variety of pets my entire life I have cared for exotic, horses, bunnies and your everyday animal’s!! I have also worked in a small zoo taking care of birds of prey. I was going to school to be a vet tech my switch to nursing instead and will later return to the animal field I currently am only doing pet sitting and going to school but only go to school two times a week so I’m fairly flexible when caring for your pups I care for your pets as if they were my own. I don’t do this for the money I do it because it is something I’m passionate about.
About: Let me just list some of the pets I have had in my lifetime: turtles, gold fish, dogs of all sizes, cats of every color, birds, and a rabbit (probably missed a few). My most challenging was a husky mix that was named Jasper the Great because he could escape from anything. I love them all and learn their ways so we can all be comfortable with each other. I love to take walks and I don't rush the dogs, but we both will get a good workout. Used to have a cat that liked to walk on a leash. Sure miss that cat. Call me up so I can start loving up on your pet too. Have a great Day and God Bless. Peace!

“Allison was terrific! You can tell that she really cares about the pets as if they are her own. I loved the fact that she sent me updates and pictures of my baby everyday. She always responded in a timely manner to all of my texts.”
“Tatiana takes such good care of our pup while we’re away! She’s very quick to respond and is always sending pictures. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“I cannot thank you enough for taking care of my babies at the last-minute booking. Francis is super communicative and solution-oriented, especially since it's the first time they were apart. I felt comfortable and secure with her. Definitely, when I go back to the town, I will book here again.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brittany and the exceptional care she provided for our dog, Bella, while we were away for a week following our son's high school graduation. From the moment we met Brittany, it was clear that she is both knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. Bella is a senior dog with specific needs, including medication, and Brittany handled everything with confidence, compassion, and attention to detail. Throughout our trip, Brittany kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that Bella was happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention. Brittany and her family truly treated Bella as one of their own. Coming home to a relaxed, happy dog confirmed what we already knew—we had found someone special. We feel incredibly blessed to have found Brittany and will absolutely trust her with Bella during future vacations. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and experienced pet sitter.”
“Courtney and David took exceptional care of our pup! They treated her as their own during her stay and our Luna loved playing with their dog, Aspen! They even included our dog on their weekend outing with them ❤️ I look forward to using them again in the future and I’m sure Luna will be thrilled to go back!”
“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!”
“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.”
“My husky had a great stay with Tammy! He was treated like family in Tammy's home and had several other dogs to play with. Furthermore, Tammy was able to accomodate my short-notice request after another sitter cancelled on me. She was very responsive to my questions and is an excellent sitter.”
“Katie and her husband were amazing with our dogs!!! They are worth every penny and more! Facilities: As advertised! Clean, comfortable spaces for our dog crates and beds. Tons of running room for dogs that need to stretch their legs. They even sent us photos of the dogs visiting with the neighboring cattle through the fence. Care: Our dogs were well taken care of and it was evidenced by their comfort level, happiness, and food intake while we were gone. One of our dogs is fairly aggressive to men she doesn't know. Katie's husband had our dog in heaven with all the belly rubs and playing. Cost: We got much more than we paid for! Thank you so much and we WILL definitely be back. For folks visiting Destin or Panama City Beach, these guys really know what they are doing and the extra drive to them is well worth knowing that your animals are well cared for, in a safe place, and you will return to find them happy and healthy!! Can't wait to see ya'll again.”
“Was very quick to answer all of my questions since this was the first time leaving my dog with someone. Provided lots of updates to ease my worry about being away from my pup.”
“She was amazing with our dogs, every-time we would ask for an update she would respond in a timely manner and provided pictures almost everyday. I can tell the dogs enjoyed staying with her and especially loved her huge backyard. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Jenna is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! The care, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of how awesome she is! I was gone for a little over two weeks and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was taking the best care of my boy. All I can say is WOW, I am so totally impressed! I need never look for any other pet sitter! I have found the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus!!!!”
