“Aaron was a lifesaver, my dog can be very attached, and potentially bark the whole time we are gone. But he did very well l, and Aaron agree to dog sit twice for us.”
“She did a great job keeping my baby! It was a last minute thing and I am so glad it worked out! I paid extra to have him groomed and he looks as cute as a button! I highly recommend her services!”
“Romeo had such a great time at his sleepover with Valerie’s pups. We felt really assured after our meet & greet that Romeo will be well taken care of. Valerie sent daily photo updates while we were away for Christmas. On top of that, she sent Romeo home with a surprise gift from Santa! Thank you for giving Romeo the best sleepover he’s had with your girls. I am sure he already misses them! We’ll be back for sure if another travel opportunity comes up.”
“Our pups love Aurora more than us I feel like haha! That’s how well she takes care of them and loves on them. We know they are in the best hands with her and they look forward to visiting. :)”
“Anna was wonderful. She kept me updated on how Kona was doing each day. Kona was happy and loved being able to play with the kids on her vacation. I would definitely recommend Anna!!”
“Marina and her family were absolutely incredible. Buddha was treated like the family dog and made me feel at such peace knowing where she was. Our flight home was delayed due to a snow storm and Marina was quick to help and treated us with patience/understanding. Will be using again!”
“Tracey was AWESOME! From the initial conversations to the actual booking process. She was so kind and sent me updates to ensure all was going well. Would definitely recommend and use her services again. Thanks Tracey! ☺️”
“Shannon was absolutely fabulous! My husband and I were in town to have our wedding with all of our friends and family and had planned on keeping our sweet baby with us but decided it would be best to find someone to watch him since we would be so busy over those few days. I was super nervous leaving my buddy but Shannon reassured me and even checked in throughout the few days she had him and she even sent picture updates! She was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you did!”
“Jennifer exudes a soft kindness that comforted us in leaving our furbaby with her. Gypsy was excited to come home but we also noticed how much she loved her doggy vacay with Jennifer and her family the way she interacted with Jennifer. And she also came back so clean :D”
About: My name is Alexandria, and I absolutely love all the pups! I would love to care for your fur baby and get all the cuddles while you enjoy your time away! I’ve got 8+ years experience being a kennel tech and would be better accommodated if I could do it remotely. I haven’t met an animal yet that I didn’t love caring for! I work for Bay District Schools so I am off for the summer and have plenty of free time and am accommodated to sit small breed dogs. I have a 3 month old miniature schnauzer and a 5 month old plott hound beagle mix that are the light of my life aside from being a mom! I sit for family and friends but am looking to expand. I can care for pets in-home, and can be available for house visits. I’m very experienced in nail trimming and bathing. I do not offer grooming services but will if necessary.
“Our dog Tink stayed with Angela and her fam for 7 nights while we were down at the beach for vaca. We got pics and updates along the way. Our dog was very happy and well cared for. She is so tired now from all the good playtime. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“Destiny was absolutely wonderful with Athena! She sent me pics and updates the whole time she stayed there. I will definitely be using Destiny from now on, and now I feel comfortable being able to go out of town knowing Athena is in great hands with Destiny!”
“Paola is great dog sitter took my dogs for walks and showed her a lot of attention which I appreciated because she’s never stayed away from me! A great experience she’s knows a lot about dogs and is beyond qualified! Definitely would use her again!”
“Cathryn is wonderful! She communicates in a timely manner, and our little dog, Daisy, seems very comfortable with her. We had an issue getting back into town on time, but Cathryn was understanding and was able to work with us for an extra day (we're so appreciative!!). She's pretty great. I'll happily ask her to watch Daisy for us in the future.”
“From the meet and greet to the end of her stay Athena enjoyed herself. Brittany provided a safe clean and loving environment and I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service. She sent plenty of pictures during Athena’s stay and she communicated every step of the way. I will definitely be booking with her again”
“Jessie was excellent! She was very responsive to my messages and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. My dog has separation anxiety and can be a little nervous when I’m away, but Jessie handled it with so much patience and care. I could tell my pup felt comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”

“Lisa was an amazing - we were gone a few days, this was the first time I had ever left my kitten with someone that wasn’t family. I would leave him a month with Lisa! She sent pictures morning and night, left everything spotless and made the kitties feel safe. Highly reccomend her for all your animal needs. Would book her 100x over!!!”
“Timely and consistent check-ins, did a meetup with my animals before upon booking, was okay with taking care of a reptile, and even cleaned up some unexpected messes. Would recommend to anyone, especially cat owners.”
“Linda is a wonderful sitter. She has always taken very good care of my boys. Even the super shy one was easily won over by her. She always spends extra time with him. We’re moving out of the area soon and I know they’ll miss her kind visits.”
“Sheri was so attentive to our cat, Cashmere. She gave me a daily report card that was reassuring while we were out of the country. She also was so nice to bring in packages for us while we were gone.”
“Breana is the sweetest and genuinely cares! It made traveling so much more relaxing knowing that she was taking such good care of my babies. She sent me consistent photos and updates on my cats which I appreciated! She went above and beyond by cleaning up pet related messes and even putting the cats dirty food bowls and spoons in my dishwasher which I did not expect her to do at all!! Highly recommend and will absolutely book her in the future!”
“This was our first time with Rover and I was very nervous about leaving my kitties. I am so pleased that we selected Joni! She did an outstanding job with our three cats, all with different needs and followed all my instructions. I loved getting updates and photos after every visit. Thank you so much Joni we will definitely be choosing you again on our next trip.”
“Aubrey is an excellent sitter, she went above and beyond. She took amazing care of my cats, cleaning liter perfectly and giving them their wet food. She is a quick responder and really helped me feel my cats were super safe!”
“Katherine was incredible while we were away! She was so detailed in the care of our cats, played with them and ensured their litter areas were cleaned. Her communication was excellent and we loved all of the photos she provided. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Kiersten was great! On time, respectful and responsive! I felt safe knowing my little fur baby was well cared for while I was away. I will definitely have her check on Pixie again! Thanks!”
“Kristian ("Jade") did a fantastic job with our baby, Alice. She sent us pictures every day, along with a brief report, so we could see how well Alice was doing. We will definitely use Jade again when we travel.”
“Jessie has been absolutely amazing. My dogs are a bit of a handful and I was a little worried about introducing a new person into their routine but it hasn't been an issue at all. It has been such a relief having someone dependable and caring that can drop in on them and I don't have to be concerned about it! Thank you Jessie!”
“I would recommend Denise to anyone looking to ensure their fur babies get the best care while away. She took great care of my 3 cats and I wouldn’t hesitate to request her sitter services in the future.”
About: I've had dogs and horses since I can remember. Currently we have 5 dogs and 3 goats! We have had trouble finding a reliable sitter for our animals. So I decided to offer my services. We are always nervous to leave our animals in other peoples hands and that has kept us from doing a lot of traveling and other things. I want clients to feel assured that their babies will be well taken care of. Currently, as of now my schedule is wide open.. i am available at all times. I am available for all services orher than in my home. I would love to watch pets in my home we have a lot of land. However we have an elderly pitt bull rescue. He is hands down one of the sweetest dogs ive ever had But Im always cautious just in case there is that "one time". So for now, i can privide every other service.
About: My undergraduate studies in Animal Cognition first brought me to Florida six years ago. I instantly fell in love with the sand, sun, and ability to truly live an outdoor lifestyle. And, it only gets better now that I get to share all these beautiful things with my rescued GSP pup! I have dedicated my professional career to studying the behavior of animals, whether it's marine mammals, horses, or our beloved canine companions. I have recently found myself returning to my passion for dog training and personalizing everyday routines to best suit my clients. Just like many of us paw parents, our pets equally benefit from consistency and familiar support. Taking this extra step to understand your pet's day-to-day routine and specific needs is how I plan to ease you both while you enjoy your time away. Don't worry, we plan on enjoying our time together too as we play, snuggle, and maybe sneak an extra treat or two! Just like you would if you were home 😉 PLEASE NOTE: *A scheduled MEET & GREET with your pet(s) will be REQUIRED prior to finalizing any services. *I have a FULL-TIME job and cannot guarantee midday potty breaks for most bookings. *I currently DO NOT offer boarding or daycare services. I am currently employed FULL-TIME during the weekdays. I am most available to help in the early mornings, evenings, and for overnight stays. Depending on the location of your residence, midday potty breaks may be feasible. I can always provide personal recommendations for daytime sitters/walkers upon request! I DO NOT offer boarding in my home at this time! My rescue pup is focusing on building his confidence, but continues to make friends everywhere we go. I hope to offer in-house boarding services soon. When applicable, vaccination records and references will be required upon booking.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and a few dogs since I was 8. I helped a newborn kitten and nurtured him back to life. I’ve had a bearded dragon and I now have a fish. I’m available mostly week days after 2 and weekends after 2. I do have a few days off during the week like Wednesday and Thursday and sometimes fridays I can take care of your baby easily. I can walk them and take them for a bathroom break as well. I love animals. :)

“Aaron is amazing!! Our girls loved being with him and his family. He went above and beyond by providing super detailed info about their walk breaks and if they peeped or pooped. But the absolute BEST part was his super artistic photos of the girls!!! Works of art!!”
“Ashley was amazing! Henry came back worn out after playing in the yard all day, and I got a few tips on raising a puppy too :) She definitely goes above & beyond, as well as sending updates through the day so I wasn’t ever stressed. Henry & I would very highly recommend!!”

“I highly recommend Valerie. This was my first time using Rover and was apprehensive about leaving our fur baby with someone I didn't know. Not only did she take wonderful care of Brea but she sent multiple pictures showing us how her day was going. When you meet Valerie you can see how passionate she is with the animals she cares for. Valerie is very welcoming, and after meeting her you will feel like shes a good friend you have had most of your life.”

“Oh my goodness. I can not say enough good things about Patience and her husband. They were so great to my little guy. I was so nervous to leave my little guy. I had never left him before but we were vacation and my daughter wanted to go snorkeling. Not a service dog friendly activity. Patience put us at ease from the second we walked up to her door. She was super friendly and just loved my Ewok. She sent me tons of pictures throughout his stay to show me how he was doing. It made this mommy heart happy! It helped me focus on my two legged kiddo knowing my 4 legged kiddo was safe and being well cared for. Thank you so much!”

“Aurora was awesome! We didn’t worry about our two boys at all with her watching them while we went snorkeling. 1. She came to pick up our boys at 7am at our hotel. She was on time even though it was really early. She even had an impact crate in her car in case of bad/crazy drivers. 2. She sent us very detailed updates including pictures, number of water breaks, and potty breaks. 3. She brought our boys back to the hotel twice! We missed her the first time, our fault, but she was super sweet about it. 4. Our boys came back looking happy and tired! Their step counter logged crazy numbers! Thank you Aurora! Maybe we will see you again one day!”
“Susan and her family kept our two dogs for us all day, and they had a blast! She was so sweet to send photos and updates. It was so helpful and put us at ease to know they were in good hands all day :)”
“Katrina was wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her! 💕”
“Highly highly recommended - awesome experienced, professional and our pups love Amberly and the playmates. If you are in vacationing in Florida and needs dog(s) sitter, highly recommend Amberly C. I wish I could more stars, that much we had the best experienced with this dog-day care sitter.”

“Natalie did a fantastic job of taking care of Pippin! I think the best endorsement was offered by Pippin herself. When dropping Pippin off for the second time, she went straight up to Natalie, and when I wasn’t quick enough to leave, win right up to Natalie‘s door as if to say, “We’re good, and you can go.“. Natalie did a fantastic job of communicating during the visit and providing feedback at pick up. She also takes great pictures. ? I heartily endorse Natalie.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 8. I love all animals and would be happy to care for your fur baby any time!! I have a mini schnauzer named Apple who splits her time between here and Orlando (where my fiance is)- she is the sweetest dog I have ever met (I know everyone says this but I swear it’s true😂)! She is currently with me here in Panama City but I will try to remember to update this when she goes back to Orlando :) I am currently a full time student with classes every morning Tuesday-Friday. I know my schedule far in advance, so availability won't be a problem! Send me a message if you have any questions :) I will watch after your fur babies and treat them like my own! Just let me know your care preferences and I will accommodate them!
About: Quick note about availability. I am available in the evenings until 7pm most days & pretty flexible to offer same day services. Unfortunately the app doesn’t allow any customizations to the time slot (3-10pm). So if you need an evening slot or same day please request a service and message me. I most likely will be able to accommodate and will respond quickly. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for all kinds of pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, & fish! I currently have two kitties who are my whole world, so I know just how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. I currently have 2 kitties. Both extremely needy and one with several allergies. My past dog babies were a collie, border collie, & black lab. So all extremely high energy. I would take them on walks/runs and had many acres for them to run as well. My collie was a show girl and our favorite was the agility portion. That’s where she was happiest. Running through the course (way faster than me) and showing off her tricks. She was with me since I was a little kid, & was my independent queen! My lab was a duck hunter turned snuggle buddy when she decided loud noises, & early mornings, weren’t her thing. She found her calling was actually to sleep in take naps snuggled up by me. Lastly my border collie was my baby boy and best companion with me through all my life changes! He never left my side, was my perfect protector and helped in herding our ducks (which didn’t need to be herd but I wasn’t going to stop his dream) All my doggos sadly have since crossed the rainbow bridge where I am sure they are all playing 24/7 together. After recently moving to sunny Florida & from Missouri where I adopted 2 kitties. I took a step away from the corporate world. I’m excited to slow down and spend my days doing something I truly love — caring for animals! Back in Missouri, I volunteered at my local animal shelter where I spent time walking dogs, playing with the animals, and giving plenty of head scratches and belly rubs. I’ve also fostered kittens and have years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pets while they were away. I currently offer drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, and with enough notice I can often accommodate a variety of days and times. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away! 🐾 After 15 years in big box retail management, I decided it was time to slow down and focus on doing what I truly love. I recently left my corporate career, moved from Missouri to sunny Florida, and now work part-time helping my husband with his business — which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your fur babies! 🐾 I’m happy to stop by and make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! Whether they need potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, treats, belly rubs, or just someone to check in and make sure they haven’t gotten into the trash, I’ll treat them like my own and give them lots of love and attention during every visit. 🐾
“Ava is awesome!! Takes great care of Bailey and is communicative and super nice! She really cares and takes the time with Bailey and Bailey loved her from the start! Happy to have Ava!”
“Cranesha was so loving and caring with Ody. I loved the pictures and text messages she sent me when she was walking him. He was so happy on his walk. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I was raised in Colorado, spending my summers with all types of animals from dogs, cats, goats, cows, horses, and chickens. I am very comfortable around animals, especially dogs and cats. I have taken care of all ages of both dogs and cats from kittens and puppies to senior pets (Thanks Mom and Dad!). I have experience training basic commands to puppies, working with anxious dogs, and caring for senior dogs and cats. I am comfortable administering medications to puppies, special needs, or senior dogs. I am very reliable and aim to provide the best service to every pet and pet parent. I'm patient, kind and love animals. I recently switched from watching pets full-time back to technical writing with the Navy. I have an early schedule that allows me to spend a good part of the day with your pets. While I am at work, I have Furbo cameras set up so I can keep an eye on everyone and throw them treats if they are feeling restless. I have it set up where my dogs will be kept separate to ensure safety. I live in a 3-bedroom home with a large fenced yard and swimming pool. My entryway has double doors that adds a second layer of security for pets during drop-off and pick-up. I have 3 dogs of my own that are very friendly as we have been doing this for quite some time. The two little dogs keep to themselves as they are older. My golden loves every one and every thing. She makes for the perfect playmate. In case your dog is over-stimulated or just needs a break, I have a way to separate my dogs using baby gates so that we are all still together in the same living area but can rest. I also have four crates here, if needed. Safety is my number one priority!
About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for 5 years so far. I still do. I have 5 dogs and 6 cats. I have experience with snakes, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and spiders! I have pet sat for years. I am currently in Vet Tech school and am planning on going to Veterinary Medicine school after! I am currently working part time so I will have lots of time to play with and care for your pets like they’re my own. I am ambiance to work 7 days a week and am always egar to meet more animals. I will always watch out for your animals like I do my own. I will follow any rules or safety concerns you may have. All fur babies are the best.
About: I grew up on a farm and have cared for different types of pets and animals my whole life. I have always had a dog in my life to love, nurture, and be my best friend. I have worked at a doggy daycare and assisted with training classes and can administer medicines, ointments, etc. We have a fenced backyard with a pool if yours loves the water. I am reliable, loyal, caring, and organized. I have over 40+ years of experience as an Administrative Assistant, Organizer, Cook, Baker, Cake Decorator, Event Planner, and Pet Lover. I have been happily married for 34 years, a proud mom of my 26-year-old son, Dustin, and a devoted Aunt to 22 nieces and nephews. Give me a call so I can meet your "family member" who will be well taken care of and loved while in our home or yours. I currently work from home so my schedule is my own. I am flexible with my time and your family member would have a second home with me. I have a fenced yard with a pool for the water lovers. I am around all the time, allowing for walking and playtime. Your family member would not be alone unless I went out to eat, do errands, etc. I also have a small 11-pound friendly Chiwawa to keep them company.
About: I love animals! 🐶😺 and they normally love me back just as much! I have been around cats and dogs my whole life. If I’m at a friends house you can find me wherever the pet is - I’ll be petting, holding or talking to the animal (yes I talk to pets hehe). I love going for dog walks (humans need their exercise too!). I live on a busy street so it’s exciting for dogs when they are able to look out the window while lounging on the couch and see all the action going on. My kitchen windows are low to the ground so pets can easily look out the window also. I have a large backyard with a privacy fence on all sides for the pups to run around in or suntan. I’ve watched many different breeds of dogs and many sizes ranging from a Rat Terrier to a Great Dane. My parents live next door to me so when not pet sitting I normally visit my pet brother. I work from home so your pet and I will have lots of time to bond together. I have references upon request from those pet owners. I can assure you your pet will be in good hands, but give me the chance to show rather than tell you 😊

“She did a great job keeping my baby! It was a last minute thing and I am so glad it worked out! I paid extra to have him groomed and he looks as cute as a button! I highly recommend her services!”
“Our pups love Aurora more than us I feel like haha! That’s how well she takes care of them and loves on them. We know they are in the best hands with her and they look forward to visiting. :)”
“Anna was wonderful. She kept me updated on how Kona was doing each day. Kona was happy and loved being able to play with the kids on her vacation. I would definitely recommend Anna!!”
“Marina and her family were absolutely incredible. Buddha was treated like the family dog and made me feel at such peace knowing where she was. Our flight home was delayed due to a snow storm and Marina was quick to help and treated us with patience/understanding. Will be using again!”
“Shannon was absolutely fabulous! My husband and I were in town to have our wedding with all of our friends and family and had planned on keeping our sweet baby with us but decided it would be best to find someone to watch him since we would be so busy over those few days. I was super nervous leaving my buddy but Shannon reassured me and even checked in throughout the few days she had him and she even sent picture updates! She was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you did!”
“Jennifer exudes a soft kindness that comforted us in leaving our furbaby with her. Gypsy was excited to come home but we also noticed how much she loved her doggy vacay with Jennifer and her family the way she interacted with Jennifer. And she also came back so clean :D”
“Our dog Tink stayed with Angela and her fam for 7 nights while we were down at the beach for vaca. We got pics and updates along the way. Our dog was very happy and well cared for. She is so tired now from all the good playtime. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“Destiny was absolutely wonderful with Athena! She sent me pics and updates the whole time she stayed there. I will definitely be using Destiny from now on, and now I feel comfortable being able to go out of town knowing Athena is in great hands with Destiny!”
“Paola is great dog sitter took my dogs for walks and showed her a lot of attention which I appreciated because she’s never stayed away from me! A great experience she’s knows a lot about dogs and is beyond qualified! Definitely would use her again!”
“Cathryn is wonderful! She communicates in a timely manner, and our little dog, Daisy, seems very comfortable with her. We had an issue getting back into town on time, but Cathryn was understanding and was able to work with us for an extra day (we're so appreciative!!). She's pretty great. I'll happily ask her to watch Daisy for us in the future.”
“From the meet and greet to the end of her stay Athena enjoyed herself. Brittany provided a safe clean and loving environment and I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service. She sent plenty of pictures during Athena’s stay and she communicated every step of the way. I will definitely be booking with her again”
“Jessie was excellent! She was very responsive to my messages and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. My dog has separation anxiety and can be a little nervous when I’m away, but Jessie handled it with so much patience and care. I could tell my pup felt comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Katelyn was incredible! It was a last minute decision for us to find a pet sitter for the weekend and she welcomed them with open arms! We loved the daily photos and videos, and our pups loved her family 🖤 Thank youuuu!!”
“My first experience using Rover, and the sitters were absolutely fantastic! Wendy & Rob were so kind to my doggies. They truly treated them like their own. Can not speak highly enough of my experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!!”
