About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for over 9 years, and I currently share my home with six animals of my own, so I truly understand how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. I absolutely love both dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just needs a calm companion, I’m happy to match their pace and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Because I’m a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m reliable, attentive, and love sending updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is having a great time. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱 I'm currently working part time two days a week as a registered nurse. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my own pets and volunteering at Panhandle animal welfare society in their clinic, recovering dogs and cats after spay/neuter surgery, as well as walking dogs. When I am caring for your animals, I will be focused on their needs 100%. I've been caring for animals in foster, at the shelter where I volunteer and at my home for the last nine years.

About: I have two cats of my own that I’ve loved to pieces for ten years. I’ve learned how to respect cats needs and space or desire for attention. Cats are the sweetest animals and I can’t wait to give special attention to yours.
“Kelsie was incredible. We were gone about 2 weeks and she provided daily check-ins of our 2 fur-baby cats and our scale-baby bearded dragon. She took in the extra tasks of watering plants and bringing in packages, and also giving our cats treats and playing with them. I was afraid I was overloading poor Kelsie with our detailed instructions but she was amazing and I felt relieved to have someone so capable and reliable watching our home and our pets. Thank you Kelsie and I highly recommend her to anyone.”

“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.

About: I work from home through the week and have a black Labrador retriever at home to keep your pets company! I have a fenced in backyard (although it’s small I am able to take animals out frequently through the day). I am also able to take animals on walks/runs in the day as I take mine on a 2 mile walk every day in the mornings before it gets too hot I work from home through the week and I rarely travel on the weekends. Although my job can be demanding at times, I will always have a couple of minutes to let the animals out into the yard, and I have lunch hours to walk dogs when necessary! I have to e upstairs sectioned off and I work downstairs as well so I will always have eyes on your babies. I have a larger crate in the living room and can separate my dog from your animals if needed for feedings etc. We have a spare bedroom that can be for your animal if they prefer to sleep alone and away from other dogs. I will always be able to provide photos, and can even send videos or video call if you need to lay eyes on your baby at any point!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for dogs.

Now that I’m settled, I’m excited to offer boarding and drop-in visits for your furry family members! My three daughters love helping out and are gentle, playful, and hands-on with feeding, playtime, and giving lots of love.

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: As a dog owner for the past 20 years I know the stress of worrying about your pets when you can't take them with you. I want to take some of that stress and worry away by providing a fun loving place for your pets to stay. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 15 years. As a stay at home mom your pets will get a lot of love and attention. I also have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. Rest assured your pets will be well loved and cared for while you are away. I currently work for myself from home, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility. Also, my two teens are usually home in the afternoons and on the weekends so there’s always somebody here with the animals. . I have two beagles that are super chill and super friendly. I also have a huge yard on a corner cul-de-sac that’s completely fenced in so there’s plenty of room for them to run around in the backyard as well as take daily walks.
About: Hey everyone! I'm Desireé, I'm extremely excited to meet you and your best friend(s). I have fur babies of my own that are super spoiled. I know first hand how it can sometimes be hard or impossible to kennel them or find someone trust worthy enough at the last minute to watch your pups so that's what I want to do for you. It also breaks my heart when I hear about dogs having to stay inside all day or inside a crate due to their owners hectic schedules and I don't mind taking the time out of my day to help you out and make your pup happy! Especially if you're military and always gone or just have an insane work schedule I can help!

“Caron was such a joy to work with! She took such great care of my Luna, who was excited everyday to arrive at her house! She sent me great updates and pictures, and it was obvious Luna was having a blast with Caron’s pups! I highly recommend her to watch your dogs! So glad we found Caron, Luna is already excited to go back!”

“Caron is the absolute best!! She helped us with walking our Newfoundland on super short notice for a few days. She was so considerate in the way she cared for our baby- refreshing her water and taking lots of extra steps to make sure our pup was happy before she left. The pictures and text updates were definitely appreciated too. We will absolutely be seeking out Caron’s help for any future needs!”

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.
“Rebekah was so wonderful with our pups when she watched them on our recent vacation. She communicated and sent pictures with each visit of all the fun they were having. Seeing that they were being taken such good care of really helped me to enjoy my trip. She made sure to ask questions to make sure any special instructions were clear and really made everything just right bc when we returned home, the dogs were just as happy as they could be! Rebekah's love of animals is evident by the way she interacts with them, and especially the ease with which she was able to bond with and handle my sweet, but beastly, German Shepherd lol. I will definitely be booking with Rebekah again and I know my dogs will be excited when I do!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I grew up with several cats and always was the neighborhood kid who would pet sit the neighbor’s dogs. I still have my cat Dabney, a torti with sass who now roams our home like we bought it for her. In considering other pets, I would follow their daily schedule and give lots of pets. I am able to do drop in visits for your pets on the weekends. I do not charge extra for holidays. I am comfortable with small to large dogs, taking them for walks, or pet sitting multiple animals. I work full time, and take care of pets on the weekends. Perfect for a weekend getaway for locals who can’t take their pets with them. I do not charge extra for holidays. My cat is very spoiled with many windows for perfect bird viewing, a yard to explore and gets many pets when sleeping next to me. For clients, I would follow their pets schedule, feed, walk, clean litter, and give pets.

About: I've been fostering puppies locally since 2022. All the effort and mess (let's be real) is worth it for puppy breath and dog snuggles.

I am not away from the house for more than an hour or so, for any dogs that need close attention. I have a fenced back yard and a dedicated room inside the home. I have a pen, a large crate as well as a medium crate.

As an avid runner, I'm also thrilled to take dogs on invigorating runs, making sure they get plenty of exercise and fun. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to play with and care for your pups. As a full-time college student with most of my classes being online, I have the flexibility to be available for pet walking, drop-in visits, and in-home care. This flexible schedule allows me to dedicate ample time to ensure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. Your pets' well-being is my priority, and I'm committed to providing them with the best care possible. At my home, I have two dogs with opposite personalities: one is crate-trained, and the other roams freely, so I'm well-versed in accommodating different pet preferences and routines.

In my clients' homes, I maintain the pet's usual routine to minimize stress. This includes feeding, walking, playing, and providing any special care they might need. As an avid runner, I'm also happy to take your dog on energizing runs if requested, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and enjoyment.

About: Thanks for taking an opportunity to discover more about me and what I may be able to offer you, your friends, and your family. I grew up modestly but rich with pet friends. I’m a dog person at heart and most dogs know it as soon as we meet. I’m a retired military guy in the area with a wife and 2 daughters. We own a 10 year old American bulldog named LuLu. I understand the need for good, reliable pet care options. So if some Rover providers can’t support your 2 a.m. dog walk/house call request. Give me a shot, I just might be your best solution. Thanks again for considering me. I’m recently retired and finding that I have so much time and even more energy to give. If you have a schedule that is not typical of the 9-5 work day, I understand. I have the same lived experience. I don’t offer boarding services at this time due to my favorite pup LuLu and her inability to socialize with other animals in her home.

I have references available upon request! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! My availability is pretty open! I do currently work full time Monday through Friday 8am- 5pm however, I would love to help before work, after work, on my lunch breaks, and on the weekends. I can make adjustments and my schedule can be flexible so just message me to see if we can work something out. Your dogs will be well taken care of when they are with me. I have a fenced in yard, two extremely sweet fur babies of my own that love to play and make new friends. We also have an abundance of treats and toys. I am well versed in giving oral medications, injections, wrapping injured paws and much more. I can help your fur kid with whatever they may need.

About: I grew up in Niceville on a farm with many dogs, cats and chickens! I have a love for all animals and have always owned a cat or dog, or fish even! Also would work with hamsters, guinea pigs etc. I own a maltese named Zeus, he is 5 years old and very submissive but playful. My mother adopted her maltese from Alaqua Animal Refuge 2 years ago and I have helped train him. He has anxiety and trust issues, but he is getting to be more calm. I believe in dogs having a routine for feeding and going out, also a cuddle spot on the floor nearby where I am. I take my dog on car rides as often as I can. My 16 year old son also is available to help me and loves animals also. I'm a licensed massage therapist and work very few days a week.

“We had such a wonderful first experience boarding our sweet Cadiz with Alexandra! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was being cared for with so much love and attention. Alexandra sent detailed daily updates, adorable happy photos, and communicated so thoughtfully throughout his stay, which meant so much to us. It was clear Cadiz was truly enjoying himself, especially making best of friends with her adorable dog Apollo! 🐾 Through photos we saw that Cadiz was showered with cuddles, belly rubs, affection, and genuine care, and we could tell he felt comfortable and loved in her home. We are beyond grateful for the kindness and attentiveness she showed him. We will absolutely continue using Alexandra for future dog sitting and boarding, and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and communicative to care for their pup. Thank you again, Alexandra! 🤍”


“Ashlea was SPECTACULAR. She will be our first choice for any future boarding. We received daily updates with pictures and videos which gave is such peace of mind while we were away, knowing that our pup was not just taken care of, but happy and having fun. Her dog Maple was sweet and friendly, shared well, and became fast friends with our Maple! HIGHLY recommend!”

“First time using her services and we are very pleased with the care our dog Oscar received while in her care. It shows that she is a dog lover, super nice lady. Oscar definitely was spoiled in her home. We will be using her services again in the near future. Thanks Jeannette!”
