Desiree was amazing! I can not leave a better review. She took care of our dog, and our cat, and both took to her like they’ve know her their whole lives. She was very attentive to my type A attention to detail. And she gave us tons of photos. I hope she can watch them or check in again soon!

Had both a great drop in and a great walk experience with Will. Good communication, both our dogs warmed up to him quickly and he sent us photos on both his visits to our house. Thanks!

About: I am currently studying Biology with a Pre-Veterinary focus. As an owner of three older dogs, I have had the experience of raising them up. I enjoy investing all my time in to giving them happy lives. I volunteer at the animal shelter and have gained much knowledge from how to properly care for animals. I have been pet sitting for a few years now, and I enjoy walking dogs anytime I can! I will provide my services for your animals! I am currently an offseason student-athlete. I am very open to walking dogs anytime of day. I typically walk dogs in early morning or evenings due to heat. I am widely flexible! I care for pets in a careful and loving way. I understand the expectations of each client, and their care needs. I will give them exercise and care.

We were scrambling last minute for a sitter for our cat, and luckily ran across Hack. He was great with our guy, and great to keep us updated on how he was while we were away. We didn’t worry at all. Highly recommend! ❤️

About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Pack! Need a vacation for your pet while you’re on vacation? We’re a military family in Niceville that treats every dog like they’re part of the family—not a customer. My wife and I have spent our entire lives around animals, from tiny Shih Tzus to giant Great Danes, and just about everything in between. Our home is full of love, attention, belly rubs, and the occasional debate over who gets to spoil your dog the most. We have two animal-loving kids who are always excited to make new furry friends, plus our resident welcoming committee: 🐶 Winnie – our playful Boston Terrier who thinks every dog is her new best friend. If your pup wants to play winnie is their bestest bud. If your pup is unsure and wants space, winnie senses that and is quite ok cuddling on the couch. 🐱 Luggage – our cat who is convinced he’s actually a dog and happily hangs out with everyone. 🐱 Benny Franks - our curious guy who loves to sit up high and supervise the fun! Whether your pet loves playing in the yard, lounging on the couch, going for walks, or simply getting extra attention, we’ll tailor their stay to what makes them happiest. Why pet parents choose us: ✅ Active-duty military family you can trust ✅ Experienced with small, medium, and large breeds ✅ Comfortable with puppies, seniors, and special routines ✅ Frequent photo and video updates ✅ Safe, loving family environment ✅ Plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles We understand how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind. That’s why we treat every dog as if they were our own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your trip knowing they’re having a great time too. By the time you pick them up, don’t be surprised if they act like they’ve been on vacation too. We can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾 We both work full time but Pina is off Mondays and I can always come home during lunch to take care of the puppers. Someone’s home by 3pm and we’re available almost every weekend. I have a huge fenced in 1/2 acre back yard with plenty of area to run and let out energy. Plus Winnie loves to run and play with dogs of every size! We’ll play soccer with the pups and get plenty of fetch and walks in! I can crate the pups if necessary and have plenty of healthy treats!

About: I have had dogs pretty much my entire life, and I have cared for other people’s dogs multiple times through Rover. I am excited to meet new dog friends, and so is my dog! I make my own schedule, so I can run home to let dogs out, take them for walks, and feed them whenever they need! I work close to home as well, so I never leave for very long. I care for pets in other’s home in the same way I care for pets in my home: with lots of love and toys! I keep my home clean, but I always have dog toys around the house.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, and have lots of experience pet-sitting and dog-walking. I love playing with dogs and am comfortable with all types and sizes. I'm a college student at UWF in Pensacola and am available outside of class hours. My evenings are usually free during the work week, and my weekends are largely open. I make sure that your pets get lots of belly scratches and treats (with your permission of course) and that they are always fed, given water, and taken out for walks and potty breaks however often they need. I'll make sure to give them lots of love, and I'll send you plenty of photos so you can see how your pets are doing!

Heather was awesome!! We’ve only had our dog for a few months so we were incredibly nervous to leave him at home when we went out of town for a family function. I hired Heather to do 4x/day check-ins, and she totally went above and beyond! First off, she took the job with almost no notice since our original arrangement fell through at the last minute, which was huge. When we were out, she spent hours hanging out and walking with our boy, and even stayed the night at the house with him of her own volition. She sent plenty of pictures every day so we never had a doubt that he was living his best life, I think he was a little depressed when she left. She was extremely communicative and asked questions when she wasn’t 100% sure on something, so we felt completely at ease being thousands of miles away and knowing our that our boy was getting the care and attention he needed. Bottom line, as much as I would love to keep Heather on retainer as our exclusive dog sitter, it’s my moral imperative to recommend her to as many people as possible because she’s completely awesome :)

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.

About: I have taken care of a dog/dog since I was young. I am honest and reliable, and actually worked in a dog and cat boarding daycare before. P.S I did not get fired I quit!! Helping you out would fit in my routine just fine! I don’t have any work right now and when I do, I am self-employed which would make helping you out easier I am very trustworthy and would take care of your home just as you would! I have dog-sat on Rover before and have babysat plenty of times as well

First time using Rover, and Astrid was wonderful watching our puppy while we were gone for a night! She really explained how everything worked and was really patient when it came to our potty-training puppy. She took so many photos and in-depth reports on her visit, which we loved getting while we were away. Would definitely recommend!

Once again, William saved the day and eased my anxiety! He is hand down THE best pet sitter/walker/BFF to my two dogs! He is so kind and caring and such a great communicator. He thinks of all the things I forgot and take amazing care of my 2 high maintenance dogs. I never worried the entire day (10 hours I was gone) and normally I would be racked with worry and guilt. William is my favorite person in Florida!

Esperanza and Jeffrey are life-savers! We have the hardest time finding a dogsitter with the patience and experience to take care of our special needs pups. They have done a fantastic job building a relationship with our anxious girl and reactive/fearful boy. Our usually difficult dogs have been happy and stress-free under their watch, and it is evident in their behavior and actually eating their food while we are away. Jeffrey and Esperanza always send detailed updates with pictures, and have been flexible with us as our plans have changed. If you have a unique situation and/or difficult pups, we cannot recommend them enough!
