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: 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: 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 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: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for over 7 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 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.

About: I love animals. All of them! I have always loved animals since I was a little girl. I love spending time with animals, loving on them, playing with them and teaching them new tricks! It would be a privilege to care and love on your furbaby while you are at work, out of town or just need a few hours to yourself! I prefer to stay local in the Niceville,FL area. I am willing to accomodate Destin but depends how far the client is. Let me care for your furry family member today! Now that I am a stay at home mother and wife, I have a lot more free time to devote in caring for your pet. My schedule is pretty flexible so don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! I would be more than excited to love on your furry friend today! I have a fenced in yard with ample room for your pet to roam around in. I also am able to crate your pet if need be. You would just need to provide the crate and anything else you would want your pet to have to make sure his/her stay is a comfortable one.

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.

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!

About: I’ve always had pets. I grew up with dogs, cats and now chickens I had a pit bull named Molly Elizabeth for 12 years. She had a wonderful life with my family. The new addition to the household is Sadie Mae. She is a furry Golden ball of energy! She is well taken care of and spoiled. I would love the opportunity to spoil your pets too. I’m currently working part-time, I’ll have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets as needed, full-time. Having a dog of my own, my previous experience with pets, and my growing experience with Rover, pet care is more than just a side hustle for me. It’s a lifestyle. This makes me equipped to handle a variety of needs. I take great care of my dog and chickens. Attention to detail is important. Thank you for your consideration in trusting me to care for your pets and home too.

Ursula was perfect. She took exceptional care of our dog Baloo for more than 2 weeks. Our Baloo was always excited to see her. It is clear they bonded. We plan to use Ursula as often as possible when we need Baloo looked after. We highly recommend Ursula to care for your pet.
