About: I’ve taken care of multiple dog breeds throughout my life. Ranging from bloodhounds, German shepherds, to Belgian Malinois and others. I’m very familiar with working dog breeds and have trained myself own Belgian Malinois. No matter what need your furry family member needs, I will ensure it is met and exceeded. Currently I’m in the Army National Guard so I have tons of availability and free time to devote to animals and pet care. I also spend tons of time outside and hiking with my Belgian Malinois. I have a wooden fully fenced in back yard. I also am familiar with escapee dogs and am very quick to respond to many situations when needed. I am not afraid of confrontation so that is not a worry either.
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: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, from fostering and caring for pets to gaining hands-on experience with wildlife rehabilitation growing up. Those experiences taught me patience, how to read animal behavior, and how to stay calm and attentive when an animal has unique needs. I also have a dog of my own who is a tripod, so I understand firsthand that every pet may require a different level of care, mobility support, patience, and routine. My background in healthcare has made me especially detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable following specific care instructions. Most importantly, I’m outgoing, compassionate, and genuinely love building trust with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and ensuring they have fun while their owners are away. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, potty breaks, and fresh air can easily be part of our day. I’m also happy to adjust my routine around your pet’s normal schedule, whether that means specific feeding times, medications, extra exercise, or just plenty of snuggles and company. I have a medium sized 25 pound female dog who is incredibly friendly and loves to play with all sized dogs but also does a fantastic job minding her own business if another dog isn’t interested. I live in an apartment complex with two large fenced dog parks and are within walking distance of many safe trails. Additionally I have two dog washing stations here if needed! In client homes I am incredibly respectful and very trustworthy of whatever rules and wishes are stated to ensure the highest level of care for your pet!
About: Hey there! I’m LeeAnn 🙃 I’m here to help with your cutest, cuddly kitty and sweetest pupper needs! Whether I’m popping in for potty breaks, a quick stroll or making sure Whiskers can’t see there’s an empty spot in the food bowl (Cat parents, am I right?) Honestly I’m looking for something that allows the ability to create my own “flexible” schedule and be more present for my kiddos..the less furrier ones, although they act like wild animals! 🤪 I follow the instructions of the owners requests! In the summertime I am very mindful of the heat* I take a lot of shorter walks for the safety of myself and the dog - I want them to get their energy out but also don’t want the hot pavement burning their paws and/or a heat stroke for the animal nor myself. A lot of inside play consist of toy play! But again, I’m always going to be mindful of owner requests/demands

I do leave food and water out for the pups to eat when ready, unless stated otherwise by the owner. If there is any specific care routine the owner wants I will abide by those rules. Thank you for your time, hope to hear from you soon. Im home all day everyday including weekend. Ill be able to watch over the pets and follow any special routines you have for your fluffy baby. We would go where ever your comfortable with me taking your pet. We will play tug of war and fetch, they will also have a chance to play with their new friends. Also your puppy could bring his/hers favorite toy so she would play with if we do not have a fun toy she/he likes.
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 prioritize socialization and I can reinforce basic skills. We have lots of toys and play outside too. I stay at home so I have lots of time to provide care and attention. 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.

“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’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.
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
