“Caron is great! She is so thoughtful and dependable. So easy to communicate with and we love the photo updates. She’s even helped out with last minute walks. We look forward to booking her again!”
“First time using any kind of service like this. Alex has been amazing. She came over to meet the boys and they were so comfortable around her. My very anxious dog was licking her hand and coming close to her which he doesn’t do with new people. She sent me pictures during their walk and how their walk went. I have set up weekly walks with her now. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I start my mornings by getting my son to school between 8:30-9. Mondays & Thursdays I Work From Home with 1 dog. Tuesday Wednesday & Thursdays I’m Working In Destin. Bubba has soccer now so we attend practices and games. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
About: Hi there! I’m Paige! I’m a 27-year-old, born-and-raised Floridian who recently moved to the Panhandle with my two Pomskys, Duke and Charley. My boys are 2 and 3, full of energy, and the absolute sweetest, so I’m very well-versed in cuddles, long walks, playtime, and keeping pups happy and entertained! I live in the Downtown Destin area and work remotely full-time, which means my weekdays are flexible and I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your pup some extra love and attention while you’re away. I’d love to help out fellow animal lovers in the area and make sure your dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Whether they need a midday walk, some playtime, a potty break, or just a little company, I’m happy to help! Your pup will be treated like family! I work a fully remote position, so I’m home with my own dogs throughout the day and regularly take them out for walks and breaks. That flexibility also allows me to give your pup plenty of attention and care while you’re away! If your dog is more comfortable in their own home, I’m happy to spend time with them there while my dogs stay home. Or, if they’re social and would enjoy some company, they’re welcome to come hang out at my house with my two friendly boys, Duke and Charley! When visiting your home, I’ll always be respectful of your space, privacy, and any house rules you have in place. I want your pup to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible, so please let me know about any routines, favorite toys, preferred rooms, treats, or special instructions. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel just like home!

About: Hi! I have always been surrounded with all kinds of pets, ever since I can remember. I was always the one to take on more responsibility than my siblings for our family pets, and started sitting when I was 16! From feeding and walking, to administering medication and bathing.. I can do it all and take care of your pets as if they were my own! I work regular office hours, with an hour lunch in the middle of the day which I can use to come care for your furry babies! I am excited to give your pets the best care in the space that is the most comfortable for them! They get to stay at home or walked around the neighborhood, meaning less stress for your little pal
“Victoria is really great! She has a confidence that let's you know she can handle any situation that may arise when taking care of your fur babies. My dog Stormy prefers a calm energy from her sitters and while Victoria is confident she uses a calm approach, allowing my dog to greet her on her own curious terms before reaching out and touching her. So far they went on a walk which Stormy enjoyed as evident by the zoomies, smile, and wagging tail she came home with from her walk with Victoria. Will definitely hire Victoria again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cat since I could walk!! Half of my family owns farms so Dogs, Cats, Pigs, Cows, Sheep, you name it! You can count on me to treat your fur babies like they are my own. I currently am working full time. On the days I do work, I usually am scheduled from 9am-5pm or 3-11pm at the latest. It’s truly no hassle since my work schedule is very flexible so we can definitely work out something based on the needs of your babies ❤️ In my clients home, my first thing that I do is try to make it as comfortable and stress free for your fur baby. I make them acquainted with who I am and make sure they get all their sniffs in. I love going on walks and playing, or if your baby is a couch potato I can take on that role as well.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valparaiso
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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
