“Cheryl is amazing and can always be counted on, no matter the situation. Responsive, reliable, respectful, easy to work with, and our kitties are lucky to have her dropping in to take care of them.”
“Anna was amazing! We have 3 dogs in the 55-60lb range, and she was so patient with the 2 anxious ones who needed a bit more time to warm up to her. Once they did, they loved her. She came to our house to care for them while we were away and sent us updates with pictures regularly. We're all big fans and will definitely be asking her to watch the pups when we go out of town again!”
“Clarissa was great to work with and took good care of my girl! Easy to communicate with, was extremely considerate and kind. Will gladly book with her again in the future!”
“Kathryn was so amazing! She sent daily pictures and updates to me, giving me peace of mind & security. I also had to cut my trip short and she was so sweet and accommodating! I’m def booking with her in the future! You can tell that she really cares and loves what she does :)”

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: My neighbors rely on my heavily to cat and dog sit for them. I love all animals and i own a few exotic animals myself! I currently am a college student with a lot of freetime and I love to include animals in my daily life and I need some extra cash to help pay for college! I live on an acre lot (completely fenced). I have a beagle and golden retriever to keep company. I also have several crates and different rooms to house the pets if they need to be separated!!

About: I’ve always loved animals and am comfortable petsitting all kinds of pets! With my volunteer experience at an animal shelter, I am also comfortable administering topical and oral medication, if necessary. I work full time, but am available to drop by in the mornings, after work in the late afternoon, and in the evenings. Can do weekends as well! I have base access so pet sitting on base is not an issue! When pet sitting, I obviously always prioritize keeping the water full and giving pets the appropriate amount of food. Making sure the environment is clean is a big one - like ensuring any accidents are cleaned up.
About: Have had 6 years experience with dogs and have petsat for multiple friends, family, or family friends. I have a fenced yard and always willing to go for walks. Used to volunteer at an animal shelter in college Available every day since I usually stay at home due to flexible work schedule or in the local area to study. Usually free to outdoor activities or be a stay at home body I have a fenced yard and a 1700 sq foot home with no roommates or other pets! Animals are available to roam all over the house freely and I am more than welcome to keep them out of a crate if they are trained and do not have a history or chewing on furniture
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: 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.
“Ashlea is fantastic! Our dog loved her. She really took her time and did multiple things with her on her drop in visits to ware her out. She did a great job at communicating and sent amazing pictures ?”
“Darsy was absolutely amazing with my 16-week-old puppy. She was consistently reliable, punctual, and genuinely caring. It's clear she loves dogs! We hope to rebook her when she’s back in our neck of the woods.”
About: I offer a level of expertise that goes far beyond a standard walk. My journey began with training and caring for German Shepherds at a tender age, which taught me the importance of clear communication and specialized handling. I specialize in high-energy dogs and pups that just need a little more intention to their development. Drawing inspiration from professional handlers like Cesar Milan, I incorporate cycling and movement to help high-energy, stubborn, or anxious 'fur babies' find their calm through physical fulfillment. I am also experienced in clinical support, including administering pills, topical treatments, and injections. Whether your dog is a high-performance athlete needing a bike run or a senior dealing with cognitive or mobility decline, I provide the seasoned, non-judgmental, and unconditional care they deserve. I live by the philosophy that a fulfilled dog is a happy dog, and I treat every client's pet with the same patience I give my own reactive pup. Pet care isn't just a job; it’s the core of my daily routine. Because I focus exclusively on mobile care (visits and walks), my entire day is structured around my 'Roaming Rover' missions. My mornings and afternoons are dedicated to high-energy exercise sessions—like cycling or brisk walks—ensuring your dogs are physically and mentally tired by the time you get home. Because I don’t board dogs in my own home, my schedule is 100% open to prioritize your pets in their most comfortable environment: yours. I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by conducting a full sweep of the dog’s surroundings upon entry. I carry a professional-grade first aid kit, including cooling gear and medical essentials, to handle the Florida heat. My years of experience means I am hyper-aware of environmental triggers, ensuring your pet remains secure, hydrated, and calm throughout our entire session.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Valparaiso
We can always count on Caron even when a literal disaster strikes. She lovingly checked in on our cats during the hurricane, which was stressful for us, but she reassured us at every opportunity and also took care of their meds and made sure they had everything they needed.
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!
Erika did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Tig. I really appreciate that she spent time with him and even went the extra step to refresh his water and sweep up. This is the second time she’s watched Tig, and she continues to be reliable and caring. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Valparaiso is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 837 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Valparaiso. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
