“Ashley is personable & great with our Lily. We usually don’t have her stay over on first visit but was very accommodating and great on last minute notice with situation. Ashley has an adorable little boy and great! Will highly recommend & will use again !! Thank you !!”
“Emily is wonderful because she has a peaceful and calm demeanor and she truly cares for your pet. I will definitely bring my dog, who is 14.5 years old, back to Emily to take care of her, when I come back for vacation. Thank you, Emily, for your outstanding care and support.”
“Miriah was fantastic! Made sure I was updated with pictures at least once a day. Took my dog for activity every day and communicated well with me to make sure he was getting the best care possible. Will definitely use her again in the future if the need arises”
“Majorca to the rescue again!!!!! Max has a fantastic time with her and her family when we go out of town. The pictures assure me that he is being spoiled just like he would be at home with us! Majorca, I want to publicly say “thank you so much for sharing your time with Max!””
“Karina is the best dog sitter ever! She or her husband is always home with the dogs. She sends pictures every day, and responds quickly to messages. As a military family that travels often, she was a god-send for my nervous little guy.”
“Linda was wonderful with my baby Carrot. Carrot is very shy and takes a while to get used to people. Linda was very good with her and Carrot warmed up to her very quickly. I got pictures and daily updates which made me feel better about leaving her. Linda did a great job!”
“Benae was great! She kept our frenchie for 6 nights. We left her all of the info to know about Stella and she followed what we asked to keep her in her routine. Benae sent updates, photos and videos the entire time. Definitely recommended her to love your fur baby!”
“Joy was great! I knew my Bear was in great hands with Joy. She kept me up to date on my dog’s daily activities and was a ‘joy’ to work with. :) I definitely recommend, and will be a returning customer!!”
“Nicole watched our 1 year old golden Luna for a weekend and I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! She sent us continuous updates with lots of pictures and was extremely responsive. She made sure to follow all of my instructions and made me feel less anxious the moment we initially met. I can tell that Luna had such a wonderful time with her in her home and was taken care of exactly the way I would want her to be. I have nothing but positive things to say about Nicole and recommend her to anyone who is in need of a dog sitter in the Pensacola area.”
“Andrea was the best choice I could’ve made! If I could rate her 10/5 I would! I’ve never used a sitter before and we’re so lucky that we found her. She is the truest example of an animal lover and she treated Pops like he was her own, taking my high energy guy on plenty of long walks every day, giving him as much park and dog beach time as he needed (and he needs a lot). She knew I was a bit nervous using a sitter, and kept me comfortable and updated with tons of photos and videos of my guy being happy as can be! She kept him de-shedded, gave him the best food, and made sure that he was the picture of health in my absence. She even had a goodbye gift for Pops for me to take when I picked him up! Her pup was such a friendly guy and welcomed Pops like a little (although larger) brother. He was a perfect park pal and walking buddy! She certainly isn’t exaggerating when she says “your pup may get spoiled”! I’ll most definitely be using her any time that I need a sitter, and I simply can’t express how well she took care of my little guy. Pops and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and If I was to list all the little things she did to keep him happy, this review would turn into a novel. 1,000% would recommend!”
“Peggy was so great with our boys! It was the 1st time used Rover and left them, and we will definitely do it again. They played like they were at a home away from home!”
“As a first time drop off I was really nervous but I was given plenty of updates and photos to ease my tension. I left 2 lovely pups with Ms Stephanie (1 large and a small old man) and she was able to keep them both entertained, loved and cuddled. When picking them up I was happy to see they warmed up to her quite well and I would happily recommend her services to anyone!”
“Daniel was amazing, I feel so lucky to have found him. He was very communicative, he sent many photos, and most importantly, I could see that he and Pickles became very comfortable with each other quickly, which is the best you can ask for! Daniel will be my go-to for now on as long as he'll have us!”
“Fantastic couple to watch your dog(s). Took great care of my girls while I was away. Will definitely be my dog watchers for any other upcoming events. Thank you so much!”
About: I had a dog for over 10 years and I used to pet sit all my neighbors animals growing up! I would love to own a pet right now but I want to be settled before I do! That’s why I’d love to take care of your cats or dogs! I love nature and trails and they would be exceptionally more fun if I had a buddy with me! Since I owned a dog who had multiple surgeries, I’m more than suitable to take care of any special needs your dog may have! I currently work from 7-3:30 so I have the whole morning and afternoon to take care of your pets :) The weekends I should be even more free! I live an apartment that has a doggy park. It has lots of green areas to walk around and play in. It’s a pretty family friendly neighborhood.
“Very quick to respond and was super helpful when I needed to adjust my drop off time. Provided plenty of updates and photos while I was gone. Would book again and I highly recommend to others!”

Joy was amazing with my dog Theo! I’m usually very nervous about leaving him with someone new, but Joy let us come by for a meet and greet prior to my trip. I can honestly say after meeting her I had no doubts and felt very comfortable leaving with him in her care. Her communication was great and she made sure to send pictures and all updates. Her dog Fang was also a sweetheart and got along great with Theo. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt at home and I could tell he loved being there. I will not hesitate to rebook in the future and very thankful I found her!
Caitlin is great! She worked with our schedule(flight delay) and had great communication throughout our booking. I loved the picture updates of our fur babies ❤️ this was our first time using rover, and i could tell my dogs were happy and felt safe in her home. Would definitely book her again! ☺️
Jeily is a great pup sitter and we will absoletly use her again. Jeily takes extra care to ensure your pet is a good fit with other pets and also the health of all the animals in her care. We recieved updates with pictures so we knew our pup was well cared for and happy while we were away. Thank you again Jeily!!
Stephen took the very best care of our boy, Fred, while we were out of town for a couple weeks! Stephen kept Fred very active, gave us wonderful updates each day about how Fred was doing, and best of all, he gave Fred a happy, peaceful, loving home while we were away. Stephen is the very best, and we know we will use his dogsitting services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Pensacola home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your West Pensacola.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your West Pensacola sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
