“I was nervous to use someone I’ve never met to dog sit while I was out of town because I’ve had a bad experience in the past, but Noah restored my faith! He was so good with my babies and took excellent care of them while I was gone. They just loved him!!! Will definitely rebook when I’m out of town again!”
“If you're trying Rover for the first time like we were, I can't recommend Jenna enough. We chose her because she had more reviews than almost anyone else we looked at, and she still maintained a perfect five star rating. Now we understand why. We were gone on a deep sea fishing trip, and Jenna came by twice to take care of our dog, Ruger. She didn't just let her out for a potty break. She spent time playing with her, throwing the ball, and making sure she got plenty of exercise. Ruger was happy, tired, and clearly well cared for when we got home. Jenna was reliable, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Sweet lady, cares about the animals and did a little extra by taking one of my cats to the vet for treatments twice while I was gone. Would recommend for drop in pet care.”
“Kristine was absolutely wonderful!! She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated as we were nervous to leave our puppy. We can tell they were in great hands!! She also left our house in great condition and even printed off pictures of our boys 🥰 Great experience and would definitely recommend !”
“I highly recommend Shannon! :) We were desperately looking for someone who had availability for the holidays to watch our dog, especially since we were going across the country to visit family and we wanted to make sure our boy was going to be in the hands of someone we can trust while we were away for two weeks, and I am so glad I found Shannon! She first came for a meet and greet and asked all the right questions to make sure she can provide the best care possible, which made me feel even better about having her stay with him. She watched him for two weeks and kept me up to date on their daily activities and sent me the cutest pictures of my boy - where he was clearly very happy being in her presence! She went above and beyond for our family, kept our house clean, she also did tasks that she didn’t have to but was out of the kindness of her heart and our family so greatly appreciates her for - and most of all, she kept our boy so happy and gave him all the love while we were away!! I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I've been an animal-lover since I was a child. I have always been surrounded by family pets - dogs, cats, bearded dragons, fish, etc. I have a 13 year-old Australian Shepard mix that I rescued in 2013 and I recently rescued a kitten. I love all pets and will treat yours like I treat my own - with love, respect and lots of snuggles. I'm currently working part-time, so I have extra time to spend with your animals! I love to walk, run or play with your animals. I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings for walks - and am also available for overnight pet-sitting. I have a fenced in yard at home and am also near a few walking paths. I always use collars and leashes when going on walks and I make sure that all animals are securely inside before opening outside doors.
About: I've had pets growing up and my own as an adult. I was taught pets are Family and that is how I care for my own, and other people's, pets. I can walk, clean up after, feed, and give medication to dogs. I've raised dogs from puppy through senior age and the peaceful passing on from this world. I work remotely, and make my own schedule, so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your fur baby. Walks, feeding, or sitting that works around whatever your schedule is. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex that has a fenced dog park and plenty of space to walk. I have a pet friendly apartment with a cat of my own currently. She's been around dogs and cats her entire life. Let me know your pets preferences and I'll accommodate to keep them comfortable and happy while you're away.
“Great communication. Went above and beyond to see if there was any housework that needed to be done. I had peace of mind knowing that my babies were taken care of. I could enjoy my time away for the first time in a long time. Thank you Annabelle!”
“The best!!! Marissa is awesome! She took wonderful care of our pets and made it so much easier to relax while we were away. It was obvious Mirra and Coco were happy and comfortable with her. We’d absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to everyone! Beyond grateful!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs my entire life. Caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’ve personally raised and trained two dogs from puppyhood, so I’m comfortable with everything from potty training and basic obedience to creating consistent routines and providing lots of patience and positive reinforcement. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently working 3 12s so I have a very flexible schedule. My schedule is different days every other week. When you book with me I will let you know what days I work that week. I will clean all the messes made and make sure your dog is well taken care of like they were my own. I will treat your animals as if they were my own.
“Michelle has been our preferred dog sitter for a few years now! On our most recent trip, our dog (who is diabetic) decided to not eat for 24 hours. Michelle went above and beyond by buying wet food, boiling chicken, and giving us frequent updates to ease our stress as much as possible. She cares for our pup like he is her own and we couldn’t thank her enough!”
“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”
“Rona is incredible! She is truly an animal whisperer and will put your dog or cat needs above everything else, including her own. I trust her completely and look to her for advice to get to know my own dog better!”
“We needed a last-minute dog sitter, and Bri stepped right in! She was incredibly kind, took great care of our dogs, and even washed the sheets and cleaned up after herself before leaving. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would book her again.”
About: Hi! Im Luis & I have over 10+ years experience with caring and loving for doggies. Former Marine , just absolutely love not only caring for dogs, but also ensuring strong client service for dog parents so that they are assured that their pup is great hands while they are away. Right now I am only doing walks and house sitting at clients home for now while I get my own house squared away.

Caitlin was a fantastic dog sitter! My husband and I went out of town for a week, and she home sat for our two dogs. She sent lots of photos throughout the week and let us know how they were doing. Our dogs loved her and she took great care of them and the house while we were away. She even vacuumed up which was so thoughtful. Absolutely recommend her!
Shannon was so great! She cared for Zeus so well and sent me updates everyday. I could actually relax and enjoy my trip, knowing that he was taken cared for and loved by her. She also left my house so nice and neat. She is a great sitter and I will definitely be booking her again!
I can't express how much I appreciate Haley! I love to travel but am always nervous about leaving my three pups. I never worried about them while Haley was with them for 6 nights. She is exactly what we were looking for in a dog sitter! She sent pictures and texts throughout the day letting us know how my babies were doing. I was so happy to see pictures and videos of them eating, walking, playing outdoors, and sleeping! I still missed them while I was gone but felt so much better knowing they were well taken care of! She is one of the most caring dog sitters we have ever used! We will definitely book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Pensacola
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Pensacola on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 645 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Pensacola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Pensacola walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Pensacola maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Pensacola choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Pensacola. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
