“Noah is the best!! We had a friend cancel on us and he came through last minute to house and pet sit. It was our first time booking on Rover and we were a tad nervous to leave our pets and house with someone we didn't know, but were so at ease once we met him. Our pets loved him and he left our house in perfect shape. 10/10 recommend booking him!”
“Shannon did a great job house sitting for me and watching my very anxious doodle!! Winnie seemed very happy when i got home! The house was kept very clean and left in the same condition i left it in. I will definitely book again with her!! thank you!!”
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.
“Annabell did amazing! We loved her from the meet and greet. She took time to really understand our babies needs. She sent updates and was very respectful of our home. Will definitely rebook her”
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.
“Brittany did a fantastic job taking care of our pups. We were completely at ease while we were away, knowing they were in such great hands. We couldn't have asked for better care!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kristine is awesome!!! She housesat my girls for a week this time and after a great first experience with her, I was completely at ease knowing that my dogs were being cared for, loved and entertained while I was away. He husband bonded with our girls the first time as well and they were very happy to see him when he returned for this visit! I am so very happy with the care my dogs received from Kristine and Mark! I can always see joy in the dogs when she sends pics!”

“Chelsea is absolutely phenomenal! She jumped in last minute when I needed a sitter while on vacation. She immediately bonded with my dog and he fell in love with her. He can be anxious and overly excitable, but he felt comfortable with her right away. She made it possible for me to have an enjoyable outing with my family and not be worried about Odin the whole time. I can't say enough good things about her, I highly 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!
Jenna is the best dog sitter I have ever had. She shows up early, puts your pet first, and my dog who doesn’t like anyone loved Jenna. She is a blessing. Also, my house looked better when I came home than it did when I left. I hope I will be able to use Jenna for all my dog sitting.
Noah was FANTASTIC and a GREAT communicator. He took the initiative to set up a meet and greet before the reservation dates. Throughout our 10-day vacation, he kept me updated on how Skipper was doing, sent pictures/videos, and then confirmed our return flight took off on time to ensure Skipper wasn't left alone for too long before we got home. Also, our house was left in great condition (i.e. clean dishes, towels, etc). I will definitely rebook with Noah for future needs!
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!
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!
This women right here is a 10/10 I would highly recommend her to puppy sit your fur baby ! She was on top of everything and she even is helping me train my baby ! If she could get 20 stars instead of 5 I would put the max capacity ! I got so many photos and so many updates and just seeing my baby happy and safe makes this mama very happy and wants to be my permanent sitter !! We love bri and mike and we will be coming back for more sitting If you let us !
Lindsey was amazing! Our go to sitter from here on out. We are so thankful for her great communication, looking after our babies and making our weekend away so easy! She stayed at our home with our two dogs and I had full trust! Very thankful that she loved on our babies and they love her already!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Pensacola
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Pensacola on Rover is $57.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 637 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.
