About: I have had many pet’s growing up and always love taking care of, playing, and having fun with my dogs. As of last year I started giving my time to a near by boarding and day care kennel and have absolutely loved it!!! I am currently a graduate student and working an internship which allows me to care for animals in the mornings and late afternoons. The days I do have class I have marked myself unavailable. I have a fenced in yard and three very friendly dogs who love to run and play! My dogs love to go on walks which I hope I have the opportunity to do with yours as well or play in the yard!

About: Hi, I’m Jocelyn! I grew up with a Jack Russell/terrier mix who has been part of our family for 12 years, so dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a teenager. I’m also a proud cat mom of two, and between my sisters’ cats (an orange tabby duo!) and my own, I’m very comfortable with feline personalities too. My pet care experience includes caring for my husband’s senior, blind family dog — so I’m confident with pets who need a little extra patience and gentle handling — as well as care for different breeds of dogs and cats from friends to coworkers! I bring the same reliability from my years in customer service and hospitality: I show up on time, communicate clearly, and treat every fur baby like they’re my own. What sets me apart: I love photography and videography, so every walk or visit comes with photo and video updates of your fur babies having a great time — not just a quick “all good!” text. You’ll actually get to see the tail wags. I’m also an active person myself — I run, hike, and play tennis — I’m happy to give high-energy dogs the exercise they need! Currently booking flexible daytime and weekend visits. Looking forward to meeting you & yours! :) Pet care fits naturally into my routine right now since I have a flexible schedule with plenty of daytime availability. I’m an active person — I work out, walk, and spend time outdoors regularly — so incorporating walks or visits into my day feels like a natural extension of how I already live, not an extra chore. I also have two cats of my own, so daily feeding, litter care, and playtime are already part of my everyday rhythm! In my own home, my boys have consistent routines — regular feeding times, fresh filtered water, clean litter areas, and daily play and enrichment. I keep a calm, safe environment and give plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day, not just at scheduled check-ins. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s existing routine exactly as-is — same feeding schedule, same food, same walk times — since consistency matters most for pets in an unfamiliar situation (or even a familiar one with their person away). I treat the home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own space: doors/gates secured, messes cleaned up, and everything left exactly as I found it. And of course, you’ll get photo/video updates throughout so you can see your pet is happy and comfortable the whole time! (:

“Jamie did a fabulous job of taking care of our two kitties Cagney and Charlie while we were on vacation in Disney. She came every day and fed them wet food, refilled their water dishes and cleaned the litter box. I highly recommend her! She’s super cheerful, positive, loves animals, trustworthy and reliable. She sent pictures of the kitties every day while we were gone too. Absolutely loved her and so did our kitties!!”

About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog lover who understands that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I love getting outside, staying active, and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while their humans are away. Whether your dog needs a leisurely stroll, an energetic walk, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any special instructions you provide. I have foster dogs for the last two years. I am currently fostering my 7th dog, I have owned dogs my whole life and my dream is to open my own sanctuary one day. I’ve fostered small dogs And big dogs, i’ve potty trained, crate trained, and house trained every single one of my Foster’s. I have experience with fear based, anxious and reactive dogs. I spend my free time volunteering at the shelter to help walking & socializing the dogs. My dogs are my children, and they are so spoiled beyond belief. I’m currently working part time so I’m pretty much home all day dedicating my time to my fur babies, making sure they get plenty of mental and physical exercise. I’m big on mental enrichment/stimulation and excersise. I will make sure your dog is taking good care of! I love to play ball/fetch with my dogs, I play a lot of puzzle games, I take them for a run or car ride to sniff & tire themselves out.

I’m just traveling in this area so I’m not local but if I was… I would definitely be hiring Maria every time to take care of my babies. Thank you again!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner since birth. I have been watching pets and taking care of them for over 10 years. I love animals with all my heart. I currently work as a paraprofessional in an Extended School Year program during all July during the week Monday to Thursday for 4 hours. I have open availability after 1 pm and on the weekends. I will meet your pet at the their needs. I’m great at following any routine or instructions you leave for me since I love rules. If I have any question or concern, I will ask at once. I’m a problem solver so I can figure out most things before I need to interrupt a date night, vacation or work.

About: I have worked with animals at a boarding facility and then transferred to two veterinary hospital as a technician assistant and training tech. I also own my own dog named Titan who is 9 years old and a cat named Mami who is around 3. I’m pretty well trained with aggressive pets and even messy one who tend to potty leak because of old age! I’m extremely loving with every pets and love to give them as much photo ops as I can during our play dates to update the parent :) I’m currently in school full time but attend them mostly online. On Tuesday I go from 2-4:30pm and am free for the rest of the week. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I’m familiar with monitoring pet behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and safely handling animals. In my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or special care. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention.

“I am so incredibly thankful for the care Lisa gave to my two cats while we were out of the country. Not only did she come every day and spend time with them around the same time every evening, she also brought toys for them to keep. She made sure they had food, water, and clean litter every day. That’s beyond any service I was expecting and appreciate it immensely. Also, as a cute little added touch, she gave me painting with the same shades and colors on my boys coats. I would recommend her to anyone and trust her with my pets if we need to travel away again. She’s incredibly nice and trust worthy, anyone could trust her with their fur babies.”

About: Hello! I am a music artist and sound engineer based in South Jersey. While I love music, I equally love taking care of furry pals. In the last years of my 14 y/o dog’s life, I provided senior care and accessibility to her when she became blind. It was an honor to be there for the last parts of her life. I do not have any pets currently, but I’ve always had a good connection with animals I meet in homes and out and about. My friends and family entrust their cats, rabbits and dogs in my care whenever they are away or need a bit of help in the day. As a freelance worker, My afternoons and evenings are ever-changing. My mornings and midday are always available. That being said, I have a very flexible schedule and can figure out a plan that works for you, too! When I am in charge of care at a client’s home and their pets, I take that responsibility as my top priority. I am always aware of where your pet is at any moment, and your house will be kept up to the same cleanly standards if not better.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.

About: I work remotely from my cozy home in Northfield most days a week, and I love furry company! I have a large back yard and live in a calm neighbourhood with lots of treelined streets to walk your pups through. I can also petsit your babies in your own home since my work is remote. I've been taking care of animals for friends for years and just realized I could be doing this more often through Rover! I work remotely and it's very flexible work. I love to take breaks and go out for walks frequently, and if your animal fits on my lap they'll most likely be there most of the time! If they have anxious tendencies I have lots of experience with helping them calm down and feel secure with me. I love to snuggle and will give your animals lots of cuddles and love! I have a big yard where your pup can run on the line. I make sure to feed your animals on time and take them out for frequent walks in my neighbourhood, parks nearby, or at the dog beach!

About: I have dog sat for other people before and I absolutely love animals. I have 5 of my own animals that I love with all of my heart. One of them is a puppy right now. I have experienced little dogs, medium dogs, bigger dogs and puppies. I’ve learned a lot through my own trial and error early on with my own dogs. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently working part time and I have time in my day to make sure your pet has all the love and attention it needs. Since I have 5 dogs it would preferably have to be in the clients home especially the first few times so I would be able to connect with the dog.

“I'm so grateful to have had Sade watching my pup while I was out of town! She was super flexible and made herself available when I ended up needing to add several days to the booking at the last minute. She sent me awesome pictures and updates at every single visit. My dog can be quite anxious and reactive, especially with strangers, and it was clear from the meet and greet we did as well as all the updates I received that Sade was confident, patient, loving, and attentive and, as a result, my pup was completely at ease with her. I highly recommend her for any pet care needs you have!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Palermo

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
