Thanks again for taking care of my babies while I was gone! I trust you completely, and it’s such a great feeling knowing I don’t have to worry when they’re with you. You’re amazing — such a good soul and beautiful inside and out. ❤️

Larissa was able to help us out after our coverage for our fur kiddos fell through and we definitely intend to book with her again! Larissa is so kind and caring. Both my kiddos loved her as soon as they met her and that’s actually rare for my cat! Larissa provided several updates daily and adhered to the instructions we left for her. She left our home spotless! She even left a sweet thank you note with Polaroids of our kiddos inside. Normally when we get home, our kiddos tend to be skittish after having someone else stay with them but my girls were so at ease and happy. Thank you for loving on Riley and Sierra as if they were your own!

Marissa took wonderful care of our house and three dogs. The house was clean when we returned, communication was great throughout the stay, and it was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved on while we were away. We came home to happy pups and total peace of mind. I have already booked her again!

I can't say enough good things about Kara! She went above and beyond while taking care of my dog, Luna, and my two cats. Not only did she shower them with attention and make sure all their needs were met, but she also took the initiative to clean up very well after herself and the pets, and even gave Luna a bath! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, clean dog. I received multiple pictures and videos every day with clear communication. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will be rebooking, and so far she’s the only one in the area i have thought that about. Loved!

Nydia responded promptly to my request for dog sitting. She came to meet us right away for a meet and greet . We discussed a schedule and and went over pancakes routines. She came every time she promised she would sent lots of pictures. She put my mind at ease knowing my pancakes was being taking care of well we were out of town. I will be scheduling her again for my next trip out of town.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, and many other animals since I was a child, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. Family friends and coworkers have consistently trusted me to provide loving, reliable care for their pets as if they were my own. I am currently in school pursuing my veterinary education, and caring for animals is truly my passion. I also have three fur babies of my own - Lily, Luna, and Loki - including one special needs cat, which has given me lots of experience with extra care and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for as if they were mine! I also believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own familiar home and routine, which is why I offer reliable house sitting services designed to keep your pets feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I also take pride in keeping your home clean, secure, and well cared for, giving you peace of mind knowing that both your pets and your home are in good hands. I currently work Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, but I am fully available before and after those hours. I am also available on weekends and holidays, allowing for flexible scheduling to meet your pet care needs. I promise to care for your babies as if they were my own. I’m happy to accommodate any special requests to make sure they receive the best possible care. I’d also be more than happy to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking so you can feel completely comfortable and confident in choosing me.

Mafalda was absolutely amazing with my two Golden Retrievers, Izzy and Lou. From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care, and she exceeded every expectation. She kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from every update that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like they were her own. Izzy and Lou looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Mafalda is kind, reliable, attentive, and an excellent communicator. I came home to two happy dogs, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. Thank you, Mafalda, for taking such wonderful care of Izzy and Lou! We will definitely be booking with you again.

About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.

Ariela is Fantastic - took great care of my dogs! I have a mean 15 yo chihuahua/jerk mix and a delightful 6 yo shih tzu. Both get medicine and it’s nerve wracking finding someone when you are new in town. She was able to dose and feed them everyday, sent me a lot of photos, and checked in repeatedly. Her care and competency allowed me to leave with confidence and to enjoy my trip without worrying. She did great with my challenging dog, which was such a win. Ariela also cleaned up as she left, cleaning stuff and stripping the bed and putting the sheets in the laundry.Thoughtful person - Highly recommend!

Rose is a wonderful and trustworthy young lady. She was gentle and sensitive to my Lollipop’s needs and routines. We texted daily and provided pictures of their walks. Our final communication( she left my house before I came home), Rose left me a beautiful note summing up her day with Lolli. Besides all that… she left me with a clean and organized home; I greatly appreciated that! I certainly will be calling on her again!!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for all kinds big, small, shy, and super energetic! I’ve helped friends and family with dog sitting, walks, feedings, and giving meds when needed. What sets me apart is my patience, genuine love for dogs, and attention to detail whether that’s sticking to their routine, keeping their space clean, or making sure they get all the belly rubs and playtime they want. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Pet care easily fits into my routine, I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets feel safe and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely including feeding, walks, play, meds if needed and create a calm, loving environment whether in my home or yours.

About: Throughout my life, I’ve owned many different types of pets, from birds 🦜, to cats 🐱, and dogs 🐶 and to say which ones my favorite would be unfair. I know how to treat each pet differently and uniquely and take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Whether it’s extra playtime, calm companionship, or sticking closely to feeding and walking schedules, I focus on giving pets the care they’re used to — and the attention they deserve. I’m currently working part time at the moment but I’m available for boarding on weekdays right now past 11 AM. I do same-day booking and scheduling ahead of time. I make sure that pets are kept safe, comfortable, and on their usual routine (which I’m happy to learn. I follow all care instructions carefully, maintain a clean and pet-safe environment, and give them plenty of attention and supervision as needed. I also share updates so you always know how your pet is doing. 🐾

About: I am truly a Pet Lover. In caring for your Fur Baby I will give him or her unconditional love in your absence and always give you "piece of mind" that they are in good hands. I would be honor to give love to your Furry Family Member just as I would want someone to take care of my Fur Baby "Chuckie" while I’m away. I take this very serious and will treat your Love One as if he or she was my own. I hope to meet and care for all of you soon. I am currently not working so I have a lot of free time in order to take on the “Care of Fur Babies” (individually or multiple pets in the same day). This entails Dog Walking, Dog Boarding or Doggie Drop-Ins depending on the needs and wants of the Pet Parent. I live in a townhome where my community has a dog park for small dogs, as well as, larger dogs that’s separated regarding size and breed. My backyard is fenced in where they can lay out and get some Vitamin D and there are some shaded areas in my backyard as well. Since I am currently not working, your Fur Baby will have my undivided attention. This quality time is great for Pet Parents to know that their Fur Babies won’t be left alone. Visiting a client’s home, by obeying the rules of their privacy is key. I’m there to socialize with their Fur Baby and make sure they are comfortable and everything is done before I leave.

Marianne is probably the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She was so genuine in her care for our boys and updated us multiple times per day! You can just tell when someone truly cares for your animals and I never worried a second while we were away. She ensured our home was in good shape when she left and was so flexible. We will one trillion percent be using her again!!

Kara was amazing! She took care of our 5 big dogs for two whole weeks while we were out of the country. She stayed the night at the house at our request and spent most of the day at the house as well. Dogs were happy the whole time and she did a great job even getting them their vitamins and different amounts of food and toppings. She also kept the house tidy which is a full time job with 5 dogs! Was nice coming home to happy pups and a clean house after two weeks. Definitely would use her again and recommend to anyone!

Kristina was absolutely amazing!!! She has so much energy, which is so valuable since I have 2 huskies. She took them on multiple walks a day, took them to the nearby dog park + played with them in our backyard. One of my dogs takes medication for his epilepsy, and she was a pro at administering. She was very communicative, giving me regular updates + photos. She also goes over + beyond!! I didn't expect or request any cleaning, but she insisted, washing bed linens + remaking the bed, cleaning the bathroom, and vacuuming the house! She also thoroughly brushed our dogs, making their coats look better than ever! She even left us all treats on her way out!! My pets had a blast with her + it was great to have someone so reliable + trustworthy so that we could focus on enjoying our vacation. We can't wait to hire her again in the future!

I was nervous because I wasn’t sure how my dog would do given he didn’t know her but she was great and Uzi loved her ! She sent me constant photos and updates on my boy and was very thorough throughout the whole process all the way down to how he ate and what he liked to do.

FAQs for House Sitting - Palm Aire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Palm Aire on Rover is $44.4 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 4,633 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palm Aire. 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 Palm Aire 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 Palm Aire 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 Palm Aire 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 Palm Aire. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
