“Ebony has been a life saver for my family and I! My dogs are getting old and cannot be left home alone for extended period of time without some love and a potty break. She comes to my house every day that I work and does just that. My dogs get excited and meet her at the door, knowing that they are going to get some attention and a well deserved walk around the block. She has even brought over another 4 legged friend for my pups to enjoy some time with! She is very trustworthy, respects your home and your animals, and I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Linda watched our cat, Maka, while we were out of town this past weekend. She was a sweetheart and went over and beyond to make sure Maka was taken care of, sending plenty of pics and videos each time she visited. Very appreciated!”
“I selected Gabriella because of her ability to administer insulin shots to my dog. She had an emergency with her own dog and even when going through an stressful time, she managed to show up and worked things out with me. I will certainly hire her again if needed, she acted very responsible and understood that my dog really needed her.”
About: Hi there! I’m an animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and hedgehogs to snakes and lizards! I’ve had the opportunity to care for animals of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable adapting to their individual needs and routines. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, enclosure maintenance, or simply some company while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. My experience isn’t limited to furry friends, either! I’m comfortable caring for reptiles and other small animals. I currently work full-time as an X-ray technologist, so my availability is primarily weekday evenings after 5 PM. I offer pet sitting in your home and dog walking, but I don’t offer boarding at my own home since I have pets of my own. I’m also happy to help with little extras like watering plants while you’re away! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, scaly, or prickly family members! I work full-time as an X-ray technologist, so my availability is primarily Monday through Friday after 5 PM. I do my best to remain flexible with evening visits and walks while maintaining a consistent schedule for your pets. I currently do not offer weekend services or overnight boarding. I believe in being upfront about my availability so I can provide reliable and attentive care whenever I accept a booking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priorities. I provide care exclusively in your home, where your pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before providing care. I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs, hedgehogs, snakes, and lizards, and understand that every animal requires a different approach. I respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure doors, gates, enclosures, and other safety precautions are properly secured. I also enjoy keeping owners updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make both you and your pets feel comfortable knowing they’re in caring and responsible hands.
About: I've trained, cared for my dogs and friends dogs for 20+ years. My love for animals is unconditional. Most my friends call me the dog whisperer. I love dogs more then people.. I wish I could have 5 of my own. I currently have a open schedule. I am in the hospitality industry so prior scheduling allows me to make my flexible schedule accommodate easily and have short shifts I have a fencend in front and back yard. My dog rules my home, and other guests will run, play, and rest easy right with him. I purchased this home so all of the fur babies could live their best life.

About: I have had animals all my life and have 16 years experience at a local boarding kennel. Animal shelter 2 years. Adore both dogs and cats I am currently unemployed. I’m looking for a part time job. I’m home most of the time. I have a fenced back yard. I’m very experienced I have a fenced back yard and regularly feed and provide fresh water for my cats.

About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds ever since I was young. I’ve dog sat for family and friends, I’ve worked at a dog grooming/boarding. I had my own dog for 15 wonderful years. I also have experience with cats and reptiles. I’m happy to watch any critter you may have! I’m currently working full time as a server. I have evenings available. Eventually I’d like to cut back on serving and focus more on pet sitting. I do not offer in-home services as I currently live in an apartment. If need be I can stay at your home. I like to keep your pets on as normal of a schedule as possible. Over the years I have seen the benefits of a daily routine for animals. They are already missing their people. Being able to stay in a familiar environment with their normal routine helps alleviate some of that anxiety. I am also willing to even stop by walk and feed them if that is what you need.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals for the past 10 years. I have pets of my own so I know how it feels to leave your babies at home. I love walking and playing with all animals!

“Tonja was extremely professional and went above and beyond what I asked of her. I have 2 diabetic cats and besides daily pictures, she kept me informed of how many units were given and if they ate or drank water. She helped me out at the last minute and I highly recommend her for kitty care!!”
About: I've grown up around animals my entire life and while I love them all, dogs hold a special place in my heart. Now in my adult life, owning a fur-baby (dog) myself, I truly understand the concern around finding someone to look after them while you're away and cannot bring them with. Because if we could bring them every where, we would, right!? :) I work from home full-time Monday thru Friday, which provides the flexibility to care for your fur-baby. I have several years of experience dog sitting, dog walking, and house sitting for family, friends, and colleagues. I would love to get to know your fur-baby and provide the best possible care for them! ** Unfortunately because of my own dog being reactive, I cannot board at this time. Since I work from home, I am able to provide your fur-baby the attention and care they need depending on their specific needs. I know dogs thrive on a consistent schedule and am happy to help maintain their normal routine while you're away from home. My top priority is make sure your fur-baby feels "at home" where ever they are. If they have a specific routine that we need to follow every day, I will adhere to them.
About: Let me first start off with saying how much I love animals I grew up in 4h an FFA.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Bay
Alex was fantastic with our anxious girl, Venus. She’s the perfect blend of sweet and chill, and was great about communicating with us while we were away. We ended up needing to adjust our plans and add an extra drop-in visit on the second day, and Alex was incredibly flexible and accommodating. It was such a relief knowing Venus was in good hands while we were out enjoying Orlando. We would absolutely book with Alex again!
Sophia was great on our first visit. She was communicative,responsive and sent cute photos of my dog. Leo is shy, but he really seemed to trust Sophia right away during our meet and greet. I could tell by the photos from her first visit and walk that he was really comfortable, and that gave me such piece of mind. IYKYK:). Looking forward to booking her again, and I know Leo will be happy to see her too. Thank you!
I am so thankful to have found Amber. We usually try to take our dog with us when we travel. This wasn't an option so we wanted our girl to feel some sense of normal while we were gone. Amber was wonderful and gave us peace of mind especially with a Tornado warning. We will definitely hire her again.
My 3 pups (all over 13 years old) were taken care of as if they were Gretchen’s own babies. Gretchen is one in a million! My pups just loved her and she loves them. Thank you for taking the stress, anxiety and guilt away from us. They are just too old and precious to take to a boarding facility. I will forever hire Gretchen to take care of my babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Palm Bay is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,137 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Palm Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Bay 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!
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Palm Bay with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palm Bay. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
