I am currently available Monday - Friday 6 pm-11pm. I currently have a 12 yr old dog. He is an ESA dog. Hope to hear from you! I cannot board at the moment as I live in an apartment.

About: Hi! My name is Hailey, and I absolutely love caring for animals. I’m a third-year Biology student at UCF with a passion for animal care and conservation, and I’m excited to bring that passion to Rover! I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through my own pets, volunteer work, and everyday animal handling. At home, I have my energetic French bulldog, Lola, and my wonderful cat, Popper. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I help with cage cleanings, animal socialization, and dog walking. These experiences have taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding each animal’s individual personality are. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra playtime, a calm companion, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. Outside of Rover, I’m pursuing my Biology degree with an interest in continuing my education in veterinary sciences. Working with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I'm currently a full-time student and working part-time, so most days I'm not available. However, I am free every Saturday and Wednesday, so I'd be happy to stop in and care for your pets at any time on those days! I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and keep you updated with photos so you know they’re happy and safe.
“Minna is amazing! She sent tons of pictures of my dog and was very diligent in everything. One thing that I loved is that she had a meet and greet with me and my dog prior to doing the visits.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including training service dogs and working professionally as a groomer. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, different breeds, and pets requiring extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I am currently home full time after returning from deployment, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have plenty of flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I offer both in-home pet sitting and boarding in my home. For boarding, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, medication, and daily routines as closely as possible. For in-home visits, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule. With over 10 years of experience, including service dog training and professional grooming, I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments.
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I started volunteering at the SPCA in high school, where I helped walk and bathe dogs, care for cats, and even fostered a variety of pups💕 That experience sparked my love for pet care, and I began pet sitting for friends and family! I also worked professionally as a dog bather, gaining hands on experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two cats and two dogs, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own❤️ I recently got a new job at a doggy daycare! I work 8 hour shifts but my schedule varies week by week. I am always available overnight! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my clients, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment💕 I give plenty of attention, keep things clean (litter boxes, food bowls, bedding etc) and always make sure they feel calm and cared for while their owners are away.
About: Good day. My name is Tyisha, and I am an experienced dog care provider. I have been caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, including those with high energy levels. As I work from home, I am well-equipped to provide a suitable environment for athletic or active dogs. However, it is essential that your dog is friendly towards children. I have three dogs of my own, so a meet and greet session is necessary to ensure compatibility. My services include playtime, cuddle time, petting, and walks, tailored to meet your pet's individual needs. I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry friend. I work from home, so I would be able to care for your pet! Daycare drop-off and pick-up hours are between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Any time after 8 p.m. would need to be booked as boarding with pick-up the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. Boarding request drop-offs are anytime before 9:30 a.m. or anytime in the evening by 8 p.m. On the day of pick-up, pets must be picked up anytime in the morning. Any time after that, a daycare fee will be charged. I have a fenced-in two-lot property with three of my own fur babies who will keep your dog entertained. We have a dog door, so they can go in and out as they please. All gates around the fence are always locked, so they are safe to play in the backyard.
About: I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I am also open to providing care for cats. I am happy to assist with any needs your pet may have. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important pets are to their families, and I will treat your pets with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. I am currently a full time student working in public school. I leave around 7am and I get off at 2:00/2:30pm Monday-Friday. I am available to walk or do drop ins after 2:30pm. If I am house sitting/dropping in I may have to arrive/leave sooner depending on how far you are from me. On the weekends I work from 6:50am-11:30am and 1pm-5pm. I have three dogs at home so if you are looking to board you will need to bring your dog to my residence to make sure they can be around my dogs. Your dog has to be able to stay in a crate for 4-6 hours while I’m a work. My grandparents will give them a bathroom break in the afternoon. I will follow your schedule, including feeding times, walks, and any required medications. I am committed to giving your pets attentive care and plenty of affection.
About: Like many others‚ I've been around animals my whole life, and while being a pet owner naturally teaches you about responsibility and how to take care of an animal, what really helped prepare me and build my confidence to provide reliable professional pet care was working in animal care facilities․ I began working as a kennel technician during my senior year of high school, where I was responsible for feeding animals, administering medications, cleaning kennels, and ensuring each pet received the attention and care they needed․ When I started college, I continued working seasonally during breaks, but eventually transitioned into a job that tailored my college needs. Throughout high school though, I continuously pet-sat for some family friends. I am currently a junior at Florida Tech․ I work as a customer service representative and animal care attendant at Dogspot Hotel․ The great thing about working at the Dogspot Hotel is that I get to interact with clients and their dogs‚ and provide the best service for each animal․ I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications including insulin‚ as well as handling animals with a variety of medical conditions and behavioral issues․ A little extra about me, I have three dogs, three cats, and a Russian tortoise! When school starts up again in August‚ I will be a full-time college student at Florida Tech and working part-time․ My class schedule will be set‚ but my job is very flexible and I will be able to work around my class schedule․ Classes are scheduled mainly four days a week‚ with a mix of morning and afternoon availability. This gives me more flexibility to care for pets, including check-ins throughout the day, or overnight in the case of boarding․ I currently live in Melbourne‚ in the house that I rent with my roommates‚ and while my roommates have no problems with me having pets, our landlord has stated that they do not allow pets in the house. So any pet care would have to take place outside of my home.

About: Let me first start off with saying how much I love animals I grew up in 4h an FFA. Growing up I watched all of our family friends pets and house/farm sat for them when they were out of town and I have a lot of references. I offer dog walking, boarding , and in home visits. At home away from home doggie services when your family member is in our home they are treated like our family, welcome to lounge on couch go for walks play in our yard an if they like to swim they are in luck we have a pool and if not they can lay and take a sun bath. Then come in a lounge on couch and watch bluey. This isn’t just a job for me, not just a service it’s my dream. I work from home. Come check out the home away from home doggie services. As I’m sure you will not regret it we do not like to brag but if I was a dog I would definitely be wagging my way to home away from home. Happy paws ❤️ Ps we also send picture updates as requested from mommy or daddy throughout day:) and FaceTimes.

About: hi i'm Jake.

About: I have been pet sitting for over 8 years. My family has owned dogs and cats since I was born! I’m very excited to help you with any needs you may have with your furry family members 😊 I currently live and work part time hours in Melbourne. Very flexible schedule! Would love to help you with your pet sitting needs for your travels :) Depending on your needs, I can offer whatever grooming, feeding and walking services you may need. I know some pets are in need of daily medications, and I am familiar with doing this already.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. As an adult, I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, as well as dogs with allergies, food sensitivities, and special dietary needs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine, personality, and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, or other care needs. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m a stay-at-home mom and full-time online student, so I’m home for the majority of the day and have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I have open availability during both weekdays and weekends and can easily work walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks into my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own who are very different in breed, size, and age, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. My home has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. For care in your home, I’m generally available on weekdays from 9:00 AM–1:30 PM while my three children are in school. For services provided in my home, my schedule is much more flexible. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.
“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 always loved pets and care for them like my own furry kids. It’s premium service at a value you can trust. I’m “Pet Sitter” certified by Udemy with an official certification. I have had previous experience sitting pets with special needs. Puppies/kittens, senior and anything in between are always welcome. My backyard is huge, fenced and sprayed for fleas and ticks regularly. I only give animals I watch filtered water and follow directions on what you want and when to feed them. That way your pet feels at home. I can make my schedule around yours. Anytime that is best for my customers, is best for me! I don’t even mind if it’s last minute or 1AM, I tailor to you! If you want you can leave something with your scent on it to help with separation anxiety. I play calm relaxing music for them through out the day, and also ‘Animal Planet’ if they like TV. If they feel up to it, we can even go to the nearest dog park if dog Mom or Dad approves of course. I have a fenced yard, gates, crates or beds so your pets are comfortable. I have a first aid kit and Vet nearby in case of any emergencies. I can provide for your dog’s true happiness with lots of hugs and love. They are allowed on the furniture, if that’s what they’re used to, I don’t mind as I put on couch covers. I just want them to feel at ease and comfortable while their parents are away. I also send pictures and updates on how they are adapting and adjusting.

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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Palm Bay is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 1,159 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 .
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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
