Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.

Madison was great!!! I had a last second flight and she was very flexible for my needs. I’m guessing she was great to my dog because he’s 21 years old and still bouncing around as usual.

Josh was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Milo. While I was away, Milo was clearly well cared for: he was fed, had plenty of fresh water, and his litter box was clean. What meant the most to me was coming home to a calm, happy cat. Milo can sometimes get anxious when I’m gone, but this time he seemed completely at ease, which really speaks to the level of care and attention Josh provided. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!

About: I have been around dogs my whole like - from small chihuahuas to large Great Danes. I have never had any problems with a dog liking me and I will always approach a new dog with the respect they deserve. I am knowledgeable in their body language and cues so I am usually able to communicate with them quite well. Some skills I have when it comes to dogs are medication administration, potty training, crate training, command training, and leash training. I am not certified but I do have lots of experience with multiple dogs that has been highly effective. All dogs will receive endless pets and belly rubs! If they have a special snacks or dietary needs, I can certainly follow any instructions given to keep your pup in good health while in my care. Occasionally, my husband may be with for walks as I like having another person with for security measures. I will always message you for permission of this before your service. He is great with all animals as well but as a woman, I like having that extra sense of security when I’m in a new area. I have recently opened up my availability to be a full time pet care assistant. I absolutely love animals and to have this be a full time means of living would be a dream come true. I have open arms to animals of all shapes and sizes! I do not currently offer in home pet sitting as my complex only allows our registered pets. But basic care would include: play time, feedings, refilling/refreshing the water dish, snacks if available, time basking in the sun (if applicable), administering medication if needed, LOTS OF PETS!

About: Hi there! Our passion for animals has reached over 7 years now, having strong skills in newborn puppies up to adult and senior dogs, with different dog diets, medications, grooming, love and care. Basic training is a skill we’ve been practice and grow on everyday as well to ensure structure and respect ☺️ We work from home so we are very attentive and ready to give cuddles at all times! We live in a pet friendly community so our dog walks are very fun! We do walks 3-4 times a day and 2-3 feedings usually unless special attention is needed and always adjust and adapt our routine. We have our doggie section of the house where they rest and enjoy some chill time, at anytime they are free to come join us while we work as we are very lenient and flexible with our time. We also have play times where they can have snacks and toys to enjoy throughout the day so there’s never a dull moment in our days!

About: I have had many years of experience house/pet sitting for different families ever since I was a little girl. I have always loved animals and always wanted to be a veterinarian. I ended up in a different career, but I do have experience working at a vet clinic. Which means I have experience administering medication, giving injections, nail trimming, ear cleaning and more! I am very detail oriented and organized and will send frequent updates and pictures of your fur baby! I appreciate you leaving me a list as well so everyone is on the same page! I am a dog mom of 2 precious babies and I know how important it is to find someone you fully trust. I want you to have full peace of mind that your baby is in great hands with me!

Kyle did an amazing dog with both my dogs and cat! I can tell he is a huge animal lover and he spent quality time with all my pets and I could see how much they enjoyed his company. Although I have a pet cam I appreciate that he went above and beyond with sending me multiple videos of my pets. He has earned my trust that he will not just check in but also give my animals love while I am gone :)

About: I have been an absolute animal lover from a very young age and grew up with a dog and two cats. I worked at a Dog training and boarding center as a kennel attendant where I fed and cared for dogs everyday, attending to special needs such as distributing medicines and dietary restrictions. I also occasionally assisted my boss in training the dogs and cared for a litter of newborn Labrador retriever puppies! On top of this experience I volunteered at the MSPCA for a semester in college and had dog sat for two families in high school. I adore dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages! I will be in Palm Bay for the summer and don’t have any schedule conflicts at the moment! I am very flexible and can work mornings, afternoons, and evenings 7 days a week. :) I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and letting them warm up to me so I can ensure they are comfortable during their time with me. I always double check doors & gates, feeding schedules, and give consistent bathroom breaks. I will treat your home with respect and follow any specific instructions you have. Most importantly, I am always be gentle, patient, and loving with all animals!

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.

About: You could probably say I enjoy being around dogs more than most people. I consider dogs angels. I love to spoil them. My two girls are very spoiled. I have always had a dog. At one time I had 4 large dogs. I know what distress looks like and I know animal safeguarding. My husband and I have a deep bond with animals. We will care for your dog just as if they were ours. I’m a retired teacher and I love and truly understand dogs. I will love your pet as if he/she were my own. I’ve done all kinds of medications including kidney care involving injections and oral medicine. I have a fenced in yard and a safe place to walk dogs. I have two female Shitzus and they are very very friendly. I have had puppies, teenage dogs, and seniors. We only care for one families’ dog(s) at a time so they receive the care they deserve. We will send lots of pictures of your dog during our time with us and we will always follow your care instructions.

ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)

About: Entrusting someone with your pet requires confidence, and I provide a level of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I offer a unique combination of professional medical knowledge and personalized, attentive care designed to meet each pet’s individual needs. From routine companionship to specialized support for senior pets, those with medical conditions, or pets requiring medication, I am equipped to provide exceptional care with precision and compassion. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always the highest priority. I believe premium care means more than meeting basic needs—it means creating a calm, enriching, and secure experience where pets feel comfortable and valued. My goal is to provide discerning pet owners with complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are receiving expert care in capable hands. For clients seeking professionalism, reliability, and a truly elevated standard of pet care, I am committed to delivering service you and your pet can trust. My schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week. I work only one Saturday each month for approximately four hours, which gives me a highly flexible availability for pet sitting and boarding. I am home every evening, ensuring pets receive consistent companionship, routine, and care. As I work within a veterinary clinic setting, I also have the unique ability—if absolutely necessary—to bring a pet with me during work hours. In that environment, they would be closely supervised and surrounded by caring professionals, receiving plenty of attention throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being while accommodating their individual needs. I provide attentive, personalized care in a calm and welcoming environment. At this time, I do not have pets of my own, which allows me to offer visiting pets a comfortable space without concerns about compatibility with resident animals. I live in an apartment community with ample opportunities for walks, fresh air, and enrichment. There is also an on-site dog park, providing additional space for exercise and play. Beyond meeting daily care needs, I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—whether that means engaging in play, offering companionship, or simply sharing quiet moments and snuggles. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and at ease while in my care.

About: I had dogs growing up and they always brought so much joy. I have fostered animals mostly puppies and at one time I had 5 puppies that I was potty training. If your pet requires medication via needle or pill, I am comfortable with either. I work from home and I am flexible in taking care of your pet. Whether it is a walk, daily feeding or sleep over I am home most of the time. If your fur baby is staying the night, we will discuss specific needs, such as feeding time, treats, walks, etc. if I am walking your fur baby, is there a specific area or length of walk you prefer. I am also available to let your dog out during the day and make sure your fur baby has enough water.

Heather was amazing we kept tabs on ring and also via messaging and she sent pictures every day and gave us an update and my two cats are not the easiest cats because they were ferals and one of them needed insulin shots twice a day as she has diabetes which is not an easy task for any sitter and they warmed up to her almost instantly so we are very pleased and would definitely use her again the next time we travel. Sweet lady, great sitter.

About: Hi! My name is SJ! I always wanted to find someone reliable, kind, gentle and understanding to watch my own girls when I needed to go out of town. So I decided to be that for others who may also need a lil help in the puppy department. Trusting someone with your fur babies is one of the hardest things... Let me help take that stress off of your shoulders. Leave a detailed message on how to care for your fur baby and I got you! I treat every animal as if it were a human. Dogs especially always find their way to me 😂 I'm basically Ms. Rachel , but for dogs 🤣 I can be available for drop in visits, or some in-home sitting, let me know what you need. No worries! For some reason my rates are all over the place on this app and there's no way for me to update them I keep it easy and the same for everyone. 20 per visit +10 for additional pets. Example: 1 dog + 3 visits = 60. 2 dogs + 3 visits = 90. Message me or text to book I'm an Uber Driver and a local musician so I occasionally play music around Brevard county but I have plenty of time for your pets! My girls are set in their daily routines. I come and go throughout the day. I have a semi fenced yard (the rest is a natural barrier) our girls stay in the garden and don't ever leave the premises. It's a garden/dog park in our backyard. In your home, I would just need very clear directions on what your expectation is and I can follow that guideline with no problem :) My time is spent with your pet playing, feeding, walking, or just being there for some human interaction. I can clean up anything while I'm there for you. Just think of me as your assistant. Let me know what I can do to make your pet/day a little easier.

I’m very good at it and know how to administer medication‘s properly. I’ve also taken care of animals that have walking issues that are having issues with going outside. Many years of different types of animal care.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Palm Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Palm Bay on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,194 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Palm Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Palm Bay stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.

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 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.
