About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a little girl. I have experience with both dogs and cats from working at the animal shelter for several years. I will take my experience and apply it with my clients in all aspects. I’m also a recent graduate of Florida Tech, currently shadow at Premier Veterinary Care, and am applying for veterinary school. I have a full availability schedule, I’m able to fit your pets needs into my schedule easily! I do visit my hometown in Pennsylvania frequently but do live here permanently. In my clients home, I will strictly follow instructions given by the pet owner, in regards to feeding, medications, exercise, time spent, etc. Also, I will make sure to send photo updates to the client if requested.
“Brian is an amazing dog sitter! Our dogs were comfortable with him the second they met him. He was consistently on time to feed and walk the boys and always sent a quick summary and pictures to hold us over until we could get back home to them. We will definitely be asking Brian to watch our dogs again in the future!”
“Tom has been just great. He stepped in to walk my mom's dog after her hospitalization as she recovered. He was highly responsive, communicated clearly, and not only respectful and flexible- but he was kind to both mom and her dog. In short, he was exceptionally gracious and such a pleasure to work with. We'll absolutely be using him again and again and again-and you should too.”
About: My wife and I have been pet sitting for several years. My clients have all become part of the family. I genuinely love being around animals, going for walks and spending time with animals. We were dog sitting previously in Canada while living there, we would be happy to provide you with additional references. We have the friendliest 7 year old Irish setter who absolutely loves being around people and dogs (He spends a lot of his time at Fred Popp dog park running in circles for an hour). He loves both large and small dogs and he does not seem to care if they are female or male. When pet sitting at your home, my dog will stay home with his other family members . We work from home so were always around. We love walking and being outdoors so your pet will get lots of exercise (I can track the pets walks on my phone and send updates and photos so you know your buddy is having a great time). We will always discuss the pets needs before caring for them as every pet is different and deserves the staycation that's best for them. We will discuss the pets' needs with the owner and come up with a plan that they are comfortable. (I'll do my best to stick to the same routine they have at home )
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I don’t just “watch” your dog—I care for them like family. What sets me apart is my experience, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of dogs at every stage of life. Whether you’ve got a bouncy new puppy or a wise senior pup, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. Being a stay-at-home person, I have a flexible schedule, home presence, and ability to provide consistent care which is what pet owners are looking for. I treat every pet like a part of the family. I offer a calm, safe, and cozy environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at home. I stick to each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s specific meal times, walks, crate time, or medications—to help reduce stress and keep things familiar. I supervise all play, provide enrichment throughout the day (walks, toys, cuddles, or quiet time, depending on the pet), and give lots of love and attention. I also make sure the space is secure, clean, and free of hazards.
“She is absolutely amazing! overall 5 stars! She’s always on time, and loves your fur baby just like her own. it’s always great to see pics of your babies when you’re away and she makes sure to send those! My pupper suffers from a lot of anxiety and he felt right at home with her. I will be a repeat customer ?”
“Being a working mom, it is hard trying to do it all. I was in a bind and needed help. My friend recommended to try Josh on Rover. I have never had any experience with Rover before, but I had no choice as I needed the help. I booked with Josh which was super-fast and easy. He approved the walk right away. Well, I would too if you saw a picture of my sweet dog. Josh was punctual and seems like a really nice gentleman. Nala was so happy to go on a walk, she just darted out the door with him. Josh made sure to give nala all the love I would have given her if I had the time to walk her. This experience with Rover and Josh as a walker was wonderful. I would highly recommend using Josh.”
“We came on vacation with Marlo but still wanted to do some day-long family excursions. Katelyn came and walked our Yorkie. Loved that she was out with her for the full time. Really appreciated her and the option of having Rover.”
About: I have been a cat owner myself for 8 years. I love to spoil my meow machine at home, and hoping to spoil yours too! I feed garlic a fresh bowl of water every morning, with half a can of wet food mixed with hairball supplements in it. Pet/play time at noon and evening, with catnip toy. TV cuddle time at 9 pm. Pet care will be tailored to your pet's needs, we can communicate about your pet's favorite toy, food, walk time, play time, etc, the more detail about your pet's routine would be great for all of us.
About: I have been dealing with dogs my whole life. I've babysat my neighbors dogs and friends dogs. I always keep in contact with the owner as much as possible. I communicate lot during the time away from your pets because I know it can be scary at times. But I am a trust worthy person. I just do what the instructions say to do with your pet. All of the animals always warm up to me after awhile. I have a dog of my own so I know how it's hard to trust a person to come into your home and take care of your animal. I love dogs. I am very responsible and nice person I get along with any dog I would say. Everyday any time I have free my schedule is changed a lot so we walk at different times other then that her food schedule is the same. Making sure they get the proper care by feeding them walking them everyday and of course playing time! And socializing them at dog parks too.
About: I have been petsitting since I was 11 years old, starting with dogs and cats in my neighborhood and branching out to friends and family all through town during college. I have 3 fur babies: 1 senior dog, 1 young adult dog, and 1 cat. I have experience with dogs with anxiety, reactive dogs, small dogs, large dogs, cats, and fish. I am happy to drop-in for a visit or take your dog on a walk! I am a homemaker who is interested in providing dog walks or drop-in visits for any pet around midday Monday through Friday. Do you need someone to let out your dog while you are at work? I am the girl for you! I am available for drop-in visits or dog walks in the client's home or neighborhood. I can walk dogs on a leash or let them out in your backyard. I can clean litter boxes and play with your cat. I can also feed your fish while you are away. Let me know what works for you :)
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a wide range of breeds and personalities—from a high-energy boxer to a Maltese and a laid-back basset hound—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. That experience helps me quickly read a dog’s needs, whether it’s giving puppies extra patience and structure or making sure senior dogs are comfortable and cared for at their own pace. I treat every dog like family and adjust my care to what makes them feel happiest and most at ease. I work from home Monday - Friday from 8-5, which gives me plenty of flexibility to take dogs out for walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I already aim to walk about 10k steps daily, so getting outside with your pup fits perfectly into my routine. I’m home most of the day and typically only step out briefly for the gym. On weekends, my schedule is relaxed and flexible. If your dog loves the beach, I’m often there soaking up the sun and fresh air—but if they prefer to stay in, I’m just as happy spending the weekend cuddling, playing, or keeping them company at home. I love adapting to each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved! I care for pets as if they were my own, focusing on consistency, safety, and making them feel comfortable in their environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines, since I know pets thrive on familiarity. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I’m attentive to behavior changes, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and cared for.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Been taking care of family dogs and had my own since I was a kid. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, patience, and care while their owners are away! I currently work part time but in 3 months I will be a stay at home mom. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication routines, and plenty of cuddle time. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep a close eye on their pets, and treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your dog if needed

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Bay
Tom was an amazing dog walker! He followed all of my instructions carefully and made sure everything was done exactly as requested. He even stayed a little extra to ensure my dog’s needs were fully taken care of, which I really appreciated. He was also great at sending updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and caring with their pets.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Palm Bay. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
