We will see you again in the future and best of wishes to you in life! ?”

About: Hi! I’m Trianna, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life—I've had three since I was little, each with their own personality, quirks, and needs, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds and energy levels. I currently live with two cats, so I also understand the importance of respecting boundaries and caring for different types of pets. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just giving your pup some company and attention while you're away, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’m reliable, patient, and love building trust with the pets I care for. Currently employed at a pet daycare/ boarding business so I have all my clearances and training to work with any type of animal :) Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I am currently training as a pilot so my early mornings has me working till around 11. I am free on most weekends and am willing to wake up as early as needed to give your pet the attention it needs :)) Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide and take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. I use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and never leave pets unattended. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog or cat feels safe, loved, and cared for—just like they would with you.
About: I have a big dog of my own and know what it's like to be worried about the kind of people takihng care of your dog while you are away. I hope give each familypeace of mind as they trust me with their furry friend! I am a medical student full time so I have plenty of time to walk, sit, and feed your pets with pretty short notice if need be! I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and routine. Before providing care, I review the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special requirements. I ensure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and enrichment. In a client's home, I respect their routines and keep pets in familiar surroundings to reduce stress. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and communicate updates regularly with the owner.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Bay
We were a little nervous about leaving our pups with someone we didn't know but we instantly liked Matthew and felt confident in him. He did a great job taking care of the dogs and our house also looked great upon our return. He stayed in contact with us as needed and replied to our messages promptly. I highly recommend Matthew. Thanks!!!
Dunkin loves Katie and her husband Adam! The pictures and videos she sent me every evening show a relaxed and happy dog. Dunkin was treated like a little (senior) king and he had a wonderful staycation while we were out of town. It is so much easier to relax on vacation when we know that Dunkin is happy and well taken care of. She even feeds the fish! This is the second time we have used Katie and Adam and we will definitely use them again.
Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with . My animals adjusted nicely to her . She was able to handle multiple responsibilities like mail , 3 pets and several times a day . She was always responsive and has a cheerful personality. I’m thankful to have found Laura for our getaway .

This is the first time we have used Jen for dog sitting and we were very pleased. She sent us photos of Dunkin throughout the week and he looked very relaxed. If she had any questions about Dunkin's care and/or the house, she reached out and texted me. Jen made this a very relaxing vacation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Palm Bay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palm Bay on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 689 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palm Bay. 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 Bay 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 Bay 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 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!
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 Bay. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
