“We are so happy to have found CJ! She took excellent care of our little Ava and treated her like family. Ava became fast friends with CJ's dog Beau and they enjoyed hanging out and playing with each other. We really appreciated all the updates, videos and pictures that showed us how much fun she was having, which made us relax and have a good time on our vacation, knowing Ava was in great hands. Thanks again CJ for the meet and greet before her stay and for watching Ava. We appreciate all that you do!”
About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a little girl! My grandma had 10 dogs while I grew up and everyday I’d spend it with the dogs/puppies. I have worked in a doggy daycare and also groomed. I will care and love for your animals just as you would if you were home with them 🤍 I currently work at an ice cream shop but I’m flexible in the hours. I’m off Fridays and Sundays and can have them stay in my home on weekends ! My apartment complex is animal friendly! My apartment is open concept with an open kitchen so I can easily watch and care for your pet :)
“Gabriella is so accommodating and watched my dog for 12 hours for day care! Amazing communication and sends cute pictures and videos. Thank you for taking great care of Mona! 🩷”
“Jennifer took great care of our dog. She even sent us pictures of our dog, which is great! I will definitely recommend her to other people in need of a dog sitter. We will trust her again with our fur baby.”
“Rachel was an awesome dog sitter for the weekend! We have never used rover before and were apprehensive with leaving Sadie with a stranger, but she made the experience fantastic. She provided regular updates and photos, and Sadie was as happy as can be, and got plenty of exercise and fun with Rachel's kids. We will absolutely be relying on Rachel again for dog sitting!”
About: I now have 1 doggie of my own whom I share with my husband, she is a blue healer who loves to play, get pets constantly and also relax. We just recently lost our boy, he was 16 and lived a great life! I have been around pets my whole life so taking care of your pet/pets should be a synch 😁. I do have a bit of experience with senior care, I can give meds if needed, but I am not familiar with giving shots if needed. We did train our dogs with a few tricks as well if that is something you are working on. I work from home and I have a very flexivle schedule, so I have some free time for a little side job, why not make it pet sitting/walking/feeding. I take care of my pet like you would take care of yours. She goes outside and plays, sometimes I sit outside or throw a ball or tug of war. Sometimes we just sit out there relaxing. I feed her twice a day, constant flow of water with plenty of potty breaks. I also walk her around the neighborhood when it isn't super hot so mostly evening times if the temperature is right. We also just hang out inside and just snuggle or just lay around.
About: I’ve always had a special love for animals and the happiness they bring into our lives! I genuinely enjoy being around pets, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Whether your fur baby enjoys outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having a friendly companion, I’m excited to make every experience a positive one! You can count on me to respect your instructions, communicate openly, and keep you updated with adorable pictures and messages. I understand that your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the same care and consideration I’d want for my own. Your trust means everything, and I want you to feel at ease knowing your fur baby is in caring, responsible hands! Currently active duty but I strive to be flexible and dependable. I’ll communicate with you about scheduling to make sure your baby’s needs fit comfortably into my day. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a walk, or some playtime, I’m excited to make your pet feel loved and cared for! 💗🐾 My goal is to make every fur baby feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home! I follow your instructions closely, maintain their usual feeding and activity routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime. I also respect your home, keep their spaces clean, and provide regular updates and cute pictures so you always know how your baby is doing! Every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to make their experience fun, stress free, and full of love!
“Fen was great! She sent multiple updates and photos of our dog Quincy and made sure Quincy was comfortable. Our dog has really bad separation anxiety but Fen made sure he got a lot of walks and was comfortable during his stay.”
“Aubriellyn was very attentive to both of my dogs. She also kept me up to date on how they both were doing and sent pictures as well. I would love to have her watch them again in the future.”
“Dominique took such amazing care of our sweet boy, Odin! He was so spoiled with many walks and playtime. Excellent communication and Dominique sent many photos of all the fun adventures. I’m sure Odin can’t wait for us to take another trip so he can go visit Dominque again ❤️”

I am experienced with animals of all ages and species. As an avid animal lover, my heart is dedicated to providing the utmost care and compassion for your beloved companions. Just as I would for my own cherished pets, I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where your animals will receive the same affection, attention, and respect they deserve. Your pets' well-being is my top priority, and I am dedicated to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and loved under my watchful care. I pet sit full time and my availability is completely open, so I will have more than enough time to dedicate and play with your furry companion ! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dog to roam and run. All animals in my home are pet friendly. I have no issues keeping pets separated if required.

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.
“Victoria was great! She was super helpful and flexible when we needed a last minute sitter for our boy Blue. He was well taken care of and had lots of fun. Victoria is super responsive and made our dog feel at home.”

“Carly is amazing and has such a nurturing spirit. The first night was kinda of rough as my Keema had to get used to being with someone new. However, Carly was calm and understanding! After the first night, Keema was very comfortable with her. Carly sent pictures and kept me informed everyday with messages through the app and to my phone. I think that her rate fits the level of care she provides! I feel confident with leaving my Keema in her care and know that the next time will be just as easy for both of us! Thank you Carly”
“April absolutely deserves 5 stars! She was thorough with questions about our dog, very thoughtful with the meet and greet, and all around made us feel super comfortable. She sent pictures and updates throughout our trip so we never had to worry about our dog. He went on daily walks and had a ton of fun with her dogs. We would definitely recommend April!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Bay
Gretchen and her family are truly the best. They took such wonderful care of Molly, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Molly gets nervous during thunderstorms, and she was staying with them during the terrible flash flooding in Brevard County. Gretchen went above and beyond to make sure our baby felt safe and comforted, giving her extra love and attention during the storms. She also kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind.We absolutely love leaving Molly in their care. Gretchen and her family are trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely loving pet sitters. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for our girl. Highly recommend them! ❤️
I want to sincerely thank her for the excellent care she gave to my dog Deuce. She was always attentive, communicative, and patiently answered all of my questions. She also kept me updated at all times with photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her 100% for the care, dedication, and love she puts into her work. We look forward to booking with you in the future.
Brandi is a genuinely caring and attentive pet-sitter! She accepted our pittie as a client, (most pet sitters won’t), and followed all my instructions to the letter. She communicated and sent pics throughout their time together. She gave Molly extra attention when she was anxious during thunderstorms. We feel confident in Brandi, as she works as veterinarian tech. But it’s really her kindness that won us over! We will definitely use her again!
Adam and Katie were absolutely wonderful dog sitters! They were easy to communicate with, responded promptly, and sent plenty of photo updates throughout the stay so I knew my dog was in great hands. I would book with them again in a heartbeat and encourage others to do the same.
Brittani is great! She really cares about the well being of your pet and she shares pictures and communicates professionally throughout the entire time. Overall positive experience and I felt more than comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would highly recommend, especially if you want someone who cares!
what could be more important than who takes care of your dogs? Bailey is a wonderfully caring, loving, responsible, responsive professional who took excellent care of my two dogs. She is a pleasure to work with and I will be back again and again - Bailey is the best!
We could not do a meet and greet in advance because we are not local. We had some back and forth conversation to give both of us peace of mind that this was a good fit. I can confirm it was a great fit. Theresa appeared to be attentive to my 3 doodle mixes. She sent frequent pictures and communications. I could tell through the photos that my fur babies felt safe (i.e. sleeping on back). I would absolutely love my fur babies to visit again next time we are in the area.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Palm Bay is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 per night. 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.
There are 510 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Palm Bay. About 95% of Palm Bay sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
