“She is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Not only did she take excellent care of Sunny, but she also went above and beyond to give attention and love to all of my pets. She was incredibly understanding and patient with my dog, who had recently undergone surgery, and she made sure to administer her medications exactly as needed. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them as if they were her own. Knowing that my pets were in such caring and trustworthy hands gave me so much peace of mind. Without a doubt, she will be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for my pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, loving, and truly dedicated to their pets!”
“Erika did a great job taking care of our pets especially our very old dog who is sometimes cranky with new people. She kept our dog in good spirits while we were gone.”
“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: I love pet sitting, it's my favorite full time job for this stage. The pets give me joy and purpose. I'm kind, dependable, and a ethical person. I'm transitioning into pet sitting full time, so let me know when you need my service and where. I'm a national pet sitter. I'm 5 star rated. I currently successfully care for pets nationally at client's homes only. I follow my client's detailed instructions and communicate as often as needed for updates.
“Samantha replied to all of my messages immediately. I am very picky with my dogs, so I had a detailed list of instructions, and she followed them precisely. One of my pups has an issue with snapping, but Samantha gave him his space and had no problems. I will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi! Im Andrea. I moved down to Vero Beach Dec ‘21 from North Dakota and now making my way up to Melbourne! I’m loving the florida life! Beaches are wayy better here. Back in north dakota i had 3 families I would pet set for. Ranging from small to big, lazy to extremely hyper I can handle it all! I’ve had many pets from 4 cats at time, a snake, to 3 cats and a dog, and now two cats. Please let me hangout with your animals before I go rescue every furbaby at the shelter. Open availability in September/October besides weekends. I work 12 hour shifts in east/central melbourne area, can most likely work out a potty break in that time if needed:) I have experience in residential Window Cleaning in high value properties in the Vero Beach area, I always have the upmost respect for another persons home, animals, and property. I can do small cleaning jobs as well for an additional price. I’m not willing to stay in another’s home overnight until a couple meet ups with pets and their owners for personal safety and comfortability reasons.
“Dominique was amazing with my four cats! She was very attentive and communicative. As a cat mom herself, she was able to pick up on my cats' personalities quickly which was very reassuring, I would definitely recommend her 😻🤗”
About: I’ve spent the last 18 years as a trusted Realtor in Brevard County, which means I’ve already met (and usually become friends with) a lot of the local cats and dogs. My clients trusted me with access to their homes, and I took that responsibility seriously every single time. I’ve also been a lifelong pet owner. From tiny Yorkies to Labs, retrievers, and plenty of cats with big personalities, caring for animals has always been one of my favorite parts of life. I spent my teens and early 20s volunteering with rescue cat and dog rescue groups in South Florida Confession: as a Realtor, I looked forward to seeing my clients’ pets more than the actual appointment. Don’t tell the humans. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and make sure your furry family member has a great time while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time in real estate so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Whether it’s a drop in for your cat, or multiple daily walks with your labrador, your pets care is my top priority. After 18 years in real estate, I know that trust is everything—especially when someone is caring for your home and your beloved pets. I’m responsible, respectful, and a little obsessed with making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away.
About: Loving, Experienced Dog Sitter — Boarding in My Home 🐾 “Hi, I’m Sam! I’m a caring and dependable animal lover who understands that pets are family. I took a break from dog sitting for a while because my own dog unfortunately wasn’t friendly with other dogs. He has since passed away, and I really miss having a dog around the house — so I’d love to welcome your furry family member into my home and give them lots of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I offer boarding in my home and doggy daycare, where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and I live in a dog-friendly gated community that’s great for walks. I’m also happy to take dogs to a nearby park for some extra exercise and adventure! I’m a huge animal lover and understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of affection, playtime, walks, attention, and cozy downtime — whatever makes them feel happy and at home. I also have a 4-month-old baby, so it’s very important that any dog staying with us is comfortable and gentle around babies and children. I want every pet (and my little one!) to feel safe, happy, and relaxed during their stay. I do accept several bookings at a time but if your pup is more comfortable being the only one in the home, accommodations can be made. I’d love the opportunity to spoil your pup with love and care while you’re away and give them a fun, safe, home-like place to stay! 🐶❤️ As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible daily schedule that allows for me to be home most of the day. I’m able to work walks, playtime, outdoor time, feeding, and lots of love into my normal routine. I’m also able to be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times when needed. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home while they’re here, so I’m happy to follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions you provide. Most importantly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and included as part of the family during their stay.
“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!)”
“Alexandra took great care of our fur family while we were out of town. Great communication and photos with each check in, that gave us such peace of mind while we were away! Thank you Alexandra!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets since I was in high school. I’m very responsible and am a calm presence around dogs. I pay attention to their energy and am intuitive about their needs. I have house sat and cared for dogs, cats, horses, cows, and chickens. I love animals and will make sure your furry friend is cared for and loved. I’m known for being responsible so that pet parents can rest easy knowing their pets are in good hands when they’re with me. I work from home full time, so if you need someone to keep your pet company during the day, let me know! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and a screened in pool that has an additional child protection gate if needed. Here’s what some of my clients have said about my work with pets: “Kenzi was made to care for animals! She is incredibly patient and gentle. Very aware of things happening around her. My dogs love when Kenzi comes around and I never have to worry, I know that they will be cared for as if I were there with them. She is a fabulous find!” -Eliza “Kenzi has been a house sitter for me for several times over the last few years. She has been responsible for taking care of my 2 horses, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. When I come home it’s like I just left, everyone is happy and healthy! She will make a great caregiver for anyone’s fur babies, whether well refined or rough around the edges like mine!” -Roberta I currently work from home and have a relatively flexible schedule, so I’d be happy to help with your pet needs. Detailed schedule tbd, but when I tell someone I’m going to be there, I follow through. I’m very responsible and respect the time of others, so I honor my commitments and make sure to follow through if I agree to something. In my home, I’m a remote worker, so I have the time and flexibility to make sure your pet is well taken care of. If your pet joins us, they will well taken care of in an air conditioned and quiet home in a safe neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard too so I can take them out to play and take potty breaks throughout the day. If your pet needs more attention and cuddles, I’m able to give them that attention during my work day so they feel safe and loved. In your house, I am respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure to leave a place as clean as when I arrived, and I will be a calm and reassuring presence for your pet so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. You can rest assured knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Mindy has been wonderfully patient with my nervous, and overly energetic baby. Seeing my dog get sooo excited to see Mindy a 2nd time was such a gift. Our pup thinks Mindy is now her special friend, there to visit her.”
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.
“Ebony has been a life saver for my family and I! My dogs are getting old and cannot be left home alone for extended period of time without some love and a potty break. She comes to my house every day that I work and does just that. My dogs get excited and meet her at the door, knowing that they are going to get some attention and a well deserved walk around the block. She has even brought over another 4 legged friend for my pups to enjoy some time with! She is very trustworthy, respects your home and your animals, and I cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I am a dog lover at my heart. I have professionally watched dogs for a couple years now and even have experience at a vet clinic as a vet tech. I have always had dogs since I could remember and there is truthfully nothing better. My boyfriend and I both work full time jobs but pet will always be cared for. We work morning jobs so we will be able to spend the evening with your pups. I have a wiener dog of my own and she is treated with respect and love. She loves other dogs and would love to help watch yours. I also just had a foster failure of a beagle mix who loves people and animals.
About: I have had dogs and cats most of my life. I started pet sitting in college and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages with and without medical needs. I currently have an 9 year old lab/border collie mix who I love dearly! And 3 cats ages 3 to 14 who bring me joy every day! I have a very flexible schedule and can visit your home multiple times a day, 7 days per week. Your pet will be cared for on their normal schedule. I currently care for my own pets with love and attention as they are a part of my family. They receive walks, play time, swimming and treats regularly!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Bay
This is my first time using Rover and I feel like I hit the jackpot! I went on a cruise and was really nervous about being so far away and connection issues etc. After 24 hours I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about and was able to relax and have fun. My elderly cat is sassy and very demanding but Sophia handled it like a champ and made sure to give me really detailed updates so I never had to worry about a thing.
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palm Bay is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 1,184 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
