“Jaycee was great to work with! We appreciated her enthusiasm to work with our cats. Jaycee was very flexible and communicative with us which made it a breeze to work with her. She is very experienced with cats which made us more at ease with having her take care of them. She even persisted with attempting to give our grumpy old cat medicine. We would absolutely recommend Jaycee and use her services again in the future.”
“Sophia goes above and beyond in her caregiving! We were traveling to Disney for a few days and needed someone to care for our sweet senior dog Rosie. She is basically our baby and Sophia did absolutely everything we asked, plus more. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Rosie!”
“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.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs for my entire life, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and a genuine passion for providing quality pet care. In addition to my personal experience as a lifelong dog owner, I spent a year working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Through this experience, I developed skills in supervising group play, monitoring behavior, maintaining feeding and medication schedules, and ensuring that each dog received individualized attention and care. Working in a professional pet care environment taught me the importance of patience, reliability, and clear communication with pet owners. As a college student with a flexible schedule and a love for animals, I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while maintaining your pet’s normal routine, creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pets. I am a full time college student, going into my third year at Florida Tech, with a class schedule I can work around. I have classes four days a week, with a mix of morning and afternoon availability. Aside from being a student, I have a part-time job with flexible hours, so I can work out times around both schedules! For walks, sitting, and overnight stays, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific preferences or routines. During walks, I make sure pets get appropriate exercise while keeping them safe and supervised. For sitting and overnight stays, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make sure the home is kept clean and secure and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“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.”
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 )
“Amanda is an excellent pet care professional. She’s always on time and was very easy to set up care for my 4 month old puppy. She goes above and beyond, and clearly cares for animals. She was a vet tech and is currently studying to be a vet. Would highly recommend Amanda if you are looking for someone who is friendly, trustworthy, dependable and knowledgeable with pets.”
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.
“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.”
“Excellent care provided frequent updates and photos. Followed the care instructions exactly and was responsive to messages. I would absolutely book again and recommend to friends and family.”
“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.”
“Cynthia was amazing with with our two dogs. The pictures she sent during every visit was very nice. Our kids loved seeing the updates on their staycation with her. The dogs were excited to see her and get some one on one time with her when she visited. We would recommend and would use her again for other trips we can’t bring our dogs to.”
About: Hi, I'm a caring and experienced pet lover offering dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Safety and your pet's happiness are my top priorities! Pet care can fit into your daily or weekly routine by setting specific times for feeding, walking, and playing. For example, I might feed your pet every morning and evening, walk them after work, and set aside time on weekends for longer play sessions. I will always make sure they have plenty of water and food, pets, walks, and play time before I leave. I will make sure they are set for when you come home
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Palm Bay is $20
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.
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.
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!)

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palm Bay. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
