About: I grew up on a farm and have had all types of animals big and small! I get to know each animal and provide them with the care they need. I will care for them like my own. I am currently in Nursing school but can try to accommodate to take care of your pets! I am free most weekends. My weekdays are mostly free after 12 or 1. I am very attentive to each animal and can provide trusting care. I will make sure they get potty breaks, play time, and plenty of love.

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Love to take them for walks and play time to get them out in the world. Currently not working set schedules, so I am available at all times to walk and care for your dog or puppies! Day or night, rain or shine! I am happy to play with the dogs at the owners home and take them on long walks. My place isn't set up for their care.

About: My love for animals started very young. My dad was always taking in stray cats, and I grew up with a dog as part of our family. That love of animals naturally led me to start caring for homes, children, and pets by the age of 14, so being a trusted caretaker has been part of my life for a long time. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, which is probably why I’m that person who wants to stop and pet every dog that passes me! I am, however, a very proud aunt to two lovely cats, Peter and Abraham. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I love getting to know their individual personalities. I’m active and energetic, so I’m always happy to get outside for a long walk, play, explore, or give an energetic dog the exercise and attention they need. I’m just as happy spending time cuddling with a pet or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while their family is away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak! I take pride in keeping a home clean, organized, and cared for. When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. My goal is for you to come home to happy, well-loved pets—and perhaps a home that’s even a little cleaner than when you left it. Most importantly, I understand the trust it takes to leave both your pets and your home in someone else’s hands. I’m dependable, attentive, loving, and will care for them as though they were my own. I’m currently a freelance makeup and nail artist, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet and house sitting. My freelance work is typically appointment-based, so if I do need to step out for a few hours, I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s routine and be back for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I love being active and getting outside, so having a four-legged walking companion fits naturally into my day! When house or pet sitting, I’m also happy spending time at home with your pets so they have companionship and can stay comfortable in their normal routine. I’m flexible and will always discuss your pet’s schedule and needs with you beforehand. I currently plan to provide care primarily in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know every pet and household has its own routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding and medications to litter care, playtime, companionship, and all the little habits that help your pet feel safe and happy. I’m very attentive to an animal’s personality and cues. Some pets want constant affection and company, while others need a little time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I’m also extremely clean and organized and very respectful of other people’s homes. I’ll keep pet areas, bowls, litter areas, and the spaces I use clean and tidy. My goal is for you to come home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a home that may be even a little cleaner than when you left it!

About: Hi! My name is Jesse, and I’m a 21-year-old college student with a passion for staying active and helping others. While I’m new to Rover and don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and attentive to details. I currently work in customer service roles where communication, punctuality, and creating a positive experience are essential. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, overnight care, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a student with a flexible class schedule, pet sitting fits easily into my week. I have plenty of open time for mid-day drop-ins, feeding, walks, and evening visits, making it easy to accommodate your pet's routine. Whether visiting your home or caring for your pet, safety and clear communication are my top priorities. I follow all feeding and care instructions strictly, keep living spaces clean, and send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe.

About: Currently working from home full time. Any animal interaction is great for me. I love all animals. I have two cats, that are very chill and love all dogs. I love playing fetch, going on walks or just sitting at home and cuddling on the couch together. Dogs are family members and best friends. I can give them baths as frequently as needed and any other special tasks they might require, I am your girl for this job! I work from home with a few set meetings throughout the week, however, I am able to work around those times as they are not typically longer than 60 minutes. i have no issues staying at a customers house to ensure their baby is comfortable and happy. I love cuddling with dogs in bed, on the couch or wherever! I can also read when space is needed :)

About: I am a magnet to most of my friends' dogs! I love to walk them, and play with them! I worked at a PetSmart & absolutely loved working around dogs!! Even helped a trainer. Adoption center too!! I think I prefer working around animals a bit more than working around people! Just kidding! I'm a people person as well. Have been in customer service for over 30 years of my life. Makes me very happy, and elated to work around animals. I don't mind cleaning up, or bathing dogs either. I have also helped take care of animals, at the VetSmart, when there was a tropical storm in Florida back in the 2007. I was happy to do so. Walked, fed, and medicated the animals that needed it. I would be available on weekends, possibly some evenings. I am an animal lover! I am really wanting to be helpful to someone that needs a dog walker, or sitter. I’m new to the area, have worked with Rover for over 10! years. Currently live where there is a small high energy dog. I have an open schedule. There is a fenced front yard and fenced backyard. The dog that lives here is used to socializing at the doggy park. Not sure about how social he is around other dogs in his yard.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals in both home and shelter settings, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m currently in medical residency, and as an MD I bring a calm, responsible, and detail-oriented approach—so your pet is always in safe, attentive hands. I also have experience with basic training for young pets like house training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. Most of all, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency. I can accommodate feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I adjust my schedule to ensure pets are always cared for before and after other commitments. I also set aside extra time weekly for longer walks, enrichment, and cleaning. I am currently in MD residency, so some weeks are busier than others, but I am very communicative—please let me know your needs and I will do my best to make it work. I provide a safe and calm environment where pets are always supervised and treated with care. I follow all owner instructions closely and maintain household security. In a client’s home, I respect the space, value privacy and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: Family would always host pets. I’ve had many pets growing up, including tortoises, birds, ferrets, etc! It’s important to me that they are treated with care and patience and I have the experience for that! I currently work an 8-5 so I am available after work. I am available on weekends! I’m pretty good at coordinating and working around my schedule to make sure I can do the job ! I personally like the companionship of animals. I think care, attention, and patience is vital to caring for any animal. I understand I am there to just care for the pet so I want to respect the homeowners privacy and make sure they feel comfortable working with me

I remember contacting Kailey before but her schedule didn’t work for us. Thank God this time she was available and my instinct was not wrong. Kailey was sweet, responsible and kept the litter area clean. Kailey sent us the pictures daily and left daily notes. We are very happy with her and will definitely contact her in near future.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Palm Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palm Beach is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $56 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 3,178 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palm Beach. 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 Beach. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
