About: Hi there! 😊 I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud dog mom of three amazing pups, including my sweet 11-year-old beagle, Rosco, and my two energetic Staffordshire Terriers. For over 11 years, I’ve been the primary caregiver for every part of their lives, from daily walks, feeding, playtime, and enrichment to administering medications, cleaning ears, treating skin irritations, monitoring health changes, and helping them through illnesses, injuries, and vet visits. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities because I believe every pet deserves individualized care. I know every wag, happy dance, and goofy personality is different, and getting to know what makes your pet feel comfortable is one of my favorite parts of the job. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy, a shy sweetheart, or a senior who needs a little extra patience, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone else. I’ll care for your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, and I’ll always send regular updates and plenty of photos so you can see exactly how your best friend is doing. 🐾💛 Pet care is something I truly enjoy and have built into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, an evening walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and responsive. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your routines, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I treat my own and make sure everything is secure before I leave. Communication is incredibly important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages after every visit. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands from the moment I arrive until the moment I leave.
“Our dog Kelsey has a new best buddy. Tracy did a wonderful job with our high energy German Shorthaired Pointer. Fortunately, Tracy has just about as much energy as Kelsey. We'll definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”
“Aaliyah was absolutely fabulous with my 3 month old puppy. She stayed the entire time during my house sit and sent lots of update pictures to ease my nerves of leaving him for the first time. I strongly recommend Aaliyah and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Megan is amazing! She sends us photos and updates every day which helps when you're missing your furbabies. She is very dependable and trustworthy. We have a senior dog who takes daily meds and Megan is exceptional with ensuring she gets her meds on schedule. This is our 2nd time using Megan and we'll definitely be using her in the future.”
“We were extremely happy with the care Megan provided. This was our first time using Rover with house/pet sitter and so happy we did. We came home from our 5 day trip to a very happy Brady! Megan sent us pictures and messages daily and our Brady looked like he was enjoying the extra attention. We will certainly use Megan again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She watched my two year old golden retriever for four days. She sent me photos and updates daily and gave me a great peace of mind knowing someone was taking care of my dog the same way I would!”
“My 3 dogs were taken care of for 2 weeks at my home and they were all fine and no issues with escaping. One of them realized she could jump my fence right before I left but there was no escaping when I was gone because she kept the doors locked. My dog checks! She handled them and I had peace of mind.”
“Janine did a great job of caring for Lily and she spoiled her with many walks to her favorite park! She communicated well with me and my house wa in great shape when I came home.”
“Heidi was dependable, ensured that our 8 yo Border Collie got plenty of exercise, kept us up to date with pictures and was very respectful in staying at our house. We would definitely use Heidi again!”
“Jessica took amazing care of our boy Blue - he got such much pool time and lots of cuddles which made him a happy boy. I appreciated all the feedback and beautiful pictures and the house was left nice and tidy. Thank you Jessica!!”
“Tara did a great job house and dog sitting with our senior chihuahua Dudley. She sent pictures and updated us during the day and always responded to messages promptly. We will definitely have Tara house/dog sit for us again.”
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I have also helped with giving them their medication. I am able to be there all day and night with them and love going for walks. I also like to keep the owner updated everyday on the phone. I currently work remote and I am able to stay all day and night. I make my own schedule and can be free to play with the animals whenever as well as take them for a walk whenever. Everyone that I dog sit or cat sit for likes it when I stay over and I make sure to go a day before to meet the pets and have the owner walk me through what an average day looks like so that I imitate it and keep the same schedule. While I’m there I like to keep the house clean.
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs for friends and family members. Most of my experience is with smaller dogs, including cockapoos, yorkies, and golden doodles. I also had two cats for many years. Currently I am working as a substitute teacher, so my schedule is very open. I live in Stuart, so if you live in the area and need a sitter, I’d love to get in touch! I am a recent college graduate and I don’t yet have a full time job, so I would be very happy to take care of your pet. I can do multiple days in a row if needed. I am currently living with my aunt and uncle who have a very sweet cockapoo named Molly. I can definitely bring her over for a playdate if you want! Other than that, just tell me what your fur baby needs and I look forward to meeting them!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm City
Where do I even start with Kelsey? She is truly the most amazing pet sitter I have ever encountered. She is caring, loving, responsible, and incredibly detail-oriented. My dogs are my babies, and I take their care very seriously. Kelsey understood that from the very beginning and paid attention to every little detail that mattered to me. My dogs are seniors and require medication, and Kelsey was extremely careful and attentive with everything. She went above and beyond, checking in with me regularly and sending pictures and updates about their day. Most importantly, she genuinely loved and cared for my dogs — and they absolutely loved her back! I was very nervous about hiring someone through Rover because my dogs had never been left overnight without us. Kelsey completely put my mind at ease, and I am so grateful that I found her. She is not only an amazing pet sitter, but also a wonderful human being with a great sense of humor. I trust Kelsey completely and would hire her again in a heartbeat. If you are considering her to care for your babies, don’t think twice — she is the one! And trust me, I’m a mama bear when it comes to my babies. ❤️🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Palm City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palm City on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 992 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palm City. 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 City 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 City 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 City 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 City. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
