“Lori is wonderful and so loving with the dogs. 2 of the dogs are very skittish and don't like new people but they instantly took to her. Thank you for taking care of our pups... it allowed us to enjoy our family wedding knowing they were in good hands!”

About: As an empty nester and lifelong animal lover, I have plenty of love and attention to give your furry family member! With no other pets at home, your pup will get my undivided attention, lots of affection, and plenty of one-on-one care. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat yours just like my own! Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. ❤️🐾 As an empty nester, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals! I love staying active, getting outdoors, and going for walks, so spending time with your furry family member fits perfectly into my daily routine. Whether it’s a nice walk, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I look forward to giving them plenty of love, attention, and care! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, personalized care for your pet in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and plenty of companionship. I have a large yard with both grassy and patio areas, although it is not fenced. When your pet needs to go outside, I take them out on a leash and supervise them closely. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so walks and outdoor play fit naturally into my day. Most importantly, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Audrey was an absolutely perfect fit for us! She is reliable and trustworthy. Audrey kept us informed each day with pictures and videos of our animals & property. Audrey went above and beyond while caring for our home and farm. She made us feel very at ease while away from home.”
“Camila was great, our pets can be difficult, Jett is afraid of thunderstorms and Camila handled them well. We came home to happy pets and a clean house. She kept in contact the whole time with updates and pictures.”
“Lisa was great. She stayed at our house and took care of our pets and our home. She communicated with us before and during the stay. She came over to meet the dogs and learn about staying at the house. She sent pictures of the dogs during her stay. When we returned home the dogs were healthy and happy AND our house was tidy and clean. Would definitely recommend Lisa. She loves dogs!”
About: Hi, I’m a 30-year-old pet sitter based in Florida! I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life—starting at age 14 with family and friends’ animals and continuing professionally on Rover for the past 5 years. Two years ago I moved to Florida, and I’m excited to keep helping local pets and their owners. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds, including caring for my parents’ two Westies (now 7 and 5 years old) back home. I’m also very comfortable with cats and have looked after many over the years. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just providing calm companionship, I treat every pet like my own and always follow your routines and preferences. Availability: I work a standard Monday–Friday 9–5 schedule, so I’m not available for drop-ins or walks during those hours. I can offer a quick mid-day (lunchtime) walk of up to 30 minutes on weekdays. I’m much more flexible evenings, early mornings, weekends, and holidays—perfect for overnight sits, longer daytime visits, or weekend care. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I’d love to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family member—feel free to reach out with any questions! Pet care fits into my routine around my full-time job. I work Monday through Friday from 9–5, so during those hours I’m only available for a quick mid-day (lunchtime) walk of up to 30 minutes. Outside of that, I’m much more flexible — early mornings, evenings after 5, weekends, and holidays work well for me. That means I can easily handle overnight stays, longer daytime visits, weekend boarding, or regular evening walks. I plan my week in advance and always leave buffer time so I’m never rushing between clients. You’ll get consistent, reliable care that fits around both of our schedules. I provide care both in clients’ homes and (when appropriate) in my own home, always matching the service to what works best for the pet and the owner. In your home (drop-in visits, dog walking, or house-sitting): I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedule, medication, walk routes, playtime, and any special preferences you share. I keep them comfortable in their own space, send photo and video updates, and make sure the house is left secure and tidy. For overnight house-sitting I’m fully present in your home so your pet has consistent companionship and the least disruption possible. In my home (if boarding is arranged): I create a calm, supervised environment with a dedicated space for your pet. They receive individual attention, regular potty breaks/walks, playtime, and the same feeding and care routine they follow at home. I never leave pets unsupervised for long stretches and always separate animals when needed for safety and comfort. No matter the location, I treat every pet with patience and respect, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“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. ❤️🐾”
About: I am a registered nurse who could really benefit from some extra money in this tough time. Have a 8 year-old German Shepherd, and 2 year-old cat. They are my precious angels. Will love your animals as if they were my own!! I want your pet to be happy, healthy, and comfortable. I am available every Sunday/Monday and every other Tuesday. I am awake fairly early and am unable to provide walks or visits after 8 PM. My only time restriction is Sunday between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM. In my home, I feed my dog twice a day and my cat once a day. I changed the water bowl three times a day because my cat likes freshwater. My dog gets 3 to 4 walks a day. Both animals get snuggles and pets. I will frequently play fetch or chase my cat around the house and occasionally do the same with my dog.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, but currently, am a mom to 3 of them, so I know a thing or two… from >5 lbs to 100… I got you! I’ve been dog sitting for others for almost 5 years now, and actually just spent the last few months volunteering at a local Vet’s office… so I know doggy CPR now if needed! Call/message me and I can be there ASAP! Monday, Tuesday, whenever, I got you ! I’m sure we can work something out !! 🩷 🐾 I don’t offer services in my home, since my dogs are veeeery jealous when another is around to steal all the back scratches and belly rubs, but I can guarantee that they don’t mind when i get out of the house for a few hours 🤣 In your home, I promise to provide a nurturing environment, with the same structure and routine you’d force if you were there. Whether it’s overnight or two weeks, I’ll love on your animals like they’re my own!
“Amber did an amazing job watching my fur babies! They took to her like they'd known her their whole lives, which is amazing, since my pets are usually standoffish. Amber sent me pictures and updates daily, so I felt comfortable with the care she was providing! I would 100% recommend Amber to watch your pets. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and she treated them like they were her own. They were so happy with her care, and so was I! I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Glenn was just fantastic. He was very reliable and came for two meet and greets before sitting to be sure our dogs knew him. He wanted to make sure he had all the information he needed to take good care of our two dogs. He sent us pictures while we were away and kept us informed of what was happening. It's very obvious he loves dogs and they love him. I will definitely use his services again!”
“Cristina was absolutely amazing. She dog sat for us while we went away for a whole week. And she was so great with our dog. She sent me pictures and videos and updates the entire time. Made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her. He was a bit shy in the beginning being this was his first time without us for that long and before I knew it he warmed up to her and was all cuddled up with her. I am so grateful to have found her. If you are questioning if you should hire her, think no more! You wont be disappointed. Now im happy to know I can call her whenever we need to be out of town. She was truly a blessing. Not one complaint. Reliable and so loving to our baby. Highly highly recommend.”
About: I've been caring for my family's and family friends' dogs ever since I was 10 years old; I've learned what to do in all kinds of different situations and I always make my animal's safety my first priority. I've administered medicines and applied creams to my animals. I am very safe and cautious with the animals I am watching and I remember rules and guidelines that have been established. I am a certified pet groomer so I can bathe, give a haircut, or do your pets nails as well. :) I currently work a mix of at-home and out, but I'm able to leave anytime. I'm off Sundays and Mondays so those days are completely free. I live in an apartment with no other animals. There are dogs parks and lots of grassy areas in my neighborhood. I have pet beds and food/water bowls for pets that I sit.
“Lily was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet and Maverick liked her right away. Then for his overnight she stayed with him until we returned. She did a great job making sure he got his walk and lots of snuggles. He was happy and calm when we returned. We will definitely have Lily stay with him again when we have to leave him for any length of time. Loved Lily!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and no dog is too large for me to handle and care for. I have kitty cat experience as well I’m home most of the time till I have to go to work which is a very flexible for me or if I need to go run errands I have a super sweet dog at home that has no issues with any animals and I have a crate if needed for your pup.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm City
Gregory did a wonderful job. This was our first experience with Rover. And Gregory was our first person to respond. We had several others but we liked him from the very beginning. Our fur babies Sophie and bubba both loved him. They kept us informed, took great care of the dogs and the house and all our deliveries. Will definitely have him back again soon. Thanks so much, Gregory. 👍❤️👍❤️

The average cost of House Sitting in Palm City is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $104 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 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.
