“Thank you, Summer for coming over on short notice ... AND for going above and beyond and bring a big, heavy package inside for me. It was bigger than you are! You're the BEST!”
“Margot took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. Her updates and photos were great, the feeding and litter box areas were clean, and the cats were happy and relaxed when we got home.”
“If you are trying to find someone to trust within your home and with your precious animals then Jeana is the one to choose! I booked her last minute and she was available and eager to take over. Sent images / updates twice a day and not only took care of my cats but my home as well! Anything you need just communicate and she will get it done, I never thought I would find someone so trusting and kind and the fact that she left a card for us when we came home was a whole new level! Thank you again for watching my fur babies and we will 100% be rebooking!”

“We were out of the country for two weeks on vacation. Debbie took great care of our 4 cats. We received detailed updates every day. Debbie made an effort to give pets and attention to everyone. She tidied up around the litter boxes, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to care for our fur babies again.”
About: I am a dog lover and I have owned dogs for over 40 years now. I am currently on my third dog. She is a 16-year-old beagle named Bailey. I live in the beautiful Innisbrook Golf Resort, which is a 900 acre gated community with lots of sprawling land. There are four golf courses, lots of shady trees, beautiful landscaping, and quiet sidewalks for dog walking. The entire resort is dog friendly. They even host a once a month “Yappy Hour” in which all dog owners are welcome to meet up on the restaurant back deck for treats that the chef bakes especially for dogs. I have been a caretaker for a friend’s dog for over five years. The dog (Brookie) was diabetic and elderly… and has recently passed. I have experience administering insulin with no problems and sticking to a strict diet if needed. I also have experience giving animals pills (my dog has to take two a day) I would love to care for your dog while you go on vacation and provide your dog a loving and fun adventure as well. I am a retired non-smoker and will provide your pet 24 hour care and I love to take lots of little walks throughout the day in the beautiful property I live at. Innisbrook Golf Resort is completely gated, therefore provides a quiet sanctuary rich with lush landscaping and beautifully maintained grounds. There are lots of old shady trees to walk under, as well as the golf courses in the evening after golf is done for the day. There is also a dog park within Innisbrook if your dog likes to play with others. My 16-year-old beagle will provide canine companionship. She is very gentle and sweet and is always willing to go for a walk!
About: I grew up on a horse ranch in Northern California caring for all of our farm animals - horses, sheep, cows, chickens and goats. We even had a llama and donkeys! I competed my horses on the national level and was actively involved in an equestrian organization as an upper level member helping to teach younger children how to ride and care for their horses as well. We always had numerous dogs and cats on the ranch that were my pets too. My beloved Labrador, Raven, was my constant companion for eleven years before I lost her to cancer. My experience with various animals enables me to give your beloved family member the attention it needs while you are away. I care for my parents 14 year old Maltese who needs several medications daily. As such, I am very good at ensuring that medical needs can be met if needed. I am going to school to become a Medical Assistant and have the time devote to care giving as I study. I am starting school to become a Medical Assistant. I live in a lovely home with a nice yard. I will be able to spend time with your pet as I study from home. I love walking through our safe community so if your dog needs lots of walks, that is a bonus for me! I have a lovely fenced yard or can come to your house as well. I always make sure your pet's routine is maintained with their feeding schedule, giving any medications required and making sure they get lots of love and attention.
“Rick did a great job and treated my Ozzy like he was one of his own. I would highly recommend his services his background in dogs is impressive. Will be using his services again in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years, and it’s something I’ve genuinely loved doing from the start. I grew up helping my family with pet sitting we’ve all been on Rover so I’ve had plenty of hand on experience. I’m really comfortable with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies who need extra time and energy to senior pets who need a little more patience and care. I’m all about making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their people are away. I also used to run a small reptile rescue, so while dogs and cats are my main focus, I’ve picked up a lot of useful skills when it comes to handling animals with different needs and personalities Pet care fits really well into my daily routine! I’m a full time college student, but my classes are scheduled in a way that keeps my mornings and afternoons free. I’m available every day of the week before 5 PM, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop ins, feedings, and just spending quality time with your pet. I’m super flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what your pet needs When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, I always follow your instructions whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or special routines. I know how much it means for them to stay comfortable and happy in their own space. I treat every home and pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.
“This was my 2nd booking with Sierra and both times she has been excellent with my babies ! Appreciate her photos and detailed notes about everything. Can’t wait to book again!”
“I needed a last minute sitter and Elizabeth came through. My dogs looked happy when I came home and I was able to enjoy my evening knowing my dogs were well cared for. Highly recommend.”
“Holly was always very diligent about updating to walks and providing pictures. Her and our puppy got along great. Appreciated the reliable check ins while we were gone. Will definitely seek her out again.”
“Avary is a bright and communicative person with a such wonderful positive energy. Her care of my furbabies was great (and professional), and she was especially attentive to the fact that we just moved to a new place. She was patient and reassuring to them, which made me feel all the more reassured and confident while I was away. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Sandy’s first drop in with Torie went great, she was a happy girl when we got home and she took to Sandy right away at our meet and greet. We are looking forward to many more visits from her and are very pleased with her as our pet sitter.”

“Christy took good care of my three cats for 2 weeks. She showed up on time , took pictures, played everyday, cleaned litter boxes, swept, did whatever was necessary and beyond. I would recommend Christy to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: I have been pet sitting and walking for a decade now and have my own pets. I can handle small and big dogs as well as young and old dogs. I go at their speed with a gentle push so we get some distance in too. I work from home most days and that allows a flexible schedule to get plenty of play time and walks in throughout the day or I care for them like my own and cuddle as much as possible if they like that. If not we just chill and keep each other company
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Palm Harbor is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Harbor
Summer was absolutely amazing with all three of my boys! She had a last-minute availability which I needed after my normal sitter had a family emergency the day before I go out of town on a business trip for a week. She was great at communicating and very flexible with her scheduling due to an issue with my automatic door lock. I could tell that she genuinely liked seeing my boys and that they were excited to see her everytime she cake over. My boys seemed almost disappointed when I came in and it wasn't summer lol 😹she was also very sweet and left framed photos of my cats from her visit with them. I look forward to booking her next time it's needed!
Courtney was fantastic! I have one cat in particular on a daily medication and she always made sure that Mumble got her medication. She sent so many pictures! And when I returned home my girls were relaxed and happy and I so appreciate it. Knowing that they felt loved and cared for while I was gone. Courtney was also wonderfully detailed, noticing and alerting me to small things around the house while I was gone as well as changing the waters frequently.
Andrea did a wonderful job as our pet sitter. Our cat requires medications at specific times of the day, and Andrea was flexible enough with her schedule to accommodate this. She was always on time with the medications and did a great job! I highly recommend her!
Another great experience with Alex. Our kitties miss her already. Alex does a great job with our gang and even got our shy girl Tribble to at least come out of hiding and watch the boys play with the feather stick. Tribble participating is another thing! Alex shows up early, checks in on the app, and she brought in packages that showed up that we thought we stopped and let us know they were there. She was concerned about something being wrong with our gas fireplace and sent pictures. Turns out nothing was wrong just an old fashioned pilot light system from the 90s but we most definitely appreciate her checking on it. Alex sends lots of pictures and spends time playing with the kitties. When we have out pre trip meetup to go over things our big guy meets her at the door and sits on her lap the whole time she is here. We highly recommend Alex. You will not be disappointed!
We were a little uneasy using the Rover app for the first time but needed a last minute sitter for our dog and cat. Linda was amazing and exceeded expectations. She took great care of our animals, communicated with us and followed up multiple times throughout the visit. Our dog was a little timid at first but quickly warmed up to Linda and loved the attention. Thank you and we will definitely book again ❤️
Amanda was wonderful! She came by twice today to check on and walk Novi while we were at the beach all day, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing Novi was in great hands. We absolutely love her, and Novi does too! We’re so grateful for how dependable, caring, and sweet she is. Highly recommend!
Jennifer did a fantastic job caring for my dog while I was out of town. From the moment we connected, she was professional, dependable, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly comfortable with Jennifer. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palm Harbor is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 November 2026, there are 6,329 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palm Harbor. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palm Harbor. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
