“Claire was very communicative and went the extra miles to make our pups feel loved during her check ins. She was a great dog sitter and we’d recommend her for your furry friends!”
“Kristen went above and beyond for my Bruno! And she did it on short notice and a holiday none the less. Couldn't be more thankful for her dropping in. I will ask for her again!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and feel very lucky to get Debbie as our care giver. She did a great job with our cats and made us feel so comfortable being away. She spent time with them, gave them lots of love and kept us updated with notes and pictures. We will definitely work with Debbie again!”
“This was my first time booking with Christine and she did such an amazing job with my two cats! I'm particular about their food setup and care and she was just as meticulous as I am following instructions I left, including a unique situation requiring keeping my cats fully separated. She understands cat behavior well and went out of her way to make sure both cats were comfortable with her - even my shy skittish boy warmed up to her by day 2. My cats actually looked a bit disappointed that it was me when I came home! I wouldn't hesitate to book with Christine again. Thank you!!”

About: As a recently retired Pinellas County teacher, I now have the flexibility to give your pets the time, attention and dependable care they deserve. I have owned dogs throughout my life and currently share my home with my two cats, Max and Mya. I especially enjoy helping pets stay happy and comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. As a teacher, I built my career on being dependable, patient, organized, and trustworthy. Those same qualities make me a caring and attentive pet sitter. I understand that every pet has its own routine, and I will follow your instructions carefully to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages at every visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. I know how much our pets mean to us because mine are family too. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a recently retired teacher, I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy keeping pets on their regular routines whenever possible and will work with you to provide dependable care that fits your schedule. Advance notice is always appreciated, but I will do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay on their normal routine. When caring for your pet, I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines. I will treat your home with respect and your pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. Safety is my top priority. I’ll always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Fabulous. Simply fabulous. Everyone was happy, healthy, and well cared for. Even the blind cats took to Sam. She is very good to everyone in the pack we have here, and a pleasure to talk to. Will definitely use her again if possible.”
“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.”
About: I have lived in a pet loving home nearly my entire life, from cats and dogs to fish and snakes. This passion has led me to volunteer at Pet Pal Animal Shelter, a no-kill shelter, and work at Dogism Dog Daycare & Training as my first job! These combined have blessed me with a wealth of experience taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I work full-time, until 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Weekends are almost always available for me. Keeping my schedule separated between my full time work and pet caring ensures that your pet will have my full attention! Being entrusted to care for a pet at a client's home is never something I take lightly. I have experience giving medication, managing high-energy dogs, and cleaning up after pet messes, all with respect for the spaces they and their owners occupy.
About: Hi, I’m Stephannie — a dependable and caring pet lover based in Palm Harbor, FL! I specialize in dog walks and cat playtime visits, and I truly enjoy giving pets the exercise, attention, and comfort they need when their favorite humans are away. Whether your dog loves long strolls or quick potty breaks, I make sure every walk is safe, fun, and suited to their pace. For cats, I’m all about gentle interaction, playtime, and keeping their routines consistent (plus a few extra cuddles if they’re in the mood!). I’m known for being reliable, calm, and attentive — and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry family member and give them the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I can do short walks before 10:30 am or walks after 8:30 pm on the days I work or on my off days I’m free most of the day I follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Dogs get safe, fun walks and plenty of attention, while cats enjoy playtime, fresh food and water, and a clean litter box. I make sure every pet feels loved, secure, and happy until you’re back! 🐾
About: I have a greyhound/pitbull/husky named Syd. He is my best friend! Ever since I was little I love taking care of my dogs and other dogs. I am currently available just through the week 9am-2pm and after 6pm. I work at a after school care during the time I am not available. I live in an apartment complex! I usually walk my dog around and he neighborhood to get his energy. He loves other dogs and he is very friendly!
About: On top of being a vet assistant for almost 10 years now, I have my own 5 pets that I take care of, each with their particular set of needs. I know all about having a specific routine so I’ll make sure things are done exactly as requested! I have two crazy pit mixes at home, but I also had my family Yorkie that I would take care of up until she passed back in 2025. I also have 3 cats, one of them being special needs (CH, IYKYK). I currently work 10 hour shifts, Monday-Thursday as a vet assistant. I normally go home during lunch anyway to let my own dogs out, so I could always try to accommodate extra time to let your dogs out as well if needed. Since I’m very limited on time during those days, I’d have to be relatively close to my job (10-15 min) to be able to provide midday care for everyone. Weekends (including Friday) I have more flexibility though, as my boyfriend would be home to take care of my pets while I take care of yours! I know a pet’s home is the most comfortable environment for them, so I will do my best to keep the comfort level while you are away. I can walk wherever/however long they need, provide adequate play, and just spend as much time as possible so that they never feel alone. I can also do any additional tasks around the home, such as light cleaning and taking care of any plants you may have (watering, etc). I’ll always make sure to tidy up before your arrival, that way you have more time to decompress without worrying about cleaning up after me :)
About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and would be happy to help take care of yours! I am comfortable with small, medium, large, and extra large sized dogs of all ages and have experience walking and pet sitting all sizes. I am an active person and thoroughly enjoy walking/swimming with dogs as well! My family raises seeing eye dogs for the blind, and working with such wonderful animals is a passion of mine. I understand that leaving a family member at home while you’re away can be difficult for both you and your dog, so I hope to alleviate some of that stress for you. Please feel free to reach out to me with additional questions. I am excited to meet you and your fur babies! I work from home and have a fenced yard! I can take frequent potty breaks and/or walks, and have the flexibility to be attentive to your pets needs throughout the day. I have a friendly black lab who loves everyone to keep your fur baby company. I also have a pool if your pup likes to swim!
About: Hello everyone! My name is Kylie and I have grown up and taken care of dogs almost all my life. I have taken care of dogs since they were puppies till they were as old as 17. This included hand feeding and giving constant love to senior dogs who might need that extra amount of love and attention. My family and friends have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, play, and unconditionally love their pets while they were in my care. I am also great with communicating with families on how their pets are doing by sending pictures or simply sending out a message. I treat dogs as I would care for my own with the appreciation and care they deserve! I am recent college graduate and although I work full time, I am always off weekends! That’s leaves full availability for me to help in assisting to care for your pet ! It is essential to prioritize both the pet's and the home's safety and well-being.

About: I have an 12-year-old Dachshund who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy, and I’ve also helped care for my family’s pets over the years. I work from home, which allows me to give dogs the time, attention, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I enjoy walking dogs, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My dog is very friendly, and dogs in my home are welcome on couches and beds. I also have small stairs and ramps by the couches and beds to make it easier for pups, especially smaller or senior dogs. I work from home as a Virtual Assistant, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I rarely leave the house except for quick errands, and even then I’m usually gone for no more than a few hours. My mother also lives with me, so your pet would never be alone. Our home environment is calm, safe, and full of attention. I take my own dog out for walks three times a day, and caring for animals is already part of my everyday rhythm. If I am pet sitting in your home, I can easily bring my laptop with me and continue working while still giving your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I genuinely enjoy having pets around and love giving them affection throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets receive regular walks, meals on their normal schedule, fresh water, and plenty of attention.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Harbor
Christine was punctual, efficient, and spent extra quality time with Weechee. Weechee tragically lost his Kahu without warning in April. He usually will barely eat the first time someone cares for him. Christine not only played with Weechee, but had him join in on a daily yoga session which helped keep him calm and form a special bond with her. I highly recommend her as your pets temporary Kahu!
Margot was absolutely wonderful with our pet! She was reliable, caring, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing our furry family member was in great hands. She kept us updated and clearly treated our pet like her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust and would happily recommend Margot to anyone looking for a kind and dependable pet sitter. We will definitely be calling her again and again 😆
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 ❤️
Courtney was phenomenal! We had such detailed notes for Jax, and she flowed them great. She sent constant detailed updates, gave lots and lots of chin rubs and provided the care and relief we needed to be able to go away. It’s scary introducing an 18 year old cat to a new person per the first time and we felt safe and comfortable leaving him in her wonderful care. We will certainly use her services again if we ever get another weekend away.
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 $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $28 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 6,299 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 .
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.

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.
