“Nikki is fantastic! We’re so grateful for her flexibility and the love she shows our pups. She’s always prompt, responsive, and sends wonderful pictures.

“Emma was amazing! She provided my kitties with such great care, and gave me very detailed feedback about how they were doing while I was gone. Emma was also super responsive to any messages I sent. I felt so comfortable knowing she was caring for my kitties while I was gone. I also appreciate her mindfulness and help with helping clean the litter, emptying out the vacuum, and keeping the kitchen very tidy. I would 100% recommend her for caring for your pets! Thank you, Emma!”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for over a decade now, and have enjoyed every minute of it. Along with my education in animal sciences at Eckerd College, I believe I have all the tools you need to feel assured that your pet will be pampered in all the best ways. I currently work part time at a doggy daycare facility in St. Petersburg and have extra time on my hands. I wanted to earn extra income while continuing to do what I love. I pamper each pet to the maximum extent within me. Even if your pet is not receptive to new people all the time I believe I offer the patience and kindness as well as training in animal body language to understand them and speak their language. Given some time, any animal can be loved and given all the affection they could ever ask for even if they don’t always trust you at first glance.
About: I have had a variety of animals in my life and currently have 2 cats and a puppy! Animals are so special and I want to fill my free time taking care of them. I have helped out neighborhood friends before by both cat and dog sitting:) I do work full time so I am mainly available on the weekends but can be flexible! On weekends I have availability all day long. My cats and pup at home have everything and more. I keep my environment both cat and dog friendly! I always make sure that the pets are happiest they could be.
“She was great with my dogs! She was always on time, took them for walks, and sent lots of updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend!!”
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”
About: I grew up with dogs 🥰. So it’s kinda a big thing in my life 💖 there very special to me . & my little one I’m really a homebody , I’m home most of the time & day so I’ll always be free and have time to Care for your fur baby 😘 Safety is very important, let me know the needs you would want for your fur baby so I can meet every need to make my costumers happy 😀
“Tyler was great checking in on my puppy! I am confident that my dog is in good hands and being cared for with updates, quick communication, and cute photos!! Definitely recommend!”
“I can’t be more grateful to Nattalie for her care. She was absolutely amazing in every single way and gave me ease will traveling. My dog was happy and loved her. I will definitely keep using her services A+”
“Cheryl was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our dogs! We booked her for drop in visits while we were out of town for a long weekend and she was on top of everything. She left detailed reports after every visit and sent pictures! My dogs were probably more spoiled with her than they are with me!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home when I’m not traveling and I have a little one of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around their feeding times, walks, play sessions and potty breaks. For pets staying in a client’s home, I treat their space with the utmost respect, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so they can feel at ease while they’re away. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and will immediately communicate any concerns.
“Bekah was amazing watching my two cats while I was away for a week. She spent so much time with them and sent lots of great updates and made me feel so comfortable knowing they were being taken great care of while I was away. Thank you!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm River-Clair Mel
Kate has been fabulous taking care of Dexter and I can tell he loves her too. Communication is wonderful, she follows instructions given about his medications and leaves everything how she found it! She’s reliable and responsive. Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter.
Rachel was so professional and attentive! My cat and dog were comfortable with her instantly after their first visit; she has been watching Lulu and Carson for almost 6 years. She followed all of the directions we left and is always very accommodating when I ask her to change the booking times. Rachel is friendly, respectful and trustworthy. Would recommend her services to all cat/dog parents !!
Kyle was absolutely wonderful with my German shepherd Quinn! From the very first meeting, Quinn instantly got along with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Truly exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for someone more caring and trustworthy to look after her. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
Dana provided absolute top tier service and made the entire process completely seamless! From start to finish, Dana was attentive, highly professional, and exceptionally helpful. Communication was clear and prompt, and every detail was handled with care and genuine dedication. It is rare to find someone who consistently goes above and beyond to deliver such a smooth, stress-free experience. If you are looking for someone reliable, skilled, and wonderful to work with, I cannot recommend Dana highly enough!
We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!! Maya took great care of our pups + did me a huge favor and took out dinner from our freezer when I had forgot! 😂 We absolutely LOVE how many extra pictures she sends, and how she plays fetch with both our pups every time she comes over!! We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!
Viktoria is absolutely just what we needed! She agreed to meet myself and my puppy before agreeing to work together, which made me feel comfortable. The past two weeks have been great! For one, my puppy loves her! She keeps an open line of communication and sends pictures/videos while with him. 10/10 recommendation!
Natalia was amazing. She took the time to really get to know my dogs during the meet and greet. She was very flexible with a couple of the last minute schedule changes. She was very good with my puppies and took plenty of pictures to ensure I was kept up to date. I will definitely be coming back to her if I need my dogs watched again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palm River-Clair Mel is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $24 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 7,785 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palm River-Clair Mel. 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 River-Clair Mel. 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.
