“Perfect Fit, Ashley kept us well informed of our pet doggy and took great care of her the whole time she was at our house, we will definitely use her great services again!”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“Mindy is the BEST!!! She went above and beyond; she cared for and loved my dog like her own, was great with communication, and accommodating. For the first time ever I came home to a happy, calm dog (not a frantic one) and a spotless clean home. Mindy truly made my vacation an actual vacation.”
“Lexie was amazing! She sent photo updates and made sure we were constantly aware of how our pups were doing throughout the day. We are so looking forward to hiring her again! Our dogs love her!!!”
“Excellent care! The pets were happy and healthy and the house was in great shape when we got back from our 4-day trip. I would absolutely book again and recommend to a friend.”
“this young lady watched our two dachshunds overnight in our home. one of our dachshunds is handicapped with some paraplegic issues which affect her ability to control her bladder. We keep her in a doggie diaper when inside. she also needs to be lifted up and down so no jumping, stairs, etc. Lyris did an excellent job. she arrived on time, displayed a true caring attitude towards both our pets and us. We returned home to a clean house and two happy dogs. Will definitely call on her again...and again.”
“Friendly, warm, kind and professional pet sitter. Kept me updated while compassionately caring for my senior pup overnight while we were away. Made us feel comfortable and confident our old man was in good hands. Looking forward to having Kory back to sit Skinner when we need to be away for any reason.”
About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. It’s important to understand them and give them the same unconditional respect, compassion and love they give to us. I am a mother of two beautiful dogs one named Simba (with mom in France), and my princess named Angel. She was in the shelter her whole life. I was told it would be tough to accommodate her to a normal life, but I realized that all she needed was to feel loved, safe and mostly by my side forever! She understood from the moment I rescued her that she had a furrrever home :) Also, I’m a dual citizen, French and American, so if your dog comes home speaking French don’t be surprised 😁 Availability is based upon demand. I accommodate as much as possible to make sure your baby will be taken care of at the time needed. Learning more about the pet by asking their owners the routine, character, likes or dislikes, but mostly I observe the pet and follow directions given to me.
“Nicholas was a great sitter and did such a great job taking care of my two dogs! He was communicative, responsible and sent updates and pictures regularly. Nicholas is professional, kind and is very gentle with dogs exhibiting anxiety. I would use Nicholas over and over again!”
“I could not have asked for better last-minute care for my stressed out pups, than Sayla. She was punctual, professional, adored my dogs and asked all the right questions, was super honest about everything going on. She went above and beyond —several visits beforehand and extra care once settled in—and you can tell she sincerely loves dogs and their welfare and making them comfortable is her top priority. I would recommend Sayla in a heartbeat!”
“Ruth was amazing! My poor baby had a seizure right before I left and she did an amazing job at keeping me updated on things. She goes above and beyond with things like taking notes if your dog needs meds or has special needs! Definitely recommend her!”
“Shelby was so amazing!! She was so attentive, answered our texts right away, and did everything we we asked of her. She left the house very clean and tidy when she left. Gator absolutely loved her, we swear he was sad when we got home because it wasn’t Shelby. Thank you Shelby and we’ll be booking her again soon!”
About: I have a big dog of my own and know what it's like to be worried about the kind of people taking care of your dog while you are away. I hope to give each family peace of mind as they trust me with their furry friend! I am a medical student full time so I have plenty of time to walk, sit, and feed your pets with pretty short notice if need be! I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and routine. Before providing care, I review the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special requirements. I ensure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and enrichment. In a client's home, I respect their routines and keep pets in familiar surroundings to reduce stress. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and communicate updates regularly with the owner.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've been independently responsible for my own dogs for the past 11 years. I've cared for dogs ranging from small breeds to 75+ lb dogs of my own, with experience around dogs over 100 lbs as well. I've raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and understand how much their needs, personalities and routines can change along the way. My experience includes daily walks and exercise, feeding, bathing and grooming, oral and topical medications, vet appointments, and caring for an aging dog through serious illness. Most importantly, I understand that someone's dog isn't just a pet. They're family. I'll treat yours with the same patience, attention and care I treat my own family. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits and house sitting throughout the week. I’m available most mornings, afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends, and I’m happy to work with you to maintain the routine your pet is already comfortable with. I provide care primarily in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors, gates and leashes secure, and communicate regularly with updates and photos. I’m also happy to take the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routine and boundaries before providing care.
About: We tailor each visit to your dog’s specific needs, whether it’s sticking to a strict medication schedule, following a specific feeding routine, or just spending extra cuddle time with a shy pup My husband Ron works from home and so your pet is never left alone. I'm home mornings, evenings and weekends for walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out! We have no other pets, so yours will receive a world of attention. Your needs and instructions will become our mandate and with a fenced yard, you will have a carefree relaxing time away. Will send many pics of your pet!!
“Dominique was amazing, she took excellent care of our senior dog and our home as well. We will certainly request her services again and highly recommend her to others. Thank you so much!”
“Andy is beyond awesome!!! As soon as he met Mayer, our 8 year old English bulldog, we knew he was going to be fine. He jumped into his arms and that was that! Mayer had never been left with anyone since he was a baby. Where we go, he goes! This time was different. We drove from Georgia to attend our daughter's graduation. Andy became Mayer's new best friend. Mayer doesn't do hot weather. Andy came prepared for all of it. They watched movies, walked in his stroller, played, and ate together.Andy had pizza and Mayer had his burger and cookie. He was very happy and Andy treated him like a king! Andy sent pictures and updates. I think Mayer was sad that he couldn't bring his new friend home with him! Mayer gets what Mayer wants! Leaving with 2 bits of information: 1. If you are lucky enough to get Andy to sit for you, there will be no worries! 2. Andy does not charge enough for what he gives to our treasured babies! (He stayed from 12:00-10:20 with him.) Too bad there are only 5 stars! He needs 10! Maybe Andy will share some pictures.”
“Amy was great with our senior dog and took great care of the house while we were away for a long weekend. We came home to a happy pup and the house was spotless. Her communication throughout the trip was great - we will absolutely be using Amy again.”

Desiree was a very pleasant surprise, she understood how hard it was to leave Sydney and she bent over backwards to make me feel that everything would be OK. Desiree kept me up on the activities of the day and sent pictures. I’m sure Sydney was very happy that Desiree was taking care of her while I was gone. Desiree is very kind and caring and I would definitely use her to watch Sydney again! No doubt about that! Thank you so much Desiree for making Sydney feel happy and loved.
Genesis stayed in communication and sent pictures. Abby had a medical situation happen while I was away, which Genesis had dealt with before this, so she knew exactly what to do and kept me informed of the situation. When I returned to my house it was as I left it (and that was a first) so I appreciated that. I will definitely use her again.
I can’t say enough great things about Mason! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her care. She is incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly loves what she does. She sent regular updates, photos, and little notes about how things were going, which meant so much while I was away. Penni looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for the entire time. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can fully trust with my pet. I would absolutely recommend Mason to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Laura was absolutely amazing with my bougie boys. They responded to her well, would rub up against her (which they don't do for my husband). It was my first time using a pet sitter and I will definately reach out to her again. The house was in perfect shape upon our return, she even checked in to ensure our flight was on time in case she needed to go back over for another feeding.
Morgan was great with our Dogs and Cats. She kept me updated. My dog is afraid of storms and she laid with her through the storm. I came home and my pets were calm and happy when I returned. They loved her from the moment she walked in at the meet and greet. Morgan become a friend more than a sitter. Morgan is the best!
We booked Brittany last minute after multiple no shows for meet and greets or incorrect availability listed from other sitters. Sometimes things work out for the best as she was amazing with our dogs in an extended overnight stay in our home. She took great care of the dogs, left the house extremely clean and constantly communicated and sent pictures. We will definitely be reaching out to her again when we need help with our babies.

FAQs for House Sitting - Palm Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palm Shores on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 687 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palm Shores. 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
