“Destiny was amazing with our dogs! We have 3 dogs which can be a handful at times but she took great care of them. Put my mind at ease day 1 of our trip. Highly recommend and will be booking again in future!”
“We had a fantastic experience with our Iyris! She took such great care of our two dogs and kept us updated the whole time with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. It’s obvious she truly cares about animals and go the extra mile to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. We would absolutely trust Iyris again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Alex took great care of our 3 dogs while we were away. I was able to enjoy vacation without having to worry about our home or the dogs. We will happily entrust her with our home and pups next time we go away.”
“Mindy is a true blessing ! Mindy was prompt in our initial discussions and trip planning, then stayed with my two old dogs for 5 days and nights. She maintained her cool when the boys wouldn't eat on the 2nd day, staying in contact and patiently worked through some solutions. By the next morning everyone was back on track and brand new. Mindy sent pictures and updates regularly and made me absolutely confident that my pups were being well cared for. Mindy is the absolute best !!!!! Thank you Mindy !”
“Ashley is an absolute joy! Easy to work with, detailed in prep and action and so conscientious. She treated our cats like they were her own…they adore her. It was as if we were never gone-no interruption in their normal schedules. We are booked again for later this year. Thanks, Ashley!!!”
“Lexie was great with our boy! She stayed at our house (and was immaculately clean) - but more importantly took great care of our dog. She sent regular pics and updates and gave us peace of mind. He is an aging dog with specific needs and she took amazing care of him.”
“Sadie did a wonderful job house sitting! She spent lots of time at the house giving daily updates and photos of our pets. It was easy to relax for a week away knowing the house was well taken care of. The yard and house were clean and the pets were both very happy when we got home. I would book with Sade again and highly recommend to friends and family.”
“Thank you so much for house sitting our 2 dogs! The house was just as we left it, and Kory was wonderful. She kept us updated regularly with photos on our babies while we were out of town for 4 nights. I look forward to calling her in the future next time we need help!”
About: Hi there! My name is Kira and I'm 24 years old. I am a hug animal lover and have been taking care of pups and cats since I was very young. Growing up my step father was a vet tech, because of this he brought us along to pet sit for dogs and cat while people were away. I also have a cat name Walter and a dog named Disney who I love and care for. I also work front desk at Dogtopia of Viera were I have learned more about dog care as well. I understand how stressful it can be with leaving a pet at home by themselves and I want to help make that process easier for both you and your pet. I can't wait to get to know you and your furry friends! I am currently working only Mondays and Tuesdays in Rockledge from 1 PM - 7:15 PM. I will occasionally go up to Orlando for quick trips as well. Either than that I am free. I have experience with all different environment for you pet. I follow any instructions for your pet weather it's feedings, walks, medications, ect. Whatever you need.
“Amazing dog sitter for my senior dogs! She was patient, caring, and truly understood their needs. Both of my dogs absolutely love her. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands. I would happily use her again for in-home dog sitting.”
“Sophia was so great with our Beau. She followed our instructions to a T, sent us updates on him a few times a day, and even let him convince her to take him on more walks than he usually gets 😂 it was so great to be on vacation and not have to worry that Beau was being taken care of with the same amount of love that we would. Beau loves her and so do we! I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”
About: I’ve had a dog by my side since the day I was born. In fact, the only time in my entire life I haven't had a pup around was a single year during college, and that was one year too many. Dogs are a constant in my life, not just a hobby. I have a strong passion for working with disabled and special needs animals. Whether it's managing mobility issues, administering medication, or providing the extra patience required for physical or behavioral challenges, I’m fully committed to that level of care. I’m also very experienced with resource guarding and high energy breeds. I don’t just watch dogs; I work to understand their specific personality and needs so they feel safe and supported. Working from home gives me the flexibility to be truly present and attentive during the week. I am available Monday through Saturday for drop ins, dog walks, vet visits, conditioning sessions, dog transport, or love bombs. I am generally free to help out starting at 2:00 PM on weekdays and have much more open availability on Saturdays. I do not offer services on Sunday. I focus on high quality mobile care for your pups during the week. My priority is being entirely respectful of both your dog’s comfort and your home environment. I understand that every dog has a specific routine and safe space, and I make it a point to maintain that structure to keep stress levels low. You can count on me to be professional and meticulous with your property. I treat every home with the same level of care and respect I’d want for my own. Whether we are out for a walk or hanging out inside, I focus on clear communication and safety so you have total peace of mind.
About: I have a big dog of my own and know what it's like to be worried about the kind of people takihng care of your dog while you are away. I hope give each familypeace 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.
“Matthew was great to our two pups. He was diligent and professional giving me updates of the dogs. He kept our house clean and organized. He took excellent care of my schnauzer that was limping. I will definitely book him again in the future!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Palm Shores is $50

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 $48.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 701 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.

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.
