“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!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“Wow, my fur babies love their new friend, and so do I. Alexandra did a great job with our 2 pets. She followed instructions without a problem, and kept us informed with pictures. I would not only recommend her, but I will have her back as needed.”
“THE best sitter ever! Seriously. Kind, attentive and great communicater. She sat for our 16.5 yr old doxie and we came home to a happy pup. At 16.5 he does have a couple special needs for caring and walking. She will for ever be our sitter. Without a doubt. She even left US a thank you note. She, herself, is absolutely a lovely person.”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover! Kory was awesome in so many ways. She was completely reliable and went over and above to care for our sweet Mr. Oliver and our house! We will definitely be calling on Kory again!”
“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.”
“Jaxon was very professional and even came by for a second visit prior to our trip for a refresher since we booked a couple months in advance. She gave great updates and left our house the way she found it. We felt at ease our entire trip. Will definitely use her again. Thanks Jaxon!”
“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.”
“Mariangela was a pleasure to deal with. I had complete confidence leaving my dogs in her care and I know she followed my instructions closely. I would use her again without any hesitation.”
“Zed enjoyed his staycation immensely. He was spoiled rotten and got to do all the fun things. Now I wonder if he's secretly hoping I'll leave again, which is better than him getting depressed when I'm gone. Communication was good and the house is just as I left it.”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always been a big dog lover. In 2022, my family got our dog Roxi, who is like my best friend. With Roxi, I’ve been fully involved in everything, walking her, feeding her, training her, and making sure she stays active and happy. I’ve also grown up helping to look after family dogs when relatives go away, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I’m originally from Ireland and recently moved to Florida after completing my MBA at Marshall University in West Virginia. I now coach youth soccer, so I’m very active, responsible, and used to being around people (and animals) all the time. Moving to the U.S. has been a big change for me, and being away from my family and my own dog has definitely made me miss them a lot, and it’s made me appreciate even more how much I love being around dogs every day. I’d say I’m quite laid-back, reliable, and easy to get along with. I like being outdoors, staying active, and I’m always up for a walk or keeping a dog company rather than just sitting around. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and routines, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I know how much dogs mean to their owners because mine means everything to me, so I always treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to send updates and photos as well, so owners feel completely comfortable while they’re away. Right now, I coach soccer in the evenings during the week and sometimes on weekends, usually for a couple of hours. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible. I’m generally available in the mornings, afternoons, and often evenings for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. My coaching hours are not long, so I’m able to work around pet care easily and adjust my schedule when needed. I take care of pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I make sure they’re well looked after with things like feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and giving medication if needed. I also keep things clean and stick to their usual routine as much as possible. I always spend time with the pets too, whether that’s playing with them or just keeping them company so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for the whole time.
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 evenings for walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out! We have no other pets, so yours will receive a world of attention. Your needs and instruction will becomes our mandate and with a fenced yard, you will have a carefree relaxing time away. Can send pics of your pet on demand
About: Hello, I'm Corey. I'm ready to work for you and your dogs/cats. Very knowledgeable on all animals! I have had animals for my whole life, ranging from dogs and cats to horses and others. I have been dog training for a few years and am currently in the process of training my dog to be my service dog. If training is something you're interested in, we can discuss that option also. I also worked for a kennel for a bit as well. I'm a great multitasker. I love all animals. I would love to talk more about your needs that you need met. Feel free to contact me. hope to hear from you soon! Holidays, weekends, etc all okay if you want to get away for a bit!
“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!”
“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.”
“Amazing! Sophia was absolutely fabulous. She kept us updated with pictures and gave us great feedback on how Ricky did while we were gone. Truly the best care for our dog ever! So grateful. Thank you Sophia!!!!!!”

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.
