“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
About: With 7 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. From playful puppies with endless energy to sweet senior dogs who just want a comfy spot to nap, I understand that every pet deserves care tailored to them. I’m experienced in keeping pets calm and happy even in stressful situations and can provide expert care during emergencies. I’m also trained to safely bathe pets, administer medications, and manage dosages for those who need a little extra attention to stay healthy and comfortable. Whether it’s giving your cat some quiet company, playing fetch with your dog, cleaning up after a muddy walk, or making sure medications are given on time, I’m here to keep tails wagging and whiskers purring while you’re away. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated every step of the way with photos and notes so you can feel at ease while they’re in my care. Pet care has always been a part of my daily life. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve spent several years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Being around animals every day has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little details that help keep pets happy and healthy. On my days off, I love spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, providing drop-in visits, or giving pets the love and attention they deserve while their families are away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I’m also currently planning my destination wedding in 2027, so pet sitting allows me to spend time doing something I genuinely love while helping couples, families, and busy professionals have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, experienced hands. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or providing walks and drop-in visits, my priority is to keep them comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Working in a veterinary clinic has taught me the importance of observing changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, so I always keep a close eye on every pet while they’re in my care. I also believe communication is key, so you’ll receive regular photo updates and messages throughout each visit or stay, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own, leaving it clean and secure after each visit. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free from the moment you book until you return home.
“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!”
“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!”
“She did such a good job on such short notice. She actually walked the dogs which was a bonus since I never mentioned it. She went way and beyond by helping our neighbor round up our chickens that had gotten out during a storm the day before. She always kept me updated throughout the whole time which made me feel so comfortable with her tending to our dogs. I would definitely have her again.”
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!!
“The dogs seemed to take to Shelby very quickly. We had her over for a meet-and-greet a couple of weeks before her first sitting job, and she asked great questions to understand what our dogs and house needed while we were away. Shelby took great care of our little "boys" and the house while we were away without any issues. We highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs but have been dog sitting for several years now. At home my family has two very high-energy dogs so I know what it takes to keep them occupied and exercised. We can have lots of play time if that’s what your dog enjoys or just hangout together around the house if that’s more their speed. You can guarantee on receiving updates and photos of your dog while away if all the fun things we are doing! We will do a long walk or run or playtime in the morning before it’s too hot out. Throughout the day we will have outside time and can do shorter walks or go on adventures together and in the evening another long walk or playtime! My schedule is super flexible. I follow your care instructions so the dog has the same rules and routines while you’re away. I want your dog to be comfortable and have fun while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.
“We really enjoyed having her stay with our dogs! She was so nice and caring, and I really appreciated that she checked on them regularly throughout the day. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were getting plenty of attention while we were away. I also really liked that she’s studying veterinary medicine—it made me feel even more comfortable knowing our dogs were in such caring and knowledgeable hands. We’d definitely have her watch them again!”
“Emily was an amazing overnight pet sitter for our 2 dogs and cat. You could tell they were well loved and cared for when we got home from vacation. She was very communicative with tons of pictures. We have already rebooked and plan many more in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Shores
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palm Shores on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
