“I can't recommend Kathryn enough! Not only did she take amazing care of our (very) difficult cat, she stepped in with very little notice when our care fell through during our trip. She is a caring and reliable sitter and we would book again with her in a heartbeat. She even made progress with our cat who is wary of strangers and was already stressed.”

About: Walks, Wags, Playtime & Lots of LOVE! Hi, fellow animal lovers! 🐾 Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’m a proud dog mom to my handsome rescue American Pit Bull Terrier, Spudz McKenzie! ❤️🐶 My love for animals is so strong that I recently made a BIG life change — I left my 40+ hour, 8-to-5 job to follow my heart and spend more time doing what I truly love: caring for animals! 🐕💕 Now, I’m excited to help give your fur-babies the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re busy working or away from home. 🐾 LATE MEETING? TRAFFIC JAM? LONG DAY AT WORK? VACATION COMING?🐾 We’ve all been there! You’re stuck at work or in traffic, watching the clock and worrying about your four-legged family member waiting at home. Does your pup need a potty break, a walk, some playtime, a meal, or simply a little extra love and company? THAT’S WHERE I COME IN! 🐶✨ Whether your fur-baby needs a midday walk, a backyard play session, feeding, potty breaks, or some extra snuggles and attention, I’d LOVE to help! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and never short on affection while you’re away. ❤️ 🐕 MORE THAN A PET — THEY’RE FAMILY! When your pup is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own! Expect plenty of interaction, walks, playtime, attention, and lots of love. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, special, and loved. And the fun doesn’t have to stop there! Spudz is a super-friendly, easygoing boy who loves making new doggy friends. If it’s a good fit for both pups, he’d be happy to join us for a walk, playdate, or even a sleepover! 🐾🐾 ❤️ MY PROMISE TO YOU Your pet isn’t just another appointment on my schedule. They’re a special member of your family, and I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I give my own Spudz. Let’s turn those lonely hours into happy tails, wagging butts, and plenty of puppy smiles! 🐶🎉 📩 MESSAGE ME TODAY! Let’s chat about your fur-baby’s needs and how I can help make their day a little brighter — and give you one less thing to worry about! Currently I am unemployed so my current schedule is very open and available to spend time with them and love on them while with them. I like to bring my dog with me anywhere dogs are allowed to go. Alot of places in Cocoa Beach know and love my boy and get excited when they see him walk through the door

“Ebony has been a life saver for my family and I! My dogs are getting old and cannot be left home alone for extended period of time without some love and a potty break. She comes to my house every day that I work and does just that. My dogs get excited and meet her at the door, knowing that they are going to get some attention and a well deserved walk around the block. She has even brought over another 4 legged friend for my pups to enjoy some time with! She is very trustworthy, respects your home and your animals, and I cannot recommend her enough.”

“Brian is the absolute best sitter on Rover! My doggies adore him and are always smiling and very well-fed each visit. He always updates me with messages and photos of my babies and is very responsive and attentive to their needs. Whenever I have to travel now, I have to first make sure that Brian is available to take care of my babies before making any reservations! He is a very flexible and responsible sitter and I’m always at ease whenever my doggies are eating and playing with Brian. Many thanks as always Brian and I’m sure my doggies are looking forward to seeing you again!”

“Josh was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Milo. While I was away, Milo was clearly well cared for: he was fed, had plenty of fresh water, and his litter box was clean. What meant the most to me was coming home to a calm, happy cat. Milo can sometimes get anxious when I’m gone, but this time he seemed completely at ease, which really speaks to the level of care and attention Josh provided. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!”

About: I have been a dog owner my whole life, and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, special needs (lots of medication) dogs, and working with multiple dogs at one time. My favorite part about working with dogs is being able to run and play with them. I am available early mornings and late nights. I also love trail walking/running, so I'll make sure your dog gets the exercise they need! I follow a rigorous routine of walking/running with my own dogs, and will take the same care with yours! Typically, I work from Tuesday through Saturday in an office. Generally, I can provide morning walks, and afternoon into evening care. Lunch time walks may be dependent of location! Caring for other dogs involves building trust through playtime, walks, and of course, treats! Making sure your dog is comfortable on walks and overnights is the top most priority.

The best sitter in Brevard!!! There is no one else I'd trust to take care of my babies while I'm 1400 miles away. Dorothy treats my dogs like they're her own & I'm so grateful! She swept my floors, took my trash out & brought her own treats for my pups while we were gone for a week. Asher & Nami absolutely LOVE her. 12/10 sitter. Thank you!!! ❤️💙❤️💙

Illian did a great job with our dog , Harry, during her overnight home sitting. She was very responsive, considerate and provided lots of updates which was appreciated. Our little guy needs a little patience with new people as he’s a rescue with some anxiety issues and she handled it like a pro. Highly recommended.

I was very nervous about leaving my blind 16 yo kitty with Chronic Kidney Disease. I canceled my last vacation 4 months ago because he was declining. Just prior to this very short trip, he had barely been eating. Isabella followed my special feeding instructions perfectly. I came home to a kitty who was very happy to see me and vice versa. Thank you Isabella!

We are 1st time users of the Rover app and I have to report, we will be using this service again. Meghan was the best caretaker for our baby. We made arrangements for Meghan to stop in every morning to feed and water our Cat Philly. She even let the baby out every morning on the enclosed lanai to get some sun, which is actually his routine ever morning. She was fantastic with him and he loved her. Thanks again for everything Meghan!

I was panicking thinking about who I could get to watch my dogs because my usual sitter wasn’t available. One of my dogs is very reactive so I was worried about interactions with her. Sarai was willing to meet us beforehand and for her check ins she did soooo well with them. I appreciate her so much and will definitely book her again in a heartbeat .

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Palm Shores

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
