“Savannah provided great communication prior to our scheduled visit and took good care of my senior dog Gracie. Definitely would book again and recommend to others.”
“Alyssa has exceeded any expectation I would have for a pet and house sitter. She is now my dog’s favorite person and I’m not sure if Pogo wants us to come home or if she would rather have Alyssa stay with her forever! Pogo is not the easiest dog, she is older and has her quirks and tore her ACL last year. None of these things were an issue with Alyssa. She was attentive and caring and made sure that Pogo could get her energy out while not over exerting herself. Having someone like Alyssa care for our home and our precious Pogo gives us so much peace of mind while we are traveling. We will absolutely be using her in the future and I know Pogo can’t wait to see her again.”
“Trisha was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel so much better about traveling, knowing our fur babies were being snuggled, loved on, and so well cared for while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. We can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Trisha, for taking such amazing care of our babies!”
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 10 years and absolutely love spending time with them! I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on my work schedule. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pup gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive to their surroundings, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure they are secure throughout every visit. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
About: All my life I have enjoyed the Prescence of cat or dog in my home. Since the loss of our boxer Lucy - we rescued a Siamese kitten that we found abandoned - her name is Helen. i currently feed and walk daily 2 dogs I work part time from home - with flexible hours - during weekdays or weekends . Can usually be available with short notice to assist with your pet needs. Always make sure to enter and leave a client's home carefully. I offer drop-in visits for cats and dogs and also walks for dogs. Ensure a pets water and food is full based on dietary constraints. Any special instructions are met, e.g. tv or music left on. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. Let me know your expectations during the visits.
“Daniek was great! She took the time out of her schedule to come over beforehand to meet us and the dogs and that made us feel so comfortable! She watched our three dogs (to include a 4 month puppy) for the weekend and did an amazing job. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures and you could tell the pups were having a good time. She left the house neat. Definitely recommend and hope to use her again in the future!”
About: My husband and I have had animals 34 years of our 35 years of marriage. My husband grew up with many animals and each one he meets always especially loves him. He is retired and we are empty nesters now without an animal, so we offered to watch several friends animals when they were on vacation. We enjoyed the experiences so much that a friend suggested we should be official dog and cat sitters, then referred us to this service. I work full time in Ponte Vedra and my husband is retired. He loves animals so he has all day to feed, walk, and play with your dog and cat. When I come home I enjoy playing with them too. When we have watched our friends’ animals, they wrote out instructions that we followed. As former educators, we are very adept at following detailed instructions. The friends left important routine or special needs information and the veterinarian’s contact.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for many of my friends pets, whether that be dropping by to let them out or staying over for a couple of days. I’ve always wanted a pet of my own, so I’ve always treated other pets animals I imagine I would my own. I may not have much experience but I always make sure your pets have taken care of and spend time with them. I’ve also done volunteer work with the Jax Humans society, I like to take a dog out for the day since I know being at the shelter can be difficult. I’m currently a student at UNF. I have lots of time during early mornings. I’m free on weekends as well. If booking is for evenings I would to know 3 days before. Making sure doors are closed especially bathrooms and front doors. Checking on them regularly. Being careful with what I eat and where I’m putting my food at. Watching out for cars or other animals when walking. I won’t be able to pet sit at my home since I live in a dorm.

“We would love to thank Alexis & Shane for a stress-free vacation! We were hesitant to leave our fur babies for such a long time with skepticism since we have never left them for any period of time. After meeting with Alexis & Shane prior to our departure--- we felt at ease!! The communication, pictures, & videos reassured us that they were in very confident care. After returning home, it reconfirmed that we made the right decision. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED--WE WILL USE THEIR SERVICE AGAIN! :)”
About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, we had a variety of dog and cat breeds, so I’m comfortable working with animals of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I also have law-enforcement K9 experience from my time with the Las Vegas Deputy Marshals, where I served as a K9 agitator/decoy and participated in controlled training exercises with working dogs and their handlers. That experience gave me additional insight into canine behavior, body language, handling, and the importance of remaining calm and attentive around dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different types of pets and understand that every animal has its own routine and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and needs plenty of activity, prefers a slower pace, or simply wants companionship while you’re away, I’ll follow your instructions and make their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m dependable, active, safety-conscious, and attentive. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing they’re being well cared for. Our family will care for your pets as if they were our own. They will receive plenty of love, affection, and exercise in our large, fully fenced backyard Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I keep my Rover availability updated so I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week based on my schedule. I make every effort to maintain your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, bathroom, and medication schedule so their routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety is always my first priority. My background includes law enforcement and working with a K9 unit, which gave me experience reading canine behavior, body language, and recognizing situations before they become problems. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep dogs properly leashed and secured, and never take unnecessary risks with unfamiliar animals or environments. In your home, I respect your property and your pet’s established routine. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Beth was communicative and active with our pup Juju while we were gone. Typically I worry nonstop no matter who is with him but found myself simply enjoying our trip! Thanks to Beth for making this a zero stress experience.”
“Hannah did a fantastic job taking care my three kitties! She kept me informed about the cats every day and sent pictures of my babies each day as well. All three cats were calm and happy on my return and I won't hesitate to book Hannah again!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Palm Valley is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night.

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 Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley 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 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.
