“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and treated our Willow like family. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Joanne is wonderful! We’ve used her multiple times and she has been so great to our pup every time. She’s always on time, quick to respond and sends pictures :) highly recommend!!”
“If I could give Alyssa 100 stars, I absolutely would! I can’t even begin to explain how amazing she was as a pet sitter for my 3-month-old puppy. I was honestly so nervous about leaving my puppy because she’s still so little, but Alyssa made the entire experience so stress-free and reassuring. She was incredibly attentive, sent me updates throughout the day, and made sure my puppy felt loved and cared for. I even have a little pet camera facing my puppy’s crate, and seeing Alyssa playing with, cuddling, and spending time with her all day made me feel so much better. You can genuinely tell that she loves what she does and truly enjoys caring for animals. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my puppy. I’m so grateful for how wonderful she was, and I would 100% trust her with my puppy again. Thank you so much, Alyssa! You were absolutely amazing! 🥹🤍”
“Heather took great care of Oakley and our house was left clean and well cared for. We got lots of Oakley pics and updates while we were away. Heather was always quick to respond. Would absolutely book again! Thanks so much!”
About: Caring for your furry children like family while you’re away! Hi! I’m Carter. I was blessed with my dog Ruger as I graduated high school 6 years ago. Since then, Ruger and I both graduated from Florida State University, where he was our fraternity house dog. After recently relocating to Jacksonville Beach, I am now available for all your pet sitting needs. I work remotely during the week and am available for pop-ins, overnight stays, or extended vacations. Located right near the beach, I can easily make it over to Jacksonville metro on short time frames. I treat everyone’s pets like my own. As a dog owner myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your furry ones behind, and aim to ease that by devoting my time to give you peace of mind.
“Magdalena was a blessing at the last minute for house sitting with our 2 year old GSD. He absolutely loved her and was sure to keep us posted during the weekend of what he was doing. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs. I grew up with my family dog, Beethoven, and enjoyed everything from daily walks and trips to the beach to teaching him basic commands like sit and fetch. I love spending quality time with dogs, whether that’s going on long walks, playing outside, or relaxing on the couch. Every dog has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one while making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I also have experience with cats! Ive lived with 3 cats for about 10 years. One who which was a senior and required oral medications that I assisted with. I’m currently a new graduate nursing student studying for my NCLEX while working part-time at a hospital. My schedule is flexible, especially on my days off, and I update my availability regularly. I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting whenever my schedule allows! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I have experience giving medications to both dogs and cats under their owner’s instructions and will always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“We were so grateful to have been able to meet and book Trisha at the last minute! She was so accommodating to stay with our new rescue dog who has some separation anxiety, and as well as our cat. She was prompt, easy to work with and great at communicating & sending photos. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Terri was an absolute sweetheart with my dog Kip, I don’t think it’s possible to have found a better sitter than her considering how difficult the job was. Seriously all the other sitters that I talked to on this app were not capable of caring for her or outright did not want to but Terri was all about it and got the job done with no issues at all, I would highly recommend for any of your animal needs”
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: Growing up with dogs and currently caring for my precious babies, Susie and Lola, I've always had a deep passion for animals. This lifelong experience gives me a unique understanding of their needs and behaviors. Over the years, I've had the privilege of dog-sitting for numerous families in my neighborhood and community. Many of my customers have returned for years, satisfied with the care their pets receive. I also enjoy and understand the care of cats and can help with other animals as well. Additionally, I have volunteered with animal shelters in the past, further enhancing my skills and understanding of the needs of animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and exceptional care that I demand for Susie and Lola. I’m so excited for the opportunity to meet your lovely pets! I recently graduated from the University of South Florida and am beginning my job search! Most of my responsibilities are online and my I can be extremely flexible through the month of August. The safety and well-being of your pets are my top priorities. I create a secure and nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. Trust is at the core of my service; I build strong relationships with both pets and their owners through consistent, reliable care. I ensure each pet receives personalized attention, tailored to their unique needs and routines. With a focus on maintaining a safe and stimulating environment, your pets will enjoy their time with me while you have peace of mind knowing they are in excellent hands.
“Yessica and Ray were great with our 3 dogs! Very responsive, gave one of our dogs the meds he needed, gave all 3 the much needed play time too!”
“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!”

Sophia was great! We were in a pinch while already traveling internationally. We had already booked someone on rover to check in on our dog, but he needed more care. Sophia was able to house sit for the remainder of the time of our vacation with no issues!! So grateful!

FAQs for House Sitting - Palm Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palm Valley on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,469 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palm Valley. 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 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 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 Valley. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
