“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.”
“Sophia was wonderful at accommodating a last minute dog sitting request for Bailey due to work travel. Bailey loved every minute of their time together. From the moment they met during our meet and greet, it was clear she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and at ease. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and check-ins, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to one very happy pup.I highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust!”
“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!!!”
“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: 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.
About: I specialize in high energy and high anxiety dogs. I have taken care of dogs of many ages from puppies to seniors. I currently don’t have pets of my own but I grew up and have owned dogs and cats throughout my life. My work schedule is flexiable and I make my own hours. I would work with the client and see what are their needs and I would tailor my schedule based around that. I will build trust with the pet first. Follow instructions of the client and work with the pet and make sure it’s needs are taken care off.
“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”
“Taylor did an amazing job watching my dog Presley. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I really appreciated the consistent updates. It was clear Presley was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. The house looked spotless when I arrived too. Taylor is reliable, thoughtful, and I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Kadence was awesome with my little crew. She was super attentive to their needs and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. I was able to enjoy my time away and not worry about them at all.”
“Ally was a wonderful Pet sitter! I didn't worry even once. When we got home the house was clean and tidy with sheets in the wash. Our cats were brushed and happy! May our German Short Haired pointer was happy and stress free, Thank you Ally!!”
“Stephanie is outstanding!!!! She took care of all our animals, she was super sweet with them and they all clearly *loved* her! She went above and beyond in caring for them and helped me stay consistent with any of their special needs and catered to their quirks. She sent me tons of cute pictures and videos of them all at least twice a day 🥰 and was consistently communicative, which helped me just enjoy my trip and be able to rest assured about whether the animals were happy, safe, and comfy - something I'm always worried about that I actually didn't feel worried about this time. The house was just as we'd left it, and I think everyone actually misses her. 💕 But, she's amazing - I definitely recommend booking with her (unless it's when I'm out of town lol!).”
“Gabby exceeded our expectations! Not only in her bonding with our cat and dog, but also in managing our large home and yard. Her frequent pics of our pets assured us they were well looked after and enjoying Gabby’s company. We can strongly recommend her!”
About: I was born and raised alongside furry friends so I am an animal lover by nature. I have 4 cats and a dog of my own which I love as my family. In my free time, I enjoy giving back to animals any way I can. I work at my main job during the evening between 4 PM and 9 PM which allows me to spend the majority of the day with your animals. I will treat your pets as I would treat my own, like family. I love spending time with animals and enjoy caretaking as a whole. I always respect my client’s homes and their pets needs.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up with both horses and dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two Pit Lab mixes of my own who are truly my children! I also regularly help care for my sister’s dog when needed. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll treat every animal I care for with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention. Living at Jax Beach, I’m always out walking my own dogs and would love to bring your pup along for some fresh air and exercise! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: Fully licensed veterinarian offering calm, attentive, premium care for anxious, senior, medically sensitive, or high-needs pets. Connected with trusted PVB, PV, and Jax Beach general and emergency practices for added peace of mind and care coordination. Available until emergency vet career begins mid October. I recently graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in July, and I will begin my emergency vet position in October. I’m looking to fill the time offering this animal and house sitting service in the unique position as a fully licensed vet with plenty of free time until my full-time career begins. As a fully licensed vet with plenty of down time, I can offer trusted and medically aware care while your pet stays in the comfort of their own home. While I cannot offer in-home diagnostics and treatment, I can help with routine supportive care, such as prescribed subcutaneous fluids, difficult medications, supported walks, and managing incontinence.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life, both as a pet owner and by helping friends and family with their pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I also have experience caring for senior and geriatric dogs, so I understand the patience, attention, and extra care they often need. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or older and needs a gentler approach, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets, whether that means walks, playtime, or extra attention and care. I am available Monday through Sunday and can work with a variety of schedules to help meet your pet care needs. I will give your dog or cat my full attention during every visit, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also pay close attention to each dog’s safety, comfort, and individual needs during every walk.

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 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 1,487 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.

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.
