“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!”
“Noah stayed in our home for a week to care for our shih-tzu and did an absolutely amazing job. From the start, he was a clear and thoughtful communicator, which immediately put us at ease while we were away. When we returned, our home was spotless and our dog was clearly very well cared for, happy and relaxed with no adjustment issues at all. It was obvious he felt comfortable and loved during his time with Noah. Noah truly went above and beyond, and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive in-home pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Amazing first experience with the app Elijah took such great care of my baby and kept me updated with pictures and messages the entire time, — I would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She was available on short notice on a holiday weekend to watch my cat and my current foster dog (who only has three legs!) Kaitlyn went out of her way to go over the tripod's care and gave me updates on her improving mobility. She took great care of our pets and our home and I would use her again!”
“Mackenna was an absolute dream with my two elderly dogs. Previous to our trip, one of our pups had major surgery on her back paw and had to wear a cast and take many different medications. Mackenna handled all of that tremendously! We know it was a lot of work and we were so grateful to her! We will definitely request her again! Thanks Mackenna for everything!”
“Nataley was spectacular! Sasha absolutely loved her. She was even able to interact with our very skittish kittens. We will definitely be connecting with her again when we need someone to watch our fur children!”
“Sydney was great with our two pups while we were out of town. Our Malinois got sick just before we left and I let her know we gave him rice and he should be ok. She responded that even if he was still sick, she would take care of it. She let them out frequently and took great care of them! Will be utilizing Sydney again. Thank you! 😊”
About: Pets are amazing and healing I love them all , Have had many animals in my life the only one i dont care for is spiders Working but close to work and free all weekends and holidays plenty of time for care in my or your home live in Nocatee looking forward to helping you My pets have free access they are fed morning and night they sleep in my bed but also have thier own bed very happy ! my pets love company and are kind to all
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, snuggled, and spoken to like a tiny furry human. I have experience with senior pets (slow walks and meds? No problem), energetic puppies (zoomies encouraged), and everything in between. Whether your dog needs extra patience, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your goldfish just needs someone to not forget about them—I’ve got it covered. Bonus: I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always down for sending cute photo updates. Because let’s be honest, you do want to see 17 pictures of your dog sleeping. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Like your pup, I also need multiple walks a day- I don't love spending a lot of time inside. So I take breaks by going for walks! We also love to relax and unwind, only really love a good happy hour and to be in bed by 9. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I stick to their normal routine as much as possible—meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles all on their schedule. I take the time to learn your pet’s quirks, preferences, and energy level so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m neat, respectful, and always leave your home the way I found it. In my home, pets have cozy spots to relax, plenty of playtime, and of course—constant supervision, belly rubs, and photo updates. Basically, I become your pet’s temporary best friend. ❤️
“Karine was great with our two dogs. She provided numerous updates and pictures. She also took very good care of our house. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“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!”
About: Have had dogs and cats. I’ve worked with senior dogs, puppies, every stage in between. I think it’s important to have a good time with your pets, and give them the best care possible. Life is hard, pets make it easier! :) I work from home, so the animals are always well attended to and cared for. I am never away for more than an hour or two, and am able to provide frequent updates whenever requested because of my schedule. I usually provide an update around feeding time (if they’re fed twice then twice a day) with pictures and or videos and a small update when they’ve eaten, how they’re doing, and any changes I ask the client to provide a schedule of what their pet is used to. Some pets have special diets, certain amount of food, certain feeding times, special treats, etc. In general, owners like having things done a certain way. I ask for the client to provide as much detail as possible, this way I can provide the best care.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,465 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.
