“Emily was our first experience with Rover and we are so glad we picked her for our needs! Emily took our request on a very short notice and was very willing and flexible to make it work. She showed great communication skills putting us at ease and most importantly, our dog loved her. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs! I have three of my own so I’m used to dogs with different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I take them on walks, give them baths, dry and brush them, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away! 🐾🐶 Im currently working part time so ill have lots of time to play with your pups! There only block in my schedule is Mondays. And some days that I’m scheduled for I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs and make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of attention. When caring for a pet in their home, I respect the owner’s space and follow their instructions and routine.
“Our recent booking with Michele was our first time using her drop-in visits for our little guy Buddy. We had a very pleasant introductory visit and a final pre-vacation meeting to go over his care during our vacation. Michele was very easy going and punctual. During her four daily visits for eight days, she was never late and provides us a visual update of their time together. We highly recommend Michele for your dog sitting needs. She is reliable, outgoing, caring and always on time.”
“Adrianna is by far the best pet sitter we have had. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and my dogs loved her. I got updated photos while she was here for the visit and I couldn’t be happier with how my dogs were treated and taken care of. If you are looking for someone to watch your furry family she is the one I would highly recommend.”
“Repeating client here of Olivia’s ! My dog absolutely adores Olivia, he’s always well cared for and I so appreciate her attention to detail. When she comes over to do a quick check in before her visits Coba jumps on her and hugs her with excitement and when we’re talking he is so calm and just sits at her feet. Olivia goes above and beyond when caring for him, she understands and this time was especially worthy of a shoutout since Coba had a dew claw injury and Oliva had zero problems taking time to remove or place on his cone during her visits. She also has a high energy dog and she’s always one step ahead, especially with an injury. Her Rover cards and epic photos are what kept us smiling when we were away on our trip missing our crag dog. Thank you Olivia see you soon!”
About: I have had pets since I was a little girl starting with cats that lived into their 20s and a childhood dog that was my very best friend for over half my life that died at age 14. He was a great dog with lots of energy. I have enjoyed my own pets and other people's pets over the years. I am extremely kind hearted and love all animals and believe they deserve the best life possible! I would love to pet sit any time I am available which is pretty open at the current time. Please Just give me a call or text or email and I will let you know right away if I am available to walk, pet sit, play with, or whatever else you need or want me to do with your little furry one. I love animals and take amazing care of them. I am pretty flexible at the moment except for driving the family around and some part time work. Other than that I can devote my time to caring for your baby. I have a big fenced yard with lots of space and and nice big house too :) I am open for all kinds of pet sitting walks daycare drop ins etc.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. Owning most of my pets from 4-8 weeks old until they sadly passed as seniors I have tons of experience with all age ranges of both cats and dogs alike. Growing up I had two childhood dogs named Brooke and Brandy. They were there most of my childhood, watching me grow from a child to the adult I am today, until they both passed shortly apart a couple years ago. As they watched me grow I also watched them grow; From energetic crazy puppies, to seniors. Seniors whose bodies could no longer keep up with their mind, which was still as energetic as that puppy I once knew them as. Watching them grow old sucks. As of now I own one dog who specializes in daily desert walks (sometimes twice a day), tons of treats, and lots of rough housing. At the moment I am working part time mid day and also going to the gym. I have plenty of time in between to hang out with your fur babies. Having owned both dogs and cats with widely ranging personalities and quirks, I understand the day to day routine, struggles, and how our babies are not just pets but our family. I would hope someone would take great care and attention to make sure my pets are safe, secure, and happy. Therefore I would have passion in assuring the same goes for pets under my care. Not just because I hope someone would do it for my pets, but because I genuinely love and care for all animals.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 14. I have loved animals since I was born and am able to administer medications and also insulin if needed. My first pet sitting actually involved small farm animals too! ***Rates will be per day*** I work at Yard house, a restaurant in the Palmdale valley. While I can work late hours I will always make sure your animal’s care comes first and foremost. I currently do not have my own home as I am renting a room. I sadly am not able to offer board and care in my own home at this time.
“Absolutely perfect! Marlon took incredible care of my cats and home while I was gone. Pictures and updates daily. He truly went above and beyond what I was expecting. I would not hesitate to hire him again and again!!”
“Hanna did a couple drop in visits on our dog over the weekend and we were very satisfied with the care! She was reliable, had great communication, and was very attentive to our dog’s needs. We especially appreciated her attention to detail and the questions she asked to provide the best care before we could even think of the important things to share with her. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I love animals probably more then people at times and I will love your fur babies as if they were my own and take great care of them! I am wide open with availability during the day in case your pets need someone with them for most of the day or if they are fine being alone for certain amount of time. Currently not working full time . I live in an apartment so I won’t be offering to take in any pets as theirs a limit of how many can be staying here. At the moment.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra attention while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for, while giving you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved is always a priority. Making sure they can’t get into anything harmful. I make sure they’re leashed every walk and that nothing harms the pet whatsoever. They’re in good hands.

Emily thank you so much for Lunas care. You really take pride in assisting help for Luna and the peace of mind you give me. My Luna is very happy and I can see it. You take initiative and the 3rd time was a charm-she was behind gate when I got home. Great job!
Cheyanne took good care of Shelby, Windsor, and Regina George. She completed the drop-in visits, followed our feeding instructions, and sent photo updates throughout the weekend. After an address mix-up at the start, she still came to the correct house and took care of the dogs. They were well looked after.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palmdale is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,732 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palmdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 with handling special pet needs in Palmdale. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
