“Jamie is awesome with dogs. She is gentle and directive and my pup responded well to her. She also went out of her way to interact with my dog the way we do at home. She spoke to her in Spanish and kept up with practicing her usual tricks. And I was really impressed to hear that she ventured out to the river with her three dogs plus my little one who swam and played fetch. That is more than I could ask of any sitter. Thanks a million for your kindness towards animals including my very own!”
“We had Giulia look after our dog Ellie over the holidays and I can't recommend her enough! Ellie had a great time with Giulia and her family, as well as with the other dogs in her care. Giulia sent updates with photos throughout Ellie's stay, which we really appreciated and enjoyed. She is just a natural with dogs and I know she treated Ellie as one of her own during her stay. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: ’m a dog lover at heart, with 10+ years of professional dog sitting and walking experience. We enjoy daily walks in beautiful Alaska nature, and my doggie guests truly get to have a “HAY DAY” here! 💕🗻☀️🐶😄 Our home is cozy, calm, and full of love — with comfy couches, plenty of doggie toys, and lots of gentle attention. My sweet doggie Buddy and the friendly Chihuahua in our household both enjoy the company of well-mannered, friendly furry guests who like to play, relax, or simply be part of the family during the day. 🐾 Our Guest Vibe (Important Please Read) Because we also have a Chihuahua here, and to keep everyone safe, relaxed, and happy, we now welcome: • Small to medium-sized dogs, or • Friendly, gentle “neighborhood dog” types (such as Labs, Retrievers, Poodles, mixes with similar temperaments) For everyone’s comfort, we are not a fit for dogs with: • Chasing instincts toward small dogs • Territorial, food-guarding, or toy-protective behaviors • High prey drive or rough play styles This helps us maintain a peaceful, loving, all-friends-together environment where every dog feels safe and cared for. 🏡 A True VIP Experience This is a kennel-free, home-away-from-home vacation or day-stay experience — not a high-volume boarding setup. I intentionally keep a small, compatible group so each dog receives calm attention, affection, and a family atmosphere. If your dog loves: ✨ Cozy home vibes ✨ Daily nature walks ✨ Friendly companions ✨ Gentle care and personal attention …then this may be their perfect little vacation retreat 💖🐾 I’m always happy to chat beforehand to make sure it’s a wonderful match for everyone — dogs and humans alike! I work from home, and take just a few doggies at a time (doggie sitting is my happy side gig) - so they get to have a home away from home experience that’s not overwhelming, but cozy, full of personal attention, love, and fun. Your fur baby will have exclusive personal company and care here: it’s a safe, good energy, and very dog friendly environment. See the main description 🐶💕
“Mia was wonderful! I was really nervous about leaving Archie for the first time. My other sitters had fallen through and she was able to help us out with only a few days notice which was so appreciated. Her communication was great and we received pictures and videos of Archie. He got lots of walks and time outside. I would recommend Mia to anyone who wants their dog to be treated with the best care.”
“Jennifer is super attentive and kind. She paid great attention with my dog and has kept me updated with lots of photos. I highly suggest her to anyone and has my greatest regards.”
About: I have watched my friends and family’s pups like they’re my own countless times! We always have such a great time. I have one dog, Ricco, who is great with other pups of all sizes and ages. We have a large intended yard that’s great for fetch and trails nearby for walks or runs! I work 7.5hrs per day, MWF I work from home and TR I work in Wasilla. I like to take the fur babes everywhere that I can, just to get them out of the house, even if it’s mundane post office runs or whatever. Per manufacturer’s (owner’s) instructions! Try to keep pets apart when feeding. Let out as often as requested (and feasible per my work schedule). Like to let pets play together if they’re friendly to each other.
“Tania was wonderful! She took our pup on walks and brought her along on outings with the family. She was quick to respond to my messages and answered all of my question. Drop off and pick up were easy. My nervous puppy happily followed her into the house as soon as she met Tania. Highly recommend! We will definitely book with her again next time we need someone to watch our pup.”
“Tina was a great dog sitter for my 2 pups. She was very attentive and sent a lot of pictures. She was very flexible when unexpected circumstances come up with my planned return date. Tina had prompt responses to all of my messages, and she went out of her way to make the pups feel at home. I recommend her for your dog sitting needs and will be using her in the future!”
“Brittany was wonderful with our pup! He had a great time and was welcomed into her house like family. She sent great pictures and updates on him. We would absolutely recommend Brittany and plan on having him stay with her in the future.”
“Ramona was seriously really great. We could tell she and her family were genuinely happy to have our dog Murphy at their home for a few days. We received several updates and pictures of Murphy. Murphy didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! We will absolutely be using Ramona in the future.”

“Chelsea did a fantastic job sitting for our dogs! She was responsive when we had questions and sent us daily updates with photos demonstrating that the dogs were having a great time at her place. In fact, they seemed kind of bummed when we arrived to pick them up. 😂 We would 100% recommend Chelsea as a sitter to others and book with her again for our dogs.”
About: Hello! My husband and I both grew up with pets as family members and love the energy and joy they bring to life! We are now a family of 3 with a sweet, gentle daughter who loves animals as well. She has been asking for a pet but as we’re not able to commit at this time, we would love to dedicate our time to the part-time care of yours! We are ready to love your furry pal💜 I am a full-time Mom so am available most of the day. We can adjust our day to working with your pet’s needs and preferences as well! We enjoy taking walks and hikes and would love to bring your dog along. We also like to hang out in our large yard (though unfenced) and are on a lake if your pup likes to swim. We also enjoy lots of creative indoor activities and couch hangs. We will cater to your pets needs!
“My dog loved staying with Chelsea. Chelsea is very kind and sweet and obviously knows what she is doing. Chelsea greeted my dog with a toy, has a huge fenced yard and there were other dogs to play with. My dog had lots of fun, lots of romping and lots of cuddling. I was reassured to see the photos of my dog seeming so happy while she was there. Couldn't have been better.”
About: I’ve spent my life around dogs of all shapes and sizes, and caring for them has always been an important part of my life. With 3 years experience working in a dog boarding facility and 3 dogs of my own, I understand the importance of attentive care, structure and consistent routines! I provide structured walks, mental stimulation, and exercise to help keep your dog happy, healthy, and fulfilled, while reinforcing good manners and maintaining the training and routines you’ve established at home. For in-home boarding, your dog will stay in a comfortable home environment with a fenced in yard, heated garage for chilly days and a large, open living area for indoor activities and relaxing. All pets in my care sleep in kennels at night to ensure a safe, cozy place to rest. I currently have a flexible schedule and completely open availability, I have 3 dogs of my own and your pet will be treated as part of the family! I have a fenced in yard, and three friendly dogs who would love to welcome your pups into our daily schedule of play, walks and activities! Your dog will always be attended to, and have a safe kenneled space to rest in if ever unsupervised.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Palmer is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmer
We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She took great care of our cat, Nayla, and sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nayla was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!
Astrid went above and beyond for our three pups, taking extra care to accommodate their special feeding needs, keeping them active, and ensuring they felt safe, loved, and comfortable the entire time. She was incredibly friendly, reliable, and had excellent communication—always quick to respond and consistently keeping us updated with the sweetest photos and videos. We could truly relax knowing our dogs were in such capable and caring hands. I couldn’t recommend Astrid more highly to anyone looking for a warm, trustworthy, and attentive sitter who treats your pets like her own!
Astrid is a great dog sitter. Her love of dogs really shows in the great care she gave our dog, Gizmo. Her pets were welcoming and playful to him. He had lots of room to run around in her beautiful fenced back yard. She kept me updated with pictures of him throughout his stay. Highly recommend Astrid and I'll be using her services again when we're staying in the valley.

There are 88 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Palmer. About 89% of Palmer sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
