Mary Jo was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be booking her again! She followed all of my instructions, took great care of my cats, and kept my home just as I left it. Her updates were detailed, and she sent the cutest photos during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What really impressed me was her attention to detail. She noticed little things, like when the water fountain needed refilling, that past sitters had overlooked. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend Mary Jo to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!

Madelyn was absolutely wonderful! I got detailed updates daily while I was gone for two weeks, including a bunch of photos with the text updates. She communicated clearly how both were doing each day, and I could tell she was making every effort to comfort my shy cat. I always worry leaving them alone in the house, but had no reason to with Madelyn checking in on them daily. Absolutely recommend her, and will request her in the future 🙂

About: As a dog owner myself, I’ve had the joy of a furry companion by my side for many years. Additionally, I was a dog bather throughout college and have experience with an assortment of breeds. I enjoy connecting with pets and giving them the chance to get adequate exercise and socialization, especially in Alaskas dark months. I hope that we can find a good fit! I am currently working full time, so most walks and visits will be in the afternoons and evenings! Most weekends are fairly flexible. I do have a young child, so there are some limitations with certain availability. Safety is key and all pets deserve to feel comfortable in their own home without feeling like a stranger is infringing on their space. I will help gauge the unique needs for your individual pet and take your instructions as the owner to make them as at ease as possible.

About: When I was in high school one summer I took care of over 20 dogs for an around a week. I fed, watered, cleaned their poop, and loved on them. I am currently in between things in life right now. I am pretty free and flexible. As long as it’s within walking distance. I am gonna choose to be unavailable on Sundays. I am very respectful to your wants and needs for your dogs. Because I know you love them and I wanna love them just as much as I can.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for a wide range of pets. My journey started with 4 years of volunteering and fostering for the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago. Since then, I’ve continued fostering with PawsCo and the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region in Colorado, helping many pets while they waited for their forever homes. This summer, I'm volunteering at the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Animal Shelter. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and even farm animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including large and active dogs who need regular exercise, structure, outdoor time, and plenty of attention. I’m a full-time remote worker and digital nomad, which gives me a flexible lifestyle and allows me to spend a lot of time with the pets in my care. I can work from anywhere with reliable internet (I do have my own Starlink for that, too), so house sitting works especially well for me because I’m able to be around throughout much of the day rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. I especially love hiking with dogs and caring for pups who enjoy being active, but I’m equally happy spending the day working from home with a senior dog curled up nearby or a cat keeping me company. While my personal and work travel currently prevents me from being a full-time dog parent, fostering, volunteering, house sitting, and offering my services through Rover allow me to keep animals as a big part of my life! And I love it! 🌺🌺 Hawaii Winter 2026–2027 🌺🌺 This winter, my husband Eduardo will be joining me for our Hawaii stay. We’ll be arriving before Thanksgiving and plan to spend several months in Hawaii through February. We’re both experienced house sitters and are currently finishing an extended house sit in Alaska. We take caring for someone’s home just as seriously as caring for their pets, and we’re comfortable with longer stays and established household routines. We’re also completely open to island hopping for the right sits, so we’re happy to consider opportunities on Oʻahu, Maui, the Big Island, Kauaʻi, or elsewhere in Hawaii. Rover isn’t a primary source of income for us, as Eduardo and I both have established full-time remote careers. We’re offering house sitting at a significantly lower rate because it fits naturally with our winter travels and helps offset some of our accommodation costs while allowing us to spend time caring for animals. Because of that, longer stays are especially appealing to us, and I’m happy to keep my rate very affordable when the arrangement is a great fit for everyone! Our remote work also means we can spend significantly more time at home with the pets in our care. We’re active and love walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures, but we’re just as comfortable adapting to quieter pets, senior animals, medication schedules, or pets who simply want lots of companionship. If you’re planning a trip this winter and are looking for experienced, dependable, loving house sitters who will truly spend time with your pets and care for your home as if it were our own, I’d be very happy to chat. We’re especially interested in multi-week and longer house sits anywhere in Hawaii between late November and February, but we’re happy to consider shorter stays as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! 🐾🌺 I work from home, so can move my hours around as needed and will adjust my days to your furry baby if needed. I am also very active, so happy to take your pups around and get them a proper exercise! My house's doors are always closed and since my backyard is not fenced, I never let the dogs off-leash and only use a long leash to have them run around or chase a ball / other toys.

Katie is such a treasure! She took incredibly good care of my pups, sharing pics and observations of them the whole time I was away. Even went above and beyond and made an extra visit when my flight home was delayed. So glad she’s joined us here in the Wood River Valley!

About: Iv had dogs my entire life. From labs to bullterriers, pitbulls, britneys,GPS puppies, mixes. I will take care of yours as I would my own. Walks, parks if yours likes parks, cuddles, anything they need. I work from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings or extended stays with advance notice, and I’m quick to respond to messages. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Dogs are always leashed outside and stay within my sight at all times. I closely follow your care instructions, keep a calm and attentive environment, and make sure pets get plenty of love, supervision, and safe play. I treat every dog like they’re my own.

About: I’m not a teen :) so I will show up without fail on time every time. I’m not the cheap option but I guarantee that there’ll be no surprises if you hire me. If you have multiple pets, please reach out to me, we can discuss a personalized rate. (Pet Sitting/night rate covers me being with your pet 17hours/day, usually from 5 pm to 10 am) I am around dogs and cats all my life, that’s my happy place and I love every aspect of it, even the not so glamorous parts like cleaning, listening to barking, or dealing with emergencies. I worked at a pet Resort for years here in Alaska working with all types of furry friends. I have a soft spot for seniors, I also have a lovely old lady in my home, a 12 year old German Shepherd, Molly. If I may suggest something to any pet owner in our valley: please don’t choose your sitter based on who’s the cheapest available option… taking care of your pets in your home is a big responsibility. Great joy as well of course but it must be done with 100% attention, care and love. I can promise that 100% because that’s the only setting in my book when it comes to animals. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need help, I would love to be there for you and for your pets. I raised three children, all grown-up now. I have the time now for your pets. Because of my love for animals, I look forward to helping you when you need it! Safety is THE most important aspect of taking care of a pet, so before I start working with one I always have multiple questions to the owner. Knowing your doggie, knowing the routine, the environment etc is a crucial factor in providing a safe and quality service.

About: Hello! My name is Joanna. I grew up around animals since I lived on acreage. As a kid we had cows, chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats. I used to pet sit all of the time when I was in high school and even helped train bird dogs. I currently have a dog of my own, her name is Aurora, she is 85 lbs of pure outgoing love. I have plenty of experience with cats as well, I used to cat sit and even foster. I have a pretty lenient schedule, I am flexible so as long as we are able to communicate pick up and drop off it should be fine. We live on acreage where I takes the dogs for a walk and we also have two big dog kennels. I have a dog and so does my mom so they will have friends to play with. We have one outdoor cat but no indoor cats. If you have cats we have a litter box and they will stay inside.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Palmer on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 177 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palmer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Palmer stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Palmer. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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.
