About: I have always grown up with animals. Right now I have 2 dogs, 2 gerbils and 12 chickens! I love animals and will love yours too! I currently work from home so I have pretty open availability. I would love to help you feel more comfortable when you can't be home to take care of your pets. I have no issues following your directions on how you want your pet taken care of. I love to take dogs on walks and enjoy spending time with them.
“Had another great experience having Crystal checking on my cat. Crystal was very timely. I was provided with updates and pictures following each visit to assure me that my cat was being well taken care of. I will definitely use Crystal on my next trip!”
“Timothy is very prompt, patient, and thorough with his drop in visits. Showed up on time and made sure to hit all his items on the punch list I gave him. My dog can be very excitable and he was very patient with her. I was very worried about leaving my babygirl with a stranger and he put all my worries at ease. I will definitely be using Timothy in the future.”
“She was extremely kind and patient with the dogs! Our dog had a few accidents but she was super nice and understanding and cleaned it up for us! We would recommend her!”
“Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!”
About: I've been surrounded by furry friends since day one! 🐶 Seriously, I can't remember a time without a doggo by my side. Thinking about all the pets I've had makes me so happy. 🥰 Anyone else feel like their pets are family? It's the best kind of love! Enjoying the freedom of open schedule currently at home full-time. So furry buddies will get Daily walks around the lake to offer a refreshing escape. Relaxing time outside under tree shade help me do some gardening🤣. Dogs will be created when I am not home. I currently own a golden retriever. She's a friendly dog. I don't have a fenced in yard my dog listens to commands. Leashes and yard leads will be used. At night dogs will be in their creates.
“We're so happy Erin agreed to take care of our cats again while we were out of town! She's very dependable and communicated with us every day that we were away. We hope we'll get to work with her again sometime!”
About: I have grown up on a farm all my life caring for dogs, cats, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. I showed competitively in 4H, so providing good quality care is very important to me. I work full time Monday to Thursday in the medical field, so I’m available all day Friday-Sunday to take care of any needs or pet care. I have one dog of my own, a border collie named Ryder. I have a very large yard for plenty of space to run and crate if needed.
“We were very pleased with how Sabrina showed great patience with our pets. She communicated very well throughout the entire visit 👏 with text and pictures. Thanks Sabrina 😊. We hope you will be available in the near future because of your professionalism.”
About: I have grown up with a family of many people and even more dogs. I have dog sat for my family and friends for the last decade. I have given daily medicine and injections to miniature pinschers, German shepherds, and Boston terriers. I have walked large dogs and small. I love sharing a bed and chair with all breeds. I love running and jogging and entertaining dogs. I am available 24 hours on the weekends. During the week I work virtually. I love having the company of dogs and cats. Walks are so much more fun with all four-legged friends! I am available after 5 pm during the week and any time on the weekends. I would love to meet your pup or kitten ahead of my first walk or drop-in visit. I will make sure that your animals are comfortable with me before approaching them in your home. I will make sure to remove my shoes and to dry your pup's feet (if you would like) before returning inside after a walk.
About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.
“Allie was wonderful with my dogs and put me at ease. It is so hard to find a trustworthy and reliable human that you trust to take care of your beloved dogs. She was timely, sent pictures, and our golden girls really adored her! To top it off, she washed my dog's bowls after their lunch! That was so unexpected, but it was sweet surprise to come home to clean bowls. She definitely goes the extra mile. I would definitely use Allie again, ven for overnight pet sitting while we are out of town.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and many different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also spent time living on a farm, which taught me how to responsibly care for animals and understand their individual needs. I previously ran my own dog-walking, training, and pet-sitting business for several years, giving me hands-on experience with exercise, basic training, feeding, playtime, and providing pets with plenty of attention and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also a proud pet parent to three cats and a puppy of my own, so I understand firsthand how much love, attention, patience, and care pets deserve every day. My own pets are truly family, and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. I’m currently self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and accommodate walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding depending on your needs. I’m happy to discuss scheduling in advance and make sure your pets receive consistent care and attention while you’re away. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise routines, and any special needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so I treat every animal with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own pets.
About: Old or young cat or dog animals deserve love and care and if I was leaving my dog somewhere I’d want to make sure he’s safe with someone who cares that’s me It fits in with me because I wake up with my dog everyday take care of him. He is apart of my routine. I needed two more words. My home or yours. Your animals will be cared for with a lot of attention. Also I’m not only doing it for the money I love animals and spending time with them.
“Elizabeth is beyond an amazing pet sitter! She truly cares about your pet and is greatly knowledgeable as she has past experience in the field. She is trustworthy and is great with communication! I am so happy we found her to help with our puppy! Would absolutely recommend to others!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
About: Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority. I provide loving, reliable care with plenty of updates, photos, playtime, and cuddles—so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands! I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week. Starting in August, I’ll be attending school two days a week, but I’ll still have plenty of availability to care for your pets. I do not offer overnight house sitting, but I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages during each visit. I care for every pet with love, patience, and respect, treating them as if they were my own. I’m honest, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palmer is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $27 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 673 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palmer. 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
