About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, and hamsters. I love animals and care deeply for them, I’d love to have the opportunity to care for others :) My mother is a veterinary assistant as well, so I have reliable access to someone knowledgeable about pets should the need arise. I’m currently a student at home so my schedule is pretty open! I’d prefer in home visits and house sitting, that way your furry friend can get to know me in a place where they are comfortable and happy :) I’m available most days and would be happy to go spend time with your pets! My pets are very particular about their schedules, so I’m used to them ruling the house haha. Dog usually goes out at three scheduled times (but more if necessary), once in the morning when we wake up, once in the afternoon, and once before bed. Let me know your feeding routine! Every pet is different, so let know how they prefer :)

“Josephine was great! I had such peace of mind while I was away due to the great pictures and updates she reported after every visit. She is very trustworthy and timely- she checked in at my pet’s exact meal times each day. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”

About: I have grown up with all sorts of pets. I worked at a clinic for a little while learning all sorts of wonderful things about our pets! I dog sit for a few friends now and I am fully comfortable with any and all breeds, I know how to crate dogs, and I am willing and able to walk them as long as they are used to :) I currently work a full-time job (Monday-Friday) but am off by 4pm! I am available any time on weekends as well. I would love to pet sit on my free time! I also did a year of college for animal health and behavior so I am willing to work with all types of pets! :) I did an internship at a local animal shelter, and became aware of body languages, mechanisms, and personalities of many animals! I would love to get to know the people and pets around my neighborhood! :)

“I highly recommend Lila. She did an amazing job with my three cats. She is very diligent and honest. Gustav needs a pill and she was able to give him that. Betty is very timid but she went to Lila. Lila kept me updated with texts and photos everyday. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having Lila take care of my fur babies whenever I travel!”

About: I have been a Petsitter since I was young. Whether it’s just going for walks or overnight stays. All pets welcome no fear over here. From cats to reptiles and anything in between! I’m comfortable working with reactive pets & pets with medical needs. I rescue through halfway home cat rescue were I’ve had many medical recovery kitties on top of feral kitties. I’m creative with getting things done carefully and safely for your pets. As a pet sitter, safety is my top priority. I make sure to follow all instructions provided by pet owners to ensure their pets are well cared for in a secure environment. I am experienced in recognizing signs of stress, discomfort, or illness, and I always act quickly to address any concerns. Whether it's securing the house, keeping pets away from hazards, or following medication schedules, I'm committed to providing a safe and stress-free experience. I am now a full time pet sitter. So it gives me the flexibility to be available early morning and evening with overnight as well. I currently have a full home so I do not care in my own home. But I am more then available for in home visits and overnight if needed!

“She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.”

About: I have always had a pet dog and ever since I was a teenager, I’d dog-sit for family and neighbors. Since college, I’ve been pet-sitting ajd dog walking on a more professional level. I’ve babysat for a few hours, simply for a walk, but have also watched multiple high energy dogs for up to two weeks. I’ve cared for dogs under a year old and up to 13 years old. I’ve always loved dogs and find them very easy to get along with and care for no matter their size, age, or personality. I have also cared for kittens a few weeks old, senior cats, administering medication orally, grooming them if they have long hair etc. Cats have a very different energy than dogs but I enjoy taking care of them just as much as dogs. I am currently in between jobs so I have a lot of free time to care for other dogs, whether it is a short walk or a multi-hour play date, etc. I always follow whatever guidance I am provided by pet parents. This means if you are only comfortable with your dog on a leash or lead while in your yard, I strictly follow that. If there are specific commands to use, certain behavior to watch out for or discourage, particular toys or activities they enjoy, I always follow what information I am given and am always open and communicate well about any issues or concerns that might arise on my end.

About: Hello! I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have experience with both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats, and I also had a wonderful dog named Morgan, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to adapt to whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable. If you’d like me to meet your pet before the booking, I’m more than happy to do so. If your pet prefers a calm environment, extra playtime, a specific routine, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll gladly follow your instructions. I understand how important it is to maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including weekends. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities! During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning the litter box (for cats) or picking up after walks (for dogs), playtime, administering medications (if needed and with clear instructions), and maintaining any special routines. I’ll always respect your home, keep doors and windows secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and we can go over their routine in detail. I’ll send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Palmer

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Palmer is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $18 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 318 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Palmer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palmer. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.

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.
