“Pleasure to work with and coordinate the visit. Highly recommend Katie to anyone who wants detailed attention for their fur baby. We’ll be using her services on a routine basis. Thank you for making Kai’s first experience an enjoyable one!”
“Cara is extremely professional and a delight when she checks in on our little guy. Her communication is timely and provides a great level of assurance that our cat is well taken care of. We are beyond thrilled that we found Cara!”
“Lauren was so helpful, consistent and communicative. My dogs were well taken care of, walked, and loved for the few days I was gone. Lauren made sure I knew how my dogs were doing and updated me each step of the way! Highly recommend!”
“Kage was great with Stella and Luna. Each drop in he gave a detailed description of everything along with photos. He had good base knowledge of cat behavior which made us feel comfortable right away. 10/10 recommend!”
About: Ive had a dog for 5 years. She’s a corgi and her name is Lily. I have potty trained her and trained her on several commands. I would love and care any other dog as if they were my own. I work full time so this would be more of a part time thing whenever I’m available. I work from home so getting out and walking or watching dogs would be great. I have a fenced in yard and have one dog and two cats. I won’t be boarding for now. This would be more of taking them on walks or check in on them or house sit.
“Andrea is AMAZING! She went above and beyond for our two senior dogs. She even brushed them! Also, my parent's dog sitter canceled two days before their trip and Andrea helped watch their dogs as well. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
About: I am a cat mom and lover of all animals! I have experience with many types of animals, from cats and dogs, to reptiles and birds, to farm animals. I currently have a medically needy pet of my own, so I am well-versed in medicine administration and caring for animals with different needs. I am currently working at a school, so I have afternoons and weekends pretty much free! While I am caring for your pets, they are my number one scheduling priority. I will meet your pet where they are at in their own home, allowing them to stay in their safe space. I will adapt to their routines and give them a seamless experience until you return to them!
About: Hi! I’m Mia. I have over 5 years of professional experience working as an assistant manager at a busy dog daycare & boarding facility in Maine, along with several years of private dog walking and pet sitting experience. Caring for dogs is my full time job, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality! I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments and I’m comfortable with structured routines, medications, leash handling, feeding schedules, multi dog households, and dogs with different energy levels or personalities. Drop-in Visits: a 30 minute visit for potty breaks, playtime, feeding & lots of love 🫶🏻 Walks: a 30 or 60 minute neighborhood walk tailored to your dogs energy level and routine 🦮 Adventure Walks: an extended outing to local trails, parks, or other dog friendly spots for extra exercise and enrichment 🐾 Pet Sitting: Available on a limited basis for established clients. Your pup gets to stay cozy at home while receiving loving one on one care. Overnight stays include evening and morning routines, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship while you’re away. 🏠 Pet care is my full time job! I currently offer dog walks, drop in visits, and selective overnight care throughout the week. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention while making sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
“Samantha was wonderful with our 3 dogs, one of which isn't very cooperative with new people. She knows dogs really well, including all of their special personalities, needs, and quirks. She is also wonderful in general: very clear and responsive with communication, and very responsible and friendly. Thank you, Sam!”
“Sounds like Kai has a new friend. Thanks for accommodating the earlier start time. Let me know if you have success with her not jumping. It’s her love language but most people don’t care for it. Hoping as she gets more accustomed to her new home, she’ll be able to stay home ithiut the crate but not yet.”
About: With extensive experience in pet care, I've honed my skills in providing comprehensive and compassionate care for a variety of animals. From dogs and cats to birds and small mammals, I understand the unique needs and behaviors of each species. My experience includes feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing exercise and enrichment activities. I'm also adept at recognizing signs of illness or distress and taking appropriate action to ensure their well-being. Whether it's a daily walk, a weekend getaway, or long-term care, you can trust that your beloved pets will receive the highest level of care and attention in a safe and comfortable environment. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their furry, feathered, or scaled companions are in capable and caring hands. I’m currently working full time at a horse facility, however I am free on Tuesdays and Thursday’s as well as most mornings and any time after 5 pm As a pet sitter, safety and environmental care are my top priorities. I create a secure and comfortable environment for your pets, ensuring they are free from hazards and have access to clean and comfortable spaces. I follow all safety protocols, including proper leash handling, secure enclosures, and careful monitoring of interactions with other animals. Additionally, I am committed to maintaining a clean and sanitary environment, regularly cleaning and disinfecting feeding areas, litter boxes, and other spaces. I also take precautions to protect your home, following your instructions for security and respecting your property.

About: I’m an animal lover at heart and have been helping care for dogs since I was little, at least 20 years and counting! I “dog-sat” throughout middle and high school for friends, family & neighbors. Happy to walk, play, feed, and then some. I’m seeking additional “work” that can also help me - I firmly believe that caring for animals is beneficial for mental and physical health! I’m not only caring for them, the furr friends are taking care of me too! I’m a teacher, off for the summer, and pretty available with the exception of a short vacation here or there. I am happy to coordinate times and schedules with you around your pets needs. I love nature and spend time outside daily; I can walk them around the block, the yard, or play catch! Suggestions welcome of your "norms"
“Alissa was awesome! She was kind, communicated clearly throughout the process, and did a great job with our very anxious pup. We're so grateful that she was able to take care of him while we were gone, and I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m Kim a lifelong animal lover and dependable pet sitter with a passion for making pets feel safe, happy, and loved—even when their humans are away. I offer personalized drop-in visits that keep your pets comfortable in their own home, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. In addition to my personal experience with animals, for 5 years I ran a in-home dog boarding business which I loved! Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering meds, or just some cuddles and company, I tailor each visit to your pet’s needs and routine. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I take pride in being calm, respectful, and attentive to detail. You’ll receive updates, photos, and honest communication after every visit—because I know how important it is to stay connected with your fur baby while you’re away! My weekly schedule allows for availability on the weekends, holidays and after typical business hours during the week! I’d love to take care of your pets outside of business hours! I am extremely careful with fur family members. I have fostered many dogs, boarded and house sat for hundreds of animals and safety is my number one priority!! I am CPR certified for dogs.
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! :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmer
Katherine is the best, I would trust her with my first born child- fur baby or real baby! She is the so nice, attentive and considerate. She is thorough and thoughtful. My animals have had their own special needs and she has catered to them and made me feel 100% confident and comfortable when we were away. She sends pictures through the trip and I can say they clearly love her as Aunty Katherine. I have never seen them so loving with anyone outside of our immediate family. She is a blessing. Thank you Katherine!!

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 July 2026, there are 1,853 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
