“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!”
“Katie’s awesome! So friendly and helpful and genuine. I was in a bind and so lucky to have her take care of our dog for the day. It took the stress away not having to worry about our dog’s care-you can tell she cares. She went out of her way to be tidy and even took our dog on long walks despite the rain! We will definitely use her again!”
“This is the first time we’ve ever had an outside person come to our home to care for our pup and it was nothing but a positive experience. From the meet and greet to the drop-in, Kage exceeded our expectations. His kindness and professionalism impressed us; he followed all of our instructions to a T, (our dog is under a medical protocol and needed special care) and his update at the end of the drop-in was very reassuring, detailed and thoughtful. We will not hesitate to have him come back to take care of Josie!”
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.
“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: 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!
“Andrea is awesome! Our elderly cat was in trouble and Andrea responded immediately by calling us and helping to create and move forward with a plan of action-and then went above and beyond by taking our cat to the vet and staying there while the situation was assessed. I highly recommend Andrea—she knows animals and is extremely supportive to both the animal and the pet owners.”
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. You can trust that your pets will be safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in a clean and secure environment under my supervision.
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: 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.
“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!”
“I am a cat dad and my buddy Atlas is my world and then some. Ashley has helped care for Atlas the past couple of years and there are very few people that Atlas and I trust more than her. She not only covers the basics of food, water, and general comfort, but really goes the next level to spend some true quality time with my buddy. I can count on one hand how many people Atlas will take a nap with, she is one of the few that he will just be so content and comfortable with her around. She is observant and communicates any and all questions she might have to ensure the best possible care, all the while sending pictures to keep me updated on how well he is being treated. I normally have anxiety about leaving my furry kid but with Ashley there is no fears and no worries, just focusing on the trips and awwwing about great pictures being sent. 10/10 your pets should get the chance to meet Ashley.”
“Jonathan was absolutely wonderful! He watched my two cats for me while I was away for about a week and treated them so well. They warmed up to him immediately which doesn’t usually happen and he made sure to spend good time with them each day for brushing, treats, and general company. I would definitely recommend him!”

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Palmer on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of July 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 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.
