Shatara was amazing! Definitely made leaving my baby on vacation easier when I knew she would be there to take good care of him. She also sent me pictures so I could see what he was up to daily. From the first meeting you could tell she loved animals and made me confident she would deliver wonderful care.

Jennifer did a great job watching over my three dogs and made sure to follow their special instructions with no problems. She was on time for each drop-in and helped me to have a stress-free time away.

About: I have loved and handled pets/animals of all kind since I was a toddler with no fear in sight. Outside of my own pets, most of my family and friends have always had some sort of pet that I have watched or taken care of- dogs, cats, snakes, fish, turtles, ferrets, lizards, some of everything. My grandfather also had a farm with horses, chickens and cattle that my brother and I helped him take care of. I am a substitute teacher, so I don’t work everyday. This also means that I have the summer and holidays off so my flexibility is very high. If I am in someone else’s home caring for their pet, I follow all rules set by the owner for both the pet I’m watching and myself. If I am watching a pet at my home, I make sure everything is very neat and clean so there are no health hazards and they can’t get into things they shouldn’t.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I love doing it. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule. Staying overnight is not a problem or coming by during the day can be done as well. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur babies safe, but still enough room to play around. I don't leave them alone outside I'm always around.

About: I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I understand that pets are family, so I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I provide dependable services including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, while keeping your pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s high-energy exercise or calm, gentle care. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, including photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands. I pride myself on being punctual, trustworthy, and easy to work with, and I aim to build long-term relationships with both pets and their owners. I work a hybrid full-time schedule, which allows me to be home frequently throughout the week. This gives me plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship for your pet during the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, as well as weekends. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully enclosed acre backyard, providing plenty of secure space for dogs to run, play, and get exercise in a safe environment. Inside, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where animals can relax and feel comfortable. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, and any special instructions, and I always supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate crate training if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, active, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: My experience started when I was around 9 years old. My aunt had a cocker spaniel so that was my introduction into what caring for pets looked like. I treated Diamond, her name, as if she was my own. I learned how to bathe her, feed her, discipline her, play with her, and take her for walks. That same aunt then got three more dogs; a yorkie, a cavapo, and a pit bull so I got experience with taking care of three different dogs at the same time. It was beneficial because all three dogs had their own personalities. Also, pit bulls are so sweet and not the monsters the media says they are:). Next, my brother got a husky, Koda who you may see pictured, so that helped me learn what it was like to take care of big dogs. At first, Koda was scary because of his size but I soon learned that he was just a baby who wanted attention🥹. So I did just that. I would go out and play with him, give him toys, feed him, give him treats, and take him for walksies. It was hard because he pulls but I think I got the hand of it lol. Also, one of my cousins has a chihuahua/poodle mix who I’ll see every now and then who loves to do everything. She’s given me the most experience of how different a dog can be but she’s also so chill🥰 Recently, I gained experience with cats. Me and my roomies decided to adopt a cat named Junior who definitely gave us a run for our money. From seeing him when he was 4 months to now all grown up it’s been a ride. He loves to hide, is very mischievous, hates the outside, loves to climb, and picks and chooses when he wants to cuddle. He was definitely crazy but I love him so much. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters from time to time which have had dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. That has definitely helped me expand my knowledge and gave me a lot of insight on how it is to treat puppies, kitties, sick babies, and the elderly ones🥺. So no matter what your fur baby has to offer, I’ll be there to love on them and provide them with what they need while your away🥰 I’m a college student home for the holidays so I will have a pretty open schedule! I don’t start school for another month so if you are looking for someone to watch your babies as the summer wraps up and last minute trips are taken, I got you!!❤️ All I ask for is a days notice at minimum and I’ll be happy to watch your babies. I will follow all rules presented by the owner. I will treat all pets like they are my very own and make sure they are loved and watched over!

About: My availability is very flexible. I work from home now and am finally able to love on your fur babies around the clock! I also offer house sitting at your home or at my house as well. I love taking the fur babies out for a walk. It’s good exercise for them and myself to get fresh air. Previously had two chihuahua’s that were escape artists so fully doggy proof. I also have experience on working with handicap fur babies. I currently worked with a fur baby that lost motion in his back legs prior to his visit to me and he was/is now able to balance on his back legs from the at home physical therapy we would do. And now he gets so excited when I drop by his home to check on him (we are actual best friends seriously.) I am available to walk your dogs or check in on your cats/dogs while you are away as well as make sure they are fed and have plenty of water and play time throughout the day if you have an extremely busy schedule. I have been house sitting dogs and cats previously for well over 15 years and have owned pets previously (before my parents moved overseas and kept the pack together) for well over 20 years. Would love to help with your fur babies! I work full time as a manager from home so I am able to fully utilize loving on your fur baby as well as take them out for walks and potty breaks consistently. When I am pet sitting the babies sleep in the bed with me and are on the couch getting all of the cuddles. It is a staycation.

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover, and caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life. From tiny, nervous rescues to big, goofy cuddle-bugs, I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I'm patient, gentle, and attentive - the kind of sitter who notices the little things, keeps routines consistent, and makes sure your dog feels safe, loved, and understood. Whether it's walks, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is simple: happy dogs and peace of mind for their humans. I work part-time and have flexible hours for pet care. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekday afternoons after 2p.m. Your dog will always have calm, consistent company. My home is quiet and safe, with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I keep routines simple and peaceful, making sure every pup feels secure and cared for. Crating or separate rest spaces are always available if needed.

About: Message me so can discuss private pay, which is much cheaper than you booking me through rover. Majority of my clients found me on rover, but use me often and pay much less strait to me. I’ve taken care of pets, dogs mostly, since I was little. I didn’t have normal chores growing up, I had the job of taking care of the household pets. This gave me responsibility and respect for all living beings. Dogs happen to have a warm spot in my heart. I work full time, during a 4 day work period. I have 7 household dogs and 2 outdoor Kit cats. These pets are my world and make every day better as I come home with an exhausted mindset. I have a large yard that allows my pets to run back and forth. They come in at night and love to cuddle on mommas bed.

About: I have dog sat for different animals all ages and special accommodations needed for them. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, hedgehogs, birds, tortoises and fish. I am open to watching any animal tho, I love to learn new things. I am big outdoor gal so I definitely would like to go on walks or play outside. Yet I also love a good movie night and don’t mind snuggles from the fur babies! I have fur baby of my own while working, so doing this part time would be great. On my days that I have available I can’t think of better way then to get to be around animals. I always say my dog is like my child. I treat him like it and love to be around him even when he might be sassy here and there lol! In clients home I want to be able to have their fur baby be comfortable around me and I want to take the best care of them I can!

About: I’ve had big AND small dogs my entire childhood! I’ve also taken care of horses, steers, pigs, chickens, birds (exotic), dogs, cats! After growing up with only dogs and small house pets (hamsters, crabs, fish, frogs, and lizards)In my adulthood, my husband and I have opened our home to several rescues through the six years we’ve been together. At our home we consider ourselves “last owners” animals come to us to live out the rest of their lives, comfortable and loved. We’ve been by the side of 6 rescue birds, a few kittens and one chameleon to watch them cross over the rainbow bridge, and complete their journey. Between Gage (my husband) and I we have 10 cats (willow, meadow, sushi, pumpkin, chai, jenny, lucifer, salem, peggy & naruto) 5 birds (blanca, bleezy, grim, puffer & mongo bongo - she’s a 46 year old scarlett macaw! - ) 1 dog, (chief) 1 chameleon (pascal) and 1 scalata tortoise (torchy) ! we are obviously big animal lovers!! In conclusion, We both have tons of experience around all species of animal and we want your trip to be focused on enjoying YOUR vacation plans, and not worried about if your fur babies were left in the wrong hands! Most of my clients do not have children and their pet is their child. I want to you as the parent of your sweet baby, to be confident when you walk out the door knowing i’ll be there I can not wait to care for all of your babies, fur or reptile! please feel free to reach out to me send ask about my process of meeting the baby and we can discuss pricing! (if it’s too expensive DONT PANIC! we can communicate and i will really take whatever you’d like to pay. I understand vacations are very expensive and I don’t want you to have to choose between a fun tour or activity with you family vs having adequate care for your baby while you’re away. If you think i’m perfect for your home and baby, please let me know what you can pay and i will always work it out! I AM WILLING TO DRIVE AND TRAVEL TO YOU (OUT OF STATE) MY MILAGE IS SET TO 100 MILES LETS TALK!) My husband and I currently have 5 birds, a dog, and a seven kittens, we also are thinking about getting a bearded dragon and we currently have a scalata tortoise! We’re big animal lovers and would love to take care of any your sweet babies! We’re pretty flexible, I’m a full time ROVER sitter!! He works at Total Wine in Cedar Hill. If I’m not available my husband definitely is! Currently my husband works at Total Wine & More in Cedar Hill. When I / we stay in your home I will most likely be there all day! Rover is my full time job so whatever care your baby needs I’ll make sure to be on top of it! Most bookings I would like to keep my husband with me wherever I am (just for safety reasons), BUT if you’re not comfortable with that I TOTALLY understand and I’m more than willing to stay without my husband!! I want to do whatever makes YOU AND YOUR BABIES safe, happy and comfortable!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Palmer on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 3,246 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Palmer choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Palmer with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
