“Alexia was wonderful with our dog, Milo! He was a little nervous at first, but she was so patient and gave him the time he needed to warm up to her. She provided drop-in visits, sent detailed updates and plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was professional, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Milo was comfortable and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Alexia for all of our future dog-sitting needs. Highly recommend! 🐾”

About: I grew up on 27 acres and we always had dogs. I have helped taken care of many breeds of dogs and I have a lot of experience potty training them. I will give them the love and care like they are my own. I work a PT job on Sunday and Monday, but I am available for the rest of the week for whatever needs that your fur baby requires. I have a fenced in yard in the back. I do have a crate available if needed. My dogs love other dogs and cats. I live on a dead end street and I walk my dogs down stacks road where there is not a lot of heavy traffic. Safety is of importance when it comes to all fur babies! 🐾🐾🐾

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve house sat and cared for dogs in their own homes, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m very active with my own dog and go to the dog park daily, so I’m confident handling playful, energetic dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I prioritize safety, consistency, and giving every pet the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to give your pets lots of time and attention. I do have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 2pm, but I’m available before and after, as well as all day on other days. I’m usually home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, including trips to the dog park for exercise and socialization. I live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex with a large dog park available for safe play and exercise. I take pets out for regular potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours and make sure they stay on a consistent routine. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize their safety, whether that means supervising playtime, following feeding schedules, or crating if requested by the owner.

About: I have a lot of experience with pets, I currently have two small Yorkies at home. They get along with other dogs great, they mostly keep to themselves and both are potty trained. I can pick-up/drop off if needed early or late, and my backyard is fenced and kind of big but not too big. I have a lot of free time since it’s summer and I’m out of college till fall. Frequent walks or runs would be great if your dog is very active. I live in a quite neighborhood near a few parks and walking trails, I try to go running when ever I can. I have dog sat dogs many times and only one cat, no breed preferences. Can provide daily exercise.

“As always Hilary is professional, kind, considerate and comforting when I have to leave my furbies behind while I travel until I return. This was the first time I’ve ever done drop in visits and was nervous leaving the kitties by themsvles but she took very good care of them while calming my separation anxieties. She’s awesome, five stars every time!”

About: 🐾 About Me: A Calm, Patient Sanctuary for Your Fur Babies Hi, I’m Noelle! I’m a proud cat mom to two wonderful fur babies, and caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy. One of my cats was actually a 4-week-old stray kitten that I successfully nursed and cared for, and watching her grow into the happy, healthy cat she is today has been incredibly rewarding. I also absolutely love dogs! I have experience walking dogs as large as a Pit Bull, including my aunt’s sweet Pit Bull, Zion, who I loved taking on walks. Whether I’m giving a dog a good walk, keeping a cat company, or simply sitting nearby while they do their own thing, I love being able to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. One of my favorite things to do with my own cats is sit on the balcony with them (safely on their leashes, of course!) and watch their curious little minds take in the world around them. 🌟 Specializing in Shy, Anxious, or Senior Care I’m very attentive to the animals in my care and tend to notice the little things—from changes in behavior and body language to their individual cues, comfort levels, and boundaries. I believe every pet has their own personality and deserves patience, respect, affection, and care tailored specifically to them. Because of this, I excel with pets who need a little extra time, gentleness, or understanding to feel secure: • Timid Kittens & Selective Cats: As a cat parent who has handled everything from bottle-baby stages to adult dynamics, I speak their language fluently and am completely comfortable letting a shy cat set the pace. • Anxious or Senior Pups: I hold a naturally quiet, steady frequency that is incredibly reassuring to older dogs or pets navigating physical vulnerabilities (like vision or hearing changes) who thrive on a predictable, soothing routine rather than high-energy chaos. 🏡 What I Offer Whether it’s dropping in for quiet companionship, sticking to precise feeding schedules, or managing house-sitting stays, I bring a reliable, observant, and respectful eye to your home. I naturally drop into a calm rhythm that keeps your environment peaceful and your pets completely relaxed. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets that same level of deep attention and care while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday- Friday from 8am - 4:30pm. I’d be happy to check on your fur babies after I get off of work. I work from home about 2-3 days per week as well! I am willing to sit with your cat or dog while I work some days if you ever needed. When it comes to caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. At home, I’m very intentional about creating a calm, comfortable, and secure environment for my own cats. I keep a close eye on them, pay attention to their routines and surroundings, and make sure they have a safe space where they can relax and be themselves. I’m also very mindful of doors, windows, food, household hazards, and anything else that could potentially put a pet at risk. Most importantly, I respect each animal’s individual boundaries and never force interaction when they’re uncomfortable. I’ll bring that same level of attentiveness and care to your pets—following your instructions, maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only being watched, but genuinely looked after.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and truly love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two rescue dogs of my own who are very much part of our family. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can't be there. I am dependable, responsible, and will treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I am happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, lots of attention, and photo updates so you can feel comfortable while you're away. I currently work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with attention, playtime, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. I am also available for evening and weekend care. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and will do my best to follow the schedule they are used to while you are away. I have a fully fenced yard and two large rescue dogs of my own who are indoor dogs and very much part of our family. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my priority. I will follow your instructions for feeding, routines, medications, walks, and any special needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will respect both your home and your pet's normal routine. I am also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur babies are being well cared for.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Palmer

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palmer is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $25 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 October 2026, there are 3,320 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 .

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 , 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:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
