“Ingrid was super reliable and great with our babies. The photos and videos were so nice to get! It made our trip so much more stress free knowing our girls were happy and well cared for.”
“Grace is fantastic! She is professional, caring, and very easy to work with. Our dogs loved her and we felt confident leaving them alone in her care. I highly recommend Grace!”
“Emalie did a great job! She was very friendly, communicative and sent pictures with updates. She gave Kodiak so much love and attention & made our trip very stress free. I would definitely book with her again 😊”
“Katelynn is a sweet and thoughtful sitter! She was very respectful of finding ways to help with our homecoming. She kept us informed and updated photos very well. Katelynn has a gift with animals and is missed at our home.”
“Eleanor was great: communicative, responsible, and good with our boys (obviously a kind person with big dog experience). She came over for a meet and greet prior to the sit and showed up early day of for the pass off. She was also neat and respectful of our home, even washing the sheets and remaking the bed prior to departing!”
“We've booked with Morgan a few times now and we're really happy every time we do. She makes sure the house is exactly like we left it, clean and well taken care of, and our little puppy girl is loved and cared for while we're gone. She's super easy going and communicates just the right amount. Morgan makes it so easy for us to take a trip when our pup can't go.”
“Sara did an amazing job watching Sierra and Scarlet! She kept them active with walks and play, and she left our house in great shape. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy sitter.”
“Ardelia was amazing with Bella! She was incredibly communicative throughout my trip and kept me updated with the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well- cared-for pup, and it was clear Bella was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Ardelia again. Highly recommend!”
“Had a wonderful experience with Silvia. It was our first time using her to watch our dogs. She had great communication and made us feel very comfortable. She came by and met the dogs before the official day. She updated us during our trip and sent photos. Would highly recommend and will be using again.”
“Leeah was amazing with our dog Coco. Coco requires a lot of love, attention, and play and Leeah was so good at providing that for our girl. Leeah was communicative, very respectful of our home, and arguably left it cleaner than we left her with it! Thanks again!! We will have her back anytime 😄”
About: I’ve loved and been obsessed with animals of all different kinds for as long as I can remember. I grew up around lots of dogs and have always felt so at home with them. I also have experience with cats, goats, horses, reptiles, amphibians, you name it! I grew up going to camps with farm animals and had friends with llamas and horses and I always enjoyed helping them. As a kid I would take care of neighbors or my friends dogs or cats when they needed it. I have a very deep love for animals and being able to turn that passion into a job has been really special for me. I run my own business from home so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m happy to visit your pets whenever is best for you. I love taking pictures and will gladly send you video and picture updates! I love tending to each pets needs and finding what works best for them. Whether that’s playing and getting them really tired or providing them company, I want your pets to be as happy and comfortable as possible. I will treat your pet as if it were my own and hopefully I can provide you with some peace of mind while you’re away 😊 I’m available for early mornings, mid day, or evening visits. Weekdays and weekends. I have a very active life style and enjoy being outside. My love of animals and being outdoors go hand in hand and it works perfectly for me. I really love getting down and dirty and keeping your pet(s) happy and healthy I’m very adaptable to fit what works best for each pet parent. I can feed and replace water bowls, play, run around in the backyard with them, scoop poop, give medication, give love and pets, or simply just company. I can also work on training and go on walks
“Jessica was great, very communicative sending daily updates and pix. Our cat can be high maintenance and Jessica tried many things while reading the room on how our cat was feeling for the day.”
“Booked Steve again because he is simply THE BEST. He is so communicative and patient with my puppy. He gives her so much exercise and cuddles and leaves the house tidy. My mind is always at ease when he’s over. Thank you Steve!!”
About: I have cared for and trained dogs since I was a child. Most of my life has been shared with cherished companion animals. I have experience with all ages of pets and understand the needs of each phase of their lives. I have experience with various types of special needs animals and have adopted and cared for dogs who have had challenges being adopted due to reactivity, allergies, epilepsy, special medical needs including injections, and age. I am a working performer in the greater Seattle area. My days are often free, with most performances and rehearsals happening in the evenings. I’m generally a home body who prefers a quiet environment that facilitates practice, reading, and rehearsing. I’m a non drinker/substance user who doesn’t partake in any nightlife or party lifestyle. I try as much as possible to plan my day around the needs of the animals that I’m caring for, knowing how important a consistent schedule is for their wellbeing.
About: Hi! I'm Shirley, a passionate animal lover who believes every walk should be an adventure. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, extra sniffing time, or plenty of belly rubs, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and excited to get to know your furry family member. I can't wait to meet your best friend and become their new favorite walking buddy! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. They won't be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you're away. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, along with plenty of playtime, attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and at home. For drop-in visits or care in your home, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need during each visit. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, lots of love and attention, and, of course, plenty of cuddles if they enjoy them. I'll also follow any specific instructions you provide and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Kayleigh was great about sending daily photos and responded quickly to any communication. It’s clear that she loves animals and that our pets were very well-taken care of. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her pet sit for us again!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmer
Paeyton was the quickest to respond to our in-home dog-sitting request and was professional, responsive, and attentive from the start. She communicated consistently before our trip and scheduled a meet-and-greet right away, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, our home was in better condition than when we left, and our dog was happy and well cared for. She even went above and beyond by tending to our dog’s injured foot, which was almost completely healed when we returned. She also did some unexpected touch-up cleaning, including the dishes, which we greatly appreciated. A few more detailed check-ins including photos or videos while we were away may have been nice, but overall, we had an excellent experience. We highly recommend Paeyton to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible sitter for their furry baby. We would absolutely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Palmer walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Palmer maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
