“Thank you to Ellyse for sending such cute photos during her visits. They were much appreciated. She is very caring, comfortable with administering medications and prompt with her responses. I would be comfortable using her services again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of dogs for over 10 years. I have a very friendly German Shorthair Pointer who loves to play! I’ve trained many puppies who have all grown up to be well-balanced dogs. The last 8 years I have worked as a special education teacher and recently took a role at an outdoor school working part time. This change has freed up my afternoons and I would love to fill that time helping families take care of their animals! My husband works from home and I work part-time as a preschool teacher with plenty of time to play/walk/watch your dogs! We are free on the weekends, too. We love dogs of all ages and sizes. We already take care of our very friendly 4 year old dog so adding more dogs to the schedule is no problem! Ozzy is high energy but the friendliest dog! He loves all dogs, cats, and kids. He is happy to play and run but is also happy to leave other dogs alone if they don’t want to play with him. He is not pushy or aggressive at all. No resource guarding troubles or problems sharing toys or water bowls. I have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run and play outside. A very friendly GSP to help socialize or burn energy. I am comfortable crating your dog if that’s part of their routine and comfortable feeding and administering medicine as well. Our day is structured to not only meet Ozzy’s (GSP) needs but maintain behavioral expectations as well. To ensure safety, when other dogs visit, I constantly watch their interactions to ensure good behavior/social skills and will intervene to administer breaks or corrections when necessary. The house has ample room to separate dogs if needed.
“Tammy was prompt and took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town. She sent us several pictures of our cat which put our minds at ease. I will definitely be booking with her when the need arises. ?”
“I had Lindsay take care of my cat for the second time, and she truly went above and beyond. Despite a power outage, she came in, found a blanket, and set up a cozy bed for my cat. I deeply appreciate her willingness to show up under challenging circumstances and ensure my cat was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommended for her dedication and care!”
About: I have taken care of pets for the last ten years plus. We have had birds, mice, snakes, dogs, cats. I love them all. Any care you need, let me know. I take care of house plants and any other small chores you need while you are gone. I am currently recovering from a soccer injury and I am available 24/7. I start college back in September and then will be able to just do weekends but now I am free for you. I love pets, I will double check all issues and make sure they are cared for and loved.Food, sleep, walks, you got it all. Sensitive and anxious dogs are welcome.
About: I have experience watching many different types of dogs and cats. I have fostered a puppy as well as dog sat for many different breeds and ages. I grew up with cats and have also cared for many different personalities! I love animals and am so happy to help look after yours!

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs growing up and have worked with a variety of ages from puppies to elderly. I have 2 years of experience volunteering as a veterinary shadow intern and have confidence to providing for the needs of cats and dogs of all personalities. As a recent college graduate I have flexibility and time to reliably work as needed to provide care for pets. My schedule allows me to prioritize their routines, whether it’s daily visits or last minute bookings. I prefer to adapt approach to pets according to their needs, whether it’s calm and non confronting to shy cats or running with younger dogs. I also like to continue their routines that they are comfortable with. For owners, I keep regular updates as wanted to keep peace of mind.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience raising my own golden retriever, who is now seven months old. I’ve personally taught her everything she knows—from basic commands to leash manners and good social skills—and she’s already a very well-behaved dog. This experience has given me a lot of patience and understanding of the consistency puppies need to thrive. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors, and always pay close attention to each pet’s unique routines and personalities. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, keeping an energetic puppy engaged, or providing a calm environment for an older dog, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work in healthcare, so I usually only work 2 to 3 times a week, and during the time that I work. My boyfriend is usually at the house! So there’s always somebody here! I have a fence yard, as well as a big space! And the clients home, I will do my best to maintain their rules, as well as routine for the pet sake, as well as for my sake!!
About: I’ve grown up with at least one pet in the house. In the past I’ve watched over dogs with lots of medical care and also puppies as well. Im currently working a part-time job so i have lots of free time. My hours are all over the place sometimes, however i never work past 6pm I will treat them like on of my own. I can throw the bal with them, walk them around the neighborhood and give them all the belly rubs!

“Jaz was dependable and our dog loved her! She came to visit and take care of our dog twice a day for 4 days while we were out of town. Our family will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hello! I love puppies and dogs 🐶 I've grown up with dogs my whole life, so I know the basics of a healthy dog lifestyle. I would love to stay or walk your pets sometime 🙌🏼 I work Monday -Friday but I can take the dog out on my lunch break :) I will make sure your dog gets the love it deserves and get taken care of properly. I don't have any pets at the moment, and my apartment is gated with sidewalks so your pet will be safe! I make sure my house is super clean before your dog arrives :)
About: I've had dogs my whole life. One of mine is 14 years old and takes a lot to care for because of her bad back. I also have experience with puppies. I have a seven month old puppy and have been working on training her. I am currently a student in college at Osu and looking to go on long walks and meet some cute puppies in my free time I have lots of property but my dogs do not allow others over. For safety I can use a crate or have the dog on a leash
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 15 years old. Over the years, multiple family members have trusted me to care for their dogs, which gave me the opportunity to learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In 2020, my mom and I welcomed our beautiful Goldendoodle into our family, and caring for her has brought me so much joy. I’ve also spent years helping care for my sister’s small Mini Poodle. I’m very comfortable with both high energy dogs and smaller, more laid-back pups. I understand that every dog is different and that some dogs need extra patience, attention, exercise, reassurance, and support. I’m comfortable keeping up with energetic dogs and making sure they receive the care, love, and attention they need. Most importantly, I believe patience is key. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I currently work full time, but pet care fits well into my routine. I’m primarily available Friday evenings and weekends, with occasional Thursday availability. Spending time with pups brings me joy and helps me recharge, and I take pride in getting to know each pet and their family. I’m very attentive to each pet and make sure their individual needs, routines, and comfort come first. I live in a spacious condo with an unfenced grassy area, and there are several parks close to my home, making it easy to get outside for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’ll always provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where your pup can feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
“Jordan was excellent! He was very accommodating and understanding when it came to how it was best to take care of our dogs. He communicated very well before, during, and after the drop in. Would highly recommend Jordan!”
“Skylar checked in on our pup while we were out of town. She was very candid about asking questions (i.e: it’s going to be snowing, should I close the doggy door? Etc...) which I really appreciated. We could tell our little girl was being well taken care of in our absence. We’d recommend her for sure!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 7,169 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 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
