“Lakaya was great watching our older dog Caspian! She sent us plenty of updates which put us at ease knowing our dog was well taken care of. At the end of our trip our flight back home was delayed by a day. Fortunately Lakaya’s schedule was open and she was able to watch our dog for another day while we couldn’t be home. We didn’t have to worry about Caspian for our whole trip!”
“Anna was great. My cats seemed to be very comfortable with her. Even my scardey cat Luna. It was nice to know they had company and were being fed. I would definitely hire Anna again. The house was clean when we got home and the cats were happy to see us. Anna spoiled them perfectly! Thanks Anna!”
“Kim did so well with our 4 fur babies. Dealing with one on medication and one with itchy skin. The cat like her so much she is giving me the cold shoulder after she left. I also appreciated the updates and pictures. We will definitely have her back for the next time we have to leave the “kids” at home.”
About: I’ve watched a variety of dogs, from small chihuahuas to large Great Danes! I love walking dogs and getting them the movement they need, a tired dog is a happy one! I also love cats and chickens :) I am a college student looking to help when I can! I miss caring for my animals back at home so helping others really floats my boat! I like to abide by the preferences of the owner since everyone’s care looks different, I can crate your dog if you like and take them on long walks so they are more at ease
“Talia was communicative, very responsive, sent photos throughout the day and left the house looking exactly as we left it for her overnight pet sitting. She did a great job!”
“Gracie did a great job with our elderly dog who gets meds. Got regular updates and house was tidy when we returned home. We’ll be reaching out again next time we’re looking for a dog sitter!”
“Liz was great and was in constant communication throughout the stay with Maverick. She was available for a next-day visit. We would highly recommend Liz for house sitting pets!”
“Chrissy was amazing. She’s great with communication, sending updates with pictures and our pets adored her! We decided last minute to leave a day earlier than planned to get ahead of a winter storm and she was very flexible in making that possible. She had to deal with terrible weather conditions and made sure we knew our pets were being well taken care of. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”
“Leah was a wonderful sitter for our boys. She asked the right questions ahead of time and kept great communication throughout the stay. She sent amazing photos and videos that looked professional, and we came home to a spotless house. The yard was clean, the plants that needed watering were taken care of, and she even brought our garbage to the curb. Leah went above and beyond, and we will definitely hope she is available the next time we need a sitter for our dogs.”
About: Hi my names Eva, I have lived with dogs my entire life (mainly German Shepherds). I regularly go hiking, and I walk at least 4 miles everyday. I worked at a pet store for 3 years, and am dedicated to giving pets the best care possible. I am currently going to college, and I have a part time job. In between classes and on days I have off I will be able to stop by to take care of your pets and walk them. I can come over to let dogs out to go to the bathroom, feed them, simple check in, and walk them. I am dedicated to fitting you and your pets needs.
“Mara was great! She kept us informed; the dogs really liked her, she was good at communicating, and spent a lot of time with our pups. They clearly liked her and were very balanced, and not upset with our leaving, when we returned.”
About: Many pets do well with a set schedule and I am someone who thrives on routine. My ability to stick to a schedule while maintaining fun engagement creates quality care. Im currently working part time and a part time college student. I always have monday and wednesdays off and every other weekend. Other days/nights I likely will be available to sit. Send me a message and we can discuss more! In my home every morning I clean my cats litter box, apply his medication, clean his water bowl and give him his wet and dry food. My cat is leash trained so we go on walks outside frequently. If there is any mess from my pets or clients pets I promptly clean it up as I think a clean environment promotes a happy animal.
“Rachel was amazing! I loved the updates she sent us and it was very clear that she took great care of our dogs. We will absolutely ask Rachel to housesit for our boys again in the future.”
About: Hello, my name is Aiden and in 23. I have always enjoyed caring for all kinds of animals, being their comfort, as well as building loving connection. I have looked after family/friend's pets in the past. I also have experience with all types of temperaments, anxious, shy, behavioral, no problem!! I can’t remember a single time in my life where I haven’t had a furry companion by my side! I can handle any dog or cat, big or small, high energy, low energy, shy/timid, behavioral, easy going, etc. I never stop learning things about animals so you can be rest assured knowing a reliable person is looking after your pets, & treating them as if they are my own! I’m available all day on the weekends for walks, house sitting or check ins. On weekdays I’m available on Tuesdays after 1pm, all day Wednesdays & am available on Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays after 6:30pm:) I strive to ensure the safest & most comfortable environment possible. Whatever it is your pet may need in order to feel safe & comfortable I will do! On walks your dog will always be kept on their leash to ensure their safety, as well as the safety of any other animals or humans we encounter while out & about. While in your home your pet will never be left unattended, & will never be bored because I will provide as much stimulation for them as possible.

FAQs for House Sitting - Palmers
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 151 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palmers. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Palmers 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 Palmers 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.
Tip: 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 Palmers 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
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.
