About: I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, goats, dogs and cats, and chickens. I’ve worked in horse barns, done dog sitting, and have experience with many different breeds. I love walking, and I’m looking to help out those in need of dog walking & other services. I’m reliable and trustworthy. I’m currently at home for the summer in between jobs, so I have a very open calendar. Looking to fill my schedule with some new furry friends, including drop-in visits, walks, pet daycare/boarding, etc. I have a nice sized back yard (not fenced currently) and large neighborhood for walking! I have one senior indoor cat in the home. My home is around 2000 sq ft, quiet, with plenty of room to set up pet beds for overnight boarding.

About: I've never not had a dog my whole life and have owned many cats, too. I'm a retired teacher and between my husband and I, someone will always be home with your pet. I've sadly lost beloved pets so I have experience from puppies to senior dogs. I love long walks but have a fenced yard too. I am off for the summer and when I go back to teaching I work 7-3. My husband is home during those times though. We are available for boarding all days, including all weekends. I have a fenced yard with a dog door from the lanai but I truly enjoy walking dogs. If your dog uses a crate, you can bring that. I have two small dogs but have had larger dogs in the past. They are both friendly to other dogs and they have dog beds they love but I'm fine with them hopping on the couch. Our neighborhood has a dog park too if your dog loves to run!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have spent the last few years caring for close friends’ dogs and cats. I truly love animals and enjoy giving them lots of attention, walks, and care. I’m happy to look after dogs of all breeds and sizes, making sure they’re fed, exercised, and feel safe, loved, and comfortable—just like they would at home. My special skills include professional belly rubs and treat giver. I work part-time, so I’m pretty flexible during the weekdays for walks, visits, and feedings. On weekends I work eight-hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday, so I’m available early in the morning or later at night. I’m always happy to coordinate schedules to make sure your pet is well taken care of. Whether it’s my own dog or yours, there will always be long walks, playtime, and lots of belly rubs. My dog loves chasing his tennis ball and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very used to keeping pups active and happy. Whatever your dog loves to do, I’ll make sure they get plenty of fun, care, and attention.

“cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Hannah, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. 🐾 I work from home part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me very flexible availability for drop-ins, walks, and boarding. I’m home often throughout the day, so your pup will get plenty of attention, care, and company while they’re with me! I have a dog of my own who is extremely friendly with other dogs. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and loves having new friends around. I’m happy to provide vaccination records if requested. I also have a 4-month-old baby, so for boarding in my home, I can only accept dogs who are comfortable around both other dogs and young children. Your pet’s safety and comfort—as well as my family’s—is always my priority. For walks and drop-in visits, my baby may occasionally come along with me in the stroller. If you would prefer that I visit or walk your pup without my baby, just let me know when booking and we can discuss what works best! I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll treat your animals with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. ❤️ I work from home part time and create my own schedule so it’s very flexible! I am home all throughout the day. If i do step out, it’s only 1-2 hours at most. I can do drop ins and walks same day requests ! Also available on weekends/ holidays. I live in a home with a fence that has locks and I also have plenty of leashes. I will make sure your pup is safe at all times! My dogs Maya and Hunter are very comfortable with other dogs and both service dogs. We foster often as well. My dogs are both vaccinated and Maya my female husky/shepard is spayed.

About: I have had a dog my entire life, which has prepared me in becoming comfortable with any and all dog breeds. I began pet sitting/dog walking as a job at the age of 14. I’ve worked with small, medium, and large dogs. I work part time at home, so I have an open schedule most of the day. I love to be outside, so walking, and spending time with pets is something I thoroughly enjoy. I ensure that boundaries are always met and respected depending on each client and dogs needs. I am dependable, and a hard worker. Most importantly, I will make it my number 1 priority to keep your dog happy, safe and well taken care while in my care.

About: I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, I always had at least two dogs in the house with me. My parents always instilled never ending love for the family pets into me and nothing make me more comfortable than a furry friend by my side. I also spent some time working for a dog boarding facility in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. While loving every minute of it, I would like to pursue that feeling again by working for Rover and taking excellent care of your furry friend. I work full-time at a local high school as a coach. My schedule is open in various slots in the day for dog care, and my job allows me to take care of any tasks I need to throughout the day as long as my work is not affected. I am usually off work by 5:30 pm and live just minutes away from work. I also do not work on weekends, so those days are full of opportunity. In your home, I will make sure the pets are safe and getting as much love, attention, and playtime as they deserve! When on walks, I will ensure they are a safe distance from vehicles and that they are cleaned up after.

He gets unlimited hay, greens, and a couple treats daily. He runs around inside the house from time to time, but likes to relax under my bed. - I have friends and family whom have dogs and cats that I have taken care of over the years. - Personality-wise: my friends and family would say I am very loving, caring, and bubbly so I will show that same love to every pet I meet and care for. Currently, I am a part time WFH accountant. I work 20 hours a week, that includes working one day in person on Thursdays 1-5pm. When I am home, I have the ability the take your pet for a walk or monitor them outside in the fenced backyard. I can bring my laptop/phone around to do work on the go too. We have a fenced-in backyard where your pet can roam around. I will have my bunny around in the house, but I can keep him in a separate room to roam around, if need be. I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

Where do I begin ? Lola is truly a wonderful dog walker. She is always on time, incredibly dedicated, and genuinely cares about my dog’s well-being. She’s flexible, helpful, and consistently makes sure my dog is safe, loved, and in a clean, comfortable environment. Having Lola has been such a relief—especially during emergencies when I can’t get home in time. Knowing my dog is treated like family gives me total peace of mind. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Lola, and I would recommend her to anyone who loves their dog like a family member. Thank you LOLA YOU ARE AMAZING

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Palmetto

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Palmetto is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 5,461 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Palmetto. 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.

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 Palmetto 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 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.

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 Palmetto 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 Palmetto. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
