“Awesome cat sitter! Indika was great; she came to our home consistently and sent great pictures. I could tell my cats were in great hands. Will book again when we leave town. Our cats really liked her! Thank you!”
“Bailey is so awesome. She is very communicative and I always have peace of mind knowing she’s checking on my boy while I’m at work. She takes lots of pictures and always updates me on potty breaks. She goes above and beyond. 10/10 recommend booking with Bailey!”
About: I offer a safe and fun place for your dog(s) to visit while you’re away. No meet and greets are required if I can accommodate your booking request, however, if you prefer to have a meet and greet prior to making a booking for boarding, I ask that you please book a drop-in visit so that I can get to know your pup 😊 I have always had a dog growing up. Your pupster will be in loving hands with our family! Traveling? I have weekends available. If you need weekday service let’s talk to see if I can accommodate you and your pup! We’re a pretty active family and the pups are generally free to roam. I have a fenced backyard and my neighborhood has plenty of sidewalk space. Your pup will be loved on by me, my 6 year old, and our pup from the moment they enter our home. Don’t be alarmed if your pup is spoiled by the time you pick them up :-)
About: My name is Abby, I’m a loving dog & cat carer, I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child and I grew up around all sorts of animals my whole life. Your little (or big) babies will have the time of their life with me! Running, walks, treats, and fun is what’s on the list with me! I look forward to meeting and having fun with your babies! Please let me know of any special requests or animal behavior that is necessary! Pet care fits very naturally into my current routine since I have open availability during the day. I structure my day around responsibilities like walks, feeding schedules, and check-ins to make sure pets get consistent attention and care. I provide pet care in the client’s home and always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, and attention according to instructions. I also prioritize safety by securing doors, using leashes for walks, and keeping a close eye on the pet at all times. I treat every home with respect and leave things as I found them.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From iguanas and hamsters to cats and dogs, I’ve cared for just about every kind of furry, scaled, and whiskered companion along the way 🐾 I’ve especially spent most of my life caring for dogs, so understanding their personalities, routines, and needs comes naturally to me. I currently have a 14 year old dog who is truly my pride and joy, and caring for her has only deepened my love and patience for animals. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, affection, and care I give my own. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll be genuinely loved 🤍 I work full time (9-5) but in the evenings and Weekends I am free(: so any needs you may have please don’t hesitate to reach out. 😌 Well I’m sure since I can’t provide my own home, that you the owner will let me know any safety hazards or things I would need to know before anything
About: I'm an Arkansas native, raised on a farm with 5 dogs, 5 cats, and lots of other farm animals! Recently, my biggest source of pet care experience is raising and caring for my pit bull, Odin, over the last 6 years. He's my best friend and honestly my whole world! Through caring for him every day, I've learned how important patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and routine are for a happy pet. I've also occasionally looked after the pets of friends and family, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship when they've needed an extra hand. I've always loved animals and tend to connect with them quickly. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, or just have a calm companion around, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I recently moved to Florida from Arkansas and am excited to meet pets and pet owners in my new community. Right now, pet sitting is my primary focus, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for daytime, evening, weekday, and weekend bookings. As I settle into the area and eventually take on other work, my availability may become more limited, but for now I'm happy to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Every pet is different, so I always try to follow the owner's routine and preferences as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, plenty of attention, and any care you've requested. For dogs, I can provide walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I'm patient, attentive, and always pay close attention to a pet's comfort level and body language. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you're away.
“Great first puppy sitting experience with Amanda. She took great care of our 2 dogs and they came home a bit sad to leave. We were very happy with her and she was very accommodating of our weird trip schedule. We will definitely use her again soon! Thanks, Amanda!”
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. I started showing animals at my county fair when I was 9 years old. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life until I moved to Florida this year to live with and help take care of my grandpa. It would be a blessing to find some new animal friends to love on! I am currently working full time the the Lido Beach Resort as the Front Office Supervisor. My schedule is 3 PM to 11 PM so my mornings are free. If needed, I am also more than happy to swing by after my shift to walk/check on pets. I am unable to board pets at my house at this time, but I do not take going into other homes lightly. It is an honor that I treat with the utmost respect.
“Mikaila was very professional, and followed all instructions regarding dropping in on my two cats. It was my first time using rover, and I am pleased with the service. I would definitely recommend Mikaila for pet/house sitting for anyone.”
“My puppy, Miss Daisy, met Jennifer today. She has separation anxiety and is only 10 months old. I had no worries leaving my home and found her in great spirits upon my return. She paid extra attention to her with a couple of walks and lots of cuddling, too. Thanks, Jennifer, you will hear from me soon!”
About: I volunteered at the Humane Society and have experience caring for animals in my own home. I have also helped lost and stray animals by reuniting them with their owners or finding them loving new homes. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Its a blessing to have a soft heart for animals since a little girl My availability is very open & flexible as i am currently doing online school studying Int Arch with a passion to love and provide a safe space for all pets. I am part of the worship team therefore unavailable on, Sunday 9AM-3PM, Tuesday & Thursdays 7-11PM. I provide personalized care based on each pet's individual needs and routine. My priority is making sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I will keep your pet fed, provide fresh water, offer plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any special instructions you provide. I have two dogs with opposite personalities, so chances are your pup will find a friend they feel comfortable around! Introductions would always be done carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe- i also have an extra room available if any pet needs their own quiet space or a slow introduction. My cats are independent and enjoy sunbathing outside. Throughout the day, they come inside to eat, sleep, and play. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, your pet's comfort and safety will always come first.

Kaitlyn has cared for my dog and cat through both check-ins and overnight stays, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She is reliable, punctual, communicative, and always provides great updates and photos that give me peace of mind while I’m away. She’s also been able to help on short notice, which I greatly appreciate. Her kindness and genuine care for my pets truly set her apart. I highly recommend her!
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

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Palmetto stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
