“! Brooke did an excellent job walking and feeding my dog! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my pup was well cared for. Communication was a breeze. Btooke responded quickly to texts and kept me updated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: I love dogs! I have had dogs my whole life & have cared for so many over the years. We currently have a 9 year old corgi/lab and a 4 year old Aussie doodle at home. I am a nurse full time, so hanging out with dogs makes my off days so much better! I work night shift, so am available throughout the day when needed usually. My schedule is very flexible and the nights I work change every week In my home, my dogs own the house haha just kidding. My dogs have a very relaxed, free lifestyle they live. I will care for the pets of others like my own, but will follow requests of the owner!
“Stephanie & Elizabeth were AMAZING! Loved their pet updates and definitely felt like my kitties were well taken care of. Will be booking again whenever I need someone!”
“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 have had cats and dogs my entire life, I currently have two dogs and have volunteered in shelters! I also have been in the grooming career and I couldn’t imagine my life without animals i have two dogs who are completely different so every walk is completely different to them, ive always enjoyed spending time with my animals and think the best moments are with our furry friends i myself have a reactive and hyper dog, i can care for dogs that might need a little more tlc or extra patience and would love to spend time with all kinds of personalities within your pets.
“Madison is great, it was a last min booking and she accommodated it with no issues. She came the same day to do a meet and greet and she listened to everything. Will book again thank you again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family dog from puppy age to senior age for 14 years and have also dog sat for friends. I enjoy playing with dogs and accompanying them for any time that is needed! Recently relocated to Florida and currently looking for a job so I have plenty of time to fit any needs for dog sitting and dog walking! My availability is any time in the morning and before 5pm every Tuesday through Saturday. Can drive to client’s home for dog sitting and walking and if client needs overnight dog sitting, will be willing to stay if needed.
“Adrienne has been a lifeline for me. With my schedule at work and personal life constantly changing she is always readily available to come look after my pup. She sends pictures and is always in communication with me which puts my mind at ease leaving. 10/10 would highly recommend!!!!”
About: I grew up with a variety of pets. As a kid we had cows, horses, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs, as well as many more. I am in school working on my prerequisites for a Veterinary Sciences degree, so you can be sure that your best friend will be in the best care available!😁 I work full time from around 9am-5pm and can work outside of those hours, I wake up around 5am every day so I can be with your pet early and late. I am available for overnight appointments as well. Generally for pet sitting, before I go to work I’ll feed your animals, take them on a walk and prepare for when I’m gone, when I get off work around 2-3pm, I’ll come back and take them out for a run or play with them, and stay with them for a while for some cuddles or just for company. For drop ins I can do 3 per day, one at around 5am, one at 3pm, and one at 9pm. For walks my schedules the same. I have a blue Doberman and Shepard/Cane Corso mix so I can be comfortable around every breed no problem. I love hanging out with animals and having some playtime or going on runs with them. If they aren’t that social I can still let them outside and just be there as company for them while I do my schoolwork.
About: Hello! My name is Andrea and I am a full-time student alongside working part-time as an EMT. During my downtime, I study, organize my days and spend time with my animals. They are my absolute pride and joy, the best friend you could ask for! I have always loved dogs, and have had animals since I was five years old. I used to pet sit for neighbors before I moved away to college and really enjoyed it! I also volunteered at Nate's Honor Animal Rescue, which is located in Bradenton. I enjoy growing and learning more and more about different animals as I become more experienced on this app! I am looking forward to taking care of your fur babies with the same love and care you provide for them!
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors/friends dogs and senior dogs, which also includes time to ease owners worries. My goal is to provide home care away. I currently lost my job of 21 years and have always wanted to work, take care of animals. No children & lots of love to provide I have a large, fenced in yard. My dog loves to play with other dogs & my cat watches oh so closely. They love it.
About: I have been an animal lover all my life. I have had my doberman since she was a puppy; I potty trained her and have been through many levels of training. I have experience with difficult dogs and have the patience to walk all types. I have experience administering medication and have dealt with a dog going through heartworm treatment. I love all dogs and am excited to give you the peace of mind while you are away at work that your dog is being taken care of. I am currently starting my own business, so as of now my schedule is very open to take care of your furry friend as needed. I will ensure your pet is given your desired schedule for activity, medication, food, play, etc. Should I take your dog in at my apartment, I have a dog park on property and plenty of grass to walk them around. Should it be at your home, I have no issue abiding by your dogs daily routines and the regular rules of the home!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmetto
Mykeirah was amazing! Prompt, caring, proactive. It was my first time using rover for a sitter and she certainly set the bar. Kept the cat areas very clean and tidy, made sure they were played with fed, and even left them a little gift. I’m so grateful for her. Thanks Mykeirah! Will hire her again
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 5,650 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
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.
