About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life, and with a lifetime experience of caring for pets, I know how much your pet means to you. It’s not just sitting, it’s also about love, play, and genuine care from someone who’s been surrounded by animals her whole life. Your dog or cat deserves to feel at home, even when you’re away. I have big fenced backyard for dogs to run around in and a park right across from my house so I can give them walks. I am a teen volunteer for Grady once a week from 8am-12pm, and from there I have the rest of the day free to care of your pet. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for them to play. I’m experienced with crates and I do own some if needed. Also, safety is my top priority, and I always follow your pet’s needs and preferences to keep them comfortable, happy, and secure.

About: Hi, I’m Tia! As a lifelong animal lover, a mom, and a proud pet parent to three fur babies of my own, I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your four-legged family member in someone else's care. That’s why my promise to you is simple: I will treat your pet exactly like my own. I am incredibly blessed to live on over a full acre of land, giving your dog plenty of room to safely run, explore, and play to their heart's content. With over 10 years of experience as both a pet owner and a dedicated dog sitter, I am well-versed in managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pup wants to spend the day fetching in the big backyard or curling up on the couch for some family snuggle time, they’ll find a safe, loving, and attentive environment here. I work from home with a flexible working schedule. I am an early birds, and I love to get out and about taking walks with my kids and just spending time as a family. I typically like to meet your animals energy needs where they are. I have two dogs both super sweet and friendly. One senior and one middle aged. Both of girls will gladly keep your pups company and play with them. Or give them space as needed. It's definitely an adjustment coming to a new home even for a few days so we give your animals space if needed or time to adjust.
About: I have had animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. My mother has worked for Rover for years and I wanted to start getting my own income and decided to try it. I feel comfortable with both cats and dogs and I am confident to pet sit and dog walk as well. I have one of my own dogs and I walk him 3-5 miles every day. I have a lot of experience dog walking because my dog used to be an extremely tough puller and he was crazy. I would love to get to know your furry friend and spend some time with them. I am confident in pet sitting and take care of pets while owners are out of town.
“Austin is a life saver. We have two dogs, one who is very nervous and protective and even had a biting incident. This made it very difficult for us to go on vacations since finding a sitter would be difficult. We reached out to Austin, explained the situation, and asked if he could come by every couple of weeks for the dog to get used to him, and he said he'd be happy to help us. The plan worked and, after several visits, we were able to go on a five day vacation! Austin cared for the dogs each day, showed up on time, sent pictures and notes, and even said he and the dog had bonded by the end! We recommend and will definitely use Austin in the future.”

“Kate was great with my senior dog checking on her 3 times a day during our family vacation. This was my first experience with Rover and I appreciated each of the visit summaries along with the photos. Kate gave my old girl lots of pats and time to freely roam outside. She also brought in the mail and the dumpster from the street as well as checking and watering the plants on my porch. I would definitely consider using Rover again and Kate especially!”

About: I love animals in general. I had a fish, a rabbit, and a guinea pig, but my dog and my cat are the ones that I am closest to. I love to play with them, dogs and cats are so funny when they are in play mode! I'm currently available early mornings and evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Only early mornings on Tuesdays. My weekends are pretty much open on both days, I can adjust as needed. I always make sure that they have enough water first, and food depending on the instructions. Quick health check by observing them and making sure everything is good, and that they are feeling and looking their normal selves :-)
“Sebastian took exceptional care of my three Rottweilers while I was away. He is fantastic with large breeds and handled all three of my babies with patience, confidence, and genuine care. He administered medications with ease, cleaned up after accidents without hesitation, and made sure they were happy and well cared for. One of the things I appreciated most was the daily pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. It’s not easy finding someone you can trust with large dogs, but Sebastian exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and knowledgeable pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with him again!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: Hello! My name is Aja. I grew up with 3 dogs and have always felt having a dog in the home was one of the best parts of my childhood. I love the energy and love a dog brings to the home. I am very tuned into dogs and and their needs. I have a quite, safe, home and neighborhood. My 5 year old daughter and I are looking to offer part time care for a loving small dog. We would LOVE to care for your dog in our home. I work in the TV and Film industry so due to traveling once every 6-8 weeks I can only offer part time care however my availability when I am in town is fully open! I live in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. I am very attuned to a dog's needs. I have a large backyard however it is not fenced so being on a leash when going outside is needed. Your dog will have free range to roam and play around my 4 bedroom ranch home. One of the rooms in the house is designated to our visiting dog in case they need some quiet time or sleep time. I am a single mom so feel assured it is just myself and my daughter in the home. Your dog will get a lot of attention, be fully supervised in a calm quiet environment.
“Jason was great with our very active puppy. Reliable and communicative, Jasen helps us manage her energy with drop in visits multiple times a day. We would recommend Jasen to others!”

About: With a decade of experience working with dogs, I am well-versed in providing exceptional care and attention. Being home 90% of the day has made me the most reliable caregiver in my circle for pets. No pet is "too much to handle" for me. I have two dogs of my own who are my world, so welcoming additional pets temporarily is never an issue. I look forward to meeting your fur babies and creating lasting memories with them. Thank you in advance! My daily routine revolves around caring for my two dogs, keeping me busy with exercise and attention. However, there is always plenty of attention to go around. As an outdoor enthusiast, I ensure daily walks are part of our routine. My property features a secure fenced area and a variety of engaging activities to keep your dogs entertained and happy. Your pets will be under my constant supervision. All pets boarded overnight will be crated in a secure indoor room. For animal-reactive pets, I ensure separate walks and isolation from other animals to maintain a safe environment for all.

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.
