About: Hey guys! I’m an Army Veteran with 20 years of dog care experience. I have two dogs myself and trained my Cane Corso puppy to be a Service Dog. I understand that our dogs are our family. I am very friendly and accommodating and I will do anything I can to take good care of your pets. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can provide excellent service to you and your pets! I am currently in school and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can accommodate any schedule and facilitate whatever you or your pet needs. I am very dependable and trustworthy. Whether I have your pets in my home or yours, you will receive adequate communication and pictures so you can rest easy knowing that your pet is in good hands. Your pet will be treated as if they were my own.
“We felt comfortable with Nadia from the initial meet and greet to care for our dog and cat and entrusted her to house sit while we were out of town. She took great care of our pets and made their time away from us a great experience for them as well. We would definitely recommend her to watch your pets and house so your time away is worry free.”

“Michelle has been so awesome while my fiancé and I have been staying in Tuscaloosa, AL on an assignment for work. She has come through when we have needed to go away for a few days or just when our schedules are super busy and we need help with the dog. She’s great and sends lots of pictures!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.
“Lanae was great! She was super friendly and our pup really liked her. She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. We will definitely book her again next time we need a sitter.”


About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 8 years old, ranging from Pitbulls to Doodles. I have experience with training puppies and older dogs, as well as caring for doggies when they’re sick. As a therapist with a flexible schedule, I can fit plenty of time to caring for your pets! I am available at most times during the week, and accommodate changes when needed! When staying at your house, I treat your home with care, keep the space clean, and respect all household rules! Pets will never be left unattended and I will be under consistent supervision, along with potty breaks, walks, and fun play time! For walks, I avoid high traffic areas and avoid pavement during hot weather. I have access to emergency vet contact information and reliable transportation.
About: With 25 years of experience caring for dogs, I know they're not just pets, they're family! What sets me apart is the love, patience, and personal attention I give every dog in my care. I take the time to understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing together, I treat every dog like my own. My goal is simple: a happy, well-cared-for pup and complete peace of mind for you while you're away! My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, allowing me to give your pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship while making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for! We live in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood on a spacious one-acre property with a fenced yard. Your pet will enjoy a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of room to play and feel right at home!
“This was our second time leaving the dogs with Inaya! I appreciated her proactive communication and timeliness coming over to the house! The dogs seemed well cared for”
“We had a great experience with Allyson watching our two dogs for a week! She was very responsive throughout the stay and was proactive in bringing up that our one dog may be getting an ear infection. She was more than willing to help with a couple of house chores as well. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! Thank you, Allyson!”


“Sara is wonderful! Easy to communicate with, sent me plenty of pictures that showed not only that my baby was doing well, but that she was being her normal self and doing her normal routines. If your pet is your family you can trust Sara will treat them that way!”

“Our pets were well taken care of and we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away on vacation! We came home to happy pets and a clean well cared for home. Thank you so much Ariel!”

“Hannah was excellent with my my 4 pets. She showed each of them love snd handled a tough situation gracefully when my dogs misbehaved. My home was just as I left it. I would definitely rebook with her 😊”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, from playful puppies to senior pets. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m experienced with different breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. Currently work remotely half of the month, services can be provided on a daily after 2pm. Can visit homes if needed to support fur babies. I’m comfortable crating pets if needed and can accommodate feeding schedules, medications, or special routines. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with three years of experience working as a veterinary receptionist, primarily in emergency veterinary settings. Working in veterinary medicine has given me a unique appreciation for animals, their individual personalities, and the importance of recognizing when something isn't quite right. Outside of work, I've been a proud dog mom for eight years and am also a very proud cat mom to two adopted kitties! Two of my cats were actually bottle babies that I raised from just three days old, so I've had my fair share of sleepless nights and tiny kitten responsibilities! I'm comfortable with basic animal handling, following medication instructions, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or a little more on the independent side, I'll do my best to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home! I have a flexible schedule and I'm happy to coordinate to make sure each baby receives consistent care and plenty of attention while they're away. Weekends included! I think getting to know each pet individually is one of the most important parts of providing great care. Before anything else, I want to learn about their personality, daily routines, favorite activities, and little quirks! I'd love to know when they enjoy going for walks, what toys they love, how they like to play, and even what might make them nervous or uncomfortable. Every pet is different, and I want to tailor their care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I'll follow your instructions closely, respect their boundaries, keep their environment safe, and send plenty of updates and pictures so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away!
About: Very particular about who takes care of your pup, huh? Look no further! Whether it’s a million photos a day, a raw food diet, poop reports, or scheduled tummy rubs, I’m here to fulfill both you and your pet’s needs, down to the very detail. As a dog mom myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone who isn’t as obsessed with them as you are. But with me, your pup will be safe, sound, and spoiled, while you remain at ease. 🙂 I work from home full time, and have an extremely flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week to meet you and your pet’s needs, including on weekends! When your pet is in my care, you can anticipate: • Potty breaks every 2-3 hours. • 2-3 walks for fresh air and stick hunting. • Play time! • Cuddles and tummy rubs! • Snack time (can be structured around training) • Car rides + Visits to parks and nature trails.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Palmetto is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmetto
I had such a great experience! From the moment we met, she was kind, reliable, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. She kept me updated with photos and messages, followed our dogs’ routine, and made sure they felt comfortable and loved while I was away. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and a clean home, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Palmetto is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $88 per night. 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.

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 Palmetto 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 Palmetto 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 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!
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 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.
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
- 94% 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.
