“Love Rachael! I used Rachael for the first time these last few days for drop in visits for my two (50lb) dogs. For part of it I was out of town which always makes me nervous with my fur babies. Rachael is a fantastic communicator, great with the pups and overall I was so comfortable and happy knowing they were in her hands! Will most definitely use her again! Highly recommend.”
About: I enjoy dogs. I like to watch them, play with them and give them belly rubs. i enjoy their company and having them nuzzle my hand for head rubs. I am retired, so I am available to give time and care to animals in my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy playing with dogs, getting them to "sing" and rewarding with healthy treats. I have a fairly large fenced yard. My home is open concept, so aside from private spaces, I can see and interact with dogs. I have two dogs, a dachshund and a mixed pekingese/terrier. Both are spayed with up to date vaccinations.

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 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.

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.

About: I started caring for pets in school by looking after classmates pets and later helping neighbors. I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have four French Bulldogs who are like my sons. I love treating pets as family, celebrating their lives, and including them in my daily routine whenever possible. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on vacation, which allows me to have a flexible schedule to play with, walk, and fully care for your pet. I am available from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, both weekdays and weekends. I provide reliable and attentive care in the client’s home. I always follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I give them exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and relaxed.
About: I provide more than basic pet sitting—I deliver structured, attentive care tailored to each dog’s developmental stage and temperament. With experience supporting both puppies and senior dogs, I implement consistent routines that reinforce positive behavior, reduce anxiety, and maintain overall well-being. I use positive reinforcement to teach puppies fundamental skills like leash manners, crate acclimation, and simple commands. For senior dogs, I prioritize comfort, medication adherence, mobility support, and low-stress environments. I am currently working in a school setting; I leave for work around 7 am and get home around 5 pm. I don't work weekends or summers. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe, and well-supervised space with consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Dogs are never left unattended for extended periods, and I carefully manage introductions to ensure compatibility and reduce stress. I follow each pet’s established schedule to create a calm, familiar environment.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about sixteen. I would go to the clients house walk their dog, and feed and care for it upon the clients request. I’m currently working a full- time job , but I enjoy caring for animals so much I thought why not pick it up as a side gig. I care for my mom’s dog every now and then when they go away for a long time. I tend to check on the dog prior to going to work then right after work and again around 9 or 10. On weekends I try to check on the dog a little bit more so she doesn’t have any accidents. I tend to care for pets in a clients home by dropping by before it is time to care for their fur- baby and understanding where everything is and exactly what they would like me to do.
About: Avid Rover user turned sitter. I enjoy being able to use my genuine love for animals and experience to provide proper care, exercise, fun-activities, and company. I have had animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life and am sure I can suit any special need or situation your fur baby may have. At 17 I began training animals, mostly dogs. However, I have also worked with cats, horses and other pets like rabbits, snakes, etc. I have turned my Ranch style home with a double wide fenced yard into a calming doggie sanctuary. The air controlled sunroom and living areas are theirs to explore and relax. Fitted with multiple bedding and sleeping areas indoors and a wading pool and sun beds outdoors, this space is truly a pet paradise. We also work with a certified groomer who provides a wide variety of services during house visits per owner request at an additional charge. Packages and groomer portfolio upon request. I hope you consider me to care for your little loved one and I look forward to becoming your best friend's new best friend. My husband and I usually work from home so there will always be someone with your little ones. Potty breaks are every 2 hours and pups will get at least 2 hours outside a day weather permitting. I will always treat your pet as if it were my own. There's no limit to what I'll do to make sure your pet feels safe and at home. I'll also keep you updated on their status while here with me via photo, video etc. Caring for animals is a part of my daily routine as it is. We were able to find a perfect space that could accommodate as many pups as we’d like! When they’re with us. They’re a part of the family and they live our homesteading routine. As I said, I treat every pet as if it were my own. I have a true love and respect for animals. I ask that owners send their pet with a bed or blanket, toy, or treats that will make them feel at home. I want every owner and pet to be comfortable during their stay with us.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmetto
Summer did an amazing job taking care of my 2 cats while I was out of town for 4 days doing drop-in-visits four times a day. She sent me pictures, videos, and answered any questions I sent her throughout the visits. This was my first time using a sitter service, and I’ll definitely be a return Rover customer requesting Summer’s services.

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.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
