“I would definitely recommend Kaitlyn to anyone! She was a great dog sitter and did very well with Charlie. She has a natural, gentle way with dogs. She was prompt, personable and professional. I would absolutely hire her again and so should you! !”


“Samantha was absolutely wonderful looking after my dog, Micha. She was incredibly attentive and took her on long walks, which Micha absolutely loved. She also provided plenty of care, affection, and attention every single time she came to the house to pick her up. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing Micha was in such great hands. I will definitely use her services again!”


“Azucena (Zu) took such great care of Titi over the weekend! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Titi was in good hands. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and showed so much love and attention to Titi, especially important since she’s a senior dog. We could tell Titi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Zu went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated her communication and kindness. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. Thank you so much, Zu! ❤️”

“Amanda was amazing! She was extremely communicative with us and our pup Murphy had a great time with her. Amanda was very respectful of our space when staying at the house and adhered to Murphys schedule. We would recommend Amanda to anyone!”

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I've cared for puppies, kittens, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, lizards, monkeys, and other exotic and domestic animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, administer basic care, and provide companionship for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive and reliable care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work nearby Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and am home most weekends. Depending on your pet's needs and temperament, I may be able to bring well-socialized dogs with me to work, allowing for additional companionship, supervision, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I can also return home during lunch breaks when needed for feedings, medication administration, exercise, or extra attention. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, air-conditioned, and located in a quiet townhouse community with limited traffic, a single entrance and exit, and only a few residential buildings. We have a fenced patio, a dedicated pet walking area nearby, and a large sliding glass door that provides natural light and outdoor views while allowing pets to remain comfortably indoors. Unless otherwise requested by the owner, pets will be kept safely indoors at all times. Outdoor walks, potty breaks, playtime, and patio access will always be provided according to your preferences and your pet's individual needs. I understand that every pet has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, and I am committed to following your care instructions exactly as requested. For added security, my home has keypad entry access, and pets are never given unsupervised access to bedrooms, helping maintain a safe and controlled environment. Fresh filtered water is always available if preferred. I share my home with my 11-year-old son, who has been raised around animals and understands the importance of treating every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. We both genuinely love animals and work together to provide a calm, caring, and welcoming environment where pets feel like part of the family.

I treat every animal with kindness, love, and respect, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m available most afternoons after 5pm and weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playtime, and loving care while their owners are away. 🐾🐱 I’m happy to provide loving and dependable care in your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, attention, and keeping their space clean and comfortable.

“I just really appreciate Marcela. Someone I trust and I will definitely call on her again. A beautiful person. I got updates the entire time I was gone. I welcome Marcela into our lives and hope to see her soon.”

About: I have been a passionate pet owner all my life, with years of experience caring for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends. Additionally, I have worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter, ensuring every dog receives attentive care, daily exercise, and lots of love. I am currently a student working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to take care of your pets. Because of my schedule, I have a lot of free time during the day to devote full attention to your dog, provide frequent potty breaks, and take them on nice, long walks. "I have a spacious, fully fenced yard where dogs can play safely. Whether hosting in my home or sitting at yours, I prioritize safety above all. I keep a clean environment, strictly follow all your routine instructions, and make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and safe at all times
“Alana was wonderful with our baby Kaya. She sent photos, updates and was quick to answer any questions we had. She was able to give our dog her medicine, and took her for her regular walks. We came home to a spotless home, and a happy dog. We look forward to having Alana come back soon, without hesitation. Thank you Alana!”


About: I’ve been doing doggie sitting for approximately a decade and officially on Rover since 2021. Our teens love dogs but at this stage in our life I (mom) is not willing to get us a pet- we have lots of love to give but we want to maintain our flexibility for travel. This is what makes Rover and excellent fit for us! I am a nurse who works until approximately 3p and I alternate hospital/home work environment. Our high school aged kiddos love nothing more than coming home to play and show your doggie lots of love! We exercise every afternoon- we are a triathlete family and love staying active, thus walking and playing outdoors with your pup would be an utter joy for us. We have a single family home with fenced in spacious back yard for your pup to explore. Front yard as well and healthy and active gated community with a park/playground near by which we frequently walk to and play in. We can and will implement any needs for your pet to make him feel right at home. We have old-ish laminate flooring and we certainly dont mind the occasional accidents that come with pets exploring and adjusting to new environments. We can adjust to almost any per routine due to our flexible work schedules. We want this time apart to be as seamless as possible for your pup and his/her family. I do not currently have any pets in our home and thus our attention and care will be fully on your pup. Siblings are always welcomed together of course!
About: As an RN with over 11 years of experience, I understand the importance of being dependable, attentive, and compassionate. Those same qualities guide the care I provide for every dog and cat. I’m also a devoted dog mom to a senior Min Pin named Canela. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I have firsthand experience caring for dogs with complex medical needs, administering oral and topical medications, monitoring recovery after surgery, and recognizing subtle changes in a dog’s condition or behavior. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a drop-in visit for potty breaks, playtime, meals, fresh water, or medication, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your companion is well cared for. At this time, I primarily offer dog walking and drop-in visits so I can continue caring for Canela. I also offer limited boarding for one guest dog at a time in a calm home environment. Pet care is already part of my daily routine as a devoted dog mom to my senior Min Pin, Canela. I structure my schedule around caring for her first each day, which allows me to provide dependable dog walking and drop-in visits Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and weekends from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This routine helps me give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. During drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also make sure your home is respected and secure by following any instructions you provide, such as locking doors, bringing in packages, or adjusting lights if requested. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.

About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my entire life and have a genuine love for all pets. While growing up in Peru, I rescued numerous abandoned dogs and cats, helping them recover by providing care, food, and lots of affection until they regained their health. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and paying close attention to the individual needs of each animal. Since moving to the United States, I have cared for two dogs and one cat, providing them with a life filled with love, comfort, and attention. My most recent dog had a disability and required daily medication, a special diet, and additional care. Through this experience, I learned the importance of maintaining routines, administering medications properly, and being attentive to any special needs a pet may have. I strive to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I am responsible, caring, and highly observant of their physical and emotional needs. My priority is to ensure that your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding, ensuring that they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, and daily routines. I maintain a clean, safe, and calm environment, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they have fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection so they feel comfortable and happy.
“I can’t say great enough things about Arienna. My dog absolutely loved her and she sent me tons of pictures while I was away. I would trust her any day with my pet and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.”

About: I’ve worked in the vet field for ten years and have owned dogs for the same amount of time. I am in love with my doggies and I treat them like my own children. I extend the same passion and love when I take care of other people’s babies, because I know how dear and important they are to our lives. I can administer medications for special need dogs and/or whichever other special instruction is needed. I have three full days off in the week, where I am available all day. The rest of the days, I am available before 10am and after 7pm. I have a fenced yard, and have a designated room for the dogs (filled with toys, pee pads, crates). Although they can roam around the house, it is never unsupervised.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or extra cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I provide loving, in-home care for pets in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, regular meals, playtime, and rest, just like they would at home. I treat every pet as part of the family and focus on keeping them happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I have petsitted a few times in Nicaragua, but the service was never as popular. I currently have a ten year old cocker spaniel named Leia, who you can see in my picture. I’m a proud dog friend and an aspiring cat friend as I haven’t had much experience with cats. However, I love animals (as long as they are not insects). I am one to pay close attention to pet body language, and I will make sure to provide the most comfort and love to your furbaby 💕 I’m currently working part-time so I will be super happy to fit any pet care into my schedule. I’m very punctual will petsit for you on friday and weekends, when you usually want to go out and enjoy human time ✨ I’m happy to provide any tools and help you acquire items for your pet. If you need me to pet-shop too, I will! I also have a car of my own, so there is no end to dog parks we can visit. I will go and stay at your home as much as you need in order to care for your pet. Everybody at home adores pets.
About: I've been a dog lover since I was born. I've participated in adoption and rescue campaigns for vulnerable puppies, understanding the needs of each one and respecting their routines. My intention is always to make them feel loved and cared for. I welcome shy, playful, and expert heart-stealing puppies. I recently moved to Miami and I have a part-time job, which allows me to dedicate myself to my true passion, which is caring for animals. I currently live in an apartment with private park areas and have transportation available to get around. I can also care for the pet at the owner's home for the pet's greater comfort.
About: I have fostered dogs all throughout college. I recently adopted a dog that I previously fostered. I am good with helping anxious dogs socialize and feel comfortable with other dogs as well as people. I will take your dog to parks and help them with any medical needs - I have experience in that too! I am comfortable with both house sitting as well as pet boarding. I am willing to be flexible with scheduling and pricing depending on the days requested and distance needed to be traveled. I also have a good relationship with my local veterinarian and will be able to provide emergency care for your pet if needed. I want you and your pet to be happy and at peace when you they are under my care. I am currently working from home, so I can dedicate time and attention to all your pet's needs! I enjoy taking frequent breaks to take care of my mental and physical health and will be able to do the same for you pets :) I have a fenced backyard for safety. Additionally, plenty of dog beds and toys for your pet's comfort. I am also a very vigilant dog walker due to my own dog being anxious around other dogs. I will make sure that your dog's safety is always my priority.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmetto Bay
Samantha was absolutely wonderful looking after my dog, Micha. She was incredibly attentive and took her on long walks, which Micha absolutely loved. She also provided plenty of care, affection, and attention every single time she came to the house to pick her up. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing Micha was in such great hands. I will definitely use her services again!

It's safe to say that Alize is the best dog sitter we've ever had! She is so caring, responsible, provides pictures, great communication, and is so great with our dog. She watched our German Shepherd for 7 nights and my mind was at ease that our dog was in good hands the whole time. She is respectful and cared for our dog and home as if they were her own - I trust her completely! We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be using Alize in the future!

Anelys is an complete and total treasure and deserves as much business as she can handle!! Although this was our first time using her, she made certain to make our dog, Charlie, feel completely at home in hers. She was extremely open with her communication, sending periodic pictures to us during each day. She is an absolute joy! I truly wish I could give her 10 stars!

FAQs for House Sitting - Palmetto Bay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palmetto Bay on Rover is $44.38 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,998 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palmetto Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Bay 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 Bay 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 Bay 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palmetto Bay. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
