About: We are Carlos and Liliana, a married couple with a lifelong connection to pets. We both grew up on family farms, surrounded by dogs, cats, horses and other animals, so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. Our beloved dog, Chispita, was part of our family for 14 years, giving us experience caring for a dog throughout the different stages of her life. We have also regularly cared for our children’s cats in New York and New Orleans, including administering daily medication when needed. More recently, through house and pet sitting, we have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and routines, including a household with two Huskies and four cats for three weeks. We understand that every pet is different and take the time to follow their established feeding, walking, medication and companionship routines carefully. We are both architects and university professors, responsible, organized and attentive to detail. When caring for pets in their own home, we also treat the home with the same care and respect we give our own. We are currently in a flexible stage of our professional lives, which gives us plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in our care. Since we are a couple, we can coordinate our schedules so pets receive plenty of companionship and are rarely left alone for long periods. We carefully follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in their own home, our priority is to maintain the environment and routine they already know. We carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors, gates, and any special needs. We are attentive to changes in behavior and keep owners informed while they are away. As experienced HomeExchange, Airbnb, and TrustedHousesitters users, we are also very respectful of our clients’ homes, privacy, and belongings.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind since I was 10 but have lived with dogs my 33 years. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving attention to their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am a proud dog mom. PLEASE NOTE: For house sitting, I do need to bring my Pomeranian with me. If you are comfortable with this, please continue with your booking request. If not, please do not request house sitting. Thank you! I work remotely, which allows me the flexibility to house sit and give your pets plenty of attention and care while you’re away for work, vacation, travel, or emergencies. I’m a total homebody and love having furry company around! When house sitting, I’m able to spend lots of time with your pets, keep them on their normal routine, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

I’m an adult woman whose honest and reliable, you can trust me in your home and with your fur children.

About: I've had dogs of my own since I was little and grew up on a farm, where carign for animals was part of my daily life.

About: (just reactivated my account in 2026, new to Miami) I have volunteered and trained 3+ yrs in professional wildlife animal and rescue care. 14+yrs of raising my scrappy little Chihuahua, Cloe. 2+yrs with our rescue , Pongo. Attention to detail for each animal in my care. I prefer to be SMOTHERED in dog kisses. All dogs are allowed on the couch, bed, or any area in the house. Comfortable with simple grooming.

I am comfortable grooming, brushing, bathing, administering medication, or tending to a dog on their old age . I believe that attention to detail and a warm heart are my greatest strengths. My apt is attached to a "bark park" for daily exercise. All doggys have free roam of my house. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and in bed for snuggles. I live to love all animals like Steve Irwin.

“I highly recommend this pet sitter and trainer. With a college education in canine and feline care, she provides much more than basic pet sitting. Every interaction is used to encourage good behavior and discourage unwanted habits. Dog walks become valuable training opportunities, and drop-in visits include both mental and physical enrichment. Her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication help create a positive, structured environment where pets can thrive.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmetto Estates
Angie provided the most professional, caring and responsible service I could have asked for. This was my first time having someone come take care of my dogs at home and it made my trip go so much more smooth. She kept me updated with the cutest pictures and was so kind to leave my house very clean when she left. I will be definetly be booking again with her.
Samantha was great. This is the first time we have left our 3 in door /out door cats with someone they did not know. She was wonderful with them, gave extra attention to one that is a bit skittish made sure she was eating and comfortable and with in 3 days that cat was allowing her to pet and felt safe. She gave us daily pictures, kept the cats in their routine and house and cats were perfect when we returned. Highly recommend and we will definitely be booking Samantha again.
I have to admit I was super nervous leaving my boys for 2 weeks, especially with my cat having congestive heart failure but Ruth was wonderful and followed instructions, came back to our home and the boys looking great. Thank you Ruth, I will be rebooking you again.

I highly recommend Karla to watch your fur babies! She’s so sweet and very attentive. She did such an amazing job staying with my 3 dogs. I felt so at ease with them being under her care while I was away traveling. She stayed in touch with me, sent updates, and photos which I greatly appreciate. Thank you Karla!!!
Kevin and Manon were so very easy with which to work. We needed a very flexible departure and arrival back home and Kevin was able to accommodate our needs. Pictures daily and both Phoebe and Lucy were well cared for. Our home was left in great condition and the trash was even emptied when we arrived home. We will definitely be calling again for their help.
This is the second time she’s helped us out and it honestly feels amazing leaving our dogs with someone we trust completely. We never worry about them for a second. If anything, I almost feel guilty because we trust her so much that we literally forget we even own dogs… at least I do 😂 She’s the best and we couldn’t recommend her more.
Stephanie was an outstanding sitter for our dog and cat during our two-week trip. She sent frequent photo and video updates. She quickly mastered their routines and won over our cat who ended up seeking her out for cuddles at night. She went above and beyond coordinating a delivery with our landlord, and leaving the house clean. Our dog was relaxed and happy the entire time, and the cat was clearly loved. We came home to two very content pets and total peace of mind. We highly recommend Stephanie! 🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Palmetto Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Palmetto Estates is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $60 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,926 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palmetto Estates. 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 Estates 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 Estates 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 Estates 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
