“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”
“I cannot begin to say enough about Debra. From the second that our boy Rhody met her, he was completely attached to her. She told me that she loves senior dogs, but you can just tell she truly loves ALL creatures, young and old, big and small. I cannot stand leaving Rhody, but I was completely comfortable leaving our baby in her care. She assured us that he would be well taken care of, and loved on and he definitely was. He takes many different vitamins & medications and she followed my every neurotic note to a T, lol. She provided pictures and sent texts and answered calls, and made us feel completely comfortable. I cannot express the gratitude I have, she’s an amazing human being & lover of animals. We feel so very blessed to have found her.”
“I highly recommend Kashmir! She took great care of our 3 kitties. She even took time to allow one of my cats to drink from the sink, since he's so picky about the water bowls. She was also great about keeping in touch and giving updates/pictures, which gave us a great peace of mind. I've already booked her for our next trip out of town!”
About: i’ve taken care of dogs/ cats since i was preteen, but the last 5 years is when i’ve began doing it more frequently. i’ve cared for medically needy animals aswell so i am very comfortable with pretty much any need an animal may have. i’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have helped train and care for family pets aswell. i help take care of my dads animals, walking and running his dog. i currently am free 7 days a week aside from one online course that i do at my own pace. i follow the clients directions specially when walking or letting an animal out. i never let a dog out alone especially smaller dogs at night.
“I couldn't be happier with the care Pablo provided for Coqui, Buchi, and Vera while I was away for a week! Leaving three pets can be stressful, but Pablo made the entire experience completely worry-free. He was incredibly reliable with feeding schedules and daily walks, and he kept me updated with regular photos and notes throughout the trip. What impressed me most was his attentiveness and responsibility—one of my dogs is diabetic and requires specific medication, and Pablo handled it seamlessly and with great care. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I highly recommend Pablo to anyone looking for a compassionate, trustworthy, and detail-oriented pet sitter!”
About: I am a middle school math teacher for Lee County Schools! I work Monday-Friday, but have weekends free! I have been on Rover for about 4 year now! I really enjoy dog and cat sitting as a side job! I’m open to stay over night if needed. That’s why my house sitting rate is $40. My rate for not staying over night is $30. I do a lot of dog and cat sitting off of this app. So I have a lot more experience than what’s is on this app. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have about scheduling. I’ll be happy to discuss anything with you. It will be a great experience for all of us. Including our furry friends! I look forward to working with you and your pets! Thank you in advance! I am available after school and on weekends. I have a pretty steady and reliable schedule, so it’s easy to plan ahead and make adjustments. As I’m typing this, my cat is rubbing his face on my phone. I’d say my cat at home is pretty happy and spoiled. I think a really important part of pet care is having some sort of schedule, and being sure to put in time to give your pet attention.
“David provided house sitting care for my dog. He sent pictures and texts every day to give me the piece of mind I needed. Mollie was in good hands and I would highly recommend. He is just starting out and needs to get some repeat customers. I will be hiring him again.”
About: All I’ve ever known is having compassion and love for animals! I grew up with all kinds of fur babies including reptiles, critters, cats and my three legged dog Tootie. They are family, so I get how much reassurance means knowing your pet can be checked on during chaotic or busy lives! I’m thankful to have the opportunity to help care for others furry friends! I currently have clients through other work I do and have stayed in house to be with their dog and I really enjoy it! I’m very happy to help! I’m currently working part time and would love nothing more than to fill the extra time with some smiles, excitement and exercise! I’m very active and like to stay busy, so I’m open to same day requests and available Monday-Friday during the mornings/day. Open to some evenings and weekends depending on my schedule at the time! I’m open to variety! Whether that’s cuddling the fur babies, being outside to enjoy the sun and fresh air or needing a quick walk and back to the crate!
“Taylor was great watching over our dog Calvin. She sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a dog sitter, and we hope to use her again in the future.”
“Barry did a GREAT job of taking care of our two Doxies ! They were as happy as they could be when we got home. (They told us they really like Mr Barry and he can come over anytime)”
About: 🐾 About Me – Your Pet’s New Best Friend! Hi! I’m a passionate and reliable pet sitter with 12 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! ❤️ I have experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, puppies, big breeds, and small breeds. I’ve also fostered dogs, which has given me even more experience understanding animals’ individual needs and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a proud pet parent myself, I have two Pit Bulls, two cats, and two Chihuahuas, so I know firsthand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs! I’m also experienced in administering medications to dogs and making sure they receive the proper care and attention they deserve. I offer flexible pet-sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, last-minute bookings when available, and overnight stays in your home. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, extra playtime, medication, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would with family. 🐶🐱🐰 Your pets aren’t just pets — they’re family, and I’ll treat them like my own! 🐾💕 I am available full time Monday-Saturday. I can provide overnight sitting, checking in in cats, having cats over my house to watch them as well:) I have a set schedule depending on your schedule when your pet needs to be feed or checked on, we are at my house or your house.
“Edward took care of Lolli extremely well! He is very respectful and responsive to check ins during his stay. No issues whatsoever and would recommend and would love to have Edward back!!”
“Christelle was wonderful! As a worrier, she put my mind at ease by providing updates and pictures throughout the day. All my animals were happy when we returned! Thank you!”
About: If you're looking for someone who will genuinely enjoy taking care of your pet and not simply "watch them"-youve found her!!!!! I have over 15 years of experience caring for all animals, and I absolutely love their company. I work from home only a few hours a week so your fur babies will get lots of attention and have all their needs met! I have a very calm and cozy home with no one home but myself. A fenced in large yard where they can safely play sunbathe and sniff around comfortable. I have a medical background so am comfortable administering meds.and caring for their extra need or needing a consistent routine. Every fur baby is different an I will adapt to each of their needs. My goal is treat all fur babies big or small young or old as if they were part of my family...loved and cared for. I recently moved to the SWFL area from Cali. No children or spouse, just myself in the home. I work from home only a few hours a week so I can provide all the attention, care and needs for you and your pet. I have a home with a large fenced yard. Currently have zero pets at home so they will have all the attention. I am able to follow whatever routine that you have for your fur baby.
About: I’ve baby sat many pets in my neighborhood growing up, I love spending time with animals of any kind! They make me so happy :) I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician and work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care. I love taking walks at Linear Park and spending time at Bonita Dog Beach with my senior pup. She is extremely friendly and absolutely loves the company of other cats and dogs, so your furry friend will have a welcoming companion during their stay! I’m available for house sitting, boarding in my home, or dog walks—whatever works best for you and your pet. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a pet friendly apartment. There is also a dog park and dog spa on the property! I I can ensure your pet will get plenty of exercise on our walk and there’s plenty of beautiful things to explore!
About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.
“Kathy was a great sitter for my dogs and cat. My cat was very comfortable with her- which is unusual… he normally dislikes everyone. My dogs were well cared for and she sent lots of picts and updates!”
“I had the best experience possible with Miriam. She walked my dog took her to the beach, sent many pictures and videos. And some adorable Instagram posts! She houser for my dog for almost two weeks during the holidays. My house was in perfect condition when I returned and I could tell how happy my big chocolate Labrador baby was while she was cared for by Mariam. I will definitely call on her again to walk or care for my dog and my home!! Thank you so very much Miriam.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Palmona Park is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmona Park
Katherine was great! We did a meet and greet before the date. She was warm and friendly and clearly not bothered by our crazy dogs. She asked a lot of appropriate questions demonstrating she was very knowledgeable and professional. She communicated with us during our trip and sent some pics and videos of the boys too. She was able to keep a scared pittie calm during a storm and entertain a very high energy lab all day long! She even washed her blanket and towels, vacuumed and cleaned the dog slobber off the sliding glass doors before we got home! We’d choose Katherine again without hesitation.
Lindsey did an amazing job caring for Rae and Austin over the holiday weekend. The pets were incredibly well cared for, the house was spotless when we returned, and she shared plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay which gave us great peace of mind. Coming home to such happy pets made all the difference. We truly appreciated her care, communication, and attention to detail, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Jess was a great sitter! She was on time, very responsive, and sent regular updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Communication was easy and I felt totally comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and having an amazing time. Would absolutely book again.

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 Palmona Park 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 Palmona Park 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 Palmona Park 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.
