“Kathi is so wonderful!! She checked-in on my two cats and was so great about giving me updates. She played with them and sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her for her kindness and thoughtfulness!”
“We needed a last minute pet sitter and Joyann was able to take us last minute. She was highly responsive and communicative, and took great care with our fur babies, we were very lucky to find her!”
“EXTRAORDINARY!!! I cannot recommend this pet sitter highly enough. She followed every instruction perfectly and showed an incredible level of compassion, kindness, and attention to detail. What stood out most was how genuinely invested she was in making sure the dog was cared for and comfortable. She even went above and beyond by providing food from her own supply to ensure the dog's needs were met. Her thoughtfulness, reliability, and love for animals were evident in every interaction. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing the dog was in such caring hands.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as helping friends and family with their pets. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets and those needing oral medications. I'm currently expanding my knowledge through coursework in canine behavior and enrichment, which has strengthened my understanding of dog body language and stress signals. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I provide patient, attentive care and regular photo updates to help you feel connected while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return. I currently work full-time during the weekdays, so I'm available before work, after work, evenings, overnight, and most weekends. I strive to be flexible whenever possible and will always communicate my schedule clearly so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any household rules you'd like me to follow. I'll supervise outdoor time, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible. I'll also send regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have been a dedicated dog owner since I was 4 years old, and I currently share my home with a high-energy German Shepherd. Having a large breed has given me hands-on experience with all dog sizes and personalities. I’m not just a sitter; I truly enjoy the training process and understand the importance of structure and mental stimulation for a happy pup. Whether your dog needs a long, disciplined walk or some extra help practicing their 'sit' and 'stay,' I’m happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience and care I give my own, ensuring they feel safe and tired out by the time you get home! I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. I can easily work around your specific timing requirements, whether that means midday walks, early morning check-ins, or being available for last-minute requests. My goal is to provide a consistent routine for your dog that fits perfectly into your lifestyle. Safety is my top priority. When walking your dog, I am always vigilant of our surroundings and keep them on a secure leash at all times. If we are in your home, I ensure all doors and gates are double-checked. I have a German Shepherd of my own, so I am very comfortable handling large, powerful breeds and ensuring they stay calm and safe in public spaces.
About: I have years of professional veterinary experience working with animals, I am dog/cat CPR certified, and I have my own personal experience raising and training animals. I work full time doing dog/cat sitting so any job I get I will definitely make the time for, and I will be willing to dedicate my time to any job. I ensure that the pets are happy and always well taken care of, whether they need water, food, attention, toys, etc. I make sure they have it and are well taken care of.
“Rubi is very kind and respectful. She is very good with my 2 pups and they really enjoy her. She takes her responsibilities seriously and sends plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her. I have already rebooked her😀”
“I was happy with our decision in choosing Pauline to take care of our 3 cats. She sent us updates and pictures of them and always checked in to see if we needed anything before she left. It’s hard having to leave your pets alone for a while but having her check in on them made me feel better about it all. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for next time :)”

Kathi has watched my cats and dogs several times now and I am so happy with how she takes care of everyone (and so are they)! Kathi truly loves animals and goes above and beyond; not only does she let me know if there are any minor issues, she immediately takes care of it. When I know she is watching them I can completely relax and enjoy my vacation! Thanks again Kathi!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palmview is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $20 per visit. 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 217 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palmview. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
