So incredibly thankful for the kindness and care given to a cat that doesn’t like anyone. You must have great energy that she even came out to say hello! And the kindness towards the strays that I feed. So grateful. 💕

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I started driving and love to walk and interact with them. I care for the pets like they would be my own. I am very friendly and open to any type of pet and how they interact with people and adjust to their style. I’m currently in college and play soccer full time. I’m home for the summer and I can sit or walk pets at various times throughout the week. I do have a somewhat flexible schedule with work and can work around and care for any pets at different times of the week. I will keep the house clean and help pick up or do any tasks needed while I care for your pet. I also make sure that I am safely caring and looking out for the pets on walks as well to ensure the best care needed.

About: I've experienced with most kind of animals and have a vet technician certificate for both large and small animal. I work with money animals and there's not much that will scare me off <3 I'm fresh out of college and I'm available almost always, I genuinely feel like taking care of animals is a reward rather than a chore, Please tell me even if your creatures are weird little stick bugs, birds Or a kangaroo! For whatever animal you have please inform me in advance of behaviors that I might need to keep an eye on or if they have medical needs or just general needs. If you have a cat who's a Maine Coon that needs a lot of brushing but is sassy when getting brushed I would like to know in advance. I will not discriminate even if your pet may be a bit aggressive to new people I just want to know for everyone's safety going into this and to ensure your pets have the best experience possible. Frequent bathroom breaks are given however if your animal has different dietary needs I would also like to know that. I'm well aware that some animals may not get along with one another while eating even if they get along fine during the day and I am also aware that some may eat non-Stop with food in front of them and for that I would have to limit their food to meal times. Everything I ask is for the welfare of your pets.

Haley was great. Our cat got sick while we were on vacation and she was so helpful. She got him to the vet and kept in constant contact. I will only trust HER for future visits. You (and your pet) will love her!!!

About: I’ve been a dog owner for my entire life and I honestly wouldn’t have had it any other way. I am very flexible when it come to all of the furry creatures of all shapes and sizes. I have dog sat for both family members and other family’s. I have had about 8 years of dog sitting. I am very reliable, trustworthy and determined. I would prefer if the dog were under 150 pounds, since I am a smaller person and not very muscular, but with that being said, I do accept all of the lovable pets. I do have another job as a CNA at blessing hospital, so I will need days and times you would like for me to be with your lovable pets. I hope to meet them soon 🙂! I do have l my weekly routine because I have two little fur babies on my own that I have to take care of every day and night. I have a home of my own that has a fenced in backyard so I can watch your little furry baby from my house. But i prefer to watch them in their environment that they’re already comfortable with.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Palmyra on Rover is $27.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 37 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palmyra. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Palmyra 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. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
