“Alexandria is always so responsive and flexible - she takes great care of our fur babies but also is so easy to work with, it makes the process of going away for a trip so much less stressful! She always updates us with any info about our pets, but definitely has the experience to know what is a big deal and what isn't. Having someone at home that we trust makes a world of difference!”
“Great person and very reliable, our dogs loved her. She fed them, played, took for walks and cleaned up after. We were getting pictures and messages while we were away, it was such relief knowing that the puppies are safe and looked after. Will definitely using her services in the future. Thank you”
“Gabrielle has watched our big pitbull three or four times now and we feel like she’s part of the family! She’s very attentive to our big dog and sends us lots of pics when she’s with her! We are so happy we finally found someone we can trust.”
“We recently went on a trip to the Bahamas and were lucky enough to find Dominique on Rover to care for our 9 year old bulldog, Rocky. From the moment we met her, we knew he was in great hands. During our time away, Rocky wasn’t feeling 100%, and Dominique handled the situation with incredible care, patience, and love. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and treated him like one of her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was there. We can’t thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible sitter. Thank you, Dominique!”
“Dana was prompt, kind, and gave wonderful updates a few times a day (including pics.) Our dogs are big and we really need someone who can handle them without getting overwhelmed and he handled it with ease! Also, he did everything we asked re: caring for the dogs and walking them. Highly recommend him!”
“We've never left our kitties alone for more than a day or two and when we had to take a longer trip, we asked Porsche to take care of them while we were gone and it was a great experience. Normally whenever we're gone for too long, it's clear that they're stressed. When we got back this time they were totally chill, very "You were gone? Oh, we didn't notice. I'm going back to my nap now." It's was clear from their behavior that she took wonderful care of them and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend Porsche and will be asking her to take care of them in the future if she's willing.”
“Another great experience working with Rich! I will definitely be using him on a regular basis. The photos he sent were so well captured I will be printing them out for my wall💚”
“Carmen was communicative and followed all of our instructions to a tee! As our dog has heart failure and needs special care, we are always hesitant to leave him behind but we felt safe leaving him with Carmen. She was respectful of our home and was very kind. We would definitely book her for future sittings.”
“Brittany was so amazing! She was super communicative and flexible with my booking and Oscar absolutely loved her. I will definitely book with Brittany again if I need a long-term stay for Oscar!”
“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”
“Hanna is amazing. She's super responsible, gave my pup loads of love and took great care of my house, including when the roof started leaking in the rain. She communicates as often as you want, sends adorable pictures and videos and asks questions if she's not sure of anything. My dog has already requested her again. I'll certainly hope she's available next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Alexys took such good care of our cats and dog! She's caring, pays attention to the details, and left our house in perfect condition. We're definitely booking her right now for our next trip.”
“Kayleigh is easy to work with and clearly and knowledgeable pet sitter and genuine pet lover. Our dog Miley was very anxious during our house sitting booking which made it tough on Kayleigh to get her to go out and stick to her regular routine. Kayleigh communicated every step of the way to give us updates and allowed me to give feedback and suggestions on what to try to make Miley more comfortable. Greatly appreciated Kayleigh’s effort and communication. We’d book with Kayleigh again. Thanks!”
“Quanece & Malik are awesome! They are so helpful, go above and beyond and most importantly super loving and patient with my anxious pup. I am so grateful for their love and care that I know I can rely on when I’m not there. They are very easy to work with, flexible and communicative. Cannot recommend their services enough! Thank you!”
“Katie was an excellent dog sitter! She was communicative, thoughtful, and made sure that my anxious pup maintained her routine - it really felt like a seamless continuation of her life. Looking forward to working with Katie again in the future!”
“Vanessa did a great job watching after Barnaby for the weekend! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout, which brought me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I'd highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Ari did a great job taking care of Shadow while I was away. He provided updates, and pictures and videos daily, and was awesome about following the care instructions I provided. I think Shadow was a little sad to see Ari go, and I would definitely rebook!”
“Our family was away for 2 weeks and Aileen was fantastic. She was so attentive to our Sophie and when we arrived home last night, she kept staring at my husband and I when we stopped petting her and rubbing her ears. It was the cutest look as in “why are you stopping - Aileen spoiled me for two weeks with lots of love and petting”. Too sweet and she’s so content!! We highly recommend Aileen to take care of your furry loved one! We could not have been happier!!”

Kristen provided wonderful care to my epileptic pup that needed medication every 12 hours. She was awesome in providing updates and pictures throughout her stay. She communicated very well and was very responsible. I would definitely hire her again in the future.
Matthew was absolutely amazing! He followed all of my instructions perfectly, was very attentive to my dog’s needs, and kept my home clean and organized. I felt completely at ease knowing everything was being taken care of. I would definitely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Jessica’s was wonderful with my pets she stayed took care of them and they were very happy and very comfortable with her. I could see that when we first did the meet and greet.

FAQs for House Sitting - Palmyra
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palmyra on Rover is $54.5 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 5,450 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palmyra. 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 Palmyra 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 Palmyra 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 Palmyra 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 Palmyra. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
