“Aaron is an exceptional pet and house sitter. He is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the animals in his care. I’ve had him house sit for me twice, and each time he has gone above and beyond. He provides daily photo updates, follows care instructions thoroughly, and takes excellent care of both my home and my dogs. He even brings in mail and packages and always leaves the house cleaner than he found it. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely adore him and are always happy to see him. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your pets, I highly recommend Aaron. Whether you’re new to hiring a pet sitter or simply looking for someone dependable, you can feel confident leaving your fur babies in his care.”
“Jenn did such a fabulous job. She dropped in a few days before to meet my dogs which was amazing since my doodle doesn’t warm up easily to strangers. She updated me and sent photos during the entire process. My doodle ended up loving her! My mind was at ease knowing they were in such good hands! I highly recommend her! Thank you Jenn!”
About: I have experience caring for both Huskies and Golden Retrievers, which has given me insight into different energy levels, personalities, and training styles. Huskies require structure and exercise, while Golden Retrievers are eager to please and highly social. Currently, I am raising a 9-week-old Golden Retriever, focusing on early training, socialization, and building healthy daily routines. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine and something I prioritize. Each day includes feeding, walks, playtime, and basic training, especially with my 9-week-old Golden Retriever who requires frequent attention and structure. I also make time for grooming, cleaning, and monitoring their health and behavior. Overall, caring for my pets is naturally built into my schedule and balanced alongside my other responsibilities. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, clean, and structured environment where their needs are consistently met. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, ensuring they always have fresh water, and giving them daily exercise and playtime. I focus on training and positive reinforcement, especially with my 9-week-old Golden Retriever, to build good habits early. I also maintain grooming, keep their living areas clean, and monitor their health and behavior closely to make sure they are happy and well cared for. I have a fenced in back yard for free roam play.
“Lauren always does a fantastic job with our crew. Today she came on approximately 24 hour notice to do a drop-in visit while we were unexpectedly out of town for the day. She’s always on time, follows the instructions, asks questions when needed, and cleans up after the pups. We love Lauren!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, compassionate animal lover with hands on experience working in a veterinary clinic. That experience has given me a strong understanding of animal body language and safe handling. I’m happy to tailor my care to their personality and routine. I know every dog is different, and I believe they deserve patience, kindness, and plenty of love while you’re away. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and lots of attention! I am currently taking classes online so i will be home all day with your fury little friend! I am very flexible and I can work around what works best for you. I have a pup named Potter who love to go to the park. He is overly friendly and love to play. We go on daily walks and park trips and occasionally play in his puppy pool.
“Ashlie was a great sitter for me! She was extremely communicative, punctual and very good with my dogs. My dogs are like my babies so it is hard for me to leave them with a sitter. Ashlie made me feel confident in booking her again if I ever have to leave!”
About: I was born and raised with St Bernard’s, Irish Setters and miniature poodles as well mutts, ducks, cats, birds etc. I have continued to have pets in my life through my adulthood. The last of my pack of 5 has now past away. I love dogs so much I volunteer in the pet community and have a non profit to help educate, maintain and build off leash dog parks. Responsible pet ownership is very important to me. As someone who had a pack of 5, all sizes, breds and ages and health, understand the need to have someone you trust care for your pet, at least as good as you would!! Rescue, special needs and seniors have a special place in my heart ❤️🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your fur family!! I have a flexible schedule working remotely from my home. I usually know what I have to be in front of the computer for at least a week in advance and work around where I need to be and when. Because I work remotely I am able to stay with your pet. Let’s set up a meet and greet to get to know each other before you need my services. Your fur family is a priority. I love to share time with your family. If they want to play, or snuggle or just know someone is there. I am flexible. I work remotely the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to be with your pets the majority of the time. I also limit the amount of other families I care for at one time, so I can give more of my attention to your family. I follow your rules, or example allowing them or not on furniture, specific snacks, or okay time routines. If you allow I’d love to snuggle with them through the night in bed with me.
About: I have always had dogs, and I absolutely love them. My childhood dog, Rowdy, is a senior pup now, and with that comes a lot that my family needs to do to take care of him. I believe it is so important to have patience with our seniors especially through their accidents and off-days. I also have become my sister’s great pyrenees’ favorite aunt! Nova is around 1 and a half and quite the large breed. She loves to snuggle but she also loves to pretend she is a shark! I would love to help you ensure your dogs are taken care of while you’re away! I am currently working at Starbucks, so I am free most days in the afternoons. I am off Saturdays and Thursday mornings! I am also a full-time online student going for K-5 Education at Austin Peay State University. N/A. I currently live in an apartment with my anxious kitty, and my roommate’s dachshund! I would want to have larger environment before I took your babies into my own home.
“I couldn’t be happier with the dog drop-ins! Pedro was incredibly attentive and made sure Storm felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the updates during/after each visit. The photos were a wonderful touch too; it was great seeing my dog happily playing and relaxing. Overall, the service was reliable, friendly, and truly thoughtful. I’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾💛”
“Carly is the best!! She was very responsive and accommodating in the booking process, and during her visits she was so loving to my cat Dill - including lots of snuggles and play time!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 13-year-old dog, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need at every stage. I also worked as a Canine Coach in a professional dog daycare, where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and ensured the safety of multiple dogs at once. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language, stay calm in different situations, and create a safe, positive environment. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means matching a high-energy pup or providing extra care for older dogs. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and attentive care so pet parents feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, however, I do work a full time job close by which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and maintaining consistent, high-quality care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive, individualized care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. During walks, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and making sure dogs get both physical activity and mental stimulation at a pace that suits them. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are well cared for by refreshing food and water, providing playtime or enrichment, and giving them attention and companionship. I also carefully monitor behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being during each visit, and I always respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents, including updates and photos if desired, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

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.
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!
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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
