“Aaron was great with my cats and communicated effectively. He did an amazing job with keeping up with their schedule and letting me know what he did that day. I highly recommend him.”
“What a lifesaver and super responsible! We had a last minute cancellation on our pet sitter and were away for the weekend and Ariana answered us very timely and jumped in to action. She is a great communicator and went above and beyond for our pets. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Katherine has been doing awesome with Ranger! Shows up on time and makes sure that he has food and water and plays with him during visits to keep his mind entertained while I am at work!”
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 cared for lots of animals since I can even remember. I grew up around pets and was taught to always be kind and caring towards them. I’m currently in the military so my days are always free after 4pm and I get an hour and a half lunch to stop in and check on pets! I have 3 cats currently who are very spoiled! I also used to work in a vet clinic so if your pet has medication that need administered I can do it!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life and I love them I have experience with small dogs and big dogs, pretty much any kind ! I even dog sat when I was younger for my neighbors. I am completely free on weeknds, I am free before 9 and after 5 on weekdays as well as staying over nights for your pet! I have a fenced yard, and many toys for your doggies to love and a crate if needed . Beds and treats and food also for your dogs !
“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!”
“Maddison was so amazing at taking care of my pups. I got frequent pictures showing me all the fun they were having together. I highly recommend Maddison to watch your babies as well. This isn't the first time she has watched my pups and it wont be the last. Thank you Maddison!!!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since a child. I also have had pets of my own, currently I have a dog. I have taken care of my neighbors pets before as well as family members. I currently have a lot of time on my hands. I am online at college so my schedule is pretty flexible. My days are pretty much free for a while. I live in an apartment so at home sitting wouldn’t work for the time being. I do not mind coming to pet sit in the comfort of the owners home.
“Looove lilly! She came visit us to get to know the cats before we left. This was my first time using rover and also our first time leaving our cats after moving to a new place so I was pretty anxious. But she took such great care of my babies that I didn’t have to worry about them while we were on vacation. She made sure our cats trusted her and was so patient with them. She kept me updated and love all the pictures she sent me. TY LILLY 🤍”
“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 am the definition of a pet lover!! All my life I have owned all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, frogs, snakes, and birds. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12, I made money as a young teenager by passing out flyers in my neighborhood offering walks and play sessions. I’ve cared for many different breeds and sizes, and as an adult I have raised and trained 2 puppies, a Pit Bull and German Sheppard, and adopted four seniors. I currently sit for family and close friends regularly. I have a 9 year old chihuahua mix named Tucker and a chameleon named Skittles I am currently working full time but I am off Thursday-Saturday and off at 2 on the days I do work so I am available and time that I am not at work! I will treat your furry family members the same way that I treat mine, my chihuahua Tucker lives his life like a king! He sleeps in the bed with me and my wife every night and we have a fenced in dog park at my apartments so he gets to run around and play fetch and then when we are done he expects his massage session with my impact massage gun, we also have a grooming station on site so he very much enjoys his weekly baths. At my dads when I pet sit for him I take his German Sheppard Elsa on long walks and play hide and seek with her in the house(she always wins) My sister has a Golden retriever puppy so when he isn’t sleeping he is wanting to play chase and fetch in the back yard.
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.
“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!”

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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Palmyra with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
