About: Hi, I’m Trinity! I recently earned my MBA and am a former collegiate track and field athlete. I’ve loved animals my whole life and originally studied biology with plans to attend veterinary school. I grew up with a family dog I was very close to, and after losing them, I became even more passionate about giving pets love, patience, and care. As an adult, I got my own dogs, Scooby and Nola, and I treat every pet I watch with that same level of love and protection. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or companionship, I make sure they feel safe and happy. New to Rover? Use my link for $20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/trinb48610 I provide loving, reliable pet care by feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while owners are away I treat every pet like my own. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and care. In clients’ homes, I follow their pet’s routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress free while their owners are away.
“Brandy was phenomenal! She sent multiple updates every day along with pictures of our boys while we were gone. She took such great care of our dogs and our home. We will definitely use her again in the future. She is very professional and amazingly sweet. I could tell our boys were happy to have her here while we were away.”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals, including dogs 🐕 , cats 🐈 ,rats 🐀, chameleons 🌈 , iguanas 🦎 , and birds 🐥. Currently, my family has five cats 🐈⬛ (four of which are mine), two dogs 🐶 (a Rottweiler and a Lab Mix), two birds 🦜(a Conyard and an Amazon parrot), and a large Sulcata tortoise 🐢 . I also have a jumping spider 🕷️ . I’m well-versed in all aspects of animal care ❤️🩹and have a lot of patience 🤗. I’ll give your pets all the love and attention they need. 💕 I’m currently between jobs because I recently moved here. So, my typical morning routine involves opening the blinds, feeding my cats, and checking on my spider. I would treat my clients’ animals as if they were my own and would adapt to the specific needs of each pet as per the client’s instructions.
“Ella came and met Xena & we knew instantly that she was going to be a great fit for us AND Xena! Within minutes, Xena was rolled over, belly up letting Ella love on her. We received daily updates with pictures and honestly felt so comfortable and relieved to have someone like Ella to watch our dog. Everything was just how it was when we left, with Xena happy as can be. :) We will definitely be using this young lady again - we cannot thank her enough for our peace of mind while away.”
“Ariana was AMAZING! Our sitter canceled on us with less than a months notice. We were very nervous but she was super kind and communicative! Our dogs lived her and we will definitely use her again!”
“I’m more than happy with Alysse’s service! Het attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor truly made a difference in my cats & my experience. The care and effort she puts into making sure everything was perfect. Her dedication to her work is evident, and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the service. 🙏🏾”
“Lindsey was willing to stay at our home for a week to house sit our 10 year old pitbull mix while we were away on vacation. Not only was she great at taking care of our home while we were away (cleaned, did laundry, took the trash to the edge of the drive for trash day, etc.) but she did a phenomenal job of taking care of our pup the entire time - she was very communicative and made sure to send us pictures and updates daily! We will definitely be asking Lindsey to help us again in the future and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone we know!”

I follow any specific instructions from pet parents to make sure each pet feels comfortable, secure, and happy during their stay.💖

FAQs for House Sitting - Palmyra
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palmyra on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 291 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
