“Brandy was amazing! She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with pictures and messages the whole time, which really put me at ease. I could tell my pets were super comfortable and happy with her. I came home to a clean house and happy pets—what more could you ask for? I’ll definitely be booking with Brandy again!”

“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.”
“I am the typical dog mom. My dog is my child. And this was the first time I’d be leaving him COMPLETELY alone. Previously, he’d had another dog when we’d go on vacation. So being worried is an understatement. But Cordia took all of that stress in stride and made me feel confident that my boy was going to be well taken care of. She loved on him the way I do and he behaved better for her than he ever has for me. She was an excellent communicator and was so flexible. Would absolutely recommend, 10/10, two thumbs up. Cordia I am so thankful for you!”
“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. 🙏🏾”
About: I have came across every dog you can imagine! Because of my previous work in a dog daycare I have learned more than enough on how to handle them. I have had my own dog for 5 plus years and various other animals as well! I go to University three days a week but I'm mostly a homebody! I spend the majority of my time at home. In that time, I can do all kinds of enrichment activities with pets! Playtime, a walk, Swims in a kiddie pool! I do not have a fenced in yard but I always keep dogs on a leash when outside or I let them play in my large kennel fence/cage for a bit! I will always be there to keep an eye on them! And they'll never be out for more than 1-1.5 hours at a time.
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.
“Laurel watched our cat and dog while we were out of town for a week and had watched them prior to this trip as well. She took great care of them both, always made sure she had their schedule, and checked in with us often! She sent us plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone, which we greatly appreciated! Laurel made sure both our animals were well taken care of and attended to while we were away. We would love to utilize Laurel again!!!”
“Alicia and her children did an amazing job with Chloe. The communication was prompt and consistent. I received many pictures while we were gone. It was the longest we’ve been away from our pup. She even stayed to comfort her during some fireworks while Chloe was very anxious. My plants were well cared for, too! My home was as we left it and Chloe was happy and healthy when we returned. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
About: I have been living with Pets since I was younger. I have always been good at taking care of animals. The love I have for pets is unspeakable I currently work a part time job but looking to do something I really love so I am available to take care of your pet anytime of the day. I owned a cat as a pet. For her I take care of her like she is a child to me lol. I make sure she is always healthy.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl. I always shower dogs with so much love & my annoying baby voice haha. I absolutely adore dogs. I am very flexible with my schedule since I am a student in college taking online courses ! I am available on evenings & weekends. I care for my pets with lots of toys & treats! When it’s time to go potty, I use a leash for my dog due to living in the city with no fence or backyard.
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.

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 284 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
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
