About: I have always had a fondness for animals, I believe they show us the best parts of love! I have taken care of many animals including cats, dogs, and goats for many friends and family. I love spending time with the little babies who need a bit of extra attention, time, and patience! I am currently employed full time within walking distance from my apartment. I go on walks in the morning and evening, and would love more companions! I have a knack for reading how people/animals are doing in new situations, so I do my best to provide a gentle, patient, and loving home away from home!
“Heidi was fantastic. My cats are pretty picky and they took to Heidi quickly. She also reached out immediately when there was a medical concern for one of my cats and offered to go back and check on her. She also checked in the next morning to see how my cat was doing, which was very sweet.”
“Toby is AWEmazing with my Rottweiler Mello he always works with my schedule and is great with working with me last minute. He also sticks to his commitment when I have something planned weeks Ahead! I will def continue using him for my boarding and drop ins !!!”
About: I used to be a military police dog handler for a long time so I have great experience with dogs. I am a person who genuinely cares about animals. Ever since I was little I’ve had a dog there for me in my life. I treat every animal with care and respect! Your dog will be in great hands when booked with me! Right now I am on leave for quite a while so everyday any day will work for me. I will be around the dog 24/7 and make sure they are happy and taken great care of. I have a fenced back yard and a fenced play area in the basement where dogs can run around and play without getting too hot because outside in the hot sun all day.
About: I have been around all different kinds of dogs my entire life. My parents were big animal lovers which had been passed on to me. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own. One is a smaller dog and our other 2 are bigger dogs (60-75 lbs). Our cat is a 3 year old cat who is not afraid of anything. He loves to play with our dogs like he is one of them! I have a heart for animals and love getting to spoil and play with all the dogs/ cats that I have the chance to meet. I currently am staying at home with my daughter! I was a teacher but now am staying at home full time. Whatever you need I am able to fit your animals schedule into my day! I am able to follow any schedule and rules that are needed to be followed. It is so important to know that your dog is in good hands and taken care of when you are away and I want to be sure that every client knows I will do that for them. I will be sure to love on, play and make sure the dogs needs are met and each client can have an eased mind when they are away.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I can administer medications (both oral & syringe), give baths, play/walk them, cuddle them or whatever your fur baby may need! I am a full time coach so I do travel some weekends & have practices but also have flexible hours throughout the week! Weekends I will inform if I am unable to help you with your animals. I live in a one bedroom apartment with me dog and one cat! Bailey is friendly and Nik is an orange cat so he usually keeps to himself! I can crate your baby if you need/want. If you have a fenced in yard I can play with your animals outside!
About: I’ve taken care of many of my classmates pets back.while I was a child.what separates me is the genuine compassion I have for animals and sitting I’m currently working a full time job about 40-45 hours a week.this would be a good side job to add on to my work load I use whatever resources they provide like doggy door ,fence,litter box etc whatever is at my disposal most importantly I pride myself in handle each pet with as much care as I would do my own
“Ariana was excellent! She was very knowledgeable, professional, and clearly experienced. Communication was great throughout the entire booking, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. She also provided helpful updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear my pet was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets and my own since I was very young. I have 5 dogs back home which are a handful but you can never have too many animals ! I currently work full time in the Army, but I don’t do much on the weekends nor after work besides going to the gym. I have no children, just me and my wife and I’m looking forward to accommodating to anyone in need ! Side note: I get off typically at 3pm on Fridays so I’m available after that, any long weekends I have off will also be updated on my schedule ! In my clients home I know that the safety and well being of their pets are the number one priority so I intend to follow whichever schedule they may already have.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Cane Corso, which gave me firsthand experience living with and caring for a large, powerful breed from an early age. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats, parrots, chinchillas, and fish—including a household of seven Maine Coons—so I’m comfortable around animals with very different personalities and needs. I eventually turned that lifelong experience into professional pet sitting, caring for dogs and cats for about a year. That experience taught me that good pet care goes beyond feeding and walks. Every animal has their own routine, temperament, boundaries, and way of communicating, and I make an effort to understand and respect those differences. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, including large breeds, and I’m patient with animals that need time to become comfortable with someone new. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and any other specific care your pet requires. As an active-duty Soldier at Fort Campbell, reliability and attention to detail are important to me. I also understand how unpredictable military schedules can be. Whether you’re dealing with a long duty day, field exercise, TDY, or simply need someone dependable while you’re away, my goal is to make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. You can expect clear communication, photos, and updates while your pets are in my care—because you shouldn’t have to wonder how they’re doing while you’re away. As an active-duty Soldier at Fort Campbell, I keep a structured routine and plan my pet-sitting availability around my military schedule. I’m generally available outside of duty hours, including evenings and weekends, and I keep my Rover calendar updated so I only accept bookings I know I can reliably fulfill. I also understand that military life doesn’t always follow the original plan. Long duty days, field exercises, TDY, and last-minute schedule changes happen, so I especially understand clients who need dependable pet care when their own schedules become unpredictable. When I accept a booking, I make that commitment part of my schedule and ensure I have enough time to give your pet proper care and attention rather than trying to squeeze in as many visits as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animal and the home with respect. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care instructions, household rules, and any areas that are off-limits. Safety always comes first. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure before moving a pet in or out of the home, and I pay attention to the animal’s behavior rather than forcing interaction. I’m comfortable giving shy or cautious pets the time and space they need to become familiar with me. I also believe trust comes from communication. I’ll provide photos and updates during visits and let you know if I notice anything unusual with your pet or their environment. As an active-duty Soldier, accountability and attention to detail are important parts of my everyday life. When you trust me with your pet and access to your home, I take that responsibility seriously.
“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: 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.
“My absolute favorite pup sitter ever! We had a loss in the family and with almost no notice he reached out letting me know he could help. He also went above and beyond making sure each of my dogs got out door time, special attention, treats, their medication and fresh food and water. Genuinely just a wonderful human. Thank you for everything you do! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I've been in the veterinarian world for 5 years and would love to bring that experience to help make you and your pup happy I currently work a full time job but I can be flexible about needs as they arise. I value open and honest communication. Thank you! I would love to go over any concerns for your fur baby's well being with you and make a safety plan that you feel comfortable with.
“Hailee was the best! She was very prompt in getting back with me when I requested her to come and set with my two goldendoodles. She drooped in three times a day with our girls for several days and she was always on time. She played, fed, watered and loved them. She also was so good about sending pictures and letting me know how my girls were doing. Everything was very clean when I came back home. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palmyra is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 573 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palmyra. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palmyra. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
