“During our meet and greet with Kelsey, she blew us out of the water! I was so impressed with how she handled and interacted with our 3 dogs. We have a very grumpy old man who doesn't take to new people very well. Kelsey greeted them, loved on them and was not intimidated by Jake at all. Jake was friends with her by the end of our meet and greet. The two little ones took to her as well. In addition to Jake, Gemma was in heat and I was grateful Kelsey had experience with that and I didn't have to worry about messes while we were gone. We booked her that night. She stayed in our home with them while we were on vacation out of country. We also have chickens and I was grateful she was more than happy to tend to them as well. It was such a blessing to know that our home, fur babies and chickens were being watched and cared for. I received daily updates from her and countless pictures. I LOVED THAT!! Kelsey made sure the house was clean and tidied for when we arrived home, she even washed and folded all of Gemma's diapers. I can't rave enough about how amazing and perfect Kelsey was and is for our family. We have already booked with her for our summer trip and have a grooming appointment with her. Thanks a million times over Kelsey!! We can't wait to see you again!”
“Emily was the best pet sitter!! Coming home to our pups happy & healthy and the house still standing! It’s such a good feeling!!! We are so thankful for Emily and her attentiveness and being willingness to love our dogs while we were gone for the weekend! Thank you so much!! She texted & updated.! And paid attention to our instructions. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Jacob was amazing! We had him stay over and watch our dogs for a few days while we went on vacation. my dogs adored him, he followed all directions, communicated well, sent me many photos and left my house just like we left it. I would highly recommend Jacob to care for your dogs. I will definitely be using him again.”
“Meretta stayed with our dogs at our house for a week over the holidays and we loved having her! She was great at communicating, sent pictures of the dogs and left our house cleaner than when we left. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“Mark made me feel relaxed and it ease as soon as he came into our house and quickly made the dogs feel that way as well! A very gentle disposition and quiet demeanor helped our dogs be at ease. Thank you so much for helping us, Mark!”
“Lindsay couldn’t have been a better dog sitter to our big and little guy! She was super responsive and flexible with our changing schedule. She administered meds for our old dog and was patient and loving with our puppy. The house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs sleepy after a long walk! So glad we found her! 💖”
“Catherine, was wonderful. Meet and greet was good . She took notes and wanted to interact with my dog . During her stay she sent pictures and gave updates . She left the house neat , and left very little footprint . She was nice and curtious . My dog seemed to do great with her and was no worse for wear when we returned so I think it want well . I would have her house sit again .”
“Gayle did an excellent job with our dogs. They were well taken care of and she took care of our cat as well. We have a timid German Shepard that does not trust a lot of people, but she loved Gayle. We would use her again and again!! I would recommend Gayle to anyone!!!”
“This is the second time we've engaged Liz's services and once again we are more than pleased. Liz is a perfect fit for our nervous dog, because Liz has a calm and loving nature that Stella quickly trusts. Stella spends a lot of time snuggling with Liz during our absence, thus we know Stella is comfortable and happy. The house is in perfect order and clean when we return. Both house and Stella do well under Liz's professional care. We will be using Liz's service again, and we highly recommend her to others for her honesty and excellent care.”
“Brody was professional, responsive, and communicative. He got along so well with my big, energetic dogs and took good care of our home. I’ll definitely book with him again!”
“A very caring sitter in a calm environment, which is what my elderly dog needs. Charlie has quite a few medicines, including three eyedrops. Darlena took it all in stride. I especially appreciated her letting Charlie sleep with her as he's used to cuddling overnight. Already scheduling two more stays for Charlie and have recommended her to a friend.”
“Samye was fantastic! She showed up right on time for our initial meetup, was incredibly easy to communicate with, and kept us updated regularly while watching Barbara. She was thoughtful, attentive, and left our home spotless. Having her stay at our place gave us real peace of mind, and we’d absolutely love to have her watch Barbara again!”
“Lexie was fantastic! From the moment she arrived, she was a beacon of support, providing frequent updates and delightful photos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. Our dogs took to her immediately, visibly excited and comfortable in her presence. She was exceptionally communicative, always checking in and ensuring that she fully understood and addressed all our specific needs regarding their care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and secure.”
“Hannah took great care of my boys and went above and beyond when there was a small mishap (100% my fault) at the beginning of her stay. She also accommodated an extension of my trip without hesitation. My home was in great shape when I returned and she provided updates to ease my mind while away. Thank you, Hannah!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Was very happy how easy it was. Ashley was great and took good care of both Chance and my place. Would totally use Ashley again and would recommend her to any dog owner.”

“Makenzie is amazing! I booked her on short notice, and she went out of her way to make sure we met and felt comfortable. We have three dogs—two Boston Terriers and a French Bulldog puppy—and she handled everything beautifully. I really appreciate her being upfront, and her rates are very reasonable. She followed the walking, medication, and feeding schedule perfectly. Makenzie is kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. When we came home, the house was clean, she had even washed her own sheets, and most importantly—the dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Outstanding! I can’t say it enough how amazing Kelsey was with my animals and keeping me updated, and I came home to a clean smelling good house. If you need a sitter pick Kelsey! You’ll be so thrilled you did and won’t regret it! She will for sure be out to pick every time!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,015 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.

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.
