About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and if your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like family from the moment they walk through the door. ❤️ I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and getting to care for them honestly doesn’t feel like work to me. Every pet has their own little personality, routines, and quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or would rather spend the day snuggled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. When you’re away, my goal is to make your pet feel as safe, loved, and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their normal routine, follow every instruction carefully, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and exercise based on their individual needs. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. That’s why I send lots of photo updates and messages throughout their stay so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I want you to feel like you’re right there with them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety, happiness, and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have a clean and cozy environment, and treat them with the same love and patience I’d want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member, and I hope to become someone you can count on whenever you need a trusted sitter!! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together, I love making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout the day. Since I’m home often, I’m also able to provide companionship and make sure pets aren’t left alone for long periods of time while their owners are away! Safety starts with understanding each pet as an individual. Before caring for a new pet, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, comfort level, and any important details from their owner. Knowing what is normal for each pet helps me provide better care and recognize when something may be different. In my home, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and enrichment while still making sure each pet’s safety comes first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep their routine consistent, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I believe good pet care is about being attentive, patient, and proactive. I pay attention to changes in behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and overall well-being, and I keep owners updated so they always feel connected and informed!

About: I currently have a 5 year old male GoldenDoodle and a 3 year old female doxie. My fur babies are my world next to my human daughter. They are well taken care of with dog insurance at Banfield with yearly teeth cleaning and up to date on all shots and vaccines. I have watched my friends and families fur babies and would love to care for others. I am looking to occupy my free time on the weekends with more dog interactions in the neighborhood. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available to walk or board on the weekends or weekdays. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I take my dogs on multiple long walks per day. I can also crate your dog if you need.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. When I turned 18 I adopted my Frodo, a fox hound who lived to be 19. I cared for him through his old age and had to carry him up & down the stairs for the last few years of his life as he had degenerative disk disease. I have foster dogs frequently and I will treat your baby as I would my own. We go regularly to the dog parks to socialize aside from playing in our own back yard. Your pet will be safe, happy and loved while you are away and you will be updated at least once every 4 hours with pictures. I am a teacher so I am free to be home with your pet all day long during the summer and school vacations. Aside from that I am free all weekends and evenings. During our time together your pup will have walks as often as you request, can run free in the yard, will be fed according to your schedule, can swim in the pool, and will be cuddled as much as your pup wants. For cats, I tailor my care to the individual cat based on your requests and your cat’s preferences. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a back yard that is fenced with a pool. Your baby can have the run of my house or can crate if that’s what you normally do. My goal is to keep your pets routine as normal as possible while you are gone so my care will be tailored to your requests. I am a teacher, so I am home all summer, school, vacations, and weekends. I am also home in the evenings. During the normal school year, I am gone for 8 hours out of the day. If the calendar says I am available then that means your pup will be the center of attention during that time. I have a fenced backyard where your pup can roam or a crate if that is what they prefer. They can have the run of my house or a sweet spot on the couch. Keeping your pets normal routine is key.

About: Lifelong dog lover — I grew up caring for three dogs and now share my home with a high-energy pup and one with medical needs, so daily meds, exercise routines, and extra patience are second nature to me. Years of pet sitting for neighbors and family have prepared me for dogs of every size, breed, and personality. I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own — from calm daily walks to high-energy outings. You'll get photo and text updates every visit, so you always know your pup is safe and happy. Available afternoons and weekends. Let's set up a meet-and-greet! Most afternoons and evenings are free for walks and visits — that's usually prime time for pets who've been cooped up all day. Weekends are wide open, so I can take on longer walks, dog park trips, or multiple visits per day if needed. When I'm walking or checking in on your pet, I follow your routine, not mine — feeding times, medication schedules, and any specific instructions you leave are the first thing I stick to. For walks, I match the pace and length to what your dog needs that day: calm and steady for older or medical-needs pups, more active with plenty of playtime for high-energy ones.

I focus on providing attention and companionship in a calm environment so dogs feel safe and well cared for. I have flexible availability, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to their pets during the week. I make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and well cared for while with me. I focus on providing a safe, calm, and clean environment for their pets, whether in my home or the client’s. I follow instructions carefully and respect routines, always prioritizing their comfort, trust, and well-being.

We’re incredibly grateful and would trust Bri again in a heartbeat.

About: Before I became a human mama, I was a fur mama.. so therefore, I know how worried you can be when you’re gone all day or for a trip! It’s always reassuring to have someone who also loves animals care for your family. I’d love to give you that peace of mind and care for your fur kiddos! I had a gentle giant, Great Dane / Greater Swiss Mountain Dog fur baby, who was my world! We enjoyed beach days, walks, car rides to Starbucks, and especially naps. After he passed. I had human babies, but I still needed to have myself a fur baby. I am now lucky enough to have a wild child, Ramsey who is the sweetest, most gentle puppy. He is so full of joy & energy, and amazing with our 3 kids! I am lucky enough to make my own schedule, so I am extremely flexible. I balance my days out according to what’s on the agenda for that said day! We have a fenced in yard for our kids & fur baby, Rambo. They all love to play with dogs & get along great! We’d love another friend.

This is the first time we were entrusting someone new to pet sit for Fawn-z. I instinctively chose Crystal from the profiles on the website. When she came to our house for a meet and greet Fawn-z responded favorably to her. He chose her after Fawn-z met 3 pet sitters from other companies. Crystal had a tall order to get used to Fawn-z's routine and the other little things for his comfort and well being. She really stepped up to the plate to accommodate my anxiety leaving "our boy" with someone new for 11 days. Crystal took 75 photos in 11 days! It gave us a story of how Fawn-z was responding to Crystal. He looked calm and so content. He even licked her hand and he never does that to anyone except to me! Amazing! We were pleased to see the way Crystal approached Fawn-z on the first day when he hid under my bed. When we got home Fawn-z looked well fed and in happy spirits. That's a positive testimony of Crystal's care for him. As well, it was obvious that Crystal did well in administering his medication twice a day. I set up a written schedule for Crystal, which I thought would be helpful given it was her first time taking care of Fawn-z. She duly initialed the tasks voluntarily after each one was completed. I didn't even ask her to do that. The bonus, Crystal kept our house as impeccable as it was when we left. We are thrilled that Fawn-z and Crystal bonded. She made the whole new process easy for us. Thank you Crystal for being diligent with Fawn-z and patient with me. What a great match. Fawn-z will see you again on August 5, 2026.

Harmony was wonderful with our pup! He can be a little daunting at first with his big bark but that didn’t bother her at all. She was so sweet with him, and honestly we were so happy that we found someone who just instantly understood him. She let us know when she was on the way, when she arrived, and when she was headed out - couldn’t have asked for better communication, and we’re really excited that our pup will have a new friend! 100% recommend her! :)

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Royal Palm Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Royal Palm Beach on Rover is $22.23 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 3,789 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Royal Palm Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Royal Palm Beach 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.

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 Royal Palm Beach. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 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.
