“Nicole took such good care of Olive! It was last minute and she still took time to come by and meet her, make sure she was comfortable, ask for all of the necessary information and details, and Olive took to her immediately. I received regular updates and photos and came home to a happy and well cared for pup and clean home. I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She will care for your pets like they are her own.”
“Kathryn stayed at our home for 12 days taking care of our three chihuahuas. She was incredibly helpful, communicated well (including sending photos and videos of our dogs every day), took great, loving care of our dogs, and left our home clean and ready for us when we returned. We would definitely recommend and we will be requesting Kathryn's help next time we travel!”

“Allie spent a weekend taking care of my best fur friend in my home. She warm very respectful of my home, communicated well, and gave me loads of comfort knowing that fur baby was being taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend.”
“Gwen was amazing! She took such good care of our baby while we were gone. She sent pictures and updates the entire time. She was very responsive any time I had questions. She stayed at our house and left it exactly how it was when we left. I would love to use her again!!”
About: I have taken care of my two small dogs since I was eight years old after years of begging for one. I love all dogs and understand each one has their own special needs, since my dogs each need different foods, toys, and levels of attention. I am available for night time walks and most every weekend. I know how picky I am about who takes care of my dogs when I travel so I know what it takes to be a trustful, caring pet sitter who will put you at ease of mine when you're away. I am very responsible and will make sure that your dog's care is a priority and that all of their needs are met. I’ve walked and sat for all different types of dogs while living in NYC and have a wide range of experience whether that be hyperactive dogs who need to get their energy out or senior dogs who need a little extra care. I am currently working 9-5 during the week so I am available for any nightly walks or checks in and on the weekends! The weekends I have more flexibility and am available to dog sit or for walks! I have an apartment that is safe for any pet and am a short walk to multiple parks and dog parks! I also am available to stay in a clients home and would respect any rules you have for your pets and your home, as I know how much trust is placed in a pet caregiver. I will make sure to meticulously follow any eating, sleeping, and cleaning habits for the dogs and will respect any home.
“Malynda was great with our clan!!! She checked in a lot, sent photos and went above and beyond for our pets. I know it was a successful and great week for my pets and she sent me photos of the timid cats getting pets from her and treats!! I highly recommend her.”
“Kathleen was the most wonderful pet sitter ever! Not only did my 2 dogs and cat love her but so did we! She stayed at my house for 2 weeks while we were in Spain and cooked for them and even watered our plants and took care of our house. My babies were so well taken care of and loved! ❤️ I definitely will be using her every time! I recommend you do too!”
About: Raised and cared for dogs and cats my whole life—trusted, attentive, and reliable, treating every dog or cat like family while ensuring comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. I work from home in medical billing, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. With a supportive household, there is always someone available to provide care, attention, and a safe, loving environment for pets. I do not have a fenced yard; however, I ensure dogs remain active and engaged through multiple daily walks. For safety, my dogs are crate-trained, and I can accommodate crating or separation as needed. I am happy to provide slow, supervised introductions or keep pets separated at all times to match your comfort level. I prioritize supervision, structure, and maintaining a calm, loving environment for every dog in my care.
“Gyan was fantastic with watching my dog. My dog has anxiety and he allowed him to warm up to him at his own pace. During the week Gyan sent me updates and pictures to reassure me that my pup was ok. And when I got back from my trip I noticed Gyan bought him a new toy. The care and detail that Gyan had was great; much appreciated!!”
“Jahari was wonderful with my special needs dog, Costi. Costi has a lot of anxiety especially with new people and Jahari was so kind and calm with her. She stayed overnight at my house when I was in a pinch and had to go away last minute. She sent a lot of picture and text updates so I never had to worry or wonder if everything was ok. I will definitely be using Jahari again. 10/10 recommend!”
“Julia house/dog sat over the Thanksgiving holiday. I appreciated her updates and she was also very responsive to my occasional check-ins. She was extremely flexible and responsible. We came home to a happy/relaxed pup. I will definitely request Julia in the future when the need arises! Thanks Julia :)”
“When I say that this woman is gods gift to Rover I mean it. My flight was canceled last minute and my very old and sick puppy would have been stranded. Susana not only dropped everything to stay an extra 24 hours, made sure he was safe, and she learned his intense medical regime, did research on a cough that is part of his condition, and left me with homemade jam on her way out. We just moved to west Palm, and it’s just him and I. I tell you I cried and I can’t believe how thankful foley and I are to have met Susana. She is a treasure. BOOK HER.”
“Ashley was fantastic! She is professional and thorough. She sent me a ton of photos and videos which eased my anxiety with being away from Eevee. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a sitter and I will be using her services for Eevee again!”
“Toni was very accommodating to my last minute request. She stayed in my home while we were away on vacation and took amazing care of my senior dogs. The house was left spotless and she sent me many updates throughout the stay to let us know how they were doing. She was very knowledgeable and reliable in caring for my special-needs dog. She gave him insulin twice a day along with his seizure medication. Would highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Royal Palm Estates is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Royal Palm Estates
Leaving our three dogs while we went on a family vacation cruise could have been stressful, but Elayne made the entire experience completely worry-free. She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and took the time to understand each of our dogs' unique personalities. Throughout our trip, she kept in constant contact with regular updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. To top it all off, we came home to very happy, well-loved pups and an immaculate house! Elayne went above and beyond, and we will definitely be using her every time we go away. Elayne is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! We strongly suggest everyone book Elayne—she’s truly the best, and your dogs will love her!
Shawn has watched the "Kids" twice for us in our home when we had to go out of town, and let me just say, he's one of the best dog/home sitters you'll find on Rover. I've tried a few different sitters over the years, and Shawn J. is the only one I'll use again. One of the most reliable, caring sitters on this site. DO NOT HESITATE to book him to watch your pets/home. There is no price you can put on peace of mind while away. Book him today!
Aline took wonderful care of our cat, Star, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Star was well cared for and comfortable when we returned home, and our house was just as we left it. We truly appreciated the care and attention she gave to both Star and our home. We would be happy to have Aline house sit for us again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Rachael went above and beyond in her care for my pup and my home. She provided updates including about their walks and playtime, left the house immaculate including stripping the bed, taking out the trash, and doing laundry, and sent daily photos. I would strongly recommend Rachael for your pet sitting needs.
Gwen is the absolute best! She took care of our lab Maisie over the Memorial Day holiday weekend as well as our son's little cockapoo, Beau. She's taken care of Maisie multiple times before, but this time she had two to deal with, two pups who don't live together, two pups who were both away from their parents.... And she handled this with patience, kindness, and thoughtful care of both of them.
Chante is amazing. She stayed in our home and took care of our two dogs for the first time, while we were out of the country for 11 days. Right from the start, she was professional, responsible and focussed on our needs and those of our dogs. She came for not one, but two pre trip meetings, where she met the dogs, introduced her dog to ours, walked them and discusses all the details of care. Our dogs are older, with feeding and medicine needs and Chante took care of all that without any problems. She was very loving to the dogs and kept us informed the whole time we were away, with texts, pics and videos. We came home to find our house perfectly clean, and our dogs perfectly cared for and happy! We could not be more thrilled with Chante! We are so happy to have found her and will be using her whenever we have doggy care needs. Thanks for everything, Chante!
Somyr was absolutely wonderful with Kingston. From the very beginning, she kept us informed and at ease, sending sweet updates and pictures that truly meant a lot to us. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our love bug and treated him with so much care and attention. Knowing he was happy, comfortable, and loved made all the difference. If you're looking for a loving pet sitter. I highly recommend Somyr to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. When she left, Kingston was looking for her. My husband had to take him out front to show him that she was gone.
Terra was an exceptional pet sitter. We have multiple pets with diverse personalities, and she effortlessly managed to engage with all of them. Our pets are Covid pets who struggle with changes in their routines, and Terra demonstrated remarkable patience with them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Royal Palm Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Royal Palm Estates on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,506 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Royal Palm Estates. 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 Royal Palm Estates 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 Royal Palm Estates 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 Royal Palm Estates 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 Royal Palm Estates. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
