“If my dogs could talk they would say “ where’s Patrick?” They LOVED him! My Malinois bonded with him and he was effective with his ability to pack lead. Patrick has a lot of experience as a dog trainer especially big dogs and worker dogs , which was very important to us. He exercised them and took wonderful care of them. We will most definitely book Patrick again. Patrick went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were safe, happy, and entertained. He is dependable, punctual, and very personable. Thanks Patrick”

“Cami was great! I have a very shy, anti-social cat, and she was incredibly patient with him. I needed someone to come everyday while I was on vacation so he could get his medicine he’s currently on for a urinary tract issue, and she was so good about it. It was really nice to know someone was checking in on him every day I was gone. I’ll definitely be booking Cami again!”

About: I have been pet sitting many different types of dogs for years. From Great Danes to Chihuahuas, I am a dog lover and am very compassionate and caring when taking care of any animal! I have experience with administering medication and am always ready to run around and play or sit down and cuddle with your pup while you’re away! I work in a cafe in West Palm Beach during the day time but can see your sweet furry friend in the afternoon/night or for an early morning visit! I am off completely from work on Sundays and Thursdays so that whole day is where I could fit in pet care. I will make your pet feel their absolute most comfortable as I will be only in the clients home. I love to play with pets and adapt to their regular routine so that they’re comfortable.

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, birds, bearded dragons, and snakes in my home, along with random outdoor critters that my mom would find and nurture back to health! I love spending time with almost all animals (sorry fish, not you), and I am on this app to connect with local animal lovers and help out the community while I work from home! I feel bad for animals that have to stay home alone all day while their human goes to work, I'd rather they be my coworkers! At least their drama is related to sniffing butts, scratching stuff, and treats, not office politics and squabbles. I work from home 4-5 days per week and love when I can take a break and snuggle with a furball or go for a stroll with a doggo! Nothing better for stress relief than that! Including for the four legged friend! At my place I have a good fenced in yard with a pool. If at your place, it's pretty much the same drill - I'll work for a couple hours at a time and take a break to spend time with the little guy/girl. I'm a fan of pets and playtime with treats (if permissable), a way for me and the buds to stretch our legs and our minds. It's not good for anyone to be cooped up for too long! A little fresh air goes a long way! I even carry my cat out to the patio at least once a day to squint at the sun and scout for lizards/leaves/wind blowing

About: I’ve had my own dogs (and cats) my whole life. When I was young I did Rover full time, and I do it during my free time now. I work in the hospitality industry so my schedule is very flexible! I understand that every animal has an individual personality that needs catering to. I have experience taking care of dogs after surgery, housing dogs, feeding, walking and caring for older dogs and puppies as well. I am hoping to slowly make this more full time. Please let me know if any opportunities you have, I will do my best to cater to your needs as well as your beloved animals needs! I work in the hospitality industry, so there are some days that I work. It changes often though, so I can be pretty flexible with some notice! I have a fenced yard, and a cat who has lots of exposure to new animals. If I am traveling to you, I will cater my care to your dogs specific needs.

About: I have always loved all types of animals. My family has bred, trained, and shown multiple different breeds of dogs. I’m very good and training all different breeds and well known to have the best behaved dogs. If I had it my way I would have a ranch full of all different types of animals.

I no longer have a pet of my own, but wanna fill that void by watching over you alls. I’m pretty open and love to just spend time with animals. I have flexible schedule and can work remotely right now. I can focus on each animals individual timely needs. I’m a pretty ocd individual and like to keep things tidy and clean.

About: Hi! My name is Jade , and I have over 2 years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital caring for pets of all kinds. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, boarding care, nail trims, and making sure animals felt safe, comfortable, and loved while in our care. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve also privately pet sat for families, giving pets personalized attention and care in their home environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I always treat every pet like my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra patience and care, I’m reliable, attentive, and passionate about animals. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pets and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. My experience working at an animal hospital taught me how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. I’m comfortable balancing responsibilities like walks, feeding, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving them the attention and companionship they need throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I make sure pets receive dependable and loving attention as part of my regular routine. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also keep their environment clean, monitor their behavior closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a calm, comfortable space to relax. My experience working in an animal hospital taught me how to handle pets with patience and care while paying attention to their health, comfort, and individual personalities. I treat every pet like family and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s animals.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them. I currently have a small senior dog, my sweet little baby (a Yorkie/Maltese mix), so I’m very familiar with daily care, patience, and paying attention to a pets individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and happy. I also helped care for another pet for about a month, where I kept the owner updated daily with photos and messages so they felt reassured their pet was safe and well cared for. They were very happy with the care and even asked me to watch their pet again. I enjoy going on walks and spending quality time playing with pets, but I also understand the importance of being gentle and patient - especially with older or more sensitive animals. I’m committed to treating every pet like family and providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. Im generally available every day, including evenings and weekends (except Sunday 5-8pm), with most of my time open for walks, playtime, and pet care. I work part-time, but i always comunícate promptly to make sure your pets are cared for reliably. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable enviroment for all pets, whether in my home or theirs. Pets in my care are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and kept on their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I maintain a clean, safe enviroment and supervise pet closely to prevent them from getting into anything harmful. My own small senior dog has a sensitive stomach, so im used to keeping floors and accessible áreas free of any food or objects that could be dangreous. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and happy while they’re in my care.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. i have always had medium sized dogs. I currently have a black lab that I trained when he was a puppy and care for him everyday. I have experience with feeding, training, walking, playing, and giving dogs plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable learning each dog’s personality and routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I have also cared for my grandfathers german shepherd on multiple occasions when he has left town. I'm from Massachusetts so I go to Florida for college and I miss my dog and caring for other dogs will help fill that void. As a nursing student, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I am currently a nursing student at Palm Beach Atlantic University and I have school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with Thursday, Friday and the weekend off. I could always be available after school around 4pm for dinner time feedings or nightly walks. Thursday, Friday and the weekend I am available for breakfast and dinner feedings, walks throughout the day, and house sitting. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make their safety and comfort my top priority. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect their safety. I also respect each pet’s personality and boundaries and give them plenty of attention, affection, and space when needed. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!

“Rebecca is amazing! I had never taken a trip since I got my cat Oscar. He has health issues so I was even more concerned. But after the first day she came to watch him I felt so much better! I had her visit twice a day and she was great with him as well as she gave him his medication no problem. After every visit she sent a report card with his habits and also food consumption plus pictures of him. She covers it all and he absolutely loved her. She also kept my place neat and clean. highly suggest Rebecca and will definitely use her again. Awesome experience thank you Rebecca.”

Kayla was truly amazing! We’ve really appreciated having her care for our pets over the past few weeks! She was kind, attentive, and a pleasure to work with, and we were grateful for the care and attention she gave our animals. Finding someone you feel comfortable welcoming into your home and trusting with your pets is so important, and we were happy to have had her help. She always went above and beyond, and I loved getting the photos of my pets whenever she visited for their potty break. I can't recommend Kayla enough!

Nathalia was so prompt in responding to my request. By the next day we set up a meet and greet and she cared for my boys for 3 days. Nathalia kept me updated consistently through messaging and photos. My youngest boy is a rescue who came from a really bad sitch prior and still suffers from severe anxiety. Nathalia understood his needs and made me feel like she had a great understanding of his needs. I can’t express the gratitude of communication with or without the pups, and that put me at ease. I have never left my boys with anyone and this gave me severe anxiety. Again, Nathalia eased this anxiety by telling me she had a dog with some issues as well, which added to my level of comfort. I really appreciated her care, and would definitely recommend Nathalia and would use her services again if needed. Thank you Nathalia!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - South Palm Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in South Palm Beach is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $44 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 3,941 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across South Palm Beach. 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.

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 South Palm Beach 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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in South Palm Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Palm Beach. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
