“Our dogs love having Nicole come over and stay with them. She enjoys her time with them as much as they do her. She is a wonderful sitter, and we would highly recommend her to friends and family.”
“Anne was able to help me out while I was in a pinch, had a sitter bail out on day 2 of 6 of my vacation and she was able to take care of the dog with no headache for me. She sent picture updates of the dog and also took great care of him. I highly recommend this sitter! Thank you!”
“Katie was great with Angel! Katie and Angel quickly became friends which we were happy to see since Angel does not normally warm up to new people. Katie was also very prompt and polite. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Natalie took care of 3 dogs, 1 cat and fed the koi fish in the pond for 5 days. One 14 month Great Dane "puppy", 2.5 year old lab Mix and a 17+ year old toy fox terrier who needs extra attention. Plus Mica 1+ the cat "dog" who is easy care. No litter box required since I have a doggy door. She stayed in my home and wasn't gone more than a few hours but 1 day. The big ones got to go to their beloved dog park most days and she left the home clean. I have to say, having outdoor and indoor (only put them on if she wasn't there) cameras helped me have an understanding when someone was in the house and the frequency. Definitely provided piece of mind. She sent pictures some of the days and they looked amazing. She did a good job for a complicated sitting event and a highly excitable 110 GD girl, especially when she gets to go outside. Thank you!”
“Maricel was amazing! She took very good care of our animals while we were away and kept us updated on how they were doing and things they did, and also sent pictures. We will definitely be using Maricel again! ❤️”
About: I have 3 years of veterinary experience with dogs and cats but a lifetime of love/passion for animals. I’d be happy to give you peace of mind that your fur babies are well cared for. Due to my work schedule & having fur babies of my own, I am available on weekends to be sure your pets are safe and happy. I’d be glad to do a meet n greet with you & your fur babies to be sure we’re a good fit. I want to be sure you’re comfortable and they are too! I’m very reliable, have great attention to detail and time management.
About: Hi! My name is Brandy! I have a certificate for zoo and domestic animal care from yavapai college in Arizona. I am also a dog owner of 11 years. I have certified both my dogs through the petsmart training courses. I have learned a lot through school and owning dogs of my own and have always had a passion for animals. Thanks so much for considering me for your furry babies! I am a server working part time and am looking for a way to make a little extra money on the side doing something I love! I am available for dog walking Monday-Sunday anytime before 2:30 and available Monday-Wednesday for overnights or whatever you may need as those are my days off. I will not be able to board any animals as I have a bit of a reactive border collie at my house but am available to come to your house for your needs
About: I have cared for animals my entire life. I was raised in a zoo and can help with your furry or scaled extended family. I’m a full time high school teacher who would like to help others this Summer. I look forward to meeting you and your loved one(s) soon! I am a local High School teacher and will be out of school June 1-July 31 and would like to help out my neighbors with their pets while I have the time. I am a responsible person who will treat your precious beings and home with loving care and respect. I take my job seriously as my cat and dog mean the world to me, and I would only trust them with someone who would love them as their own. I can provide this for yours, too!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have always had a passion for pets. I’ve owned two dogs and currently have two cats, so I understand the love, patience, and responsibility that come with caring for animals every day. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets by feeding them, giving fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I know that every pet has a different personality, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel happy and cared for. Whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, or just wants someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, dependable hands. I’m currently a student at the University of Central Florida and attend classes in person two days a week. I also work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to care for pets throughout the day. I live in New Smyrna Beach and can provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet like one of my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have had a lifelong love for animals and have been a pet owner for many years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. My passion for animals and their well-being has only grown stronger with each and every pet I have had the honor of caring for. I have the sweetest fur babies, a lab and a husky, and they would love to have a companion. I understand the importance of providing proper care and attention to pets as my pups are very special to me and have a strong desire to turn my passion for animals into a career as a professional pet sitter. I understand that leaving your pet with a stranger can be stressful, which is why I am determined to establish a strong and trustful relationship with my clients before any sitting services are scheduled. I will also keep open communication with the pet owners throughout the process to ensure that their furry friends are comfortable and happy in my care. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of finding someone who you can trust to care for your beloved pets while you are away. I am reliable and responsible, and will always put the needs of your pets first. I am also flexible and can work with you to create a care plan that fits your pet's specific needs. I am fully committed to providing the highest quality of care for each and every pet I work with, and I am confident that my love and passion for animals will make me a great pet sitter. I am excited about the opportunity to care for your pets and provide you with the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby and attend to their needs. I also have extra crates if needed. My pups love’s going to the fenced doggie park in our apartment complex and we have two parks onsite. And they also enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood.
“Sharon was incredible!!! She accepted our last minute house sitting request to watch my puppy & mom’s senior dog at a hotel we stayed at while we went to a family wedding. We were so happy with Sharon once we met her and she gave plenty of updates on how the two boys were doing while we were gone for about 6 hours. Love her energy, she loves dogs & was so nice! Felt very comfortable with her watching them while we were gone and would definitely use again. Highly recommend!!!”

I wish this app would let me give 10 stars because Katie was absolutely amazing with our boys and kitties! She sent me regular updates, pictures and videos! I knew they were in great hands with her and I think our golden boys might like her more than us now lol! I will be using her again whenever I can!
Anne was able to help me out while I was in a pinch, had a sitter bail out on day 2 of 6 of my vacation and she was able to take care of the dog with no headache for me. She sent picture updates of the dog and also took great care of him. I highly recommend this sitter! Thank you!
Ashley was amazing with our fur babies. She went above and beyond to make sure there needs were met and went above my expectations. She will definitely be the number one person I reach out to when going out of town and need a dog sitter or someone to just watch our home. Would recommend her to anyone to watch there animals!
This is my 2nd time booking Mallory as a house sitter with my 2 kitties. She’s very communicative and gives multiple updates throughout the stay which makes being away just a little bit easier! She was able to continue their routines and even give medicine to one of my kitties. She has left my house in great shape both times. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - DeLand
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in DeLand on Rover is $44.4 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 2,205 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across DeLand. 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 DeLand 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 DeLand 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 DeLand 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 DeLand. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
