“We absolutely love Melanie! This was our 2nd time using her (first time for overnights and she did 3 days/2nights at our house). She’s an incredible overnight dog sitter — she sent us tons of updates and photos, played with our dogs, and followed all our requests to the letter. Our pups were happy and well-cared for, and our house was spotless when we returned. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Lucy was great with our dog and cats. She was courteous, responsive, and communicated with us throughout our trip. Our pets took to her immediately-even the shy ones. We could tell she took good care of them by how well adjusted they were when we returned. Don’t hesitate to book Lucy if you’re looking for a great caretaker.”
“Natalie was wonderful. We were in town vacationing & we felt very comfortable leaving our little Frenchie with her. We had never used a sitter or Rover, & she couldn’t have made it easier. 100% recommend!”
About: Hello, my name is Anne, but you can call me Annie! I’m 24 years old and recently earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida. I’ll soon be working toward my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My passion for helping others extends to animals, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, when I got my first dog, and since then I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pets in both professional and personal settings. I’ve worked at an exotic pet store and at two dog daycares, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience with basic training and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Every pet has their own unique personality, and getting to know what makes them feel happy, safe, and loved is my favorite part of pet care. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax with a calm companion, I’ll care for them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. I am a college graduate now pursuing my masters in mental health counseling online so I have plenty of time to dedicate to giving your pets love. I live in a two story home with a fenced in back yard and a screened in porch. I currently have an almost 2 year old golden retriever that loves other dogs. While I do not provide boarding at this time, I am willing to bring my dog per clients' request if your dog needs a friend!
“This was the first time we have used a service like this. We were a bit nervous as our pets are our babies. But Aubrey was wonderful and really put us at ease. We were gone for 9 days and she took great care of our pets (dog and cat). They were well fed, and were very happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Aubrey and will definitely use her again the next time we take a trip!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8. I had both cats and dogs. I’ve had experience with family pets as heavy as 90 pounds and cats as furry like Persian cats or Sphynx cats which might be a challenge to tend for? I am currently working part time and I can schedule my hours accordingly. That gives me more time to play and tend to your furry family members. I prioritize safety and the comfortability of clients and their pets. When given specific needs for your environment I strive to follow all the requirements to ensure not only the safety but the security of taking care of your pet. I also make sure that other safety precautions/measures are taken when I am within the clients home and when I leave.
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 was a vet tech for 12 plus years. I left the field and started working from home. I myself have 2 dogs and a cat. They are my babies. I will treat your like they are mine too. I have experience giving medications and with special needs dogs. I work full time but do work from home. I work M-F and have weekends free. I prefer to watch pets in their own homes. I will follow all instructions you give and treat yours like mine. Your pets will be safe and secure with me and will enjoy their time with me
“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!!!”
“Mia stayed over and took care of our dogs while we were out of town. She adhered to their schedule and looked after them just as we would have. Our dogs were happy and well cared for. Mia is very reliable and diligent. Her love for dogs is evident, and I greatly appreciate her services when needed.”
About: I am skilled in basic pet care, including exercising, sensory enrichment play time, feeding/watering, bathing/cleanliness, and administering medication. I have taken care of animals my entire life, including cats, dogs, and several types of exotic animals. I am currently working part time in Hospitality, so my availability is subject to inquiry. Most days and nights, I am available to board several animals. I am very flexible and receptive to your pets’ individual needs, and can accommodate most requests (bathroom break at a certain time, feeding schedule, med schedule, etc.) Please let me know if there is a special request and I will do my best to honor it. Your pet will be cared for like my own Mr. Winston! I treat pets like family members. I am a loving caregiver, as evidenced by my own care of my dog, Winston. Your animal will be cared for as if they were mine. If anything, they may even be spoiled a little during their stay!
About: Hello all, I have a vast amount of experience within the animal industry. I have my bachelors degree in Animal Science and worked as a veterinary technician for many years. I absolutely love animals, big or small, and enjoy taking care of our “fur babies”. I have knowledge within senior care, puppy care, medication administration, cat and kitten care, litter box cleanliness, and more. I currently work from home, my schedule is whatever I make it to be. I am absolutely free to care for your pets in whatever way that you desire. No job is too big or too small. When taking care of your pets, I will take care of them just as my own. I am meticulous for owner care instructions and directions that “fur parents” leave. When in my home, your animal will be treated like my own, they will be allowed to play freely and have plenty of breaks for bathroom sessions. If a pet is not in my home, I will spend ample time with ones pet in their home and dedicate time throughout the day that allows the pet to feel enriched and comfortable while their parents are away.
“Brittany is an amazing dog sitter!! She’s so sweet and put my mind at ease right away. Brittany loves animals, she took great care of my pup and my house. She also took pics and videos so I could see what my baby was up to. Don’t hesitate, you can trust her with your fur baby! My vaca was stress free knowing my dog was in great hands with Brittany.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for both a dog and a cat. I understand pet behavior, routines, and individual personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to ensure each pet gets consistent, attentive care. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I follow consistent feeding and activity routines, provide enrichment and affection, and maintain a clean environment. I also have a fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor play
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 5 years. Been taking care of my own dog for a little over 10 years. I work full time during the week but am completely open on most weekends (Fridays staring at 3). I am free for dog walking after 3 during the week. I do work in the school system so I am available more during the summer 🙂 I live an active life style and love to walk outdoors with animals. I am comfortable with reactive dogs as I have had to take care of one for 10 years. I know what to do in situations that may cause dogs discomfort. I enjoy animals snuggles and making sure they are provided with the most love 🙂

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - DeLand
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 2,275 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:
- 92% 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.
