About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I’ve always had a dog in my house. From small dogs to big dogs. I have a friendly chocolate lab and she is the sweetest. I babysat all through high school and now I graduated and have been watching family dogs and friends dogs for a while. Hi! I’m a nursing major at Daytona State College and currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to give your pets plenty of love and attention. 🐾❤️ I absolutely LOVE dogs and have hands-on experience working in dog training and daycare facilities. Through my work, I’ve cared for dogs with all different personalities, needs, and routines, including handling medications and paying close attention to important care instructions. I’m comfortable with everything from playtime and walks to keeping pets on their normal schedules and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and take their care seriously. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the care, attention, and affection they deserve! 🐶💕 I have pets of my own and have experience caring for dogs at all different stages of life. I have an 8-year-old Chocolate Lab, so I’m very comfortable with the patience and attention that comes with caring for an older dog. I’m also currently raising and training my 8-month-old Goldendoodle puppy, which has given me lots of hands-on experience with puppy care, training, potty routines, crate training, exercise, and keeping a young dog entertained and engaged. Between caring for my own dogs and my previous experience working in dog daycare and training facilities, I’m comfortable providing care for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine helps your pet feel most comfortable. 🐾❤️

I Can give love and grooming so that you can give your dog to me and enjoy all Daytona has to offer. If you are a local I can give daily exercise and dog walking service. I can take you and your pet to disappearing island for just a fun day out. If you are arriving by boat I can provide transportation pick up service at the harbor. I live just quarter mile away. I am recently retired and available most everyday and night. I like to walk and live steps away from the Sweet Heart trail that goes the length of Daytona Beach downtown area. I have a fenced in yard, lots of shade and walking trails close by. My air conditioned house is pet friendly with cozy beds and healthy snacks.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, especially dogs. Some as small as my mom‘s Chihuahua, to dogs as big as my sister‘s great mastiffs. Ive cared for all types of pets and would love to meet many more! Recently I’ve started working part time but I’m open to work around that! I try to be as flexible as I can. If you’d like me to drop in to feed, walk, or watch your pet, I’ll be available. Whatever type of routine your pets have I’m down to follow it. Lots of pets I’ve worked with have specific eating routines, as well as walking routines, I’m here to learn what works best for you.
About: I have struggled personally while trying to find reliable care for my kitties on rover once we moved to FL - I am happy to be able to help out other cat families in the area! I have three cats, from a 14 year old senior to a 7 month old kitten. I am familiar and comfortable administering medications (our 7 month old has twice daily oral medication) and treatments (our 14 year old girl has feline asthma). I know how to be patient with cats and respect their space, while still ensuring they are getting the care and attention they need while their pet parents are away. I can house sit or do drop ins and am happy to come by prior to booking to ensure it's a good fit for everyone! I can't wait to meet your cat! I am working at the moment but average about 20 days off a month or more that I would love to get to know you and your pets by caring for them! I have a very flexible schedule and am very reliable. I have a fenced in yard and will be able to give your pet all the attention and care they need! I am able to crate, walk, wash, feed, administer medications etc however you need.
About: I've taken on a variety of pet care jobs throughout the last two decades. I am experienced in caring for animals of all ages, including senior pets and babies. I am pursuing my Master's degree in Environmental Science, so I've recently signed up for Rover to work part-time alongside my studies. I am trustworthy, organized, and responsible, so you can ensure your fur-baby is in the best hands while you are away from home. I study and spend most days at home. I am very flexible for routine sitting and daily pop-ins. I do not have a set work schedule, which provides the freedom to be available when needed. I put trust, responsiveness, and respect first while looking after a pet. Trusting me with your fur-baby means I am responsible for maintaining active communication with you. I respect that I am performing a service and will treat it with professionalism.
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with a safe, cozy home and a fenced-in yard where pups can run and play. I share my space with my 2.5 year old golden retriever, who is friendly and full of energy! The perfect playmate for visiting dogs! Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime in the yard, or just some cuddles on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog like my own. I can host dogs of all sizes and ages, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions to keep your pup comfortable. I work from home, which means I’m around to give plenty of love and attention. I go on walks twice a day and enjoy playing ball in the yard during breaks. My golden retriever, Pepper, is sweet and gentle — she loves making new friends and gets along with all dogs I provide a safe, loving environment where your dog can feel at home. With a fenced yard, daily walks, and my gentle golden retriever, Pepper, your pup will get plenty of play, attention, and care. I follow each dog’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away

Kathleen (Kara) to us, was absolutely fabulous. Rosie adored her and is now.looming for her. She sent photos daily. Checked in often with updates. Left my home cleaner than I left it to her. She is reliable, respectful and more important great with my Rosie! Definitely would recommend her.k
Paige was amazing! She responded promptly to my initial inquiry and continued to be extremely helpful and patient throughout the booking process, the actual dog sitting, and even afterward. She is professional and passionate. She clearly LOVES animals and is very sweet and attentive to them. Our lab puppies had a blast with her. She sent us pics and videos so we’d be updated. I have nothing negative to say about Paige. She gave us total peace of mind for our day away from our pups, and we are very grateful.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Smyrna Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Smyrna Beach on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 723 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Smyrna Beach. 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 New Smyrna Beach 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 New Smyrna Beach 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 New Smyrna 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!
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.

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.
