“Samantha was a life saver. We needed someone on very short notice to drop in and let our dog out and she was quick to respond and step in! We will definitely be using her when we need someone to watch our pup in the future!”
“She was amazing!! So helpful. Great communication throughout our vacation. Took excellent care of our baby!! Rebel really liked her. Will continue to use her every time we vacation in the future”
“Shelley was an excellent communicator and good problem-solver. I looked forward to her messages and photos after every visit. I'm so pleased that she took the time to play with the cats and draw out the quieter one. The house looks great - as if no visitor had been here - litter and food areas were neat, clean and trash was removed. Kitties seem very happy and normal - not at all mad that I'd left them for a week! I highly recommend Shelley and the Rover Service.”
“I reached out to Erin with only two days notice and checked on my Domi without even having time to meet us in person. Just one virtual meet-n-greet. What a life saver! ?”
“Sophia came by to meet us first and assisted me with the process. She responds quickly, checks in when she arrives, sends pictures and is patient with us while we learn the process. Yesterday was my first time leaving my dog with a stranger. I felt so confident, I didn’t worry about her at all!”
“Tracie is incredible! 100% trust her with your babies to treat them like their your own. She’s incredible! Very responsive, trustworthy and reliable. Thank you Tracie 🐾❤️”
“She took care of my cat Jack for 4 days, checking in on him twice a day. She did everything I asked of her like feeding and cleaning the litter box, and even went above and beyond with playing with him, brushing him a little, giving him his favorite treats, and taking a bunch of good pictures. I’d highly recommend Katlyn if you have a cat.”
About: I’ve been around all different kinds of animals my whole life! I’ve been taking care of my close friends and families animals for as long as I can remember! This includes experience in house sitting and caring for the animals needs! Animals can’t speak to us verbally so it is important to pay attention to their needs and wants. I take animals seriously and treat all of them how I do mine! I am a server at a restaurant and have a very flexible schedule! My shifts are typically at night and last about 5 hours! I typically have my days open! My personal pets are very spoiled! I have two dogs and I take them on walks, to the park, on the boat, etc. I snuggle them any minute I can! They are my main priority- I treat their needs as I do my own. This also transfers over to my clients pets! Like I’ve previously stated, I treat all animals as I do my own!
About: I have worked with dogs and all types of animals my whole life my last job I was a doggie daycare attendant and had up to 10 dogs in one group making sure they were happy and safe and was also a dog bather working with all breeds and sizes from Saint Bernard to chihuahuas. I also have been dog sitting for family and friends for a long time now. I'm currently not working at the moment so I'm available any day or time to dog or cat sit and can stay the night with them How I Keep Pets Safe and Take Care of Them As a dedicated and caring pet sitter, the safety, comfort, and happiness of the animals in my care are always my top priorities. Whether I’m watching over dogs, cats, or both, I treat each pet as if they were my own. For Dogs I follow their regular routine closely including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and play. I use secure leashes and harnesses on walks and keep a close eye on surroundings to avoid any dangers like aggressive dogs or busy streets. I make sure they stay hydrated, well-fed, and have plenty of attention and exercise based on their energy level and age. I monitor for signs of stress, illness, or discomfort, and I’ll notify the owner right away if anything seems off. I keep doors and gates closed and locked at all times to prevent escapes. For Cats: I respect their individual personalities — giving shy cats space and attention when they’re ready, and playing with the more social ones. I keep litter boxes clean and ensure they have fresh water and food according to the owner’s instructions. I make sure indoor cats stay safely inside, and outdoor access (if allowed) is closely supervised. I give them cozy spots to relax and enrich their day with toys, brushing, or cuddles (if they enjoy it). For all pets, I maintain a calm, loving environment and stick to their normal schedule as much as possible to reduce stress while their owners are away. I also send regular updates and pictures so you know your pets are safe and happy.
“Tamara took wonderful care of our two dogs while we vacationed in New Smyrna Beach. We did not worry about them at all and they were in a good mood when we came back from the beach every afternoon. She was very good at sending me pictures and they seemed to enjoy their outside time. We vacation in New Smyrna Beach every year and will definitely book her services again. Thank you Tamara for taking such good care of Lucy and Luna.”
About: Hi All! Anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals, especially dogs (don't worry I love and adore kitties too)! We always had dogs growing up, from golden retrievers, to labs to hounds. I now have my own hound-mix who is 4 years old and 80 lbs. His name is Keeper and he is a very sweet and friendly dog. I often watch and sit for my boyfriend's 2 year old female German Shepherd. I don't currently have a cat of my own but I have been thinking about adopting one a lot recently. For now I am going to get my cat-fix through Rover. I have experience with dogs big and small. I will treat your pets like my own, and love and care for them while you are away. I have plenty of time to take your pups on long walks and allow them to sniff all the smells.
About: I have helped care for friends and families fur babies over the years. Bathing, babysitting, walking i have done it all for them. I’ve also 🥰 and care for my own dogs. Currently traveling the country in an RV. I would love to help our neighbors in campgrounds who need their pets let out or walked while out of their camper. Looking to work for neighbors in campgrounds who need assistance with letting dogs out to dog park, or go for walk, or just spending time with them.
“Highly recommend for all of your pet sitting needs! I had Leah and Blake come by for a drop-in visit to let my dog out and give him some company. Will definitely be using them again in the future!”
About: I am a dog lover with skills to handle dogs of many personalities and needs. I have owned large breed(german shepherd), and small breed dogs in the past. I have been a go-to for friends and family for pet-sitting over the years. I am able to administer medicine and work with older dogs as well. In addition to dogs, I specifically have experience caring for cats, bunnies, chickens, and more. Whether it be a drop-in visit or walk in a local park, you can have confidence your pet is in good hands. I have a relatively open schedule that allows for pet care in morning, afternoon, and evenings. I am available weekdays and weekends. Most holidays I am available. I am puntual, discreet, and have dependable transportation. I care for pets as I would want my own cared for. I have good communication with owners.
“Stacy does a great job taking care of my two Boston Terrier puppies. She spends good amount of time with the dogs. She takes great photos and she does good check ins.”
“My dog is a challenge to deal with. Emily was able to provide exactly the service I needed, and as a result my pet(s) were alive and well when I returned from a 10 day family trip out of state. Emily communicated well, and was always in touch. I would recommend her and will use her in the future.”
About: I love all animals, but dogs truly have my heart ❤️. My beloved miniature pinscher, my “Hopper Dog,” was my world. I raised him from a tiny puppy, and we shared 16 amazing years together filled with walks, talks, dancing, cuddles, and unconditional love. I miss him every day, and he is the reason I have such a deep appreciation for the special bond we share with our furry companions. I have years of experience caring for dogs with all types of needs, including special dietary requirements, medications, shots, treats, while giving lots of love, hugs, and attention. I enjoy being a trusted part of a dog’s life and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Over the years, I have cared for many friends’ furry babies through drop-in visits, potty breaks, walks, boarding, and in-home sitting. I am grateful to have wonderful clients who trust me with their furry loves! I truly enjoy spending time with each and every one of them and care for them as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and health challenges. I am dependable, honest, trustworthy, and committed to providing compassionate care and plenty of love. I would love the opportunity to welcome more furry clients into my life. I have so much love to give, and I can’t wait to meet your special companion! 💗🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I love providing walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. I am dependable and able to create a routine that fits each pet’s needs, whether that includes medications, special care, or extra cuddles. Caring for animals brings joy to my day, and I love making each furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. 🐾❤️ Whether your fur baby is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, my goal is to make them feel completely pampered, safe, and loved. All the Snuggles: Expect endless cuddles, belly rubs, and kisses. If they love sleeping in bed at night, they are more than welcome to snuggle up with me! Playtime & Fun: I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy with their favorite games and toys. Peace of Mind: You can travel stress-free knowing your pet is receiving dedicated, highly attentive care.
About: Experience volunteering at an animal shelter in Mexico, as well as helping family/friends with their animals. 28 years old, momma to my own fur babies and hoping to fill my spare time with more! Im currently working about 5 days a week as a bartender. A typical weekday for me consists of the gym or the beach in the morning, and then work 3-10pm. My weekend schedule is never the same but it’s either 11-5 or 5-10pm giving me plenty of time for pet care. My cats are indoor only. I’ve had them both since they were kittens and they are now 7 years old. I would be lying if I said they love dogs, but they can tolerate them. I also share a 2 year old rescue dog with my ex who is very friendly, but would most likely not be with me while providing care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Smyrna Beach
We had a last-minute trip come up and needed a sitter on very short notice for our two dogs. Erin was wonderful. She was able to accommodate us right away and even fit in a meet and greet beforehand. It was immediately clear how much she loves dogs. She was warm, professional, attentive, and sent regular updates throughout our time away. We felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing our dogs were in such caring hands. Highly recommend Erin!
I had Daniela come again while I was away on a longer trip...I was nervous to leave my cats this time as 2 had developed some UTI issues just before I left. Daniela was so attentive and caring it really helped to know they were all in such great hands. She gave me regular updates so I could pass on to the vet on my return and ease my stress. I'm looking forward to having her back again when I need to go away!
First time using Rover and the first time we’ve needed a pet sitter. We hit the jackpot with Celeste! Right from the start she set our minds at ease and proved during every visit we could rely on her to take excellent care of our older cat. Needless to say, we could never have enjoyed our 3-week vacation without her.
Return customers for Sophia, and another great experience! She is very communicative and awesome with our dogs, who can be a handful. Sophia is great to work with, and even with short notice she was very accommodating. We will continue to use Sophia any time we go away.
Paige was phenomenal. She was kind, personable, trustworthy, and loved our animals like her own. We are so grateful we found her. She is hands-down the best pet sitter in town. I could not recommend her enough if you’re looking for a pet sitter in New Smyrna. She was always on time, sent the best photos and got to know our animals. Paige is so sweet and kind and caring and was able to cater to all of their personal needs!! 10000000/10 !!
Paige was FANTASTIC! She was very communicative, reliable and took excellent care of our fur baby, Ranger, while we were gone. Select truly cares about animals and if shows in how she cares for the pets she watches. We will definitely be using Paige again when we need a sitter for Ranger!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,287 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Smyrna Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Smyrna Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Smyrna Beach. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
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.
