About: I've been caring for pets since I was 11 years old, and taking care of animals have always been a big part of my life. I have extensive experience with large and small dogs and am equally comfortable caring for cats. I also had the opportunity to care for pets belonging to U.S. State Department and Embassy families while living in Hanoi, Vietnam, which gave me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and care routines. I am experienced in giving medication to dogs, dogs with special needs and extensive needs and older dogs who sometimes might have medical issues! I'm happy to help with bathing, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I've been bathing my own dogs and cats for years, so I'm comfortable keeping pets clean and comfortable. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks, visiting dog parks (when appropriate), and making sure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. My goal is to build a career in animal care, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to providing a safe, caring, and fun experience for your furry family members! PS. My reviews are on the same day because my account is new so I had my clients do testimonials :) My college classes are online so it doesn’t interfere. I can do part time full time any time. My dog walking care is part or full time as well! I prioritize pet safety and make sure to follow all owner instructions carefully, ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for in my hands.
“Sophia helped me be a first time user of the app and she was very good at communication. Timely with her visits and checking in. I felt at ease in a last minute need for a pet sitter.”
“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”
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.
“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!”
“Stacy was very communicative and trustworthy. I’ve got a cranky old guy and he took to her seemingly very easily and fast. She asked all the right questions and was genuinely interested in making sure that my pets got exactly what I expected and what they needed. I would definitely ask her again to look after my old man. I think he would ask for her again too. :)”
“Katlyn was terrific during the meet and greet. A family emergency caused Katlyn to cancel the rest of the booking, but we hope to have her care for our kitties in the future.”
“Shelley arrived on time and provided good care for my dog. This was a last minute day event and she was very flexible and understanding. I appreciate her help and look forward to working with her in the future.”
About: For the past year I’ve been helping look after my partner’s five very rambunctious Australian Shepherds, and honestly, getting to know all their little quirks has been one of my favorite things. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me. I’m not working right now (starting college this fall!), so for the time being I’ve got plenty of time to give your pet real, focused attention walks, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company. This isn’t just a side gig to me, I actually love it. I treat every home and every pet like they’re special, whether I’m sitting for one night or a whole week. I’ll stick to your routines, keep things clean and calm, and pay close attention to whatever each animal needs. I pick things up quick, and at the end of the day I just want your pet (and you) to trust me.
“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 🐾❤️”
About: I'm great from senior dog care to puppies. I raised puppies from day 1 and adopted dogs and kept them all through their senior years. I am well informed on how to keep up with all aged pups. I've raised and kept dogs all my life. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy caring for animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable attention and care. I care for dogs in clients homes by following their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and making sure you pets feel comfortable and safe while there owner is away. Also treating your pet like family.
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Emily was great! We have a cat with anxiety about being alone for extended periods, and Emily was wonderful with him while we were away. She sent us updates with pictures every day and was even kind enough to bring in our mail. Will be rebooking her again for our next trip.”
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.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Smyrna Beach
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!

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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
