“Maricel was absolutely amazing with Archie! 🥰 This was our first time leaving him with someone new since we moved to FL and he can be very cautious and anxious while we’re away. She was incredibly patient with him and gave him the time and space he needed to feel comfortable. By the end of the stay, he had completely warmed up to her and was happy and relaxed! She followed all of his instructions and routine, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent us lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for Archie, and that means everything to us. 💜🐾 We’re so grateful for how well she cared for him and would absolutely trust her with Archie again. Highly recommend Maricel to anyone looking for someone patient, attentive, caring, and trustworthy with their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This team was amazing and taking care of our son with such a short notice, and I cannot wait to look again and feel the confidence that I had this time with leaving my pet with a good caregiver.”
“Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!”
“Cydney did a wonderful job with our two large Labradors. She took them for walks, let Winnie swim in the pool, followed diet restrictions, and even let them sleep with her. She was amazing, and we'd highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur babies.”
“Calvin was great! Took great care of our house, took the initiative to do some cleaning (laundry, vacuum, etc.), and took amazing care of our girl! We can tell she had a great time with him and was treated exceptionally well. 100% recommend and will definitely rebook!”
“We hired Katelyn last minute as we decided to leave the dogs behind this time. She was very prompt with the meet up and extremely professional and had excellent communication skills. We had her house sit as our dogs are giant babies and she was awesome! Both dogs did not seem bothered by our absence. We will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have years of experience caring for dogs. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and follow your pet’s normal routine. I’m also a big picture person, so you can expect plenty of photo updates while you’re away! 📸 My goal is simple: happy pets and worry-free owners! ❤️ I work full-time during the week, but I have a very flexible schedule that I make. I’m up for lunch time drop ins, evening visits, walks, and weekend care. I’ll keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always know when I’m available! I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the routine they’re most comfortable with. I’ll always follow your feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.
“Allstar dog sitter!! able to manage both my crazy pups efficiently and with care! Would def recommend! You can expect updates and lots of love for your doggies when you’re away!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life! I taught both of my late dogs how to sit, give paw, and wait until I say yes to eat their food. I love animals more than humans and I know I’d treat your pets like they’re my own! I am currently only working 1 day out of the week (Sunday’s) I work in a beautiful nursery at my local church. Monday through Saturday I am completely free all day and night. I have set feeding times for my two cats, I feed them both their own bowls of wet food in the morning, and a scoop of dry around lunch time, that they can then snack on throughout the day. Whenever I’m out I always leave on a video of birds for them to watch so they don’t get bored (they love it)!! They have their own water fountain that is cleaned every week. When I had dogs I would take them out to use the bathroom every 2-3 hours and I would feed them one scoop of dry mix in the morning and one right before I eat my own dinner. I always cuddled my companions and gave them all the love they could ever ask for!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of all different shapes, sizes and kinds. I’ve had a few ferrets growing up as well as dogs and cats. I have been responsible for walking them, feeding them and bathing them from time to time. I’m currently working part-time so I would have adequate enough time to play, walk and cuddle with cute puppies and kittens of all sizes and ages. I live in an unfenced in house with plenty of space for walking and running around in the backyard. The house itself is also pretty spacious.
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Sharon was wonderful with our dog and took great care of our home as well. It was obvious from the meet-and-greet that she genuinely loves dogs and gets great joy from spending time with and caring for them. She communicated with us throughout our trip, sending photos, videos and updates. This gave us great piece of mind and made the vacation that much more relaxing, which we truly appreciated. We give Sharon our highest recommendation and would absolutely have her pet- and house-sit for us again. She is warm, responsible and takes great pride in what she does.”
About: I’ve grown up raising puppies and kittens with my mom as she used to foster animals, so I would like to do more since every pet is a new experience. I’m available 24/7 when needed. I’ve had experience giving animals oral medications and bathroom stimulation (more for babies) if that helps at all. At home, I have 5 cats at the moment. My main goal is just to make sure they’re happy and loved and well-taken of, so I’m here to do whatever you ask of me. One of the most fun things is taking a dog to the pet store to pick out their own toys! Also, getting some exercise in and and being able to afford gas are just way more enjoyable with a furry friend :) I walk and feed the animals multiple times a day, or if I'm sitting in home then I just do my own thing while watching them in between walks. I will be working on school online starting in August. I can send pictures to let you know everything is being taken care of if that is something you need. I actually love taking animal photos. When I do walks I can fill up food or water if needed.
About: I have 6 babies of my own. I love and cherish fur babies like they are my own and I will absolutely give them all the love in the world. I work at a high school as a paraprofessional I could walk dogs after work at 4 and weekends all day long and summers I’m free all day everyday My babies sleep and go everywhere with me, as if they are human children. Any fur baby in my presence will feel nothing but love and care from me
About: I would be a great choice to care for dogs and puppies because of my professional experience with animal care, working at an animal hospital and dog daycare setting, my genuine love and tenderness for our furry friends, and my patience and good energy with all animals. I have also lived on a farm and worked with my best buddy pup- Bella the border collie - So full of energy! I can be at residence early in the morning and late at night as the pets needs require. I can also do any overnights and extended stays as needed. I have had experience with other animals as well. I have had experience with medication , including insulin , IV liquids and pilling. I am very easy to contact via text or call on my cell or email if that is preferred. I have professional references available on request and am clean cut and very friendly.
About: I’ve had animals in the house since I was 9 years old such as cats, dogs, turtles, fish, and more! I truly love animals and would love to get to know yours🙂.

I’ll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I’m available for boarding on weekends and Monday’s, and after 4pm Tuesday-Friday.🙂 Although I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard, I do take that as an advantage to get out and have some nice long walks with your pet, that way we both can get a workout in🙂.
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 enjoy animals snuggles and making sure they are provided with the most love 🙂

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orange City
Kristi took great care of our two needy chihuahuas and even made friends with our pup who is most suspicious of new people! By the end of her stay she even had Misty begging for belly rubs. She kept us updated while we were gone and administered ear drops, which is no easy feat. We will definitely ask her back in the future.
Jennifer was amazing! She had great communication and sent pictures. The house was left in just how we left it and our dogs were not overly excited to see us, which meant they got lots of love and attention. We have rescue senior dogs with anxiety, and who need frequent bathroom breaks, and Jennifer and her daughter did a great jobs with them.
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!
Tammy is an absolute gem. She has a heart of gold and obvious love for animals. My animals were so well taken care of and my mind was at ease while away because of her regularly sending me updates and photos throughout the day. She even was up for giving my 12 year old dog his multiple medications, which is no was task. Not to mention, she made his bday special with a balloon, card, and party hat. Tammy is truly a treasure and our new favorite Rover sitter (and we have had lots of good experiences on Rover, but she is the best!) thank you again, Miss Tammy! Love, Ozzie & Mushu
We hired Katelyn last minute as we decided to leave the dogs behind this time. She was very prompt with the meet up and extremely professional and had excellent communication skills. We had her house sit as our dogs are giant babies and she was awesome! Both dogs did not seem bothered by our absence. We will definitely use her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Orange City is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $68 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Orange City 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 Orange City 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 Orange City 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orange City. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
