“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!”
“Nicole did a great job looking after our Marley while we were on vacation. She was very attentive to Marley‘s to our requests. Every time she sent a picture of Marley she had a smile on her face. We knew Marley was while taking care of. We will definitely request Nicole the next time we go on vacation.”
“we hired Taylor to watch over our 2 elderly puppies while we went on a cruise, and she was wonderful. she went above and beyond, even though she didn’t have to! our dogs have health issues and despite this, she was patient and we came back from our trip to happy dogs. she kept in touch, and let us know how they were while we were away. everyone knows that sometimes things just happen outside our control, but i felt safer knowing she was there with them. would definitely hire her again!”
“All care requested was met with flying colors! My fur babes were in the best care so happy when I returned home like they had been on vacation too! I got photos everyday of their goofy sweet faces”
“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.”
“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: 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’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was about 11. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to feed, play with and walk their dogs. I would love to be your next option!! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to visit your house and cater to your pet’s everyday needs and love! I can do House Sitting whenever, as I don’t mind driving to and from work. I will be attending college soon, so I would be available MonTues before 7:30am and after 2pm, and WedThu before 2pm and around 8pm. I have a fenced yard and two pups at home that do not discriminate! They have a feeding schedule that will not interfere with your pet’s, and we have plenty of toys to go around!
“This is our second time using Kacie, but the first time for house sitting. Once again, she did a wonderful job and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and took good care of everything.”
About: I am well versed on various training, dog sitting, boarding and walking methods for our canine family members. Gained hands on experience of training and handling with my 11 year old GSD. I personally researched for years and only then successfully trained my current 10 month old GSD, using my other 11 year old GSD as a control. I will offer free consults to clients in need of repeat services in order to determine the tailored needs for your dog. Always willing to go above and beyond for my love of dogs. Excel with all dogs and utilize communication with the client in order to fully understand the specific qualities, needs and wants of the dog in order to organize and manage effective walks/boarding/training. I have been living in the area for over 20 years and know all of the dog-friendly parks or areas that provide a clean and safe environment offering an array of enrichment. Knowledgeable in training and recognizing animal body language used to establish positive communication with the dogs. I can not only improve the lives of the dog, but also clearly communicate and empower the owner with training tips to continue effective conditioning for a well-trained dog. My remote position of over 5 years as a Sr Mortgage Underwriter was recently moved into the office (Tampa) and decided to take time off. Therefore, I am available 24/7 and mainly focusing on the transition into the Dog Walking/Boarding/Training business. *HOUSE SITTING SERVICE: Active as a less expensive alternative to booking numerous Drop-In visits with multiple dogs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orange City
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.
Samuel was the first sitter we ever felt comfortable with to leave on a VERY LONG 29 day sit. He did an amazing job. Walked our dog 3 times a day without fail. Sent photos of them hanging out together. Asked questions when her behavior got a bit odd--which is normal for her. So we were able to reassure him she was fine. The house looked as good as we left it and he even notified us of a sprinkler problem so it could be fixed. We rescued our dog at age 11 and she is reactive and he handed her exceptionally. We highly recommend him.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
