“Maricel was great with our 5 month old puppy! She was super attentive and kept us thoroughly updated on our date night. Our puppy got lots of snuggles, play time and treats. We would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“This was our first long trip in a while, that had us mostly outside the country. Mia stayed in communication, reached out with questions and took good care of our girl Pearl and our home. Thank you.”
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.
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've cared for dogs through every stage of life—from helping with a senior Labrador to raising my two Golden Retrievers. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own dogs. I specialize in dogs with high energy, anxiety and medication tracking. I'm an active dog lover who walks my dogs twice daily and enjoys taking them on runs. My dogs always come first, and I believe every pet deserves plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my dog-friendly home. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play, exercise, and explore while being supervised.
About: Animals have always been apart of my life and to me they are little gifts from God. They teach us how to love and how to be kind to others. My experience with animals range from taking care of multiple cats including an older diabetic cat which I gave insulin shots. I have raised yorkies, goldens and duchsands but I really do love all breeds of dogs. I have cared for birds, turtles and bunnies as well. I currently rescued a paralyzed kitten and trained myself to care for this sweet baby by learning to express his bladder and feed him a special diet that will allow him to have a better quality of life. I can promise you that I will love and care for your animals as if they were my own and will respect and honor all pet owners and their wishes for their animals so when you are away from your fur babies you know that they are being cared for by the best. I am a retired Librarian, my schedule is open to provide care for all types of animals when needed at your convenience and I am adaptable. I have a medium sized fenced yard, I live near beautiful Gemini Springs park for walks and fresh air. I have a separated personal pet room for boarding other pet so they feel safe in a new area with lots or toys and soft blankets.
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.”
“Hailey was so awesome! She treated our puppy like she was her own, and even taught her tricks and gave her special treats. Our dog was in great spirits and better behaved when we got back from our trip than when we left. Hailey even brought in our mail, took out our garbage, and fed our fish. It was so wonderful. We would have Hailey back anytime, and I’m sure our pup would love to see her. Thank you so much, Hailey!”
About: I have worked as a pet sitter for 3 years taking care of various types of animals in people's homes before moving to Florida. I walked, fed, cleaned and documented everything that was done. We provided very personal service to our clients. I am flexible and available anytime. When not pet sitting I am taking care of our animals on our small farm, this allows me to keep a very open schedule. I treat everyone's home with absolute respect and courtesy. I am very comfortable with alarm and garage codes and document everything I do with your pet. I am willing to take short videos with the time spent with your pet to ensure you see their happiness.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10; anywhere from pet sitting to having pets of my own. I kept cats well brushed, watered, and their litter boxes/area clean and dogs well cared for by going for walks, playtime, nap time, brushing teeth, and bathing. I currently work a flexible job from home so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I am typically available everyday except I am away for several hours on Sundays. I may be able to board/home sit/ walk your pet on Sundays, they would just be alone for several hours until I get home. I have two indoor cats who are happy as long as they have a clean litter box and bathroom/food area, water to drink out of a faucet, brushed clean fur, and a quiet place to sleep. Heath will most likely play with your kitty once he gets more comfortable and Lucky will most likely ignore your cat. I also have a 2 year old goldendoodle who loves to meet new people and dogs. When I am not entertaining your dog, Winston sure will be if they want him to. If your dog is uninterested, Winston knows to leave him/her be.
“Benjamin took amazing care of our little dog. Our dog immediately gravitated to Benjamin upon meeting. We received periodic updates and photos which we greatly appreciated from Benjamin when he watched our dog, would definitely recommend and would definitely work with him again in the future.”
“We had a great experience with Jordan! Jordan was on time, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent plenty of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and happy. We really appreciated the communication and attention to detail. We would definitely book with Jordan again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orange City
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!
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 October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $69 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,464 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orange City. 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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
