“Laura is amazing: she was the first person we trusted to stay with our baby puppy and older dog, and I felt 100% comfortable the entire time. Laura is an excellent communicator, kept me fully updated the entire time I was gone from the house, and she came prepared with her own supplies to walk and care for the pups (I was so impressed). Thank you Laura!!”
“This was our first time using Kat! She is wonderful. She is professional, kind and added a calm presence to our babies! She stayed in our home, kept it spotless and gave our babies love and attention while we were away. Pics and videos kept us updated! Highly recommend!!! Thank you for loving our crew!”
“Damian went above and beyond for our boys while we were out of town with a last minute request. His updates were great and ample. I never had to wonder how they were doing. I would definitely hire him again. I’m sure the boys were wondering where their new friend was when we came home.”
“Kirk did a super job watching my dogs on Friday and Saturday. He walked them, took them on a golf cart ride and gave them loads of attention. He was flexible with my schedule and came over early both nights. We will definitely use him again for dog care.”
“William was wonderful to my fur babies. He kept me informed with pictures and videos. He even went as far as bringing them a very special treat, which looked yummy enough for me to eat! I will definitely have William back to stay with my pups.”
“Averi is a wonderful house sitter and person. We are so fortunate to have found her since we will not leave our dog (Bettis) with just anyone. We absolutely recommend anyone to use her to watch your dog.”
About: I have worked as a petsitter both on and off of Rover for over 8 years now, providing loving and safe care for dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. I am currently a law student in the area looking to make some extra cash to pay off student loans. Expect trustworthy and communicative service. Please inquire for further information or if your pet has specific needs that I can address.
“Kristy did a wonderful job looking after my dog, Romeo. I felt comfortable going out of town for a few days knowing she would make sure he had his walks, food/water, play time, and love while I was away. Romeo was safe in her care and he was able to follow his normal routine in his own home which was a much better experience than boarding him. Kristy is kind, patient, and trustworthy. My home was kept tidy and she even vacuumed dog hair a couple of times. She was timely and thorough in everything I asked her to do. It was a pleasant surprise and so nice of her to send pictures and videos of Romeo, too! I will definitely be counting on her again in the future the next time I need someone to walk Romeo or look after him for a few days. He loved her and now they have made a new friendship. This was my first time using Rover, so I really didn't know what to expect. It was nice to work out the details with Kristy in a way that was comfortable for us all. She is flexible and understanding. Thank you for doing what you do to keep our loved pets safe in your care.”
“Jessica was Amazing! She was very attentive to both my cats & spent time with them. My Cooper wasn't feeling well, so he would hide but she made sure to check on him & see him before she left for the day and let me know how he was feeling & eating. She sent me lots of pictures and updates everyday which made me feel at ease, we were gone a week for a cruise. I would recommend her for any of your fur-babies needs. I will definitely have Jessica & Chevy over again to play with my kitties, they're a blessing.”
“Brittney was awesome with my house full of fur babies. It takes so much anxiety out of my trips away to know I have someone dependable to stay at our home. She went above and beyond expectation in that she not only stuck to their everyday walking schedules, feeding schedules, medication schedules, and various special instructions for a couple of the pets…but she she also helped me out with watering a plant I was concerned about and even offering to stay longer if I needed her to. I would definitely recommend her…My pets really felt comfortable with her and I hope to use her again in the near future. Thanks Brittany! 5 ⭐️’s!!!!”
“Nicole kept us updated and was communicative the entire time we were away, and we came home to an absolutely spotless house and a happy pup! This was our first time leaving our new puppy, but our minds were at ease and she was in such good hands that we were able to enjoy our trip. I would hire Nicole again in a heartbeat and we were so thankful!”
About: I love fur babies of all sizes, ages, and breed’s!! I can’t remember a time that there wasn’t a dog or cat in my house, if not multiple. I unfortunately lost my previous precious babies within 2 months of each other almost 3 years ago due to their ailments. I adopted them when they were about the same age and that sadly led to them becoming old and sick together. I had 2 dogs, Pancho and Lulu, that had kidney disease along with chronic arthritis. Pancho also had vestibular and Lulu also had dementia. They were on prescription diets as well as medications and supplements that needed to be given at specific times. When Pancho would relapse with vestibular, he needed to be walked with a special harness which I am very grateful for and familiar with. Lulu’s age unfortunately got the best of her so I am also used to laser and acupuncture therapy as well as simply letting them know that it’s OK to potty inside or forget what they were doing. I can’t imagine what their minds are going through. I also had two cats, Miracle and Elvyra. Miracle was diabetic which involved a strict schedule of prescription feeding and medications, including insulin. Elvyra was in heart failure, had vestibular, and was asthmatic. She was also on a strict schedule of a prescription feeding along with oral and topical medications. I had to check her breathing everyday so I have an app (given to me by my vet) and am still very familiar with noticing signs of distress. I currently have an elder cat, Maggie, that has hyperthyroidism and arthritis. She started off as a foster, but when I learned about her ailments it seemed like it was meant to be that she stayed with me. She has progressed so much since being on the correct diet and medications. While I definitely spoil her, I couldn’t be happier that she’s succeeding the way she is. I also currently have an outside cat, Kitty. His mother unfortunately after caring for him his entire 18 years of life decided to move away and not take him with her. I took it upon myself to take care of him. While he didn’t like anyone before except his mother, which is completely understandable given his history, he has grown to love and trust me. It took several months and patience, but I am so very proud of the strength that he has to trust me after the heartbreak he just went through. I have my own fur babies, however I am very fortunate to have my wife care for ours so that I am able to love and care for yours as much as possible! I am very precise and particular with my babies so I understand wanting things done “your way”. Nothing can be more stressful than leaving your loved ones with someone else. Trust me, I get it.
About: Hi, I am Alexis! I am a life long animal lover and pet sitter for the last decade. Although I specialize in large dogs and heavy pullers I welcome all pets! I have many "regulars" both on the Rover.com app and private clients who trust and depend on me and I am so fortunate to have them. I have reliable transportation and pride myself on dependability. I will care for your pets the way I would want mine to be treated. I am owned by a Pitbull named Athena and an Orange Tabby Cat named Cheeto. I also raise Quail. I have extensive livestock experience. I grew up riding Western Pleasure and working in show barns. I am happiest covered in hair and dirt! I also showed rabbits and hogs as a youth. I have spent the last 15 years employed with Publix Supermarkets where I enjoy my 4am shifts and making bread. I can't wait to meet your babies! I have a full time job and pets of my own. If you are flexable about the time for your drop in or walk, I may be the one for you! My overnight is generally 7pm-3am and provide a drop in midday (around 1pm-2pm) included in house sitting price. I treat them just like my own. Animals will be fed/given water daily to the owners specifications. Doors will be checked twice to make sure they are locked. I am the only one in or out of the clients home during my sits, ever. Clean background check provided by Rover.
“I couldn't be happier with Cheryl. She took great care of my dogs and sent regular updates. I highly recommend her and have no concerns about leaving them with her again. Thank you!”
“I cannot say enough about the level of service I receive when Darian comes to watch my dog. She is attentive, responsible and communicates daily to keep me reassured. This morning was the first morning since my return from a week long work trip away and my dog woke and ran to the guest room look for her. That speaks volumes. Thank you Darian!”

This is our first time using Joelma and she went over and above! My dog ended up having to wear a safety collar right before her stay and she was so sweet and made sure he didn’t have any difficulties and kept him comfortable. She also made sure they had extra attention and walks. Thanks Joelma!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ormond-by-the-Sea
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ormond-by-the-Sea on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 584 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ormond-by-the-Sea. 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 Ormond-by-the-Sea 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 Ormond-by-the-Sea 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 Ormond-by-the-Sea 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 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.
