“Brian has been the best sitter we've found so far. He house sat for us while we were out of town. He was very honest and communicative. We're hoping to book him again for our next trip out of town.”
“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!”

“8/20/26 - 8/23/26 Brynn took great care of my fur baby Jeep on 8/20/26 - 8/23/26, she shared photos of Jeep, he looked excited and engaged in his walks. Although she did not share alot of daily photos or daily activities of Jeep, I had peace of mind knowing that my fur baby Jeep was well taken care of by an experienced animal lover and professional. Jeep had fun, looked comfortable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Brynn and will book again when we have another long weekend or vacati”
“Avery is a blessing. He took excellent care of our Buddy. Sent me pictures every morning and afternoon and sometimes in between. It was such a comfort to know he was doing great. Avery stayed at our home and it was spotless when we got home. He even took the sheets off the bed and washed them. By far Avery is the best sitter we have ever had. We will definitely be booking with him in the future. I highly recommend Avery.”
About: I have had pets since the age of 7. I have worked in animal rescue, vet clinics, and pet boarding. I have loved dogs my entire life! I have fostered many puppies and adult dogs and still get updates from their adopters, which I keep on my fridge 🥰 I have 3 of my own dogs at home, all of which are pet friendly but will be kept separate from yours if boarding or visiting! Since I have dogs of my own I am used to walking them and taking them to the dog park. I know basic medical care such as distributing medications and feeding. Pets are a part of my life and that will never change. Pets in my home are on special diets. They get fed separately. They sleep in their dog beds and/or my bed depending on how they feel 😆 they get regular walks and get outside yard time in our yard which is privately fenced. My dogs are polite and will host graciously and when I am boarding other pets those pets will take precedence.

About: I’ve cared for everything from tiny puppies to large Goldendoodles, as well as cats, and I have experience caring for multiple pets at the same time. Every dog I meet ends up not wanting to go home! I treat your pet like family:) I recently graduated and am currently job hunting, which means I’m fully available to care for your pet full time! I’m always ready for a walk anytime! 😊 My home has lots of open space and barely any furniture, perfect for your pups and kitties to roam! We also visit the apartment dog park daily. Bonus: I don’t wear shoes indoors (culture thing!), so no bugs! just clean, comfy vibes. 😄
About: I have had dogs all my life! I also have a lot of experience dog sitting for family and friends in my area. I make sure to take the best care of them all! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I prioritize pet care in my daily life and I will give them my full attention. I can easily crate your dog if needed! I will follow any instructions from the client based on how they would like me to care for their pets.
“Brianna is a very sweet girl and my animals seemed to be very at ease with her and her happy when l got home. She will send photos throughout the day to let you know they are doing well. She even helped me out with a last minute schedule change and let me pay to extend the stay which l so appreciated. Would recommend her!”
About: I’ve spent years living with four amazing pets, so I know firsthand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, and ways they like to be cared for. Whether it’s high-energy walks, playful zoomies, quiet cuddles, or just keeping an eye on their comfort and safety, I adapt to each pet’s needs with patience and care. I treat every animal like part of my own family, giving them love, attention, and respect while keeping their routine and happiness in mind. With me, your pets get someone who truly understands them—and maybe even a few extra belly rubs along the way. Even with part-time college and work, I make sure pets are a top priority in my routine. I schedule my days so I have dedicated time for walks, play, feeding, and plenty of cuddles, making sure every animal I care for feels safe, loved, and attended to. Being organized and dependable means you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands, getting consistent care and attention, no matter how busy life gets. I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. In my home, that means creating a safe, comfortable space with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and enrichment activities. At clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely feeding schedules, play preferences, and any special instructions so pets feel secure and happy in familiar surroundings. I’m attentive to their moods, provide companionship, and make sure every animal gets the care and affection they deserve.
About: I am a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter with extensive experience caring for animals of all ages and needs. My skills go beyond basic sitting services, as I specialize in training pets, providing attentive care for senior animals, and creating a safe, loving environment for every pet I look after. My unique approach includes observing behavioral cues, administering medications when needed, and tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and health requirements. By combining professional reliability with a genuine love for animals, I ensure peace of mind for pet owners and a joyful, stress-free experience for their beloved companions. Key Skills: Pet training and behavior reinforcement Specialized senior pet care, including medication and mobility support Strong observational skills for early recognition of health or behavior changes Personalized enrichment activities and exercise programs Im self employed this allows me to have a flexible that I can manage myself. I’m available daily, some evenings and weekends. I may be available on short notice. I’m accustomed to walking dogs on leashes. I live in an area with sidewalks and my spacious backyard is fenced as well as the front yard.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve had and cared for my own dogs for as long as I can remember, including my two dogs at home who are truly part of the family. I also regularly pet sit for a family about twice a year, so I’m comfortable taking on the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely see pet sitting as a passion, not just a job. I absolutely love animals and would be so excited to spend my time getting to know their personalities, keeping them company, playing with them, and giving them all the attention and care they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your babies, and I would treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. 🐾🤍 My promise is to always be attentive, dependable, patient, and loving, while making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Getting to work with animals is honestly a dream for me, and I would be so grateful for the opportunity to love on your fur babies! 🫶 I recently moved back to the Daytona Beach area and am currently a full-time college student, but all of my classes are online, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m not working a job right now, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. Since my schoolwork can be done from home and I can plan my schedule around my responsibilities, I’m able to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and spending quality time with your pets. I love having animals around and would genuinely enjoy making pet care a regular part of my week! 🐾🤍 Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in their home, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions their owner provides. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure everything stays clean and just the way they left it. I’ll keep up with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and cuddles! 🐾🤍 I also understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine helps them feel most comfortable. My goal is for your pets to feel like they’re getting their normal routine and lots of love while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for. 🫶

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ponce Inlet
Great communication, all around nice guy, & he left zero trace in the house which is greatly appreciated as a semi-neat-freak. Also, one of my dogs has been on a long journey of defeating his stranger-danger-fear, especially with men. When Brian came in the house for the meet & greet, I was SHOCKED to see my dog run downstairs & make contact within 30 seconds of him walking in the door. Thanks for taking such great care of my pups!
Molly was great watching Monty and our Bunny. It is not any easy task watching the our freeroaming rabbit. She did a great job and Monty seemed really happy. We would ask her back again. She sent us some cute photos and always kept in touch with us by text. Thanks Molly!

The average cost of House Sitting in Ponce Inlet is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $67 per night.

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 Ponce Inlet 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 Ponce Inlet 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 Ponce Inlet 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.
