About: I am a cat grandma currently (aka Grannie Annie), but I have had many furry babies of my own over the years. I am very trustworthy and look forward to caring for your furry family as if they are my own. I am currently home full time (remote) and can easily care for your furry baby or babies in your home where they are most comfortable or provide daycare in my home (no overnights). I am available for feedings, potty and play time! If they are able walks and play time will definitely be part of our routine. I encourage you to let me know what they love and don't love so I can easily adapt to their routine! My main goal as a Rover Sitter is to give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving the best care while you are on vacation or while you are at work! That means daily pictures (and occasionally videos) of your pet playing, relaxing, and having the best time! I am passionate about what I do, and I love keeping you updated with pictures and videos of the fun activities that your friend participates in while they are in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs different sizes and ages for about 10 years. I have taken care of older dogs who needed assistance walking and getting them outside. Also, I have cared for diabetic dogs needing insulin. I have a dog back at home that we got as a puppy so have experience with that. I’m currently a college student who will be in school only part time. I will have a lot more free time during the weekdays and still in the area on weekends. My hours for school will be very flexible, so I am able to care for your dog. I want your pet to be happy and feel at home. By coming to your house, the dog will feel safer in its environment. I want to keep the dog as entertained as possible to keep it happy. I will spend as much time as needed to bring comfort to your dog while you are out of town.

About: I am a Registered Nurse and Biomedical Engineer. To pay my studies on me of my professor come to me to take care of his dogs while he was on vacation. Since then I work with different clients from the university and start volunteering in a animal shelter. Is there when I realize that I take care of the animals as send as humans. God send them to heal and make us company. Dogs therapy have been proved to help patients to heal. Why not treat them as they deserve. They make part of our family. After volunteering in the animal shelter I start receiving a lot of volume of clients because the way I take care of my patients is the same way sometimes even higher, the care I provide to animals.

Nubz, our cat seemed smitten with her, as she happily napped on top of Valery. lol Before leaving she even took Coop for his favorite walk! I highly recommend her if you need someone to go above and beyond for your pets!”
“Jacklynn was great with our dogs! She stayed at our house with them while she juggled work and school.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Orange
Absolutely awesome!! Highly recommend Taryn. She did great with the dogs, plus kept up with the floors (sweeping and mopping), washed the linens on her bed and remade it- it was like coming home and not even being gone (I wasn't behind as soon as I got there). The dogs were happy and I got daily pictures and messages. I was gone 5 days and she petsat in my home.
We had such a great experience with Noelle! Ruby gets nervous when we’re away, and unfortunately she had a few accidents during our trip. We really appreciated how patient and caring Noelle was with her and how she handled everything without making us worry. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Ruby had someone there to comfort her and take good care of her while we were away. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for girl. We would definitely trust Noelle with Ruby again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her! 🐾❤️

We can't say enough positive things about Mary Catherine and Edward. The care our Beagles received was right on point. From daily walks to spending time with, the beagz were in the best of care. We received multiple updates daily with photos to view. I would highly recommend both of them and the services they provide. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Mila and Marley. AKA the Browns Lol.
Maryellen is amazing! Very professional and kind. It’s a little nerve wracking leaving your beloved pets with someone you are unfamiliar with and don’t know. But Mell couldn’t have put us more at ease. She is timely, considerate to all the little nuances of all three of our pups. She showed kindness towards us and was very loving to our pets. She pays attention to detail and goes above and beyond. We are grateful to have found her and look forward to booking care for our pups with her again.
Valery was amazing! She sent us so many fun pictures of the pets and handled all Coops medications and needs with extra care. Nubz, our cat seemed smitten with her, as she happily napped on top of Valery. lol Before leaving she even took Coop for his favorite walk!

Lacee cared for our 2 small dogs and cat for a few days. She did several 'meet and greets' for us until we were satisfied that our pets were warming up to her. She was very flexible with the times planned for this and the amount of each time spent. She completely understood how important it is was for us to feel that our pets were comfortable with her. We were able to leave our pets with her knowing they were in good caring hands. She sent us pictures and updates which was great and we had a wonderful getaway with no worries!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Port Orange is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 619 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Port Orange. 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 Port Orange 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 Port Orange 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 Port Orange 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
