“Shannon was great, she came thru in a pinch when two prior pet sitters canceled on me! She was able to squeeze in a meet & greet with such short notice. Was prompt on sitting day. Provided photos and feedback. Will use again.”
About: I recently moved to Florida and would love to provide care to the community in my area! I have 6 years of dog care experience, 3 of which have been in a professional capacity at a boarding and rescue facility. I have plenty of experience conducting one on one as well as group play so if you have more than one pet in the home it's no problem! I am the most passionate about providing care for dogs with varing levels of reactivity, who may not have the opportunity to thrive in traditional daycare/boarding environments. But I love ALL temperaments and would love to provide safe and fun care for your best friend(s)! I also have a lot of experience caring for elderly and disabled animals ❤️ I do work a typical job, but I am lucky to have quite a bit of flexibility. So I am able to work with you to provide the care you need! I follow instructions to the T and try to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I have behavioral and body language training that plays a key part in my care. I am big on enrichment! Which includes; playtime, walks (with lots of sniffing), puzzles for pups that are interested, licky mats and frozen kong. Thing to keep their brain engaged! As long as it is approved by pet parents, I use diet appropriate treats along with positive reinforcement to build trust and can easily adapt and continue with any training plans you may have.
“Makaila did an exceptional job of caring for my two dogs! She made sure they were fed, walked, and was very attentive to them… she did an excellent job of keeping my home nice and clean, I truly appreciate all of her dedication and care😊😊”
“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! I highly recommend her if you need someone to go above and beyond for your pets!”
“Hannah did a great job watching my furbaby Toby and watching my home. She kept me updated on his behavior and sent pictures everyday. I will gladly us Hannah again.”
“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.”
“Sara was amazing with our fur baby! Our pup required some extra attention because of his current medical conditions and Sara was great with him. He was well taken care in our home while we were away. She was great with keeping us updated each day with photos and texts. We will be using Sara for our future sitting needs!”
“Isabella was very attentive to all of our animals, had great communication during her stay and treated our house as if it were her own. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
About: I love pets! I treat pets like fur babies and like a member of the family! I like to go to the beach, the dog park, and take rides in the car. I am more than willing to send pics and videos of your baby so you can feel comfortable they are being well taken care of:) I am home all day and am looking forward to spending time with your fur baby! I can do regular walks and potty breaks and I have a fully fenced back yard. I have a camera in the home that lets me check in when I am not at home. I have a house alarm and take special care to keep your fur babies safe:)
“We had our first visit with Allison and it went very well. We have a small herd of little dogs who can sometimes be a little overwhelming and she handled them just fine. She was respectful of our home and stayed in contact with us, making sure we had pictures each day. We’re looking forward to having her back on our next overnight trip in a couple weeks!”
“If I could give Avery more than 5 stars I would!! My dog absolutely loves him! He always makes sure to check in a few times a day and sends lots of pictures! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life and truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them extra love and attention while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule because I am a college student and enjoy staying active, so dog walking and pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. I make sure dogs are secure on walks, get plenty of exercise, and feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I will treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: My family has had dogs and cats my entire life. Not only have I cared for our puppies, but I have also lovingly cared for our senior animals. One of the most poignant experiences of my life was taking care of my senior dog, Fredo, a pug who suffered from a rare disease. Left undiagnosed for many months, his outcome was grim, but even as a young kid I doted on him, carrying him around, and assisting him to go outside and go potty. My family now has an 11 year old Doberman, Clemenza, a 4 year old Lhasa Poo, Luca, and an 11 year old cat, Santino. As you can tell, my parents love the Godfather! We moved here from Nebraska in June, 2022. Prior to moving here, I took care of my neighbor’s two black labs, a pit bull, and their various reptiles. Since moving to Florida, I have had part time job at a local ice cream store, which I will continue working at while taking care of your pets. I am happy to do what is best for your pet in your own home. I love walking dogs, letting them out, and can also check on cats. I am confident when it comes to feeding animals, providing medications, and anything else your fur babies need.
About: Hi! My name is Sarah, and if you spoke to anyone who's ever known me, the first thing they would probably tell you is that I love animals. I currently have four kitties who I absolutely adore — all of them are rescued. I love all dogs as well and I have a big soft spot for pits and chihuahuas. I also have had fish, ducks, chickens, geese, cows, and guinea pigs! I truly love them all. I can do dog walking and dog/cat/farm/other type of pet drop-ins. I have no breed or size preferences! I am comfortable around all dogs and can handle all sizes well including various demeanors and behavioral challenges or special needs. I would honestly love the chance to get to know your animals and be someone who you trust to care for them when you are away. Please don't hesitate to message me if you are interested! :) I currently work during the daytime but I am able to fill in while you’re gone by letting them outside To go to the bathroom and feeding / caring for them before and after work. I am very aware of my demeanor with new animals to make sure they feel safe and comfortable with me. I want them to trust me and be happy whenever I come by to take care of them.
About: I grew up with pets of my own. I have always been trusted to take care of friends and families animals. I have taken care of puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs. I have take care of dogs that also needed to wear a diaper and also had to administer medications. I have 3 fur babies of my own and always provide every animals with the same loving care as I give my own dogs. Pet care is a daily thing for me as I have 3 of my own pets. I also have a very flexible schedule where I usually only have to leave the house for 4 hours max if I do have to leave. I have a fenced in back yard and live in a very quiet neighborhood that is great for walking dogs. I also have 3 other dogs that can keep your pup entertained but I can also crate your dog if that is what the owner prefers. I also have plenty of dog toys and treats and I also have the availability to stay with your animals in your home if that is what the owner prefers and I always make sure my schedule is clear so I can provide the best care to th animals needs.
“Opal was excellent! Exceeded all expectations. On time, communication and also daily pictures of our baby enjoying her home. We came home to a non-stressed dog and a clean house, bless sweet heart.”
“Megan is just a pleasure. She is very prompt and respectful and courteous. Our Charlie can be a handful sometimes, but she warmed to Megan almost immediately. We were able to have some nice time away without worrying that Charlie was worrying. We'll definitely be asking Megan back.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Port Orange is $50

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!
PaulDavid was an excellent petsitter. He was immediately responsive to our request and proactively reached out to schedule a meet and greet on the same day. He was very professional and responsible. We will definitely contact him again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Port Orange
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Port Orange on Rover is $32.19 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 655 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 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.

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.
