“Absolutely amazing pet sitter! She went above and beyond taking care of our dogs truly treated them like her own. She kept in touch with regular check-ins and updates, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, caring, and genuinely kind. Our pups adored her, and honestly, she feels like part of the family now. We can’t thank her enough for the love and care she gave highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
“The first and most amazing experience on Rover. She far exceeded my expectations. I arrived to a happy, tired puppy. Jennifer left frequent updates about Bruno. She gave great training advice and reaffirmed his commands by repeating them throughout the day. Bruno and I are both extremely happy and plan to see her more often.”
“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.
About: Mom of 2 hooomans (13&17I also have a Pomeranian, Mika. If you want your pet to be spoiled, you’ve come to the right place, lol. I work part time so I’m pretty flexible right now. I’m looking to add some work to my schedule doing something I love & enjoy! If you’re boarding your pet with me in my home, a crate will need to be provided for short periods of time if I need to step out and can’t bring them with me! I secure each dog on a leash when taking them outside on walks or to potty. Unless you have a fenced yard. I support treats, (:
“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 needed someone to stay at our house for the weekend while we were away and Jane was available! She took great care of our pets, dog and two cats. I always got updates and pictures. Thanks again, Jane!”
“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!”
“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.”
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:)
About: Hi! I’ve worked with animals for most of my life, from reptiles to dogs, and I’m passionate about providing the best possible care for every pet. As an animal enthusiast currently working at PetSmart, I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of species and understanding their unique needs. I also have experience with basic grooming and bathing, and I spend my free time learning and practicing dog training techniques while working toward certification. I consider it a privilege whenever someone trusts me with their beloved pet, and I strive to treat every animal as if they were my own. While I am not a veterinarian, I ask that you please inform me of any medical conditions, medications, allergies, behavioral concerns, or special care requirements your pet may have so I can provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. I currently work part-time, so I’m usually available until 4:00 PM. If you’re looking to book outside of those hours, don’t hesitate to ask—I’m happy to discuss options and can often make arrangements. I’m also usually available all day on Sundays and Mondays! Away from home care: I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly, gentle Norwegian Elkhound who loves the company of other dogs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, so I never leave pets in the care of strangers while they’re with me. I’m confident in my ability to read animal body language and recognize when a pet may need play, attention, rest, or space to help keep them comfortable and stress-free. For pets who are anxious or prefer their own space, I have a cozy crate available as a safe retreat. Thanks to my experience with my own dog, I also have a variety of harnesses, toys, and treats designed to help pets feel relaxed, comfortable, and at home. If I ever notice anything concerning about your pet’s health, behavior, or well-being, I will contact you immediately so we can address it together. At home care: I pride myself on being punctual and reliable for every appointment, and I’ll always greet you and your pet with a smile. I appreciate when owners provide a list of important information about their pet, including their routine, preferences, and favorite activities, so I can give them the best possible care. You can trust me to respect your home, stay out of any areas you don’t permit access to, and keep a close eye on your pet at all times. If I ever notice anything concerning about your pet’s health, behavior, or well-being, I will contact you immediately so we can address it together.
“Aliyah was a fantastic dog sitter for our two dogs! She’s an excellent communicator and was very attentive to their differing personalities and needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Valery is one of the best sitters I have used on this platform. She took care of our two dogs when we were gone and did a great job taking care of one of our dogs who needs extra attention and keeping us updated.”
“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!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for over 30 years. I have experience in many different breeds, sizes and all ages. I am starting certification classes on dog grooming and training and I took an animal behavior class as an elective in highschool. I work 9am to 5pm Monday thru Friday. I am available for any schedule around then late nights and early mornings aren't a problem. I have reliable transportation and would be happy to take your pet to the park, on adventures, or anywhere they enjoy going! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and specific needs, and I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Your pet’s well-being, and your peace of mind, will always be my top priority.

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!
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 - South Daytona
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Daytona on Rover is $48.15 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 649 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Daytona. 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 South Daytona 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 South Daytona 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 South Daytona 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.
