“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.”
“Celeste is always so great with my pup! I was very anxious about leaving town for several days but so relieved after finding out she was available. I didn’t worry at all knowing she was taking care of my pup. I appreciate her so much!”
“Mary Cathryne and Edward were a blessing to us and our Bassett Sadie. They responded quickly to our last minute request for a house sitter and we communicated everything over the phone. We received detailed messages throughout each day regarding meals, meds, and walks. We especially enjoyed receiving photos, videos, and maps of walks. We will definitely keep Mary Cathryne and Edward at the top of our pet sitter list!”
“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!”
“We adore Avery! Always kind, always responsive, and the dogs are always happy and healthy when we return. If it wasn’t for the fact that the dogs have been fed I’d question if he was even here because the house is always exactly as we left it. We appreciate you!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“Courtney was really sweet. She took very good care of Luna. Luna got comfortable with her immediately. I highly recommended Courtney to take care of your fur friend. She was also flexible with the hours. We felt very comfortable and happy”
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:)
“Alyssah was great! She came by to meet Ranger and he seemed to be comfortable right away. She showed up on time, asked additional questions about Ranger's care and we were off for our weekend getaway! She sent us regular updates and lots of pictures. We could tell Ranger was taken with her as she sent a pic of him with his head on her lap! Ranger has a lot of anxiety and Alyssah seemed to be the perfect fit for him. She was able to easily give him his daily medication and she took him for his walks. When we got home Ranger was happy, and our home was in the same order as we left it. However, I do believe he was a bit sad that she left. Alyssah will definitely be our first choice on our next trip. She is clearly an animal lover and Ranger loved her back! Thank you so much, Alyssah!”
“Cara was absolutely amazing with my babies and home! I have a pretty anxious pup and she did amazing with her! Would recommend her in a heartbeat!! Kept great communication and sent pictures which I loveeee!”

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.
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 $46.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 622 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Daytona. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
