“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.”
“Jennifer was amazing with my puppy. She was in constant contact with me, sending pictures and videos, which made me feel so comfortable when I had to travel for work. She was so respectful of the house, even vacuumed before I got home! My puppy liked her right away and she took such care to stick to the routines I'm working with him on. I would HIGHLY recommend Jennifer to anyone to care for your dogs or pups.”
“Avery is AMAZING - he took such great care of our house and pups. Avery is patient, communicative, and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything was taken care of back home. We highly recommend Avery!!! Thank you 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.”
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:)
“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've grown up caring for family pets like dogs, fish, turtles, hamsters, and frogs. I've always enjoyed taking care of family and friends pet's while their away, including: cats, geckos, and horses. There's never been a time in my life where I didn't have at least two pets. I have four years experience working in the pet care industry. I started at a general practice veterinary clinic assisting with general veterinary procedures as well as caring for pets who were boarding at the facility. I also worked temporarily at an emergency veterinary clinic, monitoring patients and assisting with major procedures. I also worked at a boarding facility for cats and dogs for two years, caring for overnight guests and facilitating playtimes with different groups of dogs, including being a lifeguard to dogs in the doggy pool. I have a very attentive eye for any physical or emotional stressors that your pet may be going through from all this experience with pet care. Please contact me with any questions you may have, I'd be pleased to work with you! I work from home part time, so I have lots of time to spoil your babies! I am very flexible with location, pick up and drop off, and extra dog adventures including sniffspots, dog beach, pet friendly stores and restaurants, and other adventures tailored to you and your dog. I'm a huge believer of giving pets the physical and emotional enrichment they need. Every pet needs the quality attention and physical exercise they need everyday! I would love to be that person for you. DOGS: I enjoy exploring outdoors and would be thrilled to take your pet on an exploratory stroll around the neighborhood or in a local park! I grew up with beagles, so I understand the importance of just letting the pup sniff, it's good for their brain! I'm also thrilled to give your baby a fast-paced walk or long-distance walk if they have that extra energy! I'm pleased to cater to any of your dog's specific dietary, exercise, training, or play routines. I will always keep you updated as you please! CATS: No matter how your baby feels about a stranger in their home, I'm determined to make them as comfortable as possible while I'm there! I love giving kitties the extra TLC they deserve, weather that's engaging in their favorite toys, or giving them as many of their favorite treats that I'm allowed! I'm always happy to administer any medications and adhere to feeding, grooming, cleaning, etc. schedules.
“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!”
About: I've had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, growing up with a variety of furry and feathered friends. From dogs and cats to birds, fish, and even a bunny, I've always been surrounded by pets, learning how to care for them, understand their needs, and build lasting bonds. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience in feeding, grooming, training, and offering companionship to animals of all kinds. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve always enjoyed, and it brings me joy to offer the same loving attention to your pets as I did my own. I work from home and most days can come by in the morning, mid day, or evening. Weekends are available as well since I only work during week days. When I care for your pet, their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll stick to their routine, make sure they’re comfortable in their own space, and provide lots of love and attention. You can trust that I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or playtime preferences. I’ll keep a watchful eye on them, ensuring they’re safe and happy while you're away, and I’ll always be available for updates or emergencies. Your pet will feel secure, and you can relax knowing they're in responsible, caring hands.

I thought this app would be a great way for me to make money while being able to spend time with adorable pets. I cant wait to meet you and spend time with your pet!!😊😊 I am very free and i’m available at anytime of any week so any schedule would work for me. I haven’t been very busy lately. I will follow all the needs of your pets and do whatever you need me to do for them. I’ll take good care of them and watch them closely.
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for pets of all kinds since I was a kid. Growing up with animals taught me how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving medications if instructed, cleaning up after them, or simply providing companionship, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine so they receive the best possible care. As a chiropractic student at Palmer College, my schedule can vary, but I am available for early morning and late evening visits. The main part of my day that may occasionally conflict is when I am in class; however, I have breaks throughout the day that allow me to check in on pets, provide care, and spend quality time with them. I am committed to ensuring pets receive reliable, consistent care and attention while their owners are away. The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Having cared for both cats and dogs throughout my life, I understand that each animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and ensure they always have fresh food, water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, compassionate care so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
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.
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.
“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!”

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 August 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 August 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.
