Thank you Jenn, we feel comfortable and confident our baby is being loved and cared for while we are gone!”
“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!”

“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.
“Molly was great watching Monty and our Bunny. It is not any easy task watching the our freeroaming rabbit. She did a great job and Monty seemed really happy. We would ask her back again. She sent us some cute photos and always kept in touch with us by text. Thanks Molly!”
About: Hi, I am Alexis! I am a life long animal lover and pet sitter for the last decade. Although I specialize in large dogs and heavy pullers I welcome all pets! I have many "regulars" both on the Rover.com app and private clients who trust and depend on me and I am so fortunate to have them. I have reliable transportation and pride myself on dependability. I will care for your pets the way I would want mine to be treated. I am owned a pitbull, a boxer mix and a orange tabby . I also raise Quail and Chickens. I have extensive livestock experience. I grew up riding Western Pleasure and working in show barns. I am happiest covered in hair and dirt! I have spent the last 15 years employed full time l with Publix Supermarkets where I enjoy my 4am shifts and making bread. I can't wait to meet your babies! I have a full time job and pets of my own. If you are flexable about the time for your drop in or walk, I may be the one for you! My overnight is generally 7pm-3am and provide a drop in midday (around 1pm-2pm) included in house sitting price. I treat them just like my own. Animals will be fed/given water daily to the owners specifications for sits. Doors will be checked twice to make sure they are locked. I am the only one in or out of the clients home during my sits, ever. Clean background check provided by Rover.
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:)
“Janice was just the perfect "substitute dog mom" that I was looking for to care for my 12 year old rescue, Roshi, who was use to me being home all day. I felt right a ease upon our meet and greet and knew right away she was the right choice. Janice was excellent at communicating and sent photos of Roshi. Janice stayed overnight at my home for 5 nights, was a wonderful house guest, I would highly recommend her, and I will be booking with Janice again.”
“Reyna watched our 4 dogs during July 4th weekend. She was on time each visit and took great care of our 4 pups. She fed them, took them out and played with them and made sure they got all their energy out before she left. She even stayed extra time one night while fireworks were going off in our neighborhood. 2 of our dogs get high anxiety with loud noises. She called and let me know the situation and stayed longer until both dogs were calm. Our puppy also lost a puppy tooth while she was there and she called to let me know about it. Reyna is super sweet, responsible and communicates well during her visits. We actually just booked her again for overnight stays while we’re out of town coming up. We are very thankful we found Reyna. Our pups love her and we appreciate her love for dogs and how responsible she is during her time with our fur babies.”
“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.”
“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 have had pets since the age of 7. I have worked in animal rescue, vet clinics, and pet boarding. I have loved dogs my entire life! I have fostered many puppies and adult dogs and still get updates from their adopters, which I keep on my fridge 🥰 I have 3 of my own dogs at home, all of which are pet friendly but will be kept separate from yours if boarding or visiting! Since I have dogs of my own I am used to walking them and taking them to the dog park. I know basic medical care such as distributing medications and feeding. Pets are a part of my life and that will never change. Pets in my home are on special diets. They get fed separately. They sleep in their dog beds and/or my bed depending on how they feel 😆 they get regular walks and get outside yard time in our yard which is privately fenced. My dogs are polite and will host graciously and when I am boarding other pets those pets will take precedence.
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.

8/20/26 - 8/23/26 Brynn took great care of my fur baby Jeep on 8/20/26 - 8/23/26, she shared photos of Jeep, he looked excited and engaged in his walks. Although she did not share alot of daily photos or daily activities of Jeep, I had peace of mind knowing that my fur baby Jeep was well taken care of by an experienced animal lover and professional. Jeep had fun, looked comfortable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Brynn and will book again when we have another long weekend or vacati
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
