“Danielle was kind and communicative throughout our dog’s stay. She kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog seemed happy and well taken care of when we returned. We really appreciated her care and would definitely use Danielle again for a short trip!”
“Jessica and her beautiful fur babies made my little guy feel right at home. I received pictures of Oliver playing and going on an early morning walk. I felt completely relax while away knowing that she was with a loving and caring person. As always, he came home and played a little bit and then on to sleep! Will definitely use her again’ ☺️☺️☺️”
“Mirian did an amazing job taking care of my dog Luna while I was out of the country. She was attentive, reliable, and treated Luna like her own. I could tell my dog felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I appreciate the level of care she gave, and I would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for great pet care.”
“Rosalva was AMAZING!! Having your dog stay with her is like having your dog stay with family. One of our dogs is high energy with separation anxiety and she made him feel safe and secure with zero issues. When we got there to pick up both of our dogs they were happy to see us, but quickly went right back to enjoying the time they were having prior to us showing up. Much like a child that wants more time to play. She kept us updated and sent pics which helped us feel at ease. We can’t recommend her high enough and hope to use her over and over again. 5+ stars from us!”
“Allyssa, her husband, and their puppy Ezzy were very friendly and took good care of Dreamsicle (cat) during the 8 night stay. Allyssa provided pictures & updates throughout the whole stay. They have a nice clean home & super sweet people. Will definitely have them sit for my cat again!! Highly recommend.”
“So happy that we found Anna! She took exceptional care of our boy while we were away. She sent lots of updates and pictures to reassure us of how well he was doing. I would definitely recommend her for you pet boarding needs. She will treat them like her own!!”

He made our pet feel safe and at home and us feel at ease that our dog was in great care! We needed another day for our dog to stay and he was very accommodating and open to helping us the best he could. We definitely will be booking with him again for all of our boarding needs!! Book with Brian, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Kassi's stay with Diana was great. Our anxious dog immediately felt comfortable in Diana's home. We received updates and pictures! We definitely recommend Diana's home away from home!!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST sitter!!!! ❤️🐕 Maybell was absolutely amazing! This was a last-minute request, and she welcomed my baby with so much love and care. She lives in a very safe community and is home most of the time, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent, and she kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. She was incredibly professional, responsible, and punctual. You can immediately tell how much of a true dog lover she is! She has a beautiful family that works together as a team to make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and comfortable. My baby got along wonderfully with her sweet pup, who is so gentle, loving, affectionate, and kind. My baby was safe, happy, and very well cared for the entire time. Leaving my baby in her care gives me such peace of mind, and that means everything to me. I 100% recommend Maybell, and I will absolutely continue trusting her with my baby in the future. Maybell, thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my baby! You truly are the best! ❤️🐾”

It was wonderful seeing her so comfortable being away from me. Made me far less anxious about leaving her. We will definitely be going back!”
“We love Bibiana! My husband and I have used her services multiple times, and we couldn't be happier. She recently watched our dog for two weeks, and the experience was great. We received daily updates, often multiple times a day, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was safe, happy, and well taken care of. We can tell that our dog enjoys revisiting Bibiana. She provides a comfortable home environment, with access to the backyard to play, and she gets treated like part of her family. Very highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apollo Beach
Best ever!!! We have a miniature Schnauzer named Ozzy. He likes to bark when excited. We were very worried and scared to leave our baby with anyone. We met with Janie a couple weeks before boarding him. We felt comfortable with Janie from the beginning...Ozzy did get excited as usual and calmed down pretty quick when we all met. Janie handled Ozzy great since day one. Ozzy likes TV with animals. Janie played the all dogs YouTube channel. He loved it. Janie sent videos and pictures to us daily. Ozzy enjoyed all the attention he received. We felt very comfortable and worry free with Janie watching our dog. She was awesome!! We will use her again.
We had such a wonderful experience with Mirian watching our mini poodle puppy Kian! She was so nice and very communicative the entire time — she sent pictures and kept us up to date, so we always knew how he was doing. Kian has a LOT of energy and can definitely be a handful at this young puppy stage, but she cared for him with so much patience and sweetness. When we went to pick him up, he seemed so relaxed and happy, like he truly felt at home with her, her family, and her other dogs. Highly recommend — we would absolutely book her again!
We met Danielle and her family a couple of weeks before we boarded Sadie with her. You could tell that she is a dog person! Danielle was great with the pictures and any questions we had while we were away. When picking Sadie up she was happy to see us and sad to leave Danielle. We would recommend Danielle and her family. We would bring Sadie back again and we were very impressed with them.
Troy and his family were absolutely amazing! From start to finish, Troy was very responsive and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos of Ace, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Ace was well cared for, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. When I arrived to pick him up, he didn’t even want to get in the car! 😂 That alone speaks volumes about the wonderful care and attention he received. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Troy and his family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again! ❤️🐾
Our dogs love going to Freddy and Talenas house! We first used them for an out of town wedding and things seemed to go really well. We received photos throughout and when we picked them up the family was so sad to see them leave. We then booked them for a much longer period for an international trip. We were curious how they would react when we brought them back and they sprinted to the door, played with their husky pup and were rolling on the floor for belly rubs. It’s clear our boys feel right at home with their family, so much so they don’t want to leave. We appreciate their family so much for taking such good care of the dogs and for loving on them just as we would if we were home. They have been incredibly flexible for our crazy schedules and we’re excited to have them as support for the pups going forward.
Appa always has a blast at Gabriela’s house while we’re away. From drop off to pick up, it’s truly like he’s at sleep away camp! I receive updates on how he’s doing in a timely manner and you can tell she really cares about the dogs in her care. Appa’s a big boy (~115 lbs. Rottweiler) and Gabriela does a great job with him. My husband and I both highly recommend her.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Apollo Beach can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Apollo Beach home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Apollo Beach.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apollo Beach. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Apollo Beach sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
