About: I've loved and cared for dogs my whole life, and pet sitting lets me combine that with something else I enjoy: helping people. My own Jack Russell, Marley, keeps me on my toes, so I'm very comfortable with high-energy pups who need plenty of exercise and stimulation. I've also cared for senior dogs over 12 and understand that older pets often need a gentler pace, extra patience, and close attention to their comfort. I've walked and dog-sat for friends and neighbors many times, and I treat every pet like my own. If your pup struggles with separation anxiety, I'm happy to spend time with them during the day so they get company, attention, and exercise while you're away. My professional background is in fast-paced, detail-oriented work, so you can count on me to be punctual, organized, and communicative. I live in town year-round, have a flexible schedule (including weekends), and have reliable transportation. Short walk or long adventure, I'll tailor each visit to what your pet needs. Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with dogs, have one of my own, and have cared for friends' and family's pets for years, so walks, feeding schedules, and noticing changes in a pet's mood or health are second nature to me. I'm available Monday through Friday from 8am to 7pm, which means I can offer consistent, dependable care whether you need a midday walk or a quick drop-in. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly, from feeding amounts to favorite walking routes, and I'll send photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat your home and pet like my own. Before we start, I'll learn your pet's routine, feeding instructions, and emergency contacts. Dogs stay securely leashed on every walk, and drop-ins include fresh food and water, cleanup, and plenty of attention. I always lock up behind me and send photo updates after each visit

About: Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have dogs as companions, which has instilled in me a deep understanding of animal care. As an ardent animal enthusiast, I have developed a particular fondness for cats, having personally adopted one. When entrusted with the care of others’ animals, I approach my responsibilities with utmost seriousness, treating them with the same compassion and attention I would bestow upon my own. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. I currently take care of Pets on a part-time basis and have a few regular clients who leave every month for few days to two weeks. In their absence, I take over their pet sitting and housesitting responsibilities. I always enjoy starting the day with a meet-and-greet where I get to meet the parents and the animal. We then go over where all their food is stored. Their favorite spots are often their favorite toys, which are essentially their daily routine. I try to fit myself into that routine as easily as possible to make things easier for both the animal and the parents.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I’ve cared for Great Danes, Labs, mixed breeds, and cats, so I’m comfortable with different sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. I’ve also volunteered at local shelters, where I provided loving care, cleaned cages, and supported daily routines. I’m experienced with basic puppy care, patient with senior pets, and attentive to cleanliness, including litter box maintenance and general hygiene. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. While I’m in pharmacy school, work part-time, and serve in the Army National Guard, I have a flexible schedule with availability during evenings and weekends. I’m not in class all day, which allows me to plan dedicated time for pet visits, walks, and care. I’m reliable and organized, so I make sure every pet gets the attention they need. You can trust that I’ll work around my schedule to provide consistent, loving care for your pet. I provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I offer services like walks around the neighborhood, feeding, playtime, and making sure they stay on their normal routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and will follow any specific instructions you provide. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home or transport pets in my car, but I’m happy to provide reliable, loving care during drop-in visits and walks.
About: My dad is a veterinarian, which means I've been learning how to care for animals for as long as I can possibly remember. He passed his love of them onto me, as well as all of the knowledge I need to always keep my pets (and yours!) safe. I'm currently working part-time, which means I can be super flexible when it comes to helping you take care of your pets. Whether you're in need of a mid-day dog walker or a sitter for longer trips, I'm available to make sure your pets are getting the attention they need. For overnight stays, the more details you can give me about your pet's needs, routines, and activities, the better! My goal is to make them (and you!) feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.

“Lizania did a wonderful job of taking care of our cats.they were more responsive to her than they have been to other sitters and were happy and healthy when we got home. I would use her again when we went away.”

About: Hello and welcome to my Rover bio. My name is Sandra and I have 20+ experience with pet care. I used to have 5 dogs of my own at one point in my life. I've fostered several dogs in my home before, but now I have no dogs and am not quite ready to have another after the passing of my last dog Gatsby. However, i love animals. I have "grandpup" named Jax who I love and take care of at times. At this time, I am not working full time as a babysitter/nanny, so I am on this site in search of helping out other pet owners who are finding someone to trust with their fur kids. I am known around my neighborhood to be the animal lover. I will listen to your pet care instructions and follow through. Love sending you updates and pictures to keep you posted and guilt free! I am currently unemployed and have a lot of time in my hands at this time. I do not have places to be and if i leave, it's mostly for groceries or something quick. I have a fenced yard that is very spacious. Live in gated neighborhood that also has dog poop bags to keep neighborhood clean and nice.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me so much joy! Having grown up with both a small West Highland Terrier and a German Shepherd, I’ve had firsthand experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From little companions to big, playful pups, I have a special place in my heart for them all! I’m a responsible, compassionate, and attentive person who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going on walks, enjoying playtime, maintaining feeding routines, or simply providing companionship, I love making sure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Outside of pet care, my professional background in leadership and management has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I bring those same qualities to caring for animals! My goal is simple: to treat your furry family members with the same love and care I’d give my own, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in dependable hands. ❤️ Pet care has always been a natural and rewarding part of my life! 🐶 While I work full-time in a leadership role, I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate my days off, mornings, and evenings to caring for furry friends. I’m happy to offer boarding, walks, and drop-in visits based on my availability and each pet’s individual needs. I believe in providing thoughtful, personalized care and making sure every pet receives the love, attention, and companionship they deserve. My goal is to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for your furry family member while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾 I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and needs, and I believe in providing thoughtful, individualized care to help them feel safe and loved. Whether caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely, maintain familiar feeding and exercise routines, and provide a clean, comfortable, and nurturing environment. I also believe communication is key! I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s beloved pet seriously and will always treat your furry family member with the same patience, kindness, and respect I’d give my own! 🥰

About: I’ve always loved dogs and. are and have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and a little more care with their routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship and a comfortable environment. I don’t have experience caring for cats but I have been around cats! I currently work M-F 8-5. I would be able to drop in before and after that and anytime on the weekends. Whether that is walking or checking on the pets. I am attentive to pets in their own homes and respectful of others belongings. I do not offer to care for pets in my home.
“We had such a great experience with Emily! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats, keeping them happy, fed, and cared for, but she also went above and beyond by putting out our trash can, bringing in packages, and helping to troubleshoot issues with our litter robots. We loved seeing the cute photo and video updates of our cats. We really appreciate her care, reliability and flexibility. Highly recommend!”

About: I will care for your pets like they are my own. I have always loved animals and treat them all like my own family members. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I am free to help you with your fur babies at most anytime. I will care for your pets specifically as you request and become friends with them so they look forward to seeing me with I come to visit them.

About: I bring years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with my own senior dog who’s now 14 and still living his best life. Caring for him has taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to adapt routines for pets of all ages and energy levels. I’ve also spent plenty of time around cats and guinea pigs, giving me a solid understanding of different personalities and needs—from playful or shy kitties to small pets that require calm, careful attention. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a check-in, I make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and well cared for. Even with a full-time job, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m already up early for my own senior dog, so morning check-ins or feedings are easy to incorporate. I often use my lunch break for midday visits, giving pets a chance to stretch, potty, play, or simply enjoy some company. After work, I’m available for longer visits, walks, or evening drop-ins. Weekends are even more flexible, allowing me to spend extra time with pets who need longer outings or multiple check-ins. Supporting other people’s pets feels like a natural extension of my day, and I’m committed to making sure every animal gets the care, consistency, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches each pet’s routine. In a client’s home, I follow their preferred schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, whether that means giving extra cuddles, keeping things low-key for shy animals, or offering plenty of play for energetic ones. In my own home, pets have designated spaces for rest and play, regular potty breaks, and supervised time to explore. No matter the location, I treat every pet with the same care and patience I give my own, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and well looked after.
About: I will love and cherish your pet because they deserve the world. 13 years of my life I’ve had always taken care of my own, friends and family pets. I have always been the one person to be relied on to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I love dogs/ pets in general, I have so much love to give because they have hearts too. I communicate with my clients about my work schedule and it’s pretty easy. I know there’s some pets that have schedules and I’d talk to my manager about it and get the day/days off :)) Each pet has their own bowl. I walk all of my dogs at the same time if fenced and I sit outside and watch to make sure they use the bathroom properly. I give them treats whenever but most importantly when they’re behaving good or if I’m training them a trick. I’m always with my dogs when I have to. I give my dogs water frequently since they stay outside for about 20-30 minutes just so they can have time to use the bathroom and play. I brush them 2-3 times a week, I feed my dogs 2-3 times a day and walk them around 4-5 times a day.
About: I have always had a passion for taking care of pets, whether it’s dogs, cats or birds. I worked a veterinary assistant for 20 years. I’m comfortable giving injections as well as oral medications. I work 4 days a week and have weekends off so those are the best days for boarding but I’m willing to do any day of the week in my home. I ah e a fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own and 3 cats who are dog friendly but mainly just hide. If need be I have a large crate.

Nalisha provided excellent service to my two pups while I was away. Communication was top notch and my pups really enjoyed her. I need to add on an additional visit at the last minute and she was able to accommodate me. Thanks Nalisha for all of your help.
Gabriela was awesome! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures and messages the whole time. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

It was my first time using Abbi and she was fantastic!!! Before hand and during the she was very communicative with pictures and text! Love her personality- easy going and easy to talk to! She gets it! Obsessed pet moms, I mean… That counts… lol. One of my pups was a handful and she sat patiently to allow Gigi to warm up to her. I really believe she cares and it shows! Definitely recommend her!! Look forward to having her with my fur babies next time!!

Cheryl was amazing caring for our dogs. This was the first time we had left them for more than a short time and she was awesome. Cared so much for our senior frenchie and our chiweenie. Sent tons of pictures and communication on how they were doing. Gave us peace of mind knowing she was dropping in on them. Went above and beyond when they were not eating and getting my girl to take her meds. She is the best!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Apollo Beach is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,374 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Apollo Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Apollo Beach 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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Apollo Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
