About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I understand how important routine, patience, and affection are for happy pets. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding, and quality time, so pet sitting easily fits into my routine. We have a fenced yard and (1) dog (Dudley). He is friendly and loves making new friends. Your pet will be treated like family. Plenty of walks, playing, and interaction throughout the day.
About: Hi! My name is Samantha and I have had and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I haven’t known life without having dogs around, growing up my family had 5 dogs, ranging from puppies to senior pups, big dogs to mall ones. I have the ability to walk, feed, play, bathe, and give medicine if needed to dogs of all ages on top of providing loving care. I am absolutely available for drop in visits, as well as walks and would be in communication with you, to check in and send pictures to make sure you know your pet is being loved and cared for! I love all sorts of animals and at the end of the day they are family, and I will show them so much love! I have a lot of flexibility and am able to do check ins throughout the day as well as in the evening if needed. Overnight stays at my house also work as I am most days during the night time. I have a fenced in front area and one dog to keep your dog company. I also have a crate and a separate room to keep your dog in if needed!

“Connor was great watching our cat Pepper while we were away! He sent photos and a detailed check in each day, making sure she had everything she needed. He went above and beyond cleaning around her little box and taking out the trash when he noticed it was full. Pepper can be quite shy, and he took the time to coax her out with toys and give her extra attention! Would highly recommend Connor for any pet sitting needs!”

“Francesca did a wonderful job. It was out first time going on a vacation without the dogs, and she made it to where we enjoyed our vacation and didn't stress or worry about our fur babies. She takes wonderful pictures and updates on everything going on. She is very sweet and will take good care of your fur babies!”

About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!
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: 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 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.
“★★★★★ I had such a wonderful experience with her caring for my cat through drop-in visits! She did an amazing job, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and was incredibly attentive and reliable. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will definitely book with her again! ❤️🐾”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and had two of my own since I was little. I’m comfortable with walks, baths, feeding, and giving them lots of love! I’ve also dogsat twice this year, providing walks, potty breaks, meals, and plenty of cuddles. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule while job hunting, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I love staying active, exploring walking trails, and spending time outdoors. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and follow your instructions. I keep pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, following feeding instructions, and making time for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles.

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.
“Glen was fantastic!!!! He went above and beyond making Lola feel happy, safe and secure. I would absolutely recommend Glen to anyone who wants their fur baby taken great care of. We will most definitely use Glen again! Wonderful experience!”
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in a veterinary class I attended for a couple years. I enjoy being there for their needs. I work part time so I have days where I can gladly be with them and even after work I’d love to be with them too. I would have the clients pet stay in areas where the owner wants and need for it to be. I’ll keep them in the right area. Play and care for them while cleaning anything they do.
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs my entire life. Growing up with a dog at home since birth taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency in pet care. Beyond that, I had the incredible experience of assisting in raising a guide dog, which deepened my understanding of training, responsibility, and the unique bond between humans and dogs. These experiences have given me both the skills and the heart to provide exceptional care and create a safe, loving environment for any dog. I am currently a graduate school student with an extremely flexible schedule. I have large gaps in the afternoons with many days with no class. I would be able to accommodate lunch walk/bathroom breaks as well as morning and evening check ins if needed. I prioritize caring for pets exactly how their owners prefer. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any special needs to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment, and I’m happy to accommodate their usual routines as much as possible. My apartment also features designated dog play areas that are available for use, giving dogs plenty of space to exercise and socialize. Whether in your home or mine, my goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I have owned pets for 25+ years. I currently have two dogs and a bearded dragon. Patience is my expertise!! Just call me Dr. Dolittle! I’m currently working part time and looking to help with others in my down time. I am available as needed to help you with your animals! I am very gentle and patient when caring for animals. I like to take walk and give tender loving care! I can treat your animal just like I would my own.
“Nicholas is the perfect sitter for my dog. He treats my big pup like an old friend, and my doggie loves to see him. It’s so great to have a trusted person as our dog sitter! Highly recommended !”

“I HIGHLY recommend Allexis. She has a warm and welcoming personality. She was able to accept my last-minute booking request before I left for a multi-day trip. My fur baby loved her when they met during the meet and greet. And she left a doggie “treat bag.” 😊 I plan to book her again next month.”

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!!!!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
