“This was our second time using Raegan to drop in on our 2 cats and we highly recommend! She followed all of our care instructions and kept our home clean for when we returned and was very responsive anytime we needed to reach her. We definitely suggest using her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Shannon did a great job again taking care of my pups! She sent me lots of pictures and made sure everyone was happy and healthy. We will continue to trust her with our pups.”
About: I have taken care of neighbors, friends and family's pets. I have had 10 pets in the past 35 years. I have trained 6 puppies. I have had 4 senior dogs. I am a retired teacher. Other than an occasional routine or exercise, I'm home. I have plenty of time to love and care for one of the most important member of your family. I have a fenced yard and can take on more than one dog from the same family. If your pet feels comfortable in a crate, I will set one up, otherwise I do not crate dogs. Dogs are welcome to sit on the furniture and I have dog stairs.

About: I have my degree in Zoology and I have been in Animal Welfare for 9 years. I also have done volunteer work in Sumatra Indonesia, with wild orangutans and local dogs from the nearby villages. The Sumatran Dog Health Program provides dogs basic healthcare for the stray dogs in need. You can find more info about the Sumatran Dog Health Program on Facebook. Some of my pictures are of these dogs. I worked at Auckland Zoo in New Zealand as a zookeeper with primates, The Center for Great Apes as a great ape caregiver. I am also finishing my BA in wildlife conservation. I have had big and small dogs growing up. I love all breeds, we had Rotweillers growing up. I am well versed in dog breeds and dog / cat behavior. I have worked not only in zoos but I have experience in a boarding / doggie day care facility. Here we did walks, one on one play times, treats. I have also worked in a small pet veterinary office, as well as vetirinary care in a zoo setting. I am availble full time! weekends and holidays are a part of the job! I'm a birder and have the zoo experience to sit all feathered or scaly babies too. including Macaws! I am currently working full time as a pet caregiver. i will be going to UWF in spring semester of 2022 and am looking for consistent work until then to save for tuition costs. I have an open and honest communication style, I am detail oriented and have an outgoing personality. I have many years of experience around a range of species, domestic and in the zoological field.
“Dana was a wonderful sitter for my two cats. She was reliable, flexible, and very personable. She made sure to update me regularly and send photos which I love. I would consider her again in the future and highly recommend to others looking for pet care!”
“Great experience! Drue took amazing care of Nitro and kept us updated the whole time. Nitro was happy, well cared for, and comfortable. We’d definitely book again and highly recommend them.”
“She was great. Even called out my baby’s bumps she has all over and wanted to make sure that was normal. What Melissa didn’t know is we had two other dog walkers that day and neither of the other two walkers mentioned a thing about it. I would definitely rebook Melissa again.”
About: I'm a devoted pet lover and proud companion to two joyful dogs, 1 cat, I understand how deeply our animals shape our lives. I don’t just watch pets. I welcome them into a space filled with warmth, routine, and affection. I treat each animal with the same love and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, seen, and truly at home. At home, pets join my two friendly dogs in a calm, loving space with lots of play and snuggles. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and care for them like they’re my own—gentle, present, and always kind. 🐾 At my place, pets hang out with my two sweet dogs in a cozy, calm space full of love. At your place, I stick to their routine and give them the same gentle care I’d want for mine.
About: My extensive professional training in animal handling and behavior sets me apart. While many sitters enjoy pets as a hobby, I have dedicated my career to their welfare. I am a National Animal Control Officer (Level II), which provides me with advanced training in safe animal handling for both dogs and cats, as well as emergency response protocols. My Special Skills Include: Certified Behavioral Knowledge: I hold a certification from Jackson Galaxy (since 2016), allowing me to manage anxiety and behavioral issues with a fear-free approach. Senior & Medical Care: Through my non-profit rescue work, I am highly skilled in caring for senior animals, including administering varied medications (injections, fluids, pills) and managing mobility issues. Trust & Reliability: I run a professional organization, so you can expect the highest level of communication, punctuality, and attention to detail. My schedule is entirely flexible because pet care is my professional focus. As the founder of a non-profit rescue, I have the autonomy to adjust my daily workload to ensure I am available for early mornings, critical medication times, and unexpected last-minute needs. Reliability is guaranteed. I care for every pet with the rigor of a professional rescuer and the heart of an advocate. Safety First: My background as a National Animal Control Officer (Level II) influences every decision I make. I am trained in risk assessment, meaning I proactively identify hazards (loose screens, toxic plants, escape routes) before they become problems. I am also fully trained in pet CPR and First Aid. Building Trust: Trust is built through consistency. Running a non-profit organization requires impeccable ethics and reliability. Whether in my home or yours, I adhere to strict feeding and medication schedules. A Low-Stress Environment: Using my Jackson Galaxy certification, I prioritize the pet's emotional well-being. I don't force interaction; instead, I use positive reinforcement and body language cues to build a bond. I am experienced in maintaining a sterile, healthy environment, ensuring that food bowls, litter boxes, and living areas are kept to rescue-grade standards of cleanliness.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — right now that’s a high-energy 2-year-old golden retriever who keeps me on my toes. I know what active dogs need: real exercise, play, and a calm routine they can count on. Friends and family trust me with their pets when they travel, and I treat every dog like my own. My home has plenty of space, and I’ll send you photo updates so you always know your pup is happy and well cared for. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available every night after 5pm if you need someone to walk your pet or feed them or just have someone to play with them! I have a big fenced backyard and a friendly 2 year old golden retriever who loves to make new friends! I can also crate your pet if needed!
“Tara was so sweet and accommodating even though I contacted her late the evening before I needed her in a pinch for a day time drop in. Sent lots of pictures and my pup was certainly in good hands. Will definitely use again for drop in visits!”
“Calida was a very sweet person who did drop in visits for my cat. While my cat was being shy and NOT friendly, Calida did manage to snap a few pictures for me, lol. I had never met Calida and her hubby prior, but I felt very comfortable allowing them into my home while I was away. I would definitely use them again.”
“Linnea did an amazing job. I needed a last minute sitter to drop in and check on my dogs and she was very communicative, efficient, and caring. She was also very flexible and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. I appreciate her so much.”
“Noel has been an incredible care giver! She is someone you can trust to take care of your pets. She not only went above and beyond each visit, but also took on more days on zero notice when my flight got canceled.”
About: I have experience with both cats and dogs, making sure they have fresh food and water, clean spaces, and lots of attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and keeping cats’ litter boxes tidy. Above all, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. During July and the first half of August, I’m on my summer break from working in education, which gives me a much more flexible schedule. During this time, pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening drop-ins, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any other care needs. Because I’m not tied to the school-year schedule, I have the flexibility to take on recurring visits, extended care, or adjust times based on what works best for the pet and owner. On a weekly basis, I can consistently commit to scheduled visits and maintain a reliable routine, making it easy to provide dependable care throughout the summer months. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their routine. I ensure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them, and provide attention and playtime. For cats, I clean litter boxes regularly, and for dogs, I take them outside for bathroom breaks and walks as needed. Routine Updates: I’ll send updates and photos to keep you informed, so you can have peace of mind while away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apollo Beach
Amanda did such a great job with my pups. On such a short notice she was available to assist me with caring for my pups while I was out of town. This was their first time seeing a stranger so they kept peeing in the cage from excitement. Amanda cleaned them during every visit which was not a part of her job. I truly appreciate Amanda for her care of great service.
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!!!!
Sure! Here’s a polished and friendly review you can use or modify to your liking: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Pet Sitter! I had such a great experience with Aleksandra! She came to take care of my dogs and was incredibly kind, reliable, and professional. From the moment we met, I felt confident that my pets were in good hands. She was punctual for every visit, communicated clearly, and made sure my dogs were happy, well-fed, and exercised. I loved getting little updates and photos—it really put my mind at ease. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy who genuinely cares about animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Apollo Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 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.
