“Lauren was fantastic with my boy. This is also Trunks first time using this app. Lauren made this whole thing so easy and helped me to not have to worry about my boy and his needs. Highly recommend”

“I was really anxious about leaving my three cats at home while traveling for the holidays. I couldn’t have made a better decision in choosing Cristina for animal care. Cristina always responds to messages promptly, takes extra care during her visits (lots of photos and thorough review of the visits), and goes above and beyond (taking in our mail, turning off lights, taking out the trash, etc). Thank you so so much, Cristina! I hope you are available the next time we need a cat sitter!”

“She was great with my dogs! She was always on time, took them for walks, and sent lots of updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have been taking care of cats, dogs and even birds for over 20 years from personal pets to helping neighbors. I am able to bathe, walk, okay and of course feed the fur babies with no problems. I have also helped out with bearded dragons and a few bunnies in my lifetime. I am currently working an overnight job so I am free every weekday up until 3 pm. I have full availability on the weekends so I am able to work around most schedules. Please just reach out I am sure we can figure something out together that works best for you! I am available weekday mornings until 3 pm and I have full availability for the weekends. I am flexible and willing to assist any ways I can.

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.
“Veronica will be our go-to pet sitter, hands-down. From the initial meeting, it was apparent we had selected a true pet lover. Thanks, Veronica, for the detailed feedback, promptness and delightful pics you sent in the status update. It makes our traveling days so much more relaxing to know they’re in loving hands.”


“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”

About: 🐾 Your Pets Aren’t Just Pets — They’re Family! 🐾 Hi, I’m Sherri! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I spent 4.5 years working at a veterinary hospital and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for all types of animals with different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I specialize in caring for large breeds, having been a Great Dane owner for over 10 years. I understand the unique needs of giant breeds — from their big personalities and gentle hearts to their exercise, comfort, and care requirements. Large dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I’m confident providing the patience, handling, and attention they deserve. I have experience with extended house and pet sitting, and my own home is a mini animal family! I currently share my life with a Great Dane named Dunkin, a rescue pup named Potato, a Siamese cat named Yodel, a bird named Yoo-Hoo, and a tortoise named Sam. My animals are my babies and are involved in my everyday life. Many of my pets are rescues and require extra patience, understanding, and TLC — something I provide naturally. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication assistance, special care, or simply a loving companion while you’re away, I’m happy to customize my services to fit their needs. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and spoiled just like they would at home. I’ve been told I take the best pictures 📸, and I love keeping pet parents updated with adorable photos and fun moments so you can feel connected while you’re apart. I’m located in Ruskin, available most weekends, and would love the opportunity to meet your furry (or feathered!) family member. Let’s get walking! 🐶🐾 — Sherri My schedule is currently very flexible. I have a standing commitment on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a local dog walk, but I am available outside of those hours to accommodate your pet care needs. I also offer late-night walks and visits for clients who work overnight shifts or have nontraditional schedules, and I'm happy to work with you to create a schedule that best fits you and your pet. I offer both overnight stays in your home and drop-in visits, depending on your pet's needs. We can discuss the best option during our meet-and-greet to ensure you're comfortable and your pet receives the highest level of care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing them with love, patience, and attentive care. I am also clean, neat, and organized, and I take pride in respecting your home by leaving it just as I found it.
“Awesome! My cat hates everyone but loved Rachel! He even came out of hiding to sit with her. Made me feel so much better while I was away! She was prompt and kept me updated! Highly recommended.”

“Dana was great with my dog children. She gave regular updates, sent cute photos, and took great care of everything. My home was clean, my kids were happy and relaxed when I got back. I will gladly book again with Dana”


“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.”

“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.”

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: Reliable, active, and attentive pet caregiver who understands that every dog deserves patience, exercise, consistency, and personalized care. I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I'm currently a full-time college student, with most of my coursework completed online and only one in-person class at 8:00 a.m. This gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pet's routine to provide dependable, consistent care whenever you need it. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was about 10 years old, so having animals in my life has always felt very natural to me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs with very different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs. I pay a lot of attention to how an animal communicates - what makes them comfortable, what makes them nervous, when they want interaction, and when they need a little space. I know how important familiar routines are, especially when their person is away, and I’m happy to follow the feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and other routines your pet is used to. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting around my workday. I arrange visit times with each client in advance and do my best to keep your pet’s usual schedule consistent. For house sitting, I can work remotely from your home, which allows me to spend more time there with your pets. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and follow their usual routine. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and any special care your pet may need. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, respect their boundaries, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For house sitting, I always meet with you and your pet beforehand so we can go over their routine, home instructions, and anything else I should know before the stay.

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!
“It was our first time using a pet sitter and Donna really put us at ease! We appreciated her professionalism, her friendliness and how she loved on our kitties. She was great with communication and sending pictures. We will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to all pet parents.”

About: I grew up with dogs (German Shepard (Mix), Beagle, Golden Retriever, Min Pin, Havanese) since I was born and raised 3 of my own. I LOVE all animals as well as my family. If we board your dog(s) or we have them for day care, they need to be hypoallergenic. If I go to your house to walk or play with dogs/cats, they do not have to be hopoallergenic. Both my husband and daughter are allergic to ALL Cats and some Dogs. I introduced this love to my daughter 12 years ago when she was 9 (now she's 21) & together, we cared and continue to care for numerous pets in and around our neighborhood. She's in college now, but always enjoys a dog when she comes home for a weekend, holiday, or anytime. I appreciate you in advance for trusting me and my family to take care for your pet(s) whenever given the opportunity. I've personally never known what it's like to not take care for an animal but we did lost our Havanese in the summer of 2024. We will be getting another one, but have not done so yet, so they is currently no other pet at our house. And we have a lot of love to give to all pets. We'll do our best to treat them just like you would. Our goal is to make them feel just like they do at home. If that's the service you're wanting for your fur baby/babies - look no further! Book a meet and greet. Also feel free text me any questions as well. We take care of animals for family, friends, & around our neighborhood. My schedule is flexible & I'm available most mornings, afternoons, & early evenings. Our goal is to care for them just like you do, giving you the peace of mind knowing that they or them are in kind, loving, trustworthy, reliable hands. I have a fenced in backyard and care for any animal around the clock. When housing animals, I do ask that animals do not jump up on the furniture on their own free will. We have leather couches and prefer dogs that have their own dog beds but if needed, we can discuss this in person and do what we can to accommodate them. Our Pepper, had congestive heart failure and was on medication and a special diet, so giving medicines and specific dog food is not a problem. We usually walk dogs 3x a day (2x during extremely hot days), as weather permits. We live in a cul-de-sac, so for many it's just a nice walk around the block for 10-15 minutes. Your fur baby will get plenty of exercise and enjoy the outdoors as they are free to run and play in the fenced in backyard. Thanks again and hope to see you and your fur babies soon.

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!

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 .

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.

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.
