About: I have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. In addition to owning pets, I have pet sat for friends and family and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My family is very pet-friendly, and my children love interacting with pets through playtime and affection while I provide all care and supervision. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and homeschool my children, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Our family spends most of our time at home, providing pets with plenty of attention and supervision. While my children participate in sports activities on some evenings, pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I plan my schedule to ensure they receive consistent care, exercise, and affection. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, potty breaks, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of playtime and affection. Because I work from home and homeschool my children, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family while ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.
About: I was a longtime volunteer with CARE in Ruskin, along with 2 years at Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center. Working in the Pitt Bull ambassador program. I had time to learn from the best instructors and trainers. I have experience with all breeds and age groups. I have lots of love and patience to give to your Fur Babies. I have recently retired, and I have lots of time now to get back into what I love and miss. I would love to get back into this field again. I have so much love for animals and would love so much to be able to help others. I don't have a fenced in yard, so I take walks around my community. I live in a gated community. We also have a small dog part here with lots of shade.
“Tressa was amazing. Our pup had his best day ever playing with her animals and kids. Lots of pics of Levi having a blast all day long and he is going to sleep so well tonight after all of the fun.”
“Excelente servicio, ya en 2 ocasiones Nixi me lo a cuidado y siempre quedo super contenta con sus atenciones, una de las cosas que siempre me preocupa cuando lo dejo con alguien es que deje de comer, pero con Nixi eso no pasa al contrario creo que viene con libras demas :) y sobre todo Romeo siempre lo encuentro feliz. Súper contenta con sus servicios.”
“Calida and Lou always take amazing care of our Ranger. They are flexible and great to work with on arrangements. Our pup comes home happy and tired (a good thing:). He takes medication and has a specific food regiment, all of which they are pleased to accommodate. Thanks so much for your compassion and attention to Ranger!”
“Upon meeting Andressa and Alex, they were both very welcoming during our meet and greet. My dogs were completely comfortable at their house. Andressa sent me a ton of photos of my dogs during their stay and always messaged me back quickly. The pups seemed happy and content after pickup. We will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you again!!”
“Diana took very good care of my puppy and even provided me picture updates and recommendations for care. I appreciate her acceptance of sitting on short notice. Will continue to book daycares with Diana! ?”
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: Hi there, I'm JM! New to the Indy area and looking to give your pets the best care possible. I currently have two dogs and have had them for 10 years. Even though they are seniors, we stay very active with daily walks and trips to the dog park. My love for pets started at an early age when I adopted a cat at the age of seven. That started my lifelong love of pets. Since then I've raised two other dogs and cared for numerous pets. Friends often call on me to watch their dogs when they go out of town or take their dogs out for much needed outdoor time (whether that's smelling all the scents or just getting some exercise)! I have experience training dogs - I've trained three dogs including my current two. I work from home so I'm home most of the day. I also take classes, so I'm away from home 2-3 hrs M-Th. Classes vary I have a fenced backyard and there's a dog park in walking distance. Dogs will have free range to go outside when needed. I take my dogs out daily for walks and will offer the same service for dogs in my care. Dogs will have a separate feeding area and I have an extra room if pets are overwhelmed to relax. We have tons of toys and puzzles if your pets likes to stay busy.
“Jennifer was great! She took care of our puppy as if he was her own. She sent pics and videos to let me know how he was doing. I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands!”
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.
“I have only left my fur baby with 3 people in the last 5 years and Abigail is the 4th...I trust Abigail with Madyson... Madyson had love and attention not only from Abigail and Abigails daughter, but also from Abigails fur babies... I loved not only the updates about how Madyson was doing but also the pictures that Abigail sent to me... This was the first day, of I hope many days, that Madyson will stay with Abigail and play with her new friends... Thank you Abigail for giving me the peace of mind knowing that Madyson is loved and cared for when I am away and she is with you!”
About: I have experience with many different animals, including of course dogs and cats. I have cared for a multitude of breeds, sizes and demeanors for over a decade. I have a bachelors of science degree in biology and hope to have my own farm one day. 🌻🐇🌎 I have open availability and am quite flexible throughout the day for your needs. I work from home so I can pick up shifts off the fly however I prefer 1 day advanced notice when possible. I am not currently offering boarding at the moment but for when I do - I do not have any other pets and a fenced in yard.
About: My wife and I have over 10 years of experience caring for our beloved dog, Miley. She was diagnosed with cancer in her later years, and we loved her through her surgery, which made her a tri-pawd. We worked through her mobility issues together, and we gained experience in giving her oral and subcutaneous injections. We also have experience with giving her oral chemotherapy drugs and taking her to radiation. Despite her challenges, Miley was a happy and loving dog. We loved taking her on hikes and giving her a good outdoor experience. She brought so much joy into our lives, and we are grateful for the time we had with her. We understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be difficult, but we want you to know that Miley taught us everything we know about caring for dogs with special needs. We will love and care for your dog as if they were our own. My wife and I work from home, so we can look after your pet all day, every day, including weekends. But we're not home 24/7 - we leave once or twice a week for 1-3 hours. We love to go for walks in the evening, so your furbaby will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. We will follow your pet's regular schedule. We have a fenced-in backyard, plenty of toys, lots of beds, and even a crate if needed, so your pet will have everything they need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We live in a single story house so your pet doesn't have to worry about climbing the stairs. You don't need to bring anything, but you're welcome to leave your furbaby's favorite toys, treats and/or food if you'd like.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have a strong understanding of their behavior and individual needs. I provide a calm, safe environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with senior care, routines, and administering medication when needed. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. While I do have my own work routine, I make sure dogs are well cared for, comfortable, and not left alone for long periods of time. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special care or medication if needed. Dogs are supervised, given space when needed, and cared for with attention and consistency at all times.

Gabriela went above and beyond for my young puppy. I was nervous about leaving her with someone since she’s a puppy and still going through potty training. Gabriela accepted my fur baby with open arms and even suggested a bath and a nail trim, which was an amazingly convenient service option. We have a new long term puppy/ dog sitter in our family now.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Apollo Beach on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Apollo Beach commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,679 sitters in Apollo Beach, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
