About: I have raised dogs since I was 10 years old. I have had various breeds from poodles to pit bulls. I cared for family member dogs when they were away.

About: Animal care has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s double-checking paw pads after a walk or simply giving a shy dog the time and space they need to settle in, I take their comfort and safety personally. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years because they know my standard of care: Attentive & Safe: I keep a watchful eye on small details—body language, hydration, and outdoor comfort. Undivided Attention: Without pets of my own, guest dogs receive dedicated companionship and tailored care. Clear Communication: Daily photo updates and prompt check-ins so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first in my home. I am a stay-at-home mom working remotely, which gives me incredible daily flexibility to keep pet care front and center. Because I am home throughout the day, guest pets are rarely left unattended and enjoy a consistent, predictable routine. My schedule easily accommodates tailored meal schedules, timely potty breaks, mid-day walks, and prompt administration of any necessary medications. Whether it is boarding in my home or house sitting in yours, my availability allows me to adapt directly to your pet's normal rhythm rather than forcing them to adjust to mine. In my home, guest pets are welcomed as part of the family in a calm, cage-free environment. I do not believe in crating unless it is Requested by the client, part of your dog’s established home sleep routine, needed for undisturbed feeding, or required for safety. For outdoor time, every relief break and walk is conducted on-leash to ensure complete containment and security. Basic grooming—like baths, brushing, and nail trims—is also available upon request if your dog is comfortable with it. When house sitting in your home, my priority is keeping your pet entirely within their familiar comfort zone. I maintain their regular feeding rituals, walking routes, and household rules to prevent stress while keeping your space clean, secure, and respected. Across both settings, you receive daily photo updates and prompt communication so you always have total peace of mind.
About: I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I know that pets are more like family than pets and I treat them that way! I love to be trusted to care for your beloved pet! If you want your pet to have a loving and fun experience, I am your gal! I am very flexible and my schedule is open. I am a stay at home mom and property manager. I do have errands and school pick up but mostly work from home. I am off on most weekends and holidays. I walk pets twice a day, feed twice a day, and have them go out to potty 2-3 times, unless told otherwise! We are a very easy going, pet loving family! I have a large fenced in yard and a small dog that would love to have some fur friends to play with. I also have older children that will be helping with giving walks and love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 6-8 years, preferably medium and small dogs but now that I’m older I’ve taken care of the larger breeds now. I worked as an animal groomer on the side for mainly friends, family, and people within my neighborhood and communities I’ve been apart of! I specialize in nervous dogs too especially during holidays, fireworks, and sick babies, if you have any dogs that need medication, fed a certain way, or any special needs, I’m the girl for you! I work flex so I can choose my own hours and times to work leaving me a lot of room to tend to the fur babies! I have a fenced yard, two small fur babies( a yorkie and schnauzer) which both are friendly and can keep your animal company especially when being in the backyard. I can easily crate your animals if needed and also crate mine if your animals don’t react to well with others that way they can also have freedom to roam around the yard and house!
“Jadyne was AWESOME! She put quite an effort in making sure our furry child was taken care of in the comfort of our home. Providing continuous updates, regularly taking her on walks, not including the daily picture mail! If you want to ensure things are at ease for you and your family, BOOK JADYNE!”

About: I am a young college student who is dedicated and can keep up with any size dog. I love to go on all kinds of walks and play with dogs and cats I am currently a full time online college student but I am very flexible with walking hours and any other services you may need to book I am flexible with coming to a clients home and to whatever environment your dog would be comfortable with! Just let me know what’s needed
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!
“Nicholas was great with our dog cooper! He did a meet and greet with us before booking which made me feel a-lot more comfortable about leaving our boy with him for the weekend. Nicholas kept us updated the whole time with pictures and videos! Cooper instantly bonded with Nicholas and well def be booking with him for our next trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apollo Beach
Ethan went above and beyond while watching our dog and cat. Extra walks, snuggles, and love! He took amazing care of our animals and our home while we were out of town for 4 nights. Our flight got delayed and he provided one last unexpected walk and feed to ensure our boys were taken care of. Communication was great and we received multiple daily photos and updates. We couldn’t recommend him enough and look forward to using him again in the future! Thank you, Ethan!! 🐈⬛🐶💕
We cannot thank Sandra enough for taking such wonderful care of our babies, Accalia and Lily! 🐾❤️ Being away from our fur babies is never easy, but knowing they were in such loving and caring hands gave us so much peace of mind. Sandra was amazing, and we truly appreciate the love and attention she gave them while we were away. It means the world to us to have someone we can trust with our girls. We highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family! 🐶💕
Sara was amazing with my dogs! She followed all of my instructions, took great care of them, and sent pictures multiple times a day, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy, safe, and in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Sara and would book her again!
Fluffy did great with my dog, Leila! This is the second time we’ve used her, and I will definitely continue booking her for my pet-sitting needs. She’s a great communicator, reliable, and very responsive. She always leaves my house spotless, and most importantly, I have peace of mind knowing that Leila is well cared for while I’m away. I highly recommend her!
There are not words that can express how amazing Sherry is! My husband and I were expecting our first baby and scheduled Sherry for a few days for our scheduled induction. We ended up going into labor unexpectedly. Sherry was so kind and flexible, she came immediately to take care of our fur babies. We had unexpected reason to have to stay in the hospital two days longer and Sherry adjusted her schedule to stay and take care of our home. She was so intensive to our two dogs and cat. One of our dogs wasn’t feeling good and Sherry made her pumpkin dinner and took care of not only her but the mess she made in the house. So to say… Sherry is an spectacular and will be the only sitter we use for all future things. Thank you Sherry for making a special moment in our life a little less stressful and chaotic!
Tatiana was an excellent house and pet sitter while I was away in Medellín. She took great care of Beanz!) and followed all instructions exactly. Communication was smooth the entire time, with regular updates that made it easy to relax and enjoy my trip. I came home to a clean, tidy house and happy animals, and I would absolutely book Tatiana again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Apollo Beach is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $59 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Apollo Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Apollo Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apollo Beach. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
