“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”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets of all ages, personalities, and activity levels. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra exercise and training reinforcement, an anxious pet who needs patience and reassurance, or a senior companion who requires special care, medication reminders, and a slower pace. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering basic medications, maintaining exercise routines, and providing plenty of affection and attention. Reliability, communication, and safety are my top priorities. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so pet parents can have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment while ensuring their routines stay as consistent as possible. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate, creating a positive experience for both pets and their families.

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.
“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: Throughout the years, I have had the privilege of caring for a multitude of pets. From energetic and playful youngsters to wise and delicate seniors. I have gained valuable experience in tending to the needs of beloved animals. Rest assured, I am fully equipped to handle all the responsibilities that come with caring for your cherished pet! I currently work from home and am able to care for your pet as if you were home. The most I would be away is for an hour or so. I am fortunate to possess a dog-friendly haven, perfect for leisurely strolls and a large fenced in yard for play! My home is always clean for myself and my guests, regardless of how many legs.
“Rachel is an awesome sitter whom my cats really learned to like. We have 3 cats and she cared for them well and communicated to us frequently, as well as send photos. She replies quickly and have not had any issues when we use her. She is trusted and will be our future cat sitters! Recommend to all!”
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.
“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 have had many pets over the years, I have a special skill set for high anxiety dogs. My 10 year old Dalmatian is high energy high stress and high anxiety. I’m great with long walks, letting them get their sniffs out and understand the importance of having someone to help while you’re away. I’m currently available for drop ins or walks Mondays and Thursdays anytime as well as the weekends. I’m flexible to your needs, if you need a long walk or just a quick check in I’m happy help. I can’t bring another dog into my home due to my dogs anxiety I can only do dog walking outside the home. I do not wish to offer this service
“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.”
“Danilyn did an amazing job looking after my fur babies! She has very good communication and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future! :)”
“Sasha was very easy to communicate with. She asks all the right questions to help her be prepared for the drop in visit. She addressed all concerns I had wanted someone to look out for, and wrote up an extremely thorough report about her visit with plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her for your drop in needs”
About: I've loved and cared for dogs my whole life, and pet sitting lets me combine that with something else I enjoy: helping people. My own Jack Russell, Marley, keeps me on my toes, so I'm very comfortable with high-energy pups who need plenty of exercise and stimulation. I've also cared for senior dogs over 12 and understand that older pets often need a gentler pace, extra patience, and close attention to their comfort. I've walked and dog-sat for friends and neighbors many times, and I treat every pet like my own. If your pup struggles with separation anxiety, I'm happy to spend time with them during the day so they get company, attention, and exercise while you're away. My professional background is in fast-paced, detail-oriented work, so you can count on me to be punctual, organized, and communicative. I live in town year-round, have a flexible schedule (including weekends), and have reliable transportation. Short walk or long adventure, I'll tailor each visit to what your pet needs. Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with dogs, have one of my own, and have cared for friends' and family's pets for years, so walks, feeding schedules, and noticing changes in a pet's mood or health are second nature to me. I'm available Monday through Friday from 8am to 7pm, which means I can offer consistent, dependable care whether you need a midday walk or a quick drop-in. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly, from feeding amounts to favorite walking routes, and I'll send photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat your home and pet like my own. Before we start, I'll learn your pet's routine, feeding instructions, and emergency contacts. Dogs stay securely leashed on every walk, and drop-ins include fresh food and water, cleanup, and plenty of attention. I always lock up behind me and send photo updates after each visit

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.
Donna was amazing! She was able to get me out of a pickle last minute and for that I am forever thankful. She was very intuitive in asking questions to make sure she properly cared for my babies. She did an amazing job and the zoo was very happy with her and greeted her every day. To include my most skiddish cat!! Thank you Donna! I look forward to having you back!
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!
Allee was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my cat and made the whole experience stress-free. She was dependable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious she genuinely cared about my cat and made sure she felt comfortable and loved. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Allee to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter. I’ll definitely book with her again!
I had a great experience with Arelis watching my cat, Carter. She cared for him over seven days with drop-in visits and was very communicative the entire time. She consistently checked in with updates and made sure I knew Carter was doing well, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Carter was well taken care of, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely trust Arelis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.
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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Apollo Beach is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,571 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Apollo Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apollo Beach. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
