“Jaci was amazing. Professional, courteous, kind, and was excellent in her communication. She took great care of my dog, and my dog clearly liked being with her and around her. I would highly recommend!”
“Candice did an amazing job taking care of Stu. Though he was happy when we came home, there was absolutely no sign that he was lonely. Its clear that Candice spent ample time making sure he was comfortable. Candice also left the home completely undisturbed. I will use her services again and highly recommend her.”
“Denita went above and beyond. She definitely maintained professionalism and the highest level of respect for our personal belongings and property. This was the first time using a service such as Rover and greatly appreciate finding an amazing sitter the first time around. We also appreciated all the photos and updates throughout the time away. You will not be disappointed!!”
“Highly recommend! 10/10! 5 stars. Charish was so sweet to our pugs and sent many updates. She was also so kind and a really respectful guest in our home. We can’t wait for her to care for our girls again!”
“So happy with Brandisha! Pets and house lovingly cared for. It’s so comforting to get pictures and updates and to know all is well. She even stripped the bed and washed the towels.”
About: Growing up, my family had a home rescue of 10 dogs and 6 cats. During my time there, I helped care for all the animals by walking, feeding, administering medication, cleaning, and of course keeping them company! Check-ins with your pet and dog walking: Anytime Pet sitting: Weekdays- I ask for a wi-fi connection to work remotely. Weekends-Anytime Boarding: I have 1 cat who will be kept in a separate room. Currently boarding cats only. Anytime. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and plenty of companionship. Growing up in a home rescue gave me lots of hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. For pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and playtime schedules while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also offer cat boarding in my home. Please note, I have one cat who will be kept in a separate room. I provide a calm, comfortable space where cats can settle in at their own pace, with regular care, playtime, and companionship. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“We had Jay stay in our house dogsitting for 2 weeks. We received frequent updates and when we arrived back the house was in immaculate condition and our dog Missy even received a final day bath. Very pleased with booking.”
“Stephanie took such good care of our Watli. It was our first time leaving our pup and her communication and pictures were very much appreciated. All was good upon our arrival home. Thank you Stephanie (and Jay). 😊”
“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”
“Stefanie sent me pictures of my sweet Ellie every day! She was quick to respond if I had questions or just wanted more pictures. She stayed in my home, and everything was just as I left it. Thanks, Stefanie!”
About: Hi, I’m Cas – I'm here to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free at home! I’ve worked in animal shelters and as a veterinary assistant, so I’ve had hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m familiar with canine & feline CPR and first aid, and I have extensive experience stabilizing critically ill and crashing animals. Whether your pet is perfectly healthy, managing a chronic condition, or just needs a little extra support, I’m confident and comfortable providing high-quality care. Some of the conditions I’ve worked with include diabetes (including insulin administration - and I'm a T1D myself, so you can trust that I truly understand the complicated ins & outs of diabetic care, hypo/hyperglycemia, and monitoring), kidney disease (including administration of subQ fluids), allergies (both skin-related and dietary), and senior pet care. I’m experienced with both oral and injectable medications, and I always prioritize a gentle, stress-free approach. I am a Fear-Free Certified professional, I prioritize minimizing stress for pets during interactions. I will work to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible for your animal. When you entrust me with your animal companion's care, you can expect a reliable, gentle, and knowledgeable approach. I offer pet sitting in your home because I truly believe pets are happiest in the space they know best. I do my best to maintain their routines and provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my flexible schedule, which means I can fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday playtime, or scheduled medications, I’m able to provide care that matches your animal companion's routine without conflicts or time constraints. The most comforting place for an animal is their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. That’s why I offer in-home pet sitting—so your animal companion can stay relaxed and happy in the space they know best. Whether it’s curling up in their favorite sunny spot or sticking to their usual feeding schedule, I make sure everything feels just right while you’re away. My goal is to provide gentle, attentive care that keeps your animal comfortable and your mind at ease.
“Mashon is basically a dog whisperer. She was amazing with Heeley. A very calm person. Heeley is a puppy and can be a handful. She handled her with ease. And in a very loving way. Her mom appreciated that. And if mama is happy everyone is :)”

Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work part-time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pets. With pets of my own at home, I'm already accustomed to daily pet care, ensuring that your pets will receive the attention and love they need. In my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment for pets by providing plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. I follow each pet's routine closely, ensuring they get the proper exercise, meals, and attention. For my clients' homes, I make sure to respect their space while offering the same level of care, following their instructions closely, whether it's feeding, walking, or giving medication. I keep pets entertained, comfortable, and secure, ensuring they feel at home, whether it's in their own space or mine.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always had a natural love for caring for them! 🐾 I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, farm animals and reptiles.

Caring for so many different animals has made taking care of pets a natural part of my daily routine. 🐾💕 I do not have a fenced-in backyard, so I wouldn’t have a private area to let your dog out, but we can always go somewhere public or use your yard if your home offers one. I also have a crate available if needed! I care for every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while sticking to their normal routines.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Apollo Shores on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Apollo Shores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
