“Diane did drop-in visits for our pets Kiba, Nigel and Maryanne this past weekend and did an absolutely phenomenal job. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly attentive to their individual needs every time she came by. It's not always easy to leave your pets at home, but Diane made the whole experience stress-free from start to finish. We came back to two happy, healthy, well-looked-after pets — which says everything. If you're looking for a pet sitter who genuinely cares and takes the job seriously, look no further. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been the primary caregiver of my two dogs for their entire lives, both now senior dogs. I lovingly take care of them, including administering medication. I enjoy our walks and playtime. I will give your pet the same love and care . I am recent graduate from Florida State University and currently have an internship with the Orlando Solar Bears. I have a lot of flexibility for when I am not working at my internship. I am flexible and will accommodate any need for you and your doggie(s). I have experience with both small and larger breeds. Just let me know how I can best care for your special pet.
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors, as well as northern breeds like Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, and wolf-dog hybrids. I'm highly observant of behavior and body language, recognize early signs that something may be wrong, and provide attentive, individualized care. I'm also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to help keep pets healthy, safe, and comfortable.. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I'm able to plan my day around a pet's needs. Whether that's potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or keeping a consistent routine, I have the flexibility to provide reliable care. I enjoy staying active and am happy to accommodate each pet's energy level, from walks and jogging to playtime, enrichment, or simply relaxing and keeping them company. Every pet is different, and I'm happy to adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I review all care instructions with the owner before they leave to ensure I understand their pet's routine and needs. I make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure, follow all safety instructions, and stay attentive to the pet's behavior and surroundings. My priority is keeping both the pet and the home safe while they're in my care.
“Ashlee went above and beyond for our sweet elderly cat. She’s very needy and needs lots of attention which Ashlee did not hesitate to give to her. She did drop by visits and would over communicate should she not be there at the start of the drop in time but always stayed the full hour. Ashlee gave detailed report of her cleaning our cats nose from allergies, clipping her nails and even cleaned up the litter box. She also took the best pictures each visit to show how happy our little lady was. I cannot recommend Ashlee enough.”
“I was very happy with the service Jewelia provided! She took care of my 4 doggies, and let me know how they were doing every day. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone in the area who needs dog sitting or drop-in service!”
About: I've had dogs all my life. I absolutely love being around animals and have had experience with small and large dogs young and old. I've also cared for special needs animals including dogs with epilepsy and spinal injuries. Animals seem to gravitate to me which is one thing I feel would make me great in this business. I'm particularly fond of larger breeds but really enjoy anytime with dogs.I don't currently have any dogs but do have 4 cats; Loki, Anakin, Drax, and Harvey. I'd be more than happy to take your dog to the park or just around the neighborhood for walks. I love animals of all kinds so consider me for other animal sitting as well! My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet is used to early morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening playtime, or medication schedules, I’ll work to maintain the routine they’re familiar with. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust at their own pace and use positive reinforcement to create a calm, comfortable experience. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and home security. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“We were looking for a dog sitter who had plenty of flexibility because our schedule is absolutely crazy right now, and when I came across Isaac’s profile, he had exactly what we were looking for—open availability and 10 years of experience! We set up a meet-and-greet on short notice, and Isaac was incredibly accommodating. He came to our home to meet our 9-week-old Boxer puppy, Harley, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. We went over Harley’s schedule, feeding instructions, and routine, and Isaac spent time playing with him. Harley warmed up to him right away, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in Isaac’s care. After the meet-and-greet, we booked our first visit for the very next day. Isaac messaged me as soon as he arrived, got Harley out to play and go potty, and kept me updated throughout his entire visit. He sent pictures and updates while they played and went through Harley’s routine, which gave me so much peace of mind. Having a 9-week-old puppy is definitely a lot, especially with our unpredictable schedule, but Isaac has been wonderful about working with us and keeping us updated. I really appreciate how dependable, communicative, and comfortable he made both Harley and me feel. I would absolutely recommend Isaac to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, flexible, and genuinely caring with their pets. We’re so happy we found him!”

“Erika and Damian were absolutely amazing taking care of my dog and cats for two weeks! Their service was outstanding—they kept in touch with me regularly, sent pictures, and Erika always let me know when she was arriving. They both played with my pets and dedicated time to ensure they were safe, happy, and loved. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave to my babies. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apopka
Mariah was great! We have a pit bull that needs special care and attention, she’s was able to handle all of the request properly. Gave our dog all of the love and attention she needed while we were gone on vacation. It was a stress free experience. We will definitely use her again.
Katherine was hired last minute to take care of my dog, and she was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was very friendly, professional, and clearly cared about my dog’s well-being. My dog was well taken care of and happy when I returned. I truly appreciate her reliability and kindness, especially on such short notice. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker! 🐾💕
Denice was a total pleasure to work with. Our meet and greet went fantastic and our dogs loved her. So much so, that the little one normally will not eat when we are gone, ate all her food. If we are ever in this area again, I will definitely use her again We highly recommend her.

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.

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.
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 Apopka 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 .
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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
