“This was my first time with her as a dog sitter and I had a great experience. I felt very confident throughout, especially because of her detailed updates, photos, and clear communication about anything that came up. She was reliable and easy to communicate with, and she took great care of my dogs. They were in excellent condition when I returned. I will definitely book her again in the near future.”
“Megan is so reliable, communicative, and loves our animals so much! She is very understanding and happy to follow long sets of directions. She has watched our pets multiple times and I would highly recommend her!”
About: I worked at Big Dog Ranch Rescue down in South Florida for 2 years before moving to Orlando and working at a dog daycare at a veterinary hospital in Winter Park. I worked at the dog daycare for 9 months before transferring to their pharmaceutical department. I also own 2 cats of my own and fostered a pitbull named Koa for 7 months before he got adopted. I adore animals, and would love to be able to take care of them in my free time. I currently work full time, monday through friday 8am-5pm, however I would love to drop in on weekends or holidays if need be to walk dogs or take care of cats. I have walked many different dogs ranging from 5lbs to 130lbs, and have no issue walking them on a leash. I have experienced dogs with a variety of behavioral issues such as food aggression and toy possession.
About: I recently worked at a professional dog daycare, where I cared for and supervised dogs every day. My experience includes group play, handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels, monitoring behavior, and keeping dogs safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have two Boxers of my own. I trained both of them and have plenty of experience with energetic, intelligent dogs who need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Through my work, I’ve been trained to read canine body language and recognize signs of excitement, stress, anxiety, overstimulation, and when a dog needs space. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs. I’d love the opportunity to give your pup one-on-one attention and provide the same thoughtful care I give the dogs I work with every day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have open availability and can dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care. I’m able to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and sitting schedules, and I enjoy having the opportunity to build my day around each pet’s individual needs. In my home I have two very playful and friendly dogs! One likes to rough house and the other is gentle but I always keep an eye on them when they are playing together, around other dogs, and with other dogs that are not each other. I have a fenced backyard that has plenty of room to run around in!
“We had an awesome experience with Tori! She had a great initial meeting with Coco and asked lots of questions to make sure he was well cared for while we were out of town. There was great communication after each visit and pictures to let us know he was doing well. We never had a worry while we were away and returned to find him happy and relaxed. Very pleased with Tori and the care she provides!”
About: I have grown up and been around dogs my entire life. Before my kids were born my dogs were my kids and I treat them as family members. My dogs would sleep in my bed and I would take them everywhere I possibly could because they were my best friend. I feel that all dogs love their owners unconditionally as long as you treat them appropriately. A concept that was brought to my attention a long time ago regarding dogs is that they might not be the most exciting part of our day, but we are the most exciting part of theirs and they look forward to seeing us every day. I wake up every day appreciating that fact and my dogs have always return the favor I work close to home and I’m off on weekends. I have a lot of flexibility from my regular job to facilitate any pet need. I’ve always treated any of my pets like my children. They get a lot of attention, exercise, and play time. Pets that I have watched over for friends and family get sad when they leave my house because they have had such a good time.
“I cannot tell you how relieved I was on the first day when I received multiple photos of Archie! Orly kept contact showing concerns about his refusal to eat at first and then how she tempted him and got him to eat on the second day! Orly was definitely the right choice when choosing someone to love and care for Archie “almost” as much as we do. Thank you, Orly, from Tom, Debi and Archie!! ❤️”
“Highly recommend Natasha! She does an amazing job with our fur babies. We can go on a trip and feel at ease because we know she is treating our pets with so much love and care. Our kitties really love her and she goes the extra mile to make sure everything is clean and also takes care of our fishes!”
“Lisa has been absolutely amazing and a very great help! She is very good with my high energy dog and my kitty. She is very punctual and thourough and will take great care of your pets. I would highly recommend!”
About: I am an animal lover with my own pets, and I use Rover when I am away. I focus on reliability, active engagement with your pets during visits, and peace of mind while you are away from your pets through good communication. I work for myself, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your pets. I work for myself, so my schedule is very flexible for visits. I have reliable transportation and a safe driving record. I am willing to accommodate any specific timing schedules needed. As a pet owner and Rover client, I understand how leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust. I treat every pet in my care as I do my own pets and promise you can trust me to keep your pets safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am a dog mom all the way. I always had a family dog growing up, for 16 years, and now I have one of my own. Espresso is my 70 pound American Bully, the sweetest bulldozer. He is my whole world and I take him to training biweekly, so I have become well acquainted with dog care, responsibility, and love. Although I have one hand, I am extremely capable of caring for animals. I love to take my own dog on long walks, so I would love to do the same for others babies as well! I am also available for pop ins full of love, treats, or both. I work Tuesday-Saturday’s, so Sundays and Mondays are my best days. The other days of the week I am off by 4pm, so I don’t mind evenings as well! I love walking with the doggos letting them get all the sniffs! I will abide by any instructions given to me by the pets owners. Food instructions, leash/collar/harness preferences, and walking routes. I’m comfortable with whatever will make you and your fur baby comfortable.
“Phoebe was fantastic. Even stayed with Mad Eye after the walk because she was afraid as a storm passed. Phoebe definitely went above and beyond! Definitely recommend.”
About: I've taken care of multiple neighbors pets as well as friend's and family's pets for years. Love taking them out for walks and making them wag their tails! I’m currently a graduate student in PA school and am about to start my clinical rotations! Because my schedule varies from rotation to rotation, my availability may change throughout the year. Some rotations allow me to be home much more frequently than others. Before accepting any house-sitting request, I’ll always discuss my schedule with you to ensure it matches your pet’s potty break, exercise, and companionship needs. I only accept bookings when I know I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, potty breaks, and lots of love. I carefully follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, and house rules. Our old baby was blind and diabetic so I know how important a consistent schedule can be. I love providing regular updates with photos as well so you know how loved your fur baby is :)
About: I have grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I enjoy being around animals and love to take care of them. I own two female German shorthaired pointers who have TONS of energy! And that’s what I love most about them. I know how important it is to meet all animals exactly where they’re at temperament wise. I truly enjoy being around animals…more than humans sometimes! I look forward to getting to walk or play with your fur babies! I work a hybrid job, so I am remote 2-3 times a week where I am fully home all day with my pups. On the days I go into the office, my partner comes home during lunch to let our dogs out. On weekends, I am home full time as well. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for activities! My own pups love to run around and play fetch back there. Dogs are allowed in furniture and to sleep in the bed in my house.
About: I have had several cats throughout my life and enjoy taking care and spending time with them. I also love taking care of dogs and enjoy running and walking with them. I’m very patient with animals and will give them all the attention that’s needed. I’m available every day of the week! I am available early mornings and evenings and even open on the weekends! I’ll just need a heads up on the times before hand. I have a few cats that are indoor/outdoor, but always bring them in at night. I am very attentive to my animals and ones that I care for. I always give them time of the day to play and get their energy out. I am very energetic so I can give them walks and play time as much as possible.
About: I treat every pet as if they were part of my family. I understand that every animal has unique needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets who require extra patience and specialized care. I have experience caring for elderly pets, including administering medications and following detailed care routines to keep them comfortable, healthy, and happy. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or a little extra attention, you can trust they'll receive compassionate, dependable care in a safe and loving environment. I offer pet care seven days a week and maintain a fairly flexible schedule to meet your needs. I spend my daytime hours caring for my young child and studying at home, which allows for plenty of attention and companionship. I have a very large fenced in yard that's perfect for getting those zoomies out! I do also have one other dog (a border collie named Nori). She is very friendly and would love to play with your fur baby during the day. We have plenty of toys to go around from frisbees, to tug-of-war, to balls, to squeakers, to chew toys. We don't really restrict off-furniture rules, so unless you want me to, your fur baby will be free to chill on the couch or our bed as if they were at home. I do ask that you do not bring your dog's toys. If you would like, you can bring a bed with you.
About: I frequently dogsat my sister's doggy and she is like a little niece to me. On rainy days, I make sure to wipe her paws before she goes in the house after a walk. I am attentive to if she needs extra potty breaks. I also make sure to have her practice her tricks (sit, paw, up-up, bang, roll over, say bye-bye) few times everyday. I have experience with watching small dogs and dogs up to 100 lbs. I currently work from home 5 days a week so I am able to walk your pup a couple times during the day and if your baby is up for long walks, I will take him/her exploring nearby neighborhoods or going on trails for hour long walks in the evening. I have a background in nursing and experience giving dogs injections, so I’m comfortable providing extra care and administering medication if your pet needs it. I currently work from home 5 days/week and I would love to be active with your fur child and go on walks in the evenings and on my off days I live in a single home with a fenced in backyard with no pets. I live a neighborhood complex with sidewalks so I can provide frequent walks.

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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Apopka stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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.
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.

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.
