“Naomi was AMAZING! I highly reccomend her. She took care of my dog, cat, and rabbit for me while I was gone. She sent me a message everytime she would check in on the pets. I am always worried about them but Naomi but my nerves at rest. Naomi was excellent with giving my pets attention even my indoor/outdoor cat who is skittish of everyone let Naomi pet her and let her inside the house. I will differently be using Naomi in the future!”
“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kayla was absolutely AMAZING, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! ❤️🐾 From the moment she arrived, she was so sweet, kind, thoughtful, and incredibly considerate with all of our pets and our home. We have three dogs and a cat, and Kayla was stellar at taking care of every single one of them. She sent us SO many wonderful pictures and kept us consistently updated throughout her stay, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She walked the pups every day, played with them, gave them lots of love and attention, and made sure everyone was happy and well cared for. What impressed us most was how attentive she was to all of the little details we shared with her. Our pups have some specific sensitivities around resource guarding, so we gave her quite a few things to be mindful of, and she handled everything with such care and awareness. She was incredibly respectful of our instructions and clearly took the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and personalities. It was obvious that Kayla genuinely cared about our babies and wanted them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We came home knowing they had been in wonderful hands, and that means EVERYTHING to us. Kayla, we absolutely adore you and would LOVE to have you come back anytime! You’ve definitely become someone we would feel completely comfortable trusting with our entire fur family. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our babies! ❤️🐶🐶🐶🐱 If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, communicative, caring, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with animals, we highly recommend Kayla! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Natalie took great care of Lily for 4 drop in visits! She sent me videos and pics and everything was just how I left it when I got home! Will be re booking her in the future….thank you Natalie!”
“Daphne was probably the best sitter I've had, and I use Rover A LOT. She flooded my phone with pictures of my dog and asked about any every thing she should know along the way. Very kind and even left a little later than requested. I will definitely be a frequent customer. Thanks again Daphne!”
“Sophia was excellent from our initial contact through until she left after completing the job. We received updates and photos throughout her time with Coleman. She was prompt, polite, and just the caregiver our boy needed for the night. Will not hesitate to call her again!”
“I cannot recommend Logan highly enough. From our very first interaction, he was professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for. What impressed me most was the level of attention and care he provided. He was consistently reliable, arrived when expected, sent thoughtful updates, and clearly took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, needs, and routines. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. My dog absolutely adores him, which says more than I ever could. It’s obvious that he genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were his own. Every walk left my dog happy, exercised, and excited for the next visit. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs, look no further. Finding someone you can confidently trust with your pet is rare, and Logan has earned my highest recommendation. I would not hesitate to book with him again and will continue to do so whenever I need help caring for my dog.”
“Shannon was great! She was flexible with our last minute plans, courteous, respectful, prompt, and kept us updated with pup pics. My fur babies loved her and are excited to see her again on our next family outing.”
“My girlfriend and I were worried about leaving our cats with someone for the week, but Francesca made us feel completely comfortable and we didn't worry even a little when we were gone. She sent us lots and lots of updates and photos and always asked questions if she wasn't sure of something. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies. We really appreciate it and we will definitely be reaching out again if we go away!!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets and animals with special needs. I’ve cared for dogs with arthritis, mobility problems, and cancer, helping them move around safely, go outside, and stay comfortable. I also have experience with physical-therapy routines, including assisting a dog with weakened back legs and water-treadmill therapy. With cats and dogs, I’ve helped give medications and have experience giving fluids to a cat with kidney issues. I’ve also walked, fed, and watched neighbors’ dogs, including Charlie, Rosie, and Parker. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs. My schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with consistent attention and care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I can also work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable, whether that means an energetic walk, extra patience with a senior dog, medication at a certain time, or simply giving a shy pet some space. I’m very careful with leashes, doors, gates, feeding instructions, and anything else an owner points out. Having cared for pets with mobility issues and other special needs, I’m used to paying attention to the little things and adjusting my care when needed. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.
“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”
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.
“Highly recommend Ashlee. She is very good to my dogs and they love her too. Ashlee is very communicative and always lets me know when she’s coming and going and how the dogs are doing while I’m gone. I appreciate her taking care of my dogs and my home.”
“Mariah was amazing from first contact! She responded timely and was so gentle and loving with my dogs as soon as she met them during the meet and greet. During her stay she was very respectful, took amazing care of our boys and our home!”
“Skylar was awesome. I needed a last minute dog sitter for a couple of hours and Skylar was kind enough to do a last minute meet and greet the day before I needed her. Would definitely recommend and will book again when I need help with my doggies again!”
“This is our second time booking with her, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! 🥹❤️ I feel completely comfortable leaving our babies with her because I know they are in such good hands. She took so much care of both of them and truly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. She even gifted them some extra treats, toys, and calming goodies for Brover, which was incredibly thoughtful 🥹🐶🐱 It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and that means so much to us. We’re so grateful for how loving, attentive, and thoughtful she is. She went above and beyond to make them feel loved and comfortable, and we will definitely continue booking with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies! 💕”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a child. My dog passed and since have focused on helping friends, family, and associates care for their beloved pets. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and the ability to work remotely if needed. I am an early riser but also happy to accommodate late night visits and over night stays. I currently do not pet sit in my home but am happy to make as many trips as needed to your location, work from your location during the day, or stay overnight if preferred.
“Makenna dog sat for us for 4 nights and was great! She sent pictures daily and kept me in the loop. Dogs seemed happy as ever! She also was a great guest - stripped the bed before leaving and kept the house tidy. Will be rebooking. Thanks again!!!”

Daphne was wonderful with our two large dogs. From the very first meet-and-greet, we knew she was the right choice, she connected with them immediately, which made our decision easy. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own, and they took to her, her husband, and her son so naturally. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were comfortable, happy, and well-loved in our home. We highly recommend her.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brenda, Dwain, and their family! They cared for our three dogs for 3 nights and 4 days, and from the very beginning, we felt like our dog children were in great hands. I was extremely nervous about leaving them—not because I was worried they wouldn’t be well cared for, but simply because we are never apart from them! Brenda and Dwain completely put my mind at ease. We received daily photos along with the best, most entertaining updates that made us laugh and helped us feel connected to our pups while we were away. What meant even more to us was seeing how comfortable everyone became with each other. They trusted our dogs enough to bring their children over to help and spend time with them, which made it feel like our pups were being loved on by an entire family rather than just being “watched.” Coming home to three happy, well-cared-for dogs was everything we could have asked for. We will absolutely trust Brenda, Dwain, and their family to care for our dog children again. Knowing we have people we can trust with them makes the idea of leaving them in the future so much easier. ❤️🐾 Thank you from Mark, Christina, Minnie the pack leader, Molly silent but happy, and Gus the part time construction worker!
I had a great experience with our dog sitter, Ayana. She provided excellent care for Lulu and Astro during my weekend trip, ensuring they were comfortable, well looked after, and not left alone. She was attentive to detail, communicated effectively, and even handled a potty accident promptly and thoroughly. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and caring sitter.
This was our first time using Rover. We usually rely on family or neighbors to take are of our fur babies, but Vivian did an amazing job with our little zoo. She took excellent care of 4 dogs and 2 cats so we could enjoy a week away. She sent pictures daily, asked questions when needed, and kept the house clean. Highly recommend this service and Vivian.

FAQs for House Sitting - Apopka
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Apopka on Rover is $36.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,144 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Apopka. 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 Apopka 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 Apopka 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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apopka. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
