“Tyler did a fantastic job caring for my pups! My dog has diabetes and needs special care. He administered meds and kept me updated. I came back to the house clean and my doggies were relaxed and happy. Tyler is very careful to follow directions. I would definitely book with him again!”
“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!”
About: From fitness to a casual stroll,I adjust to your fur babies needs. I am a Central Florida Native so the heat and humidity is "home" for me and walking dogs is my zen space. I am fluid because of my private yoga classes. So I am free most mornings and evenings as well as weekends. I worked in the Theme Parks for over 27 years so I no longer have those hours. I can come to your location, I have experience with delivery services from Amazon and Ups, as well as in home yoga services so I provide the best home care with attention to your family's needs.
“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.”
“Maria was amazing! We felt so at ease having her watch our babies, including our elderly dog who needs extra attention. We will definitely be hiring her again. Thank you!”
“Brittney was amazing with my fur baby!. She provided tons of updates each day and even a photoshoot! I would definitely recommend Brittney and would book with her again. I came home to a very happy and healthy puppy.”
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.
About: I’m a dog mom to two miniature Goldendoodles, Haze and Haeming, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My experience comes from caring for my own dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routines. For walks and house sitting, I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your home, and send photos and updates so you know how your pets are doing. I’d love to meet you and your dog beforehand to learn about their personality, routine, and needs. I have a flexible schedule for dog walks and overnight house sitting. I’ll agree on care times with you before booking and follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. I’ll respect your home and follow your pet’s care instructions closely. On walks, I’ll keep your dog leashed and avoid unfamiliar animals. I’ll check that doors and gates are secure and send photos and updates throughout the stay.
“Linda is incredible! This was our first experience using Rover and having Linda stay at our house to watch our three dogs for a week. Linda is kind and responsible. I felt at ease after meeting her. She communicated and sent pictures daily. We came home to a very clean home and three happy puppies. Linda went above and beyond what we expected. This was 100% better than boarding. I feel like Linda is part of our family and will definitely be a return customer.”
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.
“Carolina was very sweet and amazing with Tina! She gave her treats, pet her, played with her, walked her. Won her heart overall. Sent us videos and photos. Recommended a 100% to tale care of your pets.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love being around them ❤️ I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds from pit bulls, cane corsos, schnauzers, yorkies, and chihuahuas 🐶🐕🦺 So I’m comfortable with both big and small dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality. I also have my own Yorkie Chihuahua mix that I’ve had since he was a puppy 🐾 I’ve personally trained him, & he’s very well behaved & obedient 💕 That experience has taught me patience, consistency, and how to properly care for and communicate with dogs. Your pet will be treated with love, attention, and care like they’re my own 🐾💖 I’m self-employed, so I have a very flexible schedule and am home most days 🏡💕 This allows me to give your pet lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m typically out late Thursday–Sunday (between 1am–6am) 🌙, with Friday and Saturday being my main work nights. Thursdays and Sundays are more flexible for me and can vary depending on bookings. I live in a clean, pet friendly apartment with my friendly Yorkie 🐶 Dogs are allowed to relax and roam safely in the home and will have a calm, comfortable environment to feel at ease. I prioritize safety at all times, keep a secure space, and make sure every pet is supervised and well cared for ❤️ I treat all dogs like my own and always aim to create a loving, stress free experience.
About: Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for years. I previously worked professionally as a dog groomer, so I have hands-on experience safely handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, small breeds, and dogs that may need a little extra patience. My wife is an active professional dog groomer and is also a Rover sitter. We both care for the dogs staying in our home, so your pet benefits from having two experienced people available to provide attention, supervision, and care. We work together to follow each dog’s normal feeding schedule, potty routine, medications if needed, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. We prefer to keep boarding personal and comfortable rather than overcrowding our home with dogs. Our goal is for every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and treated like part of the family while their owner is away.. I currently work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for dogs staying with us. They receive regular potty breaks, attention, playtime, exercise, and supervision instead of being left alone for long periods. We live in a first-floor apartment in a large pet-friendly community with grassy areas, sidewalks, walking trails, and a dog park nearby for exercise and enrichment. We also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing throughout their stay
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life from small breeds to large, including cats and dogs. I am a current owner to a cutie papillon who is a whopping 10 pounds, so I have lots of experience with the little ones, and all of their quirks. I’ve also grown up around large breeds like pitties, so I am confident with the gentle giants as well. I also have experience with neighbors, family friends etc. As a pet owner myself, I understand completely how it can be stressful to leave your furry members at home, whether it be vacation or work; so you can trust me to show all the love to your babies while you can’t. I’m a student with plenty of extra time on my hands so if you need someone flexible for your pets I’m a perfect match! I’m a reliable and trustworthy person so whether your furbaby needs a walk or just a quick drop in you can trust that your pets are 100% safe.
About: Many have said that I am a dog whisperer. I enjoy walking dogs or just being a companion for cats and dogs. I also have senior care training to include giving meds. Right now this is my only job so I am available at all times of morning, mid day and evenings. I always accept positions that leave enough time in between sittings. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I do have a Staffy and he loves making new friends. H had a small dog for 6 of his years in our home and he was so good with him.
“Elizabeth stayed with our girls, Nelly & Stella, at our home over Labor Day weekend. It was a somewhat last minute booking which she accommodated after a meet & greet at our home. She provided photos of our girls throughout her stay which helped us feel connected to our girls while we're traveling. We are very pleased with the experience!”

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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.
