“Glorienid was so accommodating and stepped in to care for Mani after another sitter canceled my booking. I really appreciated her being there when I needed her, and Mani absolutely loves her! Knowing he was happy and well cared for gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I’ve already booked her again for my next trip. Thank you, Glorienid!”

“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!”
“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!”
“Larissa is the perfect dog sitter! She’s so sweet and patient with our rambunctious boys and sent us frequent updates and photos while we were gone. It’s always nerve wracking finding a new dog sitter after moving but Larissa eased all our worries by being so communicative and reliable! 10/10 would book again”

She gives us peace of mind as we’re traveling in knowing that Davy is in such great hands! She also leaves our home clean and tidy, and we truly appreciate it. Would recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter for their pet!”
“Sarah watched our 2.5yr old Golden Retriever, Blitz, over this last weekend and she was GREAT! She is very in tune with Blitz and we always feel comfortable going away knowing he is in good hands with Sarah. She has watched Blitz before and is always very good about giving us updates with lots of pictures and videos which we really appreciate. We highly recommend Sarah for your next dog sitter! Your loved one will be in the best of hands.”

“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“We booked Elizabeth extremely last minute. She was professional, responsive, and delightful. Cira just loved her time with Elizabeth. Our home was as if she was never here when we returned. She went above and beyond to make sure Cira did not feel alone while we were away. The neighbor next door enjoyed meeting her over the fence line and has requested information to use her services in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apopka
Naomi did a great job taking care of our two girls. She came over a couple days ahead of the sit to meet them and see where everything was. Our dogs fell in love with her instantly. She brought a calm demeanor with her that I've never seen before. It seemed to ooze over onto our girls which kept them so calm and relaxed that I swear she is a true dog whisperer! Our older girl just kept rolling over and asking for belly rubs and even put her paw onto Naomi's foot! She never does that with a new person within the first 10 minutes of meeting them. In addition to taking excellent care of the pups, Naomi also made sure the house was left as clean as it was when we left and even stripped the bedding before leaving. We would not hesitate to hire her in the future!
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 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Apopka is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $48 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,123 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apopka. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
