“Naomi was great at communicating with us the entire time. From booking to the last day. She sent pictures of our pets and let us know everything was going well. We will definitely book her again.”
“Daphne did amazing. I have three pit mixes with all different personalities and they all loved her. They are a little needy and she made them feel very loved. My house was also in the same shape I left it which I truly appreciate. Will definitely use again! Oh and she even wrapped some presents for me while I was out. A huge help!”
“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!”
“Dana was absolutely amazing with our pets. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were forced into our first experience with Rover. I feel so lucky that we were able to connect with Dana and that she had availability to watch our pups. Her communication was amazing. She was very easy to work with. She seemed very comfortable with both personalities of our dogs, which is something considering how different they are. The communication and pictures during our trip were outstanding. I couldn’t recommend Dana more. In fact, we have already sent her profile to some of our closest friends. Thank you so much for all the help!”

“Ashlee was great with our pups! Dalmatians can be a stubborn breed but Ashleee got to know them and handles them very well. She is very communicative during the stay and keeps us updated on the pups!”
About: I have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I had my childhood dog for 10 years (ages 8-18). I have lots of puppy experience from puppy sitting my sisters frenchie. I’ve grown up around Shih Tzus, Frenchies, Goldendoodles, Pit Bull mixes, Chihuahuas, Huskies and Great Danes. I love all kinds of animals! I currently work a part time job Sunday-Thursday. I’m available for walks/potty breaks anytime before noon on those days. Friday-Saturday I am off and have lots of flexibility to stay and play with your babies all day. I am also available for boarding any day of the week! I will care for your babies in the comfort of their own home where they will feel safe and comfortable. With parental permission I can also take them to the nearest dog park to play and socialize with other dogs. Regular updates will be given, whether it’s a text or a cute picture or video.
“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!”
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.
“Logan was absolutely fantastic with our dogs! Leaving them behind is never easy, especially because they are highly active and each have their own unique personalities, but Logan made the entire experience stress-free. He gave them plenty of attention, kept up with their energy levels, and made sure they were well cared for while we were away. We loved receiving updates and could tell our pups were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s clear that Logan genuinely cares about the animals he watches, and that peace of mind is priceless. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. We highly recommend Logan to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. We would gladly have him watch our dogs again!”
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.
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.
“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: As a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and way of showing love (or attitude! 😸). I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave them with someone else, so my goal is to make you feel just as cared for as your pets. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and believe communication is everything. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you can actually relax while you’re away. Whether your pet wants a long walk, a game of fetch, a quiet cuddle, or simply someone to respect their space, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I treat every pet like family and every home with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day while house sitting. Your pets won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily fit walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, medications, and cuddle sessions into my schedule. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine. I’m happy to schedule meet and greets to make sure everyone (especially pets) is comfortable. I know that keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. If you have a schedule, I’ll stick to it! Whether it’s feeding times, medications, walks, bedtime routines, or favorite playtimes, I’ll follow your instructions closely. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and the peace of mind that everything was well cared for.
“This was my first time using Rover and Katie did a wonderful job! Not only was she flexible and on time, she was absolutely great and patient with my ultra difficult chihuahua. Most people would have walked out but Katie assured me that he will be okay and he did fine! I would definitely have her house sit my dog in the future! Thank you Katie!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apopka
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.
