“Kayla took great care of our cat snowflake. Kayla did check-ins in the morning while we were on vacation, and it warmed my heart to see how happy she was in the pictures and videos. Kayla's check in notes were detailed and comprehensive, and we'll definitely try to book her again the next time we're out of town.”

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.

About: I absolutely love dog sitting and spending time with dogs. I've taken care of older animals as well, my own is 11 and has medications. I have cat sat for cats over 15 that are skittish and hard to feed with strict medication regiments. If requested I can happily do small cleaning chores around the house without complaint. I have taken care of cats as well; specifically one that was in its 20s and had to be given medicine every 12 hours crushed & mixed in cat food. I'm currently a student and have class for a short period of time 4 days a week and I also work, as of right now only 3 days a week. But I can work around my schedule to make sure your dog is taken care of. If I am not able to, I promise you I will let you know! Please keep in mind my current work schedule as Rover doesn't allow me to arrange my calendar by day as I wish: Monday: 11:00AM - 10PM Tuesday: 11:00AM - 10PM Wednesday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Thursday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Friday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Saturday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Sunday: 11:00AM - 5:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 5:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) I do not offer at-home service. Although my dog is sweet, he is very skittish around other dogs and I would never want to harm someone else's animal. At your home, I always make sure to be in the same room as them for 1) to avoid them getting into any mischievous actions, and 2) to make sure the dog doesn't feel alone while their loved one is gone!

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.

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: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm used to structured schedules that include morning and evening potty breaks, set feeding times, naps, and check-ins throughout the day. I understand that some pets may need flexibility if they're sleeping, while others thrive on consistency. I make sure each pet gets attention, potty breaks, and time to relax, following their usual routine as closely as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! Growing up with dogs, cats, and birds, I have always loved animals and looking after them! I have taken care of my family/friends fur babies for years now and used to work at petco (5years) and would dog/cat sit for some of the regular clients that I got to know throughout my time there. I’m energetic and love being outside and love spending time playing with animals! My schedule is very flexible and open, I can be available any day of the week and most times as long as I don’t have another commitment. I make sure the animals are well fed and hydrated. I stay aware of my surroundings when on walks or inside, making sure I’m keeping an eye out for other animals nearby or that the door is properly secured..etc I pay attention to the animals body language as well to make sure if I’m playing with them or interacting in anyway, that they seem comfortable and open to that interaction.

“We were looking for a dog sitter who had plenty of flexibility because our schedule is absolutely crazy right now, and when I came across Isaac’s profile, he had exactly what we were looking for—open availability and 10 years of experience! We set up a meet-and-greet on short notice, and Isaac was incredibly accommodating. He came to our home to meet our 9-week-old Boxer puppy, Harley, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. We went over Harley’s schedule, feeding instructions, and routine, and Isaac spent time playing with him. Harley warmed up to him right away, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in Isaac’s care. After the meet-and-greet, we booked our first visit for the very next day. Isaac messaged me as soon as he arrived, got Harley out to play and go potty, and kept me updated throughout his entire visit. He sent pictures and updates while they played and went through Harley’s routine, which gave me so much peace of mind. Having a 9-week-old puppy is definitely a lot, especially with our unpredictable schedule, but Isaac has been wonderful about working with us and keeping us updated. I really appreciate how dependable, communicative, and comfortable he made both Harley and me feel. I would absolutely recommend Isaac to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, flexible, and genuinely caring with their pets. We’re so happy we found him!”

The communication was incredible. I got consistent updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how my cat was doing. When you're traveling, it's such a relief to have someone in your corner checking in on your baby like they're their own. I look forward to working together again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Apopka

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Apopka is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 5,404 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Apopka. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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
  • 93% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
