“Brenda and Dwain were INCREDIBLE! We left for a week long trip and I was so nervous about making sure our babies were okay. From the start Brenda and Dwain were very present and attentive to the animals and wanted to make sure they followed their routine to a T. Our dogs eat homemade food and they stayed active with making their food through the week, as well as stayed consistent with their daily walks. One of our dogs was having a hot spot issue when we left, but they stayed on top of treating it with the medicine we left and when we got home his hot spot was almost completely gone! They sent updates and pictures multiple times a day which made me feel so much better! They even took the time to write little “stories” about the day which were so fun to read! We didn’t have to worry at all on our trip because we knew they were all well taken care of. When we got home, our house was clean and virtually untouched and all the animals were happy and healthy! I couldn’t recommend Brenda and Dwain enough! If you want a family that will treat your animals and your home like their own while you are away, book them!! Thank you guys so much!”
“Naomi is awesome!! I truly cannot say enough good things about her! We are out of town for work for weeks at a time and she takes care of the everything. Super trustworthy! My dog was a bit of a jerk at first and she handled it amazingly! They are best buddies now. She communicates the entire time so your mind is at ease. Looking forward to having her continued services!”
“Ayana was with the dogs the majority of the time of the 4 day sit She took very good care of my pug and lab mix She left the house in great condition She had great communication with me during our time away I recommend her without reservation”
“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!”
“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!”
“First time using Rover, super nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn’t know in my hotel but felt it was a better option over doggy daycare! I choose Thanya because of her current work history working with animals as a vet tech! I felt my dog would be safe in her hands with her additional knowledge in her field of work! She made the entire process so easy, she did a meet and greet which she does not have to do which was KEY to meet us, our dog and see the location of where she needs to go vs just showing up the day we needed her. She was very friendly, flexible and on time! She took the trash out which was not asked of her and cleaned up after herself. I know my dog liked her because day 2 he didn’t bark at her when she walked in the door she had gained his trust! She followed eveything asked of her in regards to spuds needs, schedule and my little extra crazy about germs with shoes off in the hotel and washing her hands every time she walked the dog and returned back to the apartment hotel. Highly recommend, we will be using her again the next time we come to Florida and sending her info to friends and family. She is Mahoney & Spud Approved! Worth every penny! Took the best pictures of my dog too one I actually plan to frame when I get home! 🐾”
“Steffanie was wonderful with our dog and fussy cat. We got updates and pictures from her daily. She went above and beyond in everything she did. I would have her sit with our pets again in a heartbeat. Thanks Steffanie. 👏”
“Danielle was amazing with Skai and very communicative. She sent me pictures throughout the stay and I felt very secured. She took amazing care of Skai and I would definitely book again!”
“Noelle took the time to meet with our anxious pup multiple times before we went out of town. She was communicative, sent photos and left our house in great condition. Will definitely be booking Noelle 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!”
“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.”
“Maria was great! She took great care of my golden (Wally), sent lots of pics, and provided excellent communication throughout her stay with him. I would fully recommend her and would not hesitate to have her stay with Wally again.”
“Phoebe was wonderful with our animals, kept us updated throughout our trip, and left the house looking great upon our return. Would absolutely recommend booking with her!”
About: After 7+ years of pet sitting, I know that leaving your furry family member isn't easy. I began sitting after losing my own beloved dog a few years ago—and while my heart still misses him, caring for other pets has been incredibly healing. I treat every dog like they are my own, offering the same snuggles, playtime, and patience I gave him. Your pup won't just be 'watched'; they will be loved on while you're away. Home full-time while I prep for the LSAT, so your dog gets nonstop company 7 days a week. I weave walks and playtime into my study breaks—so while I'm hitting the books, your pup is getting all the belly rubs and fetch sessions they want. 7+ years of pet sitting experience, and I genuinely miss having a fluffy companion around since losing my own dog. Let me spoil yours while you're away! While I'm home full-time studying for the LSAT (available Sunday–Saturday), your dog will have the run of the place—literally. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for unlimited fetch, zoomies, and sunbathing, plus ample indoor space for cozy naps and supervised play when we come inside. With 7+ years of pet sitting experience and a heart still missing my own dog who passed a few years ago, I know how important it is to find a safe, roomy, and loving environment. Your pup will get daily walks, constant company, and all the space they need to feel right at home.
“Jenna was absolutely amazing! She took great care of our pups and our house while we were gone. She left the house cleaner than when we left and took great care of everything. Our dogs loved her and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Sharon has been such a reliable and communicative dog sitter for our pup, Davy. During her stay, she sent photos and updates to ensure we stayed informed while we were away. 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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Apopka
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.
First of all, I must say that Brenda and Dwain are great ambassadors for Dog setting. Prior to us going on vacation our dog Molly suffered two seizures in one day and we were about to go on vacation in a month and a half, having Brenda and Dwayne taking care of Molly and ensuring she got her medication while we were on a cruise in the Caribbean. There was a point during the vacation. Molly didn’t want to take her medication with the pill pockets. Dwayne and Brenda got some peanut butter and insured that Molly had her medication the entire time we were gone. I plan on using Dwayne and Brenda more often because of the care that they gave Molly, also they took pictures and gave us daily reports and how she was feeling while we were on the cruise. I would highly recommend if you have a pet that you love very much hire Brenda and Dwayne.. I want to thank both Brenda and Dwayne for taking care of our puppy. I highly recommend them. David & Denise. 🙏
We are so thankful that we found Davi for our animals. She was incredible! We were gone for five nights, and she made us feel very confident leaving. Our pups absolutely adored her, and she paid close attention to every detail. Whether it was playtime, potty time, walk time, feedings, etc. She was on top of it all and we will most definitely book with her again. 😊
We have the most amazing sitter. Our dogs felt st home right away. She is the most caring dog sitter we have had before. Donna sent pictures of our dogs everyday and told us how were them doing. Definitely we will book Donna again. She even sent me home with a jar of fresh jam she had made herself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ♥️ 🐶🙏

FAQs for House Sitting - South Apopka
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Apopka on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,132 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South 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 South 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 South 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 South 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 South 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.
