About: I have a genuine, deep love for all pets in this world… mine have been the most important part of my life. When my baby kitty Lenny crossed the heavenly rainbow bridge last year, Gideon and Einstein rescued me. My focus is specific and consistent: “What does your best friend need? How can I provide this need to them? Is the environment low stress? Your fur babies are so important to me because I truly understand how important they are to YOU. Having no human children myself, believe me, fur babies are EVERYTHING! I put my absolute best effort into making sure your pet feels safe and experiences the least amount of anxiety as possible. I also assist with Senior day care cleaning, shopping etc. References upon request if needed. I am available to work five days a week and weekends if necessary. I’m grateful to have a flexible schedule; I’ve earned the trust to have access into peoples’ homes to care for their animals. I treat every single animal and pet as if they were my own. I make sure to have every day fulfilled with at least a little bit of furry affection or my day just isn’t the same! I have a pet-friendly, pet-safe, pet-happy home! Making sure all the fur babies in my home have what they need is “what I DO!” My sweet cat Gideon couldn’t get more nurturing! He’s very healthy, independent and gentle with his guests”! My philosophy with my home and my animals is: When in MY care, your baby’s safety, good health, and comfort is guaranteed in the anxiety-free environment I provide. I’m extremely attentive to their individual needs, hands-on, and I work hard at that. Their are no short-cuts, no days off with my animals. I have a closed area to make sure your special DOG 🐶 AND KITTY ARE SAFE AND SECURE.IF YOU REQUEST FOR YOUR BABY TO BE CRATED , ONLY AT YOUR REQUEST.I TAKE CARE OF ONE OR 2 FUR BABIES FOR THE LENGTH OF THEIR STAY.I PROVIDE ONE ON ONE LOVING 🥰 CARE FOR YOUR BABY- BABIES.I WILL NOT MIX FAMILIES.IF YOU PREFER I WILL DO A STAY OVER AT YOUR CONVENIENT HOME 🏠.SAFETY, HEALTH AND COMFORT ARE #1 YOUR FUR BABIES WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL MY HOME, I WILL PLAY WITH THEM, GIVE LOTS OF LOVING 🥰 CARE!

About: As a supervisor at the Humane Society, I tend to all of the animals in the building and ensure each employee is doing their best to provide humane care for every animal. Working at a shelter requires fast and clear communication, so updates while you’re away will come to you right away. I treat every pet as if they’re my own and do whatever I can to provide them with a safe, stress free and loving experience. I’ve had animals all my life and worked with countless medical and behavioral cases. I’m currently working full time and am available all day on Sundays and Mondays. I’m always available to sit nights. Willing to accommodate scheduling needs upon request. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. As an experienced animal handler, I’m attentive to animal behavior, stress levels, and individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medications, and supervision, while keeping a clean and secure environment at all times. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I can accommodate any needs in a client’s home. My own home is an apartment so boarding services are limited but am willing to take inquiries.

About: Hi! My name is Sheni and I have 8 years of experience taking care of family, friend’s, and neighbor’s dogs. I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of two precious dogs long term in Jersey before moving here to Florida. This experience has given me the chance to learn the personalities of two very different breeds with different personalities, routines and needs. It has also deeply grown my love for animals in general. I’m extremely caring, patient, understanding, and adaptable to the needs and quirks of every dog I’ve come in contact with. I am committed to treating your dog like my own family and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while away from their real family. I look forward to meeting your furry friend; please feel free to reach out with any questions! As I recently moved to Florida from Jersey, I have pretty open availability most days. I am willing to plan my daily tasks around your needs! I live in a one bedroom apartment with a balcony in Hallandale Beach. The apartment complex has tons of grounds for walking and a really awesome dog park.

About: Growing up with a fur baby since I was 5 years old, I became a sister but also a mother. I loved and cared for my dog immensely and understand how closely we keep our unique animals to heart. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I appreciate all dog breeds and would love to meet each lovely personality! I recently moved from Buffalo to Aventura after obtaining my Physician Assistant degree and would love to care for some animals while I search for a job. Once obtaining a job, I plan on continuing animal care because it gives me a break from the hard things in life. I bring a calm, happy, energy that hopefully makes any pet happy. When staying at a client’s house or at my own, I’m open to feeding, playing, walking, and other requests.

“Haby was simply incredible! She was quick to respond and really jumped in to walk my anxious pup, Luna last minute. My mom was sick and couldn’t walk her and Luna is a very special case. Haby did so great with her and was so patient. She didn’t push Luna to like her and gave her the space she needed to win her over. I recommend Haby for any pet who is special needs, shy, anxious, and all of the above. She was great and am grateful to have met her. Thank you for all you did for Luna, Haby!”

About: Having spent several years helping my mom run a pet sitting business, I know firsthand that the first few days in a new environment or with a new person can be stressful for a dog. My main goal is to make that transition as smooth as possible. I use patience and scientifically proven techniques to make sure that every dog, no matter how shy or anxious, feels safe and comfortable with me. I am fully comfortable with administering any needed medication, whether it’s in pill, liquid, or inhaler form. No matter whether it’s a puppy or a senior, I have the experience to handle them all. If you have special requests or a detailed routine, I’m more than happy to follow them to the last detail to make your pet feel right at home! My schedule is completely open and flexible for anyone and everyone. Whether short notice or planned ahead, I am available to give your dog full care! Everything is done at your pet's pace with full respect for their boundaries. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable, giving you complete peace of mind.

10/10 highly recommend Tomas. Tomas is by far the best option on rover. Great communication, always very polite. I will book with Tomas again and again in the future. My dog loves Tomas. I can tell how big of a dog lover Tomas is by the way he interacted with mine and how excited Stella would get to see him each time.

I had to go through a few dog walkers/sitters as I have two large bully breed dogs that are also leash reactive. Herbert’s knowledge on dog body language was a huge relief for me to ensure safe walks and to avoid my dogs being triggered from other dogs. He follows my instructions thoroughly and you can tell he genuinely has a love for animals. My pups adore him already, highly recommend!

My experience was extremely positive. I’ve definitely found someone I can trust, and I’m very satisfied. She is the perfect sitter for my pet.🤝😁😊 When my plans suddenly changed, she really helped me out she was flexible, accommodating, and handled everything perfectly. Her professionalism is obvious from the start: she asks the right questions, pays close attention to details, and truly cares about the pet. It even feels like she goes above and beyond what’s expected. She is very careful, knows exactly how to build the right connection with an animal, and it’s clear that this is not just a job for her, but a genuine love for what she does.😁

FAQs for Dog Walking - Aventura

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Aventura is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $29 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 7,419 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Aventura. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Aventura. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Aventura after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aventura. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
