About: I have over 12 years of professional experience working with a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and horses. I have extensive experience in handling, training, and providing veterinary care for pets. I worked as a veterinary technician for many years at private practices and most recently at Miami-Dade County Animal Services. I hold a veterinary degree (though I do not hold a U.S. license to practice as a veterinarian). Because of my background, I am fully equipped to provide specialized care, including administering medications precisely and safely. I have no problem taking care of puppies, senior dogs, or pets with specific medical needs. You can trust that your furry family members will be in expert, loving hands. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexible time to dedicate to your pets throughout the day! I am fully available for overnight boarding and home care to ensure your furry family members get constant attention and love. Safety and top-notch care are my absolute priorities. I specialize in overnight boarding in a loving, secure home environment where your pets will feel safe and relaxed. With my extensive veterinary background, I am exceptionally skilled and precise at administering medications, managing treatments for older pets, and handling senior care with ease. Puppies are also very welcome! Whether your pet needs specialized medical attention or just a cozy place to stay while you're away

I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about Leanet! She was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Leaving my dog with someone else can be nerve-racking, but Leanet made me feel completely comfortable and at ease the entire time. She constantly sent me the sweetest updates, pictures, and videos, and I never once had to wonder how my dog was doing. It was so clear that she genuinely cared for her and treated her like her own! On top of everything, she is just the sweetest, kindest person, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Having that peace of mind while I was away was truly priceless. I am SO grateful I found her and will 100% be bringing my dog back to her anytime I need a sitter! I couldn’t recommend her more!! ❤️
I have left Liv with Dean a lot of times for several years now and have always appreciated how he treated her. This time my flight back got delayed and car was in service so Dean not only helped me out and dropped Liv off, but also did it at 11pm Sunday before week. Also, Liv started experiencing anxiety lately and it seemed as she was still comfortable with Dean. Thank you so much for taking care of my puppy and I will always be back!
Idania and her family just love my Santi!! I always feel very comfortable leaving her with them.. Idania provides exceptional care and love to my fur baby.. I have left my pet for the 3rd time with her now, and I can honestly say Idania is wonderful !!! Thank you so very much Jackelin
Marina is truly a gem! I was super anxious about leaving my dog with someone new for the first time, but she immediately put me at ease. She was so responsive and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. She has a gorgeous backyard, and her two daughters took care of my fur baby like she was their own. My dog had such a great time! I couldn’t recommend Marina enough. 🤍
During the weekend Sheldon spent with Cathie, he was very happy and comfortable. She treated him with love and kindness. She also sent us updates and photos daily, which made us feel reassured. I would recommend her to anyone needing this type of service for their pets.
Mimi had a great time with Olga and the family. Mimi was attended to and walked multiple times a day. Mimi interacted with other dogs and kids which was great! Received constant updates and videos/ photos which relieved us knowing she was in good hands for a few days. We would definitely recommend Olga and the family for the stay knowing your furry family member is taken care of while you’re away.
Our Cocoa had a fab time staying with Leo. He provided updates and photos everyday. We rescued Cocoa from the streets a few weeks before and required boarding before taking her back to the UK - Leo boarded her and he made sure that there was no halt in progress with her in terms of training and diet. She looked amazing when we picked her up and we could tell that she was well looked after with Leo.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Galyna took such great care of Snoopy while I was away and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Snoopy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her! 🐶💛
I appreciate how accommodating Anthony was, he worked with my schedule and took care of Milo for 3 days straight. Thank you so much Anthony for taking care of my puppy on such short notice. Im happy Milo was able to socialize with the other dogs as well. I would definitely book with you again if im in the area.
This is my second time booking with Liora and it was just as fantastic as the first. Liora is communicative, caring, and my pup is treated like family while staying with her. I’m truly grateful to have been connected with such a great sitter and will for sure continue to book her in the future!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bal Harbour is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $63 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Bal Harbour can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bal Harbour home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bal Harbour.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bal Harbour. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Bal Harbour sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
