“We had Vanessa come back to take care of our two dogs - one of whom is older and has medication needs - and she was amazing - again! What I appreciate the most is how communicative she is, letting us know what goes on every day, complete with photos. I highly recommend Vanessa to take good care of your fur babies!”
“I am so thrilled that Rho took care of Mr.Jake Nibbles, Panther and Stella. My husband's boat didn't sail so I only had her for a couple of days, but she stayed with Jake when it was thundering all night. She's kind and considerate and my dogs really enjoyed having her around. I wish she would have had them for the scheduled 2 weeks, but she did a great job. I would highly recommend her!!!”
“10/10. The most loving, attentive, grateful and dedicated person I could have found to take care of my dog. Linda stayed at my place and she took her of my dog while leaving the place just as I left it! She took the time to get to know the dog and me and I appreciated that so much. She would send me daily videos and pictures and she looked so happy and well taken care of. Thank you so so much Linda!!! An angel.”
“Kylie was excellent - she was a pleasure to deal with and looked after our two dogs as if they were her own. We managed to relax knowing that Kylie was looking after our precious dogs. Highly recommended.”

About: Hola! Mi nombre es Cynthia y me encantaría cuidar a tus perritos. Soy una persona responsable, paciente y amante de los animales. Tengo experiencia cuidando perros de distintas razas y tamaños, tanto en paseos como en el hogar. Me aseguro de que estén bien alimentados, entretenidos y sobre todo, ¡muy queridos! Actualmente estoy viviendo en Miami, tengo disponibilidad horaria y puedo adaptarme a las necesidades específicas de cada mascota. Si estás buscando a alguien de confianza para cuidar a tu perrito como si fuera propio, ¡no dudes en escribirme! Gracias por considerar mi perfil, Hablo Español y me defiendo con el inglés Cynthia 🐾 El cuidado de las mascotas encaja perfectamente en mi rutina diaria porque disfruto mucho pasar tiempo con los animales. Organizo mis días de forma flexible, lo que me permite adaptarme a los horarios de paseo, alimentación, juego o compañía que necesite cada perrito. Para mí, no es una obligación sino un momento especial del día que disfruto y priorizo. Cuando cuido mascotas en mi casa, me aseguro de que tengan un ambiente tranquilo, seguro y cómodo. Tienen su espacio para descansar, jugar y hacer sus necesidades, siempre con supervisión y mucho cariño. Mantengo sus rutinas de alimentación, paseo y juego según lo que indique su familia. Si el cuidado es en la casa del cliente, respeto al máximo las indicaciones que me den. Me ocupo de que el perrito se sienta acompañado, seguro y bien atendido en su entorno habitual. Siempre presto atención a los detalles: horarios, medicación si la necesita, limpieza, y por supuesto, mucho amor y compañía. Mi prioridad es que la mascota esté feliz, contenida y bien cuidada mientras su familia no está.
“Hanna was amazing, she was able to come and hang out with my pup last minute. She was very communicative and made sure to ask about any special things my dog might have needed. While she was at my home she sent just the right amount of updates and pictures. I would love to have her watch my Murray again!”
About: I will build trust with the owners through clear communication and good vibes. I love being with animals and would be happy to take care of whatever needs they have. I start work in a few months so I have plenty of time and want to earn some money to travel! I have plenty of time and love animals so this is the perfect job for me. I always took care of animals in apartments so making sure that doors are locked or that my pets are safe from harming themselves or damaging anything is always my top priority. I will treat clients homes with the utmost respect and will make sure their pets feel comfortable with me.

About: I'll start this by saying I am an animal lover, I'll go as far as to say that I like animals more than I like people. I myself am a dog owner. Unfortunately she is back in my hometown taken care of by my mom and I miss her like crazy. But together with my mom we have raised an amazing 18 year old beagle. I have always made sure that she eats healthy (I am very strict about that), and that she gets plenty of exercise. And of course I have always provided plenty of love and play time. I have several friends who are dog owners and when we hang out I am always looking forward to playing with their pets and taking care of them. I am responsible, honest and punctual and I have a great work ethic If you do trust me with your pet be assured that I will give a 100% to make sure I complete my duties and that your four-legged baby will be happy, loved and safe.

Bay Harbor Islands pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot say enough about Michelle the dog whisperer extraordinaire. I have used Rover for many years and had fair good and great pet sitters, but Michelle is extraordinary. She goes out of the way to make sure my pup had plenty of walks snuggles and TLC. She even worked on his reactivity with other dogs during walks. She stayed in our home with our pup and left it clean and well kept. I will use her over and over again!!!!
I can't recommend anyone more highly. After my original house sitter was injured and had to cancel the day before leaving for my son's wedding... Sophia came right over, met my dogs and took great care of them for the next 5 nights... including daily pictures and videos. Most importantly... my dogs love her. I can't wait to hire her again.
I’m so glad Rajiv was able to care for my two cats! Highly recommend! I was really nervous about leaving them for the first time and Rajiv really put me at ease, he was really communicative and sent me updates every day. My cats seemed to have a really comfortable time with Rajiv around and my place was tidy when I arrived! Highly recommend Rajiv to watch your fur babies
Our puppy, Bentley, loved Romana! Bentley has terrible separation anxiety but she was able to win him over so that he could relax while we were gone. She kept us up-to-date and sent photos. All instructions were faithfully followed, and we would definitely have her back!
Valentina is the best! From the first day the communication was clear and efficient. Valentina offered to arrange a visit a few days before my departure in order to get familiar with the cat. She asked about all his needs and my requests. During my vacation she provided me with an update and sent videos and pictures, so I could feel comfortable since it was my first time being away from my lovely Perseus. I highly recommend Valentina as a reliable and trustworthy person! Perseus loves her and he’s a very spoiled and picky boy 😉 P.S. She left home in great condition. Everything was clean and well organized. Thank you, Valentina! ❤️
Janelle sat for our dog for a second time while we were away and, again, we are so pleased with the care and love she gave our pup. She kept us updated throughout the trip with pics, videos, and messages on how he was doing. She really kept us at ease. We feel so fortunate to have someone provide such great companionship and understanding of our dog’s needs. Thank you, Janelle!
**5 Stars for Andrea!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrea was absolutely wonderful with our kitties! She took amazing care of them while we were away and sent us the sweetest photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and our cats adored her. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾💕
I was out of town for a few days and Hanna was amazing taking care of Bruno. She sent updates and pictures every day which I greatly appreciated. Bruno clearly had a great time with Hanna. When I came back, Bruno was his usual super happy self. Thanks so much Hanna!
Tehila stayed at my place and my two high maintenance cats couldn’t have been happier! As someone that gets very stressed about leaving my two furkids, she put my mind at ease. She also followed all of my instructions perfectly and left my place cleaner than she found it. I will absolutely book her again!! Thank you Tehila!!
Marta was a great communicator who I could tell really loves animals. My pets warmed up to her easily and she always let me know how they were doing and sent plenty of photos. Was not worried about them at all while I was out of town would definitely book again!!
While we were away, Max took excellent care of our dog. He showed great compassion, gentleness, and expertise in looking after our dog. We are truly grateful for his conscientiousness and the utmost respect he showed for our home. Our trip wouldn't have been the same without Max's invaluable help!
