“I highly recommend Tiffany She is incredibly sweet, very responsible, and has excellent communication. She is always punctual and does her job with so much care and professionalism. She has taken care of my dog several times (about five), helping with her medication and spending time with her, and every time the service has been outstanding. She gives me great peace of mind, and I will definitely continue using her services. 100% recommended”

About: As a former animal shelter volunteer, I understand more than most that senior pups, rescue pups, and reactive babies require gentle care. Every dog deserves someone who will be patient and understanding with them. Animals with complicated pasts often display signs of anxiety around new people. When your life requires you to take some time apart from them, you want to know they'll be in good hands. As someone who prides herself on communication, I can promise that I will always keep an open line of communication with you while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, mainly on weekends. As I transition to being a full-time student this coming Spring, my availability will vary. For the time being, I am available daily: mornings, afternoons, and nights. Before and after feeding time I make sure that all bowls are scrubbed clean of debris. I fill up water bowls when low, clean litter boxes, and thoroughly clean any accidents on the floor. Since my cats are not fans of my vacuum, I have become skilled in creating hideout forts with blankets, pillows, and even cat tunnels. For anxious pets, this is always a hit!

“Jackie is the first and only dog sitter I’ve ever left my young puppy with, and she is honestly so amazing and has exceeded all my expectations of what a dog sitter would be like. She will form a bond with your pet. My puppy gets excited when he sees her now, and she goes above and beyond to care for him. Jackie will go the extra mile for you and your pet. It’s an enormous relief knowing I have a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter for my puppy. Also, bonus Jackie takes the best pictures!! :))”

About: I’m a loving dog mom to two German Shepherds—a boy and a girl—and I’ve been taking care of them every day for years. My boy is a senior, so I have personal experience caring for an older dog and understanding that every dog has different needs, routines, and personalities. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. I would be happy to help care for your doggies and give them the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pups like family! ❤️🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I take care of my two German Shepherds every day, making sure they get the attention, exercise, affection, and care they need. I would love to make time in my schedule to care for your pups, whether they need a drop-in visit, a walk, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away. I’ll treat your dogs with the same love and care I give my own! As a dog mom to two German Shepherds, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with messages and photos during my visits. My goal is to make sure your pups feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pups of every size and age, from all kinds of breeds, energy, and backgrounds. I have extensive care in senior dog care. I use to only rescue senior dachshund’s from the shelter at one point in my life. Just about all my friends and family rely on me for pet care. My thought process: Dogs lack the opposable thumbs required to feed and walk themselves, which is exactly why I spoil mine so much. Born and raised in Miami, FL, a true local. I work from home, so I am always around to keep an eye on the pups and give them plenty of attention. I finish my workday by 2:00 PM, which gives me wide-open afternoons and evenings for dedicated dog walking/parks and drop-in visits. Because I’m home so much and only host one small guest dog at a time, your pup will easily blend right into our daily routine! Safety is my top priority! I live in a secure apartment building which does have its designated area for the babies. I always keep a close eye during elevator rides, hallway and street walks. Inside my home, your pup will have the company of my two friendly dogs. I only host one guest dog at a time to ensure a calm environment.

About: I speak both English and Spanish! I’m originally from Patagonia, where stray dogs are a common sight. I adopted two dogs of my own and learned how to understand their needs, build trust, and train them with patience and positive reinforcement. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s boarding, house sitting, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, care, and attention I gave my own! 🐶❤️ I’m currently available, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily manage my time around pet care. I’m also a photographer, which means I can work around different schedules—and yes, I’m a pet photographer too! 😉 I have a fenced backyard with a small tree where pets can enjoy some outdoor time safely. I also have a pet net on my door, so they can go inside or outside comfortably while staying safe. I don't use to listen music. I prefer to read or work on my computer so they won't suffer loud noises. I also have a car in case a pickup or drop-off is needed. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in my home or my client’s home.

West Flagler, Miami, FL, 33125

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets since I was five years old which has given me a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all ages sizes and personalities. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do - I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine , personality and needs to ensure they are comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to feeding plans, or just simply spending quality time with them. I want every pet to have a positive stress-free experience. I work full time 4 days out of the week. I have Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. I also wake up very early at 6 am and I always have a lot of time after i finish work at 6 to make sure any booked pets are well taken care of. With animals, it is all about body language. I would make sure they approach me and get to know me first before I reach out and make contact myself. Only after then I can tell if the pet is skid-dish and needs some time and encouragement or if they trust easy I would make sure to acknowledge that and show the love back. Going from there I would be able to handle them like they were my own and make sure they are well taken care of. These animals are souls that cannot express themselves with words and I make sure I can hear them and have them trust me.

“Makayla has been really helpful and understanding with Mili. We had to hire her for mid day visits during the time I had to be away from the country for more than two months. Mili wasn’t coping very well with it as she was being left alone in the house for prolonged hours! Makayla managed her energy and took care of her during her visits and was very understanding and flexible with everything. She once had to deal with the mess caused my mili tearing up a stuffed toy. She picked it all up and let us know that one part of the toy was missing which helped us take action on time and make sure my pup was safe. I really appreciate her being proactive in difficult situations and would definitely trust her and recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m Katherine, With 3 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I treat every pup like my own. I have experience with senior dogs who need a little extra love and care, as well as energetic puppies who thrive on play and structure. I use positive reinforcement for basic training and am comfortable administering medications if needed. Whether your dog is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home with me. i am avaliable monday to friday from 5:30 pm and from friday to sunday 24/7and if i am chosen to take care of you m As a lifelong dog lover, I care for every pup just like I do my own Yorkie, Luna. Each morning we start with a nutritious breakfast—premium kibble with a spoonful of pumpkin—followed by a brisk 20‑minute neighborhood walk so she can sniff, explore, and stretch her legs. Back home, I keep her coat looking its best with a quick brush, and during the day I check in regularly for fresh water, belly rubs, and mental stimulation through puzzle toys. Late afternoons mean living‑room fetch sessions or rooftop playdates, and dinner at 6 PM comes with a bit of shredded chicken for extra flavor. When the day winds down, I tuck her into her cozy spot by my side, making sure she’s warm, happy, and ready for sweet dog‑dreams—because every pet in my care deserves that same routine of love, attention, and reliability.

About: My family always had at least one dog and cat growing up, usually many of both. Now I have a dog of my own that I continue to train, take on daily walks and take care of. He also has allergies so I have a lot of experience with that as well. I have experience taking both large and small dogs on walks, training them, feeding and playing with them. I also have experience with cat care as well and even took classes on both mammalian anatomy and animal behavior. I currently work until 6:30 M-Th, so I will have limited availability on those days. I have completely open weekends, however, and would be available for all types of visits or care then! I can’t board or bring any pets to my home so every visit would depend on how you care for your pet, I’ll follow your lead! If you want, I can bring my dog over for a playdate (he’s super friendly and loves other animals), but that’s completely up to you!

About: I have experience with many different size and age dogs, since I have a big dog family at home. This comes with a lot of training as well. I’m very active, so I love to go on walks and runs with my dogs. I am a student, but my schedule is mostly flexible. I do spend some time at home and the time I’m not home, I’m in class. The weekends are free for me. I live in a pet-loving home, so there is no stress having a guest over! Dogs can be in their cage or if it is more comfortable to be without a cage that is perfectly fine as well. I also have the option of boarding or day care without my dogs.

About: Ive taken care of dogs / cats ever sincei was a child. I always had a love for animals ever since i could remember. I have 1 cat & 1 dog of my own who are very happy loved. My work schedule is very flexible and for most days i work from home so I’ll be there to care and watch the animals whenever i have a pet in my care. I have a backyard that is pretty spacious and I also have an area in the front that has a decent amount of space. The entire property is gated so there is no way for them to escape. They can play outside or inside, whichever the animal prefers in that moment.

Kameron did an absolutely stellar job taking care of my cat Mustard for four days while I was out of town. She kept me updated every single day with thoughtful texts and photos, so I never felt out of the loop. She not only fed Mustard but stayed with her for an hour or two each day, which really gave me peace of mind that she was in good company.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Brownsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brownsville is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 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 November 2026, there are 6,432 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brownsville. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
