About: "I love animals—I really do! I have had dogs my entire adult life. I am very outgoing and friendly, and the messy parts of pet ownership (dirt, smells, etc.) don't bother me at all. I am also very patient and understanding; being a single mother to two teens since they were young has certainly prepared me for anything! I graduated from UW and spent over 20 years in corporate America, but now I am excited to find a new path working with animals. I am always available by phone or text, and I am happy to highly attentive 'helicopter' hoomans, I'm here to help! I'm currently wide open to care for your pup. I am in a career transition and what better way than to hang out with fluffy cute animals? I live in a very dog friendly building. I have a fence courtyard where Ollie (my dog) hands out and we also have a dog park right outside. I also have a crate in my apt that Ollie laughs when I tell him he needs to go in there.

About: I’ve lived in a dog household my whole life! I’ve had up to 8 dogs at a time with my family at home, then had my own Pomeranian mix that lived with me. I can take care of any type of dog, even the fiercest leash pullers, and am sure your pup and I will have a great time. I also foster dogs and help find them loving homes. I promise you’re dog will be safe and well taken care of. I am completing a masters and on summer break so currently I have all the free time for your dog, every day of the week. I have a fenced yard for quick bathroom breaks and games of fetch, and live in a very walkable neighborhood take your dog on longer daily walks. I also run, and I’m happy to bring high energy dogs with me!

About: I’m calm, patient, and very attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I raised my rescue cat from 3 months old after bringing her home from Dubai, and I’ve also fostered a kitten who needed three different medications six times a day while recovering from several illnesses. That experience taught me to be especially observant, consistent, and comfortable with hands-on care. I’m comfortable with kittens and puppies, as well as older or more sensitive pets. Whether your pet needs lots of cuddles, a long walk, a little extra patience, or medication on a strict schedule, I treat them like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. (Follow paw adventures here, Tiktok: littlepaw_club). Right now, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy building my routine around pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting, and I’m able to give pets plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m naturally a homebody, so I especially enjoy having a furry companion around for walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I like to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules closely, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also very attentive to changes in behavior or appetite and will communicate with you throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and multi-pet households. I’ve worked at a professional boarding facility, where I handled daily care routines, feeding schedules, medications, and dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. What sets me apart is my ability to provide calm, reliable, and personalized in home care. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and animals with special routines or medical needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I always provide daily updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I attend school Monday through Thursday and get out fairly early, which allows me to provide afternoon, evening, and overnight care on weekdays. My schedule is completely open on weekends, so I’m fully available for full day and overnight pet sitting. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s daily check ins, walks, or staying overnight while owners are out of town, I make sure each pet’s routine is followed closely and reliably. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I provide companionship, playtime, exercise, and quiet time based on each pet’s personality and age. I maintain a safe, clean environment by refreshing food and water, cleaning litter boxes, cages, or habitats, and ensuring the home is secure. I also provide daily updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to give pets the same level of attention and care they receive from their owners rights in the comfort of their own home.

About: I have trained my dogs since puppyhood and have taken care of all sized dogs. I have fostered over the years and love helping pets find homes. I am patient, reliable and loving. I am available when needed. I am free weekends and at nights weekdays and am work from home so I can be at home with any of the pets. I walk my dogs for long periods of time since we don't have a yard. I have cameras in my home to monitor everyone. I give the animal their time to be comfortable with me.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine passion for caring for them. I've owned and cared for pets my entire life, and nurturing animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I've become the go-to pet sitter within my immediate community because friends, family, and neighbors trust me to provide attentive, loving care while they're away. My experience extends beyond dogs and cats—I am comfortable caring for rabbits, birds, and other small animals, each with their own unique needs and personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well-cared for. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, exercise, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to giving every animal the attention and affection they deserve. This is my full time job so I am fully dedicating all my time to your all your pets needs. I have open availability reach out at any time to make arrangements! :) I am always vigilant of pets and am able to guide and care for them in an understanding manner. If needed I am able to provide any need your pet may need from frequent walks, wiping paws, refreshing pee pads, brushing teeth, combing fur, frequent feedings, and anything else needed not listed but easily learned.

About: We speak English and Spanish! My family and I have always been a pet family. We have had pets from birds, lizards, dogs, hedgehogs, you name it! We absolutely love nature and are beyond grateful for the gifts given to us. Every animal is unique and precious in its own way. With this, we have long term experience on taking exceptional care of our furry friends and have had multiple experiences with multiple dogs and breeds. We’re a dedicated mom and daughter team providing loving, 24/7 full-time care for your pets. We offer overnight stays, daycare, walks and check- ins. With personalized attention and peace of mind- so you & your furry family member are safe and happy. We also have experience with providing special needs to our pups who require medication! This may include, providing wheel-chair support, eye drops, medication, and or paralyzed dogs. We have had the honor to care for multiple pups who need extra support due to being paralyzed and we will always be here as a supporting hand :)! We would not take back any of it💛🌙 I currently am full time to my fur friends. My goal is to provide each and every pet with full care and love from first hour to last or from first day to last. I have a fenced front and back yard. I have 2 furry friends who will be great company for your furry baby.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was born. My soul dog, Max, was a senior chihuahua who required around-the-clock care. Because of him, I know how to take care of pets in their golden years. I’ve aided in the rescue and rehabilitation of multiple dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. I’m now the mom to a beautiful rescue named Magnolia who has taught me so much about, not just dogs, but myself. She is the opposite of Max (who loved to snuggle and sleep), and now I’m hiking and running with my girlfriend and Maggie nearly every day. I love dogs, I understand their language and needs, and I’d be so happy to take care of yours. (I also have extensive knowledge and care of aquatic animals). I am completely available and down to hang with your pet at a moment’s notice. I’m flexible, friendly, responsible and chill! I love being active but am also down to just hang out with your pet and make sure they’re taken care of. Living in an apartment with two cats and one dog (each having their own quirks; including one cat who cannot have any plastic around because he will eat it), I am aware of surroundings and am not negligent ever when it comes to living beings.

“Great sitter! Giselle recently took care of my diabetic cat. She made sure every morning to inject him his insulin, keep his litter clean, and give him fresh water. She is very professional and responsible. She can be counted on to do a great job. Next time I travel, I will definitely be asking Giselle to take care of my Copycat again! Thank you, Giselle!”

About: Ever since I was little, I've owned and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes. In recent years, I've done plenty of dog sitting and walking for neighbors, family, and friends. I love hanging out with dogs, and I think I make pretty good company. I'm familiar with what it's like to care for a dog with not the best behavior, either. I'm completely comfortable and excited to hang out with any dog. I'm still a student, but have a pretty flexible and open schedule. I'm free after school nearly every day of the week after 3:10 until whatever time I'm needed. On weekends, I have pretty clear schedules all day. I'll usually be free anytime ranging from about 8 AM - 7 PM. I've been around and taking care of dogs for years. I can help feed, walk, play, or any other things to help. I would love to do multiple daily stop-ins to hangout and play with your pup!

About: I've had two dogs for seven years, and I've been hands-on with their care the whole time — walks, feeding, baths, and plenty of trips. There's a large dog park right behind my building where we're regulars, so I'm around dogs of every size and temperament daily, and I've gotten good at reading when a dog wants to play and when it wants space. I'd bring that same steady attention to your dog. Pet care is the center of my week, not an afterthought. I keep my availability wide open on purpose — mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends — because I'd rather work around your schedule than make you work around mine. I live in Coral Gables and stay local during the day, so same-day walks and drop-ins are usually doable. Overnight house sitting I book ahead, and once we've met, I'm happy to hold a recurring weekly slot for you. In your home, I keep everything exactly as you left it — same walk route, same feeding times, same commands and treats. I check the harness and leash before every outing, stay leashed on the street, and watch pavement temperature in summer, since it gets hot enough to burn paws by late morning here. I lock up, reset your alarm, bring in the mail, and leave your place tidy. You get photos and a short update after every visit, so you always know how your dog's day went.

About: For over 20 years, I've had the joy of caring for all kinds of pets, from the smallest pups to the largest and most energetic dogs. While I don't have pets of my own currently, I have plenty of time and affection to give your fur-babies. They'll enjoy a welcoming stay with plenty of space to play in my fully fenced backyard, which features both a grassy and concrete area. Inside, there's a spacious, comfortable environment for them to relax and feel right at home. I am a work-from-home professional, which allows me to be present for your pets throughout the afternoon. I have a large, fenced yard and ample indoor space, so they'll get plenty of attention and exercise while with me. My home is currently pet-free, so your pet will have my full attention during their stay. We have a fenced backyard with both concrete and grassy areas, offering plenty of space for fun. Your fur-baby will have a comfortable and welcoming environment, both indoors and out.

About: Hi! My name is Coco, I have 3 dogs at home (2 rambunctious shiba inu puppies named Neko and Milo and a chill newfoundland named Shanti), and had a black cat named Woecat growing up. I have experience caring for pets such as dogs and cats of various ages, as well as fish and guinea pigs. I have a car and can drive, so I can drive over whenever you need me. I can house-sit in addition to pet-sitting if preferred, as well as walking pets. My schedule is fairly flexible, I work part time and have lots of availability. Let me know if I can be of any help! My schedule is flexible, I am a freelance musician and work other jobs part time, so generally during the week and some weekends are when I am available. For my dogs first thing I do is I walk them to get them super tired, then I let them drink water, eat, and play. They typically take a nap after this, and if they are still full of energy then I take them for another walk!

While we were away in Europe for ten days, Alejandra cared for Poppy, our little puppy who needs extra attention and training, and she was amazing. She followed every instruction carefully, stayed in touch with frequent check-ins pictures and videos, and was always available when we needed her. She was proactive, too, letting us know when food or treats were running low. Having Alejandra looking after Poppy gave us total peace of mind, she was reliable, attentive, and genuinely sweet with poppy.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Coconut Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Coconut Grove is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 5,745 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Coconut Grove. 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.

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 Coconut Grove 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters 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 sitter.
