“Alexis is amazing for us. She genuinely cares about our dogs and is prompt in communication. I’m a skeptical person but I gained trust in her upon meeting her. I know our dogs are extremely happy to have her spend so much time with them on her daily walks. It’s a huge help since I work long hours. I’d recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve cared for rescue pets my entire life and grew up with three rescue Jack Russell Terriers, each with their own unique needs and behavioral challenges due to their past homes. From a young age, I learned how to manage high-energy, sensitive dogs in a way that is both loving and structured, always prioritizing the safety of the dogs, the people around them, and other animals. I raised all three dogs from early adulthood (around 1–2 years old) through their senior years, which gave me extensive experience with every life stage - including early mornings, late nights, and the extra care and patience that senior pets require. Beyond my own dogs, I’ve pet-sat for a wide range of breeds, from Rottweilers to Westies. I genuinely love spending time outdoors with dogs and enjoy long walks, letting them explore, smell the roses, and soak up the sunshine. I also make sure they get plenty of playtime with their favorite toys and the cuddles and comfort they need while waiting for their humans to come home. I recently moved to Jensen Beach, Florida, and since my Jacks passed on, I miss my dogs immensely. Caring for other people’s pets allows me to share that love, attention, and responsibility with your fur babies, treating them as if they were my own! I recently relocated to Jensen Beach and am currently pursuing new opportunities in marketing. While I navigate my job search, I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend that time caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or keeping your furry family members company, I’m happy to provide reliable, attentive care when you need an extra hand. My schedule is usually open between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, but I’m happy to be flexible and work around that if your pup needs some extra love earlier or later. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, medications, walk preferences, and any special needs. Having lifelong experience with rescue dogs, I’m very mindful of leash safety, doors, surroundings, other dogs/people around them, and reading body language to keep pets comfortable and secure at all times. I keep environments calm, clean, and low-stress, and I always prioritize safe walks and supervised play. I also believe communication is key. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine care for animals. I had my own pets until I was 17, and I’ve also cared for my family’s pets during week-long trips, which gave me experience with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they stayed comfortable and happy. I’m currently home from college and working remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available at any time during the day as long as I’m given advance notice. For dog walks and drop-ins, I make sure each pet is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. During walks, I focus on keeping dogs active, following any routines the owner prefers, and making sure they stay hydrated and safe. For drop-ins, I can feed pets, refill water, give them playtime, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, clean up after them if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 11. I grew up in Coral Gables, walking our family dog as soon as I was old enough to hold the leash. I’ve since helped family and friends with their own pets as needed. During the pandemic I was a foster mom for kittens that needed round-the -clock care, which eventually led to me adopting my cat, Milo. He came to me as a foster who was terrified of people. He’s six years old now, and though he’s slow to trust others, he seems to love me so I must’ve done something right! I’m available throughout the day as needed. Just send me a message and we can coordinate a time that works best for you and your pet! Having lived in the Gables practically all my life, I know all the best place to take your dog on a walk! I’m also very familiar with Coconut Grove and South Miami. When it comes to cats, I’ve been successfully taking care of my cat, Milo, since I adopted him as a kitten six years ago. I’ll always make sure your dog has had a wonderful, safe walk around the neighborhood. If it’s a drop-in visit for a dog or cat, I’ll make sure to play with them and assure they’re comfortable and have everything they need. I can also administer oral or topical medication for dogs and cats, such as pills or ointments if needed.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am a true animal lover. I grew up with both a large dog and a medium-sized dog, giving me experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped with training, daily care, exercise, feeding, and all the attention that happy, healthy pets need. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, love, and care they require. I treat every pet like my own and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full-time at a local restaurant, but I have a flexible schedule and live an active lifestyle. I love getting outside for walks and exercise, making it easy for me to keep pets active, engaged, and well cared for. I live in a pet-friendly area of Coconut Grove with plenty of green space, walking paths, and parks nearby, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy spending time outdoors. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone reliable caring for a member of your family. In my care, your pets are not just clients; they become cherished family members. Whether in your home or mine, I provide a loving and safe environment where their well-being is my top priority. With my experience and a deep passion for animals, you can trust that your furry companions will receive the utmost care, attention, and affection under my watchful eye.

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!

Karelia took amazing care of my dog and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to new people, but she got him out of his shell almost immediately. He was so comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure he was well taken care of, walked regularly, let outside, cuddled with, and given plenty of attention and companionship. It was clear he felt safe and happy in her care. I highly recommend Karelia to anyone looking for a kind, patient, and reliable dog sitter!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Coconut Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Coconut Grove is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 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 6,211 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Coconut Grove. 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 Coconut Grove. 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 Coconut Grove 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 Coconut Grove. 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.
