“Sarymar is an amaazzzzzzing cat sitter! I have two senior cats with complex medical issues she has cared for and has managed their needs with no problems. She is so sweet with them and I can tell from the myriad of photos (as a doting cat mom, I love this!), they really truly deeply like her.”

About: I have been around pets for as long as I can remember. I have two labradors, one 14 year old and one 4 year old, so I have experience with puppy’s and elderly dogs! I have always been in charge of taking the dogs on walks, and I have been covering for my sisters Rover dog walks when needed :) As of now I am unemployed for the summer, so I have a lot of availability! I am going on a couple short trips this summer, and will be going to the University of Miami in August, but other than that I am very available! I lived in a suburb until moving to Boston this month, so I am familiar with both yard and city environments. We used a crate until my dog was about 2, I like to keep them leashed and close to me, and I always keep their waters full!

She’s also very kind and attentive. I felt very comfortable having Taro in her care and would definitely recommend her!”

“ELIZABETH IS THE BEST!!! She is very kind and flexible which was greatly appreciated when my baby suddenly got an upset stomach. Genuinely I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. You can tell Elizabeth LOVES the animals she cares for so you can feel at ease. Leaving my baby with someone was hard but Elizabeth reassured me every step of the way!! She took pictures and always responded when I asked how my pup was doing. Good luck in NYC Elizabeth!! I appreciate all your help!! :)”

About: Do you know the feeling when you’re enjoying your vacation and then suddenly remember your pet is away, and you just want to go home and cuddle them? Well, I can’t bring you back early, but I sure can cuddle your furry friend and send you the cutest photos while you’re away! I have experience with dogs, cats, and bunnies (yes, bunnies too!!) in daily walks, feeding, oral medication, and indoor and outdoor recreation. I prioritize consistency in maintaining the routines your pet is used to while staying flexible to meet your preferences. Whether for a morning walk or afternoon company, I am dedicated to providing the personalized care your pet needs while you're thinking of them! I have open availability during the summer between 6 AM - 10 PM. Beginning in mid-August, I will be starting graduate school, and my availability will shift to early mornings and evenings. I am committed to offering the flexibility needed to accommodate the schedules your pet's schedule. I provide regular feeding, including wet or dry food, and can prepare and cook meals if needed to accommodate your pet’s dietary routine. For physical exercise, I offer walks around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, or trips to a nearby park for extra space and recreation, whatever fits best for your pet. During walks, I closely monitor your pet’s behavior, energy, and bathroom needs to ensure they are getting the activity and care they need. For pets that spend most of their time indoors, I provide intentional companionship whether that means check-ins, playtime, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also treat your home with respect and can help maintain a calm, consistent environment for your pet.

About: Hi there! I'm Alexis. What's my favorite thing about dogs you ask? Well, I find delight in how loving they are, how sweet they are, how they love you unconditionally and are the best cuddle buddies. The best part about being a sitter with RoverGO is getting to meet, take care of, and have fun with so many different dogs and/or cats! I'm offering traveling pet care services through Rover that allow for your pet(s) to keep their daily routine and their environment the same while you are away. I can stop by your home for drop-ins or walks, as well as, stay overnight if your pet(s) need company all throughout the day. My schedule is open and as long as I get your request, and we are a good match, I'm confident I will be your go-to pet sitter! I have had 7 dogs throughout my life including my two current pups. I come from a dog loving family. We have been taking care of dogs since I was just a young child. I will take care of your dog like they are my own. House sitting requires a level of trust and responsibility that I know how to emit. I will leave your home just as it was when you left! Send me a request! I'd be honored to meet you and your beloved pet(s). Forging a genuine relationship with you as your next pet sitter is something I pride myself on! Let's meet in person soon.

About: Ive had dogs since I was 7 years old. I am relatively young and I am super active and friendly and I love dogs! Dogs seem to love me too 🥰🥰 I work part time as an EMT so that leaves me with plenty of time to walk adorable pups. I have two small dogs of my own and with my own active lifestyle I have made it a routine to walk 30 minutes every morning and I bring them along with me ! Most of my day is spent at home or in the gym and I love being active so my extra time would be well spent with pet care. My back yard is fenced so my dogs are always safe to roam freely in my yard. I have flooring and a small section of turf so they never get muddy or bring in bugs. Aside from that when I walk them out in my gated community I always make sure they have a leash and harness.

About: I have had my own dogs for many years, basically have grown up w them. My parents were not always the most active people so it was up to me to take care of them and go on walks I am currently a law student with combined in person and online classes. I’m home alot of the time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup. I am also an active person which is great for long walks and playing. I live in an apartment complex but we have access to many fields and parks and my apartment is pet friendly. I have to be on campus twice a week only for a couple hours at a time. Most of our days are spent from home and it’s rare for me to be out of the house for long periods of time. I love to spend time with your dog cuddled up on the couch or enjoying a nice sunset stroll. I live in a quiet apartment building on the 2nd floor. My apartment complex also has a designated area for pets with lots of grass and room for your dog to sniff and play.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals ever since I was 9 years old, and over the last 6 years, I’ve had the joy of turning that passion into my full-time work! I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, personalities, and needs. I can comfortably host multiple pets at once, but if your pup or kitty needs one-on-one attention, private boarding is also available upon request Pet care is my full-time profession, and I’ve been lovingly caring for other people's pets for over 15 years! Because this is my primary focus, my schedule is completely flexible, reliable, and dedicated to giving your pet the attention and structure they need every single day Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! I live in a house with a secure, fully fenced yard for outdoor playtime. Inside, dogs have full free-roam access to relax, though I also have a large crate available if your pet prefers a crate routine

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 have always been a dog owner and I have experience being a dog foster where I have helped many dogs with their previous trauma, such as anxiety and PTSD that was caused by being on the streets and even being mistreated by their previous owners. I offered them love, care and extra attention. I also have experience house training dogs and even getting them to do the simple “sit”, “stay” commands. Overall, I love animals and I am committed to give them the best care possible. I work remotely so I am available for boarding on weekdays and weekends from AM to PM. Please feel free to reach out to me. I currently live in a house with a yard and have a dog of my own that is extremely dog friendly. I can take them outside to play in the yard as many times as they would like, as I work from home.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for dogs as small as 5 pounds and have even walked dogs nearing 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes! I also have some experience with cats. I genuinely love being around animals and would be happy to give your pets the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I work part-time and attend school online, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to work around different schedules and can usually be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and pet care needs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or preferences you have for your pet, and I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

I’m very glad I was able to connect with Sarymar for cat sitting. My cats loved her and she left my apartment very neat even though I know my cats make a huge mess. She sent me a bunch of photos each day and updates so I didn’t even feel like I missed anything.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Coconut Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Coconut Grove is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 November 2026, there are 5,876 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 Coconut Grove. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters 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 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.
