“Elizabeth is the BEST! My original cat sitter cancelled the booking on the morning of my flight. When I reached out to her very last minute, she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with which was literally lifesaving😭 She and her mom took amazing care of my cat Waddle. They were very responsible and made sure the home was safe and comfortable for Waddle. She left detailed updates after each visit, even when my shy boy didn’t come out. She showed so much care for my cat, which made my entire work trip stress-free Will definitely book with her next time!”
“Super grateful for Eric taking care of our kitten Magic while we were out of town for a week. He kept us up to date each day with pictures and we could tell Magic was happy with the care he was getting. Would definitely recommend Eric to other pawrents.”
“Gabriela took such great care of our kitty, Stella! She was very patient with her because she can be shy at first, and spent time playing with her and making sure she had company while we were away. Would definitely book again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Bella while I was away! She came by for drop-in visits exactly as scheduled and made sure Bella was well taken care of every time. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. It was clear that Bella was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention during each visit. I truly appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Alexis was so great with our pup. She communicated the entire time and was careful with watching Winston while he was outside. I only wish she lived in Tampa year round <3”
“Jaen was a perfect pet sitter for our rabbits. She took wonderful care of them. We received pictures every day, They looked happy, very well cared for. She was punctual, great at responding to any texts and communication we sent. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again anytime we are away.”
“Sofia was a perfect sitter for my two cats Uma and Nya while we were away visiting family during Memorial Day weekend. She was prompt to show up for feedings, playtime and followed directions to the tee! Would not hesitate to ask her to care for them again! The time of her visit, and pictures gave us peace of mind during our time away!!”
“Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Amanda and I was born and raised here in Miami, FL! I work from home doing enterprise software sales. I’ve had dogs in my family since I was as young as 3 years old. I’ve grown up around big dogs like Boxers, American Bulldogs, and Pitbulls and very small dogs like Yorkies, Shih Tzu’s and I currently have a Pomeranian. I have extensive experience and love for dogs that are all shapes and sizes and would love to treat your pet like royalty whenever they may need me for walks and drop ins. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my weekly schedule. Reach out to me and we will find a time that works for us all :) I am trustworthy, reliable, and responsible. I am very active and fit and can handle bigger dogs, dogs that pull, and small dogs alike. I’m happy to go for long walks, short walks, let your dog out in the backyard, play, whatever your dogs activity level and personality requires!
“Katherine obviously loves dogs and Keelie loves her back. Over and above being reliable, she was also kind enough and flexible enough to change our weekly sitting schedule on a moment's notice. Highly recommend.”
About: 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 (10 Paws) Hi! I’m Carolyn. I provide dependable, personalized pet care with the same attention and professionalism I brought to years of customer service in the airline industry. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, companionship during the day, medication assistance, or overnight care, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. My services include: • Dog walking and exercise • Feeding and fresh water • Cat and small pet visits • Medication assistance • Playtime and companionship • Overnight and extended care • Photo and text updates after visits I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including active breeds that require extra exercise and engagement. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to every pet’s routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for pets is one of the highlights of my week. My days are organized around my clients’ needs, whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I love spending time with animals and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and individualized care. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me…it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Safety, trust and environment are always my top priorities. I provide loving, attentive care in your home. I maintain routines, follow all feeding and medication instructions, ensure secure walks and supervised play, and create a calm, comfortable atmosphere so pets feel safe and happy. Crate service is also available when requested.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats all of my life. I have boarded many fur babies at my home, and I help feed and find homes for stray cats. I am also very good with any special needs. I am currently working remotely part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your puppers or kitties. I am very flexible with weekdays, nights and weekends. I have a secure fenced-in yard with a pool to cool off. I have 2 friendly dogs to play with, or we can crate if needed.
“Fabiola is amazing! She literally saved out trip. A sitter, who supposed to help us, didn’t show up. Fabiola responded immediately and was ready to help, even though she had to drive late night to pick up keys and meet the kitties. I really appreciate that. Very reliable and friendly, great communication! Recommend!”
“This is our second time using Ines and we could not be happier! Instantly our shy cat loved her and it’s clear from the pictures she sends that she cares for our cat as much as we do.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats since I was little. I am a certified dog trainer at school, helping puppies at their beginning training stage! I cut my cat’s nails! I’m currently a full-time college student living off-campus. I have class every day but do have time to go back during breaks if needed. I also work on campus. I wake up fairly early and go to bed late. When dog sitting, I make sure the home is clean, confirm the dog(s)/cat(s) are eating, drinking water, and doing their business. If necessary, I know how to crate an animal and am comfortable with older pets as well.
About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!
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 an apartment with no pets of my own and no yard but I have a very flexible schedule where I can take the dog for hourly walks.
About: Have you ever met a girl who had every dog breed, behavior, and product memorized by heart? Well, now you have! Hi! My name is Ariana and at 8 years old, I was that girl! I have been seeking dog walking jobs since I was 5 but my dog obsession started as soon as I laid eyes on the perfect maltese puppy my uncle had. From taking care of my uncle’s dog to begging my neighbor to let me walk their huskies with my babysitter and giving up TV for a year to earn my own dog, a day has not passed where I didn’t reminisce on my love for dogs and all animals. Since I could ride my bike I would trek all across my small town to walk and care for animals all of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Typically, I would care for dogs, but have cared for cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, chickens and more! Being and working on multiple farms from age 6 has taught be to remain calm and keep my head when things don’t go as planned and to get right back up when you fall down and try again. Furthermore, I trained my own Cavapoo, Kiki, into an extremely attentive and smart dog - she goes everywhere off leash and even closes our door on command! I am currently in college and I’m going off of my class schedules alongside the amount of work that I get. I do not have many classes in a single day so working around my schedule should not be extremely difficult. Overall, I am extremely respectful and neat and only access the parts of your house in which I need to go. For dog walking and animal care, I leave every dog, making sure that they have a full bowl of water and that they are in the area designated for them. I make sure to lock and close every door requested and leave everything exactly where I found it. If there is any mess around the bowls or litter boxes I make sure to clean it up and refill everything as needed and/or requested. if there have been any accidents around the house, I make sure to notify every owner and clean up and disinfect the area. If the owners have requested that I give the pet treats or any extra medication I do as requested and make sure to follow up with a check in.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Coral Gables
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.
Nadia is terrific and we will be happy to work with her again. Our dog is very sensitive and timid, but he warmed up to Nadia right away because she is kind, caring, patient, and loves dogs. Nadia sent us helpful updates and photos and is superb at communicating. Thank you!!
Alyssa was terrific and I would absolutely have her watch our dog again. Our dog is very smart and sensitive and takes time to get to know people. Therefore, I was very concerned about having someone do drop ins while I was away, because our dog is not used to that. Alyssa was very attentive and instinctively understood what our dog needed, and made the whole experience comfortable. She is polite, kind, and a pleasure to talk with. Thank you, Alyssa!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Bella while I was away! She came by for drop-in visits exactly as scheduled and made sure Bella was well taken care of every time. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. It was clear that Bella was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention during each visit. I truly appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Andrea was great with our little Bogey! Always checked in and gave me updates and even started helping keep up with his training (sit, paw, down, and ringing the bells to go potty outside). I appreciated Andrea’s help and will definitely use her again! Highly recommend and will definitely use again soon

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 Coral Gables 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .
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.
