About: I grew up in France surrounded by animals including dogs, cats, horses, and even chickens, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was little, I’ve naturally connected with animals and genuinely love being around them. Honestly, everywhere I go, you’ll probably see me petting the animals before even saying hi to the humans first. I’m 27 years old and currently have a 12 year old dog named Lilo and a 4 year old cat named Phoenix, so I understand both senior pet care and the attention pets need to feel safe and loved. I also horseback ride weekly, which means animals are truly part of my everyday life. As a nursing student, I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and attentive to details. I will always care for your pets with kindness, affection, and the same level of attention I would want for my own animals. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the week, but I always make time for animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I already care for my own pets daily and spend a lot of time around animals. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m very reliable with communication, feeding schedules, medications, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, and I will care for them as if they were my own. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, behavior changes, and making sure pets feel calm, safe, and loved.I’m naturally patient, responsible, detail oriented, and comfortable handling different personalities, including senior or anxious pets.
About: I can take care of dogs of all sizes and breeds and know strategies to ease anxiety and behavioral tactics to deal with all types of dogs. I am researched and experienced with foods and treats that are beneficial or dangerous to your dog. I am extremely loving and obsessed with dogs. I am detail oriented, thorough and organized. I work a part time as a teacher on Fridays and Saturdays. I attend the University of Miami. If scheduled ahead of time a can plan an overnight stay in your home to look over your fur babies! Excited to work with you and your dogs! Dog Walking- I know signs of overheating according to dog body language and how to help them if they do overheat. I know how to approach a situation in which other dogs attacks or approaches client’s dog. Dog sitting/play date or potty break- I give all attention to dog and enjoy time with them, observing body language or physical sign of ailment, sickness, or harm.

About: Hi, I’m Rosa! I’m a Miami based animal lover who has grown up around dogs. My experience started with my own mixed Maltese dogs and over the years I’ve learned to read and adapt to each dog’s personality…whether they need a calm presence or a playful companion, I adjust to their needs. My experience has also extended to overnight pet sitting care for dogs. One of my most memorable moments has been being present for the birth of puppies, something that gave me a whole new appreciation for animals are at every stage of life. I offer dog walking and drop in visits for dogs of all sizes, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. Your pup will get attentive, loving care. I’d love to meet your dog! 🐾 I keep a structured but flexible schedule. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekday mornings before work, evenings after 5 pm, and throughout the weekend. I keep my bookings intentional so you’ll always receive a photo update and message during every visit so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own space. I will follow your instructions well, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels secure in their own space.
“Melanie was very patient with our cat and spent time to get her to warm up to her. Very responsive and pro-active on pet care, I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone to care for their pets.”


About: I’ve had dogs in my family since before I was born. I love puppies and senior dogs. I’m an animal enthusiast in general and walking dogs is a dream job! I’m currently working part time(15hrs), so I have plenty of time to walk and care for our furry friends. Typically available 4-7 days of the week. I make sure to walk, feed, play, and let the pet outside accordingly. I typically set alarms or reminders on my phone with a schedule I adhere to.( client given or make one)
“Yumeng is so great with my dogs, she goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. My dogs have alot of energy and make alot of mess, but she handles them very very well, would definitley reccomend her services! :)”

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’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years now. The pets have been dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, mice, snakes and fish. I also foster puppies whenever possible. I’m up for anything! I’m currently a student at the University of Miami, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I love long walks and being outside, especially with dogs. I usually walk dogs about 2-3 times a day. 1 or 2 short 15-20 min walks, and then a longer 45-60 minute walk, if the dog likes walks. Feeding and crating is up to the owner.
“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!”

About: Hello, thank you for taking an interest in boarding your pet with me at a Dog’s Dream Vacation provided by a dog lover. I love dogs and I am a borderline dog whisperer. When your pet stays with me, they are getting a vacation of their own. When you travel or go on vacation, they get to have a getaway of their own. If using the Rover App, scroll through the top picture to see the photo gallery of dogs having fun and enjoying their vacation. If on the desktop website, click on full gallery photos. Rover is definitely better than boarding your pet at a dog hotel, especially if they are anxious pets. It is like Air BnB for your pet. : ) I live on a small peaceful lake with a big, fenced backyard. There is usually a nice breeze. I have a big open space home and a large backyard, plus a pool. Pets can go in the pool. I know golden retrievers and Labradors can’t resist, so please let me know if your dog may attempt to go in and if you prefer that they don’t. The lake is closed off, not connected to other lakes or canals (very safe) but still I do not allow pets in the lake as there is bacteria. We have a very old cat, he is 15 years old and most dogs get along with him, even if they have never been around a cat. I sadly hate to update my profile, and it took me a few months to do so because of grief. We had a cute, playful, friendly Labrador. His name was Chance and he died of a hemangiosarcoma tumor on his liver and spleen. Apparently, labs and retrievers can get this. Unfortunately, nobody knows exactly what causes hemangiosarcoma in dogs. It is one of the most studied canine cancers, but there is no single proven cause. Researchers believe it results from a combination of: genetics, age, or random DNA mutations. The last few pictures were of me and Chance having fun. Our prices are in line with the market rate (and cheaper than a dog hotel) but in my home, your dog is getting a vacation, eventually a playmate once we get another dog. I prefer dogs that are potty trained. I also prefer friendly breeds. Please bring your dog’s bed, food and 2 poop bags per day. Also bring their crate if crate trained (this is in case only if I have more than 2 dogs during busy holiday season AND only if they are used to their home crate). It also helps some dogs feel at home and have their own scent. Be sure they are bathed and clean as they tend to lay on our rugs. I prefer they do not go on furniture but it’s ok if they do (Chance used to lay on the couch all the time). I am available weekends and/or holidays. I can also provide dog walks in Brickell during the weekday. On some occasions I can do a dog visit but it depends on day and location. Please let me know if you need more information or have any questions. I work full time but work from home 2 days out of the week. I keep dogs on a feeding schedule along with back yard play time and potty time. They basically do the same routine and schedule as Chance. I have a fenced in yard and one dog to keep your fur baby happy and in good company. I can crate your dog if needed or if you prefer. Please bring their crate if crate trained and sleep or are used to going in and out of their "home'. Sometimes it helps them having their scent.
About: Whether it’s a neighborhood walk or playing with a squeaky toy, I love the energy of having a furry friend around. Our family dog is getting old and having more animals in my life is just what I need🦴 I work freelance so I make my own hours! Perfect for me to fit in some care, attention, and treats for your pet❤️ (and would be a great mid-day pick-me-up) In your own home, I would be watching them closely: making sure the surrounding area is neat and comfortable for them, setting alarms for walks & meals, and always keeping a toy or two around! (And endless cuddles, of course)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Coral Gables
Nadia was great and was able to schedule a last minute emergency. My dog is fearful and reactive which has been a huge limitation on my day to day, and I’m so thankful she was able to stop by to watch and feed her. Highly recommended to anyone out there (especially those with more normal dogs)

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

Gabriela was everything I look for in a sitter and more! My dog can take some time to warm up to people but Gaby made it so easy for her to be comfortable! I appreciated the thorough visit summaries and photos that were sent, it put me at ease so I had no worried while being away!

We are so grateful for the amazing care Aryssa gave Chimmy while we were away for the week. We especially appreciated the attention she gave to her anxiety and how patient, loving, and attentive she was with her. The regular updates and photos meant so much to us and truly helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Chimmy was in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Aryssa with her again. Thank you for everything!

Melanie was so prompt in communicating and took several pictures during drop ins with our dog. We could tell our doggy was well cared for and beyond this is offered so generously to help with other things. Absolutely would book with Melanie again and recommend her highly.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Coral Gables stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Coral Gables with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
