“Jennifer is amazing! She’s super kind to Pretzel, very professional, punctual, friendly and communicative. Pretzel starts off a little shy and she was patient with him. She goes above and beyond for your fur baby.”
“Sarymar was so amazing! My cat took to her immediately and she was very generous with her time and attention to him. She helped with all of our needs and went above and beyond. Don’t hesitate to book her services for your pet. Five stars +++++!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including Dobermans, Mini Aussies, and Maltese. I’ve trained puppies, supported seniors, and handled feeding, bathing, walking, playtime, and daily routines with confidence and love. I also have experience working in doggy daycare and grooming environments, where I safely managed dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs while ensuring they received attentive, compassionate care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my day around the dogs I care for. Walks, check-ins, and feeding visits are scheduled consistently, allowing me to give each dog focused time and attention without rushing. Safety is always my first priority. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, use secure leashes and harnesses, and pay attention to a dog’s comfort level during walks or check-ins. In your home, I maintain a calm, clean environment and make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and cared for at all times.
“We heavily rely on Sam’s support afforded to Athena, which has ranged from walks to/from dog care and house siting in our place. Sam is a pleasant detail oriented, exceptional communicator that our dog enjoys hanging out.”
“Dora-Luz was amazing! She dropped in for 3 days and cared for our super-shy elderly cat, our friendly stray, and our yard squirrels and birds. Daily pictures were a great comfort. She brought an unexpected delivery into the house. And even got our elderly shy girl to come out for a close up! Dora-Luz has a kind touch, and I highly recommend her care for your furries!”
“Met Tyler earlier in the week to go over everything. He was super attentive and Echo was super excited. The day of he came on time and followed directions. He did a great job! Stayed for a good amount of time too!”
“Julieta is wonderful and super communicative. She took care of my older dog just as if she was her own. I look forward to a long relationship together as I plan to continue booking! I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: Hi there! I am a student at the University of Miami studying health sciences and health administration. I have been a technician at an animal hospital for five years. I have also been volunteering with animals for over eight years. I can administer medication’s, and make sure that the pet is safe and comfortable whenever they are with me. Working in the hospital, has provided me with experience with both young and senior pets as well as pets with all temperaments. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies soon! Pet care is extremely important to me. As a pet owner and animal lover myself I make sure that they are taken care of first that is how I start my days. I like to check on them throughout the day, making sure then have everything they need to be comfortable and have time to go outside. I adjust my schedule to your needs so whenever you need me to do a drop in or a walk, please let me know and any accommodations during pet sitting and I will use my knowledge to best assist. Also, I do have a car so I don’t mind driving them where needed if requested. Since I have been employed at the animal hospital, I have been entrusted with responsibilities of making sure that my patients are always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have the knowledge to acknowledge signs of any uncomfort for many different breeds of animals. I think my biggest job is making sure that I can read the pet to the best of my abilities so I can best fit their needs, ensuring that they are always comfortable and happy. I am in constant communication with the owners at all time making sure that if I notice anything they know right away, I always wanna make sure there’s full transparency between me and my clients. My number one priority is making sure that you know what is going on with your pet and making sure they are as happy, healthy and comfortable as they can be
“Absolutely wonderful sitter. She took great care of our cat, kept us updated, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and a clean space. Would happily book again!”
“Ada did an amazing job taking care of our cat Link! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous, but she offered to meet us beforehand for a meet and greet with Link and we could immediately tell she was very dependable and caring. She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates at each visit which made us feel at ease while we were away. She even noticed that his food was running low and let us know so we could have more ordered, and she came back the next day (even though it was not officially on the scheduled request) to make sure his food bowl got filled in time. Truly a life saver and definitely recommend!”
“Katherine did a wonderful job looking after my dog, Perla!! She followed all of the instructions and followed up with cute pictures and observations from her visits. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Sarah has been absolutely amazing with my cats! From the very beginning, communication has been clear, prompt and reassuring. She has gone above and beyond to make sure each of my cats receive the care and attention they need, and her updates always give me peace of mind while I am away. Her positive attitude and genuine love for animals really shine through. I can’t recommend her enough and will continue booking with her!”
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.
“Jane did so good with my little 4 month old puppy! Was right on time, sent me plenty of photos and videos of my babe. He was nicely tired from his walk and she did great with him!! Will be booking Jane again for sure!!”
About: I have had experience caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve taken care of Senior dogs up to 17 years old and puppies starting at one year-old. I love love love dogs, playing with them and spending time with them. My daily routine is highly flexible and I can make time to care for your pet! Just let me know when and where and we will make it work! I’m professional and hold myself to a high standard, will adjust to your preferences regarding care for your dog (you know them best), and will make sure they have fun too!
“Shawn and his kids provided amazing care for our dog Rosie while we were out of town. We would definitely definitely trust them to take care of Rosie again. Great communication and you could tell they love animals.”

Pia was amazing with Phoenix! She went above and beyond to make sure she was well taken care of while we were away on vacation. She’s very trustworthy, reliable, and always kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book with her again! Thank you pia 😘
Alejandra was amazing! She agreed to watch my cat with just a day notice when I had to leave town on short notice and did such a wonderful job caring for him. She was always on time for check ins and took the time to play with him and sent lots of adorable photos 🥰 Would highly recommend Alejandra as a cat sitter!!
We had a great experience with Valerie, who took care of our cat for two weeks while we were away. She was very reliable, followed all the care instructions, and sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and everything was clean and organized. We would definitely recommend Valerie and would be happy to book her again!❤️
Jennifer did a fantastic job of caring for my cat while I was out of town. She checked in with me during every visit and sent plenty of photos and videos. She did a great job of cleaning up after my cat and went above and beyond to even vacuum up all the litter she tracked around the house. Thank you, Jennifer!
Sarymar was absolutely incredible with her sweet boy Captain. We have a mixed pit who is 12 years old and he is sometimes particular on who he likes. Sarymar made sure to update us with so many pictures during her stay and we couldn’t believe that Captain was already snuggled up with her after the first visit. Highly recommend!
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!
She took such great care of my kitty while I was away on vacation! She was incredibly kind, reliable, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!
Kim and Seth went above and beyond when taking care of my Cat Ramesses. Ram is very shy with new people, but he immediately opened up with them. They were extremely communicative and sent lots of photos of my baby. The place was very clean when I returned and Ram was in good spirits. I will definitely use them in the future. They exceeded all of my expectations.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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.

- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. 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.
