“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.”
“Sarah was very dedicated and professional. She took good care of my cats during my absence. She was cleaning their litters, giving them treats and changing their water and providing a fresh dry food on daily basis. I strongly recommend that you use Sarah's service.”
“Dora-Luz is a pro. She took such good care of my cats while I was on vacation. Because of Dora-Luz, I was able to have a relaxing vacation without worrying at all. She took care of everything. Food, water, litter boxes, and everything. And she took the time to do it well, and sent great photos to me each time she stopped by!”
About: Always walking and never ever going to let your pet feel like they will give up. Above and beyond worker. Willing to always help. Focused I am available in the early mornings most days. Also, I am available some weekends depending on the weekend. I need to be notified before scheduling appointments. When I first meet a pet. I always make sure to let the pet get comfortable with me. I slowly get used to the pet.
“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!”
“Jane was amazing!! So kind and sweet with our puppy :). I would highly recommend booking her to watch your dogs- she kept in contact with us throughout the couple night see had her come! She’s a gem!! Wish we could take her back to San Diego. Erin”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, growing up with a sweet Labrador who was my best friend for years. This taught me how to care for pets at every stage of their lives with patience and heart. While I haven't owned a cat myself, I’m the go-to sitter for my cat-owner friends! I’ve done plenty of drop-in visits for them while they were traveling, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, litter box duties, and—most importantly—respecting a cat’s unique personality and space. I’m also experienced with pets that need extra TLC. I’ve helped a friend care for their high-maintenance dog, so I’m comfortable administering medication and providing calm companionship for pets that get a bit anxious. Whether your fur baby is a playful pup or a shy kitty, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and pampered! 🐾✨ Every drop-in visit starts with a warm greeting to make your pet feel comfortable and loved. I’ll ensure they have a fresh bowl of water and their meal served exactly as you’ve instructed. For dogs, this includes a quick potty break or some fun yard time, while for kitties, I’ll make sure the litter box is sparkling clean. Most importantly, I dedicate plenty of time to play, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, ending each visit with a cute "pupdate" and photo so you can see your happy best friend! 😊 Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Having cared for pets with high-maintenance needs and medication routines, I am extremely detail-oriented and will follow your home’s security and care instructions to the letter. I treat every home with total respect, ensuring everything is tidy and all doors are securely locked before I leave. You can trust that your furry family member is in reliable, loving hands and that their environment will stay safe and stress-free while you’re away. ✨
“Drew was amazing with Duke. Super patient and attentive. He was a life saver coming in to drop-in on Duke. He fed him, walked him, played with him. Would have him care for Duke again!”
“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 +++++!!”
“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!”
“Gabriela was very meticulous with caring for my feline BELLA who was very happy to see her and was very relaxed when I returned from my trip. Gabriela was very good at following instructions yes, I would hire her again. She would be a great addition for anyone who needs someone to care for their pet.”
About: What sets me apart is my reliable, attentive, and consistent care for pets. I focus on following each pet’s routine closely and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and understood while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. Whether it’s boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every pet with care and respect as if they were my own. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners can stay informed and feel reassured at all times. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and evening care. I always make sure pets follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, and any special instructions from their owner. My goal is to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship while you are away. I provide care from my clean, smoke-free, and pet-friendly apartment in Coconut Grove. Pets are always supervised and cared for in a calm environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions carefully to make sure each pet stays comfortable and secure during their stay. I also take dogs for walks in nearby parks such as Kennedy Park and Peacock Park when appropriate and with owner approval.

We enjoy staying active and can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship based on your pet’s needs. We’ll always communicate clearly and ensure your pet receives attentive, dependable care.

About: Raising my very own senior lady, a mid-size terrier-mix, for the last decade and counting - experienced with dogs that have separation anxiety and need a little more comfort than the rest I’m currently working full-time but located locally in the gables, so I’ll have plenty of time in the late afternoons and evenings after 6pm for walks and pups! Weekends are usually open for the mornings and afternoons, as well. I can cater to your fur baby’s daily routine, maintaining their preferred feeling schedules and walks, keeping their day structured so they don’t ever feel off and can rest knowing all is well (even with mom and dad away)!
“Sean and Ruth took pictures to send us while we were away and we’re very neat and clean in feeding and cleaning up after 2 guinea pigs. We will be using them again for an upcoming trip later this month”
“This is the second time Alejandra take care of my 3 cats and I am very happy with her service. She is very responsible and attentive with the cats. Communication with her is also fast and clear. I will definitely hire her again for this service when needed. Thank you Alejandra!”

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.
Valerie took excellent care of our dynamic duo. She watched both our cats for a week and she followed instructions to a tee. She also sent lots of pics daily so we felt assured they were being taken care of. She’s a great communicator and would definitely book with her again. And lastly, our cats trusted her almost immediately!
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!
I couldn't be happier regarding my experience with Rebeca watching my cats. She sent daily photos and videos for twelve days of my cats purring and getting lots of scratches & treats and love. If you are considering hiring Rebeca you should absolutely do it with confidence. I would whole-heartedly recommend her and will definitely use her again the next time I leave town. She has reliable transportation, always responds within minutes to any texts, and my cats ADORED her. Thanks again Rebeca!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Coral Gables on Rover is $25.9 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,007 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Coral Gables. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Coral Gables. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
