“Eric was awesome! Super friendly, Very attentive to my two dogs and their needs and excellent communication throughout! I highly recommend Eric and will request him specifically on my next trip! Thanks Again Eric!”
About: From close friends to family, I have been entrusted to take care of their cherished dogs and cats (even seniors) through these past several years. I wouldn’t trade it for the world! I currently work full-time, but am available on weekends to provide unwavering support and love to your furry pets! I can also provide late night walks, check-ins, etc if needed during the week once I’m off work :-) I live in one of the safest neighborhoods with ample space in the backyard and around my area to give them the most fun walks possible! I can also crate your pet as I have ample space in my apartment. It’s just me, so rest assured they will be given the best care and belly rubs possible.
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.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, helping friends and neighbors with theirs. I know how important it is for a dog to break up their daily routine, stay active, and be well taken care of when their owners are busy. I am fully committed to giving your pet the attention, exercise, and personalized care they deserve, with total reliability I have a very flexible daily routine that allows me to fully adapt to whatever schedule works best for your pet. I have plenty of time to organize dedicated outings or check on them at home exactly when needed, ensuring they never break their usual routine. Safety is my number one priority. When caring for a pet, I make sure to maintain constant supervision and double-check that everything is properly locked and secure when leaving their home. I follow the owner's instructions to the letter to guarantee the dog stays calm, comfortable, and safe at all times.
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!
“Dora-Luz has taken care of our cat Petunia very well when we went abroad for 2 weeks. All the process from start to finish were very smooth. We are very pleased with the service.”
“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.”
“I can’t recommend Katherine enough! She took wonderful care of my one-year-old cat, Koda, while I was away. He was dealing with pink eye in both eyes and needed complicated medication. Katherine not only managed to give him his medicine reliably, but she also went above and beyond: taking him to the vet when he had a bad reaction, communicating closely with the clinic, noticing when he started scratching, and even finding a collar to keep him safe and comfortable. From day one, Koda absolutely adored her which instantly put me at ease (since I am a bit of a nervous pet parent and it was my first time leaving Koda with someone else). He was rolling onto his back, showing his belly, and rubbing against her legs from the moment he met her. That kind of immediate trust says everything honestly. On top of her amazing care for him, I trusted her completely with my home. She house-sat for me as well, and I came back to a clean, lovely space. Katherine is caring, attentive, responsible, and clearly has a special gift with animals. I would 100% hire her again (and honestly plan to every time I am out of town) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter. Like, honestly. I am particular and tough to please as a general rule and she was fabulous.”
“Sarah is wonderful with our kitty and very reliable. She’s easy to deal with and very communicative. She’s kind and gentle with our shy kitty (who loves her!) and also does what is asked. I highly recommend Sarah!!”
“I wish I could give Jane 6 stars!!! When my plans changed abruptly, I reached out in a panic for a very last minute booking for walks and drop in visits over the weekend for my Bernedoodle, Bear. Jane replied within minutes, and we were able to set up visits starting less than 12 hours later. Though she already had several other bookings for the weekend, she was extremely flexible, and worked with me to figure out a schedule that would work for Bear’s meals and walks For each visit, she was extremely prompt, and I felt completely reassured knowing Bear was with her. He clearly loved her and felt very comfortable. Jane is also excellent at communicating, and after each visit, sent photos and updates. We will definitely be booking Jane again in the future”
“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!!”
“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”
About: I’m a caring, reliable animal lover with over 4 years of experience caring for dogs and horses. I provide safe, loving care, enjoy long walks and playtime, and always treat every pet like family. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel comfortable and happy. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive attention, exercise, and love. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for pets. I follow each owner’s instructions, respect their routines, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved.
“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!”
“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 +++++!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coral Gables
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.
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!

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.
