Caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels is truly my passion!

“We have an older dog who has a specific diet to help control seizure activity as well as recovery medication in the case of a seizure. Kristina did a meet and greet the day before we left which included the instructions for the diet/recovery. She connected with Lucy and was asking all the right questions about her care. She didn’t have experience with a seizure dog. She messaged me later that night that she had researched all of the supplements Lucy takes as well as the seizure recovery medications so that she could be more knowledgeable should anything happen while we were gone. This was above and beyond!! While we traveled she sent detailed updates and photos of Lucy at each of her drop-ins. Would definitely have her back to care for Lucy.”

About: As a dog parent for over 10 years, I’ve had to learn to care for pets in all stages of life! As puppies, as young adults, adults and senior dogs with health issues. I had to learn to care for a blind dog and then had to learn how to care for a blind dog with seizures. 4 years ago we adopted a dog from the shelter, our first foster fail but little did we know she would require more than just love and a home. She required a lot of training and patience but she’s come a long way and we’ve still got a long way to go! I’m available for dog boarding on the weekends, Friday afternoon to Sunday night. Dog sitting everyday after 5:30pm as well as Dog walking anytime after 5:30pm. I have two very happy and friendly dogs at home who will help keep your pup company! Pet safety is first and foremost the number one priority so ensuring our pets are compatible is of the utmost importance. As well as your dog’s health so I do not take on any dogs that are not up to date with their vaccines. My dogs go to day care one day out of the week, mostly Saturdays but sometimes Sundays. They are very energetic but know when play time is over. I have put a lot of time in training my dogs and have a routine because we understand how important routines and boundaries are, now that does not mean we are super strict at home, your pup is like our own and is more than welcome to lay down on the couch with or without us. Our home will be your pets home away from home. I will ensure the safety of all dogs and follow instructions to the T because I know how important it is. I have experience with blind dogs, sick dogs, reactive dogs and high energy dogs. My love for dogs goes far beyond just my own.

About: Hi! I’m Sienna, a dedicated animal lover with over 6 years of experience in small animal emergency medicine. I’ve spent my career caring for pets during their most stressful moments, which has given me strong skills in handling dogs of all temperaments, ages, and medical needs. From energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and care, I’m comfortable providing attentive, compassionate support. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and safety is always my top priority. I’m trained to recognize signs of stress or illness, administer medications when needed, and respond calmly in unexpected situations. Beyond my medical background, I truly enjoy building bonds with every dog I care for—making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a reliable walker, overnight boarding, or extra TLC, you can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced, caring hands. My schedule allows me to be home every evening and fully available all day Wednesday Saturday and Sunday. This means I can provide consistent attention, reliable routines, and plenty of quality time during the hours that matter most. Weekends are completely open for longer stays, extra playtime, walks, and one-on-one care, so your pet is never rushed or left waiting for attention My home is calm, quiet, and set up to be a peaceful environment for pets to feel safe and relaxed. I’m Fear Free Certified, which means I’m trained to recognize stress signals and use gentle, low-stress handling techniques to keep pets comfortable and confident. I focus on creating a positive, soothing experience so your pet can settle in easily, feel at home, and truly enjoy their time here.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Originally from Montreal, Canada, I am new to the Fort Lauderdale area. I possess a profound understanding of dog psychology and behavior, allowing me to recognize each dog's specific needs. My deep love for dogs is at the core of what I do, and I am committed to ensuring your pup feels at home while you are away or at work. I am working towards transforming my lifelong passion into a career. If you have any questions or concerns before booking a service with me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to discuss and address any hesitations. I understand that the decision of whom to entrust with your pup is not easy, so please note that meet and greets are free, and I'd be glad to make time for a proper introduction. I'm all in when it comes to taking care of dogs. I provide full-time dog care services. Depending on the needs of the dogs I'm looking after, I ensure they get their necessary potty breaks, are fed on time, and enjoy plenty of playtime. If I ever need to step away, no worries - my dog-loving wife stays home with them, so your pup is always in good hands. I own an adorable 10-year-old Shih Tzu (Stanley) who enjoys making new friends. I've thoughtfully arranged my living room to accommodate crates of various sizes. Each dog is different so I’m happy to work with you to make sure your dog feels at home. I make sure the pups enjoy outdoor playdates at the dog park.

Quinten was amazing! Super warm, caring, and really detailed with every check-in. I always knew exactly how my cats were doing, which made being away from them so much easier. One of my cats is usually really shy with new people, and even he warmed up to her and liked her, which says a lot! I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely book with her again!

Caitlin is a dependable and trustworthy sitter. I kinda plan my vacations when she can watch my pup😂 I come back from trips and my dog always is happy, like she enjoyed hanging out with her new friend (maybe she needs the occasional break from me LOL). Caitlin has watched my dog a few times over the last year and around when I first got her. My dog has improved a lot but definitely requires a sitter who is understanding and kind like Caitlin. Before Caitlin I had sitters turn me down because they discriminated against her breed, not even giving her a chance. I really appreciate Caitlin treating her like her own dog and being so loving towards her. I can definitely tell Caitlin is playing with her as I asked because Tooty has expected play time right around the time Caitlin was here LOL. Thanks Caitlin!

Ivan was an incredible pet sitter for my shy cat, Daisy. From the start, he understood her gentle nature and took the time to earn her trust. During each visit, he made sure to actively engage her in play, especially with her favorite toys, which really brought her out of her shell. Ivan is caring, patient, and dependable; the kind of person you feel comfortable trusting with your home and your pet. I came back to a happy, relaxed cat, which says everything. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for attentive, high-quality care while they’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dania Beach on Rover is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $34 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,272 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dania Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Dania Beach. On Rover:

  • 91% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
