“This is the second time we’ve used Corina. She’s the best dog sitter we’ve ever used. She sends constant updates, is extremely responsive, willing to work around our schedules for pick up and drop off, and treats Tito like her own. Will def be using her in the future and would recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“Natalya took care of my furry baby for 15 days! It was such a relief finding someone like her to be with him while I did a long trip outside of the country. My dog eats fresh and dry food, and she handled that just fine. She adapted his schedule so he could potty according to the walks that she had with her dogs. Her family embraced my dog as if he was one of their own, couldn't be happier!”
“I wish I could give Tony more than 5 stars. This was my first time using Rover and I feel very lucky I found him. Tony was super responsive, communicative, flexible and the most important thing: he took great care of Maui and Pepito. I could tell they were SO happy and they had a blast. Can’t wait to repeat. Forever grateful to him”
“Thank you Christin for taking such great care of Dutch. He had a great time in your care while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in your care. We’re truly grateful !!”
“They took so good care of my 2 babies. Buster is a senior dog and Juno is a puppy and they both enjoyed themselves. The sent pictures and videos showing me how my babies were doing.”
“Aisha was very quick to respond and considerate of the needs of our pets. Aisha provided updates about how well they were doing in her care and asked questions to ensure pets were comfortable. It was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up with her and I would highly recommend her for any over night boarding or petsitting!”
“Shirley was awesome and available to watch my dog on very short notice. I will use her again and would definitely recommend to anyone in the downtown Miami/Midtown/Edgewater area.”
“Erick was amazing. I’m so glad that I discovered him for so many reasons. Location is close to where we live, he resides in a home which gives my wife and I less stress about being secured while outside and not cooped up inside a small space. Erick sent daily updates about our little girl along with photos. He followed all of our daily routines for Paris which is important due to her health high demands. I was pleased that he allowed me to view his home before deciding to select his service. This gave me peace of mind and the ability to see that Erick kept a very clean house - unlike a previous experience I had that left our dog with an infection. I will definitely use Erick over and over when we leave town.”
“Gail was great! We got daily pictures and updates about how our boys were getting along with everyone! We will absolutely use Gail again if we need another doggie Vacay! Thank you so much Gail for looking after our boys, they look rested and happy!”
“Sylwia took amazing care of my 14-year-old dog, Layla, and I could not be more grateful. From day one, she was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly very experienced with senior dogs. She sent daily updates with photos and detailed notes about Layla’s mood, habits, and what she liked each day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. On her own initiative, she even added a soft, comfortable material to the bottom of Layla’s crate to make her more comfortable, which meant a lot to me. It was clear that Layla was treated with genuine care and kindness, not just watched over. All of this came at a very reasonable price. I would absolutely trust Sylvia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
“Per usual, the BEST of the BEST, of the BEST! Cheers for always loving and going above and beyond for my boy. To have no worries and full trust in our doggy day care /home boarder is everything. We love P &R!”
“Fantastic 1st experience using Rover. My sincere thanks to Rafael for taking such great care of my pup. Great communication, very responsive and routine updates were provided. A+ service!”
About: I have two years of experience working at a pet store, caring for dogs daily and learning about their health and behavior. I provide reliable, calm, and structured walks for apartment dogs and busy professionals in Brickell. Safety, consistency, and photo updates are always included. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I focus on dog walking and drop-in visits during weekdays, with flexible availability in the mornings and afternoons to accommodate busy professionals’ schedules. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize safety at all times. I use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs stay hydrated and calm during walks. I also provide regular photo updates for transparency and peace of mind.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Marina. She was truly amazing with my dog and went above and beyond in every way! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her job seriously. While I was away, she kept in constant communication—sending pictures, videos, and detailed updates about how my dog was doing. It made me feel completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. My dog absolutely adored her, and it was obvious she treated him like her own. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, kind, and attentive. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless home. I highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter—she’s truly the best! 🐾❤️”
“I am impressed with the way Rocio took care of my dog. I truly enjoyed the pictures and the questions asked to make sure Ella was taken care of properly. I will definitely use her again.”
“I can’t rave enough! I know I do it all the time but she is truly they best to my Gia! I can’t imagine have anybody else watch her for me! This is the best person to leave your fur baby with!”
El Portal dog parents share their Rover experiences
Yanexis is great with my dogs! She’s super sweet and always sends daily pics and videos with updates. This is my second time booking with her, and I’ve had a great experience both times. She’s also been available on short notice, which I really appreciate. Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Veronica was absolutely incredible. Our dog is older now and requires extra attention (medications, walks, etc) and it’s extra stressful having to leave her behind. Veronica constantly sent us pics and videos and our pup looked super happy and like she was in great hands. We definitely got the peace of mind we were looking for. Location was also super convenient (10 mins away from mia airport). Easy recommend - will definitely use again in the future.
Diana was great! She took care of our 2 small doggies while we were on a 1.5 months long trip. One of the doggies needs daily medication and she took great care of that. She also sent us photos and videos daily and very responsive whenever we pinged her. Will definitely work with her again!
This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with someone caring for my dog! Melissa and her family went above and beyond in every possible way. They were incredibly supportive, attentive, and truly treated my dog like part of their own family. They followed all feeding schedules perfectly, made sure he was comfortable at all hours, and he had an amazing time playing with their dog, they became instant buddies! Melissa also provided daily updates with photos and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind and showed just how happy and well cared for he was. She made sure my dog felt welcomed, loved, and safe from day one. If a 10 star rating were available, I would give it without hesitation that’s how exceptional and attentive she was. If you’re considering leaving your dog with anyone, I truly cannot stress this enough: Melissa is, by miles, the best option you could ever choose.
Oslay cuidó a mis perritas durante 4 días mientras estuve de viaje y no podría estar más satisfecho con su atención y cuidado. Desde el primer momento demostró una gran responsabilidad, cariño y profesionalismo. Me mantuvo informado en todo momento con fotos y actualizaciones, lo que me dio mucha tranquilidad durante mi viaje. Las perritas regresaron felices, bien cuidadas y con una rutina muy similar a la de casa. La comunicación con Oslay fue excelente y fluida, siempre atento y dispuesto a responder cualquier duda. Sin duda, recomiendo a Oslay al 100%. Fue una experiencia maravillosa y definitivamente volveré a solicitar sus servicios. Gracias por todo!
Shua took incredible care of my two dogs. The drop off was super easy, and there is a great yard for them. She also took them to a nearby dog park that they absolutely loved. They were so spoiled. You could tell they had an absolutely amazing time by all of the status photos and videos she sent. Shua went above and beyond taking care of them like her own. Very appreciative, thank you!
