“Tiffany is an absolute gem when it comes to pet care! My dog was completely obsessed with her. She sent lots of pics and videos to keep me updated on what he was doing, which was so reassuring. I would definitely book with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
About: I live in one of the most beautiful cities in Miami, the Village of Biscayne Park, neighboring Miami Shores and El Portal. I have loved & cared for dogs all my life from many of my own to friends & family pets as well. From puppies to senior care I have owned Great Danes, Sharpeis, Frenchies, Italian Greyhounds, Chihuahuas & many more. I always vibe well with dogs. I have the patience & experience on how to administer all type of medications, exercise, diets & special food. I work from home, which makes me available 24/7 -including holidays- and allows me to do dog boarding and day care. Therefore, you can be assured your pet will get all my love, attention as well as lots of play time. Our pets have access to the whole inside of the house in a very comfortable environment. I also have a fence-secured backyard, where they’re free to roam around with supervision at all times. I normally will let our dogs out in the yard about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I live one block away from our city recreational park for those nice long walks. 🐾🐶🦮🐕🦺.
“Graciela is incredibly caring and sweet. She’s also very flexible on drop-off/pick up times and always send a few photos and videos of the dog during the day. Most importantly, she treats my dog as one of her family!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for 10 years. I love tending to their special and specific needs. Dogs are very special to me and they deserve the world! I am dedicated full-time to taking care of dogs so I have all the time in the world to give unlimited potty breaks, hugs, cuddles, treats and yummy food for the dogs in my care. I have a one bedroom apartment. I make sure I have my eyes and ears on your pets at all times. I make sure all food is locked up for safety and to avoid accidents and I make sure that your pet's bed is in my living room so that they have plenty of room to play with their toys. I always make sure they are well taken care of and provide plenty of fresh drinking water and food for them to eat. I provide daily updates and pictures with all of my bookings so that the owners always know how their pet is doing.
“Anthony took great care of my pal Rowlf while I was in Miami for work. He went above and beyond with trips to the dog park and feeding him his special dinner every night. Rowlf was always excited to see him when I dropped him off. I'll definitely use Anthony again when we're back in Surfside!”

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the love and care that pets require. Being a traveling pet owner myself, I also know how important it is to find a reliable and compassionate pet sitter who can provide the same level of care for your furry friend as you would. I have a lifetime of experience with pets, having grown up surrounded by dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities. At one point, I had 3 dogs and 12 cats living with us in our house, so I'm comfortable with handling multiple pets and maintaining a safe and happy environment for them. I now have 2 cats and a dog and I've volunteered with local rescues and have fostered cats and dogs in need of loving homes. I'm passionate about animals and will ensure that your pet receives the same level of care and attention as my own. My pets are always up for a good play session and would love to meet new furry friends, so I can only accept pet-friendly pets. I know firsthand the stress and anxiety that can come with leaving your pet behind when you travel, and that's why I am committed to making sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as possible. With me, your pet will receive personalized care and attention, ensuring that its specific needs are met. I will provide daily updates on your pet's well-being and will go above and beyond to make sure they are loved and cared for while you're away! As a student, my schedule is flexible and I'm always happy to work with you to find the best time for your pet's needs. I make sure that my pets are never left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. I have a two-bedroom apartment, but one of the rooms is empty. I try to provide each pet with their own designated space within the apartment, where they can relax and feel secure. This could include a comfortable bed or crate for the pet. I make sure to provide plenty of fresh water and food, and make sure to keep their living area clean and tidy.
“Pam and Rodrigo are soooo amazing! My puppy, Leo, went on 4 walks and took 6 pee breaks within 5.5 hours being with them. They sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the stay. Leo looked so content and relaxed. He received great care and love. We definitely will book them again whenever we visit Miami.”

“Jonathan is a caring wonderful person to leave our very loved puppy. Jonathan is warm, safe communicative. We really appreciate the way he took care of our puppy. We would definitely feel comfortable with our puppy Havhav spending time again with Jonathan.”

“I had a very pleasant experience with Tiago. I took my two dogs with him for the first time and I was a bit worried. One of my dogs is a stray that is quite wary of the unknown, especially men. Tiago came out while i was unloading the dogs and had an opportunity to interact with them in a more neutral environment. Chato, was tense at the beginning but ended up adjusting just fine. Tiago handled my dogs with confidence and it gilave me peace of mind to know that a professional dog trainer is watching over them. Will use them again in the future.”

“Corina is great! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her for the first time. She constantly kept me updated and sent many pictures. Will definitely be using Corina regularly.”

“I left my dog, Florinda, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She’s usually a bit grumpy around other dogs, but she surprisingly made friends with Fera, who is incredibly friendly. It was wonderful to see how comfortable and well-cared for she was. Tarik and Isabela were amazing! You can truly see their love and dedication to the animals. Florinda came back home super happy, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! 🐶💙”

About: Former St. Bernard owner here that loves all dogs big and small. I wfh and have pet sat dogs all over the world. When you book me you can feel at ease knowing your dog is properly cared for. Before confirming booking I like to do meet and greets. This is to ensure both your 4 legged friend and I get along. Also I am allergic to cats so I can only accept bookings from folks without cats. I’m currently working from home so I have the perfect schedule to dog sit all day or take your dog for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. I will follow any instructions left by you on how to properly care for your dog. I want this to be a pleasant and seamless experience for both you and your dog.
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember — growing up, we had as many as 10 pets in the house at once! Loving and looking after animals has always come naturally to me, and over the years, that lifelong connection has turned into a real passion for helping others care for their furry family members. What makes in-home boarding so special is the peace of mind it brings — knowing your dog or cat is never alone. Someone is always home to provide companionship, supervision, and plenty of love throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just quiet time, every pet in our care is treated like part of the family. I live with my sisters in a cozy, pet-friendly 2-bedroom home at 1216 NE 112th Street, complete with a secure backyard that's ideal for safe outdoor play. Inside, pets enjoy full access to the home and have a private room for eating and resting — because just like people, they need their own space to unwind. Our goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where your pet feels completely at ease. Whether you're headed to work or away on vacation, you can rest easy knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and cared for like one of our own. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide constant care and attention to our furry guests. With both the time and space to accommodate new pets, I'm able to create a calm, supervised environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the day. I have a spacious, secure backyard that includes a fun doggie pool for play and cooling off. I'm also planning to add more play areas and enrichment activities to make the space even more enjoyable for our new furry guests.
“William and Jojo are the best! They really take good care of my puppy like their own making sure he goes on walks and adventures with them. He is super flexible and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Romeo their dog is the sweetest and best big brother to my pup.”

About: Pet boarding & house sitting services offered. I really enjoy cats of all types, from cuddly to shy. I am very responsible when it comes to dogs, I will walk dogs based on their walk schedules. As of right now, I stay home most of the day while I seek full-time employment. I currently live with my mother, so having her around is an extra set of eyes on your pet. Neither of us are allergic to any animals. My daily routine is very flexible as of right now, I am just looking for a full-time job. I can walk dogs based on their schedules & have all the time in the world for a cat companion. I live in an apartment with a balcony & will not allow your pet on the balcony unless it is okay with you (the owner). Pets are family. Pet care fits perfectly throughout my daily & weekly routine. My schedule is very flexible while I search for full-time employment (I am searching for something that is related to sustainability). I mostly allow pets to roam around as they please, unless the owner requests a different style of caretaking. I stick to their schedules, ensuring that the temporary transition into my home is as enjoyable & stress-free as possible (most of my bookings happen to be boarding in my home, rather than in the owner's). I am always available to house-sit & watch your pet from the comfort of their own home, if that is a better fit for your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I also studied Canistherapy and as a first person ever I did a research to find out how the number of patients, frequency of visits in the hospital, length of therapeutical sessions, type of activities or how different wards influenced the dog. I work from home and can take care of your dog all day long. I work from home so your dog is never left alone. I can provide breaks in the backyard and walks around our dog friendly neighborhood. I always take care only of 1 dog at the time. I have a big fenced yard with one friendly dog. Our dog friendly neighborhood is like made for nice walks which I am pretty sure your baby will enjoy with us.
El Portal dog parents share their Rover experiences
Paulina took amazing care of my dog, Leo. She was incredibly attentive and made sure he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. Her dog, Rocky, got along really well with Leo, which made the experience even better. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sending photos and videos regularly, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that Leo was in great hands. I’m very happy with the service and would absolutely trust Paulina again in the future. Highly recommended!

Charuwan took the absolute BEST care of my Dubu. From the moment we arrived, Dubu instantly felt comfortable and walked right into her house like she’d been there before. Charuwan has such warm, calm, and loving energy — and I truly believe Dubu felt that too. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos of all their little adventures, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares. When we came to pick Dubu up, she didn’t even want to leave! That alone says everything. We were also a little late picking her up, and Charuwan was incredibly kind and understanding about it. I’m so grateful we found her and will absolutely be booking again 🤍🐶

We are so thankful we found Isabela and Tarik! They are so warm and welcoming and I immediately felt so comfortable with them. Their dog Fera is so sweet and well behaved and our dog LOVES to play with him. They send video and photos updates throughout the day and it makes me so happy knowing our sweet boy is having the best time! They are truly amazing!!

Maggie is amazing! She took very good care of my Tequila. Very sweet, very understanding, very flexible with the busy schedule that I have. She definitely loves animals and knows how to take care of them. My Tequila had a blast spending the day at Maggie’s house with her family and her golden doodles very sweet and gentle dogs. I will definitely recommend and I will also book her again!

Amazing, really attentive and sent pictures without having to ask. Lulo was tired and happy- Daylenis was communicative, punctual and was super happy to receive lulo, something (I’m sure) as a parent to our pups, are happy to see. Thank you so much, you’ll be hearing from us again
