“She was amazing!! It took my cat a little time to warm up to her, but once she did it was all cuddles and scratches. She was so kind and always prompt, and her communication was so polite and easy. Anything I asked for, she took care of right away. She made sure my cat felt comfortable and spoiled her with a whole bunch of snacks. I'll definitely be booking with her every time I'm out of town, as long as she's available!”

About: I’m a responsible and caring pet owner with 5 years of hands-on experience. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and caring for small and medium dogs. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and provide photos and updates during every visit. I’m available for drop-in visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, typically between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM. I’m also available on Saturdays after 5:00 PM. I enjoy providing calm, attentive care while keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I care for pets in their own home and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are provided as requested, litter boxes are kept clean, and pets receive attention and companionship based on their personality. I also send photos and updates during each visit so owners know their pets are safe

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for animals. Throughout my pet-sitting journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring not only for furry four-legged friends, but also barn animals, reptiles, rodents, and aquatic pets. I am a reliable, communicative, loving, and attentive sitter who provides not just the experience your pet needs, but also the love, care, and peace of mind every pet parent deserves. Pet sitting is my full-time profession, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and flexible scheduling. I intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept to ensure each pet receives my full attention, so early reservations are recommended. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. I maintain a clean, secure environment and closely monitor behavior to ensure comfort and well-being. I provide regular updates with photos and detailed communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Mari! Animals have been part of my family my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve had three Dalmatians, a Dachshund–Chihuahua mix, and a Pomeranian, so I know how different every dog’s personality can be! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Eve, my sweet Dalmatian. 🤎 I have volunteer experience with the Humane Society of Greater Miami and have rescued both cats and dogs. I’ve also boarded dogs in my home and provided house sitting in their own homes. These experiences have taught me to be patient, pay attention to each pet’s needs, and give them time to feel comfortable with me. Now, I’m building my own pet sitting business, Mari and Eve Pet Care, around something I truly love. Whether your pet enjoys playing, going on walks, or simply having someone nearby, I want them to feel loved and cared for while you’re away. As a pet parent myself, I know how much it means to find someone you feel comfortable trusting with your baby! 💕 During their stay or visit: I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, favorite activities, and little quirks. Care can include walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and quiet time, depending on their needs and the service booked. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can see how your baby is doing! 📸🐾 For house sitting, I’ll follow your care instructions and respect your home while keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar surroundings. What I’d love to know about your pet: Tell me a little about your baby! What do they love, what makes them nervous, and what helps them feel comfortable? Please share their feeding and potty schedule, sleeping habits, allergies, medical needs, and any behaviors I should know about. For care in my home, I’d also like to know how they feel around other dogs, since I have Eve. Let me know if this is their first time staying with a sitter so we can talk through what would help them settle in. For boarding, please bring their usual food and any familiar items, like a favorite toy, bed, or blanket. I’d love to arrange a meet and greet so we can get to know each other before their stay! 💕 Open availability Mon-Sun. I will walk, feed, play and bathe your pet as needed. And love them and take care of them like I do with my dog, Eve. ☺️ I will make sure with the owners to meet their pets’ dietary needs and buy them the necessary food to meet those needs. If they are a dog, I will walk them according to their walking needs. I will also have new toys for them to play with. If they are a cat, I will have carpet pieces for them to climb and toys as well. If the pet needs a bath or to be taken to a vet/training/playdate appointment I can do that as well. ☺️

“Sharon was a god send! She took such good care of my kitties while I was away. Her maturity and professionalism was easy to sense during our meet and greet, and I felt completely confident leaving my babies in her care. All instructions were followed carefully, and she took initiative to go above and beyond. Highly recommend!”

About: I have over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for my family pets and my own dogs, so animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. In addition to caring for my own pets, I also have more than 15 years of experience fostering and helping re-home dogs and cats. Through fostering, I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality, history, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets who may be shy, nervous, energetic, or still adjusting to new people and environments. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat that responsibility with the care and respect it deserves. My schedule is currently open for dog walks and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. I am also available for boarding and will do my best to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. During walks and drop-ins, you can expect dependable care, clear communication, and updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, and companionship depending on your pet’s needs. For boarding, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and any special instructions before their stay. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Guest pets have access to a private, air-conditioned room where they can lounge, relax, and sleep comfortably. The room has a cozy pullout couch, plenty of natural light, and a private entrance, creating a calm and comfortable space for pets to feel at ease. I also have a private fenced patio that is separate from my backyard, as well as a larger backyard area that guest pets can enjoy with supervision. This gives pets space to stretch, explore, and get fresh air in a safe environment. I can also crate your dog if needed or preferred, and I will always follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, routines, sleeping arrangements, medication, walks, and any safety precautions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.

I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure every pet gets the care and attention they’re used to while their owners are away. I’m currently a master’s student at the University of Miami, which gives me flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends.

About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve basically been around animals my whole life; dogs, cats, and a mix of everything else that comes with that! I’m really comfortable with all temperaments, breeds, and ages, whether it’s a high-energy dog that needs structure or a senior pet that needs a slower, more patient approach. I’ve trained dogs before and I understand how they communicate through behavior and body language, which helps me read situations quickly and keep things calm and safe. I’m the type of person who doesn’t get overwhelmed easily with animals, and feel really comfortable with them! I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, and application of knowledge of the breed. I’m usually available early mornings, in the day depending on my work schedule, evenings, and weekends. I’m pretty structured with my time, so when I commit to a pet, I will plan around them and make sure they’re not rushed or squeezed in. I’m used to balancing a busy schedule, and I always make pet care something I’m fully present for when I’m there! I’m big on safety and just being aware of what’s going on with the animal at all times. I follow instructions exactly, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to behavior changes, appetite, energy, and stress signals. I’m confident handling leashes, reactivity, and different personalities because I’ve been around animals long enough to stay calm in those situations. I also communicate clearly with updates and pictures so you’re never guessing how your pet is doing- you’ll know they’re safe, good, and taken care of.

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was six. After his passing I knew I wanted to help more dogs out so I started volunteering at my local animal shelter. I enjoy letting them have time outside of their kennel. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have time to care for your dogs! I’m usually free towards the afternoon and on the weekends! With my experience at volunteering at an animal shelter I’ve had the opportunity to work with both cats and dogs! Most shelter dogs are extremely excited to get out of their kennel which has allowed me to calm them down that way I ensure they are let safely out.

About: I grew up with animals always in my life. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits. My family pets have ranged from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats, so I believe I am capable of caring for any aged animal. I have also fostered kittens before who needed to be given medicine twice a day. I have 5 years of dog sitting experience. I have a cat of my own now that I adopted from one of my foster experiences. I am a new nurse located in the Miami area. I keep my schedule up to date to avoid conflicts with my 3 nurse shifts a week. Days I have availability should be open to caring for your furry friend! I am a loving caregiver and like spending quality time with pets from playing, walking, and snuggling. I am very detailed oriented so will pay close attention to any instructions I am given.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for dogs as small as 5 pounds and have even walked dogs nearing 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes! I also have some experience with cats. I genuinely love being around animals and would be happy to give your pets the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I work part-time and attend school online, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to work around different schedules and can usually be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and pet care needs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or preferences you have for your pet, and I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of the Veterinary Science Magnet Program at Felix Varela, where I earned my CVA certification and studied veterinary science and animal care. I also spent around three years training dogs through the program. During my senior year, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, where I got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I fostered throughout high school and for a while after, which gave me experience caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, leash safety, doors and gates, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

Maria is truly a blessing. Leaving your cat behind is never easy, but with her, you feel complete peace of mind. She is incredibly trustworthy and responsible. She didn’t just “check in” - she cared for our cat with so much attention and kept us updated, made sure everything was clean and comfortable, and treated our baby like her own. When we came home, our cat was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for which says everything. We are so grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. I would trust Maria again in a heartbeat.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Glenvar Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 659 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Glenvar Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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.

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.
