About: We are Carlos and Liliana, a married couple with a lifelong connection to pets. We both grew up on family farms, surrounded by dogs, cats, horses and other animals, so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. Our beloved dog, Chispita, was part of our family for 14 years, giving us experience caring for a dog throughout the different stages of her life. We have also regularly cared for our children’s cats in New York and New Orleans, including administering daily medication when needed. More recently, through house and pet sitting, we have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and routines, including a household with two Huskies and four cats for three weeks. We understand that every pet is different and take the time to follow their established feeding, walking, medication and companionship routines carefully. We are both architects and university professors, responsible, organized and attentive to detail. When caring for pets in their own home, we also treat the home with the same care and respect we give our own. We are currently in a flexible stage of our professional lives, which gives us plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in our care. Since we are a couple, we can coordinate our schedules so pets receive plenty of companionship and are rarely left alone for long periods. We carefully follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in their own home, our priority is to maintain the environment and routine they already know. We carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors, gates, and any special needs. We are attentive to changes in behavior and keep owners informed while they are away. As experienced HomeExchange, Airbnb, and TrustedHousesitters users, we are also very respectful of our clients’ homes, privacy, and belongings.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and started dog sitting when I was about 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of many different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, including caring for as many as seven dogs at the same time. I’m also very comfortable in multi-pet households. At one point, my own family included three dogs and three cats, so managing different personalities, routines, feeding schedules, and care needs comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, habits, boundaries, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and comfortable following detailed feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. Most importantly, I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs.

“Celia is definitely someone I would recommend. She was very good at communicating and attentive to my kitties needs. There was even a little accident that the cats did while I was away and she made sure to have it all cleaned up and taken care of before I got home. Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve had two dogs of my own and have cared for five additional dogs through fostering, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and routines. That experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for someone else’s dog. I work full-time at a children’s hospital, where being dependable, attentive, and responsible is a big part of what I do every day. I bring that same approach to dog sitting. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your dog, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you’re back. I work full-time at a children’s hospital, but I have availability in the evenings, on weekends, and around my work schedule for dog sitting and drop-in care. I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine and make sure they get the walks, attention, playtime, and care they’re used to while you’re away. I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own. Having owned two dogs and cared for five foster dogs, I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely, keep dogs secure on walks and around doors or gates, and make sure feeding, medications, and routines are handled correctly. I’ll also keep your home clean and respectful and send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: Hi there! I am a student at the University of Miami studying health sciences and health administration. I have been a technician at an animal hospital for five years. I have also been volunteering with animals for over eight years. I can administer medication’s, and make sure that the pet is safe and comfortable whenever they are with me. Working in the hospital, has provided me with experience with both young and senior pets as well as pets with all temperaments. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies soon! Pet care is extremely important to me. As a pet owner and animal lover myself I make sure that they are taken care of first that is how I start my days. I like to check on them throughout the day, making sure then have everything they need to be comfortable and have time to go outside. I adjust my schedule to your needs so whenever you need me to do a drop in or a walk, please let me know and any accommodations during pet sitting and I will use my knowledge to best assist. Also, I do have a car so I don’t mind driving them where needed if requested. Since I have been employed at the animal hospital, I have been entrusted with responsibilities of making sure that my patients are always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have the knowledge to acknowledge signs of any uncomfort for many different breeds of animals. I think my biggest job is making sure that I can read the pet to the best of my abilities so I can best fit their needs, ensuring that they are always comfortable and happy. I am in constant communication with the owners at all time making sure that if I notice anything they know right away, I always wanna make sure there’s full transparency between me and my clients. My number one priority is making sure that you know what is going on with your pet and making sure they are as happy, healthy and comfortable as they can be

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a child and have experience with all kinds of animals—birds, turtles, chicks, hamsters, cats, and dogs.

From Monday to Friday I am available early in the morning or in the afternoon/night. I can provide long or short walks, playtime, and attention. I love pets animals and play with them. It’s important to spend time with them a provide them food and attention. They don’t want to be alone.

“Victoria was a great communicator and took good care of both of my dogs. She is very kind, patient, and she sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout the entire day she spent in my house. Thank you!”


“Pia was the perfect sitter. Super affectionate with our dog, always on time and schedule, sent tons of photos and left the house super clean when she left. We’ll be booking her again and again and again!”

About: Four years ago, after my beloved dog of 14 years passed away, I found myself missing the companionship and unconditional love that dogs bring. That experience inspired me to step into the world of dog sitting, and it has truly become one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I work from home, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve grown up caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and bunnies, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Every pet that stays with me is treated like family. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your furry friend feels right at home. I also have the support of my family, who help ensure every pet receives plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m not your average dog sitter. My mission is to give every dog a vacation-like experience while you’re away. Whether it’s neighborhood walks, enrichment activities, or fun mini adventures around Miami (with your permission), I love making their stay exciting and enjoyable. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in great hands! Pet care is a part of my everyday routine! Since I work from home, I’m home throughout the day spoiling the pups with lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles. They’re never left alone for long, and I love making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. Caring for pets isn’t just something I fit into my schedule—it’s one of my favorite parts of every day. The care I provide depends on the service you choose and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away.
About: I just moved here from Chicago to start a position at UM! I’ve been an animal, especially dog and cat, person my entire life. Since leaving home, I’ve had to leave my puppies with my family during this transition. I miss them so dearly - I hope to find some families who have pets in need of some help. It will help me fulfill my need and love for animals, and I love to help others too. I worked at a dog kennel for 2+ years previously. Training, feeding, walking, and (my fav) playing with the pups! I feel confident in my ability to take care of any dog - big or small, energetic or sleepy. I have learned the skills to create a safe, trustworthy, and stable environment for you and your pets. I’m currently working full-time and the University of Miami - but my job allows for a lot of flexibility as a lot of my work is online. I’m completely free every afternoon after 5pm and open every weekend, but throughout the day I have the flexibility for potty breaks and walks. I have a lovely dog park right next to my apartment building complex, as well as ample space in my 650sq ft apartment to escape the heat and still play. I could play and pet with dogs/dogs all day . The most important part about your pets experience is their safety, and you, the owner having peace of mind that you will pick them up happy and healthy! Before any visit, I would like to prioritize discussing your dog needs, and your needs to ensure that you know your pets is in good hands.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats all of my life. I have boarded many fur babies at my home, and I help feed and find homes for stray cats. I am also very good with any special needs. I am currently working remotely part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your puppers or kitties. I am very flexible with weekdays, nights and weekends. I have a secure fenced-in yard with a pool to cool off. I have 2 friendly dogs to play with, or we can crate if needed.

My dog and cats safety at home are a high priority, I keep my home clean and free of anything they might chew or choke on.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenvar Heights
Liz is absolutely wonderful! Reliable, kind and truly loving to your fur babies. She sends photos and updates and you will feel truly at ease with her watching your littles at home. I highly recommend booking Liz and will seek her again for our next pet sitting.

Devin was amazing with our golden retriever, Honey! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while we were away. Honey was happy, loved, and clearly in excellent hands. We would absolutely trust Devin to watch her again and highly recommend her!

I would recommend Maddie to anyone looking for someone who gives their pet lots of attention when you leave them with her. She gave me lots of updates and had great communication. My pup is also a special needs dog and she did really great with tending to his emotional and physical needs. He needs a lot of patience to trust and when I returned to pick him up he was very comfortable with her ❤️❤️❤️

Hannie is AWESOME!! She handled my pack of Dobermans with ease (no small feat by ANY means) after only one meet and greet. She took amazing care of everyone, made sure they were well-fed and handled the pack dynamics perfectly. My babies were in heaven with her (she takes the cutest pics & videos!!) and were very clearly well cared for when I got home. I am so happy to have met Hannie, and my pups are obsessed with her. As a big dog owner I’m always nervous with new sitters, but I felt immediately at ease with Hannie (and my dogs were immediately obsessed with her). She followed all the instructions and went above & beyond in just making sure everyone was happy, safe, and having fun. Thank you Hannie!

Natalie was so great! We did a couple meet and greets as one of my babies is a little wary of new people. She was so patient and a dog whisper. Both my dogs took to her so fast. She was extremely communicative during our trip and sent lots of photos. She followed all our instructions perfectly and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. We would love to have her house sit for them again in the future

Amanda was amazing once again. She accepted a last-minute weekend request and took such great care of our two dogs. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and since this was her second time staying with them, they were clearly excited to see her again. What made this stay extra special was the personal touch—she left us a handwritten note and even an embroidered patch featuring both dogs. It was such a thoughtful surprise. We truly feel at ease knowing Amanda is with them, and we can’t wait to have her back again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Glenvar Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glenvar Heights is $85 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $98 per night. On Rover, 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 3,465 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenvar Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Glenvar Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Glenvar Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Glenvar Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
