About: I have taken care of pets since i was a little kid! Feeding neighbor's dogs, daytime dog walking for busy friends, helping friends with their pet sitting business. I have taken care of many senior dogs, and have experience with medication and post operative instructions. I love walking, and especially when i have a dog friend with me! I have helped provide holiday season pet care, with daily drop in visits as well as regular mid day visits for working clients. I am currently seeking a part time work from home job, so I can be flexible with scheduling pet care visits. I can easily provide a 15-20 minute walk or play session, depending on individual needs. I am not currently working, so I can be flexible with scheduling. I can plan dog walks and drop in visits to meet owner and pet needs. When I visit someone's home, I treat it the same way as my own house. I can follow notes and instructions in regards to the pet care, medications, feeding, and things like turning on/off exterior lights. I am also comfortable with house alarm systems.

“Ruth is super responsive and very friendly with your babies! I had a last minute drop in I only had two hours to find someone and she was very fast at responding and helped me out in a pinch. Our original schedule was for 6 visits and she squeezed in the 7th for us last minute! Life saver!”

About: I’m the biggest pet auntie, I love all types of animals! I used to have pets when I was growing up, and now I just love helping out my friends and family with theirs. I’m a really active person, so I can easily take your dogs out for runs, long walks, or fun trips to the dog parks to burn off energy. By request, I can also try my best to groom your dog it’s been a while, but I don’t mind helping. I’m very attentive and will do my best to accommodate your pets needs and work with them. I'm currently a student, so I have a lot of free time and a very flexible schedule. I'm open for whatever you need, just communicate! I love the outdoors and I’m hoping your pet does too! If they don’t, I don’t mind staying inside, but if they do like being outdoors, I will gladly take them to the park. If they prefer staying inside, I’ll keep them entertained and well-fed. I also don't mind accommodating any of your rules!

About: Hi there! As to experience with dogs, I have brought all three of our family dogs home- my chihuahua Blueberry, my Maltipoo Teddy who I taught how to do obstacle courses such as jump through hoops, run through poles, go through tunnels, ect. And lastly, I got my very own miniature Aussiedoodle puppy this past year named Kova who’s about 11 months old now. I have 4 years of experience dog sitting my family, friends, and people on Nextdoor throughout all 4 years of high school from tiny to large dogs. I can also help teach them tricks! I live in an apartment close to University of Miami campus where I live with a few other girls and we have my puppy & my roomates Pomeranian living with us. I’m looking to pet sit, do walks, and check in’s since I love animals and have a bit more free time this year! I also have a car so I am able to drive to pickup and drop off! I promise I will treat your furry friends like my own with the utmost care & love! I’m currently a Junior at the University of Miami. My only priorities are my classes but besides my class time, I am completely available to take care of your pups! Due to my class schedule: • I am available Monday anytime besides 3:30-5pm. • I am available Tuesday anytime besides 2pm-6:30pm. • I am available Wednesday anytime besides 2pm-8pm. • I am available Thursday anytime besides 2pm-3:30pm and 5pm-9pm. • I am completely available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but contact me 3 days in advance for weekends to make sure I am completely available. I live in a townhouse style apartment with 4 other super sweet girls and we have 2 pups living with us to keep your dog company! I have my own puppy Kova who is a miniature Aussiedoodle girl and we have a miniature Pomeranian boy named Gio. We don’t have much of a backyard but I walk my own puppy about 4x a day through the grassy front yard and to the dog park in our complex. There are also multiple parks around the area that I love to take her to that I can walk your dog at as well! My pup no longer needs her crate but I have a crate that I can set up ahead of time if needed!

About: Hi there! I've been an animal lover since I was very young, and that passion led me to study 3 years of veterinary medicine and complete a veterinary assistant course. I combine that technical knowledge with a caring, detail-oriented approach to give your pet the care it deserves. I'm currently building my own pet care business, and I'd love to be part of the trusted team of people who look after your furry friend while you're away. I know every pet has their own personality and energy level, so I offer a personalized experience tailored to what each furry companion needs to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I'm available 7 days a week, since I'm 100% dedicated to pet care. This allows me to offer flexible scheduling to fit each family's needs, whether it's for walks, visits, or care at any time of day. Trust and safety are at the core of everything I do. With my background in veterinary medicine and a veterinary assistant course, I know how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and respond calmly and responsibly. I'm committed to ongoing learning so I can always provide the best care possible, giving you peace of mind that your furry friend is safe and in good hands.

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.

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!

Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.

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 Pet Sitting - Glenvar Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Glenvar Heights is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $52 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 5,472 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Glenvar Heights. 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 Glenvar Heights. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
