She communicated frequently, sent plenty of photos and videos, and kept me updated on her behavior and medications. She was kind, attentive, and caring. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Macenna. She took such warm, attentive care of my dog—it was clear from the start that my pup felt comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, my home was left spotless and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was an excellent sitter — 10/10! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, regularly sending updates and adorable photos of our dog, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was patient and attentive to our dog’s unique needs, giving him both the space and affection he required to feel comfortable. On top of that, she took great care of our home — everything was exactly as we left it. We feel so lucky to have found her and would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, hedgehogs, and plants. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and committed to following each pet’s unique routine and care instructions. I work from home and set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and keep pets comfortable in their familiar routine. I respect the client’s home, keep food and litter areas clean, secure doors and windows, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.
About: Hi, My name is Michael M. I just moved backed home to Miami. Since my first memories we have always owned dogs. My mom had a habit of picking up stray dogs. Her heart always broke when she saw a furry defenseless dog begging for food or needing shelter. My mom's big heart exposed me to many types of dogs all different sizes and temperament. I have been dog sitting for a while now and it's one of my favorite things to do. I am a realtor and I am able to work from home during the day while clients are working and when I am away it's for only a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard. Like I said my dog loves social interaction with other friendly doggies and would love to find friends he could play with. I am a real estate agent with my office at home. I will be able to watch over them while they play.
“Darlyn is reliable, a great communicator, and was very patient with my highly reactive dog. Thanks for working with us, Darlyn! We had some schedule changes because of the snowstorm. Darlyn was flexible and also made sure Pedrito got one last walk before the snow started. Highly recommend!”
“We’ve had Hali watch our two high energy dogs three times and she has done a great job. I really appreciated that she followed all care instructions, kept me updated on what was going on with them and that my dogs had a great time with her.”
“I can’t say enough good things! He was super communicative from start to finish and followed all of Jayda’s medication directions perfectly. Since she’s a senior dog who needs a lot of extra help, I really appreciated the way he went above and beyond to keep her comfortable and help her get around. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Definitely booking with him again — highly recommend!”
“Luciana took great care of our dogs and home while we were traveling. She was super responsive via text, and kept us updated with photos. Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Emily was amazing! She communicated really well throughout the entire stay and treated my pups with so much love and care. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We’re already using her again, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Chris was excellent! Our dogs were well taken care of and had a great time. He kept us well informed and was easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend his services and will use his services in the future.”
“Denys took amazing care of our dog Rocky while we were away. He was reliable, caring, and kept us at ease knowing Rocky was in great hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend!”
“We have had thr pleasure having Aleja care for our special needs dog Norman several times and she’s always puntual, professional and treats him like he is her own. We trust her fully to also take care of him on our home and stay overnight. She’s a dream come true and we can’t imagine a better match for our Norman.”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs since a young age and I have also watched my friend’s cats and dogs several times. I have a protective dog and have watched very high energy dogs so I understand each pet is different and that means they will have different needs. I love being around any and all animals! I’m currently in college so I will be available between classes and my part time job! I typically have free time each day, even if I do have classes or work. I can hang out with your pets for as long as you need and if there are any special instructions, I would be happy to follow them!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had 6 dogs throughout the years! I currently have 3 dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m very outgoing and active, and I love being outside, especially going on walks and spending time playing with dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, as well as cats, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently have full availability, so I’m able to be very flexible with your pet’s schedule! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or special needs. I’m very attentive and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own pets.

Macenna did a wonderful job caring for Norman and our home. Norman has epilepsy and requires a very specific routine, including medication every eight hours, so his care involves a lot of detailed instructions and consistency. Macenna took this responsibility seriously and followed his schedule and care instructions extremely well. She is smart, responsible, trustworthy, and has a great attitude. If she ever had a question or wasn’t certain about something, she asked rather than making assumptions, which I really appreciated. She is also very receptive to feedback and communicates well—both qualities that are especially important to me when someone is caring for a pet with complex needs. I also felt completely comfortable trusting Macenna in our home. She handled both Norman’s care and the responsibilities around our house with maturity and good judgment. Having someone who listens carefully, communicates, and genuinely wants to do things correctly gave me tremendous peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely trust her to care for Norman and our home again and highly recommend her.
Tito was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! He took excellent care of them and treated them with so much love, attention, and patience. You can really tell that he genuinely loves animals and cares about their well-being. My dogs were very happy with him, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely trust Tito with them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Tito, for taking such great care of them! 🐾❤️
Frederick stayed at our place and took great care of our American staffordshire terrier! He was super reliable, responsive and I was at ease knowing that my dog is in good hands. He has a lot of experience with dogs and it was amazing that he could run with him. He left our place in super tidy and clean condition, sent us daily updates and I could tell my dog loves him. I’m very happy we found Frederick. Highly recommend!
We have used Elisha several times now, and she has really come in clutch when something last minute pops up. She takes very good care of our girls and we feel extremely comfortable leaving them in her care, and in our home. She continuously keeps us updated with texts and pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets!!
I cannot recommend Alyiah highly enough—she is absolutely amazing! She has been caring for my two dogs for years, and the love she has for them is truly special. She treats my pups like her own—honestly, like they’re her children—and it shows in every single thing she does. What really sets Alyiah apart is how incredible she is when one of my dogs isn’t feeling well. She goes above and beyond, making sure they’re comfortable, giving medications carefully and reliably, and providing so much extra attention and care. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her hands. Her updates and photos are thoughtful and reassuring, and you can just feel how much she genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional, Alyiah is the BEST. Five stars isn’t enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fiona was amazing with our fur babies. We went on an extended trip for our wedding and honeymoon. Fiona sent us video and picture updates that made us feel as ease during our travels. My bulldog even got himself a girlfriend, played so well with Luna. Fiona went above and beyond I would definitely love for her to watch our babies again.
Amber did an amazing job taking care of our boys for our 2 weeks trip, first time we use a sitter for that long of a period but we didn’t have any concerns while we were overseas, she was very responsive even with a crazy 13 hours time zone difference. Will definitely keep booking Amber for our upcoming trips if she’s available.

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 Golden Glades 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 Golden Glades 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Golden Glades 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!
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.
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 .
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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
