“Roxanna and her husband were absolutely amazing. It was my first time using Rover and she made everything seem less. She sent me pictures daily of my dog and made sure he was spoiled the whole time I was away. Will definitely use her again. Thank you Roxanna.”

About: I have loved and cared for animals since I was a kid. Family and friends have trusted me to take care of pets and young as a few weeks old to as old ad 12 year of age. I love and care for any pet that comes into my home as if they were apart of my family, giving them lots of love, attention, and patience. As a certified veterinary assistant, I have hands-on experience caring for animals, including handling, feeding, administering medications, and recognizing when a pet may not be feeling well. I also have experience with puppy training and helping young dogs learn basic commands, routines, and good behaviors. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I am currently a college student so my availability is flexible around my class schedule. I am available on the weekends anytime, for weekdays I am available after 4 pm. If you have any concerns I’m happy to work with your schedule and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away! I have a fenced in back yard and two medium sized dogs that can keep your furbaby company. They are very welcoming to new animals in the house so there would be no problem integrating your fluffy friend! I regularly walk my dogs in the morning and during the evening but I would be more than happy to add more walks to accommodate your pets needs. Toys and water bowls will always be available to them whenever they need it as well.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy! I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m also a proud dog mom to a 2-year-old Cocker Spaniel named Honey. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby. I’m patient, attentive, and loving, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

I carefully follow feeding instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of interactions with other animals, and always respectful of your home and belongings. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you know your furry friend is happy, safe, and in good hands!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Michelle enough for the amazing care she gave our dog, Zeus, while we were traveling through Europe. From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. We could tell Zeus was happy and comfortable with her — he looked so well cared for and loved when we came back! Michelle kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind during our trip. It’s not easy to leave your furry family member behind, but Michelle made it so much easier for us. My wife and I are deeply grateful for her dedication and genuine affection for Zeus. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Michelle! ❤️🐾”

About: I’m a trusted dog fosterer for a local dog rescue charity. In my childhood our family continually rescued dogs so I’m used to lots of different personalities. My husband and I recently adopted our first dog, Belly, together and she means everything to us. We’ve been so grateful to see her journey from an anxious and never before socialized puppy into a confident and social girl and have learned so many important training techniques along the way. We’ve discovered that she prefers having other dogs in the house and loves to give them attention, so if your dog likes company too then it would be a great match! I’m a PhD student working remotely from our apartment every day so I’ll always be with your dog. We can accommodate boarding any day of the week. Our apartment block has a large enclosed yard space for running space and potty breaks, as well as a dog walking trail. We also have a long neighbourhood trail that is safe and traffic-free for leash walking.

“Tonya and her family were absolutely amazing with our Siberian Husky, Xena! They played catch, went on multiple walks each day, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and attention. We received daily photo updates and could tell Xena felt right at home. Tonya is very responsive and would routinely respond to our texts within 5 or less minutes. When I picked up Xena, she was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Tonya again—highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Hialeah Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Hialeah Gardens is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $59 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.

There are 4,288 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Hialeah Gardens. About 90% of Hialeah Gardens sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
