Dog Sitting Homestead

About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for and build strong relationships with a variety of cats and birds over the years. When friends or family have needed to travel, I’ve also cared for their dogs, typically for trips of up to two days. These experiences have helped me understand the different needs and personalities of each pet, while reinforcing the importance of patience, consistency, and providing attentive, reliable care. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention. I’ll follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and doing well.

“Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m reliable, organized, and attentive to pets’ routines and comfort levels. I enjoy spending time with animals, going on walks, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, giving medications if instructed, and providing updates/photos for peace of mind. I just graduated college and am waiting for my internship to start, so I am completely free and open for work at this time. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I can provide dependable care and quick communication. I understand that every pet has different routines, personalities, and comfort levels, so I always try to create a calm, safe, and positive environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking instructions, medication directions, and any special requests from owners. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed while they’re away. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care during visits.

“Great service! And very knowledgeable handling cats.”

About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)

About: I have always loved animals, and caring for my own dog, Jaxxon, has made that love even stronger. Jaxxon is part of my family, and taking care of him has taught me how important patience, responsibility, routine, and trust are when it comes to pets. Along with caring for Jaxxon, I have experience pet sitting and house sitting for many different kinds of animals, including various breeds of dogs, parrots, and even snakes. I understand that every animal has its own personality, comfort level, and care needs. Some pets need lots of playtime and attention, while others need calm energy, patience, or a specific routine. I am comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and respected. Whether I am walking a dog, feeding pets, keeping them company, or caring for a home while the owners are away, I take the responsibility seriously. I know pets are family, and I would treat every animal with the same care and kindness I give my own Jaxxon. 🐶💛 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am responsible, organized, and already used to caring for my own dog, Jaxxon. I am available for pet sitting, house sitting, walks, drop-ins, and giving pets the attention they need while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a routine, and I do my best to follow instructions closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I care for pets with patience, kindness, and close attention to their needs. I have experience house sitting and caring for many different animals, including dogs of different breeds and sizes, parrots, and even snakes. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow feeding and care instructions, keep pets safe, and treat every animal like family. My own dog, Jaxxon, has taught me how important love, routine, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet.

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 had animals in my house since I was born, with up to 13 in my house at one point. I’ve had cats, dogs, ferrets, bunnies, bearded dragons, birds, and fish. So, I’ve had a lot of experience caring for animals and i’m very open and excited to care for many others! I start nursing school in the Fall, so I will be having classes, but, I have plenty of availability to care for your animals, with night shifts, day shifts, and can be open to whatever you need. I have indoor cats but I have taken care of outdoor cats as well. I have a kennel for my dog for when nobody is home for longer periods of time, but have cared for dogs with no kennels/crates.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all types since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... Your pet is in the best hands, It is a pleasure for me to do it. He cuidado perros de todo tipo desde los 10 años.

Y es un placer para mí hacerlo Well to start, the dogs must have their 3 meals a day, they must walk 3 times a day in 8 hour intervals and each walk should be around 20-30 minutes, a bath if necessary but it is optional and a lot of love.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them—from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, birds, ducks, chickens, goats and cows, along with a very beloved ferret who still holds a special place in my heart. That lifelong experience has made me comfortable around animals with all kinds of personalities, routines and needs. I've learned that every pet is different: some want to be right by your side, some need time to warm up, some have endless energy, and others are happiest simply knowing you're nearby. Today, I'm a proud cat mom to three, and my love for animals is a huge part of why I'm here. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care, and I want every owner to feel confident knowing their pet is being looked after with genuine affection, patience and attention. Whether I'm caring for your pet for a few hours or while you're away, my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved and as close to their normal routine as possible. I'll care for them with the same thoughtfulness I'd want someone to give my own. ❤️ I currently have availability during evenings, nights, and weekends, allowing me to provide attentive care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and routines so their experience feels familiar, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I provide care in my clients’ homes, my priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable in the environment they already know. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions you have for their care. I’m also very respectful of the homes I’m trusted with. I’m naturally extremely tidy (admittedly, a bit of a neat freak!), so I’ll keep your pet’s spaces clean, tidy up as needed, and treat your home with the same care and consideration I would my own. My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home that feels just as you left it—if not a little tidier. :)

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.

“Lexi has been an invaluable asset in our family, always ready to step in to take care of our Bingo & Rolly to make sure we had the time to bring the kids on a rare day/weekend trip. Even when asking last minute, same day, Lexi always came to our help and once here into our home she lovingly took care of our beloved pugs as if they were hers, so much so that even our rescue Bingo who has experienced trauma in the past and is shy with most people, opened up to her. Regrettably, we are leaving the area, or else Lexi would have surely remained our trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Lexi, for taking care of Bingo & Rolly and for being so friendly and kind to us.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 5 years, including pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.

“Sanjana was amazing. We have an elderly dog who has problems seeing and gets easily confused. Sanajana made sure he was OK each day and walked and fed him. Our dog accepted her immediately and it's like we never left the house. Thank you Sanjana!”

About: I am a service dog and pet trainer, if your furry friend is a little difficult we can work through it together, I have worked with reactive and aggressive pets before. As well if you have a younger puppy learning the way of life contact me and we can work it out. I am currently in college so I am always home for those pups that need a buddy throughout the day, I have a fenced in backyard. But I do think walks, stimulating games and training are very important. My dogs go on 2-3 walks a day one in the morning mainly for exercise and to use the bathroom and another in the afternoon where I use their second meal for training . If the owner is okay I do this same schedule with their fur friend but my schedule is fully customizable to what your pet is confortable with if you rather him or her only going potty in the backyard and staying indoors until you come back if it’s okay with you it’s okay with me :)

About: New Clients: All dogs regardless of sex must submit valid rabies certificate/documentation before they will be approved (Miami Dade county law requires all dogs over 4 months to have rabies vaccine), any dog regardless of sex that is not fully UTD (including bordetella) will be automatically declined. All male dogs must also submit documentation proving they are neutered for approval. Unneutered Male dogs will be automatically declined. No Exceptions!!!!! I've had dogs most of my life since I was 8 years old (currently on dogs #3 and #4). I'm a natural with dogs (some say I'm a dog whisperer) and love them so much (I love giving belly rubs). I own two Siberian Husky that are well cared for so they are my references. Services offered: My house: Boarding, Walking, Grooming (Bath, Blow, Dry, and Nail Clipping only, No Haircuts/Shaving or Teeth Cleaning). Takes me about an hour to groom and dry each of my dogs using professional grooming equipment (Grooming is extra). Note: Boarding, Day Care, Walking, Dog Park and Grooming are all seperate services, so each has their own separate charge. If you want Walking, Dog Park, or Grooming Services it must be paid for on top of the Boarding/Day Care rate or service will not be performed. Drop Off / Pickup rate is for the first 10 miles from my house. Each additional mile is an additional $2.00 per mile (rounded up). there's 4 trips involved to pickup and dropoff as it is 2 round trips. For example if your address is 10 miles from me that means I have to drive 40 miles in total to pickup and dropoff your pooch so your total pickup/drop off rate would be $85 ($25 for the first 10 miles + $60 for the remaining 30 miles). Total Distance is determined by the fastest route during rush hour traffic on the day of booking request. Owner is responsible for all tolls for pickup/dropoff aswell which will be added at the time of booking. Your house: Drop In Visits, Walking My property is 6,240 sq.ft so plenty of space for your dog(s) to run around and play. The backyard is Siberian Husky escape proof with concrete all the way around the backyard fence so your dog(s) can't dig or find a way out (unless your dog can jump a 6ft high fence). if your dog is an outdoor dog you can leave him/her in my backyard without any worries of escaping as there are two locked gates in the backyard and I'm the only person who has the key. I specialize in Siberian Husky, if you own Siberian Husky this is the place for your husky with someone who is capable of handling such a special breed. I work full time but my job is very flexible, allows me to work whenever I want and lots of traveling around the city which allows for a quick 15 minute potty break/feeding and go back to work mid-day if I'm near home. Safety is my #1 priority (this is why I require all dogs to submit their valid rabies, UTD, and neutered documentation. When your dog first arrives on the property the first thing I do is introduce your dog to all the dogs on the property to see how your dog responds to each dog. If your dog(s) has problems getting along with other dogs it is my job to find a suitable group for your dog to spend their stay with. In the event your dog cannot find a suitable group then your dog will not interact with the other dogs or groups and will be placed in their own group for the remainder of their stay. During mealtime your dog will be temporarily isolated from the other dogs (in a crate or in a room by themself) until they finish (this is to prevent fights with other dogs over resource guarding and to insure your dog only eats the food they are use to). Once your dog has finished only then will your dog be allowed to return to the group. When I am away from home all dogs are isolated from each other (unless they came from the same household) until I return.

They'll enjoy a welcoming stay with plenty of space to play in my fully fenced backyard, which features both a grassy and concrete area. Inside, there's a spacious, comfortable environment for them to relax and feel right at home. I am a work-from-home professional, which allows me to be present for your pets throughout the afternoon. I have a large, fenced yard and ample indoor space, so they'll get plenty of attention and exercise while with me. My home is currently pet-free, so your pet will have my full attention during their stay. We have a fenced backyard with both concrete and grassy areas, offering plenty of space for fun.
