“She is awesome! She handled our dog confidently and immediately took charge. Even with our dog’s reactivity, she walked her around our neighborhood without any issues. We were prepared with treats and toys, but she didn’t even need them. Highly recommend!”

“Dayana was amazing. My dog gets scared very easily and Dayana was extremely patient on walks with her and made sure she was happy with her toys and treats before she left. She kept me updated with super cute photos and was very communicative. Definitely will reach out to again in the future!”

What I Provide For Your Pup 🐾 • Regular potty breaks and walks • Drop-in visits for feeding, watering, medication administration, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles (Varies as requested) • Dog walks to give your pup some exercise and fresh air • Feeding based on their usual routine • Fresh water always available • Photos & video updates so you can see how they’re doing • Care based on your dog’s personality and individual needs Good to Know 🐾 • Drop-ins are done in your home • Dog walks are done around your neighborhood • Dogs MUST be friendly and comfortable around new people. (Reactivity with other dogs can be worked around while I’m walking them.) • Please let me know about your dog’s routine, personality/triggers, any medications/allergies, and anything else you’d like to add that will help me take the best care of them! Pricing & Booking 🐾 • Higher maintenance dogs may have a slightly higher rate depending on the specific care. • Located in Homestead, FL. • I’m usually available from 9am-9 pm on weekdays and weekends! (Please note that these times may vary based on holidays, special events, etc!) I will always let you know in advance if I won’t be available on a certain day/time. When your pup is with me, my main goal is to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I’ll follow their normal routine as much as I can, whether that’s their usual feeding time, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or anything else they’re used to at home. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me so they can stay on their normal routine. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so I’ll make sure your baby gets plenty of attention, love, and playtime during our visit. I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own and want them to feel safe and comfortable while I’m with them. 🐾❤️ For drop-ins, I can help with things like feeding, potty breaks, refreshing their water, giving them some playtime and attention, and making sure they’re doing okay while you’re away. For walks, I’ll make sure they get a good walk at their own pace and plenty of time to sniff and enjoy themselves. I’ll also send you updates and pictures during each visit so you know how your baby is doing and can see what we’re up to! I’ll always do my best to communicate clearly and make sure your dog gets the care and attention they deserve. ❤️

About: When I was 10 years old, I got my first pet, a 3 month Pomeranian, ever since then, I had many pets throughout, Daisy, Lily, and Penny. They are my world and I would take care of others pets as if they were my own! And now Theodora has joined time and is my first cat 🐈‍⬛. Since I don't work a regular full-time job, my schedule is flexible and pet care fits easily into my day. I'm available both weekdays and weekends, so I can build in time for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles without feeling rushed. For longer stays, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention throughout the day, and I'll follow whatever routine you normally have, whether that's specific feeding times, walk schedules, or medication. Como no tengo un trabajo regular de tiempo completo, mi horario es flexible y cuidar mascotas encaja fácilmente en mi día. Estoy disponible tanto entre semana como los fines de semana, así que puedo reservar tiempo para paseos, juegos, comidas y mimos sin prisas. Para estancias más largas, me aseguraré de que su mascota reciba mucha atención durante todo el día, y seguiré la rutina que usted normalmente tenga, ya sean horarios específicos de comida, programas de paseos o medicamentos. I do not currently care for pets in my home, but will care for pets in your home, I will care for them as you wish! Actualmente no cuido mascotas en mi casa, pero cuidaré a las suyas en su hogar. ¡Las cuidaré como usted desee!

About: As a dog mom myself, I know the importance of leaving your most precious family member in good hands. You will enjoy your time away knowing they are well taken care of. I work from home which gives me the flexibility of watching over your fur baby 24/7 and giving you peace of mind that they will always have good company around. I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own who are playful, potty trained and loving towards other dogs. Also, since I work from home your baby will never feel alone.

About: Hi! My name is Camila. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been caring for animals. From saving baby ducks without a mother, rescuing a handicap kitten, to even watching wild lizards hatch from their eggs - I’ve always been in awe of animals. I gained extensive experience during my Veterinary Assistant program in high school. While interning at an Animal Hospital, I learned how to administer medications, bathe dogs, comfort them, and keep their spaces clean. I also learned the importance of reading an animal’s body language and pay attention to their needs. I have been dog sitting/house sitting since 2015. I have cared for big fluffy dogs, small dogs, senior dogs, and plenty of cats. I know that every animal is unique and has different needs. I’ll adjust to your pets lifestyle and make sure they stick to their routine. My passion is for animals, and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I’m currently available everyday. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them the attention they deserve! I currently offer dog walking services, drop in visits, and house sitting in your home. ** disclaimer** House sitting service is your fur babies staying in the comfort of their home, I do not stay overnight in your home. I get there as early as 7am and tend to their personal needs. However, for safety and privacy, I sleep in my bed and make my rounds in the morning. My dog and cat are my children. They sleep with me every night and have different beds for them to sleep in downstairs and upstairs. They each have a basket of toys and my cat even has a cat tower and a cat room where she can relax. If I would sit at a clients home, I would love to chat with you so that I can follow your pets routine. I do believe animals should roam free, so while they are with me, they will be receiving loads of cuddles and play time.

About: My first vote was when I was 10, and from that moment on I knew I would love her. My neighbors were always asking me to feed their furry friends and take them for walks. They would say, "There goes the girl and her dogs." I have now left my old job as a Medical Assistant because I have always dreamed of getting more involved with furry animals, I think I was born for them and I feel I have a deep connection with them. I have a large, spacious, fenced and secure yard. I also have three adorable dogs that will keep your furry friend company at all times.

About: I've been living with animals all my life. I've taken care of several different breeds of dogs and cats. I've even worked with local zoos and sanctuaries. I also assist in managing a local cat colony and do other things in the community to help out the animals. I couldn't see my life without animals. I will surely treat your fur baby with love and care just as if they are my own. Right now I am working from home part time and I have a flexible schedule, set schedules welcome, I'm up for morning walks, over night caring and weekends for your cat or dog. I prefer to care for your pet at your house. I can possibly accommodate one or two cats at my house. I live with three dogs and 5 cats and if you are ok with them being roommates for a day or so, we can definitely discuss that option. I am open to discuss any arrangements that will work for you and your family.

About: I’m a gentle, patient, and detail-oriented caregiver who always treats pets like family. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. I have experience with both energetic pups and calm senior dogs, and I’m comfortable supporting different temperaments. Whether your dog needs slow, reassuring walks or a little extra playtime and stimulation, I adjust to what makes them happiest. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — every single visit! I’m a full-time graduate student, but my weekly routine fits pet care perfectly. I only go to campus for exams on Friday mornings and have classes Mondays and Tuesdays, which still leaves plenty of time for morning, afternoon, or evening walks on those days. I’m completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, so I’m able to offer longer visits, flexible scheduling, and consistent daily care. I plan my study time around my bookings to make sure every pet gets reliable attention, exercise, and affection. I only care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. This helps maintain their routine and reduces stress, especially for shy or anxious pups. When I’m in your home, I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walking routes, crate routines, and any special preferences your pet has. I’m very mindful about safety: doors and gates stay securely closed, leashes are always checked before walks, and I never rush or take unnecessary risks. I treat your home with complete respect and keep everything clean and exactly as I found it. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities every visit.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐶❤️ I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from playful puppies who need lots of attention to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. My experience in animal rescue has taught me that every dog is different. Some are energetic and playful, while others are shy, nervous, or need time to feel comfortable. I take the time to understand each dog and respect what makes them unique. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I enjoy being active, spending time with pets, and keeping them on a consistent schedule. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and the individual needs of each pet. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away, and I’m committed to giving them plenty of attention, love, and care. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow feeding schedules, walks, medications when needed, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of patience, attention, and affection while respecting their individual personality and boundaries. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. 🐾❤️

We absolutely love Marbely! ❤️ We’ve booked her many times to walk our sweet Pepe, and every experience has been wonderful. She and her husband are both incredibly kind, friendly, and caring. They’re always reliable, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing Pepe is in such good hands during his walks. We’re so happy we found them and truly appreciate the love and attention they give him. Highly recommend! 🐾🤍

I cannot say enough good things about Melissa! She pulled up and immediately connected with my dogs and started working with them. You can tell within minutes that she genuinely loves what she does and is damn good at it. I thought I was just finding someone I could trust to come walk my dogs while I’m at work, she’s SO much more than that. I already feel completely comfortable leaving my babies in her care, I feel blessed that I found her. ☺️

Very grateful, I’d highly recommend. I’ve been recovering from surgery and one of the things I can’t do is walk my dog. I was so worried because she’s a 70 pound lab who tends to pull on her walks. I was so stressed out, couldn’t ask family to help, and had reached out to a couple of Rover’s who were unable to help. Cara was very transparent from the beginning and has been such a great help. Layla is very friendly but you can tell when she’s not comfortable with someone and that is definitely not the case with Cara. Layla always waits the door around the time she knows she comes by and she always comes back very excited from her walk. Thank you again

FAQs for Dog Walking - Homestead

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Homestead is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 2,843 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Homestead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Homestead. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Homestead after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Homestead. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
