About: For as long as I can remember, I have been around dogs and cats. Whether they are my own or friends', I have always been an animal lover. I have had numerous opportunities to take care of furry friends and love to do so, especially as I am currently a traveling graduate student. Over the years, my experience has ranged from daily feedings and active walks to creating a calm, safe environment for pets while their owners are away. From one animal lover to another, I value bringing a high level of responsibility, clear communication, and detail-oriented care to pet sitting. I deeply respect every animal's unique routine and make it a priority to treat your pets like my own, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise. You can always count on timely photo updates and total peace of mind knowing your best friend is in dependable hands. During the week, I am off by 3:30pm and have generally an open schedule during the weekends to provide care, play and walks of many sorts. I offer drop-in visits and house-sitting services exclusively in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and safe. With a highly dependable vehicle and strong time-management skills, you can count on me to always arrive on schedule. My top priority is to build trust with both you and your pet by providing dedicated, high-quality care, strictly following your routine, and keeping you updated every step of the way so you can have complete peace of mind while away.
About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring college student who genuinely loves animals and understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I have pets of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter boxes, basic routines, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting depending on your needs. I also know every pet has their own personality, so I make sure to follow your instructions and keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. Although, on Mondays, I am only available until 4 pm. I’m also happy to work with pet parents on a routine that fits their pet’s needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special routines. I also keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets carefully, and give regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
“Megan and Trevor went above and beyond when caring for our 14 yo Shorkie Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and someone outside of family. I couldn’t have felt more comfortable on vacation knowing he was receiving the best care. They sent frequent updates and pictures that melted my heart. I highly recommend them and will no doubt use them again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, giving me a natural understanding of their needs. I am the biggest dog lover ever, I would do anything for them. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or offering gentle support to older dogs, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My work is fully remote, so I have more than enough time to properly care for and be with your furry friends. The only times I wouldn’t be available are the times I travel, but other than that, when I am home, I can dedicate most of my time to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I currently have no permanent pets due to my travel schedule, which is why I’m so excited to care for pets while I’m home. My beautiful, spacious resort-style apartment is incredibly pet-friendly, with plenty of outdoor space to play and explore. With stunning views of a waterfront marina walkway, pets can enjoy peaceful walks and fresh air. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for!
“Arial recently stayed with our dogs and handled a medical emergency like a pro. She called me on the way to the Veterinary ER and kept me updated throughout the experience. I cannot say enough nice things about her. She leaves my home nicer than she found it and sends pictures throughout the day. She is excellent with communication. I’d give her 10 stars if I could!!”

“Emily was an amazing in-home sitter for my two senior dogs, one of which is handicapped with special medical needs. Emily was very communicative and took the time to make sure she was prepared to take care of my dogs before the stay. While I was gone she made sure to update me with photos and videos so I wouldn’t stress. I came home to 2 happy, healthy, and well cared for dogs. So I would definitely recommend Emily!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. From a young age, I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, bathing, and giving my dogs the love and attention they need. I’ve always formed incredibly strong bonds with my pets and genuinely see them as members of the family. More recently, I rescued a French Bulldog who has become my absolute best friend. She has taught me even more about being patient, attentive, and understanding of a dog’s individual personality, needs, and routines. I’m someone who pays close attention to the little things—whether your pet is feeling nervous, needs extra cuddles, has lots of energy, or simply wants someone to keep them company. When your pet is in my care, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own dog. 🐾❤️ My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m very reliable and will always make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and lots of love along the way! 🐾❤️ My goal is to make your time away stress-free while keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐾 I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. I make sure they’re in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. I also understand that every pet is different, so I never force interaction and always give them time to feel comfortable with me. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely confident and at ease knowing your pet is being cared for like family. ❤️🐶
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.
About: $$$$ >>>>I can give you $20 OFF your first booking $$$$$ send me a message to ask me how <<<<<<<< . Exclusive care for boarding. Your dog won’t be staying in a house full of other dogs you don’t know. No kids either. Your baby will have the peace and calm they deserve as well as my full attention 🥰 These are the reasons why you should book with me: 1) I am a very patient and calm person, very emotionally controlled. With me, you can have peace of mind that your baby is being very well treated, no matter what. I do not believe in physically correcting or punishing dogs. 2) I am a very honest person that doesn’t negotiate values and moral. I will always respect you, your home, your pet and follow your instructions thoroughly. 3) I LOVE being around cats and dogs. This is not a job for me, it is more like a hobby, honestly. Your pet will receive a lot of cuddles and kisses (if they like it). I guarantee you and your furbaby will love me! I work from home for my own business so my schedule is 100% flexible, I choose the time I start and finish working everyday based on my client’s dog’s needs. I do not have a fenced yard but I have a big front yard and can take your dog on leash for bathroom breaks. I will always be around and careful with what I have in the house that could cause them harm.
About: Hi! I own a pet store and help train dogs. It all started with teaching my two pups and providing them the best care. Hi! I am a lover of all things fluffy! I work remotely, so my coworkers are nonexistent! After I started helping out my friends while they were at work, I decided I could use some fluffy coworkers! I live in a luxury townhouse gated community. There is also an exercise circle I utilize daily. There is a lot of shade and dog water stations along with it as well.

With every stay, you can expect: ✨ Regular photo and video updates ✨ Plenty of walks and potty breaks ✨ Playtime, enrichment, and companionship ✨ Individualized care based on your dog’s routine ✨ Lots of patience, love, and attention Whenever possible, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the first booking so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s the perfect fit.

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! ❤️ • One family at a time • Individual attention • Calm, home environment • Available daily from 7 AM to 9 PM • Flexible routines based on your dog’s needs • I carefully follow your dog’s routine and care instructions. • Thoughtful photo and message updates throughout every stay. • Comfort, safety, and consistency are my priorities.

“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.”
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: I have always had a dog or dogs in my life, and I feel that I always have a good connection with them. If someone would like to know what kind of dog owner am I, they just need to see my relationship with my dog to understand that I respect them and take a good care of them. I have had all kinds of breeds, from a Pomeranian, to a pitbull and a black lab, so I feel I can take care of any type of dogs

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ives Estates
Nicole did an amazing job taking care of Dior! He absolutely loved her, and it was clear that he felt happy and comfortable in her care. Nicole is such a sweet, kind, and caring person. I would absolutely trust her to stay with Dior again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone wonderful to care for their pet. Thank you so much, Nicole! ❤️

Naomi and her husband did an absolutely, positively AMAZING job taking care of my animals! I honestly couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. I’ll be completely honest — I was very nervous about having someone I found through an app come into my home and take care of my animals. It’s a big thing for me to trust someone with my pets and my personal space, so I had a lot of hesitation at first. But Naomi gave me such a sense of reassurance and comfort from the very beginning. She was so kind, understanding, communicative, and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. They went above and beyond to make sure my animals were happy, comfortable, loved, and having fun. Knowing that they were being treated with so much care while I was away gave me such peace of mind. You can genuinely tell that Naomi and her husband have a true love for animals and treat them like their own. They were respectful of my home, attentive to my animals, and made the entire experience so much easier than I ever expected. I’m honestly so grateful I decided to trust them. They completely changed my perspective on using Rover, and I would absolutely have them take care of my animals again without hesitation. If you’re someone who is nervous about letting a stranger from an app into your home or trusting someone with your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Naomi and her husband. They were wonderful from beginning to end, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my babies! ❤️🐾

Herbert was extremely communicative and proactive when it came to caring for my 3 cats! He sent daily updates and was sure to ask questions when any concerns came up. He followed all directions and went above and beyond to make sure my pets felt cared for. Very grateful for his service and I will be booking him again in the near future!!

Izzy watched our senior cat, dog & frog for a week and was amazing! Highly recommend her to everyone. She sent daily pictures and even took our pup to the beach and on different adventures. They all loved their time with her so much and my wife and I fully trust her! It’s never easy letting someone new into your home but she was the perfect fit. Thank you Izzy! 10/10 experience

10/10 would recommend! Eliza went above and beyond all expectations this weekend for my dog and I. She asked all the right questions prior to her stay which was an immediate green flag. My dog is very cautious and sensitive around new people. Eliza used techniques to familiarize and comfort my dog. I recommend her to anyone, she is professional and her love and knowledge with animals shows in her work. She sent me lots of pics and updates, was flexible when I had to adjust my schedule. So glad I found her!!

We had an excellent experience with Diana. She was punctual, and so sweet. She stayed in our home for several hours, and we felt completely comfortable having her in our home. Our dog usually doesn't engage immediately but she was truly patient and understanding. We will absolutely book her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

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 Ives Estates 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 Ives Estates 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 Ives Estates 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!

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.
