“Deborah did an outstanding job with our babies. When I got home neither of them were stressed out from us being gone or from the sitting. She did what she said she would and what we asked from her. We will be rebooking with Deborah again.”
“I have to admit I was super nervous leaving my boys for 2 weeks, especially with my cat having congestive heart failure but Ruth was wonderful and followed instructions, came back to our home and the boys looking great. Thank you Ruth, I will be rebooking you again.”
About: We’re retired pet lovers starting a new chapter in life. With all our kids grown and out of the house, we now enjoy our spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in Kendall — complete with a large yard and lots of love to give! We’ve had pets our entire lives and truly know how to care for and love them. Over the years, we’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and private clients, both in our home and theirs. We’re experienced with feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and—most importantly—making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Now that we’re retired, we have the time and heart to welcome furry guests into our home. Our big yard is perfect for running and playing, and our calm, peaceful lifestyle means your pet will always have company, comfort, and attention. Our home may feel a little too quiet these days—so we’d love to fill it with happy paws and wagging tails. ✨ Pickup and drop-off available for a fee, depending on your location 🗣️ English & Español spoken As a retired couple, we have full availability during the week and weekends. Our daily routine is calm and flexible, which allows us to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. We wake up early, spend time in the yard or go for walks (if needed), and we’re home most of the day to make sure pets are never alone and always feel cared for. Afternoons are for playtime, cuddles, or rest, depending on the pet’s needs. We’re also flexible and happy to follow any special routines or schedules. Your pet will be a loved part of our peaceful daily life. We care for pets in a calm, loving environment. In our home, they’ll enjoy a large, secure yard for play and exercise, and a clean, cozy space indoors where they can relax and feel at home. We’re always present, making sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow all instructions carefully to maintain their routine.

Whether in our home or yours, your pet will be treated like family.
About: I lost my soul dog in September of 2026 and I can honestly say he changed my life. He opened my heart to bigger dog breeds, taught me that old dogs can learn new tricks, and showed me the unconditional love that we all only hope to get. I worked with a trainer to help train him as a service dog and I was able to learn from the K9 training company and continue his training over his last few years. I love dogs, big and small, and of all breeds. I would love to honor my sweet boy by continuing to care for the dogs in my community, with compassion and care. I do work full time but am available part time after work and on weekends for dog sitting or dog walking. I worked with a trainer in the past to train my previous dog to be a service dog and was taught all of the basic skills needed to teach an old dog new tricks. Unfortunately, I lost my 9-year-old boxer, Hunter, to cancer in September of 2026 and he was the light of my life and my soul dog. I have since been looking to give back to the animal community in some form by either volunteering or helping others care for their beloved fur babies. I miss Hunter so much and I remember how I would only trust him with the people that valued animals as much as I did so I hope to be that for those who need it, as I know life and demands can sometimes call for our time and attention elsewhere. I have experience house and dog sitting two golden doodles while keeping up their routines and training. I also have a love for all breeds and sizes as my family dog is a little 8-pound pomeranian, who hates the outdoors, and my own baby boy was an 80 pound Boxer/Pitbull mix, that loved walks, being outdoors, and loved people.
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for animals. Throughout my pet-sitting journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring not only for furry four-legged friends, but also barn animals, reptiles, rodents, and aquatic pets. I am a reliable, communicative, loving, and attentive sitter who provides not just the experience your pet needs, but also the love, care, and peace of mind every pet parent deserves. Pet sitting is my full-time profession, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and flexible scheduling. I intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept to ensure each pet receives my full attention, so early reservations are recommended. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. I maintain a clean, secure environment and closely monitor behavior to ensure comfort and well-being. I provide regular updates with photos and detailed communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.
About: I am my friends and family’s go to person for taking care of their pets for over 5 years. I have taken care of many different breeds including Chihuahuas, Labrador’s, Blue heelers, Aussies and many others. I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. When I pet sit, they become my first priority and I make sure they get fed on time, go on plenty of walks, and are never alone for long periods of time. I work from home, so I will always be available throughout the week to take care of your pet. My break time is very flexible and I can give your pet multiple walks a day. Updates and pictures will be provided if requested. Constant love and play time guaranteed. I keep any hazards out of reach. I have a DOE L clearance. Before sitting, I confirm with the parent any safety issues and rules that must be complied. I live in a 1 bedroom/1bathroom apartment, it is always closed and locked so there is no risk of pet running away. There is an enclosed dog park in the apartment complex, that with parents permission we will go and play in.
“Aisa and her mom were an amazing team! They took great care of Noodle and kept me updated throughout the entire trip, which really helped keep me calm—especially since it was my first time leaving him. I truly felt like I made the right choice choosing them. Anytime I felt a bit anxious, they were quick to respond and reassure me with updates and messages. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely rebook with them again!”
About: I’ve been walking 2 of my friends dogs for almost 5 years for free and I love it! Now that I have more time I would love fill it up by meeting new dogs! I have a very flexible schedule other than 2 days out of the week! So we can communicate and see if we can set something up I follow instructions to a T!!! I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own. I’m looking to give what you ask for from me, nothing less!
About: Since I was a child I’ve always loved all types of animals furry, non furry, big or small, doesn’t matter. I’ve always valued the love and patience each animal brings with them. That’s why I believe one of the most important things is providing your baby with a safe and comfortable place when you’re gone. 🥰🤗 I can ensure that your baby is family. I’m currently a student with lots of free time on my hands, this allows me to do what I love while following my desired career path. I also get to help owners feel safe and confident that their baby is being cared for properly I have a fenced yard, and a gated front door to ensure the safety of your pet! I have 3 other dogs to keep your dog company, and I can easily crate your pet incase of an emergency. We have fire blankets, and a closed in space to prevent any incidents, as well as an evacuation route in case of an emergency.
About: We are Carlos and Liliana, a married couple with a lifelong connection to pets. We both grew up on family farms, surrounded by dogs, cats, horses and other animals, so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. Our beloved dog, Chispita, was part of our family for 14 years, giving us experience caring for a dog throughout the different stages of her life. We have also regularly cared for our children’s cats in New York and New Orleans, including administering daily medication when needed. More recently, through house and pet sitting, we have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and routines, including a household with two Huskies and four cats for three weeks. We understand that every pet is different and take the time to follow their established feeding, walking, medication and companionship routines carefully. We are both architects and university professors, responsible, organized and attentive to detail. When caring for pets in their own home, we also treat the home with the same care and respect we give our own. We are currently in a flexible stage of our professional lives, which gives us plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in our care. Since we are a couple, we can coordinate our schedules so pets receive plenty of companionship and are rarely left alone for long periods. We carefully follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in their own home, our priority is to maintain the environment and routine they already know. We carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors, gates, and any special needs. We are attentive to changes in behavior and keep owners informed while they are away. As experienced HomeExchange, Airbnb, and TrustedHousesitters users, we are also very respectful of our clients’ homes, privacy, and belongings.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole childhood, and have been on rover for over 7 years. I know the basic training techniques and I’m comfortable with administering medications when necessary! I’m a freelance tailor so I have a lot of free time to spend with dogs I’m caring for. My schedule is incredibly flexible as I have no set schedule and spend majority of my week at home. I live west kendall, miami FL. There are many great parks nearby where I love to take the dogs so that they can run around.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From fostering neonatal puppies and kittens that needed bottle feeding, to helping senior pets feel comfortable and loved. I’ve handled it all with patience and compassion. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs, cats, birds , and even a guinea pig! Each one teaching me something new about love and responsibility. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I don’t just provide care, I provide comfort, affection, and attention to detail so every animal feels safe, happy, and loved. Your pets deserve someone who will treat them like family, and that’s exactly what I’ll do. 🐾❤️ Since I work from home, I’m able to spend all day with my pets and give them plenty of attention. I start the mornings with potty breaks and breakfast, then go for a nice midday walk around 1–3pm. In the evenings, I set aside time for play and dinner around 6pm. I have flexibility throughout the day to take dogs on walks, to the park, or just enjoy some cuddle time at home. 🐾 I live in a house with a big backyard where dogs can safely play and get fresh air while I supervise. I also make sure to take pets on daily walks for exercise and stimulation. In my home, pets get plenty of love, attention, and playtime with my own animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely , whether that’s feeding, walking, or crate training. So their pet feels comfortable and cared for just like they would with their owners. ☺️
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.

“I can’t say great enough things about Arienna. My dog absolutely loved her and she sent me tons of pictures while I was away. I would trust her any day with my pet and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.”
“Samantha came and loved on the dogs wonderfully! In fact one of my dogs still seems sad that she is no longer spoiling him rotten. I was able to go on a trip without any worries, knowing she was there to love on them. When I returned from the trip, after hearing all the stories of time spent with my dogs I knew Samantha really got to know all of my dogs personalities and loved them well.”
“Katelyn did a great job watching my senior dog, cat and house! The animals gave her a big paws up. And there was lots of communication and plenty of pictures all weekend. She also kept the house quite clean. Highly recommend!”
“Autumn is amazing! She has done a great job with our senior husky (despite a few accidents that needed cleaning up). Our dog is on a couple of medications and she has managed that well. She has had excellent communication with us and she goes above and beyond taking care of our home!”
About: I have 9 years of experience caring for animals, starting when I got my first dog at 7. I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life, and I truly enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

About: I currently have two dogs whom I call my children! And also babysat cats for friends! I’m patient caring, and pay attention at all times! Before work I’m always up at 4 am to ensure time for my dogs to walk, eat, and spend time with each other before I leave. I always make sure there is plenty of love shown at all times. One of my dogs will try to eat his brothers food, so I stand guard until they are done eating. I brush their teeth and hair daily. I use treats as reward for good behavior, but I spoil with healthy treats.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kendale Lakes
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Deborah was absolutely wonderful, caring, responsible, and attentive to every detail. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in such loving and capable hands while we were away. The care, patience, and genuine affection shown to our dogs meant so much to us.
Alexa was absolutely amazing with my dog, Milo. He has special needs and requires extra care, including bladder expressions and a very specific routine. She was incredibly attentive, compassionate, and communicative throughout his stay. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his well-being and treated him like one of her own. I came home to a happy, comfortable pup and even appreciated all the thoughtful details and updates she provided along the way. Finding someone you can truly trust with a special-needs pet is rare. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and dependable sitter!
First time using Tiffany for pet sitting and she was absolutely amazing with Stormy and went above and beyond in every way. She came over throughout the day to feed him, walk him, and spend real time with him…not just check in quickly and leave. She even took him out with her for a bit to keep him busy and give him extra attention outside of his regular walks, which meant so much to me. She sent updates all day, gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear Stormy was comfortable, cared for, and in great hands. I really appreciated the extra time, attention, and communication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.
Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!
Aisa and her mom were an amazing team! They took great care of Noodle and kept me updated throughout the entire trip, which really helped keep me calm—especially since it was my first time leaving him. I truly felt like I made the right choice choosing them. Anytime I felt a bit anxious, they were quick to respond and reassure me with updates and messages. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely rebook with them again!
Stephanie took great care of our girl Raven (German shepherd/belgian malinois mix for reference on the energy level if you are looking for that). We got an update for everything and she sent a ton of photos which we appreciated greatly. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone and everyone. She can handle high energy breeds (and I’m sure low energy breeds). Any care instructions we left were followed meticulously! And my girl absolutely loved snuggling up to her ❤️
This is the second time she’s helped us out and it honestly feels amazing leaving our dogs with someone we trust completely. We never worry about them for a second. If anything, I almost feel guilty because we trust her so much that we literally forget we even own dogs… at least I do 😂 She’s the best and we couldn’t recommend her more.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kendale Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kendale Lakes is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 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.
As of November 2026, there are 3,035 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kendale Lakes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Kendale Lakes 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 Kendale Lakes 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.
Tip: 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 Kendale Lakes 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
