About: 20 years experience with dogs. Had them throughout childhood. Have had several roommates with dogs. Worked as a walker and sitter for a company in Chicago for 3 years. Experience training multiple puppies and living with/taking care of large breed and active breed dogs I’m currently working a remote job from home so pet care can be fit into my daily schedule quite easily whether it be walking or boarding.

About: Hello! My name is Cristina :) I’m a life long pet lover who currently has a pet snake, while living with my mom and her 3 French Bulldogs. Growing up, I always had a pet, or three hehe. I’ve cared for over 15 cats in my lifetime and come from a long line of crazy cat ladies. Ive also had a fair share of dogs in my life. Growing up I had a quirky schnauzer and a very intelligent German Shepard. More recently, I cared for my soul dog, a very stubborn but extremely loving Rottweiler. I’m also very familiar with the temperament of Dachshunds because my father has cared for two. This experience has left me with loads of knowledge and experience on how to handle high-energy, reactive, and even elder dogs. All in all, I’ve become familiar in various types of dog breeds and I’ve found one thing to be certain. They all need love and play time. When you’re a bit too busy, or are going out of town for whatever reason I hope to be the eyes, ears, and scritches your little fur-ball needs when you’re away. Let’s discuss further how I can help you your little baby in my messages! :D Currently, I go to school, and do have a part time job. However, I do not take night shifts at my job unless absolutely necessary, so I am able to visit anytime before 8am after 5pm on most days. However this is subject to change. Please contact me for further information. Although I do not take home visits, I am very familiar with crate training and the importance of a leash. I will NEVER walk your pet without a leash, and know how slick some dogs and cats can be when entering and exiting a home. I also believe in the importance of keeping a structured and routine diet, so I will NEVER feed your pet anything you don’t supply, or deem safe. Please contact me so we can further discuss your pets needs, and what you do to keep them safe :)

About: Hi there! As to experience with dogs, I have brought all three of our family dogs home- my chihuahua Blueberry, my Maltipoo Teddy who I taught how to do obstacle courses such as jump through hoops, run through poles, go through tunnels, ect. And lastly, I got my very own miniature Aussiedoodle puppy this past year named Kova who’s about 11 months old now. I have 4 years of experience dog sitting my family, friends, and people on Nextdoor throughout all 4 years of high school from tiny to large dogs. I can also help teach them tricks! I live in an apartment close to University of Miami campus where I live with a few other girls and we have my puppy & my roomates Pomeranian living with us. I’m looking to pet sit, do walks, and check in’s since I love animals and have a bit more free time this year! I also have a car so I am able to drive to pickup and drop off! I promise I will treat your furry friends like my own with the utmost care & love! I’m currently a Junior at the University of Miami. My only priorities are my classes but besides my class time, I am completely available to take care of your pups! Due to my class schedule: • I am available Monday anytime besides 3:30-5pm. • I am available Tuesday anytime besides 2pm-6:30pm. • I am available Wednesday anytime besides 2pm-8pm. • I am available Thursday anytime besides 2pm-3:30pm and 5pm-9pm. • I am completely available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but contact me 3 days in advance for weekends to make sure I am completely available. I live in a townhouse style apartment with 4 other super sweet girls and we have 2 pups living with us to keep your dog company! I have my own puppy Kova who is a miniature Aussiedoodle girl and we have a miniature Pomeranian boy named Gio. We don’t have much of a backyard but I walk my own puppy about 4x a day through the grassy front yard and to the dog park in our complex. There are also multiple parks around the area that I love to take her to that I can walk your dog at as well! My pup no longer needs her crate but I have a crate that I can set up ahead of time if needed!

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.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life currently have 4 in living at home with my parents. We have a Doberman, Malshi, Golden Doodle, and a Great Dane. Growing up with multiple dogs since I was young gave me the opportunity to learn how to care for dogs of all ages and train them as well. I am currently away from home and missing my dogs would love to help out and spend time with some pups. I do not have a super busy schedule and am looking to get some extra movement in and what better way to do that then with a furry friend! I have my own form of transportation as well! I would walk, feed, and bath dogs as needed. I would also play with them and provide enrichment. I have friends with dogs that go to the dog park and walk dogs on the app as well that we can set up trips with

“I highly recommend Emily! I have 2 cats and was away for a week. Emily was consistent, thorough and did a fantastic job! Anytime she had a question she contacted me and left everything in good order. I really appreciate the extra care she took to make sure my cats were well taken care of and there wasn't a mess when I got back. I will absolutely be calling on her again.”

About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of dogs. I’ve been pulled on the leash by a high energy, chocolate lab, and taken a day nap on the couch with a frenchie. Before my yorkie passed at age 15, I would change her diaper and give medication. Whatever your dog needs, I can provide! I have my cat baby, Remy, at home. He was a rescue from the shelter and is an only child. Cats are fiercely independent and have strong personalities. I know what’s it’s like to have a cat fall asleep on my chest, but also nip at me when giving a nail trim. Whether you just need someone to clean the litter or some company for your cats, I can do it all! I understand each pet has their own routine and I can follow it precisely. Let’s makes sure they’re well taken care of when you’re gone. I give great communication and pictures, so you’re never worrying. I know the heartbreak of leaving your pet behind, it’s never easy. Let me help relieve you of that burden. Currently I am working part-time in the evenings. Typically it is just 3 to four nights a week. Mornings are completely open and early afternoon. I can do late night after my shift as well, so your pet won’t be alone more than 8 hours. I understand the worries with having a stranger come into your home. Please know I treat the space with respect, you will never know I was even there! My priority is care for your pet.

About: Hey, I know choosing someone to watch your fur-babies can be very hard as you always want someone that will take good care of them. I’m here to help. Well, a little about me is that I have two furbabies myself, a turtle and a hedgehog so I understand how important it is to find someone to truly take care of them and treat them well. I love dogs and all animals really! I’m here to help, as I eventually want to become a vet tech! If you choose me to take care of your fur-babies I can promise to dedicate my time to playing and taking care of them. As for previous experience I used to regularly volunteer at the shelter and take care of animals for family and friends. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend.💗 I am currently taking some online classes at home and I would be available all week to play, walk and take care of your babies! Personally I have two doggos, one (mini schnauzer) and an American bulldog. Both are super good girls and they are free roaming the house most of the time, however they are crated when need be.

About: Since I was 18, I've dedicated my life to rescuing and rehoming dogs. With over 100 successful adoptions, I've cared for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior companions—providing them with medical care, rehabilitation, and, most importantly, love. This hands-on experience means I understand the needs of each animal, whether it's administering medication, handling special diets, or just giving them the attention they crave. But my love for animals doesn’t stop at dogs; I’m also a cat enthusiast. I truly understand and appreciate their unique personalities, from the independent to the affectionate. Whether it's playing with kittens or giving a senior cat some peace and quiet, I know how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. With me, your pets are not just another booking—they’re family. My years of experience, genuine love for animals, and commitment to their well-being set me apart. Your pets will be in loving, capable hands. I have a flexible schedule, offering availability for all types of pet care needs, whether it's during the week or on weekends. I'm always ready to accommodate your pet’s routine, but I prioritize their safety, especially during hot weather. On warmer days, I avoid walking dogs during peak heat hours to prevent heatstroke and protect their paws from hot pavement. Instead, I focus on indoor activities and shorter walks during cooler times. Rest assured, your pet’s well-being always comes first, and I’m here to provide the care they need, whenever they need it. When caring for pets in my home, my only requirement is that they get along with cats. I have a very friendly cat who loves the company of other animals, so it's important that any pets staying with us are comfortable with felines and free from diseases like feline AIDS. I live in an apartment, but it's perfectly set up for pets. We’re right next to the Noma Dog Park, so your dog will enjoy frequent walks and playtime in a safe, spacious area. Plus, my building even has a dog spa, ensuring your furry friend can relax and be pampered as needed. If your pet is a cat, I understand the importance of giving them their space and earning their trust. I’m patient and gentle, knowing that each cat has its own pace when it comes to warming up to new people. However, once that bond is established, I love engaging with them in playtime because I know how crucial it is for their physical and mental well-being. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain your established routines to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to their needs, whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing plenty of play and exercise. Your pets will receive the same level of care, attention, and affection as they would at home. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, secure, and happy, whether they're staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

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 Key Biscayne 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!

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.

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 .

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.
