“Allison was excellent with our cat Tonmtonm while we were away for 10 days. She was prompt with check ins and thorough with her assessments. We loved getting daily photo and video updates and knew our furry son was in great, caring hands!”

About: I am an animal lover and every summer I spent has been with all different types of animals from all over the world from spider monkeys in the amazon to sea lions and marine iguanas in the Galapagos to bull sharks in Fiji. My true passion is dogs and caring for them because they are so lovable and fun to play with. I’m available all year long and available at anytime. I will care for your pet like he or she is my own. My schedule is currently studying for the LSAT to prepare for law school applications this coming fall.I am mostly in the library and at home as well as visiting my grandfather in Mystic Pointe every week. I pray in the morning, work out right after and then study, work and read throughout the day. I have a French bulldog at home who is only friendly out of the home so I will only be able to provide house sitting services and any and all dog walking services :). I hope this is helpful.

About: I have had a multitude of pets my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages as well as cats! I work on weekdays at Zoo Miami 9-5 but am otherwise available and eager to care for your pets at the times that you prefer. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and understand the trust you are putting into my hands when you hire me. I am overly cautious when it comes to walking my dog, Cara, and when going in and out of my house to keep my cats from escaping. I would treat your home and pets as if they are my own.
“Jamilly was a great sitter— reliable, and made sure my kitties were taken care of and fed. Came home to them being happy and a squeaky clean home. Jamilly will go above and beyond for your fur babies. Highly recommend!”

“Jeanette is amazing!! She took such great care of our diabetic cat with visits twice a day to give him his insulin shots, change the litter box and give him much needed love and attention while his parents were away on vacation. I can not recommend her highly enough! It’s so comforting knowing that we have a reliable sitter that we can count on when we need it. Thank you Jeanette!”

About: I've been pet-sitting for over half of my life - starting at age 10 up until now. I discovered my passion for pet-sitting when I was about eight years old. My journey began as a pet-sitter for a family friend's dog who would eventually be given to me and become my best friend for 10 years. With one dog at home, I was eager to take care of more. Through word of mouth, I had garnered an impressive amount of clients . I have experience handling animals from fish to horses and everything in between. I've yet to meet an animal that I didn't connect with and I've yet to meet a dissatisfied owner. Most owners will leave me with, "You're the only person that I trust to take care of my animals." I take pride in my work as a pet-sitter and to me, that's the greatest testament to how much I care about each and every pet that I take care of. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, as it’s my full-time job alongside being a student. I carefully balance my study schedule with pet care visits, ensuring that each pet receives the attention they need—whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just companionship. I schedule visits during breaks in my day to make sure I’m meeting the pets’ needs while staying on top of my coursework. With pet sitting as my main focus outside of school, I’m able to provide personalized care and ensure each pet feels loved while their owners are away. Whether in my home or a client's home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment for the pet. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routine. At a client’s home, I respect their space while sticking to the pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule. I ensure each pet feels secure, loved, and well-cared for, whether it's keeping them company, following special instructions, or just offering some extra attention to make them feel at ease.
About: Growing up with a fur baby since I was 5 years old, I became a sister but also a mother. I loved and cared for my dog immensely and understand how closely we keep our unique animals to heart. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I appreciate all dog breeds and would love to meet each lovely personality! I recently moved from Buffalo to Aventura after obtaining my Physician Assistant degree and would love to care for some animals while I search for a job. Once obtaining a job, I plan on continuing animal care because it gives me a break from the hard things in life. I bring a calm, happy, energy that hopefully makes any pet happy. When staying at a client’s house or at my own, I’m open to feeding, playing, walking, and other requests.

I follow your pet’s routine closely and keep their environment as consistent and comforting as possible while you’re away.

I do not provide continuous, 24-hour presence in the home on weekdays due to work commitments.

It only takes a few minutes and helps me give your pet the best, safest care possible. 💚 I’ll send the link after we connect! Weekday evenings and weekends available for your pets ❤️ 6 pm -12 am during the week. All hours of the weekend. Walking can be scheduled if needed. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain routines, and always respect your space and privacy.

“Giana was amazing! We are so grateful she was able to accommodate our booking last minute and a quick meet and greet within a few hours of booking. She kept their routine which is so important to us and them. Milo and Mia were in good hands this weekend. :) we are def going to keep Giana in mind for future bookings.”

“We can’t say enough about the level of care that Stephanie provides for us. This is the second time we’ve booked her and everything was perfect. She is very punctual and although they were just check-in visits, she went beyond just feeding & watering. We will absolutely work with her in the future and we highly recommend her services!”

“Eleana was absolutely amazing in caring for our little Axel! She was super sweet and amazing at staying in communication with us! She made sure we didn’t miss our little guy at all by sending us photos and videos of his happiness. We will definitely have him have a sleep over again ☺️”

About: Animals are my favorite thing in the world! Growing up we always had pets and I currently have 5 of my own. Professionally I have worked with a range of breeds from Rottweilers to chihuahuas. I understand the worries of most pet parents when choosing a sitter or walker. Safety and comfort are my top priority and I promise to take care of your pups as if they're my own. Look forward to meeting your pet soon! I currently work a job with flexible hours and am often left with free time. The only set schedule I have is for my online classes at Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am to 12 pm. But I can attend from anywhere as long as I have WiFi. I’ll keep your pup company in your home and provide play and potty breaks regularly. If you have a preference for anything just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions to make it as comfortable for you and your pet. I also promise to update you regularly with pictures and videos if you’d like! For boarding I have a fenced in yard and backyard cameras so I’m always able to monitor your fur baby. But I promise never to leave your pup unattended as they do their business. I also have 2 fur babies of my own so they’ll never be lonely. My pup Maisie just turned a year old and loves having furry friends to play with! While my Tilly is older and tends to keep to herself to snooze all day.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and hands-on background in professional animal care. I’ve loved animals from a young age and have personally trained and cared for my own dogs. At 15, I began working with an adoption center, where I helped cats get adopted by cleaning kennels and litter boxes, feeding them, and assisting with grooming. At 19, I worked at VCA Animal Hospital as a kennel technician, gaining valuable veterinary experience. My responsibilities included cleaning and sanitizing kennels, walking and bathing dogs, clipping nails, administering medications, and assisting veterinarians with safely handling dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, including puppies who need basic training and seniors who require extra patience and care. My experience allows me to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. I am a full time audio engineer, I work with musicians and have a very flexible schedule. Most of my work can be done at home. This gives me aloft of free time to care for your pet. I live in an efficiency with a gated back yard. I live with my girlfriend who also works from home. We are full time attentive and hands on pet caregivers. We have isolated room for pets that need to be isolated. We have a car so we can also take your pet to the vet if they have appointments.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest
Jess is such a sweet bubbly person and really does enjoy caring for your pets. She made sure all three of my cats were all cared for. She cleaned up after them sent me lots of photos. She even got my super shy cat to come out of his shell which means the world to me. I’m really looking forward to booking her again when I’m out of town. I highly recommend you won’t be disappointed!!

Sara took the time to always make everything as clean and tidy as I want my pet to have. He’s not very sociable (18yo Cat) so she had to go hunting for him and took a picture every day. That made me feel like he was OK, eating and using the litter box. Thank you, Sara! Until next time (I’ve used Sara’s services before) as I definitely recommend her for taking good care of your beloved pets.

Amazing experience as always. Andrea is so patient and kind with our cats. We always know they are safe and loved when we’re away. She provides the very best care during each drop-in visit and her service never feels rushed. Also very detail oriented. Happy repeat customer. ❤️

Jenni was great with my 4 kitties! Although 3 out of the 4 of them hid most of the time, she did a good job at making them feel comfortable with her presence. She followed all of my instructions and even went the extra mile to sweep up litter from the litterboxes. I'm so glad I found someone who knows what they're doing and really cares about it too! Will definitely book again :)

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
