“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my puppy! It’s clear you treated them like your own, and I loved getting the updates. My pup came back happy and well-cared for. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Christine took outstanding care of our dog Kai. She sent me a picture and kept me informed about Kai's staying. I will definitely book with her next summer vacation.”
“We are very happy with the excellent care Kaitlyn provided for our dog. We received photos and updates every day and Charlie had the added benefit of being able to interact with her two dogs, which was a positive experience for him. When we arrived to pick Charlie up he seemed very content and happy. Kaitlyn went out of her way to provide great service. We highly recommend her!”

“Hanspeter is an outstanding dog sitter—reliable, caring, and attentive. Our dog felt comfortable right away, and we appreciated the regular updates and photos. He was also very responsive and flexible, adding extra days without hesitation when our plans changed. It’s clear he truly loves animals. Highly recommended!”
About: I grew up in a rural family where being surrounded by animals and nature was simply a way of life. Over the years, I’ve lived in four different cities, often sharing homes with people who had pets—mostly dogs. That’s where my true curiosity and love for animals began to grow. Later, I moved to New York, where I cared for two children and their two dogs. It was during this time that I started to develop hands-on experience with pet care, understanding not just their routines, but also their unique personalities. Four years ago, I moved to Miami and have since cared for a wide range of animals—from an hedgehog (Lord Olivander Gray) to Nala, my own dog, a sweet and fully trained 9-year-old Lab-Pitbull mix. When I met the love of my life, they came as a package: Nala adopted me, and now the three of us are a happy little family. Nala has a best friend named Luna, a Husky mix who stays with us regularly. We've been caring for her for the past four years whenever her human needs a helping hand. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to senior dogs with strict medication schedules. I always tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs and follow the specific instructions of their owners. My approach is rooted in ethics, trust, and respect—for both animals and the people who love them. We’re a family of three: Nala, our dog, my husband Giovanni, and me. I work Monday through Friday, with three days from home, and my husband works 100% remotely. We're also available on weekends. We have a spacious home with a fenced yard. We live in a beautiful community with green areas and safe spaces for walking. Our dog Nala is calm and friendly with other dogs and pets. We also have a whole-house purified water filtration system.
“They watched my boy for the weekend (Thursday-Sunday) and he almost didn’t wanna come home at the end lol. They sent me videos daily and kept an eye on his leg for me (he got into an altercation with a cat and had a little limp). They were great and if need be my boy will definitely be going to them again.”
“Sahia took absolutely amazing care of Dexter. She sent me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and I could tell from every message that he was in the best hands. At his tender age of 16, it's so important he’s not only well looked after but also given lots of love and Sahia did exactly that. I’m incredibly grateful to her for caring for my baby like he was her own.”
“Amazing experience! This family has a lovely home, they were very caring and loving to our dog, we got pictures and videos every day and most importantly she was very happy and acting normal when we picked her up (which wasn’t the case with the previous person we used on Rover). I would 100% leave our dog with this family again, the vibe was great from the get-go and the whole experience was very positive!”
“Francin was very professional. She took care of our Chloe very well for 4 days. She keep us updated with daily videos and pictures. She is very responsive too. I will leave her again at Francin’s house in the future.”
“Excellent excellent excellent- she is amazing, taking care of my dog like her own pet and extra attention. Maria and her family love my dog. Thank you so much!!!! God bless her family”
“Michelle was great with Tyryion and took really good care of him and also sent us frequent pictures and reports of his activities so we had a lot of piece of mind while traveling that he was doing great, highly recommended and we will definitely reach out to her again in the future!!”

About: It is a pleasure for me to care for, love, and exercise young dogs, but the most delicate and loving care that I like the most is caring for older dogs. I love it. I work part-time, so I have all the time in the world to dedicate to the dogs, exercise, swim in the pool if they like I have all the necessary care so that the owners are calm, a large, fenced yard and I have many dogs so that they feel in harmony and can play to the fullest.

Maria A.
“Testimonial for Maria F. Acosta – The Best Pet Sitter Ever! I can't say enough wonderful things about Maria F. Acosta and the care she provided for my dog, Mickey. From the moment they met, it was clear that Maria has a natural gift with animals. She treated Mickey like he was her own—showering him with love, attention, and the same level of care I would give myself. While I was away, I had total peace of mind knowing Mickey was in Maria’s hands. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which truly made all the difference. Not only did she make sure Mickey was well-fed, walked, and played with—she made sure he felt loved. Even now, every time Mickey hears her name or sees her, his tail wags like crazy—he absolutely adores her and remembers her fondly. That kind of bond doesn’t just happen with anyone. Maria is a rare find—trustworthy, compassionate, and completely devoted to the animals she cares for. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Maria is the one. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Mickey. Thank you, Maria, for being the amazing person you are! — Maury”
Yanisel A.
“For many years, with the trust of the world, I leave my dog named Canela with Yanisel when I go on a trip. I know how much love she has for animals in general and the love with which she treats them. Trust me, you won't regret it. Canelita adores her.”

Daisy had such a wonderful stay! I loved getting the daily pictures and updates—it was so sweet to see her enjoying herself. She was treated like part of the family, and it made me so happy knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be rebooking in the future!
Thank you Melissa for a fantastic experience using Rover. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my baby was being taken care of. Melissa was very professional. She sent lots of pictures and videos on a daily basis. I can tell my baby had fun on his own mini vacation! :)
Cody was amazing, I was able to relax on my trip knowing my pet was in good, caring hands. I received daily updates, and she looked happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Cody to anyone needing this service. I look forward to working with him in the future on my next trips. Thank you so much for taking care of Chewie :)
Rebekah and her family have again been incredible hosts to our dog Chewie. They made him feel like he was part of their family with all the love and care they gave him. Rebekah would constantly send me updates with pictures and videos of what Chewie was up to. And that made us feel reassured that we left him with the best family while we are on vacation. Thank you again!
First time using Rover and I am happy I did. Our sitter Josh was awesome in communicating updated of our pups stay. He is very friendly, flexible and understanding to the individual needs of our dog. Josh provided a loving, safe and comfortable environment and tested Loki like his own. I genuinely appreciate your care and kindness. I will definitely be a regular returning customer. Thank you very much for your time and opening your home to our fur baby.
I will simply say that Mariela is the best dog sitter we have been lucky to know. Mariela has taken care of our babies and we couldn’t be happier. We leave in peace knowing that they will be ok when we are away. For example,. She keeps us updated of their daily walks and routine while we are away. Before we left our dogs with Mariela our dogs seemed to come back home stressed and some times even dehydrated but not with Mariela. Thanks to Mariela care they come very happy and not stress at all. My wife and I highly recommend Mariela. You won’t be disappointed. Also, as a special note, one of our dogs is a three legged and we don’t leave him with anyone else since we’ve know Mariela.
