Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small apartment in South Beach, so I do not have the space to host animals here. I also find, especially with initial visits, pets are most comfortable in their regular environments. I know it is more risk to have a stranger in your house, but I am happy to build our relationship over time to earn your trust.

Information David c. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is not fixed, please let me know so I can watch them appropriately if they are brought to a park. If your dog is not comfortable with other dogs and you live in a building with elevators, we need to be discuss your process on entering/leaving the building. I highly encourage an initial meet-and-greet before watching your dog without you present. I find this is crucial in building that initial level of comfortability for everyone involved. We will also handle any necessary information within that initial greeting and proceed from there!

A typical day

Typical days will vary on your preferences and the dog’s energy levels. Walks can include short or long distances, visiting dog parks, or favorite neighborhood areas. I love trying to help your dog make friends with other pups by properly socializing. Every dog is different, so I am happy to listen to ensure your pet gets what they need and enjoy.

Pet care experience

I started my Miami Rover career during December of 2023. Basil, the black and white cockapoo in my photos, passed after 15 years. I was not able to get another dog at the time, and Rover gave me the opportunity to still care for and be around animals. I have over 12 years experience working with other individual’s pets. Throughout my adolescence, I cared for my neighbor’s pets, and have continued to work with animals until today in Miami Beach. I am well trained with all dog breeds, large or small, and have ample experience with elderly dog care. I am comfortable with administering pills, preparing special foods, giving needles, doggy diapers etc. I am also young and fit and can run your puppies till they are exhausted! Trust is the most important virtue a dog sitter can provide. You need to trust that the sitter will not only take care of your dog properly, but respect your home when you are away. I will do everything in my power to make you feel comfortable when you are gone. Also the best review a sitter can get is when your dog is thrilled to see them. After a few days, I can assure you that your dog will have a new friend that they are excited to see each time.
