Dedicated Dog Care Professional

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.

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.

I have a 16-year-old diabetic Weimaraner and a five-year-old Akita. David took care of both of them for a week while I was traveling. My biggest concern was finding someone who would be patient and caring enough to look after my older dog. David was extremely compassionate, loving, and patient with her and took great care of both dogs. He responded to all my messages and inquiries quickly. I would highly recommend him and definitely plan on using his services in the future.

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!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
