“Our experience was wonderful! She took great care of our cats and kept us updated with photos and messages after every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and spent quality time with them, not just the basics. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and everything was just as we left it. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
About: Born and raised on small farm in Puerto Rico where my family always took in stray dogs (every dog has a story:D) Looking to get a daily fix of dog love as I start my PhD this year! MD-PhD student with flexible schedule. Free after 5pm. Free on weekends at all times. Happy to help those who work evenings and overnights! I will only be available on weekdays -midday- if located walking distance from UHealth/Jackson Memorial Hospital. I love to get out to run or walk every day to refresh the soul. I believe in consistency to make the experience best for your pet while building trust with owners over time. Happy to form a long-term walking schedule as needed.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, cats, a bird, and even a bunny, so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets. I have two years of experience caring for my neighbors’ cats while they were away, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication, and spending time playing with them. I’ve also had my own cat for the past four years, and at one point I had four cats, including a senior cat who was blind, so I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I know cats often require a different approach than dogs, and I’m happy to go at their pace to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience giving daily medication to my family’s dog and regularly walk my parents’ dogs whenever I’m home. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own I recently graduated from the University of Miami, so my schedule is very flexible while I search for a full-time position. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate my availability in advance and make sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and any special requests. I have experience caring for senior pets and administering medication, and I’ve stayed calm during an unexpected medical emergency while caring for my mom’s dog by getting her to the vet right away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know they’re safe and happy.
About: I've looked after dogs of neighbors in my childhood and am extremely comfortable taking them on walks and taking care of their needs in general. I am currently a medical student on summer break so I am typically available at any times in a given day. My weekends are also generally free and I am able to dedicate an hour a day to walking/drop-in visits. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and understand my role in accessing only the tools I need to care for your pet.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats through helping friends, neighbors, and family members with walking, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and overnight care. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently attend the University of Miami, but all of my classes are online so I have completely open availability.

I’m responsible, clean, and communicative, and I will always provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring medication and extra attention.

“I highly recommend Tiffany She is incredibly sweet, very responsible, and has excellent communication. She is always punctual and does her job with so much care and professionalism. She has taken care of my dog several times (about five), helping with her medication and spending time with her, and every time the service has been outstanding. She gives me great peace of mind, and I will definitely continue using her services. 100% recommended”
“Silvia is amazing!! Both of my cats loved her right from the first time they met her (and one of them is very shy and doesn’t usually engage much with new people). Silvia is super communicative and shared updates and photos for each check-in visit. It’s clear she absolutely LOVES animals, and I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I am incredibly reliable and dedicate myself to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and fully entertained while you are away. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or just extra belly rubs, your furry family member will be in great hands! As a practicing therapist, my schedule allows me to offer drop-in visits several times throughout the day between my sessions. While I can easily accommodate multiple check-ins to feed, walk, and play with your pets, my exact drop-in times are structured around my daily client appointments. I will always ensure your pets get high-quality, reliable care and plenty of love during our visits! I offer drop-in visits exclusively in your home, ensuring your pets remain comfortable in their own familiar environment while I deeply respect your personal space. As a therapist and a gentle pet parent, I practice positive reinforcement and never use harsh discipline; instead, I focus on patience, calming energy, and positive redirection. I do not care for outside pets in my own home to ensure a safe, focused environment for all.
“Teddy was great with communication and super understanding of what I needed (and my pup needed). She was great with my high energy puppy who needs a lot of attention. I highly recommend her services!”
“Makayla has been really helpful and understanding with Mili. We had to hire her for mid day visits during the time I had to be away from the country for more than two months. Mili wasn’t coping very well with it as she was being left alone in the house for prolonged hours! Makayla managed her energy and took care of her during her visits and was very understanding and flexible with everything. She once had to deal with the mess caused my mili tearing up a stuffed toy. She picked it all up and let us know that one part of the toy was missing which helped us take action on time and make sure my pup was safe. I really appreciate her being proactive in difficult situations and would definitely trust her and recommend her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Miami
We had such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of my sweet Bella. She was incredibly patient, loving, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby. Thank you so much! ❤️🐾
Sofi was a fantastic sitter for my older dog Xolo. She accepted the booking last minute and was very accommodating. She was always on time, reliable and sent many cute pics of Xolo. You could tell that she genuinely cared about his wellbeing and happiness. I would definitely re book her
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Erin was professional from the moment we first reached out, and that same care continued throughout. She took incredible care of our French Bulldog, Winston, while we were away, followed all of our instructions closely, and sent lots of photos and detailed update messages from each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her job seriously. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter.
Charlie was so great with Tina. Reliable care and great updates. She came by prior to meet us and grab a fob so she could access the building. My return flight was delayed and she even accommodated me by coming the next morning for another visit. Would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.
Jennalynn was awesome with Pepper. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience with rescue dogs which is hard to find. I have a fearful reactive dog I recently adopted, so I had to give her 100 details about her background. Her communication to come up with an intro plan made things so much easier. I highly recommend Jennalynn for all dog needs!
Luna was in such great hands 🤍 She was incredibly caring, attentive, and loving with her. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treated Luna like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was being looked after by someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!
Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.
We are so grateful for the amazing care Aryssa gave Chimmy while we were away for the week. We especially appreciated the attention she gave to her anxiety and how patient, loving, and attentive she was with her. The regular updates and photos meant so much to us and truly helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Chimmy was in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Aryssa with her again. Thank you for everything!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Miami 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
