About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember and have been helping take care of them since I was around 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime and attention to older dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, because they truly are family. I’ll always treat your dog with the same love I would give my own. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I recently moved from Germany to Miami to be a student at Miami Dade College, which gives me a lot of flexibility! I can plan my day around your and your dogs schedules. I‘m new to this app but not new to Dog sitting! Xx I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and have also cared for many dogs through house sitting in my hometown in Germany. I’m comfortable with dogs of all kinds and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs.

“Rachel is amazing! I left my two kitties with her for 2 weeks + an extra last minute week. She is always ready to jump in and help in order to make you feel at ease while gone. Truly a 10/10 experience, not only did I love her but so did my very shy kitties. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone who wants someone loving and responsible to take care of their furry babies while away!”

“Chloe was great with my cat- he requires a lot of medicine but she had no trouble giving it to him and also sent lots of cute pictures. One of the medicines is really sticky and most sitters get it all over his face and don’t clean it up but he was perfectly clean when i got back! Would definitely rebook!”

About: Growing up in a dog-loving family in Colombia, I've been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old. My lifelong experience with a variety of dogs has given me a deep understanding and love for our furry friends. I'm particularly skilled at creating a nurturing environment for dogs, whether they are energetic puppies or need special senior care. With my work-from-home lifestyle and frequent walk breaks, I ensure that every dog in my care enjoys plenty of attention, exercise, and love Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. Working from home most days allows me the flexibility to give constant care and attention to dogs. I’m happy to dog sit and go to your home. I am very affectionate and caring, love going on walks as well. Happy to adjust to the different needs

About: I’m a true dog lover and have always had a special place in my heart for animals. Back in Uruguay, I had five dogs, so caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I chose Rover as my side hustle because I believe there is something genuinely special about getting outside, going for a walk, playing, giving cuddles, and simply keeping a pet company. And knowing that I’m helping both pets and their humans feel a little less stressed makes it even better :) Life moves so fast, especially here, and I believe pets deserve love, attention, patience, and someone who genuinely enjoys being around them. Over the last few years, I’ve had plenty of experience caring for other people’s pets, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care. I’m very active and love going on walks and adventures with dogs who have lots of energy. But I’m just as happy spending a quiet afternoon at home with a calmer pup, following their routine, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I love getting to know them. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to give them the attention they deserve. I know how personal it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m caring, responsible, patient, and attentive to instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet with the same love and care I would want someone to give my own. My goal is simple: for your pup to feel happy, safe, loved, and well cared for, and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away 🐶🤍 Thank you for checking out my profile! I’d genuinely love the opportunity to meet you and your pup 🐾 For me, caring for someone’s pet starts with creating a sense of trust and peace of mind. I know how much it means to leave your dog with someone you can rely on, so I am always punctual, attentive and consistent with whatever routine or instructions you leave me. I’m also happy to communicate and keep you updated along the way, because I want you to feel just as comfortable as your pup does. Every dog and every family is different, and I’m always willing to adapt to what works best for you and your pet. At the end of the day, I’m here because I genuinely love animals and enjoy taking care of them. I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend and hopefully become someone you can count on whenever they need a little extra love and attention! 🐾 My schedule ⏰ I have plenty of time to play, walk, and care for your pup throughout the day. I’m available for boarding during the week and on weekends, including early mornings and last-minute bookings, just reach out! I’ll do my best to be there for you and your floofy when you need it most. 💕 About my home 🏡 I live in a cozy apartment with a fenced balcony. Just across the street is the river, where I love to go for walks. And yes, dogs are totally welcome on the couch for cuddles, naps, or just hanging out. This is a dog loving home where your furry friend will feel safe, loved, and part of the pack 💕

About: I’ve watched and taken care and had pets of my own since I was a young girl. My family own 10 dogs in total through out the whole entire family. Our group chats are filled with everyone constantly sending pics of their animals. Pet care is everyday for me. I own a Sphynx cat and pit lab boxer mix that I tend to every day. Feed , walk and entertain with my own silliness. I take care of my pets by always keeping an eye on them. Making sure they aren’t getting into anything. If they seem bored I’ll take them outside or give them a snack.

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m very intuitive with animals—I quickly pick up on their needs, moods, and personalities. I’ve cared for both playful puppies and sweet seniors, always adapting to their pace and comfort. I also bring calm energy, lots of love, and a silly sense of humor that pets seem to love! It fits perfectly into my schedule on a daily basis. It can be a great side job for me that I will highly enjoy, since I love interacting with animals. I play with them. I feed them well. Also, I take them to the park to play and remain active as well as interact with them.

About: Hi there! I’m Brittany 😊🐾 While I’m newer to offering services on Rover, caring for dogs has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always loved being around dogs and have cared for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m also an avid animal shelter volunteer and find myself at my local shelter at least twice a week. I genuinely love spending time with the dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. Through this, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and backgrounds—including dogs who may be shy, nervous, excitable, or still learning to trust people. I’m comfortable meeting each dog where they are and adapting to their individual needs. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a service, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take a lot of pride in. From tiny dogs to large breeds, energetic puppies to dogs who need a little extra patience, I understand that every dog is different. Some dogs immediately want belly rubs and playtime, while others need space, time, and someone who knows how to read their body language. I take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. 🤎 I use positive reinforcement and always pay attention to a dog’s signals. I have experience being around shelter dogs, including dogs who may have had difficult pasts or need extra patience while adjusting to new people and environments. I respect their boundaries and never force interaction when a dog is feeling nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, belly rubs, or simply relaxing nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. As a veteran, reliability, communication, and responsibility are incredibly important to me. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing exactly how your furry family member is doing. Because I travel from time to time, I don’t currently have a dog of my own, but being around dogs has always been something I enjoy. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply lounging around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a veteran, I understand how important trust, communication, and reliability are. I’ll treat your pet like family, follow their routine closely, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love staying active and spending time outside. My schedule allows me flexibility throughout the week for walks, check ins, playtime, and quality care. Because I travel occasionally, I keep my calendar updated regularly so pet parents always know my availability. When I’m caring for your dog, I prioritize giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and updates while you’re away 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, energy level, and individual needs so they feel comfortable while in my care. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and updates for owners. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, routines, medications, and any special instructions to help your dog feel right at home.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’m comfortable handling both small and large dogs, including those that require extra patience or attention. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure dogs get enough exercise and care. I understand the importance of following routines, giving medications if needed, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment.My goal is always to treat every dog like family and provide reliable, loving care that owners can trust. Im currently working a full time job int he mornings, that means I'll typically be available for services after 3 p.m. everyday, with the only exception being Wednesday which I have open availability I live in a small apartment, but I do ensure having everything in order so that way there's nothing that can harm a dog or cat while doing in home caring

About: We absolutely love being pet parents! 🐾 Some of our favorite days are spent taking our dog, Charlie, on long walks and adventures, and we’re just as happy at home cuddling with our cat, Daniel. David and I genuinely love having animals around, and we especially love giving Charlie and Daniel the chance to make new furry friends! We both work remotely, so we’re home and around throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, company, walks, playtime, and cuddles. David also spent time volunteering at a dog shelter, where he gained experience caring for and spending time with dogs of different personalities and backgrounds. We know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet, and we’re responsible, attentive pet parents who will treat yours like one of our own. We’d truly be honored to care for your pet and welcome them into our little family! ❤️ David and I both work remotely, so pet care naturally fits into our daily routine! We’re home throughout the day and already structure our days around walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention for our own pets. Having flexible schedules also makes it easy for us to accommodate additional walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day, so your pet will have lots of company while they’re with us. We always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re staying in our home or we’re caring for them in theirs! For boarding and daycare, we’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, potty, and medication routine as closely as possible, with plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. For dog walks, we’ll tailor the pace and length to your dog’s needs, and for cat sitting, we’ll visit your home for feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and of course plenty of affection (if your cat wants it!). We know every pet has their own personality and routine, so we’re always happy to follow any special instructions that help them feel at home.

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.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;

  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Miami with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Miami. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
