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. I may be newer to Rover, but I bring real-world, hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for dogs to every booking. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust with their care! 🐾🤍 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: Hello everyone! I am excited to meet you and your pets! Home full-time, I’m especially happy to welcome dogs into my cozy, luxury space for some serious pampering. Friends trust me to spoil their pups while they’re away, and I truly love every part of caring for dogs, from playtime to social outings. I’ve been around dogs my whole life—starting with my childhood buddy, a chocolate lab, and now my fluffy Samoyed best friend. I’m here to give your dog all the attention and love they deserve! I am home full-time and available to care for pets every day of the week. You can reach out to me for booking at any time before 11:00 PM the day prior to the desired booking day. I ensure your pets receive attentive care and love, whether it’s for a day or an extended stay. I offer pet care in a clean, and very spacious environment with plenty of room for your dog to relax and lounge comfortably. The quiet atmosphere ensures a tranquil setting for your pet. I have a Samoyed who is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs, providing great companionship during their stay. Since I’m home all day, I keep a close eye on the dogs to make sure all their needs are met. There are plenty of pet-friendly areas around my apartment for walks, and I can accommodate walks for potty breaks or exercise, whether on the owner’s preferred schedule or whenever the dog feels like getting out and about. I can also follow specific feeding schedules and securely store food. I’m always available to reassure pet owners with photos of their pets and can meet any reasonable requests for additional comfort or accommodations.
“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!”
“As a first time cat mom and first time user of a pet sitter, I was extremely nervous about finding the right sitter for my cat. But, rest assured, Yelyzaveta was phenomenal. She was a great sitter who was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures and videos. I also loved that unlike many of the other sitters on here, she has a cat and had many reviews taking care of cats instead of just dogs. She also stayed for a decent amount of time each visit and made sure my cat came out, ate, and played with her. Will definitely use her again!”

“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!”

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.

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: Former St. Bernard owner here that loves all dogs big and small. I wfh and have pet sat dogs all over the world. When you book me you can feel at ease knowing your dog is properly cared for. Before confirming booking I like to do meet and greets. This is to ensure both your 4 legged friend and I get along. Also I am allergic to cats so I can only accept bookings from folks without cats.

I will follow any instructions left by you on how to properly care for your dog. I want this to be a pleasant and seamless experience for both you and your dog.
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Miami
Shiyu was a life saver! I needed help last minute with my puppy and she got back to me right away. I could tell my Antonia was immediately comfortable with her and I was able to leave knowing my pup would be safe and happy in her care. She really went above and beyond and I would absolutely book with her again!! Highly recommend.
Julieta is wonderful! She’s very thorough, reliable, and clearly loves Taro. She made sure he was fed, cleaned his bowl afterward, and took great care of all the little details. She’s also very kind and attentive. I felt very comfortable having Taro in her care and would definitely recommend her!
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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Miami stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.

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. 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.

- 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
