About: Your home will be in better shape than when you left — guaranteed. I grew up surrounded by animals. Dogs, cats, the beautiful chaos of both. Pets weren't a hobby in my household; they were the heartbeat of every day. I recently said goodbye to Chiti, my 16-year-old dog. She taught me that presence is the greatest gift you can give a living being. That's the standard I bring into every home I care for. I'm a writer and coach who works entirely from home — which means your pet has near-constant human company all day, every day. No empty house. No pet waiting by the door alone. What you can expect from me: • Daily photos and updates — you'll feel like you never left • The same feeding times, walks, and rules your pet already knows • A calm, quiet environment (I meditate and practice yoga daily — animals notice immediately) • A spotless home when you return • Bilingual communication — English and Spanish I'm an experienced, verified house sitter with 5-star reviews from TrustedHousesitters, where I cared for homes and pets across multiple stays. I have my own transportation and treat every home I stay in with the same care I'd want for my own. Your home won't be empty. Your pet won't be lonely. And when you return, both will be exactly as you left them — just a little more loved. I serve the entire South Florida area with my own car: Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, and surrounding communities. I work from home full-time as a writer and coach — 100% flexible schedule, 7 days a week including holidays and overnights. I'm home almost all day, every day, which means your pet always has company. No rushing back between jobs, no leaving them alone for hours. I'm simply here. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow your routine exactly — same feeding times, same walks, same rules — so everything feels familiar and safe. I have no pets of my own, which is ideal for animals that do best in a calm, one-on-one environment. Doors and gates are always secured, pets are never left unattended in unfamiliar spaces, and I send daily photo and message updates. You'll always know your pet is safe — and your home is in good hands. I'm reliable, respectful, and treat every home as if it were my own.

Audrey was really great with my cats, she took care of them, followed all the instructions, and all the time in constantly communication providing details of her drop-in visit. For sure I’ll book her again to take care of them.

I knew the moment we met Imma, my cats were in the best of hands. They liked her immediately. She sent me pictures everyday, it was so nice to see my babies since we were in another state and far away. Imma was precise and gave the care we asked of her. I usually board my pets, but because of the care Imma gave them, I will always allow my pets to stay home, when / if we travel again. And will definitely ask Imma again, for her care and time!

About: Hi! My name is Alexis and I’m a dedicated dog lover based in South Florida. I have a natural love for animals and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve had 6 dogs throughout my life, caring for them from playful puppies all the way into their senior years (up to 15 years old). I’ve had experience with different breeds including Dalmatians, Pitbulls, Labs, and a Peagle, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your dog will feel right at home. Whether it’s walks or drop-in visits. I treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and great with communication. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the dogs in my care. I make sure each pet receives attention, companionship, and proper care throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I will treat your dog as if they were my own, with constant attention and care. I am very attentive to my surroundings and to each dog in my care, ensuring they are always safe, comfortable, and supervised. I take the time to understand each dog’s behavior and needs to prevent any potential issues. I also carefully follow all owner instructions and routines, making sure your dog receives the exact care you expect. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

About: Hi! I’m Taylor. I’m an all around animal lover. I’ve had animals my whole life and I truly am one of those people that care more about animals than anything else. All my animals are rescues. My true love is for dogs. My current job is working with dogs. As I’m getting older my passion for animals is becoming stronger and I’m learning more things about them. I’m a fun energetic person who would love to take your dog on a walk and show them lots of love and affection while you’re away. I’m also a pretty good photographer, so I’ll be sure to capture your dogs special moments. Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I create my own hours and have a very flexible routine. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, potty breaks, playtime, and adjust to their individual needs throughout the day. Safety is very important in my home. I have a fully fenced yard, extra crates if needed, and friendly, lovable pets who are used to being around other animals. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Daniela was excellent with our two dogs! She was patient and caring, and had a real calming effect on our dogs, especially on one who is generally nervous. Daniela was also punctual, had great communication and responsiveness, and on top of sending us the details of each drop in. We plan to use her services again, and would highly recommend to anyone in need of pet help.

About: I have 5 dogs (3 miniature schnauzers, 1 giant schnauzer, and one small terrier mix). 2 of the 3 minis are senior dogs. Both of them were rescues and were traumatized. My 15 year old was rescued at 3 to 4 months because of the previous owner not wanting her anymore. My 11 year old was rescued at 7 years old from a severely abusive home. The other is a puppy, and the giant schnauzer is 2 years of age that were purchased from reputable breeders! My 1 year terrier was also abused and she came from the broward animal shelter. I also have a cat, and she’s 7 years old. I adopted her from the humane society and she’s the sweetest cat. I do have experience with traumatized animals, giving pills by mouth, brushing, brushing their teeth, cleaning their ears, and due to the amount of animals I have, I have a lot of patience! I also trained all of my dogs. I am not certified, but I did teach them basic tricks like sit, lay down, crate, and give me a paw. Besides that, I also have two bearded dragons. They are both in their own separate 4x2x2 enclosures. I am okay with feeding them bugs, as I do so twice to three times a week and greens for the rest of the days! I am a full time student, but I mostly stay at home due to online classes. I do pet care any chance I get due to having so many pets! Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable and as happy as can be. I can give them medicine if they need it, or brush their fur, brush their teeth, clean their ears, and whatever else! This is what I do with my pets at home, so I wouldn’t mind doing it for yours. I also am okay with walking dogs, playing with them, and maybe teaching a trick or two!

About: However, I've owned pets since 2013 and often dogsit my friends' dogs if they're away for an event, a weekend, or even a week at a time. I lived in Barbados for 2 years, where there are dozens of stray animals roaming the streets. I took in and rehabilitated an orange cat (featured in my photos) that has been brought to the US and is happily living in NYC with her new family. I do not have any pets in my apartment at the moment- my dog, Honey, is across the country with my mom. I have so much love to give pets and enjoy spoiling pets with the attention they deserve. The qualities I have as a graduating medical student directly translate into my care for pets- being punctual, patient, and passionate. I'm a full-time medical student with a fluctuating schedule. My weekends are free for boarding, walks, etc., but weekdays depend on my schedule for the given month. Weekday work schedule typically starts at 7am, and my availability will most often start at 5pm (or earlier some days). I live with my partner in a pet-friendly condominium on the 5th floor. We do not have a private, fenced yard, but we have grass surrounding the condo and a patio with our unit. Our front door has a double key-lock, with no possibility of a pet escaping. It is a large, 2-bedroom condo with plenty of space to roam in the open-concept living room and kitchen. There's plenty of unobstructed room for pet belongings (food, toys, bedding, etc.). I do not have any other animals living in the unit, I do not have a crate, and I love animals sleeping in the room/bed with me (if owner allows).

About: I offer a calm, loving home where pups can relax and feel truly cared for. My little Pomeranian, Jinxie, is very well trained and has grown up around all the dogs I’ve fostered & she’s wonderful at giving other pups their space or keeping them gentle company if they’re looking for a friend. I’ve fostered many dogs over the years, including seniors, so I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pups who just need a softer pace and a little extra understanding. My home is cozy, peaceful, and safe, and I have cameras so I can check in whenever I step out. I love sending lots of photos so you always feel close to your pup! I’ve been in that position myself, and I know I’d want plenty of pictures of my own dog while I’m away. I treat every pup like part of the family and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I work from home full-time, which means I’m always with my dog and I’ll be right by your pup’s side too. My schedule is completely flexible, so I can fully adjust my day around walks, cuddles, playtime, and whatever your dog needs to feel safe and loved. I live in a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood in the heart of Miami Lakes where daily walks are truly something we look forward to. My home is calm, loving, and dog-friendly, and I’m always nearby to make sure your pup feels safe and comforted. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, they’ll be treated like family here.

In the 6 years Frodo has been with us, we’ve only ever had friends and family look after him while we were away. This time neither could help. Thank goodness for the Rover app which put us in touch with Dayna. I felt comfortable chatting with her and when she arrived to visit Frodo, I knew she would be perfect. They bonded instantly. I felt he would be well looked after. I was not disappointed at all. The daily check in updates and cards were wonderful. I am so glad Dayna was there to help us on such short notice. I will definitely make use of her other services, such as, socializing our Frodo and doggie day care.

About: I grew up with a dog and 2 cats at home, so I have experience with both. Additionally, my parents directed most of the feeding and walking responsibility of having a dog to me from a very young age. Thus, I became the go-to sitter for my neighbors and family members! I would baby sit dogs, cats, and younger cousins. I still babysit my partner and my roommate’s pets whenever they need it , and I am very lenient with schedule and pricing. I am not working at all besides this! My job is school and hanging out with fur babies! I am only in school for two hours a day for three days of the week. Most of my classes are online therefore my schedule is very flexible. Everyone in my apartment loves animals so having them roam free will never be a problem! I am against keeping your pet/s in cages, and I can guarantee they’ll be surrounded with love constantly. Additionally in my apartment complex, there are many dog parks and walking trails that I’m sure your pet will love! My apartment also has a good view if your pet likes to sit by windows and watch people pass by!

Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She had great communication and told me when she was leaving and had arrived each time. She also gave me details of every visit, as well as many pictures. She also was very tentative to my elderly cats needs, including giving him medicine daily. She was very respectful of my house, and asked many questions to make sure that my cat was comfortable and had the best experience while I was gone. It was very evident that she truly cared about his needs, which means a lot to me because he’s like my child. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Miami Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Miami Gardens on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 6,892 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Miami Gardens. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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 Gardens 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
