I have a home with plenty of space as well as a full backyard (treated for fleas) for play time . Your pets will get to roam the yard often.
About: I’ve always had a special love for animals and know how much they mean to their families. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, lots of playtime, or a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.

About: I have experience with many different size and age dogs, since I have a big dog family at home. This comes with a lot of training as well. I’m very active, so I love to go on walks and runs with my dogs. I am a student, but my schedule is mostly flexible. I do spend some time at home and the time I’m not home, I’m in class. The weekends are free for me. I live in a pet-loving home, so there is no stress having a guest over! Dogs can be in their cage or if it is more comfortable to be without a cage that is perfectly fine as well. I also have the option of boarding or day care without my dogs.
About: Hi! I’m Katherine, With 3 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I treat every pup like my own. I have experience with senior dogs who need a little extra love and care, as well as energetic puppies who thrive on play and structure. I use positive reinforcement for basic training and am comfortable administering medications if needed. Whether your dog is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home with me. i am avaliable monday to friday from 5:30 pm and from friday to sunday 24/7and if i am chosen to take care of you m As a lifelong dog lover, I care for every pup just like I do my own Yorkie, Luna. Each morning we start with a nutritious breakfast—premium kibble with a spoonful of pumpkin—followed by a brisk 20‑minute neighborhood walk so she can sniff, explore, and stretch her legs. Back home, I keep her coat looking its best with a quick brush, and during the day I check in regularly for fresh water, belly rubs, and mental stimulation through puzzle toys. Late afternoons mean living‑room fetch sessions or rooftop playdates, and dinner at 6 PM comes with a bit of shredded chicken for extra flavor. When the day winds down, I tuck her into her cozy spot by my side, making sure she’s warm, happy, and ready for sweet dog‑dreams—because every pet in my care deserves that same routine of love, attention, and reliability.

About: I work in the cruising industry, so I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ pets for days and even weeks at a time while they travel for work. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have furry family members of my own. I may not have any fancy “pet care” certifications or special skills, but what I do have is plenty of love, patience, attention, and a genuine soft spot for animals. My goal is to make your time away a little easier by giving your pets the same care, affection, and attention they’re used to at home- with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and, of course, treats when allowed! Your pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I work full-time from home, Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM, so my availability is primarily in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I also have a 2-year-old who may occasionally accompany me when caring for pets, provided they are comfortable and child-friendly. I’m happy to discuss each pet’s needs and make sure the arrangement is a good fit for everyone. My schedule allows me to be flexible outside of my regular work hours, and I’m especially happy to help with evening visits, walks, overnight care, and weekend stays. I have a cat and two guinea pigs at home, so I’m currently only able to host pets who are comfortable and friendly around other animals. Because of this, I’m especially happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping up with their normal routine while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you leave for their care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾
About: I've been pet-sitting for over half of my life - starting at age 10 up until now. I discovered my passion for pet-sitting when I was about eight years old. My journey began as a pet-sitter for a family friend's dog who would eventually be given to me and become my best friend for 10 years. With one dog at home, I was eager to take care of more. Through word of mouth, I had garnered an impressive amount of clients . I have experience handling animals from fish to horses and everything in between. I've yet to meet an animal that I didn't connect with and I've yet to meet a dissatisfied owner. Most owners will leave me with, "You're the only person that I trust to take care of my animals." I take pride in my work as a pet-sitter and to me, that's the greatest testament to how much I care about each and every pet that I take care of. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, as it’s my full-time job alongside being a student. I carefully balance my study schedule with pet care visits, ensuring that each pet receives the attention they need—whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just companionship. I schedule visits during breaks in my day to make sure I’m meeting the pets’ needs while staying on top of my coursework. With pet sitting as my main focus outside of school, I’m able to provide personalized care and ensure each pet feels loved while their owners are away. Whether in my home or a client's home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment for the pet. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routine. At a client’s home, I respect their space while sticking to the pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule. I ensure each pet feels secure, loved, and well-cared for, whether it's keeping them company, following special instructions, or just offering some extra attention to make them feel at ease.

Someone is always home, so pups are rarely alone. I give regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. Family home with a spacious fenced yard. Quiet condo community with nearby park. Two separate living rooms provide space, supervision, comfort, and privacy if needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Miami Lakes
I am so grateful to have found Yusisleydis. I could completely trust with my dog while I was away. From the moment I met them, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about my dog. She kept me updated, gave my dog so much love and attention, and made sure my fur baby was happy and comfortable the entire time. Being away can be stressful when you worry about your pet, but knowing my dog was being cared for so well gave me complete peace of mind. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I could truly see the bond they had formed. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my dog. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend Yusisleydis to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pet as if it were their own. ❤️🐾
Erika took such great care of my 9 year old dog while I was away. Since he's an older dog, I always worry about leaving him, but she handled everything so well and gave him so much love and attention. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you Erika!
Nicole has been absolutely incredible only after two weeks. My breed of dog takes time to adjust to new friends and family. Nicole has been able to patiently developed a bond to this point which we are confident will grow in time. This deserves mention and to be brought to the attention of others.
Hands down Dominga has been a blessing to us. Having our 14 year old dog, Lucky, need a minor surgical procedure days before our long weekend trip was very stressful. We trusted Dominga that she would take care of our dog just as we would. She had already proved us right the previous time she took care of Lucky, so we went with our instinct. Dominga is an excellent communicator and she does her job impeccably with our dog. She not only took care of the feedings and walks but the wound care and instructions post surgery. I can’t recommend her enough and we are so happy that we can count on her for our next trips

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- 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 Lakes 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
