About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for family and friends for many years. I love being with animals and will do everything I can to make them comfortable and happy. I’m available for pet boarding daily all weekdays and weekends whenever I’m not at school. I’ll be sure to provide the best care that I can! I have a fenced yard and I live nearby the park so I can exercise and walk your dog however much they need. I also provide care for indoor cats and will keep them safe in my room until they’re confident that they can walk around. I give lots of treats, make sure all of their facilities are clean, and feed them as directed by the owner.

About: Hello! I’m Rosa, a dependable, patient, and caring dog lover based near Miami Lakes and Country Club. I have always loved dogs and feel comfortable around them. I am new to Rover, and I bring a careful, responsible, and personal approach to every walk and visit. I offer one-on-one dog walks and drop-in visits for small and medium-sized dogs. I am flexible with time. I will follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep dogs securely leashed outdoors, refresh their water, provide prepared food when requested, and send a photo and short update after every service. I have my own car, arrive punctually, and I make sure to care for only one household at a time rather than combining unfamiliar dogs. Spanish is my first language, and I can communicate in basic English. If needed, I use translation tools for written messages so that instructions are clear. Before a first booking, I think it is a good idea to have an accompanied introduction to your dog so I can learn your dog’s routine, personality, leash setup, medicine instructions and safety needs. My goal is simple: loving care for your dog and peace of mind for you. Information in Spanish / Información en espanol ¡Hola! Soy Rosa, una amante de los perros responsable, paciente y cariñosa que reside cerca de Miami Lakes y Country Club. Siempre me han encantado los perros y me siento muy cómoda con ellos. Soy nueva en Rover y tengo un enfoque cuidadoso, responsable y personalizado a cada paseo y visita. Ofrezco paseos individuales y visitas a domicilio para perros de razas pequeñas y medianas. Tengo flexibilidad de horarios. Sigo atentamente las instrucciones de cada dueño, mantengo a los perros sujetos con correa de forma segura durante los paseos, les renuevo el agua, les sirvo la comida preparada si así se solicita y envío una foto y un breve resumen tras finalizar el servicio. Cuento con vehículo propio, soy puntual y me aseguro de atender a los perros de un hogar a la vez, evito mezclar animales de diferentes hogares. Mi lengua materna es el español, aunque puedo comunicarme en inglés básico. Si es necesario, utilizo herramientas de traducción para los mensajes escritos y así garantizar que las instrucciones queden totalmente claras. Antes de la primera reserva, considero que es buena idea realizar una presentación inicial junto a usted para conocer la rutina y personalidad de su perro, así como el manejo de la correa, las pautas de medicación y cualquier necesidad específica de seguridad. Mi objetivo es sencillo: brindar un cuidado lleno de cariño a su perro y ofrecerle tranquilidad a usted. My schedule is flexible, and I am generally available for morning, midday, and afternoon/evening dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends. I plan sufficient travel time between bookings so I can arrive punctually and give each dog my full attention. I do not overbook, and I keep my Rover calendar updated. In very hot or rainy weather, I follow the owner’s instructions while adjusting the pace and route to keep the dog safe and comfortable. Information in Spanish / Información en espanol Tengo un horario flexible y, por lo general, estoy disponible para pasear perros y realizar visitas a domicilio por la mañana, al mediodía y por la tarde o noche, tanto entre semana como los fines de semana. Planifico con tiempo suficiente de transporte entre servicios para llegar puntualmente y dedicar toda mi atención a cada perro. No acepto más reservas de las que puedo atender y mantengo actualizado mi calendario de Rover. Cuando hace mucho calor o llueve, sigo las instrucciones de los dueños y ajusto el ritmo y la ruta para garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar del perro. I carefully follow all written instructions concerning feeding, water, walking, home access, and the dog’s normal routine. Before or during the first booking, I think it is important to have an introduction to learn about the dog’s behavior, harness and leash, reactions to other dogs, cats and people, health needs, veterinarian, and emergency contact. Dogs remain securely leashed whenever we are outdoors. I check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes carefully to reduce the possibility of an escape. I respect every client’s home, lock doors as instructed, and never bring another person into the home. After every walk or visit, I send a photo, and short update. If I notice an injury, illness, unusual behavior, or safety concern, I contact the owner immediately. Information in Spanish / Información en espanol Sigo atentamente todas las instrucciones por escrito sobre la alimentación, el agua, los paseos, el acceso a la vivienda y la rutina habitual del perro. Antes o durante la primera reserva, considero importante realizar un encuentro previo para conocer el comportamiento del perro, su arnés y correa, sus reacciones ante otros perros, gatos y personas, así como sus necesidades de salud, datos del veterinario y contacto de emergencia. Los perros permanecen siempre sujetos con correa cuando estamos en el exterior. Reviso minuciosamente puertas, verjas, collares, arneses y correas para minimizar el riesgo de que se escapen. Respeto el hogar de cada cliente, cierro las puertas según las indicaciones y nunca llevo a otras personas a la casa. Tras cada paseo o visita, envío una foto y un breve resumen. Si observo alguna lesión, enfermedad, comportamiento inusual o problema de seguridad, contacto al dueño de inmediato.

About: Animals have always been my passion, and I've dedicated both my education and career to caring for them. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences and have experience working with animals in a variety of professional settings. My background includes emergency veterinary medicine, where I learned to stay calm under pressure and recognize signs of illness or distress. I've also worked in a dairy cattle science laboratory, on a working farm, and in large animal care at Zoo Miami, giving me experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently work full-time at Royal Vet in Miami Beach, where I continue to expand my knowledge of animal health and welfare. My experience allows me to provide attentive, knowledgeable care, whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, or simply lots of love and playtime. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in experienced and caring hands. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I work full-time at a veterinary hospital, so my days revolve around animal health and well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. My schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting before and after work, on weekends, and on my days off. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always strive to keep their schedule as consistent as possible. In my client's home, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure pets receive plenty of love, enrichment, and attention. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. With my background in veterinary medicine and animal sciences, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and can respond appropriately if any concerns arise. Above all, my goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away.

About: Having pets in my life is something that I've always used. I've been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a child, they have always been part of my family, we were members of a foundation to help pets in need in my homeland. My friends, my family, and even people I did not know at first trusted me with their pets since they heard from others about how I sitter. My schedule is quite flexible. I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets whenever you need me. I am always available during the week and on some weekends. Where I live, there is a dog park—a huge space for walking. My home also has a large yard, and I have plenty of things for them to play with; your pet will never get bored. I will always follow your instructions regarding how to feed your pet, and each one will have its own food bowl if needed. If your pet requires anything else, please let me know in advance.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, so caring for them has always been a part of my life. I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special! Whether your pup is full of energy and ready to play or prefers a quiet cuddle and a nap, I’m happy to match their pace. I’m patient, dependable, and I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and have lots of fun! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m a college student, so outside of my classes and work, I have the flexibility to give pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for your pet, I'll do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible! I'll carefully follow your instructions, make sure they get plenty of love and attention, and always treat your home with respect. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away!

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.

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. ❤️🐾

I am couldn’t be happier with the care Denys provided! From the moment we met, it was clear he truly loves animals and take his job seriously. He was warm, reliable, and attentive to every detail of my pets’ routine. I received daily updates, photos, and little notes that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. The house was also left spotless, which was such a thoughtful touch. I highly recommend Denys to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. I’ll definitely be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Miami Lakes on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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

  • 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 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.
