About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them truly brings me joy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or cozy couch cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as cats and small pets. I’m comfortable with senior pets, administering medication, and tailoring care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. With me, your pet will get plenty of attention, regular updates (with lots of pictures!), and a reliable companion you can count on. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your furry family member feel right at home. I’m primarily available for drop ins on Tuesday and Wednesday all day. My schedule changes weekly due to my primary career but I’ll be available for walks on most days after 3pm. I don’t offer boarding services at this. I can clean litter boxes, do daily feedings, go on walks and tidy after your pet for the duration I’m there. If your pet has medication needs I can provide those if you’re willing to show me their needs.

About: I provide pets with attentive, one on one care that will be tailored to each one I care for. I have experience with many types of pets and breeds and will provide updates and communicate consistently. I have skills in all sorts of pet caring necessities and problems. I can wash them, feed them, walk them, play with them, clean up their messes, and so much more. I also have experience dealing with senior pets and have even had to clean and bandage wounds. I’m currently a full time college student but have plenty of time to care for pets. My hours for school change semester to semester but are usually pretty early so I will be available often. I create an environment that matches a pets personality and routine feel comfortable. In addition, I also make sure things are clean, monitor pet’s behaviors, and update the client to make sure that pets are happy, as well as the client.

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.

Shely was amazing! She took great care of Linda during the time I was away. She was very caring and understood the needs of my cat perfectly. We had a great communication, sending messages, videos and photos of her visits. She is a sweetheart and I will definitely book her again in the future.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large and high-energy breeds. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs at once and managing different personalities safely. I’ve cared for strong breeds like bully dogs, making sure they are exercised, supervised, and kept in a structured, safe environment. I also have experience rescuing and caring for injured animals. I once helped a Doberman that was hit by a car, assisting with care and making sure he was safe during an emergency situation. In addition, I’ve cared for a senior dog long term, so I understand the patience, attention, and gentle handling older dogs need. I pay close attention to body language to prevent issues before they happen and always prioritize safety. I’m very patient, clean, and reliable whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or keeping spaces sanitary. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I have a very open and flexible schedule since I’m an online student and not currently working. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, allowing me to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m available for mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and can adjust to your dog’s specific needs and routine. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have two small, very friendly dogs who are both crate trained and well-behaved. If needed, I can keep my dogs separate and crated to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety. I prioritize a clean, structured, and safe environment at all times. I closely supervise all dogs, pay attention to their behavior and body language, and follow all care instructions carefully. My goal is to make every dog feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for, just like they would at home.

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, from helping in a vet clinic and working at a dog daycare to caring for my own pets over the years. I’m very patient with animals, attentive to their behavior, and I always try to follow each pet’s routine closely because I know that’s what helps them feel calm, safe, and happy while you’re away. I work remotely during the week (8am–5pm), so I’m available for reliable early morning and evening visits on weekdays. On weekends, I’m more flexible and available throughout the day. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone during typical work hours and do best with a consistent routine. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow instructions closely and prioritize clear communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🪴💚

About: My passion for animals first started when I got my first dog Brody, whom I have loved and cared for since 2013! During high school, I was a part-time pet volunteer at Miami-Dade Animal Shelter. This experience allowed me to gain the necessary skills to be able to start my services. I am currently working full-time and preparing to go back to school soon. I am looking for some furry friends to keep me busy in the evenings! My house is an apartment , therefore, there is no yard available. On the bright side, there is a mini dog park in my neighborhood which happens to be located right behind my house. It is fenced and usually empty so dogs will most likely have the park to themselves!

About: Certified veterinary assistant with ~200 clinical hours, currently studying to become a veterinarian. I specialize in boarding exotic pets and have hands-on experience with lizards, snakes, and fish, along with volunteer work in animal care. I currently own two lizards and am very comfortable handling exotics. Tanks/cages must be provided. Since I am home from college on break, I do not have classes or other commitments during the day. This allows me to provide full attention and care to pets throughout their stay. I am available for feeding, playtime, enrichment, and administering any medications as needed. Pets in my care will have a consistent routine and supervision whenever they are awake and active. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s home can feel stressful. For full safety, exotic pets in my care will stay in a separate room in my home that my dogs cannot enter, so they are secure and stress-free, Pets are monitored closely :)

If you give me permission to take him/her to the dog park, i will be more than glad to do so. I am home all day long, so your pet will never be home unsupervised. I will also make sure to follow his or her feeding instructions and if you have a walking schedule i will also make sure to follow it. I will also be providing you with pictures and messages every day multiple times to update you on your pet. My services: I provide all services: Dog boarding Drop in visits Doggy day care Dog walking What type of animals will I accept? I do understand that dogs are not the only pets one may own.

About: I have cared for cats throughout different stages of my life, from childhood into adulthood, and I understand that each cat has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels. My experience includes feeding, litter box care, playtime, and creating a calm, low-stress environment where cats feel safe and secure. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, which allows me to respect their space while still building trust. I am patient with shy or independent cats and understand that connection happens on their terms. I have also cared for cats who needed extra patience and attention, which strengthened my ability to provide gentle, consistent support. I treat every cat with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I would give my own. As a mother, nurturing and responsibility are a natural part of who I am, and I bring that same attentiveness to every pet I care for. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. I truly value being able to support others by providing a safe and loving environment for their pets. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive to each pet’s needs, and I make it a priority to provide consistent, dependable care. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and secure environment for every pet in my care. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I am attentive to behavior and surroundings, ensuring pets are always supervised, comfortable, and never put in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I am respectful, clean, and mindful of both the space and the pet’s routine. My goal is to maintain a sense of normalcy so pets feel at ease while their owners are away.

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.

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!

Everything was perfect: the schedule, the food, Ringo's physiological needs. When we returned from the trip, he was fine. Ringo immediately developed a very affectionate relationship with Lorely. The service was very good, and I recommend it. Lorely visited our home the entire time, and her demeanor and professionalism were excellent. We are very happy with the service. Our Ringo was home for a week. We didn't have to take him to a strange place. Thanks to Lorely.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Miami Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Miami Lakes on Rover is $17.76 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 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 6,447 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Miami Lakes. 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 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.

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

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

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.
