“I can’t recommend Arazoo enough! 🐾❤️ This was my second time booking with her, and she was amazing once again! She’s so sweet and caring with my fur babies, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands while I’m away. I’m so happy I found someone I can trust with them. I’ll definitely be booking her for all my future trips! Highly recommend! 🥰🐶💕”

About: I recently got a job working from home so I will be available to give your fur baby lots of love and attention. I have been around cats and dogs my whole life and have experience with caring for my friends’ pets. I work from home, so I will be available to feed, walk, clean, play, and give medications as often as needed. I will provide lots of pictures and update as needed. I live in an apartment in a nice neighborhood. There is a park and a dog park within walking distance. I will happily walk your pet as often as needed.

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: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets who need extra attention, gentle handling, and close observation. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and individual personalities, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets my full attention and is never rushed. I’m reliable with timing, flexible when needed, and able to maintain consistent routines so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a clean and secure environment, and keep doors, gates, and leashes secured at all times. I respect each pet’s routine, monitor their behavior and comfort, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I have loved and cared for animals since I was a kid. Family and friends have trusted me to take care of pets and young as a few weeks old to as old ad 12 year of age. I love and care for any pet that comes into my home as if they were apart of my family, giving them lots of love, attention, and patience. As a certified veterinary assistant, I have hands-on experience caring for animals, including handling, feeding, administering medications, and recognizing when a pet may not be feeling well. I also have experience with puppy training and helping young dogs learn basic commands, routines, and good behaviors. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I am currently a college student so my availability is flexible around my class schedule. I am available on the weekends anytime, for weekdays I am available after 4 pm. If you have any concerns I’m happy to work with your schedule and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away! I have a fenced in back yard and two medium sized dogs that can keep your furbaby company. They are very welcoming to new animals in the house so there would be no problem integrating your fluffy friend! I regularly walk my dogs in the morning and during the evening but I would be more than happy to add more walks to accommodate your pets needs. Toys and water bowls will always be available to them whenever they need it as well.

About: Since I was a child, I have cared for and loved the dogs in my neighborhood, feeding them, bathing them, taking them to the vet and making sure they always had their daily dose of games and walks. My passion for animals led me to become a rescue member of an NGO against animal abuse in my native country, where I also supported shelters. My dedication and experience guarantee that your pet will be in the best hands, receiving the love and attention it deserves. Pet care is a fundamental part of my daily routine as I currently work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets. Call me and provide the daily dose of play and happiness your pet needs. As a pet sitter, I make sure to provide exceptional care for the pets in the client's home. This includes carefully following established routines and schedules for feeding, walks and playtime, while maintaining a safe and comfortable environment. In addition, I pay special attention to each pet's individual needs, providing affection, attention and, if necessary, medication as directed by the owner. My goal is to keep pets happy and calm while their owners are away, ensuring a positive and trusting experience for all involved.

“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!”

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Miami Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Miami Lakes is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 6,524 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Miami Lakes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Lakes. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
