About: I have experience with boarding and walking a variety of dogs from young, untrained puppies to larger dogs. I can be relied on to check-in/walk your pets while you are at work or can take on longer multiple day stays. I’m currently a biology PhD student and my schedule currently allows for great flexibility to adapt to your pet’s needs. I’m highly communicative and excited to work with you so you feel at ease leaving your pet in my care :) I am currently a graduate student with a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to work from home if needed so I can give your pets greater attention. Otherwise, I may go in for a morning or afternoon, but have the flexibility to return home for frequent walks. I currently live with my boyfriend in Victoria Park in Ft. Lauderdale in a very pet friendly, walkable neighborhood. I’m only a couple blocks from Holiday Park where I often take any pets that come to stay with me :)
“Marianna was absolutely wonderful with Thor. She was communicative, sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, and clearly went above and beyond — even navigating flooding from a storm to make sure she got to him on time. She noticed small details, like mixing his leftovers with fresh food and topping off his water fountain, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was away. Thor was clearly relaxed and well cared for by the end of the trip. I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.”
About: Hi, I'm Oscar! I've had a special bond with pets since I was a kid, which inspired me to volunteer at a rescue dog foundation. There, I provided shelter and care to countless pups, learning the joy of seeing them find their forever homes. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I treat every animal with the love and attention they deserve. Let me help you care for your furry family—they’ll always be in good hands! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because it's something I genuinely love doing. As I work part-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for your furry family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or ensuring they feel comfortable and loved, I plan my schedule to make sure their needs are always met. Providing reliable, compassionate care is a priority for me. I focus on providing care in my client’s home, ensuring that pets remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I tailor my approach to meet their unique needs. I pay close attention to instructions and routines to maintain consistency and ensure your furry family feels safe and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats my whole life. My 16 year old pitbull/american bulldog mix Riley was the light of my life. She passed away in April and I’m not ready yet to adopt again. Recently I have been watching my friends dogs for company at home because my apartment feels so empty without her. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies and reactive dogs as well. I also have experience with administering medication and caring for dogs with special needs. I am responsive around the clock- I work full time in Marine Operations at Norwegian cruise line so I am always available by phone and you will never have difficulty reaching me. Monday through Thursday I usually go to the office from about 7am - 2pm. If a dog I’m caring for needs more attention I usually just take some work from home days. Otherwise we would have a nice long sunrise walk before I leave home at 7 and an afternoon walk upon my arrival at 2:30 ish. If your dog enjoys car rides I would also love to take them on adventures to get coffee, or visit my parents (they live just 10 blocks from me). It’s really whatever your dog is accustomed to I will provide. I live in a spacious apartment 1 bed 2 bath. My building has a dog park in the complex, but I prefer to walk in my neighborhood. It’s a beautiful area with lots of waterfront and grass in front of the homes for exploring. In my apartment, Dogs are allowed on all the furniture but if that’s not allowed in your house I won’t encourage it.
“MaryJane is amazing. She took care of my kitty, Stark for 6 days while I traveled. He’s very sweet but shy and she got him to hang out with her and feel at home. I’m very grateful she would provide constant updates and send me pictures. I highly recommend her for you fur babies. She’s very trustworthy ?????”
“Audrey took such wonderful care of Bonzo! She arrived on time, followed all of my instructions so well, and made the whole visit feel easy and reassuring. I loved the adorable pet summary she sent afterward, it was such a sweet and thoughtful detail. She even cleaned Bonzo’s bowl after he ate, which I really appreciated. The pictures she sent were the cutest and truly made my day. Bonzo was clearly in great hands with Audrey, and I would happily book with her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life, seeing them grow and age. Doesn't matter age or height, I will carefully tend to their need. I work from 9-5:30 pm but love taking daily walks in the morning and the evening, having your dog would make the best walk companion! I believe in caring for others home as your own home-with care and respect. Have 2 parks where I can take them and play around.
“Always looking forward to story time when Stephanie takes care of our boys! She’s wonderful, trustworthy and always makes us laugh with the notes regarding each visit. 10/10 recommend”
“Madelin took very good care of my kitties & sent plenty of pictures, which I appreciated because I miss them a lot when I leave them. She also left everything really clean :)”
“Jessica was wonderful! Very professional, obviously loves pets, and took great care of my dog Jake! She was very communicative and sent several pictures. I will definitely use her again!”
“Michelle is very professional, personable, and punctual. She took the time to built great rapport with my fearful dog, which is not an easy feat. She goes above and beyond in preparation of her visits, coming with treats and toys, as well as new ideas to help engage my dog.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kelly! She was so reliable, friendly, kind, attentive, caring and sweet with my dog Benny. She went above and beyond to help me when I was in need. I am forever grateful to find Kelly and will recommend her to anyone!! I was so nervous about finding the right sitter for my high maintenance doggy but Kelly knew exactly what to do. Always sending me photos and videos while she’s caring for him. Checking in and out with me when she comes and goes. Always on time or early. 10000/10!!!”
About: I have a deep connection with dogs and years of experience caring for them— from playful puppies to gentle seniors, including those who require medication or special attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, where I received hands-on training in handling different situations and helping dogs improve their behavior. I’m a proud pet mom to a sweet and docile 20 lb Cockapoo who’s fully trained as a service animal— calm, friendly, and with not an ounce of aggression. If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs and you’re comfortable with them meeting, it would be my pleasure to introduce them. While I work part-time, I devote all of my free time to providing attentive and loving care for dogs. It is what a truly enjoy at this stage of my life. I live in a spacious apartment where I can host in case by case basis. I can also do overnight stay at your place if preferred

About: With four years of experience as a large dog owner (pandemic dog), I understand the needs and joys of caring for bigger breeds. I offer pet sitting services, including boarding, walking, and daytime care, ensuring your furry friend is happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you're away. I own a home with a big backyard, perfect for meeting your dog's outdoor needs, providing plenty of space for play and exercise. I provide a safe, loving environment to give you peace of mind. Whether your dog needs a place to stay, a companion for walks, or daytime supervision, I've got you! I work from home and stay home during the weekends for the most part. When working, I need to take walking breaks for my own health, nothing better than furry walking companions. I own a home with a large, fenced yard. For client’s homes, I prefer to have the dog’s preferences and schedule to mitigate disruptions to their routine.
“Makayla has been really helpful and understanding with Mili. We had to hire her for mid day visits during the time I had to be away from the country for more than two months. Mili wasn’t coping very well with it as she was being left alone in the house for prolonged hours! Makayla managed her energy and took care of her during her visits and was very understanding and flexible with everything. She once had to deal with the mess caused my mili tearing up a stuffed toy. She picked it all up and let us know that one part of the toy was missing which helped us take action on time and make sure my pup was safe. I really appreciate her being proactive in difficult situations and would definitely trust her and recommend her.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for some time now. My own personal four dogs, also worked with groups in large dog daycare for 5 years. Pet care is the main part of my daily life because I literally live for my dogs and work with others dogs. It's twenty-four hours In my home I like to spend time outside in my garden with my guys. I have a fenced in area that they can use to play or hangout. I like taking long walks, usually I'm up early to get them out before it's too hot. Two long walks, one in the early morning and the other in the evening,unless it's cool weather then there's another walk during the day. Just keep them stimulated and busy ,that keeps them safe. I like to let them get to know me and see that they're safe, sometimes that means I give them space until they approach me. Just play and show them love.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I grew up with three dogs and two cats, so I’ve always been surrounded by furry family members and understand how important they are. While my current lifestyle isn’t the best fit for having a pet of my own, I genuinely miss being around animals. Rover gives me the opportunity to enjoy the best kind of pet therapy while giving your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day. On Tuesdays and Saturdays, I have prior commitments for a few hours, but I’m still available before or after those commitments. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and exercise they need. I live in the Wynwood area, which is very pet friendly and great for walks. My home is clean, comfortable, and a calm environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while giving them plenty of attention, love, and care.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I now have 2 cats. I’ve done puppy and senior dog care. I’m experienced with cat care, litter boxes and medications, nail clippings and more. Pet sitting will be my full source of income, and something I enjoy and will have an open schedule for. Available weekdays and weekends. On weekends preferably morning to early afternoon. My dogs always had a fenced yard, but I moved into an apartment so they went on multiple walks a day due to not having a yard. Fed twice a day, walks throughout the entire day. I’m experienced with giving dogs medicine and shots due to one of mine having diabetes. I am very experienced with puppies I’ve had three. Adaptable to anything that a pet owner requests for their dogs care. I currently own 2 cats, one is 6 the other is 2. One male one female, my female is a rescue so I’m experienced with more timid/shy cats. I know cleaning litter schedules, importance of dry/wet food diets.

Nina was fantastic! From the beginning communication was excellent and she made sure to send me pictures and updates about Blue. When I got home everything was perfect and Blue was a happy boy. I highly recommend her services! Until next time! Thank you again!
Great sitter!! My plans changed at last minute and Nick was very understanding and flexible with me, I really appreciated it! He took notes and followed every request I had for my pets to a T!! They were very well cared for and were so calm when I came home that I know they felt at ease with him. I plan on booking again and highly recommend Nick for drop ins! Nick, thank you again, hope to see you soon!
Michelle is exactly the person my husband and I needed for our puppy. She is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and responsible. She communicated throughout her multiple check ins and put us at ease while we were away. We would love to have her again in the future!

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 Shores 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.

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.
