“Audrey was really great with my cats, she took care of them, followed all the instructions, and all the time in constantly communication providing details of her drop-in visit. For sure I’ll book her again to take care of them.”
“Thanks so much for taking care of the pups! I really appreciate all the walks, feedings, and everything you did to keep them happy. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. ladded a little extra to say thanks - you went above and beyond. We'd love to have you back again next time!”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have been caring for animals for nearly my entire life. For the past 20 years, I’ve consistently lived in a home with three to four cats, so caring for multiple pets at once and keeping up with their individual personalities, routines, and needs is second nature to me. As a longtime pet owner, I’m very hands-on with daily care. I feed my cats every day, scoop and maintain their litter boxes daily, vacuum regularly to keep their environment clean, trim their nails, help keep them well-groomed, and administer medication when needed. I know firsthand that cats especially can have very different personalities and comfort levels, and I’m patient about letting them warm up to me on their own terms. I also have plenty of experience with dogs and understand the importance of keeping them active, engaged, and on their normal schedule. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, basic care, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure their routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same attention and care I give my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to the little things that can signal when a pet needs something. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout my visits so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’ve lived with cats for virtually my entire adult life and currently have three of my own. Caring for them is part of my everyday routine, from feeding them twice a day and scooping the litter box daily to vacuuming regularly to keep a clean, comfortable environment. I also have experience administering medication when needed, trimming nails, and keeping cats well groomed. I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine, whether they’re playful and social or prefer a quiet space. I’ll care for your cat with patience, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, cats, a bird, and even a bunny, so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets. I have two years of experience caring for my neighbors’ cats while they were away, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication, and spending time playing with them. I’ve also had my own cat for the past four years, and at one point I had four cats, including a senior cat who was blind, so I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I know cats often require a different approach than dogs, and I’m happy to go at their pace to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience giving daily medication to my family’s dog and regularly walk my parents’ dogs whenever I’m home. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own I recently graduated from the University of Miami, so my schedule is very flexible while I search for a full-time position. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate my availability in advance and make sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and any special requests. I have experience caring for senior pets and administering medication, and I’ve stayed calm during an unexpected medical emergency while caring for my mom’s dog by getting her to the vet right away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know they’re safe and happy.
“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.”
“Stephanie was great with our 2 boys! She was reliable and very attentive when it came to playtime and tending to each of their personalities. Every rover card was an experience to read lol she is super creative and funny! I’ll definitely book again!”
“Contacted rover on short notice and was so pleased That Maddy reached out and was available. She showed up on time, was very sweet and sent me pics of my pup while I was out. I was just visiting Miami and needed some help managing my boy!”
About: I grew up with five dogs, and have had at least one since. I've dogsat for neighbors countless times, and have enjoyed every second with their furry friends. Not counting my high school/childhood years, I've been dogsitting for 5 years. I currently work part-time and as a theater artist. I have the most time on Monday - Wednesday (full availability) with more limited time on Thurs - Sun. Most Thurs/Fri I'm available until about 4 pm. Same for weekends, unless I end up working a matinee. I always have morning availability. When coming into a client's home, the first thing I'm doing is working on gaining your pet's trust. I understand it can be scary having a stranger walk into your safe space! I speak gently, get on their level (if safe to do so) and overall just work on showing them that I'm there to have a good time with them.
About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring medication and extra attention. My approach is always patient, dependable, and tailored to each dog’s unique personality. With a background in psychology, I understand the importance of reading behavior, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I know how important consistency is when caring for someone’s best friend. What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I treat every dog as if they were my own, follow their routine closely, and always go the extra mile to make both pets and owners feel comfortable. Along the way, you’ll receive thoughtful updates, beautiful high-quality photos and videos, and the peace of mind of knowing your pup is in caring, dependable hands 🐾
About: passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends. I understand that every pup has their own personality and needs, and I strive to provide personalized attention and care to each dog I look after. I am a homemaker that does not work a set schedule so I can be flexible to assist with pet care anytime of day and night I always ask owners for the specific needs, rules, schedule of their pets because every pet is unique and have their own needs and different personalities
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from larger breeds like Rottweilers and Mastiffs to smaller dogs like Chihuahuas, so I’m very comfortable handling different sizes and personalities. My love for animals has always been a big part of who I am I truly believe dogs are a human’s best friend and deserve genuine care, patience, and attention. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentleness they may need, which is something I truly enjoy. I’ve adopted several older dogs from shelters, so I’m very familiar with the level of care, consistency, and compassion it takes to make them feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent time throughout the day for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, or evening care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in any environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routine and follow directed protocol, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care needs, so the pet feels secure and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision while keeping their space clean and safe.

“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.”
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.
“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!!!”

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.
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.

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

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.
