About: Hi! My name is Maria. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, which makes me a proud 'fur mom'! I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl and have always had a deep love and care for animals. No matter what is happening in our day, I always make space to follow their routines—like feeding, walks, and playtime in the afternoon—because they are my babies. They go with me almost everywhere, including long-distance road trips. I have personally cared for two elderly dogs, so I understand they need a slower and more delicate pace I stay very attentive to following medication schedules and dosages. I understand that accidents happen with age; I am very patient and always ready to clean up and keep them comfortable and dry. I must brag that I am quite good at giving relaxing massages to dogs; I’ve seen how much they enjoy them, and they always ask for more! I have experience caring for the pets of family and friends, whom I treat as part of my human-animal clan. To me, your fur baby is not just a pet—they are family—and it is an honor that you trust me to care for them. I will do everything possible to make sure they are happy so that you can feel calm and confident that they are in responsible and loving hands. Your pet isn't just a guest in my home; they become a cherished member of my clan. Let’s connect and make sure your fur baby has the happiest and fun stay possible! Hola! Mi nombre es Maria. Tengo 2 perros y 2 gatos, y por eso soy una mama orgullosa de peluditos, junto con mi esposo (que esta en foto de perfil) el cual tambien tiene anos de experiencia cuidando de mascotas. Desde nina he tenido perros, y un gran amor y cuidado por los animales. No importa que este pasando en nuestro dia, siempre hacemos espacio para poder cumplir con sus rutinas como alimentacion, paseos y juegos en la tarde, porque son nuestros bebes. Van con nosotros casi a todas partes, incluyendo viajes por carretera de larga distancia. He tenido la oportunidad de cuidar a dos perritos mayores en mi entorno personal, por lo que entiendo que requieren una atención más pausada y delicada. Me aseguro de seguir las instrucciones de sus medicamentos al pie de la letra. Y entiendo que con la edad pueden ocurrir accidentes; soy muy paciente y estoy siempre atenta para limpiar lo que sea necesario y mantenerlos cómodos. Debo presumir que soy bastante buena dando masajes rejalantes a los perros, los cuales he visto que disfrutan bastante y siempre piden mas! He tenido experiencia cuidando mascotas de familiares y amigos, los cuales tratamos como parte de nuestro clan humano-animal. Para mi tu hijo peludito no es una mascota, es tu familia y es un honor que confies en mi para poder cuidarla. Voy a hacer todo lo posible para que este feliz, y que tu puedas sentirte tranquilo y confiado que esta en manos responsables y amorosas. Tu mascota no es solo un huésped en nuestro hogar; se convierte en un miembro querido de nuestro clan. ¡Conectemos y asegurémonos de que tu bebé tenga la estancia más feliz y divertida posible! Pet care isn't just a job for me; it is the center of my daily life. I work part-time and am consistently finished by 2:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate my entire afternoon and evening to the 'human-animal clan' in my care. My routine is built around structure: once I'm off work, I prioritize midday walks, feeding schedules, and play sessions. Because my husband and I already maintain strict routines for our own two dogs and two cats, adding a guest pet into our flow is seamless. Whether it’s an afternoon stroll or a relaxing dog massage after a long walk, your pet becomes a natural part of my daily schedule, receiving the same love and attention I give my own babies. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo para mí; es el centro de mi vida diaria. Trabajo a tiempo parcial y normalmente termino a las 2:00 p. m., lo que me permite dedicar toda mi tarde y noche al 'clan humano-animal' que esté bajo mi cuidado. Mi rutina se basa en la estructura: una vez que salgo del trabajo, priorizo los paseos del mediodía, los horarios de alimentación y las sesiones de juego. Debido a que mi esposo y yo ya mantenemos rutinas estrictas para nuestros propios dos perros y dos gatos, integrar a una mascota invitada en nuestro ritmo es algo natural. Ya sea un paseo por la tarde o un masaje relajante para perros después de una larga caminata, tu mascota se convierte en parte natural de mi agenda diaria, recibiendo el mismo amor y atención que les doy a mis propios bebés. My Priority: A Safe and fun environment Whether in my home or yours, my priority is maintaining a safe and fun environment that mimics the pet's natural routine. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare): My home is a cozy, pet-friendly place exclusively for small breeds. I have a secure, fenced-in backyard where your little ones can play and explore safely. For maximum safety, I personally supervise every potty break and outdoor play session. To ensure your pet receives the highest level of attention and the best possible experience, I only host one dog at a time. Since I have my own two small dogs and two cats, this limit ensures a harmonious environment where your pet is never overwhelmed. For added peace of mind, I have internal safety dividers/gates inside the house to keep my cats and guest dogs separated if required, ensuring everyone feels comfortable. Furthermore, I treat your pets like family; I provide bottled water for all pets to drink—the exact same water my husband and I drink. All guest pets are introduced slowly to my "clan" and have full access to our family life in a hazard-free environment. In Your Home (House Sitting/Drop-ins): I treat your home with the utmost respect and follow all 'house rules' to the letter. I perform safety checks upon arrival—ensuring gates are latched and water bowls are fresh. Additionally, I am happy to help with small household tasks such as watering your plants or collecting the mail if needed while you are away. Personalized Care: I love rewarding good behavior with treats, but I always prioritize your pet's health. I will always ask you beforehand about treats and specific allergies. My service includes detailed updates, photos, and my signature relaxing massages. I am diligent about following feeding and exercise schedules to ensure your fur baby feels happy and secure. Mi prioridad: Un hogar seguro y divertido Ya sea en mi casa o en la tuya, mi prioridad es mantener un entorno seguro y divertido que imite la rutina natural de tu mascota. En mi casa (Hospedaje/Guardería): Mi hogar es un lugar acogedor y apto para mascotas, exclusivamente para razas pequeñas. Tengo un patio trasero vallado y seguro donde tus pequeños pueden jugar y explorar con total seguridad. Para una protección máxima, superviso personalmente cada salida al baño y sesión de juego al aire libre. Para asegurar que tu mascota reciba el más alto nivel de atención y la mejor experiencia posible, solo recibo a un perro a la vez. Dado que tengo mis propios dos perros pequeños y dos gatos, este límite garantiza un ambiente armonioso donde tu mascota nunca se sentirá abrumada. Para mayor tranquilidad, tengo cercas/puertas de seguridad internas dentro de la casa para mantener a mis gatos y a los perros invitados separados si es necesario, asegurando que todos se sientan cómodos. Además, trato a tus mascotas como si fueran de la familia; el agua que les damos de beber es agua mineral o potable, la misma que bebemos mi esposo y yo. Todos los invitados son introducidos lentamente a mi "clan" y tienen acceso total a nuestra vida familiar en un entorno libre de peligros. En tu casa (Cuidado a domicilio/Visitas): Trato tu hogar con el máximo respeto y sigo todas las "reglas de la casa" al pie de la letra. Realizo chequeos de seguridad al llegar, asegurándome de que las puertas estén cerradas y los recipientes de agua estén frescos. Además, me encantaría ayudarte con pequeñas tareas del hogar, como regar tus plantas o recoger el correo si es necesario mientras estás fuera. Cuidado personalizado: Me encanta premiar el buen comportamiento con golosinas, pero siempre priorizo la salud de tu mascota. Siempre te preguntaré de antemano si tu bebé puede comer premios y si tiene alguna alergia específica. Mi servicio incluye actualizaciones detalladas, fotos y mis masajes relajantes exclusivos. Soy muy diligente en seguir los horarios de alimentación y ejercicio para asegurar que tu mascota se sienta feliz y segura.
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I come from a family that has always had both cats and dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending quality time with them, playing, giving attention, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also like to keep everything clean and organized so your pets can stay relaxed and you can have peace of mind too. My cat is also very friendly with dogs, which has helped me become even more comfortable understanding different pet personalities and behaviors. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets I care for. Feel free to contact me so we can find a routine and schedule that works best for you and your pet. Currently, I mainly offer care in the client’s home, especially because I enjoy keeping pets comfortable in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I have plenty of experience with dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, from walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. With cats, I’ve noticed that many tend to feel more relaxed staying in their own space, so I’m happy to do regular visits throughout the day to give them attention, care, food, clean spaces, and companionship while you’re away.

I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your dog will feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I always treat them with the same care and respect as if they were my own. I am responsible, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels happy and secure while in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they receive the attention they need. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 Caring for pets fits very naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day to make sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention so they feel comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the owner’s instructions and keep the pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe and happy while they are away.
“It’s very hard to find a reliable pet sitter to watch your fur babies But I finally did. Autumn is the sweetest most reliable person. She always keeps me very informed on what’s going on with our cats. I would definitely highly recommend anyone to use her. 😊”


“Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kittens. This was my first time using Rover so I did not know what to expect. However, Taylor communicated very efficiently the entire time and sent great photos to reassure me the babies were ok. The house looked the same way as I left it which means the little were also behaving thanks to Taylor’s visits. Would definitely rebook for another trip!”


About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I've grown up taking care of every pet you can imagine, including dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, fish, lizards, and more! I'm currently a proud cat mom to 2 sweet kitties. Taking care of animals brings me great joy and I can't wait to meet your fur babies! I work fully remote so I am available anytime day or night to care for your fur babies. I can be as flexible as needed. Your pet's safety is my top concern, that's why I pay attention to every detail such as making sure dogs leashes are secure, making sure doors are closed properly, and even making sure your pets food and water bowl is fresh and clean.

About: I’ve lived in Fort Lauderdale for over 5 years and finally have a home of my own and for my dog. I work from home and usually have plenty of time during the day for potty breaks, walks, and play time. I’m also looking to meet dog friends for Freja and friends for me. I have grown up with dogs, cats, birds and fish my entire life. Not only am I here to take care of your pets but to make your life easier. I'm looking to make a little bit of money but also trying to branch out of my routine and meet my neighbors. I am happy to talk to you more about my skills and what you're looking for if you think I could be a match for your needs. I work from home and am fairly flexible. I can do drop ins or stick around during the day if you have wifi I can use. I live in an apartment complex with two dog parks and can take your pets there or on walks around the neighborhood. Whatever works best for you and your pet.
About: I have always had pets around me growing up and I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals and dog breeds. This is my greatest pleasure to be surrounded by them! :) I work Part time as an independent contractor which means I am home almost every day 16-20 hours a day which is a great amount to give your pups the attention they deserve I have an apartment located in fort lauderdale with a gated yard and big green space for your pup to roam and nice dog park and dog beach close by.
About: I've been around animals my entire life, growing up with dogs and now sharing my home with two wonderful cats. I even brought my cats all the way from Germany when I moved to Florida, because they're family and leaving them behind was never an option. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail and genuine interest in getting to know each animal's personality. My own cats are leash-trained, well-behaved and a little shy around strangers, so I understand that building trust takes time and that every pet has different needs and boundaries. I also regularly walk my neighbor's dog and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. I'm reliable, responsible and respectful of people's homes. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, and I'll treat them with the same love, patience and care I give my own. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday life. I have two cats of my own, and I regularly take my neighbor's dog for walks. Since I currently have a flexible schedule, I can easily make time for pet sitting, dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, including weekends. I enjoy being outdoors, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. I'm also happy to adapt to each pet's usual routine because I know how important consistency and familiar habits are, especially when their owners are away. I believe both dogs and cats are happiest when they can stick to their familiar routines, especially when their owners are away. That's why I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. For dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, walks, playtime and attention, always adjusting to their age, energy level and individual needs. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors and spending time with dogs, whether that means a nice long walk or simply keeping them company at home. For cats, I take care of feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime and, of course, cuddles if they want them. Having two cats of my own, I understand that some cats are outgoing and affectionate, while others need patience and personal space. I'm respectful of each owner's home, follow instructions carefully and pay attention to the little things that make each pet feel comfortable. I also love sending photos and updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with big breeds that taught me the ropes of responsible pet care. Last year, I welcomed my own little Chihuahua, Goose—who we affectionately call ‘Silly Goose,’ ‘Mr. Goose,’ ‘Gooselini,’ and ‘Goosey Boy.’ Goose and I have bonded over countless games of fetch (his absolute favorite), daily walks, and energetic play sessions at the dog park. With a passion for training, I’ve self-taught Goose and myself the essentials like threshold training, basic commands, and place. We’re still working through some of his quirks, but every day is a new adventure. I bring this same dedication and love to every dog I care for, treating them like they’re my own. Although I currently work in office full time, I’m still available for walks and care during weekdays and weekends. I’ll work to make it work! I understand the importance of caring for your home and pets with the utmost respect. I follow the principle of leaving things better than I found them, so you can trust that everything will be in great shape when you return.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with love and attention. I also have a lovely 10-year-old Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand firsthand the responsibility and joy of being a dedicated dog parent. I’m experienced with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs and always strive to provide calm, attentive, and reliable. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m available before 8 AM, after 5 PM on weekdays, and anytime on weekends. I follow each pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe and cared for. At my home, pets enjoy a secure, gated neighborhood and access to a private fenced yard.

About: Hello my name is Gael and I'm the proud parent of a 14 year old Pug named Sancho. I love dogs and grew up with both big and small dogs. I enjoy meeting new furry friends and giving them the love and care they deserve while you are away. We live in a quite nice neighborhood and enjoy going for long walks at night. I was previously a dog sitter with DogVacay so I've had experience with different types of dogs and updating parents regularly through the app. Note that since Sanch is around 23 lbs I would like to care for small and medium size doggiesthat are also around the same size and no more than 25lbs. I am also able to administer medication and accommodate any special feeding needs. I work from home and I'm available to take your doggie out when needed and attend to any other needs during the day. They usually sleep in the bed or their own if they want. I live in a quiet and safe townhouse apartment with stairs, small patio and green adjacent areas for walks and potty brakes in the shade.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other small pets, and I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic puppies or senior pets that need a gentler pace, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I plan my day around scheduled visits so I’m never rushing through their time. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine, keep their space clean and safe, and pay attention to their behavior and needs. I’m also big on communication, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: Jessica grew up on a mini farm with quite the variety of animals or pets. When you name your chickens, they become pets, right? Jessica is a dog person at heart and really misses having a pup of her own to greet at the end of the day. Over the last... 10 years, she has house and pet sat for family, friends, and complete strangers (via app) to fill that void.

About: As a devoted dog mom, I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust. I understand that every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to provide a calm, welcoming home where your pup feels like part of the family, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re receiving the same care and attention I’d want for my own dog. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life because I care for my own dog, Tucker. Since my daily routine already revolves around walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love, welcoming another dog into my home fits in naturally and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Safety is my top priority in my home. I maintain a clean, secure, and dog-friendly environment where pets are always supervised, kept away from potential hazards, and treated like family. I carefully follow each dog’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

“Tracey was grrrreat!! I have a senior dog (16 yo Brussels Griffon) so he needs a little extra care. I loved Tracey’s experience with senior dogs and she actually used to have a Brussels mix. She was amazing at communicating, stayed with him extra long to make sure he was comfortable and sent me pictures. 10/10 stars for Tracey.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakland Park
This was the 2nd time Angie came over for my chop. She even stayed a little bit longer than what I paid for she is really great with my dog and I'm thankful that she has been able to give my dog company while I'm at work I know she goes above and beyond what I ask for

Daniela cared for my 2 rabbits for 2 weeks and I will definitely be booking her again. This was my first time leaving the rabbits with a “stranger”, and they were so well taken care of. Daniela’s amazing with communication and I highly recommend her if you want someone to care for your pets.

I am so grateful to Krystal for the last-minute help with my dog, Sadi! Sadi was so well cared for, and getting updates and photos gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Highly reliable, kind, and responsive—I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

Marissa was truly AMAZING! 🥹❤️ I reached out to her last minute after someone cancelled on me, and she was the first person willing to step in and take care of my pups. She kept me updated throughout and made sure they were fed, happy, and well taken care of. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her! 🐶

Aaron was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, his communication was excellent. Responsive, professional, and reassuring. It was clear he genuinely cares about the dogs, and seeing how comfortable, happy, and affectionate they were with him spoke volumes. They took to him immediately, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would happily trust Aaron with our dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive dog walker!

Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but with Suzanne, I have complete peace of mind. She looks after my two dogs with the exact same love, patience, and attention to detail that I do. She keeps me updated, manages their routines effortlessly, and my pups absolutely adore her—their tails start wagging the second they see her! If you are looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Kara was wonderful with our Yorkie, Poco and our two cats. Poco had special requirements as he is a bit anxious and she was kind to him and he even let her pet him. The cats were well taken care off. Kara updated us with pictures and had good communication. She demonstrated resourcefulness when a bull frog came into the cat area, she protected the cats, removed the frog and even cleaned the area the frog got "dirty". :) We were happy with her visits.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oakland Park is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 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 7,173 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oakland Park. 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.
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 Oakland Park 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 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.
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.

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 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.
