“Xiomara was an amazing cat sitter. Our cats absolutely adored her. We have two kittens and she took very detailed notes and plenty of pictures and videos. It was such a relief to leave our fur babies with someone we could trust. If you’re looking for a good sitter she is it.”

About: I’ve been growing with dog,having my own dogs,I also been volunteering in my country (France) before move to Miami and I’m actually volunteering at Miami Dade animals services. I’m a real dog lover… The daily routine is usually walking,playing,petting,and feeding if you need and fresh water. Before leaving I’ll make sure there is not any sign of sickness or any other. My experience make me make sure the dogs or any other dogs,kids or peoples are safe. Back yard and doors has to be closed to make sure the dogs couldn’t escape before removing the leach.

“Ricardo and Carlos were fantastic! They dropped in to check on my cat and were incredibly timely and reliable throughout. I really appreciated their attention to detail and the care they showed—my cat was clearly comfortable and well looked after. It’s not easy to find people you can fully trust with your pet, but I absolutely do with Ricardo and Carlos. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and thoughtful sitters!”

About: I love providing animals with the best care because they could feel stressed without their owners. I love taking away anny type of anxiety for them. I’m currently a college student so I have plenty of time to check in with your fur babies everyday and a few times a week I have a fenced yard and a cat who is vaccinated. I make sure they have their necessities and provide them with what makes them feel safe whether it’s space, company, etc.

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with over 5 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m also very comfortable with dogs who aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of other dogs or people. My own dog is reactive, so I’m used to being patient, paying attention to body language, avoiding situations that may overwhelm a dog, and giving them the space they need. Because of this, I understand that every dog is different and that some pups need a little extra patience and care. I’ve mainly done dog walking and sitting in clients’ homes since I’m unable to board dogs at my own house due to my dog’s reactivity. I’m reliable, responsible, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Most importantly, I absolutely LOVE dogs and would be so excited to spend time with yours! 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student at FIU, but I have a pretty flexible class schedule. I have two classes on Monday and Wednesday, one class on Tuesday and Thursday, and no classes on Fridays or throughout the weekend. Because of this, I’m at my apartment often and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I also have my car here, so I am able to easily commute to different locations. I’m also a very active person and love going on walks, so taking a dog on longer walks is something I would genuinely enjoy. I live right near campus, and there is a grassy area directly below my apartment where people regularly take their dogs out, which makes quick potty breaks really convenient. I also have one roommate who loves dogs, so your pup would definitely be welcomed and cared for while they’re with me! I’m happy to work pet care into my schedule and make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and attention that I would give my own. I have a genuine passion for animals and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also very attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, especially because I have experience with dogs who may be nervous or reactive. If I ever have any concerns about a pet, I will communicate them to the owner right away. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive environment and make sure the dog is happy and well cared for.

About: Love animals and I will keep them very safe and make sure nothing happens to them. I am very responsible and know a lot about animal care due to my 4 years studies in high school in veterinary major and volunteered at a vet clinic with 177 hours. I have also pet sit a house with 4 cats and 2 dogs. I am free anytime in the week just let me know in advance and I’ll let you know. My schedule is pretty flexible and I can manage to fit your fur babies into it! I care animals by making sure they have the right amount of food not too much not to little and playing with them so they get some activity and playtime. If it is a dog I will take them out to walk as many times as requested. I am very responsible when it comes to animals. For cats I always make sure to never let them be able to even try to go outside if they are an only indoor cat.

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was six. After his passing I knew I wanted to help more dogs out so I started volunteering at my local animal shelter. I enjoy letting them have time outside of their kennel. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have time to care for your dogs! I’m usually free towards the afternoon and on the weekends! With my experience at volunteering at an animal shelter I’ve had the opportunity to work with both cats and dogs! Most shelter dogs are extremely excited to get out of their kennel which has allowed me to calm them down that way I ensure they are let safely out.

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for animals. Throughout my pet-sitting journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring not only for furry four-legged friends, but also barn animals, reptiles, rodents, and aquatic pets. I am a reliable, communicative, loving, and attentive sitter who provides not just the experience your pet needs, but also the love, care, and peace of mind every pet parent deserves. Pet sitting is my full-time profession, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and flexible scheduling. I intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept to ensure each pet receives my full attention, so early reservations are recommended. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. I maintain a clean, secure environment and closely monitor behavior to ensure comfort and well-being. I provide regular updates with photos and detailed communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 5 years, including pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ll treat your pup like they’re part of my own family and make sure you feel at ease while they’re with me. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in my care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep a close eye on their behavior, and respect their normal routine and boundaries.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. Our 12 year old Belgian Malinois is the heart of our home, so I know what senior dog care looks like day to day, including slower walks, joint comfort, and keeping routines steady. Because my Malinois is reactive to other dogs, I understand how stressful it is for anxious or reactive pets and their owners, and I know how to keep things calm and controlled. I also have a horse, which has given me real experience with daily care and giving medications. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for meds and special needs. Pets are already a big part of my daily routine. Between walks, feeding, and caring for our senior Malinois, my day naturally revolves around animals. My work schedule is flexible, so I can be home for much of the day, give regular potty breaks and walks, and keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. I’m happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions and send updates so you know how they’re doing. In my home, pets get a calm, structured routine. They’ll have regular walks, meals on your schedule, plenty of cuddle time, and a comfortable spot to rest. I keep a close eye on how they’re eating, drinking, and acting, and I send updates so you know they’re doing well. In your home, I stick to the routine your pet already knows, including their feeding times, walks, and medications. I’ll also bring in the mail, water plants, and leave things tidy so you come home to a normal house and a happy pet. Either way, I follow your instructions closely and I’m always happy to talk through special needs before a stay.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Bella while I was away! She came by for drop-in visits exactly as scheduled and made sure Bella was well taken care of every time. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. It was clear that Bella was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention during each visit. I truly appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve raised a Pomeranian and currently have a 4-year-old cockapoo, so I truly understand small dog personalities and needs. I've trained both the dogs myself to sit, paw, spin, and lay so I’m comfortable reading behavior and reinforcing positive habits. Hello! I am available to drop ins on weekends at anytime! I can dog walk/dog sit/cat sit anytime after 4:30pm on weekdays including late at night! As a dog owner who has raised and trained two puppies, I understand body language, proper leash handling, and how to prevent unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I am respectful of routines and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and training consistency. I make sure doors and gates are always secured and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe environments.

About: I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and rodents. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I love all types of animals and I wouldn’t mind looking after. What sets me apart other walkers I make sure that i take the dog for a walk atlease for 20min I make sure I have water for them and extra toys so I could play with them so they could feel entertained because sometime keeping your pets home for too long gets them bored and frustrated I make a routine and I stick and follow through .

Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.

Kristel was absolutely wonderful with my dog Pepper! Pepper can be quite stubborn and is usually hesitant around new people, but Kristel’s patience and genuine care completely won her over. From the very beginning, Kristel showered Pepper with love and attention, taking time to let her warm up and always making sure she felt comfortable. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear that Pepper was relaxed, happy, and truly in the best hands. When I returned home, Pepper was her usual cheerful self, maybe even a bit better behaved! I’m so grateful for Kristel’s dedication and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pup as much as you do! Thank you, Kristel, for taking such amazing care of Pepper!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Olympia Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
