“Erick was amazing. I’m so glad that I discovered him for so many reasons. Location is close to where we live, he resides in a home which gives my wife and I less stress about being secured while outside and not cooped up inside a small space. Erick sent daily updates about our little girl along with photos. He followed all of our daily routines for Paris which is important due to her health high demands. I was pleased that he allowed me to view his home before deciding to select his service. This gave me peace of mind and the ability to see that Erick kept a very clean house - unlike a previous experience I had that left our dog with an infection. I will definitely use Erick over and over when we leave town.”
“We left our girl Mimi with Yara for four days, and we're very grateful for her attention and care during that time. Mimi's health is pretty fragile, and she ended up getting sick while we were away, which was stressful. But Yara kept us updated constantly, so we never had to wonder how she was doing. She took really good care of her. Mimi has a hard time with stairs, so Yara carried her up. When Mimi had a couple of accidents on her bed, Yara washed it and didn't make it a big deal. She also changed up her medication when the vet recommended it, no hesitation. Honestly, with everything that happened, we couldn't have asked for more. Mimi was in great hands.”
“Amanda is the best! She took amazing care of our fur baby and went the extra mile to make sure she was comfortable and happy 😊 will definitely rebook her in the future. Thanks Amanda!!”
“Jeffrey proved to be an exceptional caretaker for Charlie. He regularly took Charlie for invigorating walks and allowed him to revel in the expansiveness of his backyard.

“I cannot express how pleased I am with the Care that Andy and his father provided to my dog. We got pictures and videos multiple times per day, they were very flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for walks, kept us informed, and he had a great time playing with their dog, Luna 🌓. I truly could not have asked for a better experience. The next time we leave town, I already know who my dog sitter will be. I HIGHLY recommend Andy if you need someone to watch your furry family member.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience! She took wonderful care of my fur baby and kept me updated with photos and text messages throughout his stay, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Denny had a great time, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him! I would definitely book again! 🐾❤️
This is my first time leaving my furry baby Buttercup. It was hard for me to do, but with Ms. Yanexis this experience was rather peaceful, my doggy was very happy to stay, I got photos and videos daily of my Buttercup interaction in the home. This wad the best decision I have made by leaving her in Yanexis care. This lady is great with other pet owners animal, she is caring, loving and compassionate. My doggy love her and was very happy in the home. I highly highly recommend ms. Yanexis to any pet owners needing to leave their pets to be care for while being away for a short or long while. The best person to watch your 4 legged furry baby is ms. Yanexis. Rover thank you so so much you all are doing an excellent job when selecting pet caregivers. Thanks again and I will sure be a returning customer. Extremely satisfied with Yanexis H.
AMAZING! She was the best sitter for my pup. I was super nervous leaving him behind but she was so patient with him and welcomed him with so much love he had a great time and not to mention she was super responsive and sent pics and videos everyday. 10/10 recommend and will make sure to book her everytime we go on vacation.
Nathalie was beyond amazing with my Lulu! It was our first time meeting her and she went above and beyond with her incredible care, her updates and her flexibility. I will 1000% be recommending her to all my friends and family and look forward to utilizing her services again soon!
I took a chance on a new sitter, and I'm so glad I did! Matteo and his family made us feel right at home. They were very communicative, sending me videos and photos throughout the day. The highlight was watching my dog, Levi, become best friends with Matteo’s daughter. They came in as strangers and left as great friends. I highly recommend them—10/10!
This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with someone caring for my dog! Melissa and her family went above and beyond in every possible way. They were incredibly supportive, attentive, and truly treated my dog like part of their own family. They followed all feeding schedules perfectly, made sure he was comfortable at all hours, and he had an amazing time playing with their dog, they became instant buddies! Melissa also provided daily updates with photos and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind and showed just how happy and well cared for he was. She made sure my dog felt welcomed, loved, and safe from day one. If a 10 star rating were available, I would give it without hesitation that’s how exceptional and attentive she was. If you’re considering leaving your dog with anyone, I truly cannot stress this enough: Melissa is, by miles, the best option you could ever choose.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Opa-locka can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Opa-locka home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Opa-locka.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Opa-locka. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Opa-locka sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
