About: Hi! I’m Taylor. I’m an all around animal lover. I’ve had animals my whole life and I truly am one of those people that care more about animals than anything else. All my animals are rescues. My true love is for dogs. My current job is working with dogs. As I’m getting older my passion for animals is becoming stronger and I’m learning more things about them. I’m a fun energetic person who would love to take your dog on a walk and show them lots of love and affection while you’re away. I’m also a pretty good photographer, so I’ll be sure to capture your dogs special moments. Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I create my own hours and have a very flexible routine. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, potty breaks, playtime, and adjust to their individual needs throughout the day. Safety is very important in my home. I have a fully fenced yard, extra crates if needed, and friendly, lovable pets who are used to being around other animals. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Megan is such a wonderful human! She was so easy to work and to understand our needs. It's obvious she's a dog person. We were so happy to have found her. We've had many bad experiences with sitters and I can't begin to explain the relief it gave us finding her!

Imma was amazing! We stumbled upon this site the day we were going out of town and within minutes of signing up, Imma responded back and she was available to meet to exchange keys and walk through the apartment. During her visits, she was very responsive and shared photos. Additionally, when we got back to the apartment, it was cleaned and we appreciate her time and effort!!! We will definitely use her again!

About: I grew up with a dog and 2 cats at home, so I have experience with both. Additionally, my parents directed most of the feeding and walking responsibility of having a dog to me from a very young age. Thus, I became the go-to sitter for my neighbors and family members! I would baby sit dogs, cats, and younger cousins. I still babysit my partner and my roommate’s pets whenever they need it , and I am very lenient with schedule and pricing. I am not working at all besides this! My job is school and hanging out with fur babies! I am only in school for two hours a day for three days of the week. Most of my classes are online therefore my schedule is very flexible. Everyone in my apartment loves animals so having them roam free will never be a problem! I am against keeping your pet/s in cages, and I can guarantee they’ll be surrounded with love constantly. Additionally in my apartment complex, there are many dog parks and walking trails that I’m sure your pet will love! My apartment also has a good view if your pet likes to sit by windows and watch people pass by!

About: I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision, and I truly appreciate that trust. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and caring environment. I will always keep your dog happy, well-fed, exercised, and on their normal routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or following special care instructions, I will make sure your dog’s needs always come first. I will treat your pet like one of my own and do everything I can to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. I don’t usually have a busy schedule, so I’m often available to care for your furry friend. If possible, I kindly ask that you book at least three days in advance. This helps me plan my schedule and ensures I can give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I carefully follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care instructions. I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe environment. I also provide lots of affection, exercise, and mental stimulation based on each pet’s personality and energy level. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind knowing they are being treated like family.

About: Hello.My name pronouncedNe-Ka. I am a lifelong-animal lover. I've had dogs my entire life, and they have always been an important part of my life. I recently lost my 16-year-old Chihuahua, and while my heart is still healing, I realized how much joy being around animals brings me. That's what inspired me to join Rover. I absolutely love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. In fact, my love for animals runs so deep that I've been a vegetarian for nearly 20 years. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your furry friends with the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own. I am very flexible to meet the needs of your pet and make them my top priority while in my care. I allow pets to have whatever you permit them to have-treats, cuddles in the couch we’re just playtime at the park. With plenty of pictures and videos for you. I also have experience with cat sitting. I’m just a woman who loves animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, companionship while you're away, or extra love and attention, I'd be honored to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I prefer not to have any in home boarding at my home but in willing to come to yours. If you don’t see a calendar date just reach out to me. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. I mostly work from home so my days are flexible. I am flexible to meet the needs of both the pet parent and the pet. I care for pets per the instructions set by the owner. I am very attentive and make your pet my priority, treating them like my own.

About: I have 5 dogs (3 miniature schnauzers, 1 giant schnauzer, and one small terrier mix). 2 of the 3 minis are senior dogs. Both of them were rescues and were traumatized. My 15 year old was rescued at 3 to 4 months because of the previous owner not wanting her anymore. My 11 year old was rescued at 7 years old from a severely abusive home. The other is a puppy, and the giant schnauzer is 2 years of age that were purchased from reputable breeders! My 1 year terrier was also abused and she came from the broward animal shelter. I also have a cat, and she’s 7 years old. I adopted her from the humane society and she’s the sweetest cat. I do have experience with traumatized animals, giving pills by mouth, brushing, brushing their teeth, cleaning their ears, and due to the amount of animals I have, I have a lot of patience! I also trained all of my dogs. I am not certified, but I did teach them basic tricks like sit, lay down, crate, and give me a paw. Besides that, I also have two bearded dragons. They are both in their own separate 4x2x2 enclosures. I am okay with feeding them bugs, as I do so twice to three times a week and greens for the rest of the days! I am a full time student, but I mostly stay at home due to online classes. I do pet care any chance I get due to having so many pets! Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable and as happy as can be. I can give them medicine if they need it, or brush their fur, brush their teeth, clean their ears, and whatever else! This is what I do with my pets at home, so I wouldn’t mind doing it for yours. I also am okay with walking dogs, playing with them, and maybe teaching a trick or two!

About: Hi! I’m Yulia — a reliable and caring pet sitter with 8 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including 4 years of professional experience at a dog hotel. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely love and take seriously. During my time at the dog hotel, I worked hands-on with multiple dogs at once, managing feeding routines, playtime, kennel care, safety monitoring, and behavior awareness in a fast-paced environment. This experience taught me how to recognize stress signals, handle high-energy dogs, support shy or anxious pets, and ensure every dog stayed safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a sitter, I focus on maintaining your pet’s routine, providing lots of attention, exercise, and affection, and creating a calm, secure environment. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra patience or structure. I also follow instructions carefully, including feeding schedules and any special care needs. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I make communication a priority. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. I treat every dog like family and always care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away! While i am not home all day, your pup will never be alone. If i am gone for work, my dad or sister are home and help me take care of your baby. I have a fenced yard where i let all the doggies go out to go potty. They are indoor the full day and are allowed on furniture! My shi tzu baby sleeps with me every night and does not mind sharing her space with other doggos🫶🏼

About: I've taken care of dogs for 12 years. I love tending to their special and specific needs. I have had dogs as pets since the age of 5 and since then I have loved caring for dogs always. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs. I have experience in administering medications like pills, ointments, and injections and I also can do first aid and CPR. I also can do dog grooming services like bathing, nail trimming, hair trimming and flea treatments. Dogs are very special to me and they deserve the world and the best care possible! I am dedicated full-time to taking care of dogs so I have all the time in the world to give unlimited bathroom breaks, walks, hugs, cuddles, treats and yummy food for the dogs in my care. I live in an apartment on the first floor. I make sure I have my eyes and ears on your pets at all times. I make sure all food is locked up for safety to avoid accidents and I make sure that your pet's bed is in my living room so that they have plenty of room to play with their toys. I always make sure they are well taken care of and provide plenty of fresh drinking water and food for them to eat. I also provide treats for the dogs in my care with the pet parent's permission. I provide daily updates and pictures with all of my bookings so that the owners always know how their pet is doing.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Opa-locka

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Opa-locka on Rover is $21.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 6,568 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Opa-locka. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Opa-locka stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Opa-locka. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
