“Thank you again Nicole for everything you do for my fur kids. The peace of mind I have when I know you're taking care of them is awesome. To anyone reading this review, Nicole is definitely the right choice for you and your extended family.”
“Deena was great. She came on the right days and times and was so great to our cat Peter. She was very communicative and helpful. She listened to the directions perfectly.”
“This is my second time booking Leo! He showed up exactly when scheduled and remembered details from the first booking that I had forgotten to re-share. Thank you so much for taking care of my two little ones!”
“The dogs looked happier in pictures walking with her than they do walking with me! Communication was great, pictures were cute, I came home to a happy doggy household!”
“Erika took such great care of my 9 year old dog while I was away. Since he's an older dog, I always worry about leaving him, but she handled everything so well and gave him so much love and attention. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you Erika!”
About: I have experience with boarding and walking a variety of dogs from young, untrained puppies to larger dogs. I can be relied on to check-in/walk your pets while you are at work or can take on longer multiple day stays. I’m currently a biology PhD student and my schedule currently allows for great flexibility to adapt to your pet’s needs. I’m highly communicative and excited to work with you so you feel at ease leaving your pet in my care :) I am currently a graduate student with a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to work from home if needed so I can give your pets greater attention. Otherwise, I may go in for a morning or afternoon, but have the flexibility to return home for frequent walks. I currently live with my boyfriend in Victoria Park in Ft. Lauderdale in a very pet friendly, walkable neighborhood. I’m only a couple blocks from Holiday Park where I often take any pets that come to stay with me :)
About: Whether it’s a neighborhood walk or playing with a squeaky toy, I love the energy of having a furry friend around. Our family dog is getting old and having more animals in my life is just what I need🦴 I work freelance so I make my own hours! Perfect for me to fit in some care, attention, and treats for your pet❤️ (and would be a great mid-day pick-me-up) In your own home, I would be watching them closely: making sure the surrounding area is neat and comfortable for them, setting alarms for walks & meals, and always keeping a toy or two around! (And endless cuddles, of course)
About: I've owned pets since 2013 and often dogsit my friends' dogs if they're away for an event, a weekend, or even a week at a time. I lived in Barbados for 2 years, where there are dozens of stray animals roaming the streets. I took in and rehabilitated an orange cat (featured in my photos) that has been brought to the US and is happily living in NYC with her new family. I do not have any pets in my apartment at the moment- my dog, Honey, is across the country with my mom. I have so much love to give pets and enjoy spoiling pets with the attention they deserve. The qualities I have as a graduating medical student directly translate into my care for pets- being punctual, patient, and passionate. I'm a full-time medical student with a fluctuating schedule. My weekends are free for boarding, walks, etc., but weekdays depend on my schedule for the given month. Weekday work schedule typically starts at 7am, and my availability will most often start at 5pm (or earlier some days). When I am home, I integrate my pet into everything I do. I love their company on the couch, bringing them on my daily walks, and even the puppy eyes when I’m cooking. I live with my partner in a pet-friendly condominium on the 5th floor. We have a partially-fenced yard with grass surrounding the condo and a balcony with our unit. Our front door has a double key-lock, with no possibility of a pet escaping. It is a large, 2-bedroom condo with plenty of space to roam in the open-concept living room and kitchen. There's plenty of unobstructed room for pet belongings (food, toys, bedding, etc.). I do not have any other animals living in the unit, I do not have a crate, and I love animals sleeping in the room/bed with me (if owner allows).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, bunnies since I was 12. I love all animals and I have experience with many different animals. I also worked in a pet shop with birds, reptiles, dogs and cats for 2 years. I’m currently part time, but I have a really flexible schedule. Can work any day morning, afternoon or night. Any time to take care and play with the baby’s. I have a big fenced wall with a really friendly dog to play with. I also have a big home and I’m not picky about them being on the couch…
About: I've never worked with the app before, but I've had my pet for 4 years and occasionally babysit for some of my family and friends' dogs. I’m currently working during the week but I have a plenty free time during weekends so I’m available and can help you with your pups !! I have one little Javanese to keep your baby company. I approach each pet with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. I communicate clearly with clients about their pet’s behavior, mood, and any concerns. I maintain clean food/water bowls, litter areas, and sleeping spaces. I follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully, monitor pets during walks or playtime, and never leave them unsupervised . I keep emergency contact info, vet details, and any special care instructions on hand. Every pet is unique for me
“Thanks God!!!. We found Dayelin to take care of our babies. She always responded promptly for her appointments. She arrived on time as is loving and with our babies and our family, and above all, responsible and mindful of our instructions. She will be the one taking care of them on our next trip, and we are confident she will be do an excellent job and company for my beloved babies”
About: Animals have always been my passion, and I've dedicated both my education and career to caring for them. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences and have experience working with animals in a variety of professional settings. My background includes emergency veterinary medicine, where I learned to stay calm under pressure and recognize signs of illness or distress. I've also worked in a dairy cattle science laboratory, on a working farm, and in large animal care at Zoo Miami, giving me experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently work full-time at Royal Vet in Miami Beach, where I continue to expand my knowledge of animal health and welfare. My experience allows me to provide attentive, knowledgeable care, whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, or simply lots of love and playtime. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in experienced and caring hands. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I work full-time at a veterinary hospital, so my days revolve around animal health and well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. My schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting before and after work, on weekends, and on my days off. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always strive to keep their schedule as consistent as possible. In my client's home, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure pets receive plenty of love, enrichment, and attention. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. With my background in veterinary medicine and animal sciences, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and can respond appropriately if any concerns arise. Above all, my goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away.
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: I have taken care of pets my whole life, and have taken care of my friends pets when they were out of town. I want to make sure they are well taken care of and give them everything they need. I currently go to school and have a part-time job and would love to take care of pets and fit them into my schedule. I would make all the time in the world for them. I make sure they are well fed and hydrated. Scoop out the litter box after every use. I play with them when they’re hyper and let them get rest when it’s needed. I make sure they trust me by warming up to them.
About: I have experience in cat sitting. I’ve done it on and off work a couple of years now. I always ensure that your fur babies will get the attention they need and clean up their environment. I am currently a stay at home mom who is looking for work. My schedule is pretty open and I’m able to go take care of your fur babies at any time of the day. My cat Momo is an indoor cat who loves to lounge in the sun all day. Momo requires medication everyday which he willingly takes in a pill pocket. He loves to play and run around the house. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of. I will give them all the attention they need and I will make sure that their litter is cleaned up and they have plenty of food and water.
About: I have cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to older dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for by providing plenty of exercise, affection, playtime, and following each pet’s routine and owner’s instructions carefully. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and get plenty of attention before I leave and again as soon as I get home. My weekends are completely open, which gives me lots of flexibility for walks, playtime, and overnight care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them feels like something I look forward to, not just another task. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of attention. I keep their space clean, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and provide updates to owners when needed.
“In the 6 years Frodo has been with us, we’ve only ever had friends and family look after him while we were away. This time neither could help. Thank goodness for the Rover app which put us in touch with Dayna. I felt comfortable chatting with her and when she arrived to visit Frodo, I knew she would be perfect. They bonded instantly. I felt he would be well looked after. I was not disappointed at all. The daily check in updates and cards were wonderful. I am so glad Dayna was there to help us on such short notice. I will definitely make use of her other services, such as, socializing our Frodo and doggie day care.”
About: From a very young age I was raised with animals, parrots, rabbits, dogs, cats and so on, this has caused a love like that all of them, and wanting to take care of them My flexibility with time means that I can take care of them since I am a mom and this also contributes to my work as a livelihood for my family, I am willing to follow instructions so that my clients feel satisfied with my work and can continue to trust me to take care of their pets Currently my time is quite flexible since I am a mom and a housewife, this job is of great help to me, since I can manage the schedule according to your personal needs and whatever you need me to take care of your pet I follow all the instructions given by you, I love to play and take them for a walk, animals are the best medicine for human beings, they fill me with a lot of happiness and what better way than to do it like a job with a lot of love and care

Nicole has been absolutely incredible only after two weeks. My breed of dog takes time to adjust to new friends and family. Nicole has been able to patiently developed a bond to this point which we are confident will grow in time. This deserves mention and to be brought to the attention of others.
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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
