“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!”
“Michelle was able to help us in less than 12 hours notice. She came over to meet our dog before the appt, all our pets loved her, she even asked to stay longer and walk our dog because she had an open day to which we of course appreciated. We only needed her to let our dog out to pee but she did all the extra love and even gave our cats love and attention even though we didn’t book that. Our dog seemed very happy in the pictures she took as he has a very transparent face on how he feels. She’s very nice, would definitely feel comfortable using her again.”
About: I speak both English and Spanish! I’m originally from Patagonia, where stray dogs are a common sight. I adopted two dogs of my own and learned how to understand their needs, build trust, and train them with patience and positive reinforcement. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s boarding, house sitting, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, care, and attention I gave my own! 🐶❤️ I’m currently available, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily manage my time around pet care. I’m also a photographer, which means I can work around different schedules—and yes, I’m a pet photographer too! 😉 I have a fenced backyard with a small tree where pets can enjoy some outdoor time safely. I also have a pet net on my door, so they can go inside or outside comfortably while staying safe. I don't use to listen music. I prefer to read or work on my computer so they won't suffer loud noises. I also have a car in case a pickup or drop-off is needed. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in my home or my client’s home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 6,461 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Opa-locka. 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 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 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.

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.
