“Rho was absolutely amazing. From the first time we met here, we felt completely comfortable welcoming her into our home and taking care of our 11 week old puppy. The entire time she house sat for us we were constantly updated with messages, videos and pictures. We could feel how much love she had for our puppy and we knew we left her in good hands. She was so good playing with our puppy and keeping her entertained. We would 100% recommend Rho to anyone with pets and will definitely be using her again!”


“I can’t thank Vanessa enough. I was away in Istanbul for 28 days, and she stayed in my home to care for my dog,. She treated him like a baby—with love, attention, and incredible care. Every day, she sent me updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt like I had left Coko with family. I returned home feeling calm, happy, and incredibly grateful. Vanessa is professional, warm, and trustworthy. Thank you for everything!”


“10/10. The most loving, attentive, grateful and dedicated person I could have found to take care of my dog. Linda stayed at my place and she took her of my dog while leaving the place just as I left it! She took the time to get to know the dog and me and I appreciated that so much. She would send me daily videos and pictures and she looked so happy and well taken care of. Thank you so so much Linda!!! An angel.”


About: Hi! I’m TK – your pet’s next favorite human! 🐾 First things first, thank you for stopping by! I’m Takira, but feel free to call me TK or Kira. A quick personal note: I’m a below-the-knee amputee on my left leg—but I see it as an adaptation, not a limitation. I live by the mantra: “You are greater than any situation pitted against you.” That strength and positivity flows into everything I do, especially how I care for pets. I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—there’s never been a time I didn’t have a furry friend by my side. From raising dogs since I was four, to pet sitting and walking professionally, I understand the love, energy, and trust it takes to be a great sitter. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs to run or a senior dog who needs gentle care, I’ve got the experience and patience to meet them where they are. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Biology with minors in Africana Studies and Art, and I’m a former track athlete—so I’ve got both the smarts and the stamina to keep up with your pets. My schedule is wide open aside from gym visits in the evening, so I’m super flexible and ready when you are. What really sets me apart is that I love this work. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and playful space where your pets feel at home, even when you’re away. I’m also building toward opening a dog-focused care and entertainment business in the near future—so every client I meet is part of that bigger dream. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved companion. I can’t wait to meet your pet and become part of their extended family! 🐶❤️ I have no other job or obligations aside from when I only work out at night 4-5 times a week. I’m super flexible for you and your furbabies I have a fenced in yard that is super huge, also a separate fenced area from the main yard for dogs who need a bit more privacy.


“Nicole is awesome! An absolute angel. She took great care of my fur babies while staying at my house and caring for my senior dog. It is not easy to care for my senior dog but Nicole went about and beyond to make sure she got the care and attention she needs. I would absolutely book Nicole again in the future and will recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”



About: I grew up surrounded by pets. I started to offer pet-sitting services in 2007 with Dogs and cats. I am working with the Rover's app since 2014. Then, in 2015, I adopted a female dog, Akila. I would love to spend time with your flurry friend and feel the joy and happiness pets constantly provide. In 2019, I adopted a second female dog, Mia. My dogs are pet friendly. My job is to make sure your pet has fun while you are away. My days are very flexible. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I have a part time job that is very flexible. I have the time to feed and walk my pets in the mornings and then work for a couple of hours to get back to pet sitting, my main and favorite thing to do. I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs, and a cat. I usually bring my cat to my room. I have a crate I can use if needed.

“Abby was an absolute dream to work with and provided care for my kiddos that was above and beyond. I was able to fully relax knowing that my animals, one of which is partially blind and fully diabetic, were so well taken care of. My space was also left immaculate and I was so appreciative.”

About: Being an active duty military member and moving a lot I always meet a lot of people, and have helped a lot of my shipmates by dog sitting when they go on leave or work long shifts and need me to let their dogs out for a walk. I Have helped take care of many animals and it brings a lot of joy to me being around them since I don’t have any family around since my family lives far. I live a very active lifestyle and am always in the gym, so if you need me to take your pet for a long walk that is no problem for me at all! Feel free to reach out if you need any help. Hello y’all! I have a very open schedule. I work about 10 days a month, so I have a lot of free time to be able to help you out with your fur babies, and I live a very active lifestyle so taking the dogs out for long walks is no issue for me at all:) If you ever need me to pet sit I will be sure to follow all your instructions/rules. I am all about respect and good communication. Here to help.

About: I have been around animals since I was born. As I got older I was the main caretaker. I would take our dogs out 3 times a day for 30-60 minutes. As for our cats I would provide a stimulating enviornment. I made sure our animals had a fulfilled life till the end. I am currently being a caretaker for my sick father from Wednesday night to Saturday. I am available all day from Sunday till Wednesday noon. I have a fenced backyard with 3 dogs that would love to have more friends to play with. I can also crate train them if needed!

About: Big animal lover! I have 2 rescues currently at home and I’ve had every animal from birds and turtles to cats and dogs. I am very reliable and don’t worry I will send you constant picture updates on your fur baby! I pet care fits into my current schedule easily. I will be going away to university in September so I have a bunch of free time currently :) I want to make sure to get all the information needed from the parents to make sure the fur baby does not feel uncomfortable with me, I have a very skiddish pup so I know how difficult it can be for them to get used to new people.

About: I’ve been around all sorts of dogs & personalities since I was little, taking care of family & friends pets brings me joy. For some reason, dogs take a certain liking to me as I can empathize with them. I don’t see a pet, I see an innocent soul who’s ready to give love or be silly, or just want to chill. I work remotely throughout the day (laptop + WiFi is all I need) but, I have plenty of time for a set schedule to take care of pets. Having a timed schedule is important to make sure we’re all on the same page. Weekends are where I have the most flexibility of course. Moving from Tampa back to Miami, I live an active lifestyle. So I have no problem going on runs and taking your babies to the nearest dog park for some activity. We’re getting our steps today 👏🏾

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? Heart, research, and real-life experience. When I found a tiny, abandoned kitten next to a trash can, I didn’t hesitate—I brought her home, gave her a safe place to grow, and dove into research on feline nutrition, behavior, and optimal health. That experience taught me how to care not just with love, but with intention. I treat every pet like they’re my own, paying attention to the little things that make them feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or quiet cuddles, your pet will be in compassionate, thoughtful hands. Pet care isn’t just part of my day—it’s part of my lifestyle. As someone who prioritizes health and staying active, dog walking fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Whether it’s a brisk morning walk or a calming sunset stroll, your pup gets exercise, attention, and fresh air while I get to share my love for movement and the outdoors. I treat every walk as a chance to bond, explore, and keep your dog both mentally and physically engaged. Reliable, upbeat, and always tuned into your pet’s needs—I’m here to make sure they’re thriving while you're away. When caring for someone’s pet—whether in my home or theirs—safety and trust come first. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same level of care, attention, and respect. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel secure, loved, and comfortable. I’m always mindful of routines, dietary needs, and house rules, and I keep communication open so you’re always in the loop. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or structured walks outside, your pet will feel at ease and right at home under my watch.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s had the joy of raising and caring for over 10 dogs throughout my life. Although I can’t be with them anymore (don’t worry—they’re in loving hands!), I still have plenty of love, care, and experience to share with your furry family member. I also volunteered at Miami Dade Animal Services for 1 year and got experience in handling dogs of any size and age and keeping everyone safe while caring for them. From energetic pups to wise seniors, I’ve learned what it takes to keep dogs safe, happy, and feeling at home. I bring a balance of playfulness and responsibility—people often describe me as trustworthy, professional, and someone who plays by the rules but always knows how to have fun! Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or just a cozy nap buddy, I’m here to treat your pet like one of my own. 🐾 I’m currently working part time and have light school load, I also have a flexible schedule and can work my way around it! I am available any day of the week in the morning until 12 pm and then in the early afternoon between 2-6 pm. I do not offer services in my home, but I can visit your pup and care for him, always following your rules and conditions of course!

Would definitely recommend best dog sitter we have hired from rover there is not enough good things I can say about Irania! She sent constant photos and updates througout.

Marcos was dependable and easy to communicate with. He kept me updated daily with photos of my cat and even brought toys to encourage my 16 year old cat to play. He went above and beyond, leaving my home clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to use his services again. Thank you Marcos.

Celina was timely and attentive to my dog's needs. She sent photos of my good boy daily while I was away. My home was clean and clearly well cared for when I returned. Sometimes she likes to bring her young daughter with her to your home so be sure to let her know if your pet is not child-friendly.
