“Marcela is an amazing pet sitter. She was beyond thorough following all the instructions we provided for our four cats. She was always on time and paid close attention to detail. Truly a pleasure to work with and we will definitely reach out to her again next time we need a cat sitter. I’m certain she is great with all pets but if you have cats, she should be your go to :)”

“Another fabulous visit! Fozzie had so much fun and even had his own night out on the town at a restaurant! Thank you guys! See you again soon! Heather and Fozzie”

“Nina was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pets with anyone while my family and I were away on vacation, and she made the entire experience stress-free. My dogs don’t get along with just anyone, they’re very high-energy, but from the moment they met Nina, they instantly connected with her. That gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Nina was extremely attentive and detail-oriented. She sent photos during every check-in, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and even provided photo proof that the house was secure. She also cleaned up any messes, brought in packages that were left outside, and truly went above and beyond what was asked of her. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! too!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with every pet 🐾 I’m not just there to “watch” them—I really take time to understand their personality, their routine, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m very patient and attentive, which helps a lot with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I like to keep things consistent and use positive reinforcement to support any training you’re working on. With senior pets, I’m extra gentle, calm, and make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s slower walks, medication, or just extra cuddles. I’m also big on communication—I’ll send updates and cute photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel loved and relaxed, and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands 💛 Pet care fits really naturally into my day because it’s something I genuinely love doing 🐾 I have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to stop by for visits, walks, or just hangout time whenever your pet needs it. I like to keep things consistent for them—feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company—so they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m super easygoing when it comes to working around your pet’s schedule. Honestly, spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the day, so it never feels like a job—more like I get to hang out with a bunch of cute new friends 💛🐶🐱 Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved 🐾 I’m very attentive to their routine and environment—making sure doors are secure, food and water are fresh, and they’re always in a calm, clean space. I’m also very mindful when it comes to safety. I double-check locks, keep a close eye during walks or outdoor time, and make sure pets are always in a secure environment. I’m good with alarm systems and home security, so you can feel confident your home is being respected and looked after as well. I treat every home and pet like it’s my own—lots of love, patience, and attention to detail so you can fully relax while you’re away 💛
“We are delighted with Jacob! He is friendly, sends texts with updates and sent pictures of my dog looking very happy! We will request his service from now on and highly recommend him!”


“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She is so sweet, friendly, and has such a great personality. From the moment I met her, I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures she sent throughout the stay, including photos of the dogs food, water and even their potty updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were doing well and being taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch our dogs again!”

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last 2025 and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash. Time Management & Organization: Experienced in caring for multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Reliability & Attention to Detail: I’m dependable and attentive, always paying close attention to a pet’s behavior and needs. Exercise & Engagement: I provide structured 30-minute walks and make sure each visit includes both care and positive interaction. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect; making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away, and giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently an online student so i have a very flexible schedule! Im available in the mornings, earliest 10am, and the latest at 8pm. I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, calm environment for your pets while also giving you peace of mind knowing your home and pets are being well cared for.
“Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, especially with shy or nervous pets. I take things slow and let them come to me so they always feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been pet sitting for friends for the past 7 years, caring for both cats and dogs with all different personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and even went/took horseback riding lessons once a week. Since my mom was scared of dogs, I wasn’t able to have one as a child, so I poured all my love into caring for my friends pets whenever I could - playing with them, cuddling them, and giving them the attention they needed. Now I have a dog and I used to have a cat of my own, and both require daily medication, so I’m experienced with giving pets medicine safely and gently. I genuinely love creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels understood and cared for. I work from home two days a week. My office hours are 8am-5pm. My partner also works a lot from home so your pet won’t be home alone very often. I’m available for boarding during the week (as long as your pet is used to a similar schedule) and weekends. I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and cozy space. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My friendly dog will keep your pup company. Your fur baby is welcome on all our furniture, just like my dog. If needed, I can easily crate your pet or let them stay loose. Whatever makes them and/or you feel most comfortable.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We truly appreciate your time, attention, and kindness!”

About: As a kid, I wanted to know everything there is to know about Dogs. I’ve learned all the dog breeds and how to train them. Once I got my first dog(American bull dog ) at the of Age 17 I properly trained him. My family and friends were impressed on how well trained he was that they gave me opportunities to train their pets throughout the years. I’ve gain a lot of knowledge on what works and what doesn’t. It all depends on how the dogs gets motivated. I’ve also had experience in housesitting and taking care of the household pets. I’m currently a part timer at Publix . I’m usually free throughout the week, and I work a mid shift on the weekends. I’ll be available in the evening or at night for weekends but on the week days I’m available in the mornings as well. If you have a gated fence, I like to go outside with your pet and watch them go to bathroom and give them some exercise with a toy or just simply running around them. If you would like me to walk your dog around the neighborhood I would make sure they are safe and secure and I’ll protect them as if they were my own.

“Lee was great! He came over a few days before his visit to meet my dogs. Lee was very patient with Axel, who gets a little weird with strangers. Lee kept me updated after every visit and sent pictures too. I will most definitely book again with Lee. You can tell he is very comfortable around all animals.”

“Yesenia was perfect with my little guy, hanging out 2 hours with him. She was good at giving him space and did not rush any interaction. We are sad that we moved in a different area, otherwise she would be our go-to sitter.”

Samantha took really good care of my little one over the weekend, and feel really comfortable and I knew I will relax cause she did a great job with my dog and keep me post all the time and make sure to do her care with love. thanks Samantha to take the time and extra to make sure that they where comfortable and care??

Mariana took care of our Maltese while we were away and she was outstanding. She dropped in to visit 3 times a day and she was on time, amazing with Brady --taking him out for walks, taking him out back and gave him so much love--and sent lots of pictures and videos. She follows instructions perfectly. We wish we can have her come visit Brady every day! Cant wait to see you again Brady sends you lots of hugs!!!!!!

Alize was incredible. For starters she is extremely professional, respectful and trustworthy. My dog Tyson is extremely particular with people, but he just LOVED her. The drop in visits were 3x/day for a week, and she was punctual for all of them. She made sure Tyson got his daily exercise by taking him out and playing fetch the ball with him. She even showed up with more food for him because towards the end of the week he was running low on some of his food. If you’re looking for an outstanding dogsitter that is reliable, trustworthy and a true animal/dog lover, Alize is the top choice. Our family is blessed to have found such a special person. Thank you Alize!!

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 Palmetto Bay 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.

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 .
