“Donovan was great with our pets! We have a dog and three cats at home and he took care of all of them for the weekend. Our dog Odin was especially happy to see him each visit. Thank you Donovan!”
“Laura watched our cats for nearly 2 weeks while we were out of town. I was able to relax and not stress thanks to Laura. The next time we go out of town we will be booking with Laura again.”
About: I’ve cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and people close to me over the years. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and supervision. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate clients with advance notice. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs in a safe, supervised environment. I prioritize communication, routine, and attentive care to make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe while away from home.
About: I just moved here from Chicago to start a position at UM! I’ve been an animal, especially dog and cat, person my entire life. Since leaving home, I’ve had to leave my puppies with my family during this transition. I miss them so dearly - I hope to find some families who have pets in need of some help. It will help me fulfill my need and love for animals, and I love to help others too. I worked at a dog kennel for 2+ years previously. Training, feeding, walking, and (my fav) playing with the pups! I feel confident in my ability to take care of any dog - big or small, energetic or sleepy. I have learned the skills to create a safe, trustworthy, and stable environment for you and your pets. I’m currently working full-time and the University of Miami - but my job allows for a lot of flexibility as a lot of my work is online. I’m completely free every afternoon after 5pm and open every weekend. I have a lovely dog park right next to my apartment building complex, as well as ample space in my 650sq ft apartment to escape the heat and still play. I could play and pet with dogs/dogs all day . The most important part about your pets experience is their safety, and you, the owner having peace of mind that you will pick them up happy and healthy! Before any visit, I would like to prioritize discussing your dog needs, and your needs to ensure that you know your pets is in good hands.
“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.”
“Lexi has been an invaluable asset in our family, always ready to step in to take care of our Bingo & Rolly to make sure we had the time to bring the kids on a rare day/weekend trip. Even when asking last minute, same day, Lexi always came to our help and once here into our home she lovingly took care of our beloved pugs as if they were hers, so much so that even our rescue Bingo who has experienced trauma in the past and is shy with most people, opened up to her. Regrettably, we are leaving the area, or else Lexi would have surely remained our trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Lexi, for taking care of Bingo & Rolly and for being so friendly and kind to us.”
About: I've been around dogs and pets my entire life. Through dog training my own dogs I have learned what works well and what doesn't with communicating with dogs. My red nose pitbull is service trained, and people always ask me how I got him so well behaved, and I say by learning dog how to communicate with them properly. I am a teacher so during the summer I have a lot of flexibility both during day and night to meet your dog drop in or dog walking needs. I establish boundaries with every dog I meet before walking them to make sure they get the best possible care and freedom on walks, all while keeping them safe.
About: I have been around dogs all my life, have two of my own Vizslas, so I know the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I've also dog-sat for other families through the Nextdoor app (including overnight dog sitting) on top of my own dogs. I treat every dog like they are mine and always put their safety, comfort and routine first. Reliable, communicative and dedicated to making pets and their owners comfortable. My summer schedule is very flexible and I am available most weekdays between 8:00 and 5:00. I can also do weekend morning visits and evening visits/overnights with 24 hour notice. I will be heading off to college this fall and am excited to spend this summer providing your pets with reliable consistent care! I always put the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine first. There is plenty of room for pets to stretch out and play in my home, including a fully fenced yard for outdoor time when supervised. I ensure they have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and lots of attention. I really follow instructions carefully when caring for pets in a client’s home. This helps keep them on their regular routine and keeps them feeling safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I also keep owners in the loop with regular updates and photos so they can relax while they are away.
“Alexis cared for our three dogs. After a meet-and-greet, we were immediately comfortable with her kind and professional demeanor. It was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals, and our dogs took to her right away. she provided excellent communication, sending us daily photos/videos and updates on how everyone was doing. We returned to happy dogs who were clearly well-cared for and comfortable in their own home. We trust her and would recommend.”
“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!”
“Yumeng is so great with my dogs, she goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. My dogs have alot of energy and make alot of mess, but she handles them very very well, would definitley reccomend her services! :)”
“Lovely young woman who is very reliable and caring. Treated my cats like they were her own. Terrific communication about anything going on. My cats adjusted to her quickly. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you, Hanna”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 16 and have always been trusted by friends and family as the designated person to take care of their pets as if it was them themselves taking care of them on the day to day :) I work in office Monday to Friday I can check in the morning and evenings and check in on pets mid day to assure they are not waiting for more than 6 hours I have a small fenced yard and my neighborhood is very dog friendly and a safe community I love sleeping with my dogs so I do the same with the others I’ve taken care alongside with knowing the need of crating if necessary
About: I have had puppies to 18 year old dogs and cats in my life since I was a child. I have worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility so I just know dogs. I have my own 6 year old, 60 lb dog that I adopted from a shelter when he was just 2 months old. I have taken care of everything you can imagine, and I will always show love to your animal. Your pet will have my full attention and energy throughout the time we’re together. Depending on the care your pet requires, I can fit all the time I can to care for your pet. I have my own dog so I know what it means to spend quality time with them and the amount of time that is required to care for them properly. Im usually free after 1 pm. I will care for your pet as if it were my own, and I will do anything your pet requires to meet its and your own needs and wants. I will respect you, your animal, and your space as much as I respect my own.

About: I have grown up walking dogs and have 2 cats at home. I love cats, dogs, and long walks. I know when they are hungry or thirsty, or when it is time to go to the bathroom. I don't mind cleaning up messes and will take responsibility for any accidents that the animal made. I am a college student at UF currently home for summer break. I am looking to work and will be available as much as I can. As a home sitter, I am respectful and will make sure to follow the rules and boundaries placed by the owner. You can tell me anything and I will make sure to listen and act accordingly.
About: (just reactivated my account in 2026, new to Miami) I have volunteered and trained 3+ yrs in professional wildlife animal and rescue care. 14+yrs of raising my scrappy little Chihuahua, Cloe. 2+yrs with our rescue , Pongo. Attention to detail for each animal in my care. I prefer to be SMOTHERED in dog kisses. All dogs are allowed on the couch, bed, or any area in the house. Comfortable with simple grooming. I love to send 1 or 2 puppy pics per day. I also try to make sure your doggy feels like they are receiving a spa-get away. We will exercise in the attached "Bark Park" if weather permits; and we will definitely indulge in a night-night massage. I am comfortable grooming, brushing, bathing, administering medication, or tending to a dog on their old age . I believe that attention to detail and a warm heart are my greatest strengths. My apt is attached to a "bark park" for daily exercise. All doggys have free roam of my house. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and in bed for snuggles. I live to love all animals like Steve Irwin.
“She did so great! My babies were well taken care of and felt very safe with her I'm my home. She even came (either during or after a wedding) to take care of my pups . That's commitment ! Thank you ???”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Palmetto Bay
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!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Palmetto Bay 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 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. 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 Palmetto Bay with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
