Marcela is the best. She came to my rescue when I was really in a pickle for two days worth of drop in visits. It was the first time I used her services and she accepted the job on short notice which was a life saver for me. She was very communicative off the bat and was able to work with me as far as the schedule. She sent updates and pics and I came home to calm and happy fur babies! I was very pleased, I will definitely use her services again.

About: Hi there! As to experience with dogs, I have brought all three of our family dogs home- my chihuahua Blueberry, my Maltipoo Teddy who I taught how to do obstacle courses such as jump through hoops, run through poles, go through tunnels, ect. And lastly, I got my very own miniature Aussiedoodle puppy this past year named Kova who’s about 11 months old now. I have 4 years of experience dog sitting my family, friends, and people on Nextdoor throughout all 4 years of high school from tiny to large dogs. I can also help teach them tricks! I live in an apartment close to University of Miami campus where I live with a few other girls and we have my puppy & my roomates Pomeranian living with us. I’m looking to pet sit, do walks, and check in’s since I love animals and have a bit more free time this year! I also have a car so I am able to drive to pickup and drop off! I promise I will treat your furry friends like my own with the utmost care & love! I’m currently a Junior at the University of Miami. My only priorities are my classes but besides my class time, I am completely available to take care of your pups! Due to my class schedule: • I am available Monday anytime besides 3:30-5pm. • I am available Tuesday anytime besides 2pm-6:30pm. • I am available Wednesday anytime besides 2pm-8pm. • I am available Thursday anytime besides 2pm-3:30pm and 5pm-9pm. • I am completely available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but contact me 3 days in advance for weekends to make sure I am completely available. I live in a townhouse style apartment with 4 other super sweet girls and we have 2 pups living with us to keep your dog company! I have my own puppy Kova who is a miniature Aussiedoodle girl and we have a miniature Pomeranian boy named Gio. We don’t have much of a backyard but I walk my own puppy about 4x a day through the grassy front yard and to the dog park in our complex. There are also multiple parks around the area that I love to take her to that I can walk your dog at as well! My pup no longer needs her crate but I have a crate that I can set up ahead of time if needed!

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: I have owned and taken care of dogs for over 15 years. I understand that my client's pet is very precious. I am a responsible, attentive carer. I believe in making your pet's environmental change as comfortable, fun, safe, nurturing and active as possible. I take in/care for pets of most sizes and ages, and I don't like to have more than I owner's pets at a time, to ensure that things run safely and smoothly. I am flexible, accommodating, and I work from home, so I'm able to give your pet loads of attention. I have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue groups. Some of these dogs were special needs cases in terms of medical needs and anxiety issues. I have a safe, large enough garden. I can do pick up, drop off, overnight, daycare, walking, baths and special trips as required. I am available most holidays and weekends and in the week. I have a jack-russel/chihuahua mix of my own under 1 year who gets on well with other dogs. I'm currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to play with and give loving attention to your pup's needs, including walks and play time. I have a fenced yard and plenty space to run around. The dogs will have regular inside and outside time. Walks are regular and as long and often as you choose. We are home to play and have loads of fun too. Your pet will feel loads of love and attention in this happy, friendly and fun environment.

Jacob and his girlfriend are fantastic pet sitters. I could tell with how well my Harley reacted and responded to them. They both communicated great with us and always sent pictures and are very detailed with each time they came to care for my dog. I will definitely try and use them again when needed.

I’ve also had a special furry coworker of my own for many years — my dog, who was basically my favorite coworker and self-appointed supervisor. 🐶😂 She recently crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈, and while I definitely miss having her by my side, I realized how much I genuinely enjoy having animals around me. Pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time with some new furry friends while giving their families a little extra peace of mind. ❤️ No pet is too big or too small, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! 🐶🐱 Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a meet & greet!

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.

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.

About: Taking care of pets has been a joyful and fulfilling experience for me since I was 12 years old. I have always had a special connection with animals, and the opportunity to take care of them has brought me immense happiness. From playing with dogs in the park to cuddling with cats on lazy afternoons, every moment spent with my furry friends has been full of laughter and joy. Over the years, I have learned to be responsible and dependable, and my pets have taught me important life lessons about love, loyalty, and kindness. I am grateful for the happiness that pets have brought into my life, and I look forward to many more years of fun and laughter with them. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, and it's safe to say that my pets run my schedule! They're the bosses, and I'm just the employee who gets to cuddle and play with them all day. Since I work from home and have an open schedule, my pets know that they can count on me to provide them with their daily needs, from feeding and exercising to snuggles and naps. Sometimes, I have to negotiate with them for a little extra playtime or treats, and it's hilarious to see them give me their "puppy-dog eyes" when they want something. My pets keep me on my toes, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Who needs a personal assistant when you have a furry best friend by your side? As a pet caregiver, my motto is "safety first, fun second!" So, while I always make sure to create a healthy and trusting environment for your pet, I also make sure to give them the time of their lives! I'm not just a pet sitter, I'm a pet entertainer! Of course, while having fun is important, safety is always my top priority. I make sure to follow all the necessary safety protocols and supervise the pets at all times. And when it comes to communication, I'm not just a pet whisperer, I'm a pet communicator extraordinaire! I provide regular updates on your pet's activities, behavior, and even their latest jokes (yes, pets have a great sense of humor).

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.

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Palmetto Bay on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,704 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Palmetto Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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 .

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 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.

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.
