We booked Pia at short notice to look after our 4 cats. Pia was super responsive and was great with our cats who can be a bit of a handful, especially given there are 4 of them. Pia sent us regular pictures and videos while we were away and we really felt the cats were in safe hands.

Ruth is super responsive and very friendly with your babies! I had a last minute drop in I only had two hours to find someone and she was very fast at responding and helped me out in a pinch. Our original schedule was for 6 visits and she squeezed in the 7th for us last minute! Life saver!

Drew was amazing with Duke. Super patient and attentive. He was a life saver coming in to drop-in on Duke. He fed him, walked him, played with him. Would have him care for Duke again!

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 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.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two cats, two dogs, and a parrot, so I truly understand how much love and attention pets need every day. From feeding, walking, and playtime to keeping them comfortable and happy, I enjoy every part of taking care of animals. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a shy cat, I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry (or feathered!) family members, and I always aim to give them the same love and care they get at home. I’ve cared for pets my whole life! I’m free most of the week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday anytime; Tuesday and Thursday after late afternoon (5pm); weekends all day, perfect for walks, visits, or boarding. I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I treat every animal like family. I have two friendly dogs and a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of space for pets to run and play safely. I can adapt to any routine, provide fresh food and water, and maintain a clean, comfortable space. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, supervision, and creating a calm, loving environment so every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.

Ada did an amazing job taking care of our cat Link! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous, but she offered to meet us beforehand for a meet and greet with Link and we could immediately tell she was very dependable and caring. She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates at each visit which made us feel at ease while we were away. She even noticed that his food was running low and let us know so we could have more ordered, and she came back the next day (even though it was not officially on the scheduled request) to make sure his food bowl got filled in time. Truly a life saver and definitely recommend!

About: I have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, cats, a bird, and even a bunny, so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets. I have two years of experience caring for my neighbors’ cats while they were away, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication, and spending time playing with them. I’ve also had my own cat for the past four years, and at one point I had four cats, including a senior cat who was blind, so I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I know cats often require a different approach than dogs, and I’m happy to go at their pace to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience giving daily medication to my family’s dog and regularly walk my parents’ dogs whenever I’m home. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own I recently graduated from the University of Miami, so my schedule is very flexible while I search for a full-time position. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate my availability in advance and make sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and any special requests. I have experience caring for senior pets and administering medication, and I’ve stayed calm during an unexpected medical emergency while caring for my mom’s dog by getting her to the vet right away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know they’re safe and happy.

About: I have owned and raised dogs my whole life. I dog sit for family and friends on the regular. I have dogs of my own and I understand the need in a sitter. Please know that your pet should be some what leash trained and potty trained. Shot records must be provided. I don’t want to be responsible for your pup getting sick. I love dogs dearly, and I am willing to give them the love they deserve. Dogs will have multiple potty break and tons of fun. If they have a crate they will be in and out of the crate depending on how they react to the home. On walks they will get some jogging exercise and simple walking. I can help with sit/stay training if wanted. Thank you. Pet care is a part of my everyday life! I run a doggy daycare which is where our boarding and daycare will take place. and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and love throughout the day and week. Your pet’s needs easily fit into my routine. We have a fenced-in yard with a pond for the dogs to play in (turf yard) and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. My home is set up for safety and comfort, with plenty of space to play and relax. I can easily crate your pup if needed and always follow any specific care instructions you provide. Your dog will be treated like family here!

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I've cared for puppies, kittens, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, lizards, monkeys, and other exotic and domestic animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, administer basic care, and provide companionship for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive and reliable care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work nearby Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and am home most weekends. Depending on your pet's needs and temperament, I may be able to bring well-socialized dogs with me to work, allowing for additional companionship, supervision, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I can also return home during lunch breaks when needed for feedings, medication administration, exercise, or extra attention. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, air-conditioned, and located in a quiet townhouse community with limited traffic, a single entrance and exit, and only a few residential buildings. We have a fenced patio, a dedicated pet walking area nearby, and a large sliding glass door that provides natural light and outdoor views while allowing pets to remain comfortably indoors. Unless otherwise requested by the owner, pets will be kept safely indoors at all times. Outdoor walks, potty breaks, playtime, and patio access will always be provided according to your preferences and your pet's individual needs. I understand that every pet has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, and I am committed to following your care instructions exactly as requested. For added security, my home has keypad entry access, and pets are never given unsupervised access to bedrooms, helping maintain a safe and controlled environment. Fresh filtered water is always available if preferred. I share my home with my 11-year-old son, who has been raised around animals and understands the importance of treating every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. We both genuinely love animals and work together to provide a calm, caring, and welcoming environment where pets feel like part of the family.

About: I grew up in France surrounded by animals including dogs, cats, horses, and even chickens, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was little, I’ve naturally connected with animals and genuinely love being around them. Honestly, everywhere I go, you’ll probably see me petting the animals before even saying hi to the humans first. I’m 27 years old and currently have a 12 year old dog named Lilo and a 4 year old cat named Phoenix, so I understand both senior pet care and the attention pets need to feel safe and loved. I also horseback ride weekly, which means animals are truly part of my everyday life. As a nursing student, I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and attentive to details. I will always care for your pets with kindness, affection, and the same level of attention I would want for my own animals. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the week, but I always make time for animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I already care for my own pets daily and spend a lot of time around animals. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m very reliable with communication, feeding schedules, medications, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, and I will care for them as if they were my own. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, behavior changes, and making sure pets feel calm, safe, and loved.I’m naturally patient, responsible, detail oriented, and comfortable handling different personalities, including senior or anxious pets.

About: Hello, thank you for taking an interest in boarding your pet with me at a Dog’s Dream Vacation provided by a dog lover. I love dogs and I am a borderline dog whisperer. When your pet stays with me, they are getting a vacation of their own. When you travel or go on vacation, they get to have a getaway of their own. If using the Rover App, scroll through the top picture to see the photo gallery of dogs having fun and enjoying their vacation. If on the desktop website, click on full gallery photos. Rover is definitely better than boarding your pet at a dog hotel, especially if they are anxious pets. It is like Air BnB for your pet. : ) I live on a small peaceful lake with a big, fenced backyard. There is usually a nice breeze. I have a big open space home and a large backyard, plus a pool. Pets can go in the pool. I know golden retrievers and Labradors can’t resist, so please let me know if your dog may attempt to go in and if you prefer that they don’t. The lake is closed off, not connected to other lakes or canals (very safe) but still I do not allow pets in the lake as there is bacteria. We have a very old cat, he is 15 years old and most dogs get along with him, even if they have never been around a cat. I sadly hate to update my profile, and it took me a few months to do so because of grief. We had a cute, playful, friendly Labrador. His name was Chance and he died of a hemangiosarcoma tumor on his liver and spleen. Apparently, labs and retrievers can get this. Unfortunately, nobody knows exactly what causes hemangiosarcoma in dogs. It is one of the most studied canine cancers, but there is no single proven cause. Researchers believe it results from a combination of: genetics, age, or random DNA mutations. The last few pictures were of me and Chance having fun. Our prices are in line with the market rate (and cheaper than a dog hotel) but in my home, your dog is getting a vacation, eventually a playmate once we get another dog. I prefer dogs that are potty trained. I also prefer friendly breeds. Please bring your dog’s bed, food and 2 poop bags per day. Also bring their crate if crate trained (this is in case only if I have more than 2 dogs during busy holiday season AND only if they are used to their home crate). It also helps some dogs feel at home and have their own scent. Be sure they are bathed and clean as they tend to lay on our rugs. I prefer they do not go on furniture but it’s ok if they do (Chance used to lay on the couch all the time). I am available weekends and/or holidays. I can also provide dog walks in Brickell during the weekday. On some occasions I can do a dog visit but it depends on day and location. Please let me know if you need more information or have any questions. I work full time but work from home 2 days out of the week. I keep dogs on a feeding schedule along with back yard play time and potty time. They basically do the same routine and schedule as Chance. I have a fenced in yard and one dog to keep your fur baby happy and in good company. I can crate your dog if needed or if you prefer. Please bring their crate if crate trained and sleep or are used to going in and out of their "home'. Sometimes it helps them having their scent.

Morgan was fantastic! She was on time every single day and sent us pictures of Luna throughout each visit, which we really appreciated. She was so sweet and gentle with Luna, and it showed — Luna was completely comfortable and relaxed with her the whole time. We’d absolutely book Morgan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter.

Kim and Seth went above and beyond when taking care of my Cat Ramesses. Ram is very shy with new people, but he immediately opened up with them. They were extremely communicative and sent lots of photos of my baby. The place was very clean when I returned and Ram was in good spirits. I will definitely use them in the future. They exceeded all of my expectations.

Maria is truly a blessing. Leaving your cat behind is never easy, but with her, you feel complete peace of mind. She is incredibly trustworthy and responsible. She didn’t just “check in” - she cared for our cat with so much attention and kept us updated, made sure everything was clean and comfortable, and treated our baby like her own. When we came home, our cat was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for which says everything. We are so grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. I would trust Maria again in a heartbeat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pinecrest on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,315 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pinecrest. 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 Pinecrest 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
