About: I provide reliable, attentive care for both dogs and cats, with experience caring for pets of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m patient and consistent with routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special care instructions, and monitoring behavior or health changes. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to build trust, reinforce positive behaviors, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m currently working part time so I am home for most of the day while my partner works full time I will be home most of the day being able to board daily. I have a big yard and plenty of space outside. The half is grass and the other have is paved with a shaded rooftop for when I have outside time and for the pets to have a shaded outside area.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for over 15 years, including personal pets and others’. This includes pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes, as well as energy levels. I also have experience with dietary restrictions. I currently work full time (9-5) during the week, but work 10 minutes from home and have a flexible schedule to where I could let pets out once or twice during the workday. I work from home on Fridays as well and don’t work weekends. I have a dog-friendly apartment with a run for dogs to relieve themselves, play, and socialize. The surrounding neighborhood is also very walkable and a few minutes drive from local parks.

About: Hi! My name is Alex. I’ve always been passionate about taking great care of animals. Hanging out and spending time outdoors with dogs is my idea of fun! I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pets like my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I’m currently studying and have a pretty flexible schedule. I generally wake up pretty early and I can travel to you without a problem. Also available in the evenings. I’ve spent years around cats and dogs and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy dogs, and senior pets that may need a slower pace. Prioritizing safety, proper leash handling, and positive interactions during walks is important to me.

About: Hi! My name is Mayra, and I’m a professional pet groomer with experience dating back to 2015. Although I’m not currently working full time as a groomer, grooming is my passion and something I continue to do with love and care. I also groom cats from time to time and am currently expanding my skills as a cat stylist. In addition, I have two years of experience as a small animal caretaker, which included cleaning habitats and administering medication when needed. Being a pet stylist has taught me a great deal about animal behavior, allowing me to provide calm, patient, and attentive care. I previously had two fur babies of my own who are now in heaven, and they taught me the importance of trust, compassion, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I hope to be that person for you. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to be present with your pet. I groom occasionally, but my main focus is providing attentive, loving care and making sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pets are kept in a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I follow their normal feeding schedule, potty routine, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Pets receive plenty of love, playtime, and rest, and I make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while away from home.

About: I grew up with multiple animals like horses, dogs, reptiles, and fish, and now I own a German shepherd and a cat. I love all kinds of animals and would love to make your pet feel cared for and loved! I am currently a pre-medical part-time student taking college courses and am working part-time remotely. My schedule is very open, with high availability on Mondays, Fridays, and the weekends. I am extremely respectful of your home/apartment, as well the space of your pet. I will follow instructions to the tee, and have no problem asking questions if I am confused or need further clarification. Having used Rover myself for my pets I am knowledgeable of the app from the customer side

“Isabella was excellent with the pups. Will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone else.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my family my whole life. When I was 15, I began babysitting and pet sitting. Currently, my two older brothers each have their own pets, 2 dogs and 2 cats respectively. Whenever they go out of town, I get to watch over them, whether it be a weekend, week, or a month. I always make it my goal to ensure they are well entertained and taken care of while their gaurdians are away. I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and this allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I mostly see clients in the afternoons weekdays, leaving me available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I live in a gated apartment building in Coconut Grove. There is a dog park less than 0.5 mile from me. My apartment has lots of open space for pets to roam.

About: I have been boarding dogs in my home since 2007 and have many very happy customers. I have two small dogs of my own. The dogs have access to my fenced back garden at all times.

They are walked at least twice a day. About this sitter: Passionate about dogs. I have completed a pet first aid course with PetTech. Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog lover all my life. I have had a dog of my own since adopting a rescue in 1980. I now have 2 rescues and enjoy training them in obedience and agility. Meet my pets: I have two small dogs which I train and compete with in agility. About my yard: The backyard is fenced in with a 6 foot wooden fence. It has paths around the vegetation for the dogs to run. There is access to the outside from my back door at all times. I also have a small pond which is fenced and contains several fish. I am retired and home most of the time so I am able to supervise and care for your pet, take him/her for walks and have playtime. I have a fenced back yard which is available for potty breaks. I work outside in the yard most mornings and the dogs like to keep me company while I'm there. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and can sleep anywhere they choose.` I am retired and can take care of your pet at my home 24/7. I have a lot of experience looking after many types of dogs. Your pet has access to the entire house, including the furniture, and back garden. They are fed separately from my dogs. They are also brushed if necessary. I can also trim nails if the dog will allow me to do this.

“Pia was an excellent drop-in sitter for my two cats! She was very communicative and kept me updated about my cats the entire time I was away. I have a senior cat that she took excellent care of and was very attentive to. I would highly recommend her to other pet parents looking for a good Rover !”

About: “I’m passionate about dog behavior and body language, so I can understand what little ones need. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time caring for them. I’m a film editor and currently work from home, which makes pet care a great fit for my daily routine. My breaks are perfect for spending time with your little ones. I enjoy walking to the dog park, playing with them, and then getting back to work. I can bring my laptop with me, so I’m flexible and able to move around the house while caring for your pets. Aquí tienes una respuesta natural, clara y adecuada para Rover, en inglés: I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In client’s home, I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. If there is a backyard available, I enjoy playing with them there whenever they need extra attention or exercise.

About: Living here means I'm extra mindful of how our weather affects dogs—especially flat-faced breeds like Bulldogs, Frenchies, and Pugs. I schedule walks during cooler hours and watch closely for overheating signs. I've learned from experienced owners that it gets intense before 10am, so I plan accordingly. 🐶 Teacup to Great Danes I know big-chested dogs (Great Danes, deep-chested breeds) need 15 minutes post-walk before meals to prevent bloat. I've worked with everything from teacup Yorkies to Great Danes, Pomeranians to Pitbulls, Basset Hounds to Malinois, Golden Retriever, Poodles—and counting. ⚡️ Pulling, Recalling, Leashes for safe fun I focus on leash training and turning "explorers" into calm "followers." Prefer working with dogs who have some training foundation (especially big pullers), but I adapt to where your pup is at. Give me the 👍🏾 and I’ll turn into Mom 2.0.
