“Paula was amazing, she would send me videos and pictures so I could watch Zindy play with other doggies. She asked me about Zindy’s eating and bathroom habits. When I went to pick up Zindy she was happy to see us, but she wanted to stay and play, that’s a good sign. I am great full to have Paula taking care of my furry baby. I will use her again and even thinking of leaving her once in a while for a play day. I will recommend Paula, she’s great all around. Martha”
“What a fantastic experience! Thanks to Christina for taking such great care of Megan and Saber. We especially appreciated the updates and photos of Megan playing with the toy. She had a great time with you and told us all about it! We look forward to seeing you next month!”
“Reya was well taken care of. Ricardo is a great communicator, sent photos and videos, and I knew Reya would be safe, comfortable, and have a great time. Would absolutely use again for pet sitting.”
“I always trust Guina with my dog- she is simply the best! Always has a great disposition and treats the pups with so much love and care. I highly recommend her!”
“Maite was an amazing caretaker for my puppy! She was constantly communicating and sharing pictures/videos, I could tell Beni was having a great time. She also was flexible with dropoff and pickup which was super helpful for my busy schedule and travel times. I highly recommend!”
“Marius was a wonderful sitter! You can immediately tell how much she truly loves dogs. She was patient, extremely friendly, and Gambit liked her! She also did a great job keeping me updated with pictures, and I could tell he was having such a great time. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very comfortable with her, which is always the best sign!!”
“Mariana was great taking care of Cooper! She was very sweet and updated us daily with photos and videos and took him on multiple walks. He looked very happy in all the photos. I highly recommend her for all your dog sitting needs!”
“Shirley came over to feed Piper her afternoon meal and then walk Piper. She was on time, spent almost an hour with Piper and gave us an update after she left. We will definitely use Shirley again!”
“Janeth is our top choice for dog sitting and has been for the past year. Roscoe is always giddy when he sees her. She takes photos and shares updates with us throughout his stays. We would be lost without Janeth!”
“Mayra was excellent with our puppy Max. He came home so happy!! She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Kept us informed about his food and outdoor walks. Highly recommend if you considering a sitter.”
“Thank you Angela for taking good care of Sophia! Our dog recently had ACL surgery, but Angela made sure to take care of Sophia to prevent re-injury and provided plently of updates. We will definitely will be booking again in the future.”

“As always, Natalia took the best care of my Phoebe girl! She will always be my first choice because I know she’s in the best hands with her and I never have to worry. She’s also the most understanding when it comes to traveling and is always so flexible and stress free! We just love her AND Rocky!!!”

Great! She sent daily pictures and a video of my dog and was always prompt with responses and check ins. Would happily have her dog sit again. Very friendly in person and was accommodating when I forgot to bring a few things for my dog and had to run home to get them. 5 stars
Maite and her husband were absolutely amazing with Lambo while we were away\! I could immediately tell how happy and comfortable he was with them, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually enjoy my trip without worrying about him\. They took such great care of him, kept me updated, and treated him like their own\. It’s so hard to leave your dog with someone, but I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands\. I would 100% trust them with Lambo again and highly recommend them!
April was a fantastic sitter. We went away for the weekend across the country, and she was super accommodating from the start. Every interaction we had from the beginning was always her trying to understand how she could best help our dog. She sent us multiple pictures a day and a short description of how our dog was doing that day, which made things so easy to not have to worry with us being so far away. Gave us great peace of mind and will be asking her for help again!
Alejandro and his wife Robby were absolutely amazing dog sitters. They were very attentive, sent lots of photo and video updates, and took our puppy on many walks at the park near their house. This was our first time boarding our dog overnight with someone, and it was a really great experience. I could tell from the photos and videos that our dog was very comfortable and happy in their home. He came home in a very good mood, which suggests to me that he felt comfortable and was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Alejandro and Robby for dog sitting, and hope to use them again sometime soon!
I can’t say enough good things about Christina. She watched our boys for over a week including giving them medicine and dealing with our littlest working on his manners with other dogs. We love having them stay with her and they get so excited to be there. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boys!!
Mia went above and beyond taking care of our dogs for a little over a week. She was communicating with us the entire time and sending us updates. Our dogs came home calm and that is a testament to the care she provides. Will definitely reach out to her the next time we need boarding for them.
We couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after Maple! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Natalia kept us updated throughout her stay with wonderful pictures and thoughtful messages, which meant so much to us while we were away. When she noticed that Maple was having some trouble with her bowels, she immediately let us know and went above and beyond to make sure Maple was comfortable. She even prepared some pumpkin for her to help settle her tummy — such a thoughtful and caring touch! It was clear that Maple was not just being “watched” — she was genuinely cared for and loved. We came home knowing she had been happy, comfortable, and in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate to care for their furry family member. Maple would happily stay with her again! ❤️🐾
Lilly was fantastic! I know that Poppy had a great time and was well taken care of- she was even hesitant to leave! We received daily updates on Poppy and Lilly truly treated her as her own. She was exercised, played with, cuddled, and spoiled; it was as much a vacation for her as it was for us. Poppy showed no signs of anxiety or nervousness upon return. Her environment was clean, calm, inviting, and pet-free. I know that Poppy appreciated the spacious area and backyard with lots of outside time. Lilly was also very flexible and helped greatly when return flights were rescheduled. Highly recommend Lilly to care for your fur baby without worry!
I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER MORE! You will never have to ask for any updates or wonder if your dog took their medication/food. She is on top of it and sends updates frequently! She’s very friendly, easy going, and fun to talk to. A genuine dog lover and wonderful environment for your baby. She exercised my baby 3 times a day and treated him like her own family. I couldn’t ask for better! 🥰

95% of sitters in South Miami can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Miami home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South Miami.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your South Miami sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
