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 grown up around dogs and currently own and care for a young German Shepherd named Juddy. Through daily training, walks, exercise, supervision, and structured routines, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for active and large-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathing, administering basic care, and providing attentive supervision in a safe and active home environment. I currently maintain a flexible full-time schedule and am available throughout the week for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits. This allows me to provide attentive supervision, consistent care, regular walks, and timely communication with pet owners. I’m able to accommodate both weekday and weekend bookings and prioritize creating a safe, active, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I provide a clean, spacious, and supervised home environment where safety and communication come first. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, use safe introductions, and keep owners updated with photos and messages. As a German Shepherd owner, I understand the importance of structure, patience, and responsible care.
About: I have loved all animals and had pets since I was very young. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, hamsters, hermit crabs, fish, sea turtles, snakes, tortoises, dolphins and more. I am well-versed in both dog and cat sitting and I absolutely love spending time with animals. I have experience administering medication and taking care of animals with medical conditions as well. I’m a full-time student with a flexible class schedule. I have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to do walks and drop-in visits. I will follow whatever guidelines you leave me and make an effort to play with your pets for as long as I can to make sure they’ve had some company and exercise in your absence!

“Joshua was very responsive, professional, and took great care of Spike for us while we were away. He followed our requests and instructions to a tee and went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable in knowing that Spike was in good hands. He sent us pictures with each visit to keep us informed. I would definitely hire Joshua again to take care of Spike.”


About: I’ve had dogs in my family since before I was born. I love puppies and senior dogs. I’m an animal enthusiast in general and walking dogs is a dream job! I’m currently working part time(15hrs), so I have plenty of time to walk and care for our furry friends. Typically available 4-7 days of the week. I make sure to walk, feed, play, and let the pet outside accordingly. I typically set alarms or reminders on my phone with a schedule I adhere to.( client given or make one)
About: I know how important it is to feel completely at peace leaving your pet with someone else and that’s what I aim to give you! I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl and will treat your dog with the same love and care that I give my dog! You’ll always get updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work full time but work from home Fridays. I’m looking to occupy weekends only with pet care and giving them exercise and play time. I will take time to learn your pets routine and give them a safe environment. I follow feeding and walking schedules so your pets day feels familiar. I make sure they get lots of attention and patience especially if they’re feeling anxious!
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs since I was a little kid. I would house sit for my next door neighbor and his two boxers, then when they had puppies I also helped take care of them before and after school. Then, I decided to get my own dog (Juco) he is now four years old, my ride or die, and the friendliest dog I have even met! But I love all animals and treat them all like my own! The summer months are a low period in my work schedule. But my daily routine usually consists of me taking my dog for a long walk in the morning, hitting the gym, then going to the office a few hours. After work I come home walk my dog again and spend time with him at the dog park! I can stay at your property while pet sitting or bring your dog to play with my friendly dog at my townhouse. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and has multiple parks within walking distance!
About: Hello, my name is Laina and I’m so excited to get to know you and your pup! Ki is my partner and we are both available to watch your dog which means we’re basically available 24/7! Since we’re just starting off, we set our rates lower to build out a client base. I’m currently a law student 👩🏽⚖️📚 at University of Miami School of Law 🙌🏾💚🧡 so I have plenty of time to walk and dogsit in between classes and studying, plus it’ll be great to be active with them to get out more! I live with my partner Ki who is an optician 👓 and a personal trainer 💪🏽, is extremely active 🏃🏼, and is so great with animals. Between the two of us, someone is always available to spend time with your loved one, it’s like a two-for-one special! I’ve had pretty much any animal as a pet from hedgehogs 🦔 to horses 🐴 and my soul dog was a rottie, so I have plenty of experience with animals of all sizes. Ki’s family bred chihuahuas and he had a pitbull growing up so he also understand the needs of different breeds. I looked into rover originally to make some extra money to help pay for law school, but I decided to sign-up because of my love for dogs and all animals! Also, I’ve had dogs my entire life up until recently so I miss being around them. I’m young and active so I can take your dogs on walks or runs, yet I’m extremely responsible and trustworthy which will be applicable for drop-in visits and doggy day care. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile and I look forward to hearing from you and your pup!!!😁🐾💙 I’m currently in law school so I have a relatively flexible schedule to watch after your best friend and can take your pup on a walk whenever they want! Ki goes into work late so between the two of us someone is almost always home to take care of your pup. I will make sure to follow your directions very carefully. I believe that your dog’s safety & health is my number one priority so I will do everything in my power to make you feel secured in booking my services. Aside from the safety & health, I believe dogs should have fun in any environment they’re in! I’ll play with them a lot and care for them as if they’re my own puppy!

“Sean and Ruth took pictures to send us while we were away and we’re very neat and clean in feeding and cleaning up after 2 guinea pigs. We will be using them again for an upcoming trip later this month”

About: I am very attentive and track your pets (dog or cat) through DogLog (an app) and share details of your fur babies activities with me (walks/pees/medications/playtime you name it). Overall I am a great listener and will follow whatever protocols you take with your dog, if they are in heat or if they like to cuddle or not I'm here for the both of you! Whatever the case may be I am willing to adapt to them and their personalities/lifestyle. I know that dogs are apart of our family and I will treat your best friend as such. I have had dogs of all kinds in my life growing up and have house sat before with dogs cats and even chickens! I am aware of my surroundings at all times to ensure their safety and love to play with dogs. I do love a pre-meet to get to know you both as well! Just be open and honest about when you need me and I can work to accommodate! I am easily able to take care of your pets! When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client’s, I prioritize their safety by being vigilant on walks, getting to know them before my care begins with a pre-meet to make sure I build rapport with your fur or furless babies. Building trust involves maintaining their routine, communicating regularly with pet owners, and respecting their boundaries. All animals are different and I acclimate to their needs.

About: I am a current 4th year medical student and prior pet owner looking to help take care for, walk, or simply check in on your beloved pet. Given my free time now this year, pet care fits into my schedule in whatever capacity my clients need me. I would love to walk your pet but am also open to going over for feedings if your out of town or simply checking in on them in an emergency. I am most comfortable in walking, light cleaning, feedings, as well as house sitting or having your beloved pet over at my house while you are out of town.
About: What sets me apart is my reliable, attentive, and consistent care for pets. I focus on following each pet’s routine closely and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and understood while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. Whether it’s boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every pet with care and respect as if they were my own. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners can stay informed and feel reassured at all times. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and evening care. I always make sure pets follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, and any special instructions from their owner. My goal is to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship while you are away. I provide care from my clean, smoke-free, and pet-friendly apartment in Coconut Grove. Pets are always supervised and cared for in a calm environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions carefully to make sure each pet stays comfortable and secure during their stay.

About: Raising my very own senior lady, a mid-size terrier-mix, for the last decade and counting - experienced with dogs that have separation anxiety and need a little more comfort than the rest I’m currently working full-time but located locally in the gables, so I’ll have plenty of time in the late afternoons and evenings after 6pm for walks and pups! Weekends are usually open for the mornings and afternoons, as well. I can cater to your fur baby’s daily routine, maintaining their preferred feeling schedules and walks, keeping their day structured so they don’t ever feel off and can rest knowing all is well (even with mom and dad away)!
About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life and have owned two dogs and a cat. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring when you’re away from your pets.

My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule as I prepare to start law school. Since I am living at home and spending most of my time doing readings and getting ready for the fall semester, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, feedings, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If needed, I can also help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and house visits. The only thing I ask is that cancellations be made at least 24 hours in advance so I can plan my schedule accordingly. My home is located in a safe, quiet area of Coral Gables and is just a five-minute walk from a nearby dog park, making it easy to provide regular exercise and outdoor time. I have plenty of experience around animals and understand the importance of maintaining their routines and respecting their individual personalities. If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a comfortable environment with space to relax and play. Additionally, my mom is often home during the day, so there is usually someone around the house. I am happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or other preferences to ensure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible.

South Miami dog parents share their Rover experiences
Where do I start? To say Ameer is an excellent dog sitter is not enough. He is a bright and kind human who is also a professional animal lover. We went away knowing he had our backs and did everything we asked and more. There are not enough stars for him. ❤️

Gabriela was everything I look for in a sitter and more! My dog can take some time to warm up to people but Gaby made it so easy for her to be comfortable! I appreciated the thorough visit summaries and photos that were sent, it put me at ease so I had no worried while being away!
