“Met Tyler earlier in the week to go over everything. He was super attentive and Echo was super excited. The day of he came on time and followed directions. He did a great job! Stayed for a good amount of time too!”
“Haley has a special talent to take care of cats. My two cats are very shy and not easy socializing with new people. Haley was able to establish a close and warm relationship with both cats in a couple of days. Both cats came to greet her warmly when she came back home to return my keys. Haley is very punctual and organized with her daily visits. She communicates very openly any adjustments in the visiting schedule, and she is reassuring, mature, serious and professional. Her visits include feeding, taking care of the litter boxes and playing with them. She truly has a special talent to connect with animals! I am already hiring her again for my next trip!”
“Sarah has been absolutely amazing with my cats! From the very beginning, communication has been clear, prompt and reassuring. She has gone above and beyond to make sure each of my cats receive the care and attention they need, and her updates always give me peace of mind while I am away. Her positive attitude and genuine love for animals really shine through. I can’t recommend her enough and will continue booking with her!”
About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!
“Sofia was a perfect sitter for my two cats Uma and Nya while we were away visiting family during Memorial Day weekend. She was prompt to show up for feedings, playtime and followed directions to the tee! Would not hesitate to ask her to care for them again! The time of her visit, and pictures gave us peace of mind during our time 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.
“This is the second time Alejandra take care of my 3 cats and I am very happy with her service. She is very responsible and attentive with the cats. Communication with her is also fast and clear. I will definitely hire her again for this service when needed. Thank you Alejandra!”
About: I’m super flexible when it comes to my schedule and will make time for any family and pet, I enjoy spending time with all animals and families. I work full time however after 6pm I am available especially to house/pet sit, I’m studying for my mcat so all pets will keep me company! Breaks are important while studying , and all my attention will be one them by playing, walking them or anything special they require My youngest rescue puppy Bruno has been crate trained and his crate is his safe space. We have special fences in the house that safely lock every time and all our pets have AirTags on them to make sure they’re home safe plus we make sure all doors are properly secured anytime we leave the house.
“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: Hey there! I’m Mac, and I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 20+ years. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, from energetic puppies to older ones that need a little extra attention. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s taking them for walks, making sure they’re fed and comfy, or just hanging out and giving them all the belly rubs they deserve! I know how important it is to feel like your dog is safe and happy while you’re away, so I’m here to ensure that your babies are in a loving home. You can trust me to treat your pup like they’re my own, and can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Also, it says I have 4 dogs at home. I only have 3. I just haven’t deleted the profile of my late baby Sterling. I work from home so I will not have any distractions except for loving and attending to your baby. I have three dogs of my own and they are very social! I live in a house with a big back yard. I have 3 english bulldogs of my own. I frequently volunteer and foster dogs in our spare time. I lost my English Bulldog to cancer last March and am very familiar with handling any sort of medical care due to the medical care I had to administer to him. Truly dogs are what make me happiest.
About: I’ve taken care of friend’s and family’s pets for years when they’re away on vacation/travels. I pay attention to detail, meaning that I won’t just feed them and meet their basic needs; I will also share quality time with them so that they don’t feel alone, bored, or anxious while you’re gone. I’m a teacher, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pet now in the summer time. I’m very active and enjoy a good long walk, but I’m also very calm and focused. Your pet will feel like they have a companion while also having their needs met. I can easily follow directions in terms of what your pet needs to be safe in their home. Whether it’s getting them in a crate, walking around the neighborhood with their leash, playing outside if you have a patio, etc.
“Shawn and his kids provided amazing care for our dog Rosie while we were out of town. We would definitely definitely trust them to take care of Rosie again. Great communication and you could tell they love animals.”
About: Looking to leave your beloved pet in care as sweet and tender as yours? I’m here to care for them just as carefully as you would! I am a masters student at the University of Miami studying at the School of Architecture. As you can imagine it is a heavy program and summer is my time to rest and rejuvenate. However tuition is crazy and I need a good way to make some money and do something I love that won’t be as rigorous. Pet care seemed to be a happy medium of the two and my schedule is vastly open to it! I live in a one bedroom apartment in South Miami, and I currently have no pets of my own. My apartment is positioned well to reach outside quickly for bathroom breaks. I do not have a backyard but there is a large park very nearby which I would use to allow any pets lots of fun outside. When coming to your home I am open to following any instructions which help keep your baby comfortable and happy.
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for animals. I stick closely to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I have experience caring for both energetic pets and senior animals, including those that need extra patience or special attention. I also prioritize clear communication, providing regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. On top of that, I treat your home with respect—keeping it clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I currently work part time at JETSET Pilates on Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:30am-2:30pm. I will be out of town for the summer May 15th, returning in July I have experience with a verity of pets and living situations. I’ve cared for dogs with a fenced in yard along with yards without. I am very flexible
“Karla was a doll! She came to meet our 3 boys and they warmed right up to her! We needed someone to come by a couple of times a day to feed them and let them outside. She sent great updates on how the boys were doing and always sent pics as well! She was prompt with the times we had discussed and took such great care of our pups! ?❤️?❤️?❤️”
“Isabella responded to my VERY last minute request for drop-in checks very quickly. We received notifications each time she checked in on the puppy and she sent lots of pictures. Everything went smoothly for our first rover.com use and we will definitely use Isabella and the service again. I'm a fan for sure! Thank you for providing such a fabulous service!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Miami
While we were away in Europe for ten days, Alejandra cared for Poppy, our little puppy who needs extra attention and training, and she was amazing. She followed every instruction carefully, stayed in touch with frequent check-ins pictures and videos, and was always available when we needed her. She was proactive, too, letting us know when food or treats were running low. Having Alejandra looking after Poppy gave us total peace of mind, she was reliable, attentive, and genuinely sweet with poppy.
I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Bella while I was away! She came by for drop-in visits exactly as scheduled and made sure Bella was well taken care of every time. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. It was clear that Bella was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention during each visit. I truly appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
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!

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 South Miami 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 .

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 South Miami with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
