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.

“Heather was very responsive and great with our dog Faya. I would certainly recommend her.”

“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!”

Paul G.

“Pia was very attentive and kind to our cats during all drop in visits! Pia was incredibly patient as our cats got to know her, and they quickly started to greet her at the door. She sent us frequent pictures. videos and updates during the drop in visits, and we look forward to having her look after them again!”

Gemma H.

“Sanjana was amazing. We have an elderly dog who has problems seeing and gets easily confused. Sanajana made sure he was OK each day and walked and fed him. Our dog accepted her immediately and it's like we never left the house. Thank you Sanjana!”

James F.

“Aquilah did a fantastic job. She communicated with me when issues arose and took great care of my pups while I was away.”

J C.

“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!”

Jaden T.

“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: Hi everyone! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover with a lifelong passion for dogs. I’ve had dogs since I was little, growing up with both English Bulldogs and French Bulldogs, so I’m very familiar with their unique personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Spending time with dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with lots of attention, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of affection. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I’m a full time student at UM while also babysitting when I have extra time! I typically would like to provide pet care Monday-Sunday after my classes, around 3-9 depending on the day. I am super flexible, reach out to me!! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where every dog is treated like my own! I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, fresh water, and lots of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pup is in great hands.

About: I have trained my dogs since puppyhood and have taken care of all sized dogs. I have fostered over the years and love helping pets find homes. I am patient, reliable and loving. I am available when needed. I am free weekends and at nights weekdays and am work from home so I can be at home with any of the pets. I walk my dogs for long periods of time since we don't have a yard. I have cameras in my home to monitor everyone. I give the animal their time to be comfortable with me.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for dogs as small as 5 pounds and have even walked dogs nearing 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes! I also have some experience with cats. I genuinely love being around animals and would be happy to give your pets the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I work part-time and attend school online, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to work around different schedules and can usually be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and pet care needs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or preferences you have for your pet, and I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: "I love animals—I really do! I have had dogs my entire adult life. I am very outgoing and friendly, and the messy parts of pet ownership (dirt, smells, etc.) don't bother me at all. I am also very patient and understanding; being a single mother to two teens since they were young has certainly prepared me for anything! I graduated from UW and spent over 20 years in corporate America, but now I am excited to find a new path working with animals. I am always available by phone or text, and I am happy to highly attentive 'helicopter' hoomans, I'm here to help! I'm currently wide open to care for your pup. I am in a career transition and what better way than to hang out with fluffy cute animals? I live in a very dog friendly building. I have a fence courtyard where Ollie (my dog) hands out and we also have a dog park right outside. I also have a crate in my apt that Ollie laughs when I tell him he needs to go in there.

About: Being around animals makes me really happy since I was a kid!!! 🐾 I miss my dogs and cats very much!!! They are currently being cared for by my parents back in Brazil. I moved to Miami one year ago, and since arriving I’ve already done some dog sitting and dog walks around my neighborhood. It would be so nice to meet you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule! I’m available most days, mornings and afternoons. Feel free to reach out and we can arrange the best time for you and your pet 🐾 I visit pets in their own home, so they stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Growing up around 3 cats and 3 dogs in my family, I understand different pet personalities with care and patience! 🐾

“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! ?❤️?❤️?❤️”

About: I grew up with a mom who is a veterinarian, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including walking them, feeding, playing, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm a current student at the University of Miami, and I am available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Wednesday mornings, to walk/play/feed your pups! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including leash requirements, feeding schedules, and any specific routines your dog is used to. I’m attentive, responsible, and make sure pets are supervised and secure at all times while in my care.

“Jaen was responsible and took great care of my kitties, especially the one who needed daily medication at a specific time. She was punctual and provided excellent reports and pictures. I am very pleased with her services. I will definitely book her again. Thank you Jaen for your care, pictures and follow through.”
