“Repeat repeating customer. Our little dog LOVES Paula (he starts to whine with excitement when he realizes we are close by) and LOVES all the other little dogs he can play with. I can rest easy at work knowing my dog is playing, being well-taken care of by Paula and her family, and is getting tuckered out!!! As long as we’re local, we will go to Paula for our doggy daycare needs. Thanks so much, Paula 😄”
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.
“Olga was great with Charlie. She sent a video when he had a breathing episode (common with his breed) to make sure he was OK and quickly informed us all was well once he caught his breath. She communicated very quickly and throughout the day with updates and photos. Would highly recommend!”
“Dayne is the perfect pet sitter! She took on my high energy Yorkie with separation anxiety willingly and by day two of her day care, Poppi loved her, as did I! My unnecessary concerns (I’m an overprotective dog mom) quickly disappeared as she sent many photos and updates throughout the day. Dayne was also extremely timely and flexible making drop-off and pickup easy-peasy! We will definitely be requesting Dayne again!”
“Janeth took great care of my baby Hershey. I was a little worried because he had never stayed with anyone else before, but Janeth reassured me he would be ok. She is very sweet, loving and caring with all the pets. I received daily updates and photos of Hershey, which was very nice. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”
“Tiphany took amazing care of my puppy Zev. He was a bit shy but can tell he warmed up to her & the other dogs. I could tell he really liked her once I picked him up and it was clear Tiphany & her family really love dogs ☺️! Plenty of photos & updates / quick responses, which I appreciated! Will definitely book with again & would recommend to others!”
“Mariana and her family were great! Communication was easy and I got updates and pictures of our dog. Our puppy had an awesome time during day care and came home happy and tired. Highly recommend them!!”
“April and Quintin are so Sweet with my baby, pia are 12 year, she is older and they care to pia so good! Thanks for your hospitality! We gonna back to choose you”

“Excelente. ??❤️ La Sra. Guina ha sido la mejor cuidadora que he contratado en esta plataforma. Nuestra bebe no está acostumbrada a estar lejos de casa y a veces se pone muy nerviosa, pero en casa de la sra. Guina estuvo feliz y jugo todo el tiempo. Me sentí muy tranquila y confiada. Aparte, el servicio es muy bueno. Llego a tiempo a recogerla, me mantuvo informada de todo, me mando muchas fotos y videitos. Desde ahora será mi cuidadora principal. Gracias por cuidar a nuestra niña. ??”

Gabby is the best!! We just moved to Miami from NY and she watched our pup while we moved in and we couldn’t be more grateful we found Gabby. Knowing our puppy was in a safe setting and in Gabby’s loving care meant the world!! We will definitely be reaching out to Gabby again now that we are Miami residents. Our pup came home sooo happy! Cannot recommend Gabby enough.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your South Miami commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,251 sitters in South Miami, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
