“I had such a great experience with Paula. She took amazing care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was very communicative throughout the day, always open to my questions and concerns, and made sure to send plenty of cute pictures. My pup came home happy, tired, and clearly had a fun day. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who treats my dog like their own. Highly recommend!”

“Mayra went above and beyond today with our golden puppy! She was gentle, loving, and very communicative. This was the first time we ever left her with someone and she immediately put us at ease. She even took the initiative and gave our pup a bath! Nala was happy, smelled amazing and had clearly had a great day at Mayra’s house. We will absolutely book her again!”
About: Crecí rodeada de mascotas de todo tipo, por lo que desarrollé una conexión natural con los animales desde muy joven. Tengo experiencia cuidando tanto cachorros llenos de energía como perros mayores que requieren más paciencia, comodidad y atención a sus necesidades individuales. Respeto cuidadosamente los horarios de alimentación, paseos, descanso y cualquier rutina especial de cada mascota. Como paso gran parte del día en casa, puedo ofrecer supervisión cercana, compañía y mucho cariño. Mi objetivo es que cada perro se sienta seguro, cómodo, acompañado y verdaderamente como en casa durante su estadía. A typical day is tailored to your dog’s usual routine, personality, and needs. Since I am home full-time, I’m able to provide close supervision, companionship, frequent potty breaks, personalized playtime, walks, enrichment, and plenty of time to rest and relax. I intentionally care for only a small number of dogs at a time so each guest can receive individual attention and enjoy a calm, home-style environment. I do my best to keep feeding, potty, activity, and sleep routines as familiar as possible, helping every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home while their family is away. My home is clean, comfortable, and designed to help dogs feel safe and at ease in the 33172 area. One of its best features is the large, fully fenced backyard with a beautiful lake view, giving dogs plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. The front entrance is also gated, adding another layer of security. Guests can enjoy the open first floor and are welcome to relax comfortably on the couch or wherever they feel most at home. The surrounding area is great for peaceful walks, with plenty of interesting sights and smells along the way. Outdoor time and walks are adapted to each dog’s comfort level and behavior, so they can enjoy the environment safely and at their own pace. Because I intentionally care for only a small number of dogs at a time, I’m able to supervise closely and adapt each stay to your dog’s personality, routine, and needs.

“Claudia was fantastic! Responsive and loving! Otto had such a fun day with her and she went above and beyond sending pictures to let me know how he was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Idania and her family have been excellent dog sitters! Their love and care towards our Pecan was cery obvious! We are saddly moving out of state and will miss having this wonderful family in our daily lives! We highly recommend Idania!”
“Tiphany was very accommodating on short notice and was great to Auggie! He spent the day with her at daycare and made friends and most importantly came home happy and exercised. Do not hesitate to book!”
“Irene responded quickly to our last minute need for care for our Bernedoodle so that we could do an airboat tour of the Everglades. She took notes about his schedule and provided videos of our guy to reassure us that he was fine. We’ve only left him with family or our trainer back home, so we were hesitant to leave him with a stranger, especially given his separation anxiety. Irene was affectionate with him, and if we’re ever back in the Miami area, I won’t hesitate to call on her again! Anyone who has traveled to the area to do Everglades excursions, Biscayne boat trips or other attractions where your dog is not permitted, I recommend Irene to lovingly care for your dog.”
“Astrid and Cody (her pup) have been absolutely amazing with Murphy. It truly makes me feel so much better knowing that Murphy is in the company of a playful pup like Cody instead of being home alone while I’m away at work. On top of that, Astrid is so compassionate and caring, sending me constant updates. Working with her has been a godsend, especially with how easy it is to communicate with her. Highly recommend her to anyone that wants to leave their pup with someone that is trustworthy.”
“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!!”
“Valeria was excellent at caring for my puppy. She was really good about updates and made sure to show the care/love for Bridgette. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
“We were visiting Miami with our dog and needed a sitter for a day, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience! They handled both pickup and drop-off, which made everything so easy for us. We also really appreciated the frequent photo updates — it was so reassuring to see Bella doing well. We’ll absolutely book again whenever we’re near Miami!”
“My long time sitter moved out of area and I found new family for Bailey with Francine and Luis. The nicest people, were sending me updates throughout the day, answered my million questions and made me feel at peace. They have a big yard for dogs to play, great environment overall. I need sitter for 2 times weekly and the price was draw me to them. Thank you so much!!!”
“Mariya and her partner were amazing! They took great care of Hans. My dog is a little scared of strangers, but Mariya knew exactly how to approach him and make him feel comfortable.”
“Our dogs just love Frank and Marlene! They really care for the animals as if they are their own. Every time we need a sitter, this family is the first resource we check for availability because we know we are leaving the dogs in trusted hands.”
“If I’m ever back in Miami, I would 100% book Corina again!! She was so good to my baby boy and she sent me constant updates so I was never worried for a second! You would be doing yourself a dishonor by not allowing her to watch your baby for you!”

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.
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 3,193 sitters in South Miami, 87% 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.
