“Bella is a very caring and responsible dog sitter. We have a 15 year old dog that requires lots of attention and Bella did an amazing job with her. Our dog was really happy and well-cared for. She was very communicative and had great attention to detail. She treated our home with respect and left it like she found it. It’s a great peace of mind for us to know that our baby was in good hands. We will definitely be calling Bella again.”
“Nathalie was great with our kitten Lucky. She stayed at our home for a week and she really took great care of him while we were gone. Our house was sparkling clean when we arrived which is something we really appreciate. She was kind enough to pick up some packages from our locker which she didn’t have to do which really tells you how kind she is. Thank you Nathalie! We will definitely be booking with you in the future!”
“I can’t say enough positive things about how Jane cared for our dog, Cookie while we were away. She followed all instructions, gave cookie tons of love and attention, and kept us fully updated on Cookies daily routine. I never had to wonder how things were going- Jane was always one step ahead of me! Jane was also a wonderful house guest- leaving everything in great condition. Cookie is an anxious dog but she seemed calm and perfectly cared for upon our return. We will definitely use Jane’s services again in the future!”
“Sandra was great! We can tell Jaxon took a liking to her and we owe her a big thank you for all the time she and Kookie spent with him. We will definitely use Sandra for future trips!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs my whole life, and have taught each one a handful of fun tricks, from 'shake' to 'roll over.' I also have experience with pet care that goes beyond playtime, including administering medication if necessary (most recently with a foster with a UTI). In addition to puppies, I've spent years fostering cats, both through a private shelter and even rescuing strays off the street during college. The experience taught me patience, adaptability, and how to earn the trust of each of the kitties with varying personalities. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding time, trick training, or giving your fur family love and attention, I'll treat your pet just as my own. I can't wait to meet them! 🐾 I'm a college student with a very open schedule to play with your animals/take care of them! Most of the weekdays, I have availability before 3pm, and if necessary, availability after 8pm. On the weekend I have availability throughout the entire day. I have set ups of food bowls and toys where the cat or dog can play comfortably by themselves. Also a park across the street for walking and playing.
“Aaliyah was very caring with my cat and dog, and frequently checked in throughout her pet sitting. She was also very respectful of my house. I would definitely book her again. Thank you so much!”

About: During the Covid pandemic I trained my dog tango as a puppy under my personal care. My senior dog boomer does not walk great anymore and I am able to lift him in and out of cars in order to take him for walks and vet appointments. I have looked after countless dogs both large and small for walks and overnights! At college I do not have any pets currently living with me. I am currently a Senior at the University of Miami Herbert Business school. I am available day and night to care for your dogs and have a highly flexible schedule! I have always loved dogs. With two golden retrievers at home Tango (5) and Boomer (13) who I have grown up with and cared for since they were puppies. I have stayed over at houses to care for others dogs, feed them, walk them and give them love while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been taking care of my neighbors Husky for 2 years. I’ve also done cat sitting for my friends when they go out of town. I come multiple times a day to play, walk and feed the animals. I’m currently working part time, my availability is free Monday - Friday until 5pm. When my availability changes I will be sure to keep you updated. I had a Great Pyrenees and Boxer, I would walk them for 30 - 45 minutes twice a day and when they had the zoomies I would let them run in the backyard.
“Sophia was the best best best! She sent detailed, thoughtful daily updates and amazing photos and it was evident that my cat felt comfortable and happy with Sophia. I will 100% ask her to cat-sit for my kitten again. Thank you for being communicative and patient with me and so loving to my cat!!”
“Nadia did a great job with my dog. She was available and engaged despite the last-minute nature of my planning, kept me up-to-date on how my dog was doing, and generally left me an apartment that was nicer than when I left, and a very happy dog. I would absolutely book her again, and I know my dog will be happy to have her back.”
“Pia was the perfect sitter. Super affectionate with our dog, always on time and schedule, sent tons of photos and left the house super clean when she left. We’ll be booking her again and again and again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Amanda. She stayed at our home for 10 days while we were out of the country and took exceptional care of our two dogs. From the moment we left, she kept us updated with photos, videos, and thoughtful messages that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our pups were not just well cared for, but also truly happy and loved. Amanda went above and beyond. She followed their routine, gave them plenty of attention and affection, and kept our home clean and organized. When we returned, the dogs were calm, content, and the house looked great. It truly felt like we had never left. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and responsible, Amanda is the one. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely work with her again in the future.”

South Miami pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cristina was fantastic. She understood the needs of our medium to large sized rescue dog and looked after him really well. She was polite and curious and looked after our home. She sent regular updates and asked questions when required keeping good communication.
I can’t even tell you how lucky we are that we found Selena to watch our sweet dolly dog! She took care of our girl for a week at our apartment and I swear dolly is going through withdrawals from missing her! She was so communicative and dolly clearly had the time of her life! Don’t hesitate booking Selena if you want an amazing caretaker for your pet!
Peter was great. Lola, my dog, seemed very happy and well taken care of. My neighbors told me that he was frequently in the park with her and she got to chase her tennis ball with dog friends. It wasn't necessary, but he left the house cleaner than I had. I would definitely contact Peter again.
Mohammad was great, he showed up early and stayed later than originally agreed upon in order to accommodate our schedule that changed. He sent several pictures and also FaceTime and took great care of both of our dogs. We will definitely use his services again. We had never used a dog sitter before so we were quite nervous but it was a very pleasant experience. Highly recommend.
Sandy was an amazing sitter for my dog. She arrived right on time and from the very beginning showed so much love and experience with pets. My dog felt calm, happy, and completely at ease with her — no signs of anxiety at all, which says everything to me. I could tell he was in great hands. I felt so confident leaving him with Sandy, and I would absolutely hire her again a thousand times. Highly recommended!
Ameer is absolutely amazing and I cannot believe my luck in finding him! His way with pets and with people is just perfect. He’s gentle, loving, thoughtful and smart. He took such good care of my two dogs for 5 days in my home 24/7. One is diabetic and needs two shots a day and struggles to eat enough. Both dogs also needed a number of other medications each day. Ameer handled all of it perfectly, and even sent me updates constantly along with pictures, so I never had to wonder how things were going. I can honestly say that I have never had such a worry free pet sitting experience! And that I never expected to find someone as capable and as loving to my pets as Ameer has been! And on top of all that he even cleaned things. I will 100% book Ameer again!
