“Sam sent a note that she would be early to our place which demonstrated a facet of her exceptional communication skills. She is an excellent listener as my wife and I provided an overview and asked the right questions to get the right answers. Sam bonded extremely sell with Athena, playing on the terrace, taking her out for breaks and relaxing on the couch! Sam will be supporting overnights for us during an upcoming trip. Highly recommend Sam to help take excellent care of your dog!”
“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.”
“I needed a sitter last minute to stay at my home with my nervous dog and Jane was incredible! She sent lots of updates and was extremely communicative. I would trust Jane with Nari any time I am away.”
“Mia is a very sweet and communicative young lady. She took great care of my dog Loki providing pictures and videos of every walk and made sure she played with him each day. I plan on using her services again.”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs since I was a little kid. I would house sit for my next door neighbor and his two boxers, then when they had puppies I also helped take care of them before and after school. Then, I decided to get my own dog (Juco) he is now four years old, my ride or die, and the friendliest dog I have even met! But I love all animals and treat them all like my own! The summer months are a low period in my work schedule. But my daily routine usually consists of me taking my dog for a long walk in the morning, hitting the gym, then going to the office a few hours. After work I come home walk my dog again and spend time with him at the dog park! I can stay at your property while pet sitting or bring your dog to play with my friendly dog at my townhouse. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and has multiple parks within walking distance!
About: I’m an animal lover; other people’s dogs become like family to me. I have most experience with middle to small sized dogs, however, I have taken care of larger dogs. Family and friends heavily rely on me when they are out of town or work long hours. I’m always happy to spend my time around animals. I have a pretty flexible schedule. My weekends have more availability, however, I’m also able to help out during the week. Early mornings and late nights can be worked out if that’s necessary for your pet needs as well! I always treat any pet I watch like it’s my own pet. I grew up with dogs my entire life. Playing with animals also brings me so much happiness so any time I am with a pet, I really enjoy it. I understand walks are probably our pets favorite part of their days so I’ll always make sure to get long walks in for them to stretch their legs out and be able to burn off some energy.
“Gabi was incredible! She was so patient, kind and loving with our baby Meatball. She has a very calm and beautiful energy, we will definitely book with her again. Thanks so much Gabi, Meatball loves you!”
About: I have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.
About: I am a current 4th year medical student and prior pet owner looking to help take care for, walk, or simply check in on your beloved pet. Given my free time now this year, pet care fits into my schedule in whatever capacity my clients need me. I would love to walk your pet but am also open to going over for feedings if your out of town or simply checking in on them in an emergency. I am most comfortable in walking, light cleaning, feedings, as well as house sitting or having your beloved pet over at my house while you are out of town.
“Maddie was amazing! Incredibly flexible and understanding, I went away for several days and had zero worries thanks to Maddie. My dog has some health concerns which Maddie handled perfectly. Could not recommend someone more to trust both in your home and with your pet.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since before I was born. I love puppies and senior dogs. I’m an animal enthusiast in general and walking dogs is a dream job! I’m currently working part time(15hrs), so I have plenty of time to walk and care for our furry friends. Typically available 4-7 days of the week. I make sure to walk, feed, play, and let the pet outside accordingly. I typically set alarms or reminders on my phone with a schedule I adhere to.( client given or make one)
About: We're a well-reviewed father/daughter pet care team that just arrived in South Florida from New Jersey -- and we're thrilled to meet your pets of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and types! I'm a writer/editor by trade and completely flexible to meet your needs! And Ruth is about to be on summer break! Pampering pets is what we live for! We are animal lovers first and foremost. So we go above and beyond in our care because for us it isn't primarily about money but about meeting and engaging pets.
About: I’ve been doing doggie sitting for approximately a decade and officially on Rover since 2021. Our teens love dogs but at this stage in our life I (mom) is not willing to get us a pet- we have lots of love to give but we want to maintain our flexibility for travel. This is what makes Rover and excellent fit for us! I am a nurse who works until approximately 3p and I alternate hospital/home work environment. Our high school aged kiddos love nothing more than coming home to play and show your doggie lots of love! We exercise every afternoon- we are a triathlete family and love staying active, thus walking and playing outdoors with your pup would be an utter joy for us. We have a single family home with fenced in spacious back yard for your pup to explore. Front yard as well and healthy and active gated community with a park/playground near by which we frequently walk to and play in. We can and will implement any needs for your pet to make him feel right at home. We have old-ish laminate flooring and we certainly dont mind the occasional accidents that come with pets exploring and adjusting to new environments. We can adjust to almost any per routine due to our flexible work schedules. We want this time apart to be as seamless as possible for your pup and his/her family. I do not currently have any pets in our home and thus our attention and care will be fully on your pup. Siblings are always welcomed together of course!
“Azucena (Zu) took such great care of Titi over the weekend! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Titi was in good hands. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and showed so much love and attention to Titi, especially important since she’s a senior dog. We could tell Titi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Zu went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated her communication and kindness. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. Thank you so much, Zu! ❤️”
About: I have volunteered for 2 years at an Animal shelter in Jacksonville, Florida. Here i was responsible for walking, feeding, training, and bathing dogs of all kind. I would feed and entertain cats, as well as clean litter boxes and cages. I am currently a junior at university of miami with a very flexible schedule. Let me know whenever you need me and i’m sure I can make it work! I will provide as much comfort as possible to your pet. As an animal lover and dog owner, I completely understand how scary it may be to trust others with your pet. I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pet(s) safe. I stay focused and avoid any other dogs during walks. Your pup will have my undivided attention at all times.
“Sarah was great! She stayed in our house with our dogs and left everything very tidy. She was very easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures of our dogs over the weekend”
South Miami pet parents share their Rover experiences
Devin was amazing with our golden retriever, Honey! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while we were away. Honey was happy, loved, and clearly in excellent hands. We would absolutely trust Devin to watch her again and highly recommend her!
Selena is amazing! My dog can be sensitive she took time to approach and followed all my notes to make my dog feel comfortable around. She caught my dog’s heart right away and I was happy to see his smile from the photos Selena sent to me. She gots great energy, responsibility, and super flexible! Looking forward for more time with her!
April and Quintin were amazing. We had a sitter cancel last minute and they were quick to schedule a meet and great and instantly understand what we needed. We were traveling out of the country and quite nervous with 3 very individual dogs, they did awesome to accommodate all their needs and sent so many great pics and videos. Highly recommend no matter the size/personality of your dogs.
Sam sent a note that she would be early to our place which demonstrated a facet of her exceptional communication skills. She is an excellent listener as my wife and I provided an overview and asked the right questions to get the right answers. Sam bonded extremely sell with Athena, playing on the terrace, taking her out for breaks and relaxing on the couch! Sam will be supporting overnights for us during an upcoming trip. Highly recommend Sam to help take excellent care of your dog!
Morgan was nothing short of AMAZING! She stayed over for a week while we were away and not only did she take wonderful care of our fluff, but the space was super clean after she left! Our Aussie is wonderful but she isn't good with other dogs - Morgan had no problem keeping her separated from my mom's dogs while making sure to keep to her regular schedule! Long walks, plenty of play time in the backyard, and cuddles in bed were a regular part of their week together! I wouldn't hesitate to have Morgan take care of our little girl again :)
Sarah took wonderful care of our cat Leopold while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Leo was clearly very happy and well cared for when we returned. The house was spotless, and Sarah was great about communicating with us — especially when there was an issue with the garage door. She kept us informed and handled everything perfectly. We really appreciated her reliability and care, and would absolutely book with her again.
Hannie is AWESOME!! She handled my pack of Dobermans with ease (no small feat by ANY means) after only one meet and greet. She took amazing care of everyone, made sure they were well-fed and handled the pack dynamics perfectly. My babies were in heaven with her (she takes the cutest pics & videos!!) and were very clearly well cared for when I got home. I am so happy to have met Hannie, and my pups are obsessed with her. As a big dog owner I’m always nervous with new sitters, but I felt immediately at ease with Hannie (and my dogs were immediately obsessed with her). She followed all the instructions and went above & beyond in just making sure everyone was happy, safe, and having fun. Thank you Hannie!
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.
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.
