“Mario was awesome! He was able to accept my booking very quickly and I was able to drop my dog for day care within the hour of reaching out and booking, wow! He was great at communicating and sent so many photos and videos to keep me updated. He was home the entire time with my dog which was so helpful because he’s super anxious when left alone. Definitely recommend!”
“Christine's home environment seems very nice, and she and her children are welcoming. It was evident Fitz enjoyed himself. And got a walk, to boot--which he dearly loves. The sniffs are like reading the daily newspaper (for dogs). We plan to book Christine again, including for boarding.”

“Nora is wonderful. It was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter so we were very cautious. We did a meet and greet and it was clear that she is both experienced and conscientious. She is flexible, easy to work with, and seems willing to provide whatever you need. Lots of pics to settle new parents’ nerves and checked in to make sure we ask her any questions we might have. We look forward to developing a long-term relationship with her.”
About: I've been a dog person my whole life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pup's unique personality. I'm experienced caring for dogs of all ages, administering medications when needed, and making sure they stick to the routine they're used to. My goal is for your dog to feel like they're on a little vacation while you're away. I choose my hours at work and I am mostly remote. I am able to provide around the clock attention to your pups to give them the best experience while you are away! My house has a fully fenced backyard, and I have one friendly, medium-sized dog who loves meeting new friends. If needed, I have the ability to keep dogs separate to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time while you're away.
“Amy took great care of Isla! It was our first experience with doggy daycare and I felt comfortable knowing my girl was in good hands while I was away. She sent me cute photos throughout the day which was nice.”
“Casey was absolutely phenomenal watching our boxer, Matzah, this past weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive she is with dogs. Matzah came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which says everything, especially with a boxer’s energy level! Casey kept us updated, made us feel completely comfortable while we were out and treated Matzah like her own. It’s not easy finding someone you fully trust with your dog, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional doggie daycare or pet care. We’ll absolutely be using her again!”
About: Pet care has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience at my job as an emergency veterinary nurse since 2021 where I care for pets during high-stress, urgent situations. This background allows me to confidently handle any medical needs your fur baby may need. From administering subcutaneous injections for diabetic dogs, oral medications, or providing calm, attentive care- even in unexpected situations. Prior to that, I worked as a professional groomer for 3 years, so I’m very comfortable handling pets. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs. Whether it’s post-procedure care, or simply providing loving companionship, your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs for neighbors and family since I was 9 years old, and I officially began pet sitting professionally in 2017 when I started working in the animal care field. I work three nights a week, and during those shifts your dog has great options—either accompanying me to work for attentive care or staying home with my friendly pup and my boyfriend, who works from home. Your dog will always have companionship, supervision, and plenty of comfort—never alone. I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced half-acre yard for safe outdoor play and exploration, along with companionship from my two friendly fur babies. I maintain consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. With my emergency veterinary nursing background, I guarantee your pet will feel safe, secured, loved, and well cared for at all times.
“I can not say enough about Andrea. My elderly dogs have so much energy from the time they spend at her house. She is great and loving. Her dogs are super friendly and engage with my dogs. Every few days my dogs run to the door to leave because they expect to go to her house.”
“I’m extremely grateful for the service and the wonderful care my baby Nenita received. I was constantly updated with photos, and Anthony always kept me informed about how she was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. His family members were also very welcoming and loving with her. Nenita was clearly well cared for and happy. Without a doubt, she will be coming back!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. My dog now gets walked 1-2 miles almost everyday. I also walk 4 miles about 5 times a week on my own for exercise, so I’m willing to walk short or long distances for your dogs. I have watched my neighbors’ and family members’ dogs multiple times, meaning I have experience with walking up to 4 dogs at a time! I’ve been a stay at home mom for the last 10 years, but I’m a recent empty nester looking to help others with their busy lives. I’m flexible throughout the week to walk dogs and can’t wait to get to know them! I know I am trustworthy with your dogs because my dog is well-cared for with a spacious backyard, daily walks, regular grooming, clean/filled water bowls, is always well-fed, and gets treats with tricks!

Alexis was an angel for us. We were visiting Miami for the holidays and needed to drop our fur baby with someone since some places we wanted to visit didn't allow dogs. Alexis kindly accommodated us at a very short notice without any meet and greet. I have tried 8-10 different sitters in the last 8 years and by far, Alexis is the kindest and most communicative . Really appreciated her sending photos, videos and frequent updates. Thanks again to her for being so helpful.

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 Heights 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 2,463 sitters in South Miami Heights, 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.
