“Christine was great. She was very communicative, the dogs loved her, even my cat did. Sent plenty of videos and pictures and made me feel as if my furry babies were in complete comfort and care. Would definitely recommend! We already booked her for another visit!”


About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last 2025 and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash. Time Management & Organization: Experienced in caring for multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Reliability & Attention to Detail: I’m dependable and attentive, always paying close attention to a pet’s behavior and needs. Exercise & Engagement: I provide structured 30-minute walks and make sure each visit includes both care and positive interaction. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect; making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away, and giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently an online student so i have a very flexible schedule! Im available in the mornings, earliest 10am, and the latest at 8pm. I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, calm environment for your pets while also giving you peace of mind knowing your home and pets are being well cared for.
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!
“Nina was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pets with anyone while my family and I were away on vacation, and she made the entire experience stress-free. My dogs don’t get along with just anyone, they’re very high-energy, but from the moment they met Nina, they instantly connected with her. That gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Nina was extremely attentive and detail-oriented. She sent photos during every check-in, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and even provided photo proof that the house was secure. She also cleaned up any messes, brought in packages that were left outside, and truly went above and beyond what was asked of her. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! too!”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, especially with shy or nervous pets. I take things slow and let them come to me so they always feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been pet sitting for friends for the past 7 years, caring for both cats and dogs with all different personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and even went/took horseback riding lessons once a week. Since my mom was scared of dogs, I wasn’t able to have one as a child, so I poured all my love into caring for my friends pets whenever I could - playing with them, cuddling them, and giving them the attention they needed. Now I have a dog and I used to have a cat of my own, and both require daily medication, so I’m experienced with giving pets medicine safely and gently. I genuinely love creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels understood and cared for. I work from home two days a week. My office hours are 8am-5pm. My partner also works a lot from home so your pet won’t be home alone very often. I’m available for boarding during the week (as long as your pet is used to a similar schedule) and weekends. I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and cozy space. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My friendly dog will keep your pup company. Your fur baby is welcome on all our furniture, just like my dog. If needed, I can easily crate your pet or let them stay loose. Whatever makes them and/or you feel most comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of big and small dogs since I was 10. Friends and family have left their dogs with me and are in good hands! I have a senior dog of my own and know how much attention they always need. I adore every kind of dog! I am a college student but I have a plenty of time to take care of your precious babies. I’m not working so my attention will be 100% always on your babies! I will keep watch over them! Have my 100% attention towards them If they need anything! I can go on walks with them, have play time with them and give them the attention as if they were my own.

“Adela was great with all my animals! I had her do drop in visits during my vacation. She was very communicative. It was nice knowing my pets were being taken care of and loved while I was away.”

“Alexis was amazing with our cats! We were nervous leaving them at home for a week, but quickly felt comfortable with Alexis taking care of them. She sent a ton of pictures and the cats seemed to love her! Will definitely come back to her in the future!”
About: (just reactivated my account in 2026, new to Miami) I have volunteered and trained 3+ yrs in professional wildlife animal and rescue care. 14+yrs of raising my scrappy little Chihuahua, Cloe. 2+yrs with our rescue , Pongo. Attention to detail for each animal in my care. I prefer to be SMOTHERED in dog kisses. All dogs are allowed on the couch, bed, or any area in the house. Comfortable with simple grooming. I love to send 1 or 2 puppy pics per day. I also try to make sure your doggy feels like they are receiving a spa-get away. We will exercise in the attached "Bark Park" if weather permits; and we will definitely indulge in a night-night massage. I am comfortable grooming, brushing, bathing, administering medication, or tending to a dog on their old age . I believe that attention to detail and a warm heart are my greatest strengths. My apt is attached to a "bark park" for daily exercise. All doggys have free roam of my house. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and in bed for snuggles. I live to love all animals like Steve Irwin.
“Savannah is heaven sent! This was my first time leaving Dino under the care of a new friend. We had an amazing experience. Savannah is detail oriented, responsible, caring and genuinely has a huge heart for pets. I am grateful Dino was under excellent care!”

About: 🌸Hi everyone!🌸 My name is Makayla! Im really excited to be able to provide my caring service. I come from a family of animal lovers, i currently own two pets myself, a frenchie named Izzy and a black kitty named Kai! My skills are being able to give your pets the love and care it needs while you may be away to make sure they feel safe with lots of fun walks in the park and plenty of room to play at my home for your loved ones! 🌸 Always available for boarding at any time of the day, and for overnight pet/house sitting if needed!!

“Awesome sitter!!! She really provided and ton of picture and messages about my dog while I was away. Very flexible and quick on response to messages. Would definitely recommend using her service’s.”

“Stephanie was amazing with my pup. She always kept me updated and sent me pictures, which Tilly always looked so happy in them. I’m beyond thankful for her helping me out. Definitely will be using her again!!!”

“Sophia was kind, loving, attentive, and very flexible when caring for my cat! I never felt worried while I was away because I knew my cat was in good hands. Sophia treats your pet as if they are her own and her experience handling animals shows. I wouldn’t trust my pets with anyone else!”

About: Hi! My name is Camila. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been caring for animals. From saving baby ducks without a mother, rescuing a handicap kitten, to even watching wild lizards hatch from their eggs - I’ve always been in awe of animals. I gained extensive experience during my Veterinary Assistant program in high school. While interning at an Animal Hospital, I learned how to administer medications, bathe dogs, comfort them, and keep their spaces clean. I also learned the importance of reading an animal’s body language and pay attention to their needs. I have been dog sitting/house sitting since 2015. I have cared for big fluffy dogs, small dogs, senior dogs, and plenty of cats. I know that every animal is unique and has different needs. I’ll adjust to your pets lifestyle and make sure they stick to their routine. My passion is for animals, and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I’m currently available everyday. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them the attention they deserve! I currently offer dog walking services, drop in visits, and house sitting in your home. ** disclaimer** House sitting service is your fur babies staying in the comfort of their home, I do not stay overnight in your home. I get there as early as 7am and tend to their personal needs. However, for safety and privacy, I sleep in my bed and make my rounds in the morning. My dog and cat are my children. They sleep with me every night and have different beds for them to sleep in downstairs and upstairs. They each have a basket of toys and my cat even has a cat tower and a cat room where she can relax. If I would sit at a clients home, I would love to chat with you so that I can follow your pets routine. I do believe animals should roam free, so while they are with me, they will be receiving loads of cuddles and play time.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Miami Heights
Samantha took really good care of my little one over the weekend, and feel really comfortable and I knew I will relax cause she did a great job with my dog and keep me post all the time and make sure to do her care with love. thanks Samantha to take the time and extra to make sure that they where comfortable and care??

Kathryn took such great care of Spike while we were on our extended trip. She was extremely professional, gave us daily updates, and followed our care instructions perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. We will definitely rebook her the next time we need a pet sitter.

Lourdes was a phenomenal caretaker and went above and beyond for our Laika. She’s meticulous on instructions, communicates well, provides several photos everyday and takes her time to walk Laika. I strongly recommend her! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be using her services again.

She was reliable, attentive, responsible, and flexible. When I got home, the dogs were very calm and well cared for. If I needed to reach her during our trip, she responded very quickly. She had questions about the dog care which showed that she was invested in doing a good job. All around highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
