“I’ve been using Kim for years now but this trip was the first time I had left in 7 months after losing 2 senior cats and having others diagnosed with chronic illnesses. I was very anxious about leaving but she was a pro as always updating me on how they were doing, administering meds, sending videos, etc. Can’t thank her enough.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Friends and family have come to me to help take care of their animals. I love all breeds and sizes! I am available every day to care for others pets! I can drop in and walk all sizes of dogs and am willing to move my schedule around to help out! I have experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs and have been around and taking care of animals for the majority of my life. I also have experience with cats, turtles, geckos, bearded dragons, and hamsters. My dog Max has some health issues so I’m experienced in administering medication.
“Gabriella was absolutely amazing with Archie! From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Archie adored her and looked forward to every single drop-in visit. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands while we were away. Gabriella kept us updated, made sure Archie was happy and comfortable, and treated him like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Archie!”
“Amber did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She was reliable, caring, and treated them like they were her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while I was away. She kept me updated, made sure they were well cared for, and I came home to happy, relaxed cats. I highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Amber!”
“Laura did an amazing job! She was on time and sent pictures everyday. I was very happy and satisfied with her service and will definitely request her again in the future”
“Sasha did an excellent job taking care of our guinea pig while we were away on vacation. She kept us informed with daily messages and pictures. We will definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for many years, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have two Labradors of my own, Coco and Gigi, so I’m very familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving lots of attention, and caring for energetic dogs. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I will always treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have flexible availability for drop in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, provide fresh water and food as requested, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit.
About: I've had a dog ever since I was 9 and ever since then I've been enamored with what it takes to make dogs feel loved and cared for. I've had experience with specifically dog-sitting for the past two years, staying overnight in homes with the dog for up to two weeks at a time with responsibilities such as feeding, walking, giving medication, and of course, giving lots of love and attention to. I'm currently a teacher (lots of fun) so I’m currently on summer vacation! Lots of free time. I'm more than willing to discuss and figure something out! I have a large fenced in backyard with lots of running space! I have multiple parks nearby that I'd be happy to visit with your pup. I have family members that are home all day available to tend to the pup's needs. Any other questions or concerns, let me know!
“Lisa and Dakota took care of our cat while we were traveling, they did daily drop-in visits for feeding and cleaning of the litter box. We received a picture of Duchess which is very timid and we didn’t think she would show up. Lisa and Dakota are very professional and have a lot of experience with pets. We recommend Lisa and Dakota for boarding and drop In visits.”
“John did an amazing job with our pups. The cute updates were highly appreciated! It was much easier to enjoy our vacation knowing everyone was well taken care of. We can’t wait for next time!”
About: Hello! My name is Caitlin and I am a pet lover! I have 2 dogs of my own that I adore. I will always care for your pet as if they were my own. I am responsible and reliable and will follow any and all instructions to give your pet the best possible care :) I am available for walks or drop-ins after the work day Monday-Friday and just about anytime on the weekends. I would love to be able to help out around my working schedule. I will always keep a very close eye on your pet and make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide me with. I will make sure to clean up after them properly.
“Stacey was so helpful watching my two cats while I went away on short notice. It’s so nice to know they’re getting quality care while I’m away. I will be using Stacey again if I need a cat sitter!”
“Shannon did a wonderful job checking in on our pup for 3 days. Loved all the pics. She clearly loves spending time with dogs and knows how to look after them. Thank you!”
“Alyssa did a great job looking after our three cats! They are very shy and I warned her she might not see them at all throughout the week. She got two of them to come out and befriended them! Would recommend and book with her again.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver working from home as a freelance graphic designer. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets all the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. I have years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments—including high-energy pups, cuddle bugs, and those who need a little extra TLC. I previously studied veterinary technology, so I’m comfortable with a variety of needs and love connecting with animals on a deeper level. My husband (also an animal lover who works from home) and I live in a cozy, pet-friendly townhome with a large green space right out back—perfect for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I also enjoy taking my clients’ dogs to Peace Mound Park or the Hollywood Dog Beach for a change of scenery and some extra enrichment. I also love caring for cats and have years of experience with them, both personally and professionally. I had a cat of my own for many years—she was truly my best friend—so I understand just how special the bond between cats and their people can be. I’m patient, gentle, and always respectful of their unique personality. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, medication (if needed), and giving cats the space or affection they prefer. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or a cozy nap, your pet will be treated like part of the family from the moment they arrive. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I’d love to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾 I work from home as a freelance graphic designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to be fully present with the pets I care for. Whether it’s taking regular walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Caring for animals brings me joy while working from home and i love the companionship they provide. I mostly care for pets in my own home, which is safe, pet-friendly, and peaceful. I create a calm environment, follow their routines closely, and always prioritize their comfort, health, and happiness. I give updates to owners regularly for peace of mind and carefully follow any special instructions to ensure a great experience for both pet and parent.

I can’t say enough about Mariana. The peace of mind knowing that my Minnie is taken care of and plants were watered was priceless. I love her check-ins. The family loved seeing pics of the activities, walks and peanut butter bone. I would definitely rebook without a second thought.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,897 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Southwest Ranches. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Southwest Ranches stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
