About: I'm an animal lover who has had two dogs and three cats as pets over the past 25 years. Currently, we (me, my wife and our 14-year-old son) have one indoor/outdoor cat. Since I work from home full time and set my own schedule, I am in a position to care for, watch and entertain your animal in my home while you are away. I take my lead from you, the pet owner, and will tailor my care for your animal in whatever way that will make you feel the most comfortable. I will only book one dog per day for boarding or doggy daycare so that I can focus solely on your pet and make sure that they are happy, healthy, comfortable, exercised and well taken care of. I'd be happy to take a second dog from the same home, however, so that animals in the same family can stay together.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring college student who genuinely loves animals and understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I have pets of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter boxes, basic routines, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting depending on your needs. I also know every pet has their own personality, so I make sure to follow your instructions and keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. Although, on Mondays, I am only available until 4 pm. I’m also happy to work with pet parents on a routine that fits their pet’s needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special routines. I also keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets carefully, and give regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing.

About: Hi there! As to experience with dogs, I have brought all three of our family dogs home- my chihuahua Blueberry, my Maltipoo Teddy who I taught how to do obstacle courses such as jump through hoops, run through poles, go through tunnels, ect. And lastly, I got my very own miniature Aussiedoodle puppy this past year named Kova who’s about 11 months old now. I have 4 years of experience dog sitting my family, friends, and people on Nextdoor throughout all 4 years of high school from tiny to large dogs. I can also help teach them tricks! I live in an apartment close to University of Miami campus where I live with a few other girls and we have my puppy & my roomates Pomeranian living with us. I’m looking to pet sit, do walks, and check in’s since I love animals and have a bit more free time this year! I also have a car so I am able to drive to pickup and drop off! I promise I will treat your furry friends like my own with the utmost care & love! I’m currently a Junior at the University of Miami. My only priorities are my classes but besides my class time, I am completely available to take care of your pups! Due to my class schedule: • I am available Monday anytime besides 3:30-5pm. • I am available Tuesday anytime besides 2pm-6:30pm. • I am available Wednesday anytime besides 2pm-8pm. • I am available Thursday anytime besides 2pm-3:30pm and 5pm-9pm. • I am completely available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but contact me 3 days in advance for weekends to make sure I am completely available. I live in a townhouse style apartment with 4 other super sweet girls and we have 2 pups living with us to keep your dog company! I have my own puppy Kova who is a miniature Aussiedoodle girl and we have a miniature Pomeranian boy named Gio. We don’t have much of a backyard but I walk my own puppy about 4x a day through the grassy front yard and to the dog park in our complex. There are also multiple parks around the area that I love to take her to that I can walk your dog at as well! My pup no longer needs her crate but I have a crate that I can set up ahead of time if needed!

About: I grew up with animals always in my life. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits. My family pets have ranged from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats, so I believe I am capable of caring for any aged animal. I have also fostered kittens before who needed to be given medicine twice a day. I have 5 years of dog sitting experience. I have a cat of my own now that I adopted from one of my foster experiences. I am a new nurse located in the Miami area. I keep my schedule up to date to avoid conflicts with my 3 nurse shifts a week. Days I have availability should be open to caring for your furry friend! I am a loving caregiver and like spending quality time with pets from playing, walking, and snuggling. I am very detailed oriented so will pay close attention to any instructions I am given.

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with over 5 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m also very comfortable with dogs who aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of other dogs or people. My own dog is reactive, so I’m used to being patient, paying attention to body language, avoiding situations that may overwhelm a dog, and giving them the space they need. Because of this, I understand that every dog is different and that some pups need a little extra patience and care. I’ve mainly done dog walking and sitting in clients’ homes since I’m unable to board dogs at my own house due to my dog’s reactivity. I’m reliable, responsible, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Most importantly, I absolutely LOVE dogs and would be so excited to spend time with yours! 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student at FIU, but I have a pretty flexible class schedule. I have two classes on Monday and Wednesday, one class on Tuesday and Thursday, and no classes on Fridays or throughout the weekend. Because of this, I’m at my apartment often and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I also have my car here, so I am able to easily commute to different locations. I’m also a very active person and love going on walks, so taking a dog on longer walks is something I would genuinely enjoy. I live right near campus, and there is a grassy area directly below my apartment where people regularly take their dogs out, which makes quick potty breaks really convenient. I also have one roommate who loves dogs, so your pup would definitely be welcomed and cared for while they’re with me! I’m happy to work pet care into my schedule and make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and attention that I would give my own. I have a genuine passion for animals and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also very attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, especially because I have experience with dogs who may be nervous or reactive. If I ever have any concerns about a pet, I will communicate them to the owner right away. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive environment and make sure the dog is happy and well cared for.

About: We’re retired pet lovers starting a new chapter in life. With all our kids grown and out of the house, we now enjoy our spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in Kendall — complete with a large yard and lots of love to give! We’ve had pets our entire lives and truly know how to care for and love them. Over the years, we’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and private clients, both in our home and theirs. We’re experienced with feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and—most importantly—making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Now that we’re retired, we have the time and heart to welcome furry guests into our home. Our big yard is perfect for running and playing, and our calm, peaceful lifestyle means your pet will always have company, comfort, and attention. Our home may feel a little too quiet these days—so we’d love to fill it with happy paws and wagging tails. ✨ Pickup and drop-off available for a fee, depending on your location 🗣️ English & Español spoken As a retired couple, we have full availability during the week and weekends. Our daily routine is calm and flexible, which allows us to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. We wake up early, spend time in the yard or go for walks (if needed), and we’re home most of the day to make sure pets are never alone and always feel cared for. Afternoons are for playtime, cuddles, or rest, depending on the pet’s needs. We’re also flexible and happy to follow any special routines or schedules. Your pet will be a loved part of our peaceful daily life. We care for pets in a calm, loving environment. In our home, they’ll enjoy a large, secure yard for play and exercise, and a clean, cozy space indoors where they can relax and feel at home. We’re always present, making sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow all instructions carefully to maintain their routine. We make sure they’re fed on time, walked if needed, and given lots of affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether in our home or yours, your pet will be treated like family.

About: I've been watching pets for my friends and family for many years! I've cared for puppies, older dogs and families with multiple dogs as well. I am a graduate PA student on my clinical rotations. I am coming to the end of my program and therefore have some free time during my final rotations and while studying for my board exam exams. I'd prefer to watch your pets at your home, I have a small apartment which isn't always the most accommodating for larger pets or multiple animals.

About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)

About: Ive had dogs since I was 7 years old. I am relatively young and I am super active and friendly and I love dogs! Dogs seem to love me too 🥰🥰 I work part time as an EMT so that leaves me with plenty of time to walk adorable pups. I have two small dogs of my own and with my own active lifestyle I have made it a routine to walk 30 minutes every morning and I bring them along with me ! Most of my day is spent at home or in the gym and I love being active so my extra time would be well spent with pet care. My back yard is fenced so my dogs are always safe to roam freely in my yard. I have flooring and a small section of turf so they never get muddy or bring in bugs. Aside from that when I walk them out in my gated community I always make sure they have a leash and harness.

Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sunset

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sunset is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 5,300 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunset. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunset. On Rover:

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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
