About: Experienced Miami Beach dog walker and house sitter with hands on experience caring for high energy breeds, puppies, senior dogs and cats. I provide calm, structured, and reliable care, and treat every pet like family. Hi! I’m Nelani, a warm, reliable, and intuitive pet caregiver who treats every animal like family. ⭐️ “From the moment we met Nelani, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such capable hands.” Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I’m available for dog walks and drop in visits after 3pm on weekdays. I have open availability on weekends and can provide flexible scheduling for house sitting throughout the week. I’m able to give pets my full attention during visits. Whether that’s an energizing walk, playtime, feeding, or calm companionship. I prioritize reliability, consistency, and clear communication so pet parents always feel at ease. I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds, so caring for them has been second nature to me from a young age. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need a slower, more attentive approach. I’m especially experienced with: 🐶 Puppies & young pets (routine, patience, gentle guidance) 🐕🦺 Senior pets (medication awareness, mobility support, extra care) 🐾 Anxious or sensitive pets who need a grounded caregiver 🐱 Cats & multi pet households I provide structured, routine based care and regular photo updates so you always feel connected while you’re away. I also practice mindful, gentle handling something many pets naturally respond to, especially if they’re missing their owners. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or overnight stay, you can trust that your pet and home will be treated with respect, attentiveness, and professionalism. ⭐️ “She treated our dogs as if they were her own and left our home immaculate.” I’d love to support you and your pet 💛
About: I'm really blessed to have friends with dogs! And I'm the official dog walker/sitter for all of their puppies and seniors! Just call me anytime! Everything depends on the needs and rutine of each pet and also on the requirements of the owner. So text me without hesitation! Your pet will be my priority 😊 I have and apartment without garden but I live close to the beach, a great walk by the beach board will make your dog super happy and relax!
“Irina is a true professional. She was reliable, on time, and best of all AMAZING with my cat. Irina and I stayed in contact through detailed visit updates, she is great with photos and videos. I felt very at peace while I was out of town knowing my cat was in such great care. Thank you so much Irina!”

About: Hi! I’m Avigyle, a yoga teacher, lifelong cat lover, and rescue cat mom based in Surfside. I grew up with cats and recently adopted a rescue cat of my own, so I understand how much patience, consistency, and trust matter when caring for them. I’m calm, attentive, reliable, and respectful of every cat’s individual personality and routine. During each visit, I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and affection—or give your cat space if that’s what makes them feel most comfortable. I know it can be stressful leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I’ll send photos and thoughtful updates after every visit. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine. My work as a yoga teacher gives me a flexible schedule, and I’m available for cat care and drop-in visits in Surfside and surrounding areas. I’d love to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a yoga instructor with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care into different parts of my day. I can often accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening drop-ins, as well as weekends. I’ll always make sure we agree on a schedule that works well for your cat’s usual routine. When caring for a cat in their home, I follow their normal routine and your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure doors and windows are secure, food and water are refreshed, the litter box is clean, and your cat receives the right balance of playtime, affection, and space. I’ll also keep an eye out for any changes in their behavior or appetite and send you photos and updates after each visit. I’m respectful of every client’s home and will leave everything clean and secure.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have been vegan since 2018 because I believe in respecting and protecting all animals. I currently care for three rescued Shih Tzus who have been part of my life for over 10 years they are truly like my children. This is not just pet care for me, it is a way of life. I have over 10 years of real experience living daily with dogs, understanding their needs, emotions, and routines. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to the park, and even to the beach when possible, always making sure they feel safe, active, and loved. My approach is simple: treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide calm, responsible, and attentive care in a safe environment. If you are looking for someone who truly loves animals and doesn’t see this as just a job, I would be happy to take care of your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work remotely Monday through Friday, with only one in-office day per week for about three hours. This gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the dogs I care for during the week. I already have three rescued Shih Tzus, so caring for dogs is a normal and essential part of my everyday life. My routine is built around their needs morning walks, regular potty breaks, play time, and a calm, structured environment throughout the day. Because I am home most of the time during weekdays, I can provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never an “extra task” in my day they are part of my lifestyle. On Saturdays, I am fully available and can dedicate more time for boarding, walks, and extended care. Sundays are my day off since I work on-site and am not available. I’m used to balancing work and pet care in a way that ensures every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I live in a secure, pet-friendly luxury apartment in Miami, just steps from the beach and some of the city’s most beautiful parks. The environment is calm, clean, and fully suitable for dogs, providing a safe and comfortable space at all times. In addition, I have access to a private home outside Miami with a garden and pool, which I occasionally use for extended outdoor time and enrichment activities, depending on scheduling and suitability. As a dog owner myself with three rescued Shih Tzus, my entire lifestyle is built around structure, safety, and high-quality care. Every space I use is fully adapted to ensure a secure, supervised, and stress-free environment for dogs. My priority is to provide a refined, attentive, and trustworthy care experience where dogs feel relaxed, safe, and genuinely at home.
About: Growing up with furry friends was the best. Understanding their needs, and wants, including bathing, feeding, exercising and loving them, has been amazingly fruitful for both the animal and myself. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule, so there is a lot of opportunity for taking care of your little buddy! I am flexible with setting an ongoing schedule or flexible when needed. Amenities: a large fenced yard, lots of sidewalk space surrounded by dog parks and a cozy home to host your little love. I have a huge passion for being outside and going for any type of walk which I always have an affinity to do with a furry friend. I work a very flexible schedule from home most days of the week, so I’m available almost at any time you may need. Weekends are almost completely available for me as well. I have a fenced, clean yard that’s quite spacious behind our house. There is a lot of sidewalk to keep us walking, and there’s also plenty of opportunity to have fun at the dog parks just minutes walk from my home.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I currently care for my rescued Miniature Pinscher, Jax, who is a huge part of my life. I specialize in small dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. - Care tailored to your pet’s routine and preferences - Walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship - Fresh water and feeding as instructed - Photo updates - Prompt communication and dependable service - Respect for your home and your pet’s comfort Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

All walks are done on leash, and I provide photo updates after visits so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

“I can’t say enough good things about Kelly! She was so reliable, friendly, kind, attentive, caring and sweet with my dog Benny. She went above and beyond to help me when I was in need. I am forever grateful to find Kelly and will recommend her to anyone!! I was so nervous about finding the right sitter for my high maintenance doggy but Kelly knew exactly what to do. Always sending me photos and videos while she’s caring for him. Checking in and out with me when she comes and goes. Always on time or early. 10000/10!!!”

“Great communication! Reliable Rover asset!! Caroline looked after our two dogs perfectly while we were out of town for the day! She also brought in a bunch of packages that happened to be delivered the day we were gone! We are truly grateful! Thanks Caroline!”

About: I am a senior dog owner and have that sort of knowledge only a long term dog parent can know. I am a yoga instructor, and fashion designer who generally works from home and looking for opportunities to get to the know the city and care for the neighborhoods animals. We can talk about overnight sitting as long as your animal gets along with mine (my animals are very calm vaxed and boosted) for dog walks I will leave my guys at home just to reassure my energy will be fully directed towards your fluffy fuzzy loved one. I am a freelance film artist and when between projects so I have plenty of time to take on caretaking duties. If my schedules blocked it means I’m on a project. When I visit a clients home i enter with love and trust, I focus on the dog’s needs and will let them releive themselves as soon as we’re leashed and safe. After our bonding walk I will gladly follow any instructions given on food or medications. If time and trust allows I will give a snuggle or two. When sitting I have two very friendly senior dogs that will keep your pet company. While they are on the smaller size themselves they are known to have very tall friends. When another furry friend comes to hang with us I like to find our unique connection, since all dogs tend to have big personalities I take initiative to make our new friend(s) feel right at home.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Surfside choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
