“Anthony goes above and beyond every single time. He’s always on point with Jayda’s medications and therapies, helps her move around comfortably, and treats her with such care and patience. She’s always happy and responsive with him, which says it all. His communication is excellent—daily updates, lots of photos, and complete peace of mind while I’m away. I also came home to a clean, tidy house, which I really appreciate. It’s such a relief knowing Jayda and my home are both in great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for dogs since I was very young. I raised and cared for my own dog through her senior years until she lived to 17, including when she became sick and developed dementia, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important routine and comfort are. I also have years of experience caring for cats, including rescue and outdoor to indoor transitions. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently work as a gym instructor with very early morning hours and attend school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and consistent care. I can easily adjust my routine around feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are supervised and stress free. I’m attentive to behavior changes, respectful of each pet’s boundaries, and focused on creating a calm, clean, and loving environment so pets feel safe and at home.
“Philip was fantastic! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for my pets as if they were his own. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came back to my cats relaxed and happy. I’d definitely book with Philip again!”
About: Dogs have been my greatest gift! I own two that are my life but also have the time and energy for helping others when needed! 🫶🏽 I can come to your location whenever as I am fully available weekdays and weekends as needed! Happy to take care of your fur babies! Being a dog mom myself with a big pitbull and a small schnauzer, I know the balance of both sizes while giving them so much love while parents are away. 🥹
“Marcy was outstanding. One of the best Rover services we have had. She stayed at my house caring for me senior doberman dog. She was very respectful, responsive, and sent us daily updates and pictures. Upon my return, I found the house perfectly clean and organized.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Blue. He really enjoyed his time with you. My family truly appreciates how compassionate and communicative you were. Blue gives you a 5 paws 🐾 for his review!”
About: I have a genuine, deep love for all pets in this world… mine have been the most important part of my life. When my baby kitty Lenny crossed the heavenly rainbow bridge last year, Gideon and Einstein rescued me. My focus is specific and consistent: “What does your best friend need? How can I provide this need to them? Is the environment low stress? Your fur babies are so important to me because I truly understand how important they are to YOU. Having no human children myself, believe me, fur babies are EVERYTHING! I put my absolute best effort into making sure your pet feels safe and experiences the least amount of anxiety as possible. I also assist with Senior day care cleaning, shopping etc. References upon request if needed. I am available to work five days a week and weekends if necessary. I’m grateful to have a flexible schedule; I’ve earned the trust to have access into peoples’ homes to care for their animals. I treat every single animal and pet as if they were my own. I make sure to have every day fulfilled with at least a little bit of furry affection or my day just isn’t the same! I have a pet-friendly, pet-safe, pet-happy home! Making sure all the fur babies in my home have what they need is “what I DO!” My sweet cat Gideon couldn’t get more nurturing! He’s very healthy, independent and gentle with his guests”! My philosophy with my home and my animals is: When in MY care, your baby’s safety, good health, and comfort is guaranteed in the anxiety-free environment I provide. I’m extremely attentive to their individual needs, hands-on, and I work hard at that. Their are no short-cuts, no days off with my animals.

About: As a pet owner for most of my life, I know the importance of attention to detail when caring for your pet. Whether it is watching your dog or cat while you’re away for the weekend or even a 30 minute drop-in, every moment matters when caring for your furry friend. I currently have a 4 year old English bulldog but have had experience with larger dogs such as American bulldogs, Golden Retrievers, and even Great Danes. However, I also have taken care of and been a pet sitter for small friends too like chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and more. Happy to make accommodations that fit the needs of your pet. Please let me know if they have any anxieties, special quirks, or things I should know prior to walking. I currently can walk or take care of your pet in the evenings or weekends. I can be flexible on weekends as to how many times you might need a service. Familiarity is important when walking a dog. I can make them feel at ease by greeting them with treats of their choice when first meeting them as well as understanding their environments and what they are use to.
About: Hi! I am Tomi :) I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. There has never been a year without a dog, cat, or foster pet in my home. Not to mention the several years of my life on a farm with farm animals! Animals have always been the place I come back to when life gets loud. I am naturally calm, intuitive, and attentive and most pets seem to pick up on that right way. I connect easily with all kinds of pet personalities - anxious, shy, standoffish, and the ready to love! I am patient and gentle, and I don't push. I let them come to me on their terms. It is one of my favorite things to watch! The way a pet softens over time when they feel safe. :) You can expect clear communication and multipe updates and photos each day. I am used to quirky needs, so please do not be shy about your pets needs! The most important thing is that they feel safe and cared for in your absence and I want you to feel fully at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I have two cats of my own currently, and will treat your pets like my own with gentle care and love. I look forward to meeting your pets! I work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule. I can either house sit with your pets in your home, or very easily fit in drop in visits around my virtual work. :) I can do drop in visits or house sitting/pet sitting services in your home. I provide secure clear communication around arrivals and departures and can accommodate all sorts of needs for pet services.
“Aleja went above and beyond to make my nervous pup feel comfortable! She was communicative and sent lots of photo updates. Definitely plan on having her stay with my girl again!”
“Rossana took wonderful care of our fur babies! She sent tons of pictures and the dogs absolutely loved her. I would highly recommend her, and we look forward to working with her again.”
About: Animals do exceptionally well with me. I give lots of hugs, affection, and positive attention, and I’m able to handle training, routines, and most tasks to keep them happy, safe, and healthy — even in stressful situations. I treat every pet like my own and always go the extra mile to provide amazing service. Pet care has always been a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, and caring for them has become something I genuinely love. I have pets of my own, so giving attention, structure, and affection is already part of my routine. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. I give them dedicated time, special treats, and the right balance of training and gentle discipline to build a strong, trusting bond. My focus is always on creating a calm, positive environment where each animal feels comfortable and cared for 100%.
“Marc is the kind of dog-sitter you want. He kept our 9 year old bull terrier happy & healthy while we were gone, but when we returned, you'd never know he'd been at the house (aside from all the updates, status photos and a little gift he left us). We were really impressed with Marc from the start. At the initial meet & greet, his focus was on our dog, as to other pet-sitters we've had who were more worried about the streaming services we had. It's clear he really likes animals and wants to make them happy.”
“Andrea is absolutely amazing! My cat, Archie connected with her right away and seemed completely comfortable the whole time. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and took care of everything I asked for. She treated my apt with respect, left everything clean and tidy when she left and went above and beyond to make sure Archie was happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. highly recommend!”
“Erika was amazing with our 9 month puppy Lola. She is very professional, friendly and kind. Lola loved spending time with her! I can highly recommend her services. Thank you Erika!!”
About: I have been pet-sitting for family and friends for about 5 years, cats and dogs! I believe patience is key and I really enjoy spending time with my furry friends! Please reach out if you have any questions, thank you! I work a 9-5 but my evenings, early mornings and weekends are mostly free. I live & work near Aventura area & I have flexibility outside of my work hours. I can only pet-sit at the clients home since I have a cat at my home. I am flexible, please inform me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!
“Jackie is such a pleasant person and an excellent care taker for our Megan and Saber and our home. We are blessed to have her in our lives. We cannot wait to have her back! Highly recommended.”
“So thankful Aaron was able to sit for our dog this weekend. He was super friendly, took great care of our pup, he is incredibly neat, sent plenty of pictures, and he left the house in better shape than when he arrived!”
About: I have experience with small and medium size dogs of all ages and I love to go outside and foster exploration through walks and runs. I I am available evenings after 6pm and weekends , and I am very willing to drive to and from your house and communicate as needed I have a yard with a gate but leashes are required for all animals . I will ensure your pet is entertained or supervised at all times
Surfside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jodi has a great demeanor and you can tell she is super responsible. She sat my two cats for a few nights and all went smooth. There wasn’t a lot of communication and I had to make sure she got in ok and check in, but that’s fine. She let me know when she left and listed what she did on the way out. My only qualms were that the water tank in the cat water system was completely empty and the litter hadn’t been cleaned out the day she left, which were clear on my instructions. Besides that all went well. She is a very nice person and I had a comfortable meet and greet with her beforehand. I would hire her again for sure.
Erika is absolutely wonderful. She took care of our dog for the first time, and I’m not sure our pup wanted us to come back! Erika gave standoffish and somewhat anxious dog a staycation to remember—great walks, companionable time outside, hanging out together on the couch, good healthy meals. She set up his treat puzzle, which he loves and which keeps him busy. She soothed him during a loud thunderstorm. She communicated with us—regularly sending photos and notes that reassured and amused us. Erika is professional, delightful, knowledgeable, and an absolute godsend for doting pet owners. Thank you, Erika!!!!
Elvira (Elly) was an amazing in-house cat sitter for my two girls. She sent me photos and constantly updated me on their happenings, with text and photos. She asked questions when needed and always responded promptly. My apartment was kept completely tidy and as I left it. Elly was attentive and followed directions perfectly- plus she herself has a lovely personality and was a bright and cheerful person. I will definitely hire her again and trust her with my cats.
We had a fantastic experience having Romana care for Buster while we were out of town. He settled in to his normal routine as soon as we came home — a sign that she spent quality time with him. Romana is also very professional — she was on time, provided daily updates with photos and videos, and our home was spotless when she left.
I can't recommend anyone more highly. After my original house sitter was injured and had to cancel the day before leaving for my son's wedding... Sophia came right over, met my dogs and took great care of them for the next 5 nights... including daily pictures and videos. Most importantly... my dogs love her. I can't wait to hire her again.
I’m so glad Rajiv was able to care for my two cats! Highly recommend! I was really nervous about leaving them for the first time and Rajiv really put me at ease, he was really communicative and sent me updates every day. My cats seemed to have a really comfortable time with Rajiv around and my place was tidy when I arrived! Highly recommend Rajiv to watch your fur babies
Janelle sat for our dog for a second time while we were away and, again, we are so pleased with the care and love she gave our pup. She kept us updated throughout the trip with pics, videos, and messages on how he was doing. She really kept us at ease. We feel so fortunate to have someone provide such great companionship and understanding of our dog’s needs. Thank you, Janelle!
I was out of town for a few days and Hanna was amazing taking care of Bruno. She sent updates and pictures every day which I greatly appreciated. Bruno clearly had a great time with Hanna. When I came back, Bruno was his usual super happy self. Thanks so much Hanna!
