About: Recently moved back to Islamorada. 6 years I used to work as a Kennel Attendant, and Groomer's Assistant. Supervising and cleaning up after dogs big and small, While I know the job can sometimes be challenging, I also know how rewarding it can be. I walk daily on my own so exercise and being active would be no problem to incorporate, I have experience working with even the biggest of dogs and letting them know who's Alpha. I am sensitive to dogs needs regarding hot pavement, and would work to do my best to keep them in shaded or softer areas for walking. Since I worked as an attendant and bather, a simple bath and brush would be easy to arrange if shampoo and towels are available and your pet feels safe having a stranger do it. I would love being able to provide that little extra to make your dog feel like a personal client and special friend. I work a rather unpredictable schedule, but often have off weekends, where I'm home almost the entirety of the day if you check with me I can best let you know if I can host your pup. I care for a very very nice dog named Finley who would love a friend to hang out with, we have an outdoor porch and a big grassy yard, and I stay close by, playing with toys between chores or cuddling while watching a movie. There are also parks around if you feel comfortable having your pup come with me on a longer walk or to socialize with others. I am looking for more even tempered dogs to host but good playful energy is welcomed if they get along with others.
“Abigail was perfect. Communicated really well, was right on time and sent some great pictures. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be scheduling with her again!”
About: I had the good fortune to retire early at 53. Recently moved permanently to Key Largo. I have the time to properly care for your fur baby in your home or do walks or drop in visits. I’m not doing this to make a living. I’m available because I love dogs. I treat them like they are my children. I’m extremely honest, dependable and trustworthy. I like to teach each dog something as I interact with them. I enjoy training and highly encourage play and exercise. I’ve had dogs all my life. Many different sizes and breeds. I promised to love, protect and care for every one from the first day to the last. I will do the same for your furry friend every time I care for them. I can watch any kind of dog, young, old, energetic or chill. I’m retired and my girlfriend works from home. We have the time to watch your fur baby every day without distractions. Can provide care during weekdays or weekends. We keep our puppy inside our house. Will do the same with your pup. We exercise her on walks around the neighborhood and runs in the back yard. We can exercise your pup on or off leash depending on your preference.
About: My wife and I provide dog sitting, dog walks, drop in visits for multiple families in the Upper Keys area and have three fur babies of our own. We have been dog sitting for several years and have provided care for a multitude of canines, from dog walking services, fostering, and boarding. We are willing to take all canines that are well-mannered and play nice with others. We are also willing and able to care for puppies and older companions. I also provide obedience classes for shelter animals, puppies, and adoptions who need help with simple tasks like crate training, walking on a leash, sitting, and house training. Pet care is already a natural part of our daily routine. My wife and I work as a team, which gives us flexibility to make sure pets get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. We enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for additional pets fits easily into our lifestyle. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for just like they would at home. We’re a husband-and-wife team and longtime dog owners ourselves, so caring for pets is already a big part of our everyday life. We have three dogs of our own and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. In our home, we focus on creating a relaxed, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and downtime. We treat visiting pets like part of the family while still following the routine and rules their owners are used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we’re respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home. We follow feeding schedules, walking instructions, medications or special directions provided, keep things clean, and make sure pets get plenty of companionship and attention. Having two of us also means an extra set of eyes, extra attention, and more flexibility when caring for your pets. Most importantly, we want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for by people who genuinely love animals and will treat them the way we would want our own dogs treated.
About: Friends always come to me to watch their beloved fur baby's. They know how much I'll love them like they're my own. I know how I want my precious Astro to be treated if I'm away and I'll live up to those high standards with your precious ones. I've recently relocated to Islamorada from Los Angeles with my dog Astro. He is a gentle soul, very playful, very well behaved and loves other animals. I am looking to care for animals full time. I wake up early and can spend the days exercising and playing. Smaller dogs can be in my home. Larger dogs will be cared for your in your home as I am not in a home with a fence yet.
“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.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tavernier is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 174 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tavernier. 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
