“Miranda was wonderful! Today was the first time she walked our three dogs. She was so professional, responsive and sweet. Her summary was so detailed about her walk and feeding session. She even sent us a bunch of pictures on Rover app of our dogs during their walk. Highly recommend her services and will schedule her again for next time we need her help!”
“Mercedes is excellent!!! Super responsable and punctual. She maintains constant communication and gave us reports on each walk. We stay happy and confident leaving our furry son with her!!!!”
“Priscilla is great with our German Shepherd puppy! Our Raven just loves her and actually listens to her, which is great because she is definitely in her teenager phase 😂”

“Carrie responded quickly to my last minute request to walk my dog in my neighborhood. She arrived promptly at 7 am to walk my dog and did a wonderful job managing my dog's anxious/reactive behaviors (pulling/barking) when separating from me and when other dogs/people approached. She took photos and also gave me an update of how the walk went. I look forward to having Carrie walk my dog again!”
About: I excel at providing personalized attention and lots of love. I'm patient with puppies and know how to care for older dogs with love and special care. I always treat them like they're part of my family. I'm willing to do video calls to show that everything is okay. I send photos of your pet every day for your peace of mind. I currently work part-time, so I'm available to care for, walk, or play with your pet. I'm available almost every day; just let me know at least a day in advance. ☺️ When I care for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow their routines and needs to the letter. I'm very observant, patient, and affectionate. I easily adapt to each animal's personality.
“We met destiny the day before Rocky was scheduled for his walks. She was extremely kind, professional, and punctual. For the following 3 days he had walks scheduled and she gave me fabulous and thorough updates on how he was doing! I’ll definitely be using her again and it was good knowing my baby boy was in good, caring hands!”
About: I got my first dog when I was 11 years old and have loved pets ever since. I've always had doggies and have cared for them with lots of love! I currently work from home as a mental health counselor, and care for doggies and cats as often as I can during my free time. I can prepare your pet's meals, dedicate play time, and take them for walks. I'm a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small.
About: Honestly I just genuinely enjoy taking care of pets, I love taking care of them like if they were my own. I trained my mom’s dog Roby when I was 14. I’m currently on school break and don’t have a job. I’m free majority of the week, except sundays. I usually work out and then have the rest the day free. Depends on the pet, I know some dogs/cats need play time, which I enjoy doing. However other pets are calm and just like being petted.
“Trustworthy and punctual. I enjoyed my one week trip knowing Mabel would be walking my pup every day as requested. Seeing his photos on the Rover card made me feel like Mabel knew how much I missed him.”
“Lindsay went above and beyond exceeding our expectations! We've had dog walkers in other areas, and they were all fine, but Lindsay is by far our favorite. She sent so many updates and photos and spent extra time with our wheatie. She's a picky eater, and Lindsay even stayed longer to hand feed her her lunch! We will definitely use her for future walks and you should to!”
About: Here after losing my 18-year-old pup this year. I’m not ready to get another dog or animal, but I love them and would love to help yours. I had the absolute honor of having had my baby girl (pictured) for 18 years. Her loss has been difficult for me so I’m using Rover to be with animals because they make me happy - their unconditional love is everything(: I love animals with all my heart, which is why I promise to look after your pet the way I would have wanted someone to care after my angel girl! Your pet will be in excellent/caring/patient hands with me, I guarantee that! Please feel free to reach out about my availability or to learn more about me! I recently lost my job so my schedule is pretty flexible. Transparently I do go out of town fairly often, so my availability can be inconsistent at times. But if in town, my priority will be your pet if selected to care for them. I live in the Tamiami area with my sister’s dogs, so cannot watch your pet at their house. But very happy to come to yours and look after your pet!

About: I had two dogs when I was younger. Half a decade ago, I trained and volunteered at the Miami-Dade Animal Shelter, where I recieved extensive dog walking training and experience with dogs off all breeds and sizes. At the shelter, we needed to also learn different animal behavior, and this helped me a lot in noting when dogs don't want to be bothered, signs of stress, etc. I've worked with dogs of every kind: large, small, senior, puppies, ones with little socialization, with behavioral issues, etc. I've been trusted my my friends and family to take care of their pets. Overall, you'll find a loving, experienced, and reliable pet owner with me. I am currently unemployed, as I've been studying for an entrance exam throughout this summer. I am available at any time, any day that I am needed. I will ensure that your pet will stay within the areas in which you'd want them to be. Whether your pet is kept outside or inside, I'll make sure I'll crate them when you'd like me to, and overall keep them safe wherever they are.
