“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!!!!”

“Aquilah was phenomenal with my doggo!!! I got pictures every visit and updates as needed! Absolutely amazing experience. I was a little nervous because my doggo is on the hyper side, but she was amazing with her! Highly recommend!”

“It’s our first time connecting with Sebastian for the dog walking service and he was great! Very pleased with his punctuality and how he treated our family dog. He was responsible and responsive. He is very respectful and truly nice young man. We will be using Sebastian again for his services. I also like the fact that he is close and has a flexible schedule. Totally recommend him to others on Rover.”

About: Hey there – my name is Carolina and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and now share that journey with Sallie my 10 year old daughter who wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up, and has an extreme love for dogs with a very kind and nurturing personality towards them. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any opportunity to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with lots of time to love and play with your pups! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours. More time to spend with your doggie! Although we live in an apartment, there is enough space for your dog to have fun and be comfortable and feel like part of our doggie loving family

About: Taking care of your pet is going to be the highlight of my day. I’ve always had a pet as part of my family, but I recently moved and cannot have a pet as my own. I’m currently working until 3 pm every day, so I’m available to play and take care of your best friend(s) after it. On weekends you can also count on me. I am happy to take care of your pets at your place according to your requirements and their needs. I am a very organized and family oriented.
About: I’ve been around dogs and owned dogs since the age of 3. I currently have 3 dogs in my home that are all fixed and super friendly. 1 small Pom and 1 médium frienchie and 1 small frienchie. I am glad to have your baby in my hands with comfort and love. I am part time so I do have plenty of time. I do have school in the morning for only two days of the week. I have a fenced yard with a pool. I do take out my dogs out and walk them most of the day. Always have water for them, feed them twice a day and also have pee pee pads for them inside.

“Autumn is so wonderful!! She is friendly, professional, on time, reliable and took great care of my dog who warmed up to her so quickly. She also wiped him after each walk without me asking! Would 100% recommend!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for the past 4 years and caring for my own pup has given me hands-on, everyday experience with what dogs truly need to feel happy and safe. I personally potty trained my dog, established a consistent routine, and make sure he gets daily walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important structure, patience, and positive reinforcement are when it comes to training and behavior. From high-energy play sessions to calm cuddle time, I adapt to what each dog needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, cleaning up accidents, and reinforcing house rules while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your pet like my own, with patience, care, and plenty of affection. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I work from home most of the time, so I have a flexible schedule — especially in the mornings before 9:30 AM and in the afternoons after 5 PM. I’m also occasionally available during the day depending on my workload, which makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or feedings. I’m frequently in the Coral Gables, Downtown, and Wynwood areas, so I’m very comfortable and familiar with those neighborhoods. Since I already structure my day around being home and moving around those areas, adding pet care visits is something I can consistently and reliably commit to. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet I care for. Since I offer walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. For walks, I always double-check that collars and harnesses are properly secured before heading out. I’m very mindful of surroundings, avoiding unsafe areas, keeping a safe distance from unfamiliar dogs, and paying attention to weather conditions (especially Miami heat). I follow any specific instructions you provide, including preferred routes, energy level, or training cues. For drop-in visits, I respect your home as if it were my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, and any routines your pet is used to. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving, and I’m happy to send photo and text updates so you feel confident and informed while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for both pets and their owners every time.

About: I am a current 4th year medical student and prior pet owner looking to help take care for, walk, or simply check in on your beloved pet. Given my free time now this year, pet care fits into my schedule in whatever capacity my clients need me. I would love to walk your pet but am also open to going over for feedings if your out of town or simply checking in on them in an emergency. I am most comfortable in walking, light cleaning, feedings, as well as house sitting or having your beloved pet over at my house while you are out of town.
“Arianna is great. Rosie has gone on 2 walks with her and now when I open the door she runs right out! I will definitely re-hire 💗 Thank you for taking care of my fur-baby ✨”

About: I’m a very loving dog person. I love taking them to the park and running around with them until we all need a break and then charge up for more play time.

“Miranda has been walking my dog, Olive, for a few months now - and if I could give Miranda 11 out of 10 stars, I would! She’s punctual, reliable, conscientious, always follows through on any modifications to the walks we suggests, is an excellent communicator, and shows Olive so much warmth, love, and attention that I never have to worry about Olive when I’m not home. Miranda rocks, and I’m very grateful to have found her as Olive’s walker.”

About: Hey everyone! I am an experienced pet owner. I've owned four dogs, two french bulldogs, a shitzu, and a chihuahua. I love all dogs, and I enjoy spending my free time animal sitting. Since I have grown up with animals, I have a passion for creating happy, healthy environments where the dog or cat can thrive. I also have experience with cat sitting. I love cats and their unique and fun personalities. I think cats are spontaneous, fun, loving, caring, and crazy. I have helped many friends by cat-sitting for them and I loved every minute of it. One of my goals within the next few years is to be able to adopt a cat of my own. Although I love all animals, cats definitely have a soft spot in my heart. I am a full-time college student, pursuing a nursing degree. I love going out for walks but also enjoy staying in to study. I am currently a full-time student but I only go to school on Thursdays. Other than that I am at home and available to take care of a pet. I live in an apartment but there is plenty of space for a pet in the apartment. There is also plenty of areas outside to walk dogs as needed.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have over 20 years of hands on experience with pets of all sizes, breeds and personalities. As a devoted dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe, loved & well cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every dog like family. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, walks, or extra gentle care for seniors and puppies. Your pet’s comfort, routine & happiness always come first with me. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each pet my full attention and care. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I enjoy creating a calm, fun experience for every pet and making sure they stay on their normal routine while their owners are away. Whether it’s a quick walk, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I always provide dependable and loving care. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they may need. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and administering medications when required, ensuring older pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines and behavior to make sure your pet feels secure and happy. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels and stress signals to ensure a positive experience. I provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in loving, responsible hands. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own.
About: I’ve grown up and worked at my family-owned boarding and grooming dog/cat kennel my entire life. I am well versed with all breeds, sizes, and attitudes. I’ve also been well experienced with signs of bloating, alerting behaviors, and other needs of animals. I am a current medical student so my times of work are very sporadic. I am able to take a few hours out of almost every day to help anyone out! It’s also a stress reliever for me to see your pups! I am knowledgeable of how dogs react to strangers, I will keep myself and your animals safe as you see fit including crates, managing multiple doors/rooms, and leash handling.
