“Gilma has been amazing. She is very responsible and punctual. I have tried many sitters and she has been the only one I have found so far that I can trust with my fur baby, Xena and to come into my home when I need to be at the office extra hours. She is very attentive to Xena and spends the time actually playing with her rather than being on the phone like other sitters i have had. I highly recommend her.”

“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my dogs. She is super sweet and can tell she’s an animal lover. She was punctual and gave my dogs love and attention. Will be using her again!”


About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, from helping in a vet clinic and working at a dog daycare to caring for my own pets over the years. I’m very patient with animals, attentive to their behavior, and I always try to follow each pet’s routine closely because I know that’s what helps them feel calm, safe, and happy while you’re away. I work remotely during the week (8am–5pm), so I’m available for reliable early morning and evening visits on weekdays. On weekends, I’m more flexible and available throughout the day. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone during typical work hours and do best with a consistent routine. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow instructions closely and prioritize clear communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🪴💚
“Met Tyler earlier in the week to go over everything. He was super attentive and Echo was super excited. The day of he came on time and followed directions. He did a great job! Stayed for a good amount of time too!”


About: ¡Hola! Soy Sofi. Desde que tengo memoria, mi vida ha estado rodeada de colitas felices y el amor incondicional de los animales. Aunque no tengo un negocio formal de cuidado, mi "currículum" está escrito con años de amor propio hacia mis mascotas. Actualmente soy mamá de una perrita consentida que es mi adoración, pero a lo largo de mi vida he tenido la fortuna de cuidar a varios perros, incluidos algunos adoptados, lo que me ha enseñado a tener una paciencia infinita y a entender que cada perrito tiene su propia personalidad, tiempos y necesidades de adaptación. Además de los perros, mi experiencia incluye haber tenido conejos y aves, y en mi familia hay gatos, por lo que entiendo perfectamente la naturaleza felina: sé cuándo buscan mimos y cuándo prefieren su propio espacio y tranquilidad. Sé perfectamente lo difícil que es dejar a tu mascota con alguien más; el miedo a que extrañe o no lo cuiden como en casa es real. Por eso, mi compromiso contigo es darte paz mental. Conmigo, tu mascota no será "una más": Trato personalizado: Me adapto estrictamente a sus rutinas de comida, paseos y juegos. Comunicación constante: Te enviaré fotos y actualizaciones diarias para que veas lo bien que la está pasando. Entorno seguro: Vivo en un ambiente tranquilo y apto para que se sientan cómodos y protegidos. Si buscas a alguien que cuide a tu mascota con el mismo amor, respeto y dedicación con el que tú lo haces, ¡estaré feliz de recibirla! No dudes en escribirme para cualquier pregunta, hablo español de forma nativa y manejo un inglés intermedio, por lo que puedo comunicarme contigo sin problemas en cualquiera de los dos idiomas. Para tu total tranquilidad, antes o durante la reserva podemos estar en contacto a través del medio que prefieras: podemos agendar una llamada telefónica, hacer una videollamada para que veas a tu mascota en tiempo real, o si lo deseas, coordinar una visita en persona para conocernos y que tu peludo se familiarice conmigo antes de su estadía. ¡Mi prioridad es tu paz mental! Mi rutina diaria es bastante organizada y activa, lo que me da una excelente flexibilidad horaria. Empiezo mis mañanas temprano haciendo ejercicio a las 8:00 AM, por lo que tengo muchísima energía disponible para programar paseos dinámicos justo después de las 9am. El resto del día mantengo un horario muy estable que me permite adaptarme por completo a las necesidades de los peludos, ya sea para visitarlos de día o para quedarme a cuidarlos por la noche con total dedicación. Ofrezco la opción de cuidar a las mascotas en mi casa durante el día o visitarlas a domicilio, asegurando siempre un entorno tranquilo, limpio y seguro. En casa, tu peludo estará perfectamente atendido y acompañado en un ambiente calmado. Si prefieres el cuidado nocturno en tu hogar, soy una persona sumamente limpia, respetuosa y ordenada, por lo que puedes tener total paz mental de que tu casa estará en las mejores manos mientras yo me aseguro de que tu mascota mantenga sus rutinas y se sienta segura.
“Valerie did a great job checking in on my two cats. Was very responsiveness in communication and provided updates each visit. She made my absence easier for both me and them.”


About: I’ve had experience with many animals, including cats that are older and younger, small dogs, big dogs and had a husky of my own. I also do take care of many reptiles so I know how tedious instructions may be for food or care. I have a great communication skills to let you know anything during the process and as a service worker my goal is always to have the best expectations for you and to meet them. I am currently an online FIU student studying biology to become a zoologist and I have a very open schedule and just looking to have fun with cutest fur babies! I have a very big home open to all animals. I also have a big fenced yard to keep all animals safe. Asking for routines regarding their bathroom schedule feeding schedule and special instructions are always appreciated. Would love to keep them comfortable and on track when they return back home with you!
“Feliz de haber encontrado cuidadores para mi gatita. Nada como sentirse en paz de que su mascota está en buenas manos. Estuvieron los 30 minutos solicitados, a la hora establecida y le dieron muchísima atención. Recibí updates y fotos. 100% recomendados!”


About: From close friends to family, I have been entrusted to take care of their cherished dogs and cats (even seniors) through these past several years. I wouldn’t trade it for the world! I currently work full-time, but am available on weekends to provide unwavering support and love to your furry pets! I can also provide late night walks, check-ins, etc if needed during the week once I’m off work :-) I live in one of the safest neighborhoods with ample space in the backyard and around my area to give them the most fun walks possible! I can also crate your pet as I have ample space in my apartment. It’s just me, so rest assured they will be given the best care and belly rubs possible.
“I've rebooked Giselle to take care of both my cats several times for my 4-day trips. She has always been available which is important to me, dependable, efficient, and follows all directions. I can relax and enjoy my vacation without any worries.”

About: Raising my very own senior lady, a mid-size terrier-mix, for the last decade and counting - experienced with dogs that have separation anxiety and need a little more comfort than the rest I’m currently working full-time but located locally in the gables, so I’ll have plenty of time in the late afternoons and evenings after 6pm for walks and pups! Weekends are usually open for the mornings and afternoons, as well. I can cater to your fur baby’s daily routine, maintaining their preferred feeling schedules and walks, keeping their day structured so they don’t ever feel off and can rest knowing all is well (even with mom and dad away)!
About: I have had quite a few dogs growing up. I love to care for and play with animals. Your pets are my responsibility. Thank you I'm currently a stay at home mom and at home college student so I have plenty of time to tend to your furry loved one. I am very detail oriented and pay close attention to how the owner of the pet wants things done. I go by the rules and requirements your pet needs.
“Super sweet and caring to my fur baby!! Bella looks so happy to see her every time! The pictures are amazing and show Bella having a fun time! Tiphany is always super accommodating to my hectic and uncertain schedule.”

About: I’ve around animals my entire life. I’ve owned everything from dogs, cats, fish, birds to rabbits! Will take great care of your baby 🐾 I am a full time college student but have part-time availability on days i have no class. I’m available for boarding and other services friday afternoons to sunday. Available Thursdays as well :) my apartment complex has a park an patio area do your fur baby can play outside as well as various places to take them on walks
About: I’ve had a bichon frisse for ten years, I am very patient and love all animals 🐶🐱 I also used to have a cat all during highschool and college. Walking dogs would be a great way to exercise and stay active. Playing with pets is also a huge stress relief since I am in medical school and could also use the money. I have a pet friendly apartment however I currently have none living with me. If I were to go to a client’s home I would be very respectful of their belongings and treat their pet as my own.
About: I have experience with many different size and age dogs, since I have a big dog family at home. This comes with a lot of training as well. I’m very active, so I love to go on walks and runs with my dogs. I am a student, but my schedule is mostly flexible. I do spend some time at home and the time I’m not home, I’m in class. The weekends are free for me. I live in a pet-loving home, so there is no stress having a guest over! Dogs can be in their cage or if it is more comfortable to be without a cage that is perfectly fine as well. I also have the option of boarding or day care without my dogs.
Virginia Gardens dog parents share their Rover experiences
Courtney has been the best to work with. She is extremely helpful and is always helping us out with Bear. I also love how attentive she is with my dog. I am always receiving many updates and messages from her! Bear is always so happy after visiting with Courtney, and is always excited to see her. Highly recommend her watching anyone’s animal!

Kristel was absolutely wonderful with my dog Pepper! Pepper can be quite stubborn and is usually hesitant around new people, but Kristel’s patience and genuine care completely won her over. From the very beginning, Kristel showered Pepper with love and attention, taking time to let her warm up and always making sure she felt comfortable. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear that Pepper was relaxed, happy, and truly in the best hands. When I returned home, Pepper was her usual cheerful self, maybe even a bit better behaved! I’m so grateful for Kristel’s dedication and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pup as much as you do! Thank you, Kristel, for taking such amazing care of Pepper!
