“I had a wonderful experience with Valerie as my cat sitter! She took care of my two cats for four days while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Valerie came to my house every day to feed them, and she ensured they were well cared for and comfortable in their own space. I returned to two happy, relaxed cats and everything in perfect order. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter!”

“Isabel was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative and responsive while we were out of town and made us feel very safe and secure leaving our 3 pups with her. They can be a handful and she handled them so well and thoughtfully. We would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time from home, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care for your pets. I offer boarding in my home and can also provide drop-in visits based on my availability. Every pet is treated like family and receives plenty of love, attention, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates while you’re away. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable while staying in my home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and daily routines. My goal is to make every pet feel at home while giving owners peace of mind with regular updates and photos.

“We were very happy with the care Jhanayra provided! She was very reliable, arriving on time every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were on their regular feeding schedule. Jhanayra sent updates, and it was clear our cats were loved. We will be reaching out next time we are away.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Since I was young, I’ve felt a natural connection with them and have always enjoyed earning their trust through patience, kindness, and consistency. I don’t see animals as possessions or objects—I see them as companions, friends, and living beings who deserve respect, empathy, and understanding. Whether it’s a dog, cat, rabbit, hamster, hedgehog, horse, bird, or even marine animals, I believe every creature has its own personality, emotions, and way of communicating. One of the things I value most is creating a calm and positive environment where both humans and animals can feel safe and at peace. I believe trust is built through patience, respect, and genuine care, and when that trust develops, the bond between a person and an animal becomes something truly special. I’m a disciplined, reliable, and detail-oriented person who takes every responsibility seriously. My goal is not only to care for your pet’s physical needs but also to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and emotionally secure while you’re away. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. My mission is to provide peace of mind for pet owners and a caring, stress-free experience for their beloved companions. I work full-time as the General Manager of Aromas Med Spa in Miami. Because of my professional schedule, my availability for pet care is primarily on Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays during the day. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care starting Friday evenings and throughout Saturdays. On Sundays, I am available during the day; however, I am generally unavailable for overnight stays on Sunday nights as I return to my full-time work schedule on Monday mornings. I believe in being transparent about my availability so pet owners can feel confident knowing exactly when I can provide my full attention, care, and commitment to their beloved companions. Trust, safety, and peace of mind are the foundation of the care I provide. I am 27 years old, originally from Colombia, fluent in both English and Spanish, and currently work as the General Manager of Aromas Med Spa in Miami. I live alone, enjoy a peaceful lifestyle, and spend most of my time focused on work, personal growth, fitness, and quiet activities. I am naturally organized, responsible, and very attentive to details, which helps me create a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I understand that trusting someone with a beloved companion is a very important decision. Because of that, I welcome meet-and-greets before any booking. If desired, I would be happy to meet in person, answer questions, and help owners feel completely comfortable before entrusting me with their pet. My goal is not simply to provide a service, but to build genuine trust with both pets and their families. I believe animals deserve patience, empathy, respect, and love, and I strive to create an experience where both the pet and the owner feel safe, understood, and at peace.
“Jennifer was great to work with. If you are staying at Larry and Penny Thompson campground she can take great care of your dog so you can day trip without worries. My dog was happy to see me but not upset about my extended absence, thanks to Jennifer!”

“Ara was wonderful! She took amazing care of my cat, Tini, while I was away. I could tell Tini felt happy and safe with her. Ara was responsible, kind, and kept me updated the whole time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Daniela is excellent with my cat Jett. She’s on time, makes sure he eats all his food and goes to the bathroom after. She always sends pictures of what he’s doing and loves to play with him! She’s a great sitter and makes sure Jett is safe.”

“We heavily rely on Sam’s support afforded to Athena, which has ranged from walks to/from dog care and house siting in our place. Sam is a pleasant detail oriented, exceptional communicator that our dog enjoys hanging out.”

“Tiphany is amazing! She has a great demeanor and great relationship with my pups. I came home to happy dogs because Tiphany took great care of them. I would use her services again and again and again.”

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets since I was five years old which has given me a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all ages sizes and personalities. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do - I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine , personality and needs to ensure they are comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to feeding plans, or just simply spending quality time with them. I want every pet to have a positive stress-free experience. I work full time 4 days out of the week. I have Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. I also wake up very early at 6 am and I always have a lot of time after i finish work at 6 to make sure any booked pets are well taken care of. With animals, it is all about body language. I would make sure they approach me and get to know me first before I reach out and make contact myself. Only after then I can tell if the pet is skid-dish and needs some time and encouragement or if they trust easy I would make sure to acknowledge that and show the love back. Going from there I would be able to handle them like they were my own and make sure they are well taken care of. These animals are souls that cannot express themselves with words and I make sure I can hear them and have them trust me.

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Virginia Gardens
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!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Virginia Gardens choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
