About: This is a dual sitter account! Me and my partner will both be present during bookings 🐾. About Isa: Hi! Here's a little about me : As someone slowly trying to transition into a more vegan lifestyle, I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl and I'm always the type of person to see a stray kitten and feed them immediately. I am on a constant mission of rescuing stray cats/animals and bringing them to safety. I myself have a one year old cat that I rescued from a park and I help take care of my partners french bulldog :). I have experience taking care of a variety of dogs, whether they are big or small. Some dog breeds I have cared of include french bulldog, pitbull, husky, golden doodle, australian shepard, and many more! About Rei: Hello, I look forward to helping take care of all your precious babies. Since I can remember I have always fostered a variety animals in my home. Whether it was a bird, a turtle, bunnies, or dogs and cats; in my home they've all been treated equally and loved with all my heart! I avidly seek new experiences, and walking or caring for any animal has always been one of my favorites. Raising animals is not new to me, and neither is taking care of one that needs medical attention, or a scheduled medication. I don't think ill ever spend a day of my life not wanting to care for any animal, and i'm more than happy to help yours! Rei and I are both currently working part-time so we have a lot of flexibility when it comes to our schedule. We are both usually available on after 2 pm on most weekdays & weekends. As we are college students, our availability may be subject to change so just give us a text and we can arrange a time that fits both our schedules to take care of your fur babies! Rei and I have a fenced yard for play time in the backyard with pups. We also have a variety of toys to play with for cats and dogs as well as many treats. We always try to keep the house free of any scents such candles/diffuser in order to not harm my pets.

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.

Valentina provided exceptional care for my cat, Milan, while we were away for eighteen days. From the moment we met, her love for animals was evident. She took the time to understand Milan's routine and preferences, ensuring he felt comfortable and secure in our absence. Throughout our trip, Valentina sent regular updates and photos, which reassured us that Milan was happy and well-cared for. She went above and beyond, engaging him in play. It was clear that Milan had formed a bond with her, as he was relaxed and content upon our return. Her professionalism and attention to detail were impressive. Valentina maintained a clean environment and followed all instructions meticulously, making the entire experience stress-free for both us and Milan. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Valentina, for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby!

About: Dog Walker & Boarding – Loving, Safe, and Active Care Hi! My name is Agata and I live in the West Miami area. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of a Siberian Husky, so I understand the importance of giving dogs plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I grew up in a family where dogs, cats, and even horses were part of everyday life, which made me very comfortable handling animals of all sizes and personalities. Spending time with animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I love staying active and enjoy long walks, outdoor adventures, and bike runs with my dog. I’m experienced walking multiple dogs at once and always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and making sure every dog gets the attention they deserve. I am also comfortable administering medications when needed and following any specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy. My family and I truly enjoy welcoming dog guests into our home. Every dog we host becomes part of our routine, receiving plenty of love, playtime, and attention in a calm and caring environment. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship during the day, or a safe place to stay while you’re away, I would be delighted to care for them and share joyful moments together. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful dog! 🐾 When your dog stays with me, they become part of my daily routine and receive plenty of attention, activity, and care. The day usually starts with a morning walk, followed by playtime in the backyard so dogs can stretch, explore, and burn off some energy. During the day, they enjoy additional outdoor playtime in the afternoon, along with plenty of supervision, affection, and rest indoors. In the evening I take them for another relaxing walk, helping dogs settle comfortably for the night. Feeding is always done according to the owner’s instructions, including specific schedules, portions, or dietary needs. I’m also comfortable administering medication when required. I also make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while staying with us. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay like a little vacation while you have peace of mind knowing they are in caring and attentive hands. Safety, Trust & Comfortable Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime and fresh air. For the well-being of all pets, I also have the ability to separate small and large dogs both in the yard and inside the home when needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable and relaxed. Dogs sleep in a clean, quiet, air-conditioned room specially designated for my dog guests, creating a calm and comfortable place for them to rest. I also have experience caring for dogs who are sensitive to storms or loud noises, and I provide a calm environment with extra reassurance during stressful moments. My goal is to create a safe, peaceful, and trustworthy space where every dog feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like a special guest in my home, providing attentive care, a calm environment, and plenty of love during their stay.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Virginia Gardens on Rover is $26.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,029 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Virginia Gardens. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Virginia Gardens stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 .

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.

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.

To find sitters in Virginia Gardens with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Virginia Gardens. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

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.
