About: I've been a dog owner for my entire life and have learned how to care for them in a way that best supports their needs and happiness. Not all dogs are created equal which means not all of them have the same needs and I understand that as a dog owner myself. I have experience taking dogs on walks, bathing them, playing with them, feeding them to meet their individual dietary needs, and responding to their body language to better help make them comfortable. As a dog owner, this is a role I have taken on from a very young age. Besides being a dog owner myself, I've provided pet care for family members pets of all ages and sizes! I see dogs as part of the family and understand they need love, care, and attention! I am available to care for pets throughout the week and the weekend. Whether you need a pet sitter to walk your dog in the middle of your work day or while you're on a day trip on a weekend! I care for pets in your home by staying as close to their routine as possible so that trust can be built with them and me. This means, staying on schedule for feeding and walking times and playing with them in the same ways that you would!

About: I’ve taken care of friend’s and family’s pets for years when they’re away on vacation/travels. I pay attention to detail, meaning that I won’t just feed them and meet their basic needs; I will also share quality time with them so that they don’t feel alone, bored, or anxious while you’re gone. I’m a teacher on sabbatical, so my availability is pretty flexible nowadays. I’m very active and enjoy a good long walk, but I’m also very calm and focused. Your pet will feel like they have a companion while also having their needs met. I can easily follow directions in terms of what your pet needs to be safe in their home. Whether it’s getting them in a crate, walking around the neighborhood with their leash, playing outside if you have a patio, etc.
About: I have been working as a vet tech for the last 6 years and I love providing the proper care and love for your fur babies! I am able to provide your fur baby afternoon and evening walks and stop by on the weekends if needed for additional love and care! I am able to stop by your house and stay for an extended amount of hours and provide care for your fur babies and give them lots of love!
About: Patient, loving, and experienced with all age dogs; from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I provide safe, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care is my passion and priority! With a flexible schedule and lots of free time, your furry friend gets my full love and attention every day. Your fur babies will be cared for in a calm, structured, and loving home where routine, safety, emotional comfort, and gentle care, reassurance, and warmth come first
“Priscilla was the best! She always answered my texts and sent pictures about what Nova was doing. She was always prompt and super flexible with time. I definitely recommend her!”

“Arianna is very sweet and caring with Ginger. She was patient to allow Ginger to warm up to her, and we greatly appreciate her cleaning up our home if there was an accident left behind. We do recommend her absolutely.”

About: My family has always had pets of all types and they are family to me. I have two small friendly dogs and walking, and playing with them is just what I love! I’ve taken care of many neighbors/ friend’s pets as well, at my house and theirs. Being a working from home mom I can also do drop ins at your home to check your pup is ok and let out during the day. I also offer doggy day care at my home, so your pup never needs to be alone. I live extremely close to Miami International airport and will happily work with you to coordinate drop off/ pick ups to make it hassle free. Working from home allows me to provide your pet with love and care all day. I have two small friendly dogs that love to play with other dogs, so your pup will enjoy lots of playtime and walks! There is no shortage of attention and love! My home provides a safe and secure environment for pets, complete with a fenced yard. I have two friendly dogs to play with and two children who love pets as much as me!
“Mariya and her partner gave me a lot of confidence from the start. It was their first time walking my dogs, and I’ll definitely be calling them again. My dogs are big and sometimes unpredictable around other dogs or if they see a cat, so I really appreciated how well everything went. I’m very happy with the experience and will absolutely reach out again. Thank you!”

“Very communicative about the whole process of taking care of my pups which is super important to me! 10/10 recommend and trust with the pups :) ❤️ Thank you for everything!!”


About: I love animals! I have taken care of my 16 year old chihuahua since he was born. He’s my entire world. My family/ friends also rely on me to feed watch their fur babies and I always show up with a smile. I am currently a full time student with availability Friday-Sunday. Being around animals helps me calm down and I will make sure they feel the same way. I have a room full of toys and a crate to keep your dog entertained and safe. My neighborhood is very walkable so we will go on many walks.
“Excelente experiencia! Fue una persona muy responsable, amable y cuidadosa con mi Barney. La trató con mucho cariño, cumplió perfectamente con el paseo y me mantuvo tranquilo sabiendo que estaba en buenas manos. Sin duda volvería a contratarla y la recomiendo totalmente.”


About: I've shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and currently have a young puppy after recently saying goodbye to my two beloved senior Bulldogs. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all ages and personalities. While I'm newer to formal pet sitting, I've cared for neighbors' dogs while they were traveling and understand how important consistency and trust are. As a registered nurse and self-employed professional, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home. My focus is on drop-in visits where I can provide companionship, fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks if requested, medication when appropriate, and lots of love and attention. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits throughout the day. I can accommodate up to three visits daily for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention. At this time, I specialize in drop-in visits and am not available for overnight house sitting. our pet's safety and comfort are always my priority. Since I specialize in drop-in visits, your pet can remain relaxed in the familiar surroundings of your home and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, or any special needs, and I'll always make sure your home is secure before I leave. You'll receive updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of a veterinary magnet program where I earned my CVA certification and got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I spent around three years working in dog training as well. I’ve fostered both dogs and cats, which gave me experience helping animals with different personalities and needs adjust and feel comfortable. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’m comfortable handling different personalities and needs, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while in my care. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I have had pets in my home my whole life until my dog recently passed away. I was reluctant of letting in another because I didn’t want to go through the grief all over again. Recently, I have had a feeling to help out as many animals as I can. Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy it happened!!! I want to give these babies love and support no matter the cost. I do this by volunteering at the shelter, and hopefully being able to take care of your pets through Rover!!! I am available whenever needed! I am a full time student with a flexible schedule. I will work around the times that fit your needs. I take dogs out for walks, babysit, and take them on day trips to stimulate themselves. I know bigger dogs especially get stressed out so I like to get them moving. I have toys available and a big land for them to play.
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.
About: I have about one year of hands-on experience working and living in a dog boarding facility, where I spent most of my time caring for dogs and making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved. During this time, I gained experience with daily pet care, walks, playtime, feeding routines, supervision, and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. I was also involved in welcoming and returning pets to their families, creating a positive and trustworthy experience for both the dogs and their owners. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and believe every pet deserves patience, attention, exercise, and affection. I am responsible, active, and committed to providing a safe and happy environment while your furry friend is in my care. Durante aproximadamente un año tuve la oportunidad de vivir y trabajar en un hotel canino, donde compartí gran parte de mi tiempo con perros de diferentes tamaños, edades y personalidades. Esta experiencia me permitió desarrollar un profundo conocimiento sobre el cuidado diario de las mascotas, sus necesidades y la importancia de brindarles atención, seguridad y cariño. Mis responsabilidades incluían el cuidado general de los perros, paseos, juegos, supervisión de sus rutinas, alimentación, acompañamiento y trato personalizado con cada animal. También participé en la recepción y entrega de las mascotas, teniendo contacto directo con los dueños y asegurándome de que cada perro tuviera una experiencia cómoda y positiva. Soy una persona responsable, activa y comprometida con el bienestar de los animales. Disfruto pasar tiempo con ellos y entiendo la importancia de que cada mascota se sienta cuidada, acompañada y en un ambiente seguro mientras sus dueños no están. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and staying active. I have experience creating daily routines for dogs, including walks, playtime, feeding, and giving them attention and companionship. I make time to provide consistent care and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I enjoy incorporating walks and outdoor activities into my day, while also giving pets the patience and affection they need. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special needs their pet may have. In my home or my client’s home, I focus on providing attention, companionship, playtime, and regular walks while respecting each pet’s personality and habits. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and cared for, just like they are part of the family.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was a child, and they’ve always been a big part of my family. Over the years, friends, family, and even people I didn’t know at first have trusted me with their pets after hearing about me through others. Taking care of animals truly brings me joy, and I love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and, of course, get plenty of love and cuddles! My schedule is very flexible. I've time to take care of your pets whenever you need it. I'm always available during week days and some weekends I have many things to play with them, your pet will never be bored! I will always follow the instructions given on how to feed your pet and each of them will have a container to eat in the case is needed it. In any case, if there is any other specific instruction for your pet needs please let me know in advance.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. With 5+ years of hands-on experience, I’m the go-to for bathing, walks, flea treatments, nail buffing, deshedding, and gentle care for nervous or senior pups. Friends, neighbors, and local pet parents trust me to treat their fur babies like family every single time. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I plan my day around scheduled dog walks and pet sitting, ensuring I’m always available when clients need me. I allocate specific time blocks in the morning and evening for dog walks, and I dedicate time in between for feeding, playing, and general pet care. I prioritize safety by maintaining a clean and pet-friendly environment, whether in my home or the client’s. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner, ensuring that pets are always safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I monitor them closely, provide fresh water, and take necessary precautions like locking gates or using leashes for walks.

Excelente experiencia! Fue una persona muy responsable, amable y cuidadosa con mi Barney. La trató con mucho cariño, cumplió perfectamente con el paseo y me mantuvo tranquilo sabiendo que estaba en buenas manos. Sin duda volvería a contratarla y la recomiendo totalmente.

Amazing experience! She was incredibly kind, patient, and professional with my dog. From the moment she arrived, she made my pup feel comfortable and excited for his walk. She communicated clearly, sent updates, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and full of good energy — you can tell she genuinely loves animals and knows how to handle them with care and confidence. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommended! Experiencia increíble. Ella fue sumamente amable, paciente y profesional con mi perro. Desde el momento en que llegó, logró que mi perrito se sintiera cómodo, tranquilo y emocionado por su paseo. Se mantuvo en comunicación, envió actualizaciones y realmente hizo más de lo esperado para asegurarse de que todo saliera perfecto. Mi perro regresó feliz, relajado y con muy buena energía — se nota que ella ama a los animales y sabe exactamente cómo tratarlos con cariño, cuidado y seguridad. Yo me sentí totalmente tranquila sabiendo que mi perro estaba en tan buenas manos. Definitivamente volveré a reservar con ella. ¡100% recomendada!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Virginia Gardens. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
