“Andria is the most responsible, caring, and considerate cat sitter I have ever used!! She is so good with my cats and has even won over my difficult kitty who is usually afraid of cat sitters. Not only does she make sure my cats are taken care of, she also looks after my apartment and cleans up all the messes my cats make while I’m gone- which is above and beyond and makes coming home much nicer! Thank you Andria for taking such good care of my kitties :-)”
“Mara is amazing. She genuinely cares and goes the extra mile to make Bon Bon feel loved. Not sure it gets better than that. I do wonder if Bon Bon misses me anymore 😂”
“Arianna is amazing and the only person I trust (literally). Thank you for taking care of my dog last minute. She always goes above and beyond, and takes such great care.”
“Kim was great! Followed instructions perfectly, kept us updated, and my pets got along great with her. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to book with her again.”
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!

About: I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. As a long time dog owner, I understand the value of consistency, patience, and making pets feel comfortable in their routine. I'm dependable, attentive to instructions, and committed to treating every pet with genuine care. Pet care fits well into my routine because I'm organized, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'm available for evening visits and walks on weekdays, and I have greater flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I'm committed to making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I'm attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, and any specific instructions you provide. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication so you can feel confident you pet is in caring and dependable hands.

About: Hi! My name is Iman, and I'm a college freshman with over 4 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has different needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort while you're away. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away from their furry family members. I have experience with energetic puppies and kittens, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience and care.

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.
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 taken care of animals of various kinds (dogs, cats, and rabbits) since a young age. I am a go to dog and cat sitter for family and friends. I currently work from home so I am able to accompany your pets throughout the day. I am familiar with many pet friendly walking trails in my area. I am a dog mom to a 10 year old Jack Russell and am familiar with senior dog care and high energy pups. Daily walks are a must!
“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!”

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!
I had a wonderful experience with José. He followed every instruction perfectly and was extremely professional throughout the entire stay. Communication was excellent, he always kept me updated and made me feel at ease while I was away. I would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommended!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
