“Mariya was fantastic watching my two cats for the week I was away. My situation isn’t the easiest — my cats have to be kept separated, with one being pretty shy around new people — but Mariya handled it with patience and care. She kept me updated with regular check-ins, and it was clear she genuinely paid attention to each cat’s individual needs rather than just doing a quick in and out visit. I came home to two happy, well fed, comfortable cats and zero stress. Highly recommend Mariya to anyone with cats, especially if you’ve got a trickier multi-cat household like mine she’s clearly experienced and trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“We are new to the area and were feeling anxious about finding a pet sitter that would be kind and loving to our babies. We could not be happier that we found Jaclyn on Rover and gave her the chance. From our first time doing a meet & greet, she was genuine, honest, and explained everything she would take care of while we were out of town. Our 3 kitties loved her from the moment they met her. She did a wonderful job of sending us daily reports and photos of our babies. She checked in daily through the Rover app, always on time. One thing that stood out was how detail-oriented Jaclyn is and how she paid attention to a subtle difference in one of our cats. She reported that our 17 year old kitty was breathing differently and sent us a video. Sure enough, our girl had an upper respiratory infection and had to go to the hospital for care. We are so grateful we found Jaclyn. She is trustworthy and responsible. More importantly, she loved our babies and our babies loved her!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Bella while I was away! She came by for drop-in visits exactly as scheduled and made sure Bella was well taken care of every time. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. It was clear that Bella was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention during each visit. I truly appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

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.

I’m extremely flexible and good with communication so anything you need or have questions about please feel free to ask! Se habla español! 🐾 I’m a medical caretaker, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan pet care around my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, in-home pet sitting & I’m available late nights as well. Caregiving has also taught me to be patient, attentive & responsible, following detailed routines and instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. Since I provide care in your home, I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and supervision. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: New Clients: All dogs regardless of sex must submit valid rabies certificate/documentation before they will be approved (Miami Dade county law requires all dogs over 4 months to have rabies vaccine), any dog regardless of sex that is not fully UTD (including bordetella) will be automatically declined. All male dogs must also submit documentation proving they are neutered for approval. Unneutered Male dogs will be automatically declined. No Exceptions!!!!! I've had dogs most of my life since I was 8 years old (currently on dogs #3 and #4). I'm a natural with dogs (some say I'm a dog whisperer) and love them so much (I love giving belly rubs). I own two Siberian Husky that are well cared for so they are my references. Services offered: My house: Boarding, Walking, Grooming (Bath, Blow, Dry, and Nail Clipping only, No Haircuts/Shaving or Teeth Cleaning). Takes me about an hour to groom and dry each of my dogs using professional grooming equipment (Grooming is extra). Note: Boarding, Day Care, Walking, Dog Park and Grooming are all seperate services, so each has their own separate charge. If you want Walking, Dog Park, or Grooming Services it must be paid for on top of the Boarding/Day Care rate or service will not be performed. Drop Off / Pickup rate is for the first 10 miles from my house. Each additional mile is an additional $2.00 per mile (rounded up). there's 4 trips involved to pickup and dropoff as it is 2 round trips. For example if your address is 10 miles from me that means I have to drive 40 miles in total to pickup and dropoff your pooch so your total pickup/drop off rate would be $85 ($25 for the first 10 miles + $60 for the remaining 30 miles). Total Distance is determined by the fastest route during rush hour traffic on the day of booking request. Owner is responsible for all tolls for pickup/dropoff aswell which will be added at the time of booking. Your house: Drop In Visits, Walking My property is 6,240 sq.ft so plenty of space for your dog(s) to run around and play. The backyard is Siberian Husky escape proof with concrete all the way around the backyard fence so your dog(s) can't dig or find a way out (unless your dog can jump a 6ft high fence). if your dog is an outdoor dog you can leave him/her in my backyard without any worries of escaping as there are two locked gates in the backyard and I'm the only person who has the key. I specialize in Siberian Husky, if you own Siberian Husky this is the place for your husky with someone who is capable of handling such a special breed. I work full time but my job is very flexible, allows me to work whenever I want and lots of traveling around the city which allows for a quick 15 minute potty break/feeding and go back to work mid-day if I'm near home. Safety is my #1 priority (this is why I require all dogs to submit their valid rabies, UTD, and neutered documentation. When your dog first arrives on the property the first thing I do is introduce your dog to all the dogs on the property to see how your dog responds to each dog. If your dog(s) has problems getting along with other dogs it is my job to find a suitable group for your dog to spend their stay with. In the event your dog cannot find a suitable group then your dog will not interact with the other dogs or groups and will be placed in their own group for the remainder of their stay. During mealtime your dog will be temporarily isolated from the other dogs (in a crate or in a room by themself) until they finish (this is to prevent fights with other dogs over resource guarding and to insure your dog only eats the food they are use to). Once your dog has finished only then will your dog be allowed to return to the group. When I am away from home all dogs are isolated from each other (unless they came from the same household) until I return.

About: With 5 years of pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and reptiles with a variety of needs and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for up to three dogs at once and have plenty of hands-on experience with cats and reptiles as well. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, check-ins, and daily routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure every pet gets the care and attention they’re used to while their owners are away. I’m currently a master’s student at the University of Miami, which gives me flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter care, and any other specific needs. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home and will make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

About: I’ve been a dog owner all my life and I’ve also taken care of many other pets in my home and theirs while their families were traveling or working. I can also help with daily exercise and walks, baths, and some basic training. I have a flexible schedule and I love spending time with animals. I am very active and would love to help you take care of your pets. I own two dogs, one Australian shepherd and one Newfie mix. I live in a townhome with a small fenced patio for their entertainment but I will also walk your dogs two to three times a day or as requested while they are boarding with me. If your dogs are not dog friendly, I can separate mine so they don’t have to interact with each other. In your home, I’m open to following the routine you do with your babies.

Mariya is hands down the best sitter I've used on Rover. She's watched my cats twice now, and both times I came home to happy, healthy cats and total peace of mind. She sent regular photo updates through the app, so I always knew exactly how they were doing while I was away. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the animals in her care. She goes above and beyond every time. My cats can be a handful, and she handled them with patience and skill. I'd trust her with them anytime and will absolutely be booking her again. Highly recommend!

As of October 2026, there are 6,107 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Miami. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

  • 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
