“Anthony did amazing with drop-in visits for my bunny. Despite being new to caring for a bunny, he didn’t bat an eye to accept a request and help care for her over the holidays. He was super attentive to the unique care she needed. He is trustworthy, communicative, and punctual. He will be my go-to from now on for any pet needs in the future!”

“We can’t say enough about the level of care that Stephanie provides for us. This is the second time we’ve booked her and everything was perfect. She is very punctual and although they were just check-in visits, she went beyond just feeding & watering. We will absolutely work with her in the future and we highly recommend her services!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I currently care for my rescued Miniature Pinscher, Jax, who is a huge part of my life. I specialize in small dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. - Care tailored to your pet’s routine and preferences - Walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. - Fresh water and feeding as instructed. - In building dog parks. - Photo updates - Prompt communication and dependable service. - Respect for your home and your pet’s comfort. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding access, feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. All walks are done on leash, and I provide photo updates after visits so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Rossana provided for our cat while we were away! Our cat is very particular about interactions, but Rossana was so gentle, patient, and understanding. She spent quality time with her every day, making us feel completely at ease while we were away. She also sent us daily updates, photos and details to keep us up to date. We will definitely be rebooking with Rossana the next time we are away! Highly recommend!”

About: I am an army vet who always loved animals .I was also a a flight attendant so taking care of people and animals on my flights is part of my job . My best passengers always had 4 legs :)Very caring and always pay attentions to details and signs regardless if it’s a human being or animal.I speak English and Italian in case your pet is bilingual (joke) My schedule is extremely flexible so would be great to build a resume and have a chance to take care of someone pet. Day or evening is not a problem I live in an apartment so ideally would be great if I can come to client home . I would have no problem staying or walking the dog . I am very active so whatever the owner would like from me I am flexible

I am forever grateful to find Kelly and will recommend her to anyone!! I was so nervous about finding the right sitter for my high maintenance doggy but Kelly knew exactly what to do. Always sending me photos and videos while she’s caring for him. Checking in and out with me when she comes and goes. Always on time or early. 10000/10!!!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner for years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pet. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, including senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, giving lots of love and attention, and adjusting to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pup is in loving, reliable hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with both dogs and cats. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule so they can feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure dogs are safely leashed and secure before walks, and I’m attentive to their surroundings while we’re outside. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and will always keep them updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I love dogs, to me they are the most important thing in life. They make me laugh and have a great time, I have my own crazy guy Mikie. I can train them to listen and behave as well. I work from home so I spend everyday with my pups so I know the fun of being with dogs. My spare time will be with the dogs and exercising with them! It'll be fun times. I will make sure they eat well and also stay fit and be healthy all the time! I had a dog back home and now here I have my own dog Mikie who is my best friend. It'll be an honor to take care of dogs while on my free time. I work FT from home so I can take care of dogs any day and time, of course I’ll be working during business hours, but I should be more free after 4pm everyday. Dogs for me are a gift of God. They deserve nothing but love and respect. Making sure I give the dog enough time to know me is highly valuable for them to start earning that trust.

About: I am an animal lover and every summer I spent has been with all different types of animals from all over the world from spider monkeys in the amazon to sea lions and marine iguanas in the Galapagos to bull sharks in Fiji. My true passion is dogs and caring for them because they are so lovable and fun to play with. I’m available all year long and available at anytime. I will care for your pet like he or she is my own. My schedule is currently studying for the LSAT to prepare for law school applications this coming fall.I am mostly in the library and at home as well as visiting my grandfather in Mystic Pointe every week. I pray in the morning, work out right after and then study, work and read throughout the day. I have a French bulldog at home who is only friendly out of the home so I will only be able to provide house sitting services and any and all dog walking services :). I hope this is helpful.

About: I've owned pets since 2013 and often dogsit my friends' dogs if they're away for an event, a weekend, or even a week at a time. I lived in Barbados for 2 years, where there are dozens of stray animals roaming the streets. I took in and rehabilitated an orange cat (featured in my photos) that has been brought to the US and is happily living in NYC with her new family. I do not have any pets in my apartment at the moment- my dog, Honey, is across the country with my mom. I have so much love to give pets and enjoy spoiling pets with the attention they deserve. The qualities I have as a graduating medical student directly translate into my care for pets- being punctual, patient, and passionate. I'm a full-time medical student with a fluctuating schedule. My weekends are free for boarding, walks, etc., but weekdays depend on my schedule for the given month. Weekday work schedule typically starts at 7am, and my availability will most often start at 5pm (or earlier some days). When I am home, I integrate my pet into everything I do. I love their company on the couch, bringing them on my daily walks, and even the puppy eyes when I’m cooking. I live with my partner in a pet-friendly condominium on the 5th floor. We have a partially-fenced yard with grass surrounding the condo and a balcony with our unit. Our front door has a double key-lock, with no possibility of a pet escaping. It is a large, 2-bedroom condo with plenty of space to roam in the open-concept living room and kitchen. There's plenty of unobstructed room for pet belongings (food, toys, bedding, etc.). I do not have any other animals living in the unit, I do not have a crate, and I love animals sleeping in the room/bed with me (if owner allows).

About: Hello.My name pronouncedNe-Ka. I am a lifelong-animal lover. I've had dogs my entire life, and they have always been an important part of my life. I recently lost my 16-year-old Chihuahua, and while my heart is still healing, I realized how much joy being around animals brings me. That's what inspired me to join Rover. I absolutely love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. In fact, my love for animals runs so deep that I've been a vegetarian for nearly 20 years. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your furry friends with the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own. I am very flexible to meet the needs of your pet and make them my top priority while in my care. I allow pets to have whatever you permit them to have-treats, cuddles in the couch we’re just playtime at the park. With plenty of pictures and videos for you. I also have experience with cat sitting. I’m just a woman who loves animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, companionship while you're away, or extra love and attention, I'd be honored to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I prefer not to have any in home boarding at my home but in willing to come to yours. If you don’t see a calendar date just reach out to me. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. I mostly work from home so I am flexible to meet the needs of both the pet parent and the pet. Drop in visit times are flexible in the Sunny Isles, Aventura and North Miami areas. I care for pets per the instructions set by the owner. I am very attentive and make your pet my priority, treating them like my own.

About: I’ve always been a helping hand when it comes to caring for pets, and family and friends have trusted me to watch their dogs whenever they needed someone reliable. I’m dependable, communicative, and adapt well to different pets and environments even snakes! Joining Rover felt like the perfect opportunity to provide that same level of care to pet owners outside of my own circle. I’m currently working part-time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available for pet sitting and boarding on weekends, as well as weekdays before 4 p.m. My schedule may adjust once school starts, but I’ll always make sure to communicate my availability clearly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines and any instructions they provide. I make sure pets are fed, have access to water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and are taken outside or given opportunities to use the restroom as needed. I’m very attentive to their needs and will communicate with the owner if anything seems unusual or if they need anything extra.

This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Irina took incredible care of my babies (2 cats) while I was out of town. She made sure they were fed on time, played with, and kept their litter box clean. She sent me pictures every day that gave me the peace of mind to know they were in good hands while I was away. I will absolutely love to work with Irina again!!

Aliia was absolutely amazing watching our cats, Winston and Hobie! She was so sweet and kind, kept us updated while we were away, and did an excellent job following all of the instructions we left for their care. It was really nice seeing how happy and comfortable Winston and Hobie were with her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were gone. Aliia is extremely trustworthy, reliable, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We would 100% use Aliia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home. Thank you so much, Aliia, for taking such great care of our boys!! ❤️

Marianna was absolutely wonderful with Thor. She was communicative, sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, and clearly went above and beyond — even navigating flooding from a storm to make sure she got to him on time. She noticed small details, like mixing his leftovers with fresh food and topping off his water fountain, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was away. Thor was clearly relaxed and well cared for by the end of the trip. I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.

Hannah is truly amazing and reliable. My cat iStitchy sn't the most affectionate cat to new people. But he has become very attached to Hannah every time she visited. She provided me with update on him while my family was away and took good care of him, making sure his litter is clean, water and food bowls have plenty of food and playing with him. She even fed my fish in two fish tanks. So grateful to her big help! Thank you Hannah. You are the best! Will recommend you to anyone who needs a reliable and loving pet sitter.

Jaylan is calm, kind and patient. One of my cats loved her and the other (who only loves me😂) seemed to take to her also. She did just as I had requested for the time I was away, which I appreciate- as the biggest part was just spend some time with them so they wouldn’t get lonely or stressed. I would definitely recommend her.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bal Harbour

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bal Harbour is $30 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,166 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bal Harbour. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 , 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.
