“Sam sent a note that she would be early to our place which demonstrated a facet of her exceptional communication skills. She is an excellent listener as my wife and I provided an overview and asked the right questions to get the right answers. Sam bonded extremely sell with Athena, playing on the terrace, taking her out for breaks and relaxing on the couch! Sam will be supporting overnights for us during an upcoming trip. Highly recommend Sam to help take excellent care of your dog!”
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our two cats. One of our cats has asthma and she administered his inhaler twice a day.

We would happily use her again as a petsitter. We highly recommend her.”

About: Hi there! As to experience with dogs, I have brought all three of our family dogs home- my chihuahua Blueberry, my Maltipoo Teddy who I taught how to do obstacle courses such as jump through hoops, run through poles, go through tunnels, ect. And lastly, I got my very own miniature Aussiedoodle puppy this past year named Kova who’s about 11 months old now. I have 4 years of experience dog sitting my family, friends, and people on Nextdoor throughout all 4 years of high school from tiny to large dogs. I can also help teach them tricks! I live in an apartment close to University of Miami campus where I live with a few other girls and we have my puppy & my roomates Pomeranian living with us. I’m looking to pet sit, do walks, and check in’s since I love animals and have a bit more free time this year! I also have a car so I am able to drive to pickup and drop off! I promise I will treat your furry friends like my own with the utmost care & love! I’m currently a Junior at the University of Miami. My only priorities are my classes but besides my class time, I am completely available to take care of your pups! Due to my class schedule: • I am available Monday anytime besides 3:30-5pm. • I am available Tuesday anytime besides 2pm-6:30pm. • I am available Wednesday anytime besides 2pm-8pm. • I am available Thursday anytime besides 2pm-3:30pm and 5pm-9pm. • I am completely available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but contact me 3 days in advance for weekends to make sure I am completely available. I live in a townhouse style apartment with 4 other super sweet girls and we have 2 pups living with us to keep your dog company! I have my own puppy Kova who is a miniature Aussiedoodle girl and we have a miniature Pomeranian boy named Gio. We don’t have much of a backyard but I walk my own puppy about 4x a day through the grassy front yard and to the dog park in our complex. There are also multiple parks around the area that I love to take her to that I can walk your dog at as well! My pup no longer needs her crate but I have a crate that I can set up ahead of time if needed!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for dogs as small as 5 pounds and have even walked dogs nearing 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes! I also have some experience with cats. I genuinely love being around animals and would be happy to give your pets the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I work part-time and attend school online, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to work around different schedules and can usually be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and pet care needs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or preferences you have for your pet, and I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Heather was amazing with Nova! We needed someone to watch her while we were away for a day trip, and Heather stayed at our home from the morning through the afternoon. She kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Heather also brought her dog Juco who Nova had met during the meet and greet. Nova had an absolute blast having a friend to play with all day! It was clear that Heather truly cared about making sure Nova was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend Heather (and Juco!) and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Nova! 🐾💕”

About: 🐾 10+ Years of Experience, Love & Dedicated Pet Care 🐾 For over 10 years, I have dedicated myself to caring for animals with love, patience, responsibility, and genuine passion. I understand that every pet is unique and that trusting someone with a beloved member of your family is an important decision. My goal is to give every pet in my care the same attention, affection, protection, and respect I would want for my own. I offer a variety of personalized pet care services, including boarding, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, walks, pick-up & drop-off, bathing, brushing, grooming, and individualized daily care. Whether your pet is staying with me for a few hours, several days, or simply needs some extra attention and pampering, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home. I always take the time to learn about each pet's personality, temperament, feeding schedule, walking routine, sleeping habits, favorite activities, medications, special needs, fears, and preferences. Maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible can make a huge difference in helping them feel relaxed and secure while away from their family. Safety and cleanliness are extremely important to me. I provide a clean, comfortable, supervised, and caring environment, with plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and rest according to each pet's individual needs. My experience has taught me that excellent pet care is not simply about feeding or walking an animal—it is about understanding their behavior, noticing the little things, respecting their boundaries, earning their trust, and making sure they feel genuinely cared for every single day. Communication with pet parents is also very important to me. I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing that your companion is receiving attentive and responsible care while you are away. Above all, this is more than a service to me. Caring for animals is something I truly love. Every pet that comes into my care is treated with patience, kindness, dedication, and lots of affection. 🐶🐱 Your pet's comfort, happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my priority. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member and giving them a loving home away from home! ❤️🐾 Pet care is not something I simply fit into my schedule—it is a meaningful part of my daily life. ❤️🐾 I organize my routine around the pets in my care, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, walks, meals, rest, and companionship throughout the day. I have the flexibility to adapt my schedule to each pet's individual routine because I believe they feel happiest and safest when their familiar habits are respected. Whether your pet loves morning walks, afternoon playtime, quiet cuddle time, or needs extra attention and patience, I make room for what makes them feel most comfortable. When a pet stays with me, they become part of my everyday routine—not just another booking. My goal is simple: while you are away, I want your pet to feel like they have a second home filled with love, attention, comfort, and care. 🐶🐱❤️ 🐾 A Safe, Loving Home Away From Home ❤️ When your pet is in my care, my priority is simple: I want them to feel safe, understood, loved, and as comfortable as they would be with you. Every pet has their own personality, routine, favorite things, fears, and little habits—and I take the time to learn them. 🏡 In my home, pets enjoy a clean, comfortable, supervised, and loving environment where they can truly feel like part of the family. Their days can include walks, outdoor time, playtime, toys, cuddles, relaxing breaks, and plenty of personal attention, always depending on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medications, sleeping preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Safety is always a priority, so activities and interactions are supervised and adapted to each pet. 🐶 In your home, I understand that I am entering your pet's safe and familiar space. I respect your home, your rules, and—most importantly—your pet's established routine. Depending on the service, I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, medication according to your instructions, and lots of affection. My goal is to keep their day feeling as familiar and normal as possible while you are away. I never believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to pet care. Some pets want to play all day, some want long walks, some love cuddles, and others simply need a patient person nearby until they feel comfortable enough to trust. I adapt my care to them—not the other way around. And because I know how difficult it can be to leave someone you love behind, I want you to have peace of mind too. ❤️ My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your furry family member is receiving genuine attention, patience, protection, and affection. You may be booking a pet care service, but I know you are trusting me with a member of your family—and I will always treat that trust with the care it deserves. 🐾❤️
“David was a very accommodating sitter, and I felt comfortable knowing Boo and Roosevelt were in his care. He was flexible when we were delayed in getting back home, which was so sweet of him and his mother.”
“Carolyn and our dog Sydney got along immediately. Carolyn is a trustworthy person and great with dogs. Her communication and willingness to take the best care of our dog, to our standard, was great.”
About: I have volunteered for 2 years at an Animal shelter in Jacksonville, Florida. Here i was responsible for walking, feeding, training, and bathing dogs of all kind. I would feed and entertain cats, as well as clean litter boxes and cages. I am currently a junior at university of miami with a very flexible schedule. Let me know whenever you need me and i’m sure I can make it work! I will provide as much comfort as possible to your pet. As an animal lover and dog owner, I completely understand how scary it may be to trust others with your pet. I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pet(s) safe. I stay focused and avoid any other dogs during walks. Your pup will have my undivided attention at all times.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Coconut Grove is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coconut Grove
Sam has been helping watch our pup, Oakley, over the past few months and I cannot recommend her enough. She is reliable, kind, has great communication and takes amazing care of Oakley. She always leaves our apartment spotless. It is such a relief to have someone we can trust fully!
I had a wonderful experience with my pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Julius, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was caring, responsible, communicative, and treated Julius like her own. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that he was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. I will absolutely book her again!” 🐾❤️
Joel did a great job looking over Stitch and Meeko for my weekend trip. Joel house sat for me, staying over and keeping my boys company. Joel came over a couple of times before my trip, making sure he knew where everything was. During the trip he gave me updates, sent me photo's and I felt very happy he was looking after them. Definitely recommend Joel for anyone looking for someone to trust their furbabies with.
Heather was amazing and a huge help with my dog. Very reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with. She really helped me out when I needed someone to look after my dog, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again.
The best sitter ever! Tommy took our dog on plenty of walks and even for a bone at the pet store and pup cup. Tommy sent photos everyday, was very communicative, and I could tell our dog was happy. It makes it so much easier to go out of town when you know you can trust your sitter to take such good care of your pet. Tommy is the best!
Morgan was nothing short of AMAZING! She stayed over for a week while we were away and not only did she take wonderful care of our fluff, but the space was super clean after she left! Our Aussie is wonderful but she isn't good with other dogs - Morgan had no problem keeping her separated from my mom's dogs while making sure to keep to her regular schedule! Long walks, plenty of play time in the backyard, and cuddles in bed were a regular part of their week together! I wouldn't hesitate to have Morgan take care of our little girl again :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Coconut Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Coconut Grove on Rover is $62.16 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,728 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Coconut Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Coconut Grove walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Coconut Grove maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Coconut Grove 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Coconut Grove. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
