“April and Quintin were fantastic, took amazing care of my dog in a hectic emergency situation and were so kind and gracious while I'm going through a medical emergency. I would give them 10 stars if I could”

“Mia was a phenomenal sitter for my two pups! We recently moved from Dallas to Miami, and I was nervous to leave them, but Mia was quick to step in and love on them. She sent photos and/or videos every day while I was away, which put my heart at ease. By the time I returned home, they were great friends! I will absolutely be partnering with Mia again!”
“I needed a sitter last minute to stay at my home with my nervous dog and Jane was incredible! She sent lots of updates and was extremely communicative. I would trust Jane with Nari any time I am away.”
About: From close friends to family, I have been entrusted to take care of their cherished dogs and cats (even seniors) through these past several years. I wouldn’t trade it for the world! I currently work full-time, but am available on weekends to provide unwavering support and love to your furry pets! I can also provide late night walks, check-ins, etc if needed during the week once I’m off work :-) I live in one of the safest neighborhoods with ample space in the backyard and around my area to give them the most fun walks possible! I can also crate your pet as I have ample space in my apartment. It’s just me, so rest assured they will be given the best care and belly rubs possible.
About: I have always been a dog owner and I have experience being a dog foster where I have helped many dogs with their previous trauma, such as anxiety and PTSD that was caused by being on the streets and even being mistreated by their previous owners. I offered them love, care and extra attention. I also have experience house training dogs and even getting them to do the simple “sit”, “stay” commands. Overall, I love animals and I am committed to give them the best care possible. I work remotely so I am available for boarding on weekdays and weekends from AM to PM. Please feel free to reach out to me. I currently live in an apartment with no pets of my own and no yard but I have a very flexible schedule where I can take the dog for hourly walks.
About: My kids, pugs, and I are thrilled to meet and pamper your pets! I'm a writer/editor by trade and completely flexible to meet your needs! I’m a writer and editor by trade, around most days and out for work maybe 1-3 hours occasionally at most. It’s a full time care situation. We’re in an apartment building with a nice side area for walks and a large balcony with pet beds for lounging. It’s very laid back
About: I have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Growing up, I cared for two family dogs, including senior dogs who required extra patience and attention. I also helped train my sibling’s puppy, teaching basic commands like sit and lay down, as well as successful potty training. In addition, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs, including a pit bull, making sure she was well-exercised with daily walks, playtime, and plenty of healthy treats. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own—providing love, structure, and lots of fun. I am in school full time. I am available every day Please let me know what days are needed in advance for house sitting or visits. I watch over the pet the whole time and ensure their safety. It’s important to me that while I’m with them, they have exercise and eat their food
“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.”
“Christina was so kind and helpful with my boys. My little Milo had a flare up with his allergies and she was up to the job to administer multiple medications. She was responsive and cared about my boys as if they were her own. My shy Theo really warmed up to her which is rare. I had such a great time on my trip knowing my little guys were taken care of.”
“Samantha is an amazing person. She’s prompt, super clean, courteous, professional but friendly, warm and compassionate. She’s a pleasure to work with, very intelligent and respectful!”
“Bella is a very caring and responsible dog sitter. We have a 15 year old dog that requires lots of attention and Bella did an amazing job with her. Our dog was really happy and well-cared for. She was very communicative and had great attention to detail. She treated our home with respect and left it like she found it. It’s a great peace of mind for us to know that our baby was in good hands. We will definitely be calling Bella again.”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets in my life! From the multiple dogs we had in my childhood, to the cats we adopted later on, to the pet walking and pet boarding services I’ve offered to friends and family, I love to be around our furry friends. My childhood dog passed away a couple years ago, and at the end of her life she was dealing with diabetes and blindness— I understand and know the special care, attention, and love that is required for our older babies ❤️ Currently, I live at home alone, with a fenced backyard and ample safe space for pets to hang out in, with no other dogs or cats. I work from home and am able to give my full undivided attention to your pets! I’m currently working part time and remotely so I have more than enough time to focus on your pets needs. My working hours are in the morning where I connect online, but am able to go for walks before then as well. I am a huge outdoors person and love going for walks!! My home is a very pet-friendly safe space, with a big fenced backyard that gives pets space to hang out comfortably. The house has spacious living rooms where the pets can be in as well with much space. The house is in a residential calm area, also nearby to The Underline— great for walks! I’m able to walk, feed, and water pets as often as needed.
“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: My hands-on experience as a former dog rescuer and PetSmart employee sets me apart. Being a dog rescuer has given me the skills to confidently care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During my time as a rescuer, I learned not only how to feed them and play with them, but also administer medicine and bathe them when necessary. As a pet care associate and cashier at PetSmart, I worked with multiple types of dogs and their pet parents to ensure they would get the best products and services. Because of my dedication to the well-being of dogs at PetSmart, I was offered an opportunity to be trained for a dog trainer position, but I had to reject it since I was moving out of state for college. Now, I’m back in Miami and ready to make your dog feel at home, even if you’re away. I’m a college student currently in Miami for summer and on a really flexible schedule, so I’m willing to dedicate lots of time to your dog. I will adapt to your dog’s necessities, whether they need going on long walks and playing at the park, or cuddles and quiet time. I believe that dogs are important members of the family and deserve to be treated as such.
About: I’m super flexible when it comes to my schedule and will make time for any family and pet, I enjoy spending time with all animals and families. I work full time however after 6pm I am available especially to house/pet sit, I’m studying for my mcat so all pets will keep me company! Breaks are important while studying , and all my attention will be one them by playing, walking them or anything special they require My youngest rescue puppy Bruno has been crate trained and his crate is his safe space. We have special fences in the house that safely lock every time and all our pets have AirTags on them to make sure they’re home safe plus we make sure all doors are properly secured anytime we leave the house.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coconut Grove
This was my first time using a sitter from Rover, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sophie was incredibly kind, responsible, communicative, and attentive from start to finish. She sent me regular photos and videos of my pets, responded to my messages so promptly, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog is very sweet but somewhat slow to trust new people, and she was so patient with her. It was obvious she made my girls feel safe and cared for, which I really appreciated. When I got home, everything was exactly as I’d left it, which speaks to how respectful and responsible she is. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pets and home were in such good hands. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter, and I will absolutely book with Sophie again.
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!
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!
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 :)
Sarah took wonderful care of our cat Leopold while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Leo was clearly very happy and well cared for when we returned. The house was spotless, and Sarah was great about communicating with us — especially when there was an issue with the garage door. She kept us informed and handled everything perfectly. We really appreciated her reliability and care, and would absolutely book with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Coconut Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Coconut Grove on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,737 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:
- 90% 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.
