“Gabriela took wonderful care of our two Bernese Mountain Dogs, Jasper and Penelope, during a 3 night stay at our house while I was away. She sent updates and plenty of photos throughout, and it was clear the dogs were happy and well looked after the entire time. On top of that, she left the house spotless, which we highly appreciated. Thank you, Gabriela, for your time and care.”
“I would highly recommend Jane! My two dogs were very happy when I got home, so it’s clear that she took great care of them and they had a great time with her. She took them on lots of walks, spent time outside with them and sent a lot of pictures which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was traveling for work for a few days. Can’t wait to book with Jane again.”

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

“Theresa was amazing with Aspen and Addy. It is so hard sometimes trying find someone you trust with your fur babies but so feel Theresa went above and beyond in the love she showed my dogs. She was excellent with communication, pictures and updates, and that meant so much to me. Don’t hesitate to book her, and I will definitely be using her again .”
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.
“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: Hi! I’m a marine biologist with over three years of professional animal care and animal husbandry experience, and caring for animals is both my career and my passion. For more than a year, I worked as an Animal Care Technician alongside veterinary technicians, where I performed daily animal welfare assessments, monitored clinical health and behavior, and helped ensure animals maintained excellent overall health and well-being. That experience taught me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or condition and reinforced the importance of compassionate, attentive care. I grew up with both dogs and cats and currently have three cats of my own, so I understand that pets are family. Whether I’m caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, shy cats, or high-energy dogs, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe every pet deserves individualized care. Before each visit, I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide a stress-free experience that’s tailored specifically to them. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddle time, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’ll provide regular photo and video updates, treat your home with respect, and care for your pets as if they were my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry family member is in experienced, caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work full-time Monday through Friday (typically 8:00 AM–4:00 PM), but I have a flexible schedule and can often adjust my work hours to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. This makes me a great fit for drop-in visits, dog walks, and cat care throughout the week. I’m also available for overnight house sitting in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. On weekends, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to dedicate more time to longer walks, multiple drop-in visits, overnight stays, and personalized pet care. I always strive to provide dependable, consistent care that works around both your schedule and your pet’s unique needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my professional animal care background, I’m trained to be observant, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and behavior. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to minimize stress. I’ll carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and enrichment instructions, ensure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure, and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. Communication is one of my priorities, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout my visits. For dog walks, I also love sharing my Strava walk summary so you can see where we explored, along with the distance and time we spent together. At the end of each stay, I provide a personalized Pet Report Card summarizing your pet’s adventures, routines, behavior, and any memorable moments, so you can feel connected even while you’re away. If I ever notice anything unusual with your pet’s behavior, appetite, or overall well-being, I’ll contact you promptly so we can determine the best course of action together. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, healthy pet and complete peace of mind, knowing they were cared for with the same attention, professionalism, and compassion I give my own animals.
“Javier came to take care of our pup Leo. It was a great experience from start to finish. He was super communicative and responsive beforehand and took great care of Leo. He seemed to really enjoy his time with him. I would recommend him to my friends and family anytime. Thanks Javier!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets while they're away. As a registered nurse, I'm calm in emergencies, detail oriented with routines and medications, and genuinely love giving animals the attention they deserve. Whether it's a quick walk or feed, I treat every dog as my own. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available per my calendar’s availability. I also have flexibility for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week, and I'm happy to accommodate specific routines your dog is used to, whether that's meal timing, medication schedules, or daily walk length. When I'm in your home, I keep things calm and consistent so your pet feels comfortable with the routine, whether that's meal timing, walks, or playtime. As a registered nurse, I'm attentive to health and safety details, especially for pets with medications or special needs. I treat your home and your dog with care and respect, and your pet will always get my full attention while I'm there, never rushed or overlooked.
“Connie was so attentive to my picky cat. It was clear she was very happy to have Connie stay with her for over a week and I came back to a house that was definitely cleaner than how I left it!”
“I HIGHLY recommend working with Lux (Emily B.). We needed a last minute cat sitter to come do a house stay. We were hesitant about leaving because our elderly cat had recently gotten injured, but Lux kept a careful eye on them the whole time and sent regular updates and sweet photos. They are kind, communicative, responsible, and genuinely love animals. They even stayed a bit longer than required to make sure our cat had company till we got home. So thoughtful, we will definitely be working with them again!”
“Mia did such an amazing job with Milo and Theo. She was prompt with responding to my messages and communicating if she was running late. My Theo got an upset tummy and she was proactive to communicate with me and give him some medicine I had in the house. I came back and my home was how I left it any boys were happy to see me. I would definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been doing doggie sitting for approximately a decade and officially on Rover since 2021. Our teens love dogs but at this stage in our life I (mom) is not willing to get us a pet- we have lots of love to give but we want to maintain our flexibility for travel. This is what makes Rover and excellent fit for us! I am a nurse who works until approximately 3p and I alternate hospital/home work environment. Our high school aged kiddos love nothing more than coming home to play and show your doggie lots of love! We exercise every afternoon- we are a triathlete family and love staying active, thus walking and playing outdoors with your pup would be an utter joy for us. We have a single family home with fenced in spacious back yard for your pup to explore. Front yard as well and healthy and active gated community with a park/playground near by which we frequently walk to and play in. We can and will implement any needs for your pet to make him feel right at home. We have old-ish laminate flooring and we certainly dont mind the occasional accidents that come with pets exploring and adjusting to new environments. We can adjust to almost any per routine due to our flexible work schedules. We want this time apart to be as seamless as possible for your pup and his/her family. I do not currently have any pets in our home and thus our attention and care will be fully on your pup. Siblings are always welcomed together of course!
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.
About: Hi there! I am a student at the University of Miami studying health sciences and health administration. I have been a technician at an animal hospital for five years. I have also been volunteering with animals for over eight years. I can administer medication’s, and make sure that the pet is safe and comfortable whenever they are with me. Working in the hospital, has provided me with experience with both young and senior pets as well as pets with all temperaments. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies soon! Pet care is extremely important to me. As a pet owner and animal lover myself I make sure that they are taken care of first that is how I start my days. I like to check on them throughout the day, making sure then have everything they need to be comfortable and have time to go outside. I adjust my schedule to your needs so whenever you need me to do a drop in or a walk, please let me know and any accommodations during pet sitting and I will use my knowledge to best assist. Also, I do have a car so I don’t mind driving them where needed if requested. Since I have been employed at the animal hospital, I have been entrusted with responsibilities of making sure that my patients are always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have the knowledge to acknowledge signs of any uncomfort for many different breeds of animals. I think my biggest job is making sure that I can read the pet to the best of my abilities so I can best fit their needs, ensuring that they are always comfortable and happy. I am in constant communication with the owners at all time making sure that if I notice anything they know right away, I always wanna make sure there’s full transparency between me and my clients. My number one priority is making sure that you know what is going on with your pet and making sure they are as happy, healthy and comfortable as they can be

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coral Gables
Sam was really great with my 9-year-old kitty! She sent updates and photos daily, was responsive, and overall a great communicator. At one point she told me a storm was expected and that she would be with my boy when it was thundering when he gets nervous. She also made smart decisions about not letting him out into his catio when it was too hot. Sam even gave the stray kitties in the yard some love, which was really sweet. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. Highly recommend!
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.
Devin was amazing with our golden retriever, Honey! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while we were away. Honey was happy, loved, and clearly in excellent hands. We would absolutely trust Devin to watch her again and highly recommend her!
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.
Sophia watched our dog and cat for us while we were out of town for our wedding and she went above and beyond. She ensured to send us updates multiple times a day and honestly allowed us to really enjoy our weekend. Will 100% be using her services again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Coral Gables on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,674 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Coral Gables. 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 Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables. 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.
