“Alexis was fantastic with our fur baby! She provided regular updates and photos which put us at ease while we were gone. When we returned home, everything was just like we left it. We've already booked her for our next trip. Thanks Alexis!!!”
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: Hi I'm Helen! As someone who has been riding and caring for horses since I was 8, I can say with confidence that your beloved pet will appreciate the time and effort I put into making his or her experience comfortable, memorable, and full of belly rubs! I am currently a student at the University of Florida, but will be in Miami for a few weeks before I head to New York to compete with my horse, Bella. At home, I have a beautiful mutt named Menemsha and a cat named Rosie, who I rescued from underneath a bush in my back yard when I was 6. There is truly nothing I love more than getting to know and care for different pets, and I can't wait to meet yours! I’m currently working part time as a wellness coach. Between client meetings & check ins, I have several free hours during the day. I am happy to work with you & manage my schedule to better suit your needs! I don’t currently offer care services at my home, as my cat is pretty skittish! When I’m at your home, I will diligently tend to your pet’s needs, and follow any care instructions you may provide.
“Emily did a great job with my cat, Princi! It was my first time having someone cat sit and she made sure I knew Princi was in good hands. She checked in everyday and sent pictures of my baby. I highly recommend Emily to watch your little one, she will give you the peace of mind that they are in good hands!”
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.
“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.”
“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! 🐾💕”
“We feel so lucky to have found Natalia! From our first meet and greet, it was clear that our dog and Natalia had an instant connection. Natalia is genuinely kind and caring, and she took amazing care of both our pup and our home while we were away. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. Coming home to a happy dog and a tidy house was the best feeling. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. Back home, I have a Boxer and a Rottweiler of my own, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m currently a senior at the University of Miami and live on my own, and I really enjoy spending my free time pet sitting, walking dogs, and giving pets the care and attention they deserve! I have a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care easy to fit into my daily routine. I am able to adjust my day around feeding times, check-ins, playtime, or walks. I love animals, so taking care of them never feels like a chore - it is something I truly enjoy. I live in a comfortable, pet friendly apartment with plenty of great areas nearby for walks, fresh air, and outdoor time. My home is clean, safe, and welcoming with plenty of space for pets to relax and feel comfortable. There are no other pets or children in my home so your fur baby gets my full attention.
“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.”
“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! My name is Coco, I have 3 dogs at home (2 rambunctious shiba inu puppies named Neko and Milo and a chill newfoundland named Shanti), and had a black cat named Woecat growing up. I have experience caring for pets such as dogs and cats of various ages, as well as fish and guinea pigs. I have a car and can drive, so I can drive over whenever you need me. I can house-sit in addition to pet-sitting if preferred, as well as walking pets. My schedule is fairly flexible, I work part time and have lots of availability. Let me know if I can be of any help! My schedule is flexible, I am a freelance musician and work other jobs part time, so generally during the week and some weekends are when I am available. For my dogs first thing I do is I walk them to get them super tired, then I let them drink water, eat, and play. They typically take a nap after this, and if they are still full of energy then I take them for another walk!
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and deep love for animals. I cared for my French Poodle for 19 years, giving me hands-on experience with senior pet care, from administering medication to adjusting routines to keep them comfortable. Now, with an energetic Border Collie and an independent cat, I’ve learned how to meet a wide range of needs, from highenergy play and mental stimulation to quiet companionship. My family even trusts me with their pets, knowing how attentive and reliable I am. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, or anything in between, I treat every pet with patience, care, and genuine love…just like they’re my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time for feeding, grooming, playtime, and walks, especially with my active Border Collie. I also spend quality time with my cat, making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening cuddle time, caring for my pets is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize—it keeps me grounded and brings a lot of joy to my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. At home, I keep a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, play, and quiet time. I make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for, just like part of the family. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their routines and follow any instructions carefully—whether it’s administering medication, going on specific walking routes, or keeping up with feeding schedules. I always prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being, and I stay in touch with updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Ahnisha (Lola) came to my Brickell home the same day I reached out and I explained all of my anxieties about dog sitting in my home while I was away for a business trip. I have two needy senior dogs and one cat. Throughout the week I was away, she was very pleasant, thoughtful, caring, mature and most importantly, trustworthy. She followed instructions, gave meds & kept me updated with everything! I appreciate how respectful she was to my home (going above & beyond, cleaning) and my pets. It takes a lot to put your trust into a person caring for your animals when you love them so much, I’m so thankful to have Lola now and we will be using her again. One more thing, she literally cuddled them during the thunderstorm!🥹”
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: 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 used to do alot of babysitting for my next door neighbor with her dachshund and also around the neighborhood cats and dogs. I did it a lot in high school and through out the years. I'm currently working full-time at a therapist's office front desk and on weekends at a candle-making shop. I can always work around my schedule it's pretty much flexible. I used to have a dog a wheaten terrier she passed away in March which was the hardest month for me. So I need that interaction.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Coral Gables is $50

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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Coral Gables on Rover is $48.84 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 3,732 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.
