“Domenica did a great job watching our pups and gave them a lot of attention and love while we were gone. Also, we loved all the photos of the pups having fun while we were gone.”
“Ahliah was a life saver--we were able to book her last minute, she came over to meet us and our kitten, and then made us feel so comfortable and reassured that she was there watching our kitten, feeding her, and playing with her. Will definitely work with Ahliah again!”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy and Heather was so sweet and communicative. It was such a relief to know our anxious little guy was being loved on while we were away for a couple nights!”
“Connie was amazing! She was able to sit on relatively short notice, clear communication, adapted to my cats’ typical schedules, and took great care of them and my apartment for the 2 weeks while I was gone. Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
About: Hello my name is Pedro, I'm a spiritualist, dog's best friend, animal guardian, gardener. I learned about rover and how it's a great tool to continue growing my passion. Dogs are no doubt, the best example of unconditional love, which is something I believe many humans posses and are afraid to embrace. It's power that when tapped into can inspire the human population to become more and more fruitful, and dogs are one of the best examples on earth. Every dog I've met, remembers me the next time around. I've been around animals ever since I was a kid. Through the years I've encountered many experiences and observations to add to my skill. I know people are busy so I'm willing to help do your dog duties for you. I take care of my family dogs and believe all other dogs are family. Pet care is part of my lifestyle it is not something that takes me out of my natural rhythm. It comes naturally and flows smoothly. I keep a close eye on all our dogs including the natural interactions they have with other dogs and I make sure interactions are balanced and Noone gets hurt.
“Jess stayed at my home while I was out of town and took wonderful care of my dog. She was happy to come by beforehand to meet us, and her love for dogs was obvious immediately. I recently rescued my pup and was nervous about leaving him, but Jess gave me so much peace of mind. She communicated consistently, sending updates and photos throughout her stay. She truly went the extra mile and left my home spotless. I would absolutely recommend Jess as a dependable and loving pet sitter.”
“Attentive, trustworthy miracle-worker! I needed a sitter last minute and Kelsey responded right away. She brings her dog with her and was very upfront about that. She was also very thoughtful about ensuring the dogs met in a way that was the least stressful for them (and me!). She arrived early to spend time with Merlin and chat with me, which was much appreciated. I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of Merlin and being in my home. She was very kind and clearly very attentive to Merlin, even playing bird songs to relax and distract him. He has separation anxiety and normally howls, barks, and paces when I leave. He had no trouble with Kelsey though and seemed very relaxed when I got home. It was amazing! I would absolutely recommend her.”
About: I grew up with five dogs, and have had at least one since. I've dogsat for neighbors countless times, and have enjoyed every second with their furry friends. Not counting my high school/childhood years, I've been dogsitting for 5 years. I currently work part-time and as a theater artist. I have the most time on Monday - Wednesday (full availability) with more limited time on Thurs - Sun. Most Thurs/Fri I'm available until about 4 pm. Same for weekends, unless I end up working a matinee. I always have morning availability. When coming into a client's home, the first thing I'm doing is working on gaining your pet's trust. I understand it can be scary having a stranger walk into your safe space! I speak gently, get on their level (if safe to do so) and overall just work on showing them that I'm there to have a good time with them.
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats alike for my whole life. My primary experience is with fostering rescued animals (mainly pit bull and bully breeds who were victims of abuse or neglect). I have lived with three dogs and one cat throughout my life, and am very accustomed to caring for both! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to visit and care for your pets! My nights are flexible, so I will be available for house sitting and overnight pet sitting. I have cared for animals my entire life, so your pets safety is my number one priority! Depending upon the service, I will do whatever I can to ensure your pet’s comfort and care.
“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: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong dog lover, neuroscience researcher (spinal cord injury repair), and dog mom of 7 years. I prioritize long, enriching walks with my dog Saint (we average ~10K steps/day) and plenty of playtime. I’m attentive, gentle, and safety-focused, with years of caregiving experience from babysitting. I can’t wait to meet your pup and treat them like my own. I work from home and can offer flexible hours during both weekdays and weekends. Early mornings, lunchtime walks, and evening drop-ins are all possible—just message me with your preferred timing. I live in a clean, nonsmoking apartment and have one friendly small dog. Visiting pups must be potty trained and comfortable around other dogs. I use secure leashes/harnesses, never walk off-leash outside fenced areas, and follow your feeding, crate, and medication routines precisely. Meet-and-greets and up-to-date vaccines are required for everyone’s safety.
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of dogs. I’ve been pulled on the leash by a high energy, chocolate lab, and taken a day nap on the couch with a frenchie. Before my yorkie passed at age 15, I would change her diaper and give medication. Whatever your dog needs, I can provide! I have my cat baby, Remy, at home. He was a rescue from the shelter and is an only child. Cats are fiercely independent and have strong personalities. I know what’s it’s like to have a cat fall asleep on my chest, but also nip at me when giving a nail trim. Whether you just need someone to clean the litter or some company for your cats, I can do it all! I understand each pet has their own routine and I can follow it precisely. Let’s makes sure they’re well taken care of when you’re gone. I give great communication and pictures, so you’re never worrying. I know the heartbreak of leaving your pet behind, it’s never easy. Let me help relieve you of that burden. Currently I am working part-time in the evenings. Typically it is just 3 to four nights a week. Mornings are completely open and early afternoon. I can do late night after my shift as well, so your pet won’t be alone more than 8 hours. I understand the worries with having a stranger come into your home. Please know I treat the space with respect, you will never know I was even there! My priority is care for your pet.
“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.”
“What can we say except what a gem we found on Rover so our Sammy Sam felt comfortable and enjoyed his stay with Mia. She was excellent and sent images on a timely manner to include how often she took Sam for a walk. Will definitely keep her in mind next time we visit Miami”
“Bella was wonderful with my dogs and my home. She not only watched them, but sent pictures for every meal and trip outside. She also went the extra mile and took out my trash and cleaned up my kitchen! I will definitely work with her again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Key Biscayne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Key Biscayne on Rover is $38.85 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 3,654 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Key Biscayne. 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 Key Biscayne 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 Key Biscayne 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 Key Biscayne 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.
