About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and connection I have with animals. I’ve cared for many of my friends’ pets over the years—dogs and cats, and I naturally bond with them. They tend to feel calm and happy around me. I have experience with both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. Whether it’s long walks, gentle care, or lots of cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. et care fits into my routine naturally—it’s something I truly enjoy! Even though I work full-time, I have a hybrid schedule and work from home three days a week, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets with lots of attention and love. I’m also off on weekends and finish work early on Fridays, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and cuddles. Taking care of animals truly brings me joy—it’s one of the highlights of my week! I treat every pet like part of the family when caring for them in their own home. I make sure their environment stays calm, safe, and comfortable, following all instructions from the pet parents carefully—feeding schedules, favorite toys, and any special needs. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and prioritize the pet’s comfort and security. I also provide regular updates to build trust and keep owners at ease while they’re away.

About: Lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up in a home full of animals, including Yorkshire terriers, birds, hamsters, fish, and more, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. As an adult, I’ve cared for two rescue dogs of my own: an elderly, special-needs chihuahua and a high-energy terrier mix. This experience taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, energy levels, and care routines. I’ve also been trusted by neighbors and family friends for pet sitting and house sitting over several years, often caring for medium to large dogs who are most comfortable staying in their home rather than in a kennel. I’m a young professional and Columbia University graduate, and I do this because I genuinely love animals. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible and present. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to care. I like to understand each pet’s behavior, routine, and preferences upfront to create a calm, low-stress experience. I’m especially experienced with senior pets and those with medical needs, and I’m careful to follow instructions closely, whether that’s medications, feeding schedules, or specific routines. You can expect me to be highly organized, communicative, and reliable. I provide regular updates with photos and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I work fully remote, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m home most of the day and can adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs, including mornings, lunch, and evening I believe in caring for the whole dog, not just completing a walk or visit. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and understood. When possible, I like to learn about a dog’s behavior and routine ahead of time so I can tailor my care to them. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific preferences. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates with photos and videos.

About: From an early age, I developed a deep affection for animals, having grown up in a household with six English Mastiffs for whom I was primarily responsible. This experience cultivated a lifelong commitment to the care and well-being of dogs of all breeds and sizes. Today, I am the proud owner of three dogs: a Pomeranian, an English Mastiff, and a German Shepherd. My diverse experience has allowed me to develop expertise in canine care across various breeds and temperaments. Over the years, I have provided attentive, compassionate care for dogs in all stages of life. This has included administering medication at scheduled times, monitoring post-operative recovery, and addressing specific dietary or medical needs. Friends and family often rely on me to care for their pets, knowing I bring both competence and sincere affection to the role. At present, I am not working and have significant availability, which means your pet will receive my full attention and care. My home features a spacious, securely fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely. I also keep a variety of toys on hand to ensure enrichment and engagement. My dog is extremely sociable and will welcome your pet into a friendly, well-supervised environment. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, offering not just supervision but affection, patience, and attentiveness I am very available atm! I am not working at the moment and have a lot of free time to take care of your pets! I live in a one bedroom apartment but have a dog park attached to it as well so there is plenty of space to run and play. I will treat your pets as if they are my own:)

About: All the experience I had with animals it’s been personal, with my own pets, my whole life I had cats, my family and I used to rescue them from the street, and we still do it. We give them a home and a family to care for them. I also love taking care of dog but I didn’t have the chance till now. Currently all my pets are in my country so, I‘d love to help other people with puppies or kitties to make them feel loved even when they are not around, so let’s make it happen. I can follow any special requests your pet needs, that’s what we are here for right?. Also I’m 21 years old and currently a student looking for and extra income.

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life. Taking care of my two dogs and one cat was always part of my routine and something I fell in love with. I'm always the friend or family member that stops to ask to pet your dog or cat simply because it makes my day. My family has such a strong love for animals which is what has fostered my deep love and enthusiasm for all kinds of animals. I've volunteered at the kitty condos in petsmart which involved playing with the kittens, socializing them with others, as well as feeding them. I've pet sit for two families one summer ago as well as fostering puppies with my family 4 summers in a row. I am no stranger to what it takes to make sure you as the pet parent feel safe and relaxed while your lovely pet is in my care. I currently work part time at a hybrid position so my schedule has a lot of flexibility and free time to give your fur baby all the care and love they deserve! I am able to feed your pet that follows your preferred schedule since I'm flexible! I am one block away from Flamingo Park with lots of grassy trails. My neighborhood is very calm and quiet with lots of pets around. I understand what being away from your own pet feels like so I will assure you that you'll be able to reach me at any moment as I will provide strong communication when needed.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and pet parent, caring for both a dog and a cat for 15 years. Through them, I gained experience with every stage of life. I can entertain energetic younger pets to giving calmer care to seniors needing extra patience, comfort, and gentle care. After recently losing my pets to old age, I am excited to open my home to caring for others. I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for, and I will treat every animal as if they were our own. I currently work remotely from home and have and create my own schedule. I am able to give snuggles through the day and as many walks as needed. I live in a large apartment building and everything is safe and secure. For cats, I have a litter box in my home that I can provide and all of the bowls and a filtered water fountain. For dogs, I can privately walk your dog around our building (and to the park if they are big walkers) if they are not friendly with other animals. If your dog is friendly, I have two dog parks at my building that they can interact with other dogs too. Totally up to your comfort.

“Our experience was wonderful! She took great care of our cats and kept us updated with photos and messages after every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and spent quality time with them, not just the basics. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and everything was just as we left it. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

About: Caio and I always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra love and attention! Kristin previously helped care for her mom’s senior Pomeranian, who required special attention with feeding, bathroom assistance, and his daily routine. This experience taught her the importance of patience, gentleness, and adapting to each pet’s individual needs. Kristin and Caio also lived with two cats, one kitten and one adult, so we are comfortable with feline friends too! We like spending time playing with them and getting to know their different personalities. One of the biggest perks of Kristin’s schedule is that she works from home, so she is able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. We live in a spacious apartment near a park with lots of grassy areas, perfect for walks, outdoor time, and potty breaks! Our goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. We will always treat your fur babies like they’re my own! 🐾❤️ I work fully remotely Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day! My meetings typically last no longer than 30 minutes, so I’m able to take frequent breaks for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also tend to spend my weekends at home or enjoying a relaxed routine, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends. Whether your pet needs an active day with lots of walks or simply enjoys having someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I live in a spacious, comfortable apartment with plenty of room for pets to relax and feel at home. While I don’t have a private yard, I live near a park with lots of grassy areas, making it easy to take dogs out for regular walks, potty breaks, and fresh air. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left without company for long periods, and I’m able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, or other special care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll also happily send photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up with them, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all ages and can follow any special care instructions you provide. I’m also comfortable giving medications and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home full-time, so I’m always around to give pets attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just keeping them company, I enjoy having pets around while I work. It’s a great part of my daily routine and something I truly love. I live in an apartment and work from home full-time, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I only take one pet at a time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I stick to their routine and make sure they’re happy while you’re away.

About: As a lifelong pet owner of 16+ years, I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. I also have professional experience working at a dog hotel, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as cats. My specialties are cat sitting and dog walking, but I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of pets and their individual needs. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. ❤️ I’m very flexible and available, and I’m happy to work around your schedule and discuss pricing that works for both of us. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in good hands! 🐶🐱💕 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly schedule. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits, walks, and regular pet-care needs throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether that means morning or evening visits, feeding schedules, litter-box maintenance, playtime, or walks. I’m dependable, communicative, and willing to coordinate a schedule that works best for both you and your pet. I would care for another person’s pet with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’d take the time to understand their routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before getting started. During each visit, I’d make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, appropriate exercise and playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’d also keep their owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is safe and happy. Most importantly, I’d respect each pet’s individual needs and their owner’s home and instructions, making their time apart as stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱❤️

About: I’ve been around pets since I can remember, especially cats and dogs. I’ve personally owned a dog, bunnies, tortoises, fish, a praying mantis, and I currently own an aquatic turtle, a beta fish, a ghost mantis, and an African grey parrot. We also recently took in a baby dove that’d been abandoned. I love surround myself with loving pets of all kind and I’d be delighted to take in yours too! I’m currently still in school so I’m the afternoons I’ll have all the time to do any activity with your pet! On weekends I’m completely free and on weekdays after 2:30pm. I personally would spend my time going on little adventures with my dog, but it al varies on what your pet or you are comfortable with. I generally try to do my best to create a very loving and non-hostile environment for all pets that enter my place of residence. I play a lot and make sure they get the exercise they need for the day.

Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful taking care of Apollo and Elio! She dropped in three times a day to make sure they were fed, cared for, and that Apollo got his potty breaks. I was especially anxious about leaving Elio for the very first time, but Elizabeth made the entire experience so much easier. She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and reassuring throughout our time away. I received tons of pictures and updates, which really helped ease my worries and gave me peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust her with Apollo and Elio again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Miami

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Miami is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 6,178 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Miami. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Miami 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!

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Miami with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Miami. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
