“Jess has been our dog/house sitter since last year, and we are so happy to have found her. She is fantastic. This last trip we thought she might not be available, but she adjusted her schedule and made it work, which we truly appreciated. The photos and videos she sends show just how much she loves our baby. She always leaves our home spotless, and we feel so grateful to have such a kind and reliable sitter. 12 out of 10, would absolutely recommend.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing they gave my puppy so much attention. My puppy was afraid because his first time without me at night and they helped him through it. Gave me great feedback and constant updates. Stayed in my home and very respectful in my apartment.”
“We had the chance to meet Chelsea when we came to visit the US for a month , Our dog has separation anxiety so we needed someone affectionate and patient. We knew she was the right person for our dog when we met. We received plenty of pictures which reassured us, and her feedback was very helpful. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a caring sitter.”
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Beyond my own dogs, I've also taken care of dogs belonging to friends, family, and my roommate — walking them often and playing with them regularly. I love spoiling dogs with attention and affection, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well exercised I work a full-time job during the day, which is why I'm available weekday evenings starting at 6:00 PM. The good news is that my weekends are completely free, so I'm available all day Saturday and Sunday to take care of your pets! During drop-in visits and walks, I follow the dog's usual routine to keep them comfortable — making sure they have food and water, giving them attention and playtime, and adjusting the walk to their energy level and pace. I treat every dog with the same love and care I'd give my own, always keeping their safety and happiness as my priority.
“Connie did an amazing job looking after our dog and our home while we were away! Our dog, Layla, is a bit older and has her own little quirks, so we are always a little anxious leaving her. However, Connie was so patient and gentle that she got Layla to warm up to her in no time. Connie maintained fantastic communication throughout the entire stay, sending lots of updates and sweet photos that completely put our minds at ease. On top of the incredible pet care, she took wonderful care of our house as well. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Connie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter.”
“Sol was great, she turned up on time, was great with communication and sent lots of updates. Rolo seemed to have a great time and it seems like she actually has a real love for dogs which is important to me when leaving rolo in someone’s care! ❤️”
“Nathalie looked after our two pups for a month and house-sat for us over the holidays. She did an excellent job, we received regular updates, both pups were very well looked after and the house also immaculate when we returned. Thank you and we definitely recommend!”
About: Born and raised on small farm in Puerto Rico where my family always took in stray dogs (every dog has a story:D) Looking to get a daily fix of dog love as I start my PhD this year! MD-PhD student with flexible schedule. Free after 5pm. Free on weekends at all times. Happy to help those who work evenings and overnights! I will only be available on weekdays -midday- if located walking distance from UHealth/Jackson Memorial Hospital. I love to get out to run or walk every day to refresh the soul. I believe in consistency to make the experience best for your pet while building trust with owners over time. Happy to form a long-term walking schedule as needed.
“Cassie was amazing! She stayed with our cat for three days. We returned to a spotless home and a very happy kitty. We got photos daily and she handled medication administration perfectly. Would 1000% recommend.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own. I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to each dog’s unique needs, whether it’s extra playtime, slow walks, or lots of cuddles. I treat every pup with the same care, safety, and affection I give to my own dog. I do love going on walks and or runs around the neighborhood everyday! I’m currently working at home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to focus on your pups. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, or extra attention, I can easily fit their routine into mine. Your dog’s safety is my #1 priority on every walk. I’m attentive, patient, and always stay aware of my surroundings. I make sure leashes are secure, avoid unsafe areas, and tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether your pup loves to explore, stroll slowly, or get a good workout, I keep them safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way.

She sent some pics while we were oit and stayed in communication.. Rachael even stayed a little later for us as we were running late.. In short. ., she's awesome, definitely will have her again 😊🤗🐶🐾”
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.
“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!”
“Issaya (Locket) did a wonderful job watching our little boy recently. She house-sitted for over 2 weeks and took great care & updated us often. She did a great job making him feel comfortable when we were away. She left our place clean prior to our arrival and overall we were very happy with her service. Will definitely book again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Miami is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Miami
Cassie was by far the best rover I’ve had to date. She took exceptional care of my cat and my home. She updated me every morning and night with photos and videos and I felt like she genuinely cared and is a true animal lover. I will definitely be booking Cassie again!!!
Miles did a great job checking in on my big girl, she’s 90 lbs of energy and immediately did well with his calm demeanor. I’d recommend if you’d want someone reliable, thoughtful, & responsible. Checked in with me daily and sent photos of her to update, will likely hire again for future check ins. 🙏🏽💯
Samantha was so amazing with our cats! She sent such helpful updates and pictures and made sure to follow the instructions for their care and our apartment very closely. We felt so comfortable that they were well taken care of and it was clear they took an immediate liking to her. Highly recommend and will be booking her again!
Julianna was wonderful with dogs Honey and Daisy! 🥰 She kept me updated with photos and messages, followed all of their care instructions, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pups were happy, comfortable, and well. I would absolutely trust her to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Julianna!
Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you can leave for Victoria was absolutely amazing with our dog, Leyla! She took excellent care of her, gave us regular updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Leyla and treated her like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Victoria is reliable, kind, professional, and truly loves animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Victoria! 🐾❤️
Emily took very good care of our indoor/outdoor friends. She was communicative, capable of following somewhat complex feeding schedules and allowed us to enjoy our time away with peace of mind. Would highly recommend her and look forward to the next time we can book her for a trip!
We had an amazing experience! From our first meet and greet, she was professional, communicative, and incredibly caring. While we were away, she took wonderful care of our three pets—Louie, Kiwi, and Mochi. Louie absolutely adored her and had a blast during his time with her. Kiwi and Mochi were equally well cared for and clearly received lots of love and attention. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy home, which gave us such peace of mind while traveling. She went above and beyond with updates, flexibility, and thoughtful touches that made the entire experience exceptional. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. Thank you again for taking such great care of our furry family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Miami on Rover is $53.5 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 3,950 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Miami. 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 Miami 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 Miami 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 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!
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 Miami. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
