I would definitely book with her again.”

About: Former St. Bernard owner here that loves all dogs big and small. I wfh and have pet sat dogs all over the world. When you book me you can feel at ease knowing your dog is properly cared for. Before confirming booking I like to do meet and greets. This is to ensure both your 4 legged friend and I get along. Also I am allergic to cats so I can only accept bookings from folks without cats. I’m currently working from home so I have the perfect schedule to dog sit all day or take your dog for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. I will follow any instructions left by you on how to properly care for your dog. I want this to be a pleasant and seamless experience for both you and your dog.
“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.”
“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 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.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog for the past 5 years, along with helping take care of my family’s dogs, including those of my sister-in-laws and mother-in-law. I’m familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I have experience caring for my own dog for over 5 years, as well as helping with my family’s dogs. I’m available throughout the day and can provide lots of attention, walks, feeding, and loving care for your pets as if they were my own. I provide attentive, loving care for pets either in my home or in my client’s home, depending on the service. I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection and companionship.Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel cared for, loved, and not alone while you’re away.
About: Growing up I had cats, dogs, birds, a bunny and even a chinchilla! Very comfortable around all types of animals and currently live with 1 cat. Whenever a friend needs a pet sitter I’m there! I am available most days, as I am working from home. I am very flexible to your schedule and your pet’s needs, can do long or short walks and check on your pet multiple times a day. I’ll adjust to your pets routine and give them extra love while you’re gone!! I can take them for long walks to get some energy out and will play with your puppy or kitty so they won’t be bored
About: I’m new to dog walking, but I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I had a Chihuahua growing up and also a cat, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats. I genuinely love being around animals and enjoy giving them attention, exercise, and care. I thought dog walking would be a fun way to spend time with pets while helping owners know their furry family members are in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and create my own hours, so my availability can vary from week to week. Because of that, I’m able to be flexible and accommodate different pet care needs, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or other scheduled care. I do my best to work around each pet owner’s schedule whenever possible. I treat every pet like they’re my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special routines. I also make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean environment while keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
“Jess took great care of my Dachshund while I was away. She was responsive, kept me updated with photos, and was always easy to reach. I appreciated how attentive she was to both my dog and my home. Knowing everything was being taken care of made traveling much less stressful. I’d definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Nicola did a great job with my dog, Lola! I left Lola for the weekend and I don't think she even missed me... she sent me videos and pictures and Lola had so much fun with Nicola! I highly recommend her and I will keep trusting Nicola with Lola.”
About: From a young age I knew how much animals meant to me. Growing up with a family that put dogs at the forefront was so important to me. A family pet was always much more than that to me - dogs are the center of a family and bring you ongoing happiness! I am a teacher so my hours end earlier than a 9-5. I’m available from 4-8:30 pm. I am able to do whatever is needed during that time period. Right now I’m free all day as it’s summer break! I have an English bulldog who LOVES new friends! I am a very neat person who is in a non smoke household. I live in a pet friendly and safe community. There are three parks surrounding my apartment for dogs to play and enjoy!

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!
Sol is a wonderful, responsible and caring pet sitter. She stayed with our 11 year old Frenchie for 8 days and gave him his daily meds, walks, playtime and cuddles. He was very happy and relaxed when we returned and our home was left spotless! I will definitely hire her again.

The best sitter ever! Tommy took our dog on plenty of walks and even for a bone at the pet store and pup cup. Tommy sent photos everyday, was very communicative, and I could tell our dog was happy. It makes it so much easier to go out of town when you know you can trust your sitter to take such good care of your pet. Tommy is the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Miami
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Miami on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,019 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:
- 91% 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.
