“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!”
“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.”
“Nathalie was great with our kitten Lucky. She stayed at our home for a week and she really took great care of him while we were gone. Our house was sparkling clean when we arrived which is something we really appreciate. She was kind enough to pick up some packages from our locker which she didn’t have to do which really tells you how kind she is. Thank you Nathalie! We will definitely be booking with you in the future!”
“Connie was so attentive to my picky cat. It was clear she was very happy to have Connie stay with her for over a week and I came back to a house that was definitely cleaner than how I left it!”
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.
“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: 🐾 10+ Years of Experience, Love & Dedicated Pet Care 🐾 For over 10 years, I have dedicated myself to caring for animals with love, patience, responsibility, and genuine passion. I understand that every pet is unique and that trusting someone with a beloved member of your family is an important decision. My goal is to give every pet in my care the same attention, affection, protection, and respect I would want for my own. I offer a variety of personalized pet care services, including boarding, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, walks, pick-up & drop-off, bathing, brushing, grooming, and individualized daily care. Whether your pet is staying with me for a few hours, several days, or simply needs some extra attention and pampering, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home. I always take the time to learn about each pet's personality, temperament, feeding schedule, walking routine, sleeping habits, favorite activities, medications, special needs, fears, and preferences. Maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible can make a huge difference in helping them feel relaxed and secure while away from their family. Safety and cleanliness are extremely important to me. I provide a clean, comfortable, supervised, and caring environment, with plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and rest according to each pet's individual needs. My experience has taught me that excellent pet care is not simply about feeding or walking an animal—it is about understanding their behavior, noticing the little things, respecting their boundaries, earning their trust, and making sure they feel genuinely cared for every single day. Communication with pet parents is also very important to me. I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing that your companion is receiving attentive and responsible care while you are away. Above all, this is more than a service to me. Caring for animals is something I truly love. Every pet that comes into my care is treated with patience, kindness, dedication, and lots of affection. 🐶🐱 Your pet's comfort, happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my priority. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member and giving them a loving home away from home! ❤️🐾 Pet care is not something I simply fit into my schedule—it is a meaningful part of my daily life. ❤️🐾 I organize my routine around the pets in my care, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, walks, meals, rest, and companionship throughout the day. I have the flexibility to adapt my schedule to each pet's individual routine because I believe they feel happiest and safest when their familiar habits are respected. Whether your pet loves morning walks, afternoon playtime, quiet cuddle time, or needs extra attention and patience, I make room for what makes them feel most comfortable. When a pet stays with me, they become part of my everyday routine—not just another booking. My goal is simple: while you are away, I want your pet to feel like they have a second home filled with love, attention, comfort, and care. 🐶🐱❤️ 🐾 A Safe, Loving Home Away From Home ❤️ When your pet is in my care, my priority is simple: I want them to feel safe, understood, loved, and as comfortable as they would be with you. Every pet has their own personality, routine, favorite things, fears, and little habits—and I take the time to learn them. 🏡 In my home, pets enjoy a clean, comfortable, supervised, and loving environment where they can truly feel like part of the family. Their days can include walks, outdoor time, playtime, toys, cuddles, relaxing breaks, and plenty of personal attention, always depending on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medications, sleeping preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Safety is always a priority, so activities and interactions are supervised and adapted to each pet. 🐶 In your home, I understand that I am entering your pet's safe and familiar space. I respect your home, your rules, and—most importantly—your pet's established routine. Depending on the service, I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, medication according to your instructions, and lots of affection. My goal is to keep their day feeling as familiar and normal as possible while you are away. I never believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to pet care. Some pets want to play all day, some want long walks, some love cuddles, and others simply need a patient person nearby until they feel comfortable enough to trust. I adapt my care to them—not the other way around. And because I know how difficult it can be to leave someone you love behind, I want you to have peace of mind too. ❤️ My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your furry family member is receiving genuine attention, patience, protection, and affection. You may be booking a pet care service, but I know you are trusting me with a member of your family—and I will always treat that trust with the care it deserves. 🐾❤️
“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!”
“Very dependable. I was worried to leave my pup with anyone. Sol made me feel very comfortable. She sent a lot of pictures and kept me updated through out my puppies stay. 10/10. Would hire again”

“Chrysi was super attentive and caring for my cat. She stayed at my house over thanksgiving and made me feel at ease that my cat was in such caring hands! She was a very quick responder as well❤️❤️ will definitely book again!!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Miami
Allegra was amazing from start to finish. My dogs get separation anxiety when I leave. One of my dogs will get physically ill from being so worried if the sitter doesn’t spend enough time with her. That didn’t happen with Allegra. She gave them lots of love and attention while I was gone that my dog never got sick. She gave lots of updates, checked my mail, and kept the house tidy. I will definitely hire again next time we go out of town. It feels good to find someone I can trust with my dogs and in my home.
Emily was amazing! I was nervous to leave my fur babies after the last sitter was a complete disaster. Emily house sat my two dogs and kitten. The house was super clean when I returned, no accidents and the animals all seemed happy and content. They clearly liked having Emily there. I already booked her for another trip and hope she’s available for more in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of everyone!
Nathalie was absolutely perfect. I am still amazed at how great everything worked out. I needed someone to house and catsit while I was gone for three weeks. Nathalie was the most attentive cat sitter and house guest I've ever had. Not only did she take great care of my cat (my cat let her pick him up and cuddled with her!!), she stayed in touch every day by sending photos and videos. She also left my apartment in an impeccable condition, wanting to ensure I would return to a clean home after a 12h journey. I'm impressed and grateful for her and cannot wait to request her catsitting services again.
Anna looked apartment sat with Astro whilst I was away. Astro was right at home with her immediately, being playful and sleeping on her bed. Anna was great with communication, is very friendly, left the apartment in great condition and most importantly Astro looked almost disappointed I was home! I can not recommend her highly enough. Thank you Anna!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Miami on Rover is $53.5 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 4,015 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.
