“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.”
“Jessica was fantastic! I hadn't left my 18 yo cat, Baby, for over two years and was incredibly stressed about it, especially because he's had some medical issues, but I had to take a trip for work. Jessica was great with him! He gets very constipated, but he even pooped 2x while I was away so that made me feel better. Highly recommend Jessica and will book again in the future. Thank you!!!!!!!”
“Sophia was super kind, friendly and awesome! She was down to meet prior to the sit to see if vibes were matching and they indeed did! She made sure donut was occupied, played with and kept him happy! She was also energetic and outgoing just like our doggo so it matched very well. She also updated me alot with pictures, videos, and texts! I very much appreciated that while we were out for the couple hours. Thank you again for watching donut! We will forsure contact you for future visits!”
“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!”
“Juliana was wonderful with my dog. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter, and Juliana gave me so much peace of mind. She communicated frequently, sent plenty of photos and videos, and kept me updated on her behavior and medications. She was kind, attentive, and caring. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Jimmy was incredible. He is truly the best sitter — he is great at sending updates & loving on your pets. It is a huge relief to find someone great to watch your fur babies.”
“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.”
About: I’m a college student and I’ve had dogs my entire life. I currently have two very loving pups. I can provide all kinds of services from drops in , boarding , house sitting , medication , runs, and baths. I have a fenced in back yard with tons of room to run. I can provide pick up and drop off . I am a part time bartender but I don’t typically work more than 4 hours at a time. I used to work on WAG and Rover a while ago but took a break after losing one of our dogs. My pups and I would love to have new friends to go to the park and play fetch with. Don’t be afraid to ask me anything I am very accommodating.
“Rachael showed up right on time and hsd an awesome attitude.. Our frenchies were all over her, so that was the sign that they liked her.. 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: Growing up in a dog-loving family in Colombia, I've been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old. My lifelong experience with a variety of dogs has given me a deep understanding and love for our furry friends. I'm particularly skilled at creating a nurturing environment for dogs, whether they are energetic puppies or need special senior care. With my work-from-home lifestyle and frequent walk breaks, I ensure that every dog in my care enjoys plenty of attention, exercise, and love Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. Working from home most days allows me the flexibility to give constant care and attention to dogs. I’m happy to dog sit and go to your home. I am very affectionate and caring, love going on walks as well. Happy to adjust to the different needs
“Emily was great, she was able to make herself available quickly when my sitter from rover cancelled last minute. My pup slept by her the entire time and she kept updating me on how he was doing. Highly recommend her.”
“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! ❤️”
About: I’m calm, patient, and very attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I raised my rescue cat from 3 months old after bringing her home from Dubai, and I’ve also fostered a kitten who needed three different medications six times a day while recovering from several illnesses. That experience taught me to be especially observant, consistent, and comfortable with hands-on care. I’m comfortable with kittens and puppies, as well as older or more sensitive pets. Whether your pet needs lots of cuddles, a long walk, a little extra patience, or medication on a strict schedule, I treat them like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. (Follow paw adventures here, Tiktok: littlepaw_club). Right now, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy building my routine around pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting, and I’m able to give pets plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m naturally a homebody, so I especially enjoy having a furry companion around for walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I like to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules closely, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also very attentive to changes in behavior or appetite and will communicate with you throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”

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!
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!!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
