“Sophia is a very diligent, communicative, & thoughtful petsitter! I have 3 elderly pets with a variety of needs and Sophia recently watched them for us. I have a detailed document describing the care the pets need and it was obvious from our communications that she was very conscientious in reading and following our directions in detail. Would definitely invite her back in future! Thanks Sophia!”
“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.”
“Javier watched my 13 year old dog while I was out of the country on vacation! He was the absolute best. He sent regular photos and updates and was really accommodating of everything my dog needed. He made my trip so much better because I was at peace knowing my dog was being taken such good care of. Highly highly recommended Javier for any type of pet sitting or pet care!”
“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”

I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog stays safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, going on walks, or giving them extra attention, I’ll care for them like they’re my own and make sure they get the love and care they deserve.

“Julia was amazing! She took great care of my pups, stayed later to feed them dinner when our flight was delayed, and sent pictures throughout her stay! It made us feel at ease leaving our dogs in such good care, I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. I recently got my very first dog a year ago and I have learned so much! Dogs are family. I work from home and when my dog is with me I take her for walks around my neighborhood twice a day, sometimes three if the weather permits. There is a very nice park located away 10mins away from my house. Currently my pup is with my mom so all of my attention will be dedicated to your pup! Dogs will always be on leash when outside. Inside the apartment the dog will be in a loving, caring, and clean environment. Lots of toys and belly rubs! I always supervise my dog when playing with her toys just to be safe. Dogs are allowed on furniture except in the bedroom, I have a baby gate in place.

About: I have participated in the Animal Protection Association. Joining the association was a natural decision. During these years, I have had the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities that seek to improve the lives of animals. I have helped organize adoption campaigns, which have allowed many dogs and cats to find loving homes. I have also collaborated on sterilisation and vaccination programmes, which are essential for controlling the stray animal population and preventing disease. In addition, I have worked on community education and awareness of the importance of responsible pet care. Together with other volunteers, we have visited schools and communities to teach children and adults about empathy and respect for animals. These activities not only benefit animals, but also foster positive values in people. He participado en la Asociación Protectora de Animales. Unirme a la asociación fue una decisión natural.

“Ahliah was amazing with my puppy. She sent tons of updates and was a fabulous communicator. She was loving and kind to my puppy and made her feel so comfortable. I couldn’t speak more highly of her!”
About: I’ll take time to learn your pet’s personality, preferences, and routine so they feel comfortable in my care. Whether your pet enjoys active walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages. I’m currently a medical student, and I plan bookings around my academic commitments so I can give your pet the attention they need. Before confirming, I’ll discuss my availability and your pet’s usual routine, including walks, meals, bathroom breaks, and how long they’re comfortable being alone. I don’t have a yard, so outdoor time will include leashed walks and bathroom breaks suited to your dog’s routine and energy level. Before each booking, I’ll review feeding instructions, behavior, emergency contacts, and any special needs. In your home, I’ll respect your space, secure doors, and follow your instructions to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Miami
Jimmy is the absolute best!!! My cat needs 2 different medications, twice a day, and has had stomach issues. I was so worried about leaving, but the minute Jimmy walked in the door and met both of my cats, I could tell they trusted him immediately. My shy cat (who does not come out for ANYONE) stayed out and even cuddled with Jimmy after 5 days, which is unbelievable. When I got home, the apartment was beautiful, and my babies acted normal, as if I hadn't been away at all. I couldn't have been luckier to have found Jimmy and will book him again. He's a true gem!
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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Miami is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $92 per night. 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 3,987 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Miami. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
