“Caroline was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my kitty with so much love, patience, and professionalism. She treated her as if she were her own, making sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved throughout her stay. My cat can be very shy and nervous around new people, but Caroline was incredibly patient and gentle with her. I truly appreciated all the updates and the care she gave her. I would leave my kitty with Caroline again with my eyes closed! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible to look after their beloved pet. Thank you, Caroline, for taking such beautiful care of my little girl! ❤️”

About: As a devoted animal lover and self-proclaimed "dog whisperer," I understand the unique bond we share with our furry friends. With a deep sense of responsibility, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve. And while I love and connect with dogs, I find cats absolutely adorable and believe they are a special gift from above. I am committed to staying close to animals and providing a safe, nurturing environment for them. You can trust me to care for your pets with the same dedication and compassion I would give my own. Your peace of mind is my priority! I run my own business and have the flexibility to create my own schedule. With enough notice, I can easily accommodate my schedule to meet your pets needs with priority and ease. I prioritize safety by paying attention to details, specifically when it comes to following the pet owner’s specific care routines. From there, it's all about creating a secure environment and ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved.

About: What sets me apart is my flexibility and professionalism. I love being outside and going on walks, and it’s even better with a furry friend! I work remote and am very flexible. Tell me when you need help and most likely I’ll be able to be there no matter the time! Will follow whatever instructions you have and use common sense when needed. No snooping or weird stuff, just a normal girl. If they need some quality time I’m happy to be there.

About: I treat every pet like family. I know what it means to love and to lose, and that experience shaped how carefully I care for the ones still here. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pet care, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy long walks in nature and taking the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine. I care for every pet with patience, presence, and respect. I live in a quiet, cozy one-bedroom apartment with two cats. There is no balcony, and the space is calm and secure. For dogs, there is a designated dog park in my building. I always follow pet parents’ instructions closely to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, turtles and fish. Having small dogs around brings me so much joy. I love animals so much your pet will feel like they’re with an extended member of the family when they are with me! They will get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention while you are away. I will make sure they have a lot of fun are safe and treated with love, patience, understanding, respect and kindness always! They will get tons of attention. I don’t have a crate they can have full use of the couch and bed and run around! They will love staying with me. It’ll be like a resort vacation that’s all about them! Might even throw in some sound healing. Also whatever holiday or season it is, I’ll make sure to do something festive with them! I love cooking healthy food, I can cook for your pet too or give your fur baby pet food; up to you! I work from home and have all the time in the world to look after your sweet fur baby! They’ll get plenty of potty walks and attention exercise and my building has sooooo many dogs, they’ll get plenty of social fun! I live at the flamingo so there are plenty of fenced areas for your dog to play and socialize if that’s what you like. I can walk your baby/babies by the boats for a nice water view. The neighborhood is also a really nice area for walks. There are lots of parks nearby and parks in my building and little beach areas in my building! They will love me and they will love it here!

“Anthony did amazing with drop-in visits for my bunny. Despite being new to caring for a bunny, he didn’t bat an eye to accept a request and help care for her over the holidays. He was super attentive to the unique care she needed. He is trustworthy, communicative, and punctual. He will be my go-to from now on for any pet needs in the future!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, and for the past 4 years I’ve been caring for dogs through walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’ve looked after dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need patience, structure, and plenty of play, to senior dogs who do best with a gentle pace, extra comfort, and close attention to their needs. I adapt my care to each dog’s age, energy level, and personality. That might mean a long, active walk for one dog and a slow stroll plus some cuddle time for another. Spending time with animals is genuinely fun for me, and I want every dog I care for to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to follow your routines and keep you updated on how your pup is doing Working from home gives me a flexible schedule that makes pet care a natural part of my day. Pets staying with me get my company throughout the day, with regular breaks for walks, potty trips, meals, and playtime built around my work. A typical day starts with a morning walk at the park next to my house, followed by breakfast and some downtime while I work nearby. Midday brings another walk or play session. Evenings are for one more good outing, dinner, and relaxing together. I’m happy to adjust this to match your pet’s usual routine, energy level, and needs. Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily fit in dog walks and drop-in visits for clients, and I always plan my week so that every pet in my care gets the time and attention they deserve. Because I work from home, pets staying with me are never left alone for long stretches. They get company, attention, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. My home is calm and pet-friendly, and I make sure it’s safe and secure before every stay. I have a friendly cat who is used to living with both dogs and cats, so most pets settle in easily. If your pet needs their own space, or if they’re still getting comfortable, I can keep them separated so everyone stays relaxed and stress-free. There’s a huge dog-friendly park right next to my house, which makes it easy to fit plenty of walks, exercise, and outdoor play into each day. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routines closely, keep your home secure, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: For eight years, I've been caring for all kinds of dogs with dedication and responsibility. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets as if they were part of my own family. My commitment is to provide attentive, safe, and personalized service so that both dogs and their owners feel calm and happy at all times. I currently work part-time, which allows me the availability and time necessary to provide quality care for your pet. I am available for boarding on weekends and also during the week from 2:00 p.m. I love spending time with dogs, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and accompanied at all times. I can care for your pet in the comfort of your own home, so they feel safer and calmer in their usual space. I know how important it is to maintain their routines and familiar environment, so I adapt to their needs with respect and care. During my visit, they will not only be well cared for, but we will also have fun with games, walks, and moments of companionship that will make them feel happy and accompanied.

About: Hi, I’m Cynthia, a Master’s student originally from the Midwest. I spent two months pet sitting in the D.C. area in May 2023 and that was the start of an incredible journey. Since then I have cared for everything from cats to dogs to birds. I’ve even once cared for a colleague’s hedgehog! In March, I settled in Miami while I pursue my degree because I love the weather here. Anywho, I’d love to spend some time taking care of your furry friends. I’m open to short or long term sits or walks! I currently work from home part-time and am a very part-time student. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family members while you are away. I do not care for pets in my home at this time. It is more convenient for me to sit at the owner's place of residence.

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals. I learned to ride horses at a young age and even took care of my own guinea pig at the age of eight. Animals have been a huge part of my life so I understand how important it is to have a sitter who sees your pet the way you do. I have experience with all kinds of animals from bunnies to cats to dogs to even horses. I have volunteered at animal shelters and even helped out on farms. With my experience and professionalism I can assure you that your pets wellbeing comes first and is not only seen as a loving animal but a part of your family. I am currently working part time, so my schedule is very flexible. Any service you need I will provide, including a walks, play time etc. If their is a specific schedule your pet prefers I will execute it so your animal feels as comfortable as possible. I live in a spacious apartment and make sure it is pet-safe by keeping potentially hazardous areas and cabinets closed. Because I work part time, your cat will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I encourage owners to bring their pets favorite toys, bed, and litter box so they can keep their normal routine and feel as comfortable as possible in a new environment. My goal is to make their stay feel safe, stress-free, and as close to home as possible.

About: I've cared for birds, big breed dogs, cats and even a tarantula. I am good at hiding medicine in treats or convincing a cat to swallow a pill. I've even raised and cared for baby birds and kittens. I'm currently studying and needed a flexible job. I like to move my body around but get bored at the gym and miss my walks with my great dane after she passed. A walk with a pup is more fun that the stair-master at the gym I am the friend my friends call to watch there pets. I'm really good when it comes to maintaining and up-keeping any kennels or pet rooms clean. I also like to wash bowls if their owners don't mind.

About: My passion and experience with dogs have been long-lasting. In fact, I have taken care of a dog for 15 years, from their puppyhood until the end of their life, and I was involved in every aspect of their care. I played with them, provided training, took care of their health, and raised them with love. Throughout this time, my understanding and dedication to dogs have grown. I'm here to provide the same level of care and attention to you and your dog! I’m available after six from Tuesday to Sunday I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays. We can talk about being able to make changes and appropriate programming As a dog sitter, I provide excellent care and love for dogs both in my home and in my client's home. In my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment for the dogs, ensuring they have plenty of food, water, and exercise. I also give them lots of attention and playtime. In my client's home, I follow their specific instructions for caring for their pets, including feeding, walking, and any other necessary tasks. My goal is to make sure the dogs feel happy and well taken care of, whether they're in my home or their own. Since I have a large garden in my home, I can spend wonderful time with dogs in the garden! I can provide them with a space where they can release their energy and play. We can go for walks in the garden, play games, and even organize special activities for dogs. Ensuring that dogs are comfortable and happy is my priority!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Miami Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Miami Beach is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $40 per visit. 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 796 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Miami Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Miami Beach. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
