About: I’ve been a dog lover ever since I was a kid and finally when I turned 18 I was able to own my first dog. I’ve had Whopper for 13 years and I’ve taken great care of him. Additionally when friends or family members are in need I’ve been able to help them by feeding/walking their fur babies I am always on top of my dog’s care 24/7 and would definitely do the same for other dogs since I know how important it is. I make sure water is always available, and always make sure all their needs are met. Including: feeding, snack time, walks, and belly rubs to make sure they’re always happy

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets and understand the responsibility that comes with keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and personal preferences. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels. I make sure pets receive plenty of companionship, exercise, and positive attention while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are well cared for. My pet care routine fits naturally into my daily life because I’m a full-time stay-at-home caregiver. I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I’m available to follow each dog’s regular routine, including walks, meals, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication, and rest. Since I’m home full time, pets won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet, whether care takes place in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, boundaries, and emergency contacts. I keep doors, gates, and secure areas properly closed, supervise pets during walks and playtime, and remove or avoid potential hazards. I respect each client’s home, belongings, and privacy, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, cared for, and comfortable while their owner is away.

“David is a godsend! My little Milu is my world and at almost 16 years of age needs lots of attention. The stress of leaving him for business or personal trips has always been incredible. I’ve not had the best experiences with other sitters who never do what they promise until I met David! The care, attention and time David gave to Milu was mush more than I ever could have hoped for. David would provide lots of pictures and updates and for the first time in almost 16 years I could travel stress free! Milu might have been disappointed when I came home 😂. David knows how to give medication if your baby needs them. I simply cannot give a high enough recommendation to this incredible person. If you want the best possible care David is your only choice!”

About: Dogs were always present growing up. I’m my adult life I had 2 white west-highland white terriers which I adore. Good with impossible dogs . Many people always say to me “my dog never acts this way around people.” I believe dogs are truely keen on energies and emotions. So with that being said I have cared for 8 weeks to end of 14 yr life cycles and all the care that entails I am currently self employed but because of the economy my work is slow quite a bit. Sometimes off in a two week time period I have no dogs at the moment and I terribly want one but my schedule doesn’t accomodate a last minute work schedule where I have to travel

“Yolanda was absolutely amazing! We went out of town and she pet sat in our home. She sent updates everyday numerous times throughout the day with pictures! When we got home we could tell that our dog lily absolutely adored her and she was not stressed out at all. Yolanda even left our house cleaner than when we left. We were so surprised! We were truly grateful to have Yolanda to take care of our baby while we were gone! We would definitely use her again!”

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. Any of my friends can tell you how much I love dogs, and how excited I am to see all of them around Miami! I am highly qualified to take care of senior pets or puppies/kittens and have done so before. I have experience with large/small animals, and rescue or purebred. I am capable of walking/exercising, brushing, feeding, playing, and fully taking care of your pets! I treat each pet like my own and strive for genuine, loving care of them! I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, and weekday mornings/nights. I'm a graduate student, so my only time conflict is classes around midday. I also work part-time as a barista on Monday mornings. I am extremely attentive and patient with pets. I've raised three dogs at home in Georgia, and have experience potty training in both houses and apartments. I also have experience with dogs with heart disease, anxiety, and asthma. I have identified when dogs are choking and have food poisoning, and provided the necessary care.

“Marina was completely reliable, flexible, highly communicative and great with the dogs. Our usually nervous younger dog took to her very quickly and was soon rolling on his back for her. She sent lots of really great photos and left the house as she found it. I would not hesitate to hire her again. Thank you, Marina, for helping us out in a pinch, and for taking such good care of our boys!”

About: Animals have always been my favorite coworkers. Before and during college, I volunteered over 300 hours at my local Humane Society caring for dogs and cats of every age and personality: from bottle-feeding tiny kittens to walking energetic dogs and helping with training and medication. These days, most of my bookings come from repeat clients and referrals which is probably my favorite compliment. I treat every home like it’s my own and every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether your pet wants an adventure buddy, a couch companion, or someone patient enough to earn their trust, I’m happy to be exactly who they need while you’re away (: I work from home full-time, so house sitting fits well into my routine. I’m able to spend plenty of time at the home during the day while still maintaining my normal work schedule. I can handle the usual daily care needs, including meals, walks, litter boxes, basic medication if needed, house upkeep, and regular updates so owners know everything is going smoothly. When I stay in someone’s home I’m mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s space. I take time to understand each pet’s personality/routine/boundaries so they feel safe instead of overwhelmed while their owner is away. I’m respectful and clean in other people’s homes, and I make sure everything is just as clean as when I arrived or better! (:

About: Hi, I'm Victoria! I’ve had an amazing experience caring for pets. Making sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, cared for, and accompanied is what I prioritize. Maintaining their routines, cleanliness, hygiene, and overall well-being is a part of that as well. Pets mostly tend to warm up to me very naturally, bonding and connecting with them is something I value when I am on a sit. I’m also sensitive to what makes your pets feel comfortable, secure, relaxed, and emotionally safe while respecting their individual personalities, boundaries, and needs, having a balanced day filled with playtime/exercise, downtime, snuggles, and cuddles! I share regular updates with photos and videos on a daily basis. For longer sits, I usually share an accessable link, so you have all updates, pics, and videos in one place instead of scattered throughout long message threads. Whether you’re traveling, stepping out of town, or simply need extra support, I’d love to help care for your sweet pet(s)! ♡ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s care throughout the day and week. I’m able to adapt to your cat’s routine while making sure they receive meals, attention, playtime, affection, and quality companionship throughout the day so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every home with care, cleanliness, and respect. I maintain calm and safe spaces, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and pay close attention to each cat’s personality, boundaries, routines, and comfort levels so they feel as secure and relaxed as possible.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. As I child, every birthday and Christmas wish was always the same: a dog or a cat of my own. Since that wasn't possible at the time, I spent my childhood caring for and rescuing animals whenever I could --including dogs, cats, swans, pigeons, porcupines, wolf, piglets and many others in need of help. Animals have always been a huge source of inspiration, peace, comfort and joy in my life. I grew up drawing dogs, writing children's stories about animals, and naturally connecting with them wherever I went. And somehow, that feeling has always seemed mutual. Dogs and cats often approach and choose me even in a crowd, and if you ever meet me on the street, don't be surprise, I'll say hello to your pet, before I say hello to you. Pet care naturally fits very well into my daily routine because I use to work on my schedule and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, loving environment around them. I also hold a Canine and Feline CPR and First Aid certification, which allows me to care for pets with extra attention, responsibility, and preparedness. My work flexibility allows me to dedicate real attention, affection, playtime, walks, and supervision throughout the day, not just quickly check-ins. I've always had a deep love and respect for animals of all of kinds: dogs, cats, fish and even parrots! I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, energy, and emotional needs, so they can feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable while their owners are away. And YES, if they need to sleep/rest very close to a human, I will be very happy to be that human! Whether it's a walk, daycare, boarding, or drop-in visit, I will do always with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets and following complex medication or care routines with great attention and responsibility. I'm also fully comfortable working in video-monitored environments for additional peace of mind and transparency. I understand how important communication and trust are, especially with this beautiful souls, so I'm always happy to provide regular updates, video and photos, throughout the experience. I live in a comfortable apartment with my husband and no kids around or other pet, with a shaded balcony that has been fully pet-proofed for safety. My furry friends are welcome to choose whether they’d like to spend some time outdoors or simply relax inside, always in a safe and supervised environment. The area where I live is very quiet and dog friendly, with little traffic and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Just a short walk away, there are two wonderful areas for daily walks and outdoor time: a beautiful waterfront path where pets can enjoy fresh ocean air and peaceful sunset walks, as well as a fully equipped dog park with separate areas based on dog size -perfect for safe play, exercise, and maintaining healthy socialization. I always strive to create a calm, clean, loving and emotionally safe environment where pets can fell relaxed, comfortable, and cared for while away from their owners.

About: I absolutely love taking care of pets! It’s so much fun to have the company and going on walks and being outside is so much for me! I work remotely so I’m always able to take the pets for a walk! I also love going on walks to the beach and parks and being active. I always make sure me and the owner are on the same page thwarting anything needed to be done or anything to know when caring for pets.

About: Hi! I have 10 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs! I currently do not have any pets but love having them over. Not only do I have plenty experience, but I am also insured in the event of an accident! Please don’t hesitate to contact me 💖 I work from home as an administrative assistant so my schedule is very open and I am able to give really good care and attention to your pet if they are staying at my place. In addition to this I can also work traveling to your lovely animal into my schedule with no problems! While I live in an apartment building there is a fenced off area for pets to use the bathroom and play and it is even separated by the size of dogs so that they can safely play and roam. Pets are allowed on my furniture and I take care of them as if they were my own.

About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of dogs. I’ve been pulled on the leash by a high energy, chocolate lab, and taken a day nap on the couch with a frenchie. Before my yorkie passed at age 15, I would change her diaper and give medication. Whatever your dog needs, I can provide! I have my cat baby, Remy, at home. He was a rescue from the shelter and is an only child. Cats are fiercely independent and have strong personalities. I know what’s it’s like to have a cat fall asleep on my chest, but also nip at me when giving a nail trim. Whether you just need someone to clean the litter or some company for your cats, I can do it all! I understand each pet has their own routine and I can follow it precisely. Let’s makes sure they’re well taken care of when you’re gone. I give great communication and pictures, so you’re never worrying. I know the heartbreak of leaving your pet behind, it’s never easy. Let me help relieve you of that burden. Currently I am working part-time in the evenings. Typically it is just 3 to four nights a week. Mornings are completely open and early afternoon. I can do late night after my shift as well, so your pet won’t be alone more than 8 hours. I understand the worries with having a stranger come into your home. Please know I treat the space with respect, you will never know I was even there! My priority is care for your pet.

Natalia is a compassionate and attentive dog sitter who provided exceptional care for my 2-year-old Alaskan Klee Kai. My pup has separation anxiety which means it's hard to leave her at home alone. Natalia's warm and gentle nature put her at ease right away. I first booked a drop-in visit a few days prior to meet and greet before the longer stay. Natalia's thoughtful questions and attention to preparation details gave me confidence in her ability to provide top-notch care. From the moment we met I knew this is the sweetest person on earth. She's so caring and her engaging energy drew my pup right to her to feel safe and friends. During her 6+ hour stay the evening of my events, Natalia kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, and even took pup on a fun-filled walk and patiently extended her play sessions. It's clear Natalia is a true animal lover with a kind heart. I felt like I was leaving my fur-daughter with a friend, not a stranger. Highly recommend Natalia!

Morgan was nothing short of AMAZING! She stayed over for a week while we were away and not only did she take wonderful care of our fluff, but the space was super clean after she left! Our Aussie is wonderful but she isn't good with other dogs - Morgan had no problem keeping her separated from my mom's dogs while making sure to keep to her regular schedule! Long walks, plenty of play time in the backyard, and cuddles in bed were a regular part of their week together! I wouldn't hesitate to have Morgan take care of our little girl again :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Miami Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Miami Beach is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $111 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 October 2026, there are 4,100 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Miami Beach. 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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach 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 , 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 .

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 .

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.
