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: New to Rover but NOT new to Pet Sitting!!... ...You can "Bet on Yvette" with Overnight Pet Sitting Experience consistently in the last three years along the South Florida Coast. Thank you for your consideration and I am happy to take your place as a physical placeholder in your home to give you peace of mind while you are away.

From rescue dogs to senior dogs, I'm your girl. I have at least 10 loyal clients (pet parent families) that have turn into extended family to me and who gives me the first right of refusal for bookings when they go away on vacation or work trips -- I am so grateful for ALL of them and feel honored they've trusted me I have experience with unique and difficult cases, such as tending to sick pets, senior pets with limited mobility & pets requiring medication administration i.e. eye drops, pills, etc. I also have no problems with changing diapers for senior dogs who use them. I stand at 5’11” so walking larger dogs is not a problem for me and I enjoy even cooking healthy meals for them if need be. I work 100% remotely and have NO children of my own - I would very much like to be of service and exercise my compassionate, caring and nurturing side of my personality. I lived in NYC for over 20 years and now live an intentional nomadic lifestyle focused on my health and wellbeing. I enjoy learning the different personalities of the pets I sit for and learning their behavior so, I am very in tune with making sure they are happy, adored, cuddled and loved upon. I am known for leaving your home better than it was left so you can leave it to me you will return to a clean home.

About: I have been watching friends and family members cats and dogs while they travel for the past few years. I have flexibility with my job and would love to care for some animals. I work a 9-5 job at home which allows me flexibility during the days and my location of working. I am generally home on weekends unless traveling. I like to spend time with animals, if they prefer this! I am able to care for them and show them love in whatever way they need.

“Our flight was canceled so our cats needed extended care. Sophia was more than accommodating and agreed to stay with them until we got home. I cannot express my gratitude enough and the weight of not having to worry about my babies due to this unforeseen circumstance lifted. Sophia was reliable on providing frequent updates so it made me feel that are babies were safe and well taken cared of.”

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.

“Hannah was so great! We were gone for 10 days for a Europe trip and it was the first time leaving our 2 huskies alone outside of boarding for this amount of time so we were super anxious about it. But Hannah was great at being communicative with us, sending pictures, and following our care instructions. After a couple days of us being gone our anxiousness completely went away & we were able to fully enjoy our trip. Our dogs are a little spoiled & needy, so we really appreciated her being so flexible & attentive to them.”

“Ahnisha (Lola) came to my Brickell home the same day I reached out and I explained all of my anxieties about dog sitting in my home while I was away for a business trip. I have two needy senior dogs and one cat. Throughout the week I was away, she was very pleasant, thoughtful, caring, mature and most importantly, trustworthy. She followed instructions, gave meds & kept me updated with everything! I appreciate how respectful she was to my home (going above & beyond, cleaning) and my pets. It takes a lot to put your trust into a person caring for your animals when you love them so much, I’m so thankful to have Lola now and we will be using her again. One more thing, she literally cuddled them during the thunderstorm!🥹”

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and small rodents, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine. As a devoted dog owner myself (Rocky runs my household), I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I provide attentive, dependable care with clear communication and a calm presence — so your pets feel safe and you feel at ease. With a flexible part-time schedule, I’m able to dedicate quality time to walking, playing, and maintaining your pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding seven days a week during February and March, accepting a maximum of four small animals to ensure a safe, low-stress environment. In addition, I provide reliable pet and house sitting services for owners who prefer in-home care. My home is located in a secure apartment community with a gated courtyard that provides a safe, enclosed area for supervised play. We’re also a short 15-minute walk from the beach, offering plenty of opportunity for structured walks and enrichment outings. I prioritize safety, routine, and positive experiences in every environment.

“Ahliah was fantastic with my dog. He is an energetic, senior rescue dog who "failed" boarding. So, I was nervous to leave him for 2 weeks and tried to find someone on Rover. Ahliah came over for 2 meet and greets to get him comfortable before I left on the trip. She did a wonderful job caring for him and also fed my fish and watered my plants. She was respectful and responsive throughout. My dog has been sleeping next to Ahliah's desk since I came back. He clearly enjoyed her company as much as I appreciated having her there! I will certainly hire her again and recommend her highly.”

Caroline was fantastic! It was our first time using Rover and we were far away from home in Miami. I was very nervous to leave my clingy 10-month old puppy with a stranger. Caroline set my mind at ease throughout the entire process. She answered my inquiry within minutes and helped me through each step along the way. She even picked up and dropped off our pup at our hotel and sent me pictures throughout the evening to reassure me he was happy and OK. Everything went great! I could not recommend Caroline more highly! Thank you Caroline!!!

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 $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $101 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 4,053 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 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 Beach. 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.
