“Nicole was the best with my baby Enzo! The whole time I felt completely at ease because she cared for him just as well as I would. I really appreciate how punctual she was, both for our meet and greet and on the day of the booking, which allowed me to leave home and catch my flight without any issues. She shared photos with me the entire time and was super transparent about her schedule, letting me know when she was with him or away from the house. She was very attentive to his routine and followed all the care instructions we gave her. She played with him, made sure he rested, and spoiled my little one. She went above and beyond our expectations, and Enzo loved her!”
“5 starts just isn’t enough. Scott was our first experience having our dogs house sit & first time leaving our pup, it was challenging passing him down to Scott, but he made it all possible, was flexible, helpful and surpassed all our expectations and MORE. Hands down, BEST doggie sitter out there & super loving with the pups. 10?”

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, from helping in a vet clinic and working at a dog daycare to caring for my own pets over the years. I’m very patient with animals, attentive to their behavior, and I always try to follow each pet’s routine closely because I know that’s what helps them feel calm, safe, and happy while you’re away. I work remotely during the week (8am–5pm), so I’m available for reliable evening visits on weekdays. On weekends, I’m more flexible and available throughout the day. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone during typical work hours and do best with a consistent routine. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow instructions closely and prioritize clear communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🪴💚

“Dayelin is exceptional. She took excellent care of my babies and showered them with affection. She dedicated time to them and always sent us photos. We are very grateful for her care and will definitely be back. From the first day, we had complete confidence in her. She is very professional and responsible. We highly recommend her.”

“Laura was amazing! Very professional and warm from the very beginning. Also very attentive and communicative throughout the process So grateful that we get to have her watch her animals. Looking forward to the next sit. 😊”
“David did AMAZING with Adora. He actually listened to my concerns and followed all the instructions for caring for a foster animal. He was extremely patient with her and walked her multiple times throughout the house, sitting (which I appreciated the most). Adora really needs as many walks as possible! Lastly, he happily obliged a last-minute request to stay overnight (during a holiday weekend, mind you) and did so seamlessly, without any miscommunication or issues. I HIGHLY recommend David, he is incredible!”

About: Hi, My name is Michael M. I just moved backed home to Miami. Since my first memories we have always owned dogs. My mom had a habit of picking up stray dogs. Her heart always broke when she saw a furry defenseless dog begging for food or needing shelter. My mom's big heart exposed me to many types of dogs all different sizes and temperament. I have been dog sitting for a while now and it's one of my favorite things to do. I am a realtor and I am able to work from home during the day while clients are working and when I am away it's for only a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard. Like I said my dog loves social interaction with other friendly doggies and would love to find friends he could play with. I am a real estate agent with my office at home. I will be able to watch over them while they play.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, bunnies since I was 12. I love all animals and I have experience with many different animals. I also worked in a pet shop with birds, reptiles, dogs and cats for 2 years. I’m currently part time, but I have a really flexible schedule. Can work any day morning, afternoon or night. Any time to take care and play with the baby’s. I have a big fenced wall with a really friendly dog to play with. I also have a big home and I’m not picky about them being on the couch…
“Abby was an absolute dream to work with and provided care for my kiddos that was above and beyond. I was able to fully relax knowing that my animals, one of which is partially blind and fully diabetic, were so well taken care of. My space was also left immaculate and I was so appreciative.”
About: Get to know me: My name is Yuliet, I have loved animals my entire life. I am a volunteer and foster at the miami dade animal shelter. I go every weekend to the shelter to volunteer and help in whatever way i can. I foster pets who are urgent and need to be saved. I live in a house with a fully high fenced yard. To me animals are a priority, as they say, there is no better best friend than a dog. When your dog stays with me: Well, your dog will be sleeping anywhere in the house. If you would prefer him to sleep in a crate, please provide me with one. I will be walking your pet three times a day; morning, afternoon, and night. If you give me permission to take him/her to the dog park, i will be more than glad to do so. I am home all day long, so your pet will never be home unsupervised. I will also make sure to follow his or her feeding instructions and if you have a walking schedule i will also make sure to follow it. I will also be providing you with pictures and messages every day multiple times to update you on your pet. My services: I provide all services: Dog boarding Drop in visits Doggy day care Dog walking What type of animals will I accept? I do understand that dogs are not the only pets one may own. That’s why I am willing to accept any other pet as well. If you own any other type of pet, please feel free to contact me for any questions. Your pet will always be our guest! I am available for boarding any day! I have a very flexible schedule, for any questions please message me and i will reply as soon as i can! I live in a house with a fenced yard. All pets will be sleeping inside at all times, and will be outside only to play and for potty breaks as well.

I also keep doggy cameras to keep an eye on the pups while im away Your pet will free roam around the house at all times as long as they are house trained.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Miami Lakes
Chris was an awesome puppy sitter !! He came to our house to watch our dog while we left for the day. He is super sweet and loves dogs, and our puppy loves him. He also literally trained our puppy how to lay down in just one visit !! When i came home i tried it and she knew the command. He sent us the cutest photos of our pup and continued strong communication / updates while we were gone!!
Janine was amazing!! She took such great care of our dog, Romeo. She kept us updated throughout her stay with texts and pictures. Our dog had gotten a little sick and Janine made sure to let us know, and went the extra mile to do the necessary tasks to make sure he got better. The cherry on top was her leaving cute little Polaroids of Romeo to come home to. Highly recommend Janine and will 100% be booking her again!!❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Miami Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Miami Lakes on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,048 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Miami Lakes. 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 Lakes 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 Lakes 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 Lakes 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Miami Lakes. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
