“Elisha was the best! She watched my puppers really last minute and definitely saved the day for me! She went above and beyond and I’ll definitely be calling her again. Thanks again Elisha!”
“Anthony goes above and beyond every single time. He’s always on point with Jayda’s medications and therapies, helps her move around comfortably, and treats her with such care and patience. She’s always happy and responsive with him, which says it all. His communication is excellent—daily updates, lots of photos, and complete peace of mind while I’m away. I also came home to a clean, tidy house, which I really appreciate. It’s such a relief knowing Jayda and my home are both in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“This is so long overdue but I couldn't go without leaving a review. Audrey was a fantastic Dog Sitter and I couldn't be more grateful for how she took care of Max. Quick to respond, clear communication, pictures, video and updates. I never once had to question how Max was doing while I was away. She also came to stay at the house. She left my house in the state she found it, stripped her bed before leaving and even asked if I had any other requests before she left. I will definitely be using Audrey again and truly appreciate her, and Rover, for making my time away as comfortable as possible for Max.”
“Jackie is such a pleasant person and an excellent care taker for our Megan and Saber and our home. We are blessed to have her in our lives. We cannot wait to have her back! Highly recommended.”
“Nick was fantastic and took great care of our dog and our place. Very communicative - lots of great photos! And flexible when our flight was cancelled and we had to return one day later than planned. We would absolutely work with him again.”
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.
“Michelle was an excellent sitter — 10/10! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, regularly sending updates and adorable photos of our dog, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was patient and attentive to our dog’s unique needs, giving him both the space and affection he required to feel comfortable. On top of that, she took great care of our home — everything was exactly as we left it. We feel so lucky to have found her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“I cannot recommend Alyiah highly enough—she is absolutely amazing! She has been caring for my two dogs for years, and the love she has for them is truly special. She treats my pups like her own—honestly, like they’re her children—and it shows in every single thing she does. What really sets Alyiah apart is how incredible she is when one of my dogs isn’t feeling well. She goes above and beyond, making sure they’re comfortable, giving medications carefully and reliably, and providing so much extra attention and care. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her hands. Her updates and photos are thoughtful and reassuring, and you can just feel how much she genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional, Alyiah is the BEST. Five stars isn’t enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“This is our second time having Armando pet sit for us, he’s great, very receptive to feedback, and our dog Fletcher loves him! Armando sends us photo updates, and checks in throughout the stay. We feel very comfortable with him in our home and have already recommended him to our neighbors as well! Will definitely be using him in the future. Thank you Armando!”
“Alejandra was great! She is responsible, professional and kept communication with text, pictures and videos throughout the day, and our Harley was happy. This was our first time leaving our big pup Harley with a sitter, and were nervous being away for 5 days. However, we now know that we can have someone reliable that we can count on to house sit Harley next time we need to leave her behind. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
“Leo helped me out when I was in a jam. He agreed to take care of my dog and cat on very short notice and did a great job with them, keeping me informed multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“Rosanna was nice responsible and easy to communicate with. She stayed in contact through the whole process and sent me updates and pictures. She also put up with my pups medical needs without problem. They looked unphased and relaxed when I came back.”
“Luciana took great care of our dogs and home while we were traveling. She was super responsive via text, and kept us updated with photos. Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Macenna. She took such warm, attentive care of my dog—it was clear from the start that my pup felt comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, my home was left spotless and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from larger breeds like Rottweilers and Mastiffs to smaller dogs like Chihuahuas, so I’m very comfortable handling different sizes and personalities. My love for animals has always been a big part of who I am I truly believe dogs are a human’s best friend and deserve genuine care, patience, and attention. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentleness they may need, which is something I truly enjoy. I’ve adopted several older dogs from shelters, so I’m very familiar with the level of care, consistency, and compassion it takes to make them feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent time throughout the day for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, or evening care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in any environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routine and follow directed protocol, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care needs, so the pet feels secure and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision while keeping their space clean and safe.
“Andrea is absolutely amazing! My cat, Archie connected with her right away and seemed completely comfortable the whole time. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and took care of everything I asked for. She treated my apt with respect, left everything clean and tidy when she left and went above and beyond to make sure Archie was happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner for years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pet. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, including senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, giving lots of love and attention, and adjusting to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pup is in loving, reliable hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with both dogs and cats. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule so they can feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure dogs are safely leashed and secure before walks, and I’m attentive to their surroundings while we’re outside. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and will always keep them updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Miami Shores
Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful taking care of our boy! She accepted our last minute booking without hesitation and even made time for a last minute meet and greet, which we really appreciated. Throughout her stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we got home, our place was clean and organized and we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again for our next trip!
We have used Elisha several times now, and she has really come in clutch when something last minute pops up. She takes very good care of our girls and we feel extremely comfortable leaving them in her care, and in our home. She continuously keeps us updated with texts and pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets!!
Blas was super helpful in taking care of my dog post op. He had recently had surgery on his hip. I couldn’t leave him alone without him opening up the stitching . Vlad was very gentle with Ari and took great care of him while I was away. I would totally recommend Blas even if your pet is perfectly healthy. Thank you!
Frederick stayed at our house to watch my senior Doberman over the Fourth of July weekend. My dog has mobility issues, anxiety, needs frequent potty breaks, and requires a lot of hands-on care. The love, patience, and affection Frederick showed him went far beyond our expectations and anything we've experienced with previous pet sitters. Frederick was always quick to respond, very respectful, and followed all of our instructions carefully, including giving multiple medications. He also took great care of our home and left everything clean and tidy. I honestly can't recommend Frederick enough. Knowing my dog was so well cared for gave us so much peace of mind, and I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay with him again.
We could not be more grateful for Tara and her AMAZING care of our 2 dogs Luca and Bonnie. They can be a handful and she was an absolute PRO with them! She kept them thoroughly entertained with lots of games of fetch and exploring around our neighborhood. We also got the BEST and most thorough updates 3 times a day with tons of cute pictures and videos. Cannot say enough about how amazing she is. Her communication is a 10/10 and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help taking such great care of our pups! Have already recommended her to many of our friends, would highly suggest you book her for any of your pet needs!!!

I highly recommend booking Mia! She did a house stay with our cat for over a week, and we had total peace of mind because she was so communicative and sent regular detailed updates. She also spent a ton of quality time with our cat, it’s clear that she really loves animals. And she took great care of the house and left it clean. Thanks again Mia!
Halle is very sweet and clearly cares about animals. She spent a lot of time with Indie and Zorro, walked Indie daily, and they were safe and loved while I was away. That said, as a newer sitter, there were a few misses with following household instructions — particularly around my senior cat’s strict urinary diet/treat limits and maintaining the no-sofa rule for my dog (who is a semi-recent rescue that can be stubborn at times). Communication was also lighter than I prefer, and I would have appreciated more proactive daily updates and supply check-ins. Overall, she has a kind heart and good intentions, but I’d recommend her most for lower-maintenance pets and households with simpler routines as she continues gaining experience.

FAQs for House Sitting - Miami Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Miami Shores on Rover is $62.16 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 4,155 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Miami Shores. 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores. 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.
