“I used Ashleigh for my first time using Rover, and I had THE BEST first experience! Traveling while having pets is tough. I'm such a nervous fur mom. Ashleigh made us feel at ease from the beginning to end! We recieved lots of pictures & videos, my kids & I were SO grateful for those!! We were able to relax on a 7 night trip knowing she was watching our pets in our home. Ashleigh went above and beyond. 100/10 Highly recommend !!!!”
“Absolutely the best Rover experience ever. Savannah was an absolute pleasure to work with. She communicated very well, was consistent with her updates and pictures and was so kind and courteous. My dogs looked very happy in the pictures she sent and she went above and beyond for them. I'd absolutely, 💯%, recommend her to anyone, unless it's when I need her, then you can't lol.”
“Tonia took great care of our very anxious dog, Jack. She agreed to watch him for a last-minute trip we took, and he warmed up to her right away, which is unusual for him! She was so kind and sent us many pictures and updates while we were gone. I will absolutely ask her to help us out again!”
“Adrienne took such excellent care of our two pups while we were in Europe for a week. We loved getting fun picture and activity updates along the way. She always makes it feel like the pups are getting a doggie staycation! Cannot recommend her enough!!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Shanikka! My Rico was so happy and I loved all of the updates I got during my trip. It meant so much to know he was so well loved while I was gone!”
“Jana was an incredible pet sitter for our 2 cats and 2 Pomeranians! We had a last minute death in the family and Jana was able to come with very little notice and stay in our home while we were away. We even had to extend our trip and she was able to move some things around to stay and take care of our babies for an extra 3 days. She was extremely communicative sending us photos and updates daily. We left the house in such a rush things were a little messy but she was kind enough to wipe down the counters and do the dishes which we really appreciated- she even washed her own linens from the guest room she was staying in and made the bed for us. I know that all of our animals were happy and taken care of and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job watching our two dogs in our home. She had great communication and took plenty of pics which ensured us our fur babies were well taken care of. She was polite and thoughtful! We highly recommend and would love to have her stay again!”
“Serenity had to handle quite an array of animals and personalities for us but all of them loved her… And she loved them! We have a giant dog with health issues that she handled perfectly and worked to maintain the schedule he needs. Most people are intimidated by his size, drool, and goofy personality but she snuggled right up with him and gave him lots of love. She also managed to keep our diva dog happy, which says a lot. Serenity was very communicative, attentive, and helpful the entire time. I think the dogs thought they were on their own vacation while we were gone!! We plan to use her again for the future and had a great first experience.”
“Noa was absolutely amazing!!! Her communication, fantastic!!!! Pictures of all my babies, memeable and cute!! My animals loved her even my shy senior cat came to hang out with her! My St. Bernard can be dog reactive and she handled her perfectly!”
“100% recommend Kathleen!! She treats your pet like her own. Very respectful of our home. Took our dog on a walk every night & fed our fish. It’s hard for us to take a vaca & leave our baby at home, Kathleen made the process easy.”
“Alexa house sat for our almost 16 year old dog named Elvis. We were concerned about the stress of him being boarded away from home at such an old age. She was wonderful! She came over and met Elvis and us prior to our booking her services. She kept in contact as the date came closer and sent daily pictures of our pup with status while we were away. She contacted us the day we were coming home to make sure our flight was on time and that Elvis would be ok if she left at the time we had designated. Alexa even helped get our mail and brought in some packages that were delivered while we were gone. We would definitely use Alexa again.”
“Jackson was fantastic! He did everything as I asked and followed my “rules”.. I received updates everyday. I never had to worry about my girls. When I got home, they both were very happy. I normally can tell if they have had a bad few days and they definitely did NOT with Jackson!”
About: I'm sure everyone heard of how good or how long they take care of animals , I'm not so different from other Occupant who love animals , who doesn't love animals , they are there most of the time when you need someone to be there for you , the saying is true a dog is a man best friend they never leave your side for any Convenience I'm currently pregnant with my first child ever, and I want to be very cautious about bring life into the world , so by being a sittiter/walker I'm want to make sure I can Multitask and handle what comes my way I live a apartment building with a balcony so it very closed in , they should be no problem with the safe keep of your pets
“Kitt was great with my animals, and my shy cat even immediately took to her which is quite impressive. She was clean and respectful of my space. I'll definitely book her again!”
“Very pleased with Lacey's care of our home and dogs! They loved her to pieces and she was very comfortable with them even though they are big, strong , scary-looking rescue pitties! Highly recommend!”
“Sam and Madi did an excellent job watching my 3 Boston Terriers. They were happy and content when I got home and I could tell they received lots of cuddles and play time. The house was left in the same condition I left it. I would highly recommend Sam and Madi.”

OMG, this woman is an angel on earth! Jana came to meet my pets before we left on vacation so they would know her and we could show her where everything was. She immediately got down on the floor with our dog and Molly was instantly in her lap! She sent pictures of our babies every day and updates on how they were doing! She took immaculate care of our home while we were away! I will be hiring her again any time we take a trip! You can feel safe leaving her in your home and with your beloved 4-legged babies!
We’ve never left our dogs with anyone other than family and friends. We were in a pinch and found Josh via Rover. On short notice, he came to our home for a meet and greet and we instantly felt very comfortable with him watching our dogs. Josh was prompt and very respectful of our home. He sent us pictures and videos throughout the day to reassure us that things were going well. We will definitely use Josh in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Miami
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,523 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Miami. 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 New Miami 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 New Miami 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 New Miami 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.

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.
