“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 am a technical writer, and work from home. I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a dog and have cared for many different pets over the years, including dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and quail. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I treat each one with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d want for my own. My goal is to help your pet-child feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time, and can definitely see if our schedules can work together or closely match. Always willing to meet in the middle for our furry family. I have a fenced in yard, surrounded by oak trees, avocado trees, and lush greenery. My dog loves it, and is always exploring outside safely.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, hedgehogs, and plants. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and committed to following each pet’s unique routine and care instructions. I work from home and set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and keep pets comfortable in their familiar routine. I respect the client’s home, keep food and litter areas clean, secure doors and windows, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I speak both English and Spanish! I’m originally from Patagonia, where stray dogs are a common sight. I adopted two dogs of my own and learned how to understand their needs, build trust, and train them with patience and positive reinforcement. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s boarding, house sitting, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, care, and attention I gave my own! 🐶❤️ I’m currently available, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily manage my time around pet care. I’m also a photographer, which means I can work around different schedules—and yes, I’m a pet photographer too! 😉 I have a fenced backyard with a small tree where pets can enjoy some outdoor time safely. I also have a pet net on my door, so they can go inside or outside comfortably while staying safe. I don't use to listen music. I prefer to read or work on my computer so they won't suffer loud noises. I also have a car in case a pickup or drop-off is needed. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in my home or my client’s home.

We’ve used Andrea a few times now to care for our two sweet cats, and she is absolutely wonderful! This time she stayed at our home while we were away for our wedding, and I never once had to worry about a thing. She was attentive, communicative, detail-oriented, respectful of our home, and gave our cats so much love and care. Knowing our babies were in such good hands was the biggest gift during such an important time for us. We highly recommend Andrea! ❤️

Naomi and her husband did an absolutely, positively AMAZING job taking care of my animals! I honestly couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. I’ll be completely honest — I was very nervous about having someone I found through an app come into my home and take care of my animals. It’s a big thing for me to trust someone with my pets and my personal space, so I had a lot of hesitation at first. But Naomi gave me such a sense of reassurance and comfort from the very beginning. She was so kind, understanding, communicative, and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. They went above and beyond to make sure my animals were happy, comfortable, loved, and having fun. Knowing that they were being treated with so much care while I was away gave me such peace of mind. You can genuinely tell that Naomi and her husband have a true love for animals and treat them like their own. They were respectful of my home, attentive to my animals, and made the entire experience so much easier than I ever expected. I’m honestly so grateful I decided to trust them. They completely changed my perspective on using Rover, and I would absolutely have them take care of my animals again without hesitation. If you’re someone who is nervous about letting a stranger from an app into your home or trusting someone with your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Naomi and her husband. They were wonderful from beginning to end, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my babies! ❤️🐾

Macenna did a wonderful job caring for Norman and our home. Norman has epilepsy and requires a very specific routine, including medication every eight hours, so his care involves a lot of detailed instructions and consistency. Macenna took this responsibility seriously and followed his schedule and care instructions extremely well. She is smart, responsible, trustworthy, and has a great attitude. If she ever had a question or wasn’t certain about something, she asked rather than making assumptions, which I really appreciated. She is also very receptive to feedback and communicates well—both qualities that are especially important to me when someone is caring for a pet with complex needs. I also felt completely comfortable trusting Macenna in our home. She handled both Norman’s care and the responsibilities around our house with maturity and good judgment. Having someone who listens carefully, communicates, and genuinely wants to do things correctly gave me tremendous peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely trust her to care for Norman and our home again and highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Miami

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in North Miami is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $67 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 4,265 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North 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 North 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 North 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 North 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 , 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.

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.
