“Audrey did a great job caring for our Great Dane for almost two weeks while we were away (stayed in our home w/the dog). Routinely updated and sent photos; didn’t hesitate to ask questions or request clarifications on food/activities/routine; and, probably the best feedback anyone could want, our neighbors asked for her contact info so they could hire her, too. Will book again and highly recommend.”
About: I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and lots of supervision. In a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all care instructions exactly while keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, or companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I make sure every pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve while keeping their routine as consistent as possible.

“After some nightmare experiences with other sitters, Juliana was a god send. She was patient with my hyper puppy, but more than that she was reliable. Super communicative. Sent lots of updates and videos. And my pup loved her! Thank you so much Juliana!”
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.
“Denys was great with baloo I was able to see at times they got along well and he had plenty of good walks, I came back from vacation and baloo looks in great condition and also well fed...denys followed our instructions well and was very respectful of the house environment ,I highly recommend denys to anyone who wants excellent care of their pets...again thank you Denys and rover for this great experience!”
“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!”
“Emily was amazing! She communicated really well throughout the entire stay and treated my pups with so much love and care. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We’re already using her again, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“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.”
“Andreina & Mercedes were absolutely great and provided 5 star service. Great communication with detailed updates and pictures throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve always been a helping hand when it comes to caring for pets, and family and friends have trusted me to watch their dogs whenever they needed someone reliable. I’m dependable, communicative, and adapt well to different pets and environments even snakes! Joining Rover felt like the perfect opportunity to provide that same level of care to pet owners outside of my own circle. I’m currently working part-time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available for pet sitting and boarding on weekends, as well as weekdays before 4 p.m. My schedule may adjust once school starts, but I’ll always make sure to communicate my availability clearly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines and any instructions they provide. I make sure pets are fed, have access to water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and are taken outside or given opportunities to use the restroom as needed. I’m very attentive to their needs and will communicate with the owner if anything seems unusual or if they need anything extra.
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs since a young age and I have also watched my friend’s cats and dogs several times. I have a protective dog and have watched very high energy dogs so I understand each pet is different and that means they will have different needs. I love being around any and all animals! I’m currently in college so I will be available between classes and my part time job! I typically have free time each day, even if I do have classes or work. I can hang out with your pets for as long as you need and if there are any special instructions, I would be happy to follow them!
About: I am apart from everyone else because I'm passionate about people and who they love. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands because I am a caring/firm person that treat animals with respect. I have watched children for 21 years. I have watched adults and babies! I'm an ex-firefighter and I am all about life safety. I'm super cautious and very protective. So therefore, you and your pet are in excellent hands. I currently work part-time so I am available for weekend sitting. I am energetic and can mix my days up if need be. So im available for you and your fur baby. I care for them by taking them for long walks/play time at dog parks. Then they get fed and walked again before bed and or placement in crate.
“Nicole was wonderful! So easy to work with and our pups loved her!! She left our home in perfect condition and sent daily updates while we were out of town. Will definitely be using her again when we need help with our pups.”
About: I've taken care of cat and dog for 3 year and used to volunteer in an animal shelter and wildlife refuge. In addition I will look after your pet like they are my own and do my best to accommodate their and your needs. I'm available anytime, except for an emergency situation. I will update my schedule to reflect the time I'm available and not available. Please contact me For overnight sitting I can do 24 hr sitting if needed, please note, your pet must be okay to be left alone for up to 4-6 hours or a custome time that work for you, while I attend other personal matters. I consider myself caring. Safety and health are my top priority. I prefer to have meet and greets before booking to ensure that we are a good fit. Please let me know if you are expecting any visitors or maintenance work, etc... while I'm scheduled to be at your house.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Opa-locka
Emily was amazing! She communicated really well throughout the entire stay and treated my pups with so much love and care. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We’re already using her again, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
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!!❤️
Amber did an amazing job taking care of our boys for our 2 weeks trip, first time we use a sitter for that long of a period but we didn’t have any concerns while we were overseas, she was very responsive even with a crazy 13 hours time zone difference. Will definitely keep booking Amber for our upcoming trips if she’s available.
Joalys was wonderful and communicated really well during the entire stay. This was my first time using the service to house sit and thankfully it worked out to be a great experience thanks to her. I highly recommend her services as she communicates really well and is great with animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Opa-locka on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,189 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Opa-locka. 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 Opa-locka 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 Opa-locka 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 Opa-locka 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.
