About: I have had dogs around my whole life and I have a lot of experience with all different ages, breeds, and sizes. From puppies to seniors, I've been around it all! One thing is always the same though. Your dog, no matter what shape or size, will always live healthier and happier with lots of exercise! I know life gets a little hectic with working and school and kids and you don't always have time to get out with your furry friends. That's what I am here for! I just want to help them get the best out of life. I work from home part time so I am able to be around your dogs and monitor them 24/7. I currently have a dog of my own and take her to the dog park or on walks daily and would be able to bring your dog along. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced yard that our dogs can run around in together. I also have dog crates if needed. I give out regularly scheduled meals and daily exercise.
“Janet was wonderful! She went above and beyond in taking care of our basset and 2 kitties. They loved her and all the extra attention she gave them. I wholeheartedly recommend Janet to take care of anyone's fur babies.”
About: Hi there! My partner and I are available for pet sitting and house sitting. Between the two of us we will keep your pet company and be able to take them out for regular exercise. I go trail running & we go biking regularly so high energy dogs will have plenty of opportunity for exercise. We are also very used to caring for senior animals and going at their pace. Administering medications are no issue for us. Matt works from home and I am studying nutrition so your pets will not be left home alone for long durations if time. Matthew works from home so he will be a constant companion. I am currently studying so I will be able to love on your pet and take them out for walks & stimulation outside of the home. We prefer to follow your pets routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m a regular trail runner and we enjoy biking so energized animals will have the opportunity for plenty of exercise. We’re also very happy for long and slow walks for the elderly. I tend to be very snuggly with all animals and will send many photos during our stay.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and many more for a combined total of 10 years! I love animals of all sorts and love to spend my quality time with them. I currently work 12-6 Most days! But am 110% able to go right before and after, and give them some more love due to being gone for a few hours!! I care deeply for any animal I take care of, their safety is my priority when they are in my care so I can make sure they come back to you safe and sound!
“Brittany was great! My dog took to her calm kindness right away! I had no trouble separating to go out. Kona (my dog) welcomed her right back again. What more can you ask for? I would definitely work with Brittany again. Thank you!”
“Autumn did an AMAZING job watching our baby, Sven. It was our first time leaving him so we were a little worried. She was so great with him and the house and took excellent care of both. She kept us updated and sent a lot of photos. Sven had a great time with her. We will 100 percent use her again! Highly recommend!!!”
“Erin is amazing!!! Not only is she punctual but immediately became Baileys best friend. She understands pups and gives them such special attention and care. Best sitter ever!!! You can’t go wrong, we highly recommend her for your fur babies.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, ranging from a 15 pound jack russel tarrier to a 150 pound rottweiler-lab mix! Currently, I have a 9 year old dog and 20 chickens that I care for regularly. I love all types of dogs and i’m excited to expand my journey in pet care :). Currently, I have no job, nor do I have one lined up for the upcoming months so I have more than enough time to spend caring for your pet! The safety and security of your pet is my number one priority. Communication is something that I find very important to achieve this. Not only do I want to make it the best experience for your dog, but I also want to make it the best experience for you!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8. My family has always had a few dogs. I groomed, walked, played with them, and help take care of them. I love dogs and have experience with numerous breeds. I love both small and big dogs. I’m currently not working so have plenty of time to watch your dogs or animals. I can do any day just about any time you need. I walk dogs on a leash and can kennel a dog if needed. I can watch a dog while outside and give medicine if needed.
“I feel like we hit the jackpot with Olivia! Her communication was fantastic and we received photos and updates from her the entire time we were away. Our home was immaculate, like she was never here! But most of all, we knew our pets were cared for and loved by her while we were gone and that is priceless!”
“Tara did a fabulous job house and puppy sitting for me. She gave daily updates including photos, videos and messages about my 3 dogs. When I returned my house was spotless!! I was very impressed with the care she provided and have already booked her for my next trip.”
About: I've spent my entire life living with and caring for both dogs and cats. While I have more hands-on experience with cats, I'm also comfortable caring for dogs and meeting their daily needs, as long as they don't require specialized medical or behavioral care. I have experience caring for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. Over the years, I've administered saline injections to cats, given oral medications, and mixed medications into food when necessary. As I am currently attending school, I dedicate part of each day to my studies. Outside of my schoolwork, I have a flexible schedule. My availability may occasionally be affected by holidays or special occasions, but I am always happy to work with clients to find a suitable arrangement whenever possible. I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. Your home will be kept clean, tidy, and just as you left it. In the unlikely event of a simple accident, such as a spill, it will be cleaned up promptly and with care.
About: Experience with feeding, bathing, and cleaning dogs/cats, dog walking and pet/house sitting experience, contributed to training a service dog, and walking puppies. I also have experience with rodents/other animals. I am currently working full-time during the week, but am available on weekends (Fri-Sun) and during Oregon Spring Break for full-time pet sitting or drop-ins. I am very clean and considerate and will make your pet my first priority. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible, especially if you are gone. I will stay attentive to their individual needs.
About: I grew up with family pets and my husband and I lost our beloved lab at the age of 13, about 2 years ago. I have additional experience with visually impaired dogs and senior dogs. I think this is a great way to fill my heart and help others. I work at a local hospital but am available before and after work for walks and checking in. I am off on the weekends and very flexible. I am able to follow any instructions and requests you may have to keep your pet happy and safe. I know firsthand how important trust is. These are our babies!
“Karen is amazing with our pups! We could tell our dogs were very happy and well taken care of by Karen while we were gone. She also took care of our house and watched our pups at home so that they could be in their regular environment. We are glad we were able to find her after we moved to the coast!”
“Jeanne was wonderful with my dog Zoë, who is going blind. Although Zoë's been a bit more anxious with new people as her eyes deteriorate, she was open to Jeanne from the first moment they met and seems to have bonded deeply with her over the days I was gone. Jeanne was calm, extremely responsible, and loving; she didn't hesitate to take on the challenge of administering eyedrops and finding ways to elicit Zoë's love and trust. Thank you so much, Jeanne!!”
“Holly was awesome with my dog. She watched her for 3 nights. Was very communicative and asked me questions when unsure. Sent me lots of pics of my baby which means a lot. Also my dog can be particular about who she trusts but I can tell they got along great and she was well cared for. Thanks Holly !”

Leah was amazing when she watched or cat and dog in our home. She did great with our senior Kitty who requires oral medication every day. Even more impressive she demonstrated amazing patience with our recent rescue who is still figuring out his manners and his place in the world. Thank you so much for giving us the peace of mind to leave on a relaxing vacation with family across the country! Not to mention she took care of the plants and left the house as clean as we left! Thank you Leah, we wouldn't hesitate to book with you again! 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - South Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Beach on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 241 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Beach. 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 South Beach 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 South Beach 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 South Beach 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 South Beach. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
