About: I have been around pets for as long as I can remember. I have two labradors, one 14 year old and one 4 year old, so I have experience with puppy’s and elderly dogs! I have always been in charge of taking the dogs on walks, and I have been covering for my sisters Rover dog walks when needed :) As of now I am unemployed for the summer, so I have a lot of availability! I am going on a couple short trips this summer, and will be going to the University of Miami in August, but other than that I am very available! I lived in a suburb until moving to Boston this month, so I am familiar with both yard and city environments. We used a crate until my dog was about 2, I like to keep them leashed and close to me, and I always keep their waters full!
“Dora was great in every way. She showed up on time, and I felt comfortable knowing she was going to take care of lady while I went to dinner. We were visiting from out of town and found her with all five star reviews and I can see why. Attentive and so sweet. Would recommend Dora for sure!!”
“Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.”
“We heavily rely on Sam’s support afforded to Athena, which has ranged from walks to/from dog care and house siting in our place. Sam is a pleasant detail oriented, exceptional communicator that our dog enjoys hanging out.”
“Pia was PHENOMENAL! I have never left my cat for a vacation before so I was nervous. Pia was so sweet and reassuring. She took such good care of my cat who LOVED her. Which means a lot because my cat is not super friendly with people. I will book with Pia every time. ❤️”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats since I was little. I am a certified dog trainer at school, helping puppies at their beginning training stage! I cut my cat’s nails! I’m currently a full-time college student living off-campus. I have class every day but do have time to go back during breaks if needed. I also work on campus. I wake up fairly early and go to bed late. When dog sitting, I make sure the home is clean, confirm the dog(s)/cat(s) are eating, drinking water, and doing their business. If necessary, I know how to crate an animal and am comfortable with older pets as well.
“Katherine did a wonderful job looking after my dog, Perla!! She followed all of the instructions and followed up with cute pictures and observations from her visits. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Shawn and his kids provided amazing care for our dog Rosie while we were out of town. We would definitely definitely trust them to take care of Rosie again. Great communication and you could tell they love animals.”
About: Have you ever met a girl who had every dog breed, behavior, and product memorized by heart? Well, now you have! Hi! My name is Ariana and at 8 years old, I was that girl! I have been seeking dog walking jobs since I was 5 but my dog obsession started as soon as I laid eyes on the perfect maltese puppy my uncle had. From taking care of my uncle’s dog to begging my neighbor to let me walk their huskies with my babysitter and giving up TV for a year to earn my own dog, a day has not passed where I didn’t reminisce on my love for dogs and all animals. Since I could ride my bike I would trek all across my small town to walk and care for animals all of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Typically, I would care for dogs, but have cared for cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, chickens and more! Being and working on multiple farms from age 6 has taught be to remain calm and keep my head when things don’t go as planned and to get right back up when you fall down and try again. Furthermore, I trained my own Cavapoo, Kiki, into an extremely attentive and smart dog - she goes everywhere off leash and even closes our door on command! I am currently in college and I’m going off of my class schedules alongside the amount of work that I get. I do not have many classes in a single day so working around my schedule should not be extremely difficult. Overall, I am extremely respectful and neat and only access the parts of your house in which I need to go. For dog walking and animal care, I leave every dog, making sure that they have a full bowl of water and that they are in the area designated for them. I make sure to lock and close every door requested and leave everything exactly where I found it. If there is any mess around the bowls or litter boxes I make sure to clean it up and refill everything as needed and/or requested. if there have been any accidents around the house, I make sure to notify every owner and clean up and disinfect the area. If the owners have requested that I give the pet treats or any extra medication I do as requested and make sure to follow up with a check in.
“Ada did an amazing job taking care of our cat Link! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous, but she offered to meet us beforehand for a meet and greet with Link and we could immediately tell she was very dependable and caring. She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates at each visit which made us feel at ease while we were away. She even noticed that his food was running low and let us know so we could have more ordered, and she came back the next day (even though it was not officially on the scheduled request) to make sure his food bowl got filled in time. Truly a life saver and definitely recommend!”
“Yumeng is so great with my dogs, she goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. My dogs have alot of energy and make alot of mess, but she handles them very very well, would definitley reccomend her services! :)”
“Maria is truly a blessing. Leaving your cat behind is never easy, but with her, you feel complete peace of mind. She is incredibly trustworthy and responsible. She didn’t just “check in” - she cared for our cat with so much attention and kept us updated, made sure everything was clean and comfortable, and treated our baby like her own. When we came home, our cat was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for which says everything. We are so grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. I would trust Maria again in a heartbeat.”
About: I grew up with a mom who is a veterinarian, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including walking them, feeding, playing, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm a current student at the University of Miami, and I am available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Wednesday mornings, to walk/play/feed your pups! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including leash requirements, feeding schedules, and any specific routines your dog is used to. I’m attentive, responsible, and make sure pets are supervised and secure at all times while in my care.
“Jaen was responsible and took great care of my kitties, especially the one who needed daily medication at a specific time. She was punctual and provided excellent reports and pictures. I am very pleased with her services. I will definitely book her again. Thank you Jaen for your care, pictures and follow through.”

Pia was absolutely wonderful with my cats! They’re normally very shy and took to her so quickly, which made me feel so comfortable while I was away. She sent regular updates and adorable pictures of my babies, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Pia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur babies! 🐾❤️
Rebeca was incredible! She took great care of our cat and sent us pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. She was very attentive to our cat’s needs, proactive, and incredibly helpful. When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, she went to our place for an extra day to make sure our cat was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. We highly recommend Rebeca and will definitely book her again!
Morgan was fantastic! She was on time every single day and sent us pictures of Luna throughout each visit, which we really appreciated. She was so sweet and gentle with Luna, and it showed — Luna was completely comfortable and relaxed with her the whole time. We’d absolutely book Morgan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter.

Katherine is an incredible caregiver. She treated Tamago as if she were her own. Her patience paid off, and after a few days, Tamago emerged from her shell and began to play and cuddle with her. Katherine also followed the instructions meticulously and kept me updated daily with detailed descriptions of Tamago’s progress. I would highly recommend her for Tamago’s care in the future!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Miami on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,604 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Miami. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Miami. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
