About: What sets me apart is my reliable, attentive, and consistent care for pets. I focus on following each pet’s routine closely and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and understood while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. Whether it’s boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every pet with care and respect as if they were my own. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners can stay informed and feel reassured at all times. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and evening care. I always make sure pets follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, and any special instructions from their owner. My goal is to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship while you are away. I provide care from my clean, smoke-free, and pet-friendly apartment in Coconut Grove. Pets are always supervised and cared for in a calm environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions carefully to make sure each pet stays comfortable and secure during their stay. I also take dogs for walks in nearby parks such as Kennedy Park and Peacock Park when appropriate and with owner approval.
“Dora-Luz is the best!! Our two cat boos adore her. She cares so much, snuggles them, plays with them and their toys, gives them special treats and overall is just so loving. We always leave knowing they’re in the best hands!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Valerie as my cat sitter! She took care of my two cats for four days while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Valerie came to my house every day to feed them, and she ensured they were well cared for and comfortable in their own space. I returned to two happy, relaxed cats and everything in perfect order. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter!”
“She’s amazing! Kat took care of our dog and cat for 20 days while we were on our overseas vacation. She was incredibly responsible and treated our pets as if they were her own. Communication with her was super easy, and we could clearly see that our pets had an amazing time with her. I would definitely recommend Kat to anyone and will absolutely reach out to her again for future trips. Thank you, Kat! 🐾”
“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.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two cats, two dogs, and a parrot, so I truly understand how much love and attention pets need every day. From feeding, walking, and playtime to keeping them comfortable and happy, I enjoy every part of taking care of animals. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a shy cat, I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry (or feathered!) family members, and I always aim to give them the same love and care they get at home. I’ve cared for pets my whole life! I’m free most of the week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday anytime; Tuesday and Thursday after late afternoon (5pm); weekends all day, perfect for walks, visits, or boarding. I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I treat every animal like family. I have two friendly dogs and a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of space for pets to run and play safely. I can adapt to any routine, provide fresh food and water, and maintain a clean, comfortable space. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, supervision, and creating a calm, loving environment so every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.
About: I just moved here from Chicago to start a position at UM! I’ve been an animal, especially dog and cat, person my entire life. Since leaving home, I’ve had to leave my puppies with my family during this transition. I miss them so dearly - I hope to find some families who have pets in need of some help. It will help me fulfill my need and love for animals, and I love to help others too. I worked at a dog kennel for 2+ years previously. Training, feeding, walking, and (my fav) playing with the pups! I feel confident in my ability to take care of any dog - big or small, energetic or sleepy. I have learned the skills to create a safe, trustworthy, and stable environment for you and your pets. I’m currently working full-time and the University of Miami - but my job allows for a lot of flexibility as a lot of my work is online. I’m completely free every afternoon after 5pm and open every weekend. I have a lovely dog park right next to my apartment building complex, as well as ample space in my 650sq ft apartment to escape the heat and still play. I could play and pet with dogs/dogs all day . The most important part about your pets experience is their safety, and you, the owner having peace of mind that you will pick them up happy and healthy! Before any visit, I would like to prioritize discussing your dog needs, and your needs to ensure that you know your pets is in good hands.
“Joshua was very responsive, professional, and took great care of Spike for us while we were away. He followed our requests and instructions to a tee and went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable in knowing that Spike was in good hands. He sent us pictures with each visit to keep us informed. I would definitely hire Joshua again to take care of Spike.”
“Sofia was a perfect sitter for my two cats Uma and Nya while we were away visiting family during Memorial Day weekend. She was prompt to show up for feedings, playtime and followed directions to the tee! Would not hesitate to ask her to care for them again! The time of her visit, and pictures gave us peace of mind during our time away!!”
About: I have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.
“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! :)”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, cats, a bird, and even a bunny, so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets. I have two years of experience caring for my neighbors’ cats while they were away, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication, and spending time playing with them. I’ve also had my own cat for the past four years, and at one point I had four cats, including a senior cat who was blind, so I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I know cats often require a different approach than dogs, and I’m happy to go at their pace to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience giving daily medication to my family’s dog and regularly walk my parents’ dogs whenever I’m home. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own I recently graduated from the University of Miami, so my schedule is very flexible while I search for a full-time position. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate my availability in advance and make sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and any special requests. I have experience caring for senior pets and administering medication, and I’ve stayed calm during an unexpected medical emergency while caring for my mom’s dog by getting her to the vet right away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know they’re safe and happy.
About: I have always been a dog owner and I have experience being a dog foster where I have helped many dogs with their previous trauma, such as anxiety and PTSD that was caused by being on the streets and even being mistreated by their previous owners. I offered them love, care and extra attention. I also have experience house training dogs and even getting them to do the simple “sit”, “stay” commands. Overall, I love animals and I am committed to give them the best care possible. I work remotely so I am available for boarding on weekdays and weekends from AM to PM. Please feel free to reach out to me. I currently live in an apartment with no pets of my own and no yard but I have a very flexible schedule where I can take the dog for hourly walks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Miami
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.
Kim and Seth went above and beyond when taking care of my Cat Ramesses. Ram is very shy with new people, but he immediately opened up with them. They were extremely communicative and sent lots of photos of my baby. The place was very clean when I returned and Ram was in good spirits. I will definitely use them in the future. They exceeded all of my expectations.
Valerie took excellent care of our dynamic duo. She watched both our cats for a week and she followed instructions to a tee. She also sent lots of pics daily so we felt assured they were being taken care of. She’s a great communicator and would definitely book with her again. And lastly, our cats trusted her almost immediately!
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!
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!!!!
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.
Dora Luz was fantastic! This was our first time using a service for KiKi and we were so pleased! It is obvious that Dora Luz is very experienced and our cat was very happy upon our return! We received daily updates and the pics were fabulous. We would definitely use her again! Thanks so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Miami on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,446 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:
- 89% 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.
