“Paola and her mother provided exceptional care for Toby, who thrived in the environment, forming new friendships, engaging in numerous activities, and enjoying a positive experience. They shared a significant number of photographs with us, reflecting the quality of care provided. Based on this experience, we wholeheartedly recommend their services and intend to designate them as our preferred choice for future needs.”
“Susy and her husband took great care of our dog Nala while we were in Disney during spring break. Their house is very clean and organized. They sent me videos of Nala very day. Nala was happy running around with other little dogs in the backyard. They also took Nala on daily walks. So happy to find a sitter we could trust!”
“Shirley was excellent. I was anxious about leaving my pup for the first time but he had a blast and even seemed sad to leave! She’s a trustworthy sitter who clearly has a ton of experience with dogs. I will definitely be booking again soon.”
“I truly couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my dog than Mayra. I get emotional even writing this—she goes above and beyond every single time. Her kindness is exceptional, and it means the world to me knowing Banks is in such loving hands. Banks and I are so lucky to have her in our lives. Thank you for taking such amazing care of him. God bless you, Mayra.”
“Mariana was great taking care of Cooper! She was very sweet and updated us daily with photos and videos and took him on multiple walks. He looked very happy in all the photos. I highly recommend her for all your dog sitting needs!”
“Teresa was amazing! She took care of Olive like she was her own dog. She sent me daily pictures and videos. She took her to the dog park and has a backyard where she had her outside often to run and play.”
“I cannot recommend Maite enough! She watched my two dogs for three weeks, and from the very beginning it was obvious that she genuinely loves dogs. Unlike some sitters who seem to be doing it just as a job, she truly cares for every dog as if they were her own. She sent multiple pictures and videos every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs went on daily walks, made new dog friends, and even came home with new toys she had bought for them. She always cleaned them up after their walks, and they were so well cared for in every way. Her home was spotless, safe, and had plenty of space for the dogs to play and relax. The level of attention, love, and care she gave them exceeded every expectation I had. The biggest sign of how amazing she is? My dogs were genuinely sad to leave her. That says everything. I would trust her with my dogs again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets as much as you do, she’s the one.”
“Janeth is our top choice for dog sitting and has been for the past year. Roscoe is always giddy when he sees her. She takes photos and shares updates with us throughout his stays. We would be lost without Janeth!”
“April and Quintin were AMAZING. Our baby looked so happy in every single picture they sent! I know they took great care of Sprout and it showed. We will definitely be using them again when we go on a vacation where we can’t bring her with us!!”
“Rainey took such great care of both our dogs! She didn’t hesitate to take them both last minute and provided us with so many photo updates while we were gone. Thank you!!”
“She was fantastic. Gave me updates on Charlie regularly. Her home is very inviting and pet friendly. Will definitely use again. Ella fue fantástica. Me dio actualizaciones sobre Charlie regularmente. Su casa es muy acogedora y admite mascotas. Definitivamente lo usaré de nuevo.”
“Yara and her daughter were just amazing and so loving! Our little guy was super happy and it showed in all the pictures Yara would send. Thank you so much Yara for taking such wonderful care of our little guy.”
“Tiphany was amazing with my dog Luffy. She accepted the booking last-minute and took great care of him from one day to the next. She sent updates, photos and made me feel very comfortable while he was with her. You can tell she truly loves animals. Highly recommended!”
“Christina was amazing! We had never left our dog with anyone other than family so I was very hesitant to do it. I can't say enough how great Christina was! Brandy (our fur baby) is blind and a diabetic. She requires monitoring of her glucose levels and insulin shots twice a day. Although she's blind she gets around quite well so that wasn't our main concern but the diabetes was a huge worry for us. Christina kept us updated thoughout the day on her glucose levels and sent several pictures also. It was a great experience for us all and we plan on using her again whenever we need a sitter. I highly recommend Christina!”
“Lisany was awesome! She always replied, sent pictures and Fela was happy and comfy! You can definitely trust her with your pet! Lisany fue perfecta para mi Fela; siempre respondió a mis mensajes y mando fotos. Fela la pasó feliz y a gusto. Definitivamente se puede confiar para cuidar tu mascota!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Katharine! She stepped in last minute to watch Rue and her exceptional care put me at ease right away. Her communication was outstanding- she kept me updated with regular messages and videos, which showed just how happy and well cared for Rue was. Her love for our dogs shines through her work. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my baby Rue. Highly highly recommend especially when looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! ❤️”
“Mariya was great with Clementine. Mariya was kind and caring for Clementine since she is older and wanted tons of love and attention. Mariya made it easy for us to enjoy our vacation knowing Clementine was safe and well cared for.”

We left our beloved pup with Susy and Richard for 10 days (second time this summer). They take care of him like one of their own doggies. The genuine love and care they provide is extraordinary. It truly has been a blessing to have them care for our precious doggie while we’re on vacation. It makes the vacation time more enjoyable knowing the type of care they provide. Additionally, they send daily updates including videos. I recommend them 100%!!!!
Maite desde el primer día me transmitió mucha tranquilidad , recibió a mis perritas con mucho amor y lo más importante mis perritas se quedaron felices de la vida allá !!! Me mantuvo al tanto de todo, como se portaban , me envió fotos y videos, me encantó el trato de maite y su esposo con mis bebés perrunas

Lilly was fantastic! I know that Poppy had a great time and was well taken care of- she was even hesitant to leave! We received daily updates on Poppy and Lilly truly treated her as her own. She was exercised, played with, cuddled, and spoiled; it was as much a vacation for her as it was for us. Poppy showed no signs of anxiety or nervousness upon return. Her environment was clean, calm, inviting, and pet-free. I know that Poppy appreciated the spacious area and backyard with lots of outside time. Lilly was also very flexible and helped greatly when return flights were rescheduled. Highly recommend Lilly to care for your fur baby without worry!
As first-time Rover users, we were a bit anxious about leaving our pup with strangers for an extended 2-week vacation. We found Alejandro's profile based on reviews and proximity to our home. After meeting Alejandro and his wife Robbie for a meet-and-greet, we decided to give it a shot. Wow - we are so grateful we did! Alejandro and Robbie are incredibly kind and gentle people. And, importantly, they showered our Maddie with love and attention for two weeks. They did so much more than just "watch over" Maddie and give her food. They cared for her, took her on walks, incorporated her into their daily routines, took her along to restaurants for breakfast. Throughout the two weeks, Alejandro and Robbie sent pictures to reassure us that Maddie was ok. The first pictures were hugely reassuring, but after the 10th picture started getting concerned that Maddie might not want to come home. She was clearly enjoying her stay with Alejandro and Robbie. In short, we 100% recommend Alejandro and Robbie to care after your pup. We are blessed to have met them!
April and Quintin were amazing with my dog Carl. They kept constant communication on how he was doing, kept him engaged and he definitely felt loved by both of them. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated, reliable, and professional dog sitter! Thanks April and Quintin!
I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER MORE! You will never have to ask for any updates or wonder if your dog took their medication/food. She is on top of it and sends updates frequently! She’s very friendly, easy going, and fun to talk to. A genuine dog lover and wonderful environment for your baby. She exercised my baby 3 times a day and treated him like her own family. I couldn’t ask for better! 🥰
Svenja was great! She provided updates regarding our dog Thor throughout our stay. She had multiple dogs staying with her and we were a little nervous at first, but she is excellent at finding which dogs get along with others and Thor had the time of his life. I highly recommend her.
Katherine was a lifesaver — she took Voltaire in on very short notice and gave him a fantastic weekend. I could tell from the updates she sent that he was comfortable, well cared for, and having a great time. She’s clearly experienced and genuinely loves dogs. I’d trust her with Voltaire again without hesitation, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Christina was awesome! I have an older dog, so wanted a meet & greet before leaving her with anyone. Christina was super understandable and met with her the next day. I just picked my pup up after 4 nights and she looked great! Christina sent me photos and daily updates which I really appreciate. Will definitely leave my dog there next time!
Janeth was amazing! My fur baby had never stayed with anyone else before so I was a bit worried about it. Janeth made me feel at ease. She was very sweet, gentle and caring with him. She also sent me updates (morning and evening) with photos. If you are in need of a reliable, responsible and professional dog sitter, I highly recommend her. 😊 I know I will definitely use Janeth’s services again in the future.
Jessica was wonderful with our 6 month old puppy. We usually take our Nikki everywhere with us, so this was her first time away. We had met Jessica and her dog, and we knew she’d be good with our Nikki. When we brought her, Nikki felt right at home and secure. She brushed and walked her and was great about posting photos and videos; and communicated so we knew and could see how our Nikki was doing. Thank you Jessica for doing such a wonderful job with our sweetie.
It was my first time ever having a sitter for my doggy and jewelene made the experience so easy and made me feel confident in my baby being safe and well taken care of. She did an amazing job and although my dog can be very anxious she did great with her. Would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Miami on Rover is $38.85 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,862 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Miami. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of South Miami sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which South Miami landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Miami home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South Miami.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your South Miami sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
