“We feel so lucky to have found Natalia! From our first meet and greet, it was clear that our dog and Natalia had an instant connection. Natalia is genuinely kind and caring, and she took amazing care of both our pup and our home while we were away. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. Coming home to a happy dog and a tidy house was the best feeling. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Gabriela took wonderful care of our two Bernese Mountain Dogs, Jasper and Penelope, during a 3 night stay at our house while I was away. She sent updates and plenty of photos throughout, and it was clear the dogs were happy and well looked after the entire time. On top of that, she left the house spotless, which we highly appreciated. Thank you, Gabriela, for your time and care.”
“Heather was amazing with Nova! We needed someone to watch her while we were away for a day trip, and Heather stayed at our home from the morning through the afternoon. She kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Heather also brought her dog Juco who Nova had met during the meet and greet. Nova had an absolute blast having a friend to play with all day! It was clear that Heather truly cared about making sure Nova was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend Heather (and Juco!) and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Nova! 🐾💕”
“Helen was absolutely perfect for our Boston Terrier! She arrived on time, took excellent care of our boy, walked him and kept us updated on how he was doing! She was a lovely person and we certainly hope she is available again when we return to Miami!”
“Alexis was fantastic with our fur baby! She provided regular updates and photos which put us at ease while we were gone. When we returned home, everything was just like we left it. We've already booked her for our next trip. Thanks Alexis!!!”
About: I love animals, so much, in fact, that I try to volunteer in shelters as much as possible as well as try to find homes for stray dogs and bring them to no kill shelters to find love or help stay in a foster home while we find their forever family . There've been several instances where I've helped my boyfriend safely rescue a dog from a dangerous situation and managed to get them to a shelter, or to someone whom we know would love and care for them. Animals are just magical creatures that we are often times are too lucky to have. :-) "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." I hope you let me help take care of your furry baby I am Only available Mon-Thurs after 5pm, but I am available Friday-Sunday at any time. I love being able to fill my spare time with beautiful moments spent with animals and help people who need it I'm able to follow clear instructions from all pet owners in their houses as to how they wish to have their animals taken care of. At the end of the day I'm taking care of an animal that is not mine and it's best to know how the owner likes certain things done, especially in their own environment.

“Alana was wonderful with our baby Kaya. She sent photos, updates and was quick to answer any questions we had. She was able to give our dog her medicine, and took her for her regular walks. We came home to a spotless home, and a happy dog. We look forward to having Alana come back soon, without hesitation. Thank you Alana!”

About: I’ve been doing doggie sitting for approximately a decade and officially on Rover since 2021. Our teens love dogs but at this stage in our life I (mom) is not willing to get us a pet- we have lots of love to give but we want to maintain our flexibility for travel. This is what makes Rover and excellent fit for us! I am a nurse who works until approximately 3p and I alternate hospital/home work environment. Our high school aged kiddos love nothing more than coming home to play and show your doggie lots of love! We exercise every afternoon- we are a triathlete family and love staying active, thus walking and playing outdoors with your pup would be an utter joy for us. We have a single family home with fenced in spacious back yard for your pup to explore. Front yard as well and healthy and active gated community with a park/playground near by which we frequently walk to and play in. We can and will implement any needs for your pet to make him feel right at home. We have old-ish laminate flooring and we certainly dont mind the occasional accidents that come with pets exploring and adjusting to new environments. We can adjust to almost any per routine due to our flexible work schedules. We want this time apart to be as seamless as possible for your pup and his/her family. I do not currently have any pets in our home and thus our attention and care will be fully on your pup. Siblings are always welcomed together of course!

About: Hi there! I am a student at the University of Miami studying health sciences and health administration. I have been a technician at an animal hospital for five years. I have also been volunteering with animals for over eight years. I can administer medication’s, and make sure that the pet is safe and comfortable whenever they are with me. Working in the hospital, has provided me with experience with both young and senior pets as well as pets with all temperaments. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies soon! Pet care is extremely important to me. As a pet owner and animal lover myself I make sure that they are taken care of first that is how I start my days. I like to check on them throughout the day, making sure then have everything they need to be comfortable and have time to go outside. I adjust my schedule to your needs so whenever you need me to do a drop in or a walk, please let me know and any accommodations during pet sitting and I will use my knowledge to best assist. Also, I do have a car so I don’t mind driving them where needed if requested. Since I have been employed at the animal hospital, I have been entrusted with responsibilities of making sure that my patients are always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have the knowledge to acknowledge signs of any uncomfort for many different breeds of animals. I think my biggest job is making sure that I can read the pet to the best of my abilities so I can best fit their needs, ensuring that they are always comfortable and happy. I am in constant communication with the owners at all time making sure that if I notice anything they know right away, I always wanna make sure there’s full transparency between me and my clients. My number one priority is making sure that you know what is going on with your pet and making sure they are as happy, healthy and comfortable as they can be
About: We are Carlos and Liliana, a married couple with a lifelong connection to pets. We both grew up on family farms, surrounded by dogs, cats, horses and other animals, so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. Our beloved dog, Chispita, was part of our family for 14 years, giving us experience caring for a dog throughout the different stages of her life. We have also regularly cared for our children’s cats in New York and New Orleans, including administering daily medication when needed. More recently, through house and pet sitting, we have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and routines, including a household with two Huskies and four cats for three weeks. We understand that every pet is different and take the time to follow their established feeding, walking, medication and companionship routines carefully. We are both architects and university professors, responsible, organized and attentive to detail. When caring for pets in their own home, we also treat the home with the same care and respect we give our own. We are currently in a flexible stage of our professional lives, which gives us plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in our care. Since we are a couple, we can coordinate our schedules so pets receive plenty of companionship and are rarely left alone for long periods. We carefully follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in their own home, our priority is to maintain the environment and routine they already know. We carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors, gates, and any special needs. We are attentive to changes in behavior and keep owners informed while they are away. As experienced HomeExchange, Airbnb, and TrustedHousesitters users, we are also very respectful of our clients’ homes, privacy, and belongings.

I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure every pet gets the care and attention they’re used to while their owners are away.

I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter care, and any other specific needs. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home and will make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
About: I love dogs, I love being around them, I feel an incredible energy, it's beautiful to connect with them, I feel peace when I hug them. I walk for an hour a day, and what better way to do it than exploring the city with a dog? I'm currently studying and working part-time, almost always remotely, so I'd have time to play and connect with the dog, and walk around the city. I live near parks where dogs can enjoy themselves and socialize! I have access to open spaces, which is wonderful for both me and my furry friends. Walking along the bay and observing the seascape while enjoying the company of a dog is an incredibly enriching experience.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Miami
Sam has been helping watch our pup, Oakley, over the past few months and I cannot recommend her enough. She is reliable, kind, has great communication and takes amazing care of Oakley. She always leaves our apartment spotless. It is such a relief to have someone we can trust fully!
Joel did a great job looking over Stitch and Meeko for my weekend trip. Joel house sat for me, staying over and keeping my boys company. Joel came over a couple of times before my trip, making sure he knew where everything was. During the trip he gave me updates, sent me photo's and I felt very happy he was looking after them. Definitely recommend Joel for anyone looking for someone to trust their furbabies with.
Devin was amazing with our golden retriever, Honey! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while we were away. Honey was happy, loved, and clearly in excellent hands. We would absolutely trust Devin to watch her again and highly recommend her!
Morgan was nothing short of AMAZING! She stayed over for a week while we were away and not only did she take wonderful care of our fluff, but the space was super clean after she left! Our Aussie is wonderful but she isn't good with other dogs - Morgan had no problem keeping her separated from my mom's dogs while making sure to keep to her regular schedule! Long walks, plenty of play time in the backyard, and cuddles in bed were a regular part of their week together! I wouldn't hesitate to have Morgan take care of our little girl again :)
Sarah took wonderful care of our cat Leopold while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Leo was clearly very happy and well cared for when we returned. The house was spotless, and Sarah was great about communicating with us — especially when there was an issue with the garage door. She kept us informed and handled everything perfectly. We really appreciated her reliability and care, and would absolutely book with her again.
Hannie is AWESOME!! She handled my pack of Dobermans with ease (no small feat by ANY means) after only one meet and greet. She took amazing care of everyone, made sure they were well-fed and handled the pack dynamics perfectly. My babies were in heaven with her (she takes the cutest pics & videos!!) and were very clearly well cared for when I got home. I am so happy to have met Hannie, and my pups are obsessed with her. As a big dog owner I’m always nervous with new sitters, but I felt immediately at ease with Hannie (and my dogs were immediately obsessed with her). She followed all the instructions and went above & beyond in just making sure everyone was happy, safe, and having fun. Thank you Hannie!
Cristina was fantastic. She understood the needs of our medium to large sized rescue dog and looked after him really well. She was polite and curious and looked after our home. She sent regular updates and asked questions when required keeping good communication.

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 Miami 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 Miami 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Miami 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
