About: Hi there! As to experience with dogs, I have brought all three of our family dogs home- my chihuahua Blueberry, my Maltipoo Teddy who I taught how to do obstacle courses such as jump through hoops, run through poles, go through tunnels, ect. And lastly, I got my very own miniature Aussiedoodle puppy this past year named Kova who’s about 11 months old now. I have 4 years of experience dog sitting my family, friends, and people on Nextdoor throughout all 4 years of high school from tiny to large dogs. I can also help teach them tricks! I live in an apartment close to University of Miami campus where I live with a few other girls and we have my puppy & my roomates Pomeranian living with us. I’m looking to pet sit, do walks, and check in’s since I love animals and have a bit more free time this year! I also have a car so I am able to drive to pickup and drop off! I promise I will treat your furry friends like my own with the utmost care & love! I’m currently a Junior at the University of Miami. My only priorities are my classes but besides my class time, I am completely available to take care of your pups! Due to my class schedule: • I am available Monday anytime besides 3:30-5pm. • I am available Tuesday anytime besides 2pm-6:30pm. • I am available Wednesday anytime besides 2pm-8pm. • I am available Thursday anytime besides 2pm-3:30pm and 5pm-9pm. • I am completely available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but contact me 3 days in advance for weekends to make sure I am completely available. I live in a townhouse style apartment with 4 other super sweet girls and we have 2 pups living with us to keep your dog company! I have my own puppy Kova who is a miniature Aussiedoodle girl and we have a miniature Pomeranian boy named Gio. We don’t have much of a backyard but I walk my own puppy about 4x a day through the grassy front yard and to the dog park in our complex. There are also multiple parks around the area that I love to take her to that I can walk your dog at as well! My pup no longer needs her crate but I have a crate that I can set up ahead of time if needed!
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-Luz was amazing! She dropped in for 3 days and cared for our super-shy elderly cat, our friendly stray, and our yard squirrels and birds. Daily pictures were a great comfort. She brought an unexpected delivery into the house. And even got our elderly shy girl to come out for a close up! Dora-Luz has a kind touch, and I highly recommend her care for your furries!”
“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.”
“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.”
“couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! She takes such great care of my cat! He is always so happy and relaxed when I get home. She not only keeps him entertained and well-loved, but she also goes the extra mile to clean up after him (& me). It’s such a relief knowing he’s in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“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: 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.
“Mariya was fantastic watching my two cats for the week I was away. My situation isn’t the easiest — my cats have to be kept separated, with one being pretty shy around new people — but Mariya handled it with patience and care. She kept me updated with regular check-ins, and it was clear she genuinely paid attention to each cat’s individual needs rather than just doing a quick in and out visit. I came home to two happy, well fed, comfortable cats and zero stress. Highly recommend Mariya to anyone with cats, especially if you’ve got a trickier multi-cat household like mine she’s clearly experienced and trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of various dog breeds and exotic pets since I was a child. I am well-versed in pet care and will love your animal like it is my own baby! I work remotely from home so I will be home all day with your baby and can walk it 4+ times a day or as often as needed. I have a clean, safe apartment with plenty of room for large dogs. I have 2 sweet Standard Poodles who are very friendly and like to sleep on the couch and bed.
“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!”
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.
About: Hi there! I'm Alexis. What's my favorite thing about dogs you ask? Well, I find delight in how loving they are, how sweet they are, how they love you unconditionally and are the best cuddle buddies. The best part about being a sitter with RoverGO is getting to meet, take care of, and have fun with so many different dogs and/or cats! I'm offering traveling pet care services through Rover that allow for your pet(s) to keep their daily routine and their environment the same while you are away.

My schedule is open and as long as I get your request, and we are a good match, I'm confident I will be your go-to pet sitter! I have had 7 dogs throughout my life including my two current pups. I come from a dog loving family. We have been taking care of dogs since I was just a young child. I will take care of your dog like they are my own. House sitting requires a level of trust and responsibility that I know how to emit. I will leave your home just as it was when you left! Send me a request! I'd be honored to meet you and your beloved pet(s). Forging a genuine relationship with you as your next pet sitter is something I pride myself on! Let's meet in person soon.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Miami
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in South Miami on Rover is $26.64 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,790 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Miami. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Miami stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
