“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!”

“Haley has a special talent to take care of cats. My two cats are very shy and not easy socializing with new people. Haley was able to establish a close and warm relationship with both cats in a couple of days. Both cats came to greet her warmly when she came back home to return my keys. Haley is very punctual and organized with her daily visits. She communicates very openly any adjustments in the visiting schedule, and she is reassuring, mature, serious and professional. Her visits include feeding, taking care of the litter boxes and playing with them. She truly has a special talent to connect with animals! I am already hiring her again for my next trip!”

She kept me updated throughout their stay and communicated with me consistently, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely book her again to take care of my pups. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m good at meeting pets where they are and figuring out what makes them comfortable. I’m just as happy caring for a house full of pets as I am hanging out with one who wants all the attention. I know some pets want a new best friend the second you walk through the door. Others would prefer you put down the food and mind your business for a while. I’m good with both. Whether I’m house sitting or stopping in for a visit, I want your pets to feel like their routine hasn’t changed much just because you’re away. And I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates so you don’t have to wonder how things are going. I work remotely part time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to fit pet care into my day. When I’m house sitting, I can work from your home and spend more of the day with your pets. I also have plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings and evenings. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medications to walks, playtime, and where everyone is supposed to be. I’m also mindful that I’m a guest in your home. I’ll keep things secure, clean up after myself and your pets, and make sure you come home to things the way you left them. If anything seems off with your pet while you’re away, I’ll let you know rather than leaving you to find out later.

About: Ive taken care of dogs / cats ever sincei was a child. I always had a love for animals ever since i could remember. I have 1 cat & 1 dog of my own who are very happy loved. My work schedule is very flexible and for most days i work from home so I’ll be there to care and watch the animals whenever i have a pet in my care. I have a backyard that is pretty spacious and I also have an area in the front that has a decent amount of space. The entire property is gated so there is no way for them to escape. They can play outside or inside, whichever the animal prefers in that moment.

About: I love providing animals with the best care because they could feel stressed without their owners. I love taking away anny type of anxiety for them. I’m currently a college student so I have plenty of time to check in with your fur babies everyday and a few times a week I have a fenced yard and a cat who is vaccinated. I make sure they have their necessities and provide them with what makes them feel safe whether it’s space, company, etc.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 12 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and families in my community. I’ve also had two Boston Terriers of my own, so I know firsthand how much pets become part of the family. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities and am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsible, active, and attentive, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions. My goal is to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while they’re in my care. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in medical school, so my rotation schedule can vary from week to week, but I’m often free throughout the week. I’m especially available in the evenings and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule whenever I can! I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and playtime. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship while keeping the home clean and secure. With 12+ years of pet-sitting experience and two Boston Terriers of my own, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs.

She was extremely compassionate and patient with our Bella who is 17 and a bit slow and in a fragile state. Thanks to Guina, we were able to enjoy our vacation without a worry. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the care and devotion you gave to our baby. Our neighbors even noticed and reported back to us!!!”

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: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with over 5 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m also very comfortable with dogs who aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of other dogs or people. My own dog is reactive, so I’m used to being patient, paying attention to body language, avoiding situations that may overwhelm a dog, and giving them the space they need. Because of this, I understand that every dog is different and that some pups need a little extra patience and care. I’ve mainly done dog walking and sitting in clients’ homes since I’m unable to board dogs at my own house due to my dog’s reactivity. I’m reliable, responsible, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Most importantly, I absolutely LOVE dogs and would be so excited to spend time with yours! 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student at FIU, but I have a pretty flexible class schedule. I have two classes on Monday and Wednesday, one class on Tuesday and Thursday, and no classes on Fridays or throughout the weekend. Because of this, I’m at my apartment often and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I also have my car here, so I am able to easily commute to different locations. I’m also a very active person and love going on walks, so taking a dog on longer walks is something I would genuinely enjoy. I live right near campus, and there is a grassy area directly below my apartment where people regularly take their dogs out, which makes quick potty breaks really convenient. I also have one roommate who loves dogs, so your pup would definitely be welcomed and cared for while they’re with me! I’m happy to work pet care into my schedule and make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and attention that I would give my own. I have a genuine passion for animals and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also very attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, especially because I have experience with dogs who may be nervous or reactive. If I ever have any concerns about a pet, I will communicate them to the owner right away. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive environment and make sure the dog is happy and well cared for.

Mariya and her partner were excellent. My cat is a little reactive but they did a great job trying to play and get her to warm up! I had one day where I thought she was missing (she was just hiding but was not in her usual place for hours) and they came over earlier and found her for me and moved the camera so I could see her, which eased my anxiety as my cat is a senior.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - West Miami

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Miami is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,052 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Miami. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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 West Miami. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
