“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.”

About: I’m a very loving and attentive person who truly cares for animals as if they were my own. I understand that your pets are part of your family, and I treat them with the same kindness, patience, and affection they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making your furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved My schedule is very very flexible for pet care because I am a ballet teacher and only work a couple of hours in the afternoon I am very very careful and detail-oriented, always keeping everything clean and organized. Your pet will enjoy a safe, hygienic, and loving environment with me.

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: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. Our 12 year old Belgian Malinois is the heart of our home, so I know what senior dog care looks like day to day, including slower walks, joint comfort, and keeping routines steady. Because my Malinois is reactive to other dogs, I understand how stressful it is for anxious or reactive pets and their owners, and I know how to keep things calm and controlled. I also have a horse, which has given me real experience with daily care and giving medications. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for meds and special needs. Pets are already a big part of my daily routine. Between walks, feeding, and caring for our senior Malinois, my day naturally revolves around animals. My work schedule is flexible, so I can be home for much of the day, give regular potty breaks and walks, and keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. I’m happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions and send updates so you know how they’re doing. In my home, pets get a calm, structured routine. They’ll have regular walks, meals on your schedule, plenty of cuddle time, and a comfortable spot to rest. I keep a close eye on how they’re eating, drinking, and acting, and I send updates so you know they’re doing well. In your home, I stick to the routine your pet already knows, including their feeding times, walks, and medications. I’ll also bring in the mail, water plants, and leave things tidy so you come home to a normal house and a happy pet. Either way, I follow your instructions closely and I’m always happy to talk through special needs before a stay.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and was always the one in my family caring for them. I currently have two sweet boys of my own, both 8 years old. Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian; a reflection of just how much I’ve always cared for animals, but life had other plans and I proudly joined the service, where I’ve been serving for 13 years. Being in a new city away from family can get lonely, and I can’t think of a better way to feel at home than spending time with furry companions. I’d love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same care, love, and attention I give my own. Weekends work best for me when it comes to pet care since I work throughout the week. That said, I can still accommodate weekday care for emergencies or last-minute needs. I’ll just need to adjust my schedule. I try to stay as flexible as possible so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m very attentive to my dogs and I take the same approach with every pet I care for. I know each animal has their own unique habits and personality, so please let me know anything special about your pet. I’ll make sure to keep their routine consistent. My dogs are small, so I take them on multiple short walks throughout the day to keep them happy and exercised. At home, they stay in a gated area in my bedroom while I’m at work, and at night they sleep with me. If you’d prefer your pet to sleep freely, I’m happy to allow that, but if your pet is crate-trained and you’d like me to maintain that routine, I completely understand. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and cared for the same way you would.

About: I've never not had at least one dog or cat growing up. Experience with caring for many types of dogs and cats within all ages and sizes. I am currently working as a freelancer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets on which ever days and times you need. I can easily crate dogs if needed. Can follow a set feeding schedule or free feed pets. I am used to having high energy dogs and cats that want to play all the time so can definitely entertain them with lots of toys, walks and company.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs, from growing up with family pets to working at a doggy daycare for two years while in college. I’ve handled a variety of breeds & ages, & I bring that hands-on experience from caring for my own dog. I love connecting with each unique personality & look forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home, which means I’m always around to spoil your fur baby with walks, playtime, & lots of cuddles. Pet care is a joyful part of my day, & I love making sure they get all the attention they deserve while you’re away! For drop-in visits at your home, I respect your space & routines, making sure to follow your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, & playtime, keeping everything as normal for them as possible while you’re away!

About: I've grown up with dogs and have cared for pets of friends and family for years. Since I work from home as a film editor, I have a very flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks or check-ins when most people are stuck at the office. My experience is not just about walking—it's about understanding. I've spent time learning dog body language and behavior, so I know when a dog is stressed, excited, or just needs a calm moment. During a walk, I don't just rush around the block; I let them sniff, explore, and get proper mental stimulation. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a good run, or a senior who prefers a slow sniffari, I adapt to their pace. I’m a film editor and currently work from home, which makes pet care a great fit for my daily routine. My breaks are perfect for spending time with your little ones. I enjoy walking to the dog park, playing with them, and then getting back to work. I can bring my laptop with me, so I’m flexible and able to move around the house while caring for your pets. My top priority is safety, and it starts with understanding. I have studied dog body language and signals, so I can read when a dog is stressed, anxious, or uncomfortable—and I respond immediately to keep them calm and safe. I never force interactions and always let the dog set the pace. I also have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, and I can easily crate your dog if needed.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - West Miami

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Miami is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 5,967 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 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 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 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.
