“Mariya was great in drop-ins looking after my cat and was a pleasure to work with. All communication was quick and clear, she was flexible with working out the details and meeting up, and followed all instructions. She sent lots of great pics and my cat did great while she was looking in on him. Would definitely book again.”
“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.”
“This was our second time booking with Arianna for drop in visits with our cat. She is very responsive and was flexible with accommodating a last minute care request. Our cat seems very comfortable with her and she followed all feeding/ care instructions perfectly, we'll definitely continue to book with her in the future!”
“We are new to the area and were feeling anxious about finding a pet sitter that would be kind and loving to our babies. We could not be happier that we found Jaclyn on Rover and gave her the chance. From our first time doing a meet & greet, she was genuine, honest, and explained everything she would take care of while we were out of town. Our 3 kitties loved her from the moment they met her. She did a wonderful job of sending us daily reports and photos of our babies. She checked in daily through the Rover app, always on time. One thing that stood out was how detail-oriented Jaclyn is and how she paid attention to a subtle difference in one of our cats. She reported that our 17 year old kitty was breathing differently and sent us a video. Sure enough, our girl had an upper respiratory infection and had to go to the hospital for care. We are so grateful we found Jaclyn. She is trustworthy and responsible. More importantly, she loved our babies and our babies loved her!”
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.
“Xenabeth is by far the best dog sitter I have ever had. She goes above and beyond caring for my dog Mason and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Amanda and I was born and raised here in Miami, FL! I work from home doing enterprise software sales. I’ve had dogs in my family since I was as young as 3 years old. I’ve grown up around big dogs like Boxers, American Bulldogs, and Pitbulls and very small dogs like Yorkies, Shih Tzu’s and I currently have a Pomeranian. I have extensive experience and love for dogs that are all shapes and sizes and would love to treat your pet like royalty whenever they may need me for walks and drop ins. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my weekly schedule. Reach out to me and we will find a time that works for us all :) I am trustworthy, reliable, and responsible. I am very active and fit and can handle bigger dogs, dogs that pull, and small dogs alike. I’m happy to go for long walks, short walks, let your dog out in the backyard, play, whatever your dogs activity level and personality requires!
“Gaby is always amazing and let’s you know immediately if she sees anything that’s not right. I always feel good knowing my cats are very well taken care of.”
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.
About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets since I was five years old which has given me a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all ages sizes and personalities. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do - I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine , personality and needs to ensure they are comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to feeding plans, or just simply spending quality time with them. I want every pet to have a positive stress-free experience. I work full time 4 days out of the week. I have Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. I also wake up very early at 6 am and I always have a lot of time after i finish work at 6 to make sure any booked pets are well taken care of. With animals, it is all about body language. I would make sure they approach me and get to know me first before I reach out and make contact myself. Only after then I can tell if the pet is skid-dish and needs some time and encouragement or if they trust easy I would make sure to acknowledge that and show the love back. Going from there I would be able to handle them like they were my own and make sure they are well taken care of. These animals are souls that cannot express themselves with words and I make sure I can hear them and have them trust me.
About: I have had pets my whole life. As a young girl I had cats and later as an adult I still have dogs and cats. I have experience with several breeds of dogs to include German Shepherd Daschund shitzu mix and Yorkie I am retired so I am flexible. I can drop in for walks or feedings at least 3 times per day. We can discuss at the initial meeting. I can take them out for a walk and feed them. If they need company for a bit I can do that as well. This can be discussed.
About: I have been doing sitting for 2 years. I am trusted by family friends and neighbors to walk, feed, and okay with their dogs. I have dog sat a variety of dogs ranging from big to small. Hello! I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and currently work full time as a teacher assistant. Outside of work, I dedicate most of my time to caring for my dog—she’s my constant companion, whether we’re running errands or visiting places like Disney World. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll provide your dog with the same level of care, attention, and respect that I give my own. I have a fenced backyard and live in a dog-friendly community. I also have two friendly dogs who love the company of other pups and help keep playtime active and engaging.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve never lived without dogs, they are my pride and joy and what I look forward to coming home to. I work a part time and am also in university a couple days of the week. So when I’m not busy I absolutely love doing this as a side hustle for extra income. I am very loving and try to take a calm and gentle approach even if my dogs are misbehaving which isn’t often. I have one very chill senior dog and one very hyper one so sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the different energy level but I love it. I adjust my caregiver abilities depending on the animal.
“Kim was great! Followed instructions perfectly, kept us updated, and my pets got along great with her. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Miami
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!
Jennifer did a fantastic job of caring for my cat while I was out of town. She checked in with me during every visit and sent plenty of photos and videos. She did a great job of cleaning up after my cat and went above and beyond to even vacuum up all the litter she tracked around the house. Thank you, Jennifer!
Nadia is terrific and we will be happy to work with her again. Our dog is very sensitive and timid, but he warmed up to Nadia right away because she is kind, caring, patient, and loves dogs. Nadia sent us helpful updates and photos and is superb at communicating. Thank you!!

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.

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.
