Cat sitters near me in Miami

Cats stress less at home. Petme drop-ins + house sitting across all 27 Miami neighborhoods. 0% owner fee, up to 5% cashback, $20,000 vet protection.

Cats are not small dogs. Miami's condo-living cat owners travel often (cruises, LATAM, business), and cats overwhelmingly prefer staying home over boarding. Petme cat sitters come to you: drop-in visits twice a day for cruises and short trips, full house sitting for longer travel. Pick your neighborhood below.

Why Petme

Why Miami cat owners pick Petme over Rover and Wag

Cat sitting has different economics than dog sitting: shorter visits, more visits per day, longer trip durations (Miami cruises run 4–14 nights). The 0% owner fee + 5% cashback combo compounds faster on cat sitting than almost any other Petme service.

0% service fee for pet owners

Rover and Wag stack a 5% to 11% service fee on top of the sitter's rate at checkout. Petme stacks 0%. On a $325 5-night booking, that's $35 to $50 you keep in your pocket, every booking.

$20,000 vet protection, included

Every Petme booking automatically includes up to $20,000 in vet expenses if something happens during the stay. No deductible. No upcharge. No upgrade tier. Petme coordinates with the clinic directly from inside the app.

Up to 5% cashback, automatic

When a booking completes, up to 5% lands in your Petme balance instantly. Use it toward the next booking. No expiry, no minimum, no opt-in. Rakuten-style economics applied to your pet's second home.

Verified, background-checked sitters

Every Petme sitter passes identity verification with a government ID plus a background check before going live. Reviews are open and unfiltered. New-sitter status is tagged so you can see who is established.

Same sitter, every booking

Search and rebook the same sitter directly. No matchmaking churn, no rotating strangers. Most Petme owners settle on one preferred sitter after 2 to 3 bookings and stick with them for years.

Transparent pricing, no surprises

The price you see is the price you pay. No checkout-time service fee, no extra-pet fee, no "premium support" upsell. Add-ons (extra walk, late pickup, additional pet) charge 0% owner fee too.

Local use cases

Miami cat-sitting use cases

Miami's condo + cruise + LATAM-travel combo makes drop-in visits and house sitting the natural cat-care defaults. Petme cat sitters are built for it.

Cruise + LATAM travel drop-ins

Cruises out of PortMiami run 4 to 14 nights. Twice-daily drop-in visits (morning feed + litter + evening play) keep your cat fed, hydrated, and on routine. Most reliable Miami cat-sitting pattern.

Brickell + Aventura condo cat sitting

High-rise condo cats almost never tolerate boarding well. Drop-in visits twice a day in your cat's own home keep everything stable. Petme sitters know the doorman handover routine.

Multi-cat household drop-ins

Petme charges 0% owner fee even for multi-cat add-on. Many Miami sitters specialize in 2 to 4-cat households. The 5% cashback compounds faster across longer multi-cat bookings.

Medication + senior cat care

Many Petme Miami cat sitters administer pills, eye drops, subcutaneous fluids, or insulin. Mention medical needs in the booking; the sitter confirms before accepting. $20,000 vet protection covers any in-stay incident.

Shy / introverted cat specialists

Some Petme Miami sitters specialize in shy cats: visit, do quick litter + food + water, and respect the cat's space rather than forcing interaction. Tagged on profile.

Hurricane shelter-in-place cat care

During named-storm warnings, cats stay home almost universally. Petme sitters tagged "hurricane-flexible" can extend bookings on short notice, navigate building lockdowns, and keep cats fed through the storm window.
