A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Miami

Pavement temperatures from May to October regularly top 130°F by 11am. Petme sitters in Miami walk at dawn and after sunset, keep stays indoors mid-day, and watch for paw burns on asphalt.

When owners travel

Demand peaks during cruise season (November to April), spring break in March, and the summer Latin American travel window (June to August). Boarding is the dominant service, driven by condo-living owners on cruises, business trips, or back-to-LATAM visits.

Know your Miami areas

Most bookings cluster Brickell to Aventura. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.

Breeds you will meet in Miami

Owners here mostly keep French Bulldog, Yorkie, Chihuahua, Mini Schnauzer. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.

Bilingual owners book faster

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Miami.

How much do house sitters earn per night in Miami?
House sitting on Petme in Miami runs $45 to $75 per night. You set your own nightly rate, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
What does house sitting involve?
You stay in the owner's home and keep their pet's routine: feeding, walks, play, and company overnight, plus basics like mail and plants if asked. Owners book it so their pet stays in familiar surroundings while they travel.
How is house sitting different from boarding in Miami?
With house sitting you go to the owner's home; with boarding the pet comes to you. House sitting suits pets that do better in their own space, and it is billed per night the same way.
Can I choose which house sitting jobs I accept in Miami?
Yes. You review each home and pet, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline. You set your nightly rate and your available dates, whether the home is in Brickell or Wynwood. No assigned bookings and no minimum nights.
What protection comes with house sitting bookings?
The Petme Protection Plan offers up to $22,000 for eligible vet costs for the pet in your care, subject to its terms. The same terms apply whether you stay in Brickell or Wynwood.
Are house sitting jobs hiring near me in Miami?
Yes. Petme recruits sitters across Miami year-round, from Brickell to Wynwood, and owners send booking requests directly to sitters in their area. There is no vacancy list to wait on: you create a profile, set the areas you cover, and accept the requests you want.
Can I do house sitting jobs in Miami at 16 or 17?
No. Petme sitters must be 18 or over, so under-18s cannot take bookings yet. From 18 you need a smartphone with the Petme app, to pass ID verification, and a profile that describes the pets you have cared for, including your own.
Is house sitting a good part time job in Miami?
It fits part-time schedules well because you are self-employed: no assigned shifts, no minimum hours, and you set your own rate. Many Miami sitters take a few bookings a week around a job or studies and scale up or down as their calendar allows.
When is house sitting demand highest in Miami?
Demand peaks during cruise season (November to April), spring break in March, and the summer Latin American travel window (June to August). That pattern shapes house sitting bookings in Miami across the year. Pavement temperatures from May to October regularly top 130°F by 11am.
What do I need to start house sitting in Miami?
You need to be 18 or over, have a smartphone with the Petme app, and pass ID verification. Owners choose on reviews, availability and a complete profile, so it is worth describing the pets you have looked after, including your own, and naming the Miami areas you cover.
Which dogs will I mostly stay with in Miami?
Owners in Miami mostly keep French Bulldog, Yorkie, Chihuahua, Mini Schnauzer, Golden Doodle. Saying on your profile which of those you have stayed with helps owners choose you, because most are looking for someone already comfortable with their dog's size and energy.
Are there jobs in Miami right now?
Yes. Owners across Miami book house sitting on Petme all year, and you take the ones that suit you. Sitters here are self-employed, so there are no assigned shifts and no minimum hours, and you set your own rate for every service you offer.
Are house sitting jobs in Miami paid?
Yes. House sitting on Petme is paid pet care: you stay overnight in the owner's home in Miami and look after their pets, and sitters here set nightly rates of about $45 to $75. It is not the arrangement where a sitter gets a free place to stay instead of pay.
Are there long-term house sitting jobs in Miami?
Yes, when owners travel for a week or more. Each booking covers the dates the owner requests, from one night to several weeks, and you choose which stays to accept. It is not a permanent live-in position, so longer work comes from owners away on extended trips and from repeat bookings.
