Petme · Miami house sitting
House sitters in Miami, your pet stays home
Verified Miami sitters stay overnight in your home. AC kept running, pool watched, mail collected. Up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan for eligible vet costs.
House sitting fits Miami's condo + vacation-home market. A verified Petme sitter stays in your home from Brickell to Aventura while you cruise or travel, keeping your dog or cat on their normal routine in their familiar space. Particularly valuable in hurricane-season windows (June–November) when boarding fills up fast and your pet stays safer at home with a person.

What’s included
What a Miami house-sitting booking includes

They sleep there, keep your AC running, your fridge stocked, and your routine intact. Daily walks to South Pointe Park, Margaret Pace Park, or wherever your dog usually goes.
Daily photo + video updates
Sent in-chat from the booking. Many Miami sitters add a quick clip from the morning beach walk too.
Mail, plants, light rotation
Standard with most house sits. Mention pool monitoring, hurricane shutters, or building staff in your booking notes.
Protection Plan + 24/7 support
Owners can get up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan for eligible vet costs, including at clinics like BluePearl North Miami Beach. Subject to the Protection Plan terms.
Why Miami
Why house sitting works in Miami specifically
Cruise embarkations from PortMiami mean 5–14 night travel windows when boarding capacity binds. Hurricane warnings can require sheltering pets at home, and a house sitter who already knows your shutters and routine is the safer choice. Condo buildings in Brickell, Edgewater, and Aventura often have pet rules that strangers can't navigate as easily as a vetted sitter staying overnight.

Why Petme in Miami
0% fee. Cashback. $22,000 Protection Plan. Same sitter, every time.
The dog-sitter market has been Rover's and Wag's for a decade. Petme rebuilt the economics around the pet owner. Miami owners on Petme pay less per booking, get more protection, and earn cashback on every stay. Sitters keep more of the rate, which is why they show up.
0% service fee for pet owners
Rover, Wag, and Care.com layer a service fee on top of the sitter's rate at checkout, and their exact fees are published on their own sites and can change. Petme layers 0%. You pay only the rate the sitter sets, so a 5-night booking costs exactly five nights.
Protection Plan for eligible vet costs
Owners can get up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs if something happens during the stay. Petme coordinates with the Miami clinic from inside the app.
Cashback on every booking, automatic
When a booking completes, cashback on every booking lands in your Petme balance instantly. Use it toward the next booking, no expiry, no minimum. Rakuten-style economics applied to your pet's second home.
Verified, background-checked sitters
Every Petme Miami sitter passes identity verification with a government ID plus a background check before going live. Reviews are open and unfiltered. Same-sitter rebooking is one tap, not a matchmaking dice roll.
The cashback maths
What a 5-night booking in Miami actually costs
Worked example at the Miami median nightly rate ($113 per night). The sitter sets the same rate either way; the difference is what each platform stacks on top.
| Line item | Petme | Fee-charging platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Sitter rate (5 × $113) | $565 | $565 |
| Pet-owner service fee | $0 | ~$59 |
| Cashback earned | −$17 | n/a |
| Effective cost | $548 | $624 |
The right-hand column is a typical owner-side service fee on platforms that charge one on top of the sitter rate (Rover, Wag and Care.com publish their current fees on their own sites). $22,000 Protection Plan is included in the Petme price; other platforms set their own cover and caps.
