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. $20,000 vet protection on every booking.

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.

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 — 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. 5% cashback. $20,000 vet protection. 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 5% to 11% service fee on top of the sitter's rate at checkout. Petme layers 0%. You pay only the rate the sitter sets. On a typical 5-night booking, that's $35 to $50 you don't pay.

$20,000 vet protection, included

Every Petme booking 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 Miami clinic from inside the app.

Up to 5% cashback, automatic

When a booking completes, up to 5% cashback 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 (~11%)	$0	~$59
Cashback earned (up to 5%)	−$28	n/a
Effective cost	$537	$624

Competitor column reflects platforms that charge pet owners a service fee on top of the sitter rate (Rover, Wag, Care.com). $20,000 vet protection is included in the Petme price; competitors charge separately or cap medical reimbursement.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does house sitting cost in Miami?

Overnight house sitting in Miami typically runs $75 to $150 per night, depending on the number of pets, length of stay, building access, and any plant or pool tasks. Petme charges owners 0% on top.

Does the sitter actually sleep at my place?

Yes. House sitting on Petme means the sitter sleeps in your home, keeps your pet on their normal routine, and short outings are agreed in advance.

Can a Miami sitter handle hurricane shelter-in-place?

Many can. Mention it in your booking notes — sitters who can stay through a named-storm window are clearly tagged on their profile. The $20,000 vet protection applies through evacuations.

How do you handle condo building rules?

You brief the sitter at the meet-and-greet and walk them past the doorman or building staff. The Petme app stores building keycodes, garage access, and elevator pet etiquette notes per booking.

Will the sitter watch my pool and water plants?

Yes if you ask. Add these tasks to your booking notes. Many Miami house sitters factor pool monitoring into the nightly rate without extra charge.

What if my pet needs a vet during a Miami house sit?

Open a ticket from inside the booking and Petme support coordinates with the clinic. Up to $20,000 vet expenses are covered automatically, no deductible.
