“Suzanne was fantastic with our little puppy. It was our first time leaving him and she sent photos of them having a walk and having fun. We would 100% book Suzanne again”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and more than 5 years rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming street dogs, I bring a unique combination of compassion, skill, and reliability. I currently volunteer at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center, where I work hands-on with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, safe, and loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. Your pet will be treated like family—because caring for animals is not just something I do, it’s who I am. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work in delivery, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available at almost any time of the day. I do prefer morning appointments, but I’m always willing to adjust to meet each pet’s needs and ensure they receive the best care possible. In my home, pets enjoy a spacious and secure backyard where they can relax and play comfortably. They sleep inside the house with all the care and comforts they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I adapt to the services they request — whether it’s stopping by once or twice a day for feeding and walks, or staying overnight to ensure their pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for.
“Amanda is always flexible, fair, and professional. We are so happy to have found her. She has pet sat for us in our home multiple times now and every time has been great service.”
About: I am an experienced kennel technician/vet tech assistant! I am comfortable handling and administering medications, know how to handle picky eaters, and I know what to look for with appetite and potty habits for health monitoring. I am especially experienced in caring for senior fur babies with arthritis, it is my goal with them to always make sure they are comfortable and are as active as they want to be. I even have experience in caring for diabetic fur babies. No matter the scenario my goal is to look after any fur kid as if they were my own, making sure they get nothing but the best and are as happy and healthy as they can be! I am a full time zookeeper, and I work 4 days a week! That leaves me three full days of extra time to devote to anyone’s fur babies and make new friends! Unfortunately the complex I live at does not allow me to care for pets that do not belong to me in my unit; however, in a clients home it is my goal to follow all instructions provided to me! I monitor them for as long as I am with them, and aside from usual care duties I enjoy getting to spend time with them to give them stimulation but also to make sure they still feel loved, including play time if they are feeling playful! It is my goal to always remain in communication with the parents, and if I am every unsure of anything I will ask them first. For walking dogs, I do not live far from Lettuce Lake if the parents would like them to go on a long walk, or just simply tell me if there is a route they prefer. I do always want to make sure I ask about their behavior around other dogs and people as I know this can affect where and how they are walked, but at the end of the day safety is my number 1 goal!
“Liz was AMAZING! She sent so many pictures and videos the entire time I was gone. She also brought her a bone that’s her new absolute favorite toy. I am so grateful!! Will definitely be calling Liz anytime I’m away!! 🩷”
“Beth is absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our Emma. She was so attentive to all of her needs and sent us great updates. We can’t wait to have her take care of our girl in the future.”
“Kali is amazing with our German Shepherd! She not only arrives on time, but is also very flexible — we really appreciated that she even arrived earlier upon a last-minute request. She prioritizes his care by taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first thing, practicing his commands, and following his schedule promptly. She keeps me informed throughout the day with important updates, which I truly appreciate. She also picks up all of his toys and makes sure our home is clean and tidy every time — I always come home to everything looking nice and clean. She is absolutely the best you can have caring for your puppy. We truly appreciate you, Kali! 🩵”
“Adrianna did a wonderful job caring for my dog and two cats while I was away. She was communicative throughout the entire visit and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear she was thorough and attentive to their routines and needs. When I returned, the house was in great order and all of my pets were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her to watch them again in the future.”

“Tiffany was amazing! I booked her last minute after an issue with a scheduled sitter. My dog ended up being sick 2 days before I left for vacation and Tiffany took exceptional care of him, giving him his meds and making sure he was comfortable. I cannot thank her enough! She kept me updated and assured me he was ok. I will definitely use her again!”
“Olivia took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with pictures. She took time to let them get some extra energy out with games of fetch in addition to walking them. She also took great care of my apartment while I was away.”
About: My parents adopted our family dog just before I was born. She was a German Sheppard named Kristy who was my friend and guardian until she passed. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart and I love their energy and connectedness. I love walking, playing fetch or just hanging out them. I’m now the protector and friend to dogs and I take my role seriously. My parents also loved cats. I remember when I was young that my parents adopted a couple stray cats and before we knew it they had kittens. Cats have always been a part of my immediate family. I have two now (Mittens and Squawky) I am looking forward to meeting yours! Being a pet owner, taking care of animals is part of my daily routine. When adding more pets to be with it adds more joy and fun to my life. I have a lot of availability so that isn’t typically an issue. I will take your dog(s) for walks (poop scoop), feed them on schedule, play with them as appropriate for their age, give them any medicines needed and show them lots of affection.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Del Rio
Alexus was extremely accomodating to start pet/house sitting for us last minute. I have never used Rover before and was very hesistant to because my dogs are both seniors with one having a strict round-the-clock medication schedule for his epilepsy. I couldn't have been happier with how professional, communicative, and genuinely sweet Alexus was during her time in my home. She provided constant updates with photos, gave my 2 senior dogs and kitten the same attention and care that I would, and left my house cleaner than before she arrived. I will absolutely use her services again in the future!
Our Priya loves Shawnna and she cannot wait to see her every time we travel. Shawnna is extremely caring and responsive. She takes our girl on long walks, plays with her in the park and gives her so much love. She also takes care of the pawrents as well. She maintains us informed always, she’s very accommodating and sweet. We love having her as Priya’s caretaker when we go out of town or on trips. You can tell Priya loves her too very much!
Jesse took amazing care of James while I was away and also took very good care of my apartment as well. She was super responsive and constantly gave me updates on how my child was doing. I would 100% book her again and recommend everyone who is looking for pet care to book her as well!
We can’t recommend Angela enough! We hired her in a pinch before a trip, and she was so accommodating and easy to work with. She took amazing care of our dogs, loved on them like they were her own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We even came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left! She truly went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be using her again.
Victoria was amazing during the stay with our dogs. She followed our instructions and was great at communicating and sending picture updates! She is very skilled which eased our minds as we were away for a few days. We would definitely book again in the future !
Victoria was an incredible sitter for our pups!! She was great with communication, and sent us so many pictures of the pups having a great time! Upon leaving, she wrote us the sweetest note and got the pups little toys 🥹. Victoria kept our place super clean, which was a nice to come back to especially after a long day of travel! Looking forward to having her with the pups again!! Would highly recommended 😊
Alina was absolutely fantastic overnight with my Sadie!!! Sadie has some GI and joint issues and Alina was wonderful about accommodating everything and sending me tons of photos!!! She even sent me a photo of Sadie’s food so I could verify she had all her supplements!! As an anxious dog mom she made me feel very at ease and I will 100% be using her again!!
Kristina was great! Her first time staying with the dogs and she was able to manage both my large dog (who is apprehensive with people) and small dog (who requires medication including insulin). The house looked better than when we left it and both dogs were happy and well taken care of. We will be using her again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Del Rio walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Del Rio maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Del Rio choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .
