House Sitting East Rio

“Julia made us feel very comfortable throughout her stay with our puppy. She would send us messages and respond back promptly whenever we communicated. She also left the house very clean, which was a nice bonus on top of our dog being cared for so well!”

“Kim did a fantastic job taking care of my dogs! She kept them on their normal schedule, spent lots of time playing with them, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I especially appreciated all the pictures and updates she sent — it was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for they were the entire time. I could tell my dogs were getting lots of attention and love. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“María José was a wonderful caretaker for our dog, Pepper! She stayed at our apartment with Pepper throughout our 5 day trip and took amazing care of our pup. María José sent so mahy pictures, gave frequent and thorough updates and made sure our dog was loved and cared for. We could not recommend her enough!”

Melissa M.

“Anna was a godsend while we were out of town! She stayed at our house and we came back to it cleaner than when we left. She sent updates and pictures every day, which left us feeling at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. Finding someone to house and pet sit can be stressful, but we are so glad we found Anna. I highly recommend her… we will definitely reach back out when we need a sitter in the future! Thank you, Anna🩷🩷”

About: I grew up with a brindle boxer who was truly part of my family, and losing her a couple years ago was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through. Since then, I’ve been fostering dogs through the Humane Society, everything from shy rescues to energetic puppies. Ive fostered dogs that had kennel cough to dogs that needed to gain weight after being rescued from horrible conditions. Fostering taught me how to handle different personalities, build trust with nervous dogs, and give each pet the patience and love they need. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same level of attention and compassion to every pet I watch. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I’m available most days and fully flexible, I'm pursuing a degree and have class Tuesday and Thursday from 9am–12pm, but I’m available the rest of the day and all other days of the week. This gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and house sitting. I plan my day around pet care, so your dog always gets consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your dog is never put in an unsafe situation. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with foster dogs, so I know how to handle different personalities and energy levels. I always double‑check leashes, harnesses, and feeding routines, and I keep a close eye on your pet during every visit. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

“Aleksandra took great care of my cat Nutterbutter and she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away! Highly recommend and we will most definitely be requesting Aleksandra!”

“Literally the best pet and home sitter! Teal is so communicative and takes initiative. We received photo and text updates while away for the whole week. You can tell Teal cares so much about pets, but also the owners. Such a kind soul, will absolutely rebook with Teal in the future!”

“Nicole was so great with our Lucy! She really loved her like her own. Lucy loved the long walks and extra snuggles with Nicole around. Will book again!!! Thanks a bunch for the help while I was away!!”

Amanda D.

“Alice is fabulous! She was absolutely wonderful with our little morkie! She was caring, attentive, dependable and kept us updated while we were away giving us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the moment we met Alice that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility very seriously. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a spotless home! She even cared for my 97 year old mother while we were gone, running errands for her and helping with meals. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Alice!! She is an angel.”

“Marianne has watched our house & pups twice now! She is a great pup sitter as well as house sitter. We will continue to use Marianne when we are out of town!”

Rachel S.

“Jessica took great care of my pup, sent photos and updates, and left my home in tip top order. I would love to hire her again when I go for another trip.”

About: I have grown up around animals, specifically dogs, all my life! I got my first doggie, a yellow lab when I was around 7 years old. She ended up developing diabetes, so I have had some experience in caring for diabetic dogs such as when I had to give her insulin shots. I have loved dogs all my life, when I was little my dream career was a vet! I have a 6 year old golden retriever at home that we have had since she was a puppy, so a big reason I wanted to get back into dog sitting is because I miss her so much! I have experience with puppies, old dogs, big and small dogs, I have had many dog sitting jobs before, and when I was living at home I would normally help my mom who also had dog sitting jobs at our house! I also have taken care of a lot of anxious dogs, both dogs that I have had, have been very nervous dogs, and I have also taken care of a dog with severe anxiety. I am very patient and loving, and have had experience with many different personalities of dogs! I just recently graduated from GCU this past April 2026. I currently have 3 part time jobs, but my schedule changes weekly since two of my jobs are retail. My 3rd job I work Mondays and Fridays from 8am-4pm. Even though I am busy, pet care can very easily fit into my schedule, and I am more than willing to make it work! In my client's home, I will make sure to use everything that is provided for the doggie so that they have everything that they need + more! Whenever I am at the house, it is my priority that the animal is in my sight at all times, or I know where they are. I also make sure that water bowls are never empty, clean up after the dogs, and make sure the house stays clean, cleanliness is very important to me :)

“Nancy provided top-notch care for my puppy and cat while house-sitting. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness really stand out among the rovers I’ve seen so far. Highly recommend!”

Joshua S.

“Michelle was great. She helped me out kind of last minute and was very accommodating. Iso loved her. We will use Michelle again in the future.”

“Desiree was absolutely wonderful. I hate leaving my dog when I go out of town but he was in the best care with Desiree. She was very kind and kept me informed. She went the very extra mile with tidying up my place as it was a mess. I would highly highly recommend her to watch your dogs. I came home to a clean house and happy dog .”

About: I've loved animals since I was a kid — that's where it all started. Growing up with pets taught me how much joy and comfort they bring to a home, and that's exactly why I love working with them today. Every pet has their own personality, and getting to know each one — their quirks, their routines, the way they wag or purr when they're happy — is the best part of my job. I treat every animal like my own. I have 4 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, which has given me a solid foundation in daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping pets happy and safe while their families are away. I'm also trained to administer oral medication to pets, so I can confidently care for animals with daily meds or special health needs — giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in good hands. I'd love the chance to meet you and your pet! I absolutely love animals and right now I am pet sitting as my full time job as college allows me a flexible schedule to do so! I follow instructions to the T. I give them as much love as possible and maybe sneak them some treats every now and then. I make sure that everything is as safe and secure as possible as well for peace of mind.

“James did a wonderful job! Took wonderful care of my three doodles, and wonderful care of my home. I have one rescue that is hyper, anxious, and James was gentle and loving with her. All three of my dogs enjoyed James‘s presence, which is calm, quiet and gentle. I would highly recommend James! And I will most definitely have James come back when I need a pet sitter again.”

“First time booking with Dalila. She kept us updated and sent pictures of our pups. She captured their personalities perfectly and made us feel at ease. Very kind Rover sitter. Would book again!”

Michael C.

“Gigi was the kindest sitter!! She was very punctual and most importantly gave Greyzi all the love and attention she needed while we were away!”

Kate C.

“When Emily took care of my girl over spring break, I was nothing but comfortable the entire time being away from my dog. She was very loving and kind to her: always made sure her water bowl was full, fed her on time, walked her and let her sniff everything, but most importantly, Emily gave Jill space to get to know her on Jill’s terms. That’s important to me because she didn’t make Jill feel uncomfortable or pressured to like her, she let it happen naturally, and boy did it. I can’t recommend Emily enough, thank you!”
