About: Having worked in dog and cat boarding and veterinary care, I am well acquainted with the specialized care and dedication that our domesticated friends require. I have worked with senior dogs, I am comfortable administering medication and following complex instructions, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with and providing quality care for animals. Additional Animals: I not only have years of experience working with domesticated dogs and cats, but I also possess a degree in Exotic Animal Training and Management and have worked with many species of birds, small mammals, and reptiles- including snakes and turtles. Other skills: I have experience with basic obedience training. I can provide stimulating and fun enrichment to occupy your pets. I am punctual, reliable, and honest. I am currently working part-time, so I am flexible to your needs. My availability is pretty open for home visits and walks during the day. Every pet family has their own routine, and I am fully capable of caring for your animals exactly as you prefer: preparing meals, companionship, walks, administering enrichment and/or medication, and potentially basic training.
About: I really focus on making pets feel safe and at ease by sticking to their routines and respecting their personalities. I’m calm, patient, and very attentive. I treat every pet the way I’d want someone to treat mine: with consistency, affection, and respect for their space and needs. I’m home often and keep a consistent daily routine, so pet care fits in very naturally. I plan my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet time, and I’m always mindful of sticking to a pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure. I always want to make sure your pet sees me as a companion and not as an intruder. I treat your home and your pet with a lot of care and respect. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, make sure they feel comfortable and loved, and give them the right balance of play, affection, and calm time.
“My dog is having a great time on his walks! He gets very excited when he sees Vaida come to the door! We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience and recommend Vaida highly. Very professional and very friendly....loves the dogs.”
About: Hi! I am a pet owner for over 14+ years. Cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, turtles, and fish, I’ve had them. I’m so happy to say that all have lived happy lives with so much care and love from family. Plus tons of my family members are vets so I’ve had the amazing opportunity to meet different animals and learn all about them. This allowed me to understand animals and cater to their needs rather than be confused and let them be. I’ve also taken care of 3 cats, 5 dogs, and 3 kids all at once, so I believe I’m pretty trustworthy and responsible haha. In my house, your animal is like my own and will be given all the love in the world. Regardless, I always put pets needs over mine because they are the special creatures in Life that need all the love and care they can get :)
About: I have been raised as an animal lover. I’ve grown up with pet(s) my entire life. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots, parakeets, guinea pigs, fish, and iguanas. It’s safe to say I’ve lived in the jungle. I started to professionally care for pets in 2022 while I was in college while housesitting, the most up to three dogs over the course of 5 days. Since then, almost every time, I have supervised and cared for pets simultaneously while house sitting. I would also babysit (6mo-5yrs old) while also caring for the dogs/cats at most to 8 hours. In total, I have provided palliative care for 4 senior dogs now, ensuring that the ends of their days are full of love, care, and reassurance. I also have experience caring for a dog with anxiety and administering medications when instructed to. I’m currently in school but working part-time, so I have extra time to spend with your furry baby! I am usually free in the mornings everyday before 3PM, then anytime after 6PM on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am personally a nanny / pet sitter who believes in appreciating the space but leaving no trace when it comes to caring for an animal in the owner’s home. I understand the level of trust that is given to me to care for your animal let alone being with your residence, so I do take that very seriously.

So I have an open availability to care for your fur babies I will cater to any of your dog’s needs since they are unique in their own way and each dog has its own routine, I will follow their routine to make them feel safe and comfortable.
About: with a lifelong passion for animals and over four years of dedicated pet care experience, I have provided hands-on care for dogs of all ages. My background includes feeding, walking, bathing, and pet sitting for family members, ensuring each pet receives proper attention, exercise, and love. I’m currently working a part-time job, but I have plenty of free time to care for dogs and cats. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for pet sitting walks in general care. During overnight pet care in your home, I will ensure that your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for, maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide feeding, playtime, and exercise, as well as attention to any specific needs your pet may have. I will also respect your home, keeping it clean and following any instructions you provide regarding security, house rules, and routines. You can trust that your pet and your home will be in caring and responsible hands.

About: I’ve been taking care of exotic animals for about five years now in a zoo or sanctuary setting however within the past three years it has been specific to exotics cats such as tigers and lions. I have a deep passion for animals and find so much joy being able to help them in any way that I can. Not only did I work with exotics during that time but domestics as well such as dogs and cats and even on occasion rabbits. I have a lot of experience giving medications and dealing with difficult animals. I am excited for the opportunity and to help more animals! I’m currently working part time but my schedule is pretty flexible as long as I have enough of a notice, I can make it work anytime during the week! I have two boxers, a chihuahua and two cats at home and treat them as if they are my own kids (because they are) I will treat your babies the same! I believe that just because animals can’t speak for themselves doesn’t mean they don’t have a voice and I believe it is our job to take care of them to the best of our abilities and to be their voice. I have experience crating, giving medication, and with difficult dogs or cats. I can help in any way for your babies to make sure they feel safe and comfortable!
About: I love to make animals feel cared for and loved, i have some experience with puppies. Animals tend to feel comfortable around me. i’ve always been an animal person my whole life. I am currently trying to find jobs to save up for a car and to ultimately find my own place of living. I am not working any job as of right now so my schedule is pretty open. 11am-4pm are good times for me. I treat every animal with respect and care. nothing less. I am not looking to have any pets in the home i have right now because it’s not the best environment for a pet (as to why i am only looking for taking care of your pet/s inside your own home).

Ariana is such a good dog walker and sitter. I trust her 100% with my dogs and my house too! I have never let a stranger in my house. I came home from being out of town and my house doesn’t smell or I didn’t see any poop or pee. My dogs are perfectly happy with her. Thank you Ariana! You’re the best.
Charisma has been walking my Doberman for the past month and she has been great. From all the shifting around of days, she always comes through. My dog adores her as well, he gets so excited when she picks him up. My Doberman is very active and Charisma jogging with him is helpful. I do recommend Charisma

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your El Rio. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in El Rio.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in El Rio. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
