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: 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 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.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for family and friends’ pets. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication if needed, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive, and loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I always follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away, and I’m happy to provide regular photo and video updates for your peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special care your pet needs. I take the time to earn each dog’s trust, keep them in a safe environment, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. You can count on clear communication and regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
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: Hello there! I have hands-on experience caring for a puppy for around two months, including helping with daily routines, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and basic training. I also volunteered with PAWS for Reading, where I helped with reading dogs and learned the importance of patience, consistency, and making animals feel calm, comfortable, and supported. I’m dependable, attentive, and careful about following instructions, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, or any special routine your pet needs. I’ll treat your pet with care, respect, and attention like they’re my own. I am currently available at any time that suits your schedule. Kindly go ahead and book an appointment with me, and I assure you that I will respond to your request in a timely manner. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I keep a clean, calm, and supervised environment, follow care instructions closely, and make sure pets have what they need throughout the day, including attention, routine, and gentle care.
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).
About: Hello, my name is Chantal and I have always had a love for dogs and animals as a whole. As a kid I was raised in a home where we never once went without a dog in the home, so you could say I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. And as a fellow doggie parent I understand that the comfort of dogs always comes first. Though I don’t have career experience with pets, I have done dog sitting in the past for family friends which included a wide variety of breeds and different temperaments. Although I don’t have professional experience with dogs, I hope to give all dogs the same level of love and care that I have since I was a child. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which means I have most of the day to take care of my pets needs, including walks, feeding etc. As a dog walker I would love to offer that time to help take care of someone else’s pets needs for some good exercise and comfort. I currently live in a two bedroom apt with a balcony, but no backyard, so I always make sure to walk my own pets in a timely manner so they can have their potty breaks comfortably. I have access to a vehicle so I would apply this to any dog I visit to walk them, regardless of wether that live in an apartment, or a big house with a backyard.
About: I have trained several dogs and cats, I will bring toys to play and cheer your pet up! Fun furry times! Take trash out. Water your plants and check your mail. I can bring in packages and newspaper as well. I work from home and have plenty of time to have playrime with your cat or dog! I can brush, scoop litter.I can bring mail I will come to your house to care for your animals! I can also give medications. I'm a pet lover! Your pets are my priority

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Rio
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in El Rio on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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
- 95% 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.
