“Macy was wonderful with our dog Holly. She gave her the extra care and attention she needs being a senior dog. I highly recommend Macy and we will be using her a lot.”
About: Hi! I’m a physical therapist during the week and available for dog walking on weekends. I can also help during the week early in the morning. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve cared for many different pets, including dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, and a hedgehog. I previously had a deaf dog with special needs, which taught me patience and how to provide extra care when needed. I currently have an almost 12-year-old dog, so I’m comfortable with senior dogs as well. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog a safe, fun walk and the attention they deserve! I currently attend college and am on the soccer team, so I have plenty of gaps between my schedule, but nothing concrete enough for a full time job. I have large gaps between classes during the week and free weekends for the most part n I cannot bring dogs into my own apartment, as I am in a temporary living environment that does not allow pets. However, I am willing to help in any ways I can.
About: 20+ years of pet care experience. Growing up we had 4 dogs , 6 cats and a whole array of other critters. When it comes to pet sitting, drop by visits or just a quick walk, I’m your guy! I have a full time job that I work Tuesday-Friday 8-6. Im currently available Mondays, Friday evenings, Saturdays & Sundays. Holidays vary since I may be out of town I have two cats myself so ensuring a safe, clean environment is number 1 on my list. If there’s no mess or hazard, I’d ensure all essentials are either available or given at time specified. For example feeding and or medication time, along with kibble/ water restock. If there’s a list, follow the list lol
“Jessica took great care of Roxy while we were away. She was loving and caring. Jessica sent photos everyday and spent time doing Roxys 2 favorite things. Treats and brushes. I will be booking Jessica next time we go out of town!”
“Rachel is obviously an animal lover and it shows. She took great care of our fur babies. She tended to them, dispensed meds to my elderly one and took the time to play and spend time with them. We got lots of silly pictures and felt content because we knew they were well taken care of.”
“Lorianne did a great job taking care of our cat, Winnie, while we were away for 5 days. Winnie can be anxious, but Lorianne was patient with Winnie. By day 2, Winnie was rubbing on her. Lorianne sent daily pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot recommend Jackie highly enough. I think I will plan my trips around her calendar!🤣😍🤗 Joplin and Jett know when the bags come out and I tell them Jackie is coming to visit, they are so 😎 with that.”

My schedule is very easily adaptable and I am able to work with clients to adjust my availability according to their schedule and their pets needs. I am able to stay with pets as much as needed and provide enrichment and basic needs whenever necessary. Pets will be cared for according to their specific needs and owners requests.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life since I was a little girl. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies to old age dogs & pregnant mommas dogs. I’ve learned how to train them to walk on leashes how to crate train them and train them on command. I’ve worked with dogs Who’ve had many health issues as well. I have plenty of patience for happy, excited puppies, and plenty of love for calm lap dogs (even if they aren’t really lap dogs). I am a stay at home mom of 4 & im in school part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’ll be free mostly anytime. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space . I do have dogs on my property, they have their own rooms for sleeping and playing . I live on an end street so not much activity happens on my street, so we’ll be able to talk walks as well . I also can crate them if needed .
“Samantha was sweet! She made our first experience easy and stress free. She answered all my questions and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. My pup loved having her come visit and play with her! We will definitely be booking Samantha again!”
“Lauren was able to accommodate us on very short notice. She showed up on time, kept the dogs entertained, and even brought them treats. Although we did not ask for pictures, she sent some to let us know the dogs were doing well. Her enthusiasm for her work and love of dogs was evident from the moment she walked into the house; three of our dogs have visual or hearing (or both) impairments, and she was more than able to effectively communicate with them. We highly recommend Lauren.”
About: Hello 👋 I'm a huge advocate for animals and appreciate the companionship animals offer to us. I'm a mother to two beautiful toddlers. I take the time in helping comfort cats & dogs to make them feel at home! Please message me for any questions or concerns. Thank you 😊 I'm working from home so I have the time and capability to give plenty of attention to my furry guests. I have a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of space for walks. I have a peaceful and clean home that is very welcoming to pets. I usually ask the owner what their feeding schedule is and follow it precisely. I watch for cues when dogs have to go outside.
About: Owned and taken care of animals since I was little. Cats, dogs, other mammals/reptiles. Great with dogs no matter the energy or temperament, I can get them to feel comfortable. Besides caring for my son after school and summer camps, I have free time most of the day to do any checks or walks as long as it's not overnight/late night. I can care for them with provided toys/food/area or I am capable of taking them on walks if they need time out farther from the house. I know older dogs may not want to play fetch but still need to walk around the block a bit. Also cleaning if the owner has the area and supplies is no issue, I love giving dogs a bath.
“Samantha was amazing, she took great care of our cat while we were gone. She arrived on time, was very responsible, and our cat was happy and healthy when we got home. She made sure his food and water was fresh every day and she sent pictures and communicate with us on his daily situation. I would highly recommend Samantha to watch anybody’s pet. We will definitely use her again the next time go out of town.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rio
Jessica did great her first time with my cat and bunny. Her communication is impeccable and she gave them their full half hour. I couldn’t even tell I’d been gone when I got home— no messes to clean and the boys were content. I will be booking Jessica in the future for sure! 😻
This was the second time having Monica watch my two cats while we went on vacation and she always exceeds expectations. I got a ton of pictures of my babies daily, lots of communication and generally made my vacation better because I didn’t for a second have to worry that my cats were okay. She deserves every single 5 star review she has.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rio on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 682 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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 sitter.
