“What a relief to not have to worry about my precious kitties when I’m away! Rachel is a knowledgeable cat sitter. She is professional and responsible. She always interacts with my kitties, including with my surly cat Rory! She is unperturbed by his bad attitude!”

About: My family has always had animals around pets and always had friends with dogs and cats. Since I was 14 have been taking care of family pet and pets of friends when they go out of town. Well, I’m currently working a full-time job looking for some extra cash and I have some free time on my hands so anytime after 4:30 would be most ideal I’m an attentive pet owner with daily experience caring for my own 4-year-old cat. I offer cat-only boarding in a cozy, feline-friendly home stocked with plenty of scratchers and extra litter boxes. For dogs and other animals, I offer drop-in visits and house sitting in your home. I am exceptionally detailed when it comes to strict feeding routines, specialized diets, and daily grooming.

“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! 😻”

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 drop-in visits or just a quick walk, I’m your guy! I have a full time job that I work Monday-Thursday 8-6:30PM. Im currently available Friday, Saturday & Sunday. 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

About: Hello! My name is Avalon ! Since I can remember Ive owned cats and dogs. My current animals ranging from a 13 year old senior, to a fresh 1 year old frenchie ! Im aware and very cautious with allergies as mine have many . I’ve always loved all animals like they were my own, enjoying every moment of cuddles and play. Im currently part time and new to the Florida area which leaves me with extra time to care for not only my own pets but yours as well ! With a dog friendly car, trips for a walk in the park for new scenery won’t be an issue or local walks around the neighborhood. As I meet new fur friends and family’s I like to do a walking check in all yards to ensure the safety of the pets as they go out to explore . You never know what could come up or what could be found better safe than sorry! Keeping a close eye is my specialty as I treat all animals as my own. I follow careful instructions as you know your pet best !

About: I have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, including my own as well as dogs for friends, family, and clients. I have primarily worked with small to medium sized dogs, but I also have experience caring for larger breeds. I have cared for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs, including my own dog who lived to be 17. I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs. I have experience administering medications as needed, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and routine are for older dogs. I am very reliable when it comes to following schedules for meals, walks, medications, and daily care. Communication is very important to me, and I know how reassuring updates can be for pet parents. I am happy to send regular messages and photos during visits or stays if you would like, so you can feel confident and at ease while you are away. Whether I am house sitting, stopping by for drop in visits, or taking dogs on walks, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means playing, walking, or simply providing companionship. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Please see my cat care bio for more information about my experience caring for cats as well. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and give pets the time and attention they deserve. I am able to plan my days around feedings, walks, drop-in visits, and companionship, and I prioritize being present and attentive during each visit or stay. I have experience managing pet care alongside remote work, so I am comfortable staying in the home and maintaining routines while ensuring pets are never left without proper care or attention. My schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and consistent, whether a pet needs regular walks, multiple daily visits, or overnight care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on safety, consistency, and respect for both the pet and the space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any household guidelines. I make sure pets are always secure during walks and visits and keep doors, gates, and leashes properly checked. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, comfort level, and any special needs, especially for senior pets. I maintain a calm and familiar environment by sticking to their usual routine and providing companionship, playtime, and attention at their pace. I also treat my client’s home with care and respect. I keep the space clean and tidy, handle litter boxes and feeding areas responsibly, and make sure everything is left as it was found. I communicate regularly with pet parents and provide updates and photos so they can feel confident that their pet and home are in good hands.

About: My 14 y.o. Japanese Chin/Pekinese is in heaven now I and cared for him since he was a puppy. I trained him using the methods of "The Dog Whisperer". I also learned how to do dog massage from Linda Tellington, author of TTouch Training. I've also cared for chickens, pigs and rabbits. I prefer small dogs, as they are easier to care for in many ways, and I enjoy having them sit on my lap and sleep with me. I am very sensitive to the needs of animals and am able to understand the body language of them. I will care and love your pet like it's my own. Try me! I'm retired and can care for your pet anytime at your house. I don't do boarding as I have a roommate that has a pet and would involve her approval. I spend time playing, walking and chilling with your pet. I like to give treats and have them sleep with me if you permit it.

Rachel was amazing. She took great care of my two cats and spent extra time playing with them. She sent a lot of photos and I felt better about being away with her checking in on them. She also messaged when needed. Communication was excellent.

Macy does a phenomenal job pet sitting! She listened to all instructions and went above and beyond what was asked of her. I was notified every time of her arrival and departure from my home to take care of my cat. Every visit I was given a detailed description of the pet sitting session and received many photos and videos of which were better than most my own! Would absolutely have her pet sit again and would recommend her to anyone who needs her services.

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Rio

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rio is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 188 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 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 Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
