“Macy has been awesome. I work as a firefighter and am away at work for long hours and have to have reliable caretakers for my #1 pup while I am gone. My german shepherd can be dog/people reactive when on his leash, so that adds to my stress while I am away. Macy showed up for a meet and greet and was well prepared to find out if her and my pup would be a good match. She communicates and responds to requests fast, even last minute ones! She takes care of my pup with great care and attention. Overall she is great and hopefully will be around to help me and my pup out for a while! Highly recommend.”
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have always had a special love for dogs. I grew up with three family dogs, giving me years of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own with patience, love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I can easily work pet care into my daily routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring and reliable hands.
About: I’ve always loved animals since I was young, watching all the pets in my neighborhood starting at 10 years old. I have over 100 volunteer hours at vet rescue clinic. I have 1 senior dog that I understand the care that comes along with that and the need of wanting to leave them in good hands when you aren’t home. I also have another younger high energy dog that comes with the need of many walks, paddleboard rides, and playtime to get all their energy out. Big dogs are not a problem as also I grew up with a mastiff. I am currently a university student, so I have plenty of free time when I am not in class. Most of my free time is in the afternoon or weekends. Just message me what works best for you and I am sure I will have time to accommodate that. When caring for your animals at your home I will treat them as they are my own pets. I want to be sure to match their routine so they will be comfortable at all times. Fresh water will always be available, along with tons of love and affection. I will be sure to keep you update as well with photos and text messages so you know your dog is happy while you are not there. My goal is to provide not just basic care, but exceptional care making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved until you return home.

About: I have a passion for animals that is evident in the way that I love and care for all as they are my own. I have had experience with all kinds of animals and I am dedicated to providing the best care possible. I have personally owned a golden retriever puppy and a senior golden so I have experience with all temperments and sizes. 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.
“Billie is absolutely amazing! It was so comforting knowing that Billie would be there for them when I was unable to. Billie always sent photos and videos of her visits and ALL of my babies looked happy and loved! Billie definitely goes the extra mile, not only for my babies but to bring peace of mind to myself!! I will definitely call on her any time I need assistance!!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 4 years and have grown up surrounded by dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly treat every pet like family. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pet and provide attentive care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week at flexible times, and on weekends I’m available before 7 AM and after 2 PM. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, and consistent weekly schedules to help keep your pet’s routine smooth and stress-free. You can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and communicative. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is carefully supervised and pets are always kept on a secure leash during walks and potty breaks. I never allow off-leash time in unsecured areas.
About: Hi! I'm Savannah, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of an 8-year-old Black Lab. Spending time with dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I'm happy to provide a safe, fun, and caring experience. I treat every dog as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family member! I am free any day of the week! I would love to take care of your dog whenever your dog needs to be taken care of! My dog at home is walked twice a day and taken out every two hours. His water bowl is filled up every two hours and he gets lots of love!
“Bernadette is wonderful! She is great with my pups Marty & Bernie. Bernadette was extremely helpful when I moved to the area and was settling in and needed someone to walk the pups while I work. 5/5 would recommend!”
About: I believe they will see that I will care for their dogs as I do my own. My boy "Jax" in the picture, he took his last run on 12-17-2023. Miss him dearly. RIP My angel! I grew up with Poms and went on to the large breeds once I was on my own. Germans shepherds, Newfoundland, English Mastiffs, Afghan Hound and a Great Dane. I am a dog and animal lover PERIOD. I really should have been a vet, vet tech or maybe even a zoologist! But I'm happy just to spend time with the dogs. I have house broken and trained all my dogs personally to basic commands and even some tricks. Some dogs are verbal and some are visual. Not all dogs are the same! That's why I LOVE them SO much!! ~ Reba I own a small Swimming Pool Service Company and have for 20 years. I no longer work in the field I occasionally go troubleshooting jobs or meet with new clients. So I'm semi-retired and home quite a bit I don't really go much of anywhere. I have a fenced-in yard, bordered by bamboo and lots of sniffing/hunting areas. However, they are never left unattended. I'm always outside with them. There is also a pool for the swimmers and a grassy area for just for playing.
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.
“Katie was punctual and professional in walking our Maxie Pie and we are grateful to her for our not having to worry about Max’s potty breaks. Many thanks Katie. We’ll call on you again.”
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.
“My Bailey and Nora LOVE their Lauren!!!!! Lauren, you truly have been a blessing to us! She has great communication and will always keep you up to date with your pups while you can’t be with them!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rio
Macy is more than just a dog walker, she puts her heart into taking care of your fur babies.. from the first interaction of her asking for an “intro visit” to make sure the animals & her were a good fit (even brought a questionnaire that asked all and any questions that would make her do the best visits possible) to daily photos to in-depth descriptions of how the walks/ animals were. I 10000% would recommend Macy over and over again!
Tiffany was wonderful with our fur baby! She was very accommodating, punctual, and our dog loved her. She kept us posted on their walks. How far they walked, where they walked, and what he accomplished. She also sent a picture of the dog at the end of the walks. We would highly recommend Tiffany, and will be requesting her to take care of our dog in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Rio on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 1,503 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 Rio.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 Rio. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
