“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: Hey everyone! My name is Kelsey and I live in Stuart, I have been dog sitting for the past 4 years now with Rover. I've had dogs since I was a kid, sat for others and fostered for a few weeks as well. I have experience with all age ranges of dogs, including giving medications to senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra care. Looking forward to gaining regular or one time clients! I work part-time at a golf course, shifts are typically 6-8 hours and out early. I work 3-4 shifts a week, aside from that I'll be home with your pet or available for morning/evening drop ins! I do prefer to meet the dog and owner prior to first drop in or walk just to get a better feel for what the dog will require.
“Megan is a wonderful dog sitter she's reliable our babies love her how she manages to get a picture of Angel the cat says a lot. Thank you for being there for us when we need you.”
“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 had dogs all of my life in both my parents and grandparents houses. I am well versed in both senior care and puppy management. I am currently on break for the summer before I move to college. I have a lot of time to care and love for your pets whenever you need. I have a fenced in portion of my yard suitable for smaller dogs, and a nice neighborhood for walking larger dogs if needed. I also have two dogs a Jack Russell and a Shih Tzu to play with your pet.
“Robert is great with my dog. He treats her very well. Makes sure she gets her walk rain or shine. Robert keeps me updated with everything going on and is a great communicator.”
“Met Aaliyah prior to the walk and gave her information on Paco. She was super receptive and reassuring. Day of walk, she arrived on time, communicated well, and even reach out to verify rather than ignore it. Super appreciative of her help. We plan to use her again in the future.”
“Jackie was a total life saver! I’m a travel nurse and I work long hours overnights. Jackie bonded with my girl Tessie (who has her quirks, and is a total puller/jumper!) and worked with my schedule to make sure Tessie was getting walked and exercise before going to bed and first thing in the morning. She went above and beyond (and even left a magnet with a picture of her and Tessie on my fridge!). It was such a comfort to be at work and see my girl out enjoying herself. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, who communicates well, and who gets along with all types of dogs look no further. Thank you again Jackie! We wouldn’t have made it through the past few weeks without you! -Holly & Tessie”
About: I am recently retired from a successful career in corporate sales, and have a broad background in caring for animals, from having had dogs all my life, to volunteering at the Big Dog Ranch Rescue in FL, to over 10 years experience pet sitting dogs, cats and birds. I currently do not have any pets and miss interacting with them... providing walks, love, affection and playtime! I am highly professional, trustworthy, and reliable. Rest assured, I will take care of your pet(s) as if they were my own! Will provide references upon request. I am fully retired so am available for house and pet sitting, as well as drop-in visits for walks, feeding, play time or giving medication. In client's home, will always check surroundings to make sure there's nothing to cause injury or harm. Will treat the pet and property as if they were my own.
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: Devoted to Paws and Claws: With a Heart for Senior Dog Care and a Home Full of Big Dog Love, I Offer a Unique Blend of Compassion and Experience Tailored to Your Furry Family Member’s Needs. Trust in My Hands-On Expertise with Special Needs Canines and My Personal Dedication to taking care families and friend pets. On my free time I also volunteer at Petsmart once a week. On a normal week, I balance nursing school and my per diem job in assisted living. In my free time I enjoy volunteering at Petsmart. I frequently care for various dogs and ensure their safety and comfort by keeping them separated initially and introducing them to each other gradually. I understand that both dogs and cats need time to adjust to new people and environments, so I prioritize giving them space to feel secure and warm up at their own pace. Creating a calm and stress-free experience is my top priority, ensuring that every pet feels cared for and comfortable.
About: I consider myself lucky to have grown up in a home with cats and dogs- I have never NOT had a pet! I have experience in caring for animals with medical conditions after having a dog with epilepsy and severe allergies. I have also been fostering kittens for the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast since 2019 (as of November '25 I've fostered over 40!) and I'm very comfortable with giving oral/topical medications after fostering kittens with upper respiratory infections, wounds, and ringworm. I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule, so I have availability for multiple visits a day as needed for drop-ins! I do foster for the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, so for any cat boarding requests I need *at least* 2 weeks notice to ensure I don't have a foster at the time of boarding to ensure a safe and healthy environment for a boarding cat. At this time I am unable to board dogs, but will update if that changes. In a client's home I am happy to adhere to your rules/requests/restrictions to ensure your pet's safety. In my own home I have a kitten apartment built with plastic panels for fosters, but within a day or two they always gain their freedom to roam my condo! I am very careful before opening exterior doors and my condo is permanently kitten-proofed, so your cat or kitten will be safe, well cared for, and adored during their visit with me!
About: Hi, I’m Catherine, a lifelong dog lover based in East Port Saint Lucie! I grew up surrounded by dogs and truly believe they make life brighter and more joyful. Not long ago, I said goodbye to my beloved Shi Tzu, with whom I shared countless long, adventurous walks—so I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pet like family. I offer reliable dog walking and in-home pet care for pups of all sizes (0–101+ lbs). Walks can be tailored to your dog’s needs, from quick potty breaks to fun, energetic strolls of 20–45 minutes. I’m also happy to provide plenty of playtime, belly rubs, fresh water, and updates to keep you connected while you’re away. Since I currently work from home, I’m flexible and can accommodate early morning, midday, or evening walks. Weekends are completely open, so your pet will get the attention they deserve. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or a seasoned adventurer, I’m here to make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently work from home, which allows me to offer flexible care for your pets. I’m available for early morning, midday, or evening walks during the week, as well as full availability on weekends. My experience walking my adventurous Shi Tzu taught me to tailor walks to each dog’s needs—typically ranging from 20 to 45 minutes. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your dog into mine, I will treat your space and your pet with care and respect. In your home, I’ll follow your routines and preferences to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where your dog’s needs and habits are fully catered to. I take safe, scenic routes for walks, avoid busy streets, and ensure every outing and visit is tailored to your pet’s well-being and happiness.

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.
