“Macy is the absolute best!! From the very first time I contacted her, she responded immediately and arranged a meet and greet. This young lady has such a calming demeanor, patience and genuine love for animals. Our dog Marley is 1 year old and was a little shy at first. This was no challenge for Macy, she had such a calm approach with Marley who soon warmed up to her. I wouldn't trust my dog at this point with nobody else. I am so happy we chose Macy because with there being so many dog walkers to choose from, you just never know! I highly recommend her because she is such a joy. Very prompt for Marley's walks, communication, and just a genuine nice person who goes above and beyond to give you superior service!! Keep up the good work Macy and for taking care of our Marley!! It doesn't get any better than you🙂”

About: I would love to care for your fur babies while you are away or working! I am a responsible and active person and will do everything I can to keep the pets as taken care of as possible like they were one of my own. With having labradors my whole life and now a 6 month old lab/shepherd puppy myself, I am used to high energy and the responsibility that comes along with dogs. I work from home which makes it even easier to be available throughout the day. I also have about 8 years of experience loving on cat friends as well! I work from home so I have availability to stop by when I’m not on a call and take care of your fur babies while you’re away or at work as well If I was to go to your home, I would treat your pet and home with respect and reliability. I want you and your pet satisfied with my care!
“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 was a kennel supervisor for 8 years. I have sat neighbors animals and family friends animals. I am a Registered Nurse of 30 years! When your pet stays at my house they will be treated as if they were my own. I have an 8 year old black lab Fin who gets along well with all dogs. Your dog will not be in a crate. They are free to roam my house and lay on the couch and cuddle with Fin 🐶❤️. Daily walks are a must ! I have a fenced back yard where the dogs can freely go potty and play. I never take more than 2 dogs at a time so your pup will get the individualized care they deserve . I currently work part time and there are always people home! No matter what hour or day we are here to provide the most optimal care! I will feed them, play with them, walk them, and give them all the attention they need as if they were my own dog 🐕!

About: I have owned 3 cats in my adult life and 3 dogs (German Shepherd and 2 Greyhounds). I love walking dogs and exploring new paths around neighborhoods! I have taken care of elderly cats and dogs, including giving medications. I currently cannot have pets due to my community rules, so I would love the opportunity to love your pets! I am retired and am available most of the time even on short notice. I love dogs and cats but cannot have them where we live unfortunately. I can only care for pets in their own home due to our condo regulations. I will abide by my clients wishes for safety and the environment.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since childhood. Growing up, my family always had at least one cat and one dog in the home and my siblings and I were responsible for caring for these animals. I have always had some sort of pet since then. Currently, I am mother to my pride and joy: an 11-year-old Yorkie. He is an older dog now and sleeps a majority of the day. I am looking for other pets to keep me occupied as I work from home. I will be considering them my new coworkers. 😊 I currently run my business from my apartment. I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself. I have plenty of time to care for dogs and board in my home. I am open to different situations in the home. I live in an apartment building with many dog owners. The apartment is attached to a dog park and there are many larger dog parks in the area.
“Heidi was amazing! She came on short notice. Extremely professional and took great pictures and videos. Would trust her again with our animals and would highly recommend!”


About: Hey I’m Camila! One that set apart from other siters is that I grew up on farm rising animals so taking care of animals have been part of my life as long as I can remember. Being around different types of animals made me comfortable with all types of pet personalities and temperatures. After moving to Florida I started volunteering at the humane society where I got in depth training on cats and dogs behavior and how to properly handle and care for them. Well right in college so I don’t have a set schedule or a job so I’m basically home all day except for Wednesdays and Thursdays that because I have class in the afternoon. I care for any animals as if they were my own by making sure there happy, comfortable and loved. I followed all instructions to a T because I understand the importance of why the instructions are there in the first place and how important routines are to pets!

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for dogs—including having a Husky and two Yorkshire Terriers of my own—I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs at different life stages, including both young and senior pets, and I know how important it is to tailor care to each individual animal. Whether your pet needs plenty of exercise and high-energy play or simply calm companionship and reassurance, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. As a sitter, I am reliable, punctual, attentive, and compassionate. I prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being and physical safety while maintaining a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. I also understand the importance of following routines, respecting instructions, and keeping owners informed while they are away. In an emergency, I remain calm, assess the situation carefully, contact the owner promptly, and prioritize veterinary care when necessary. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I look forward to getting to know your furry family member and giving them the care and companionship they deserve! I’m a full-time online student working toward my bachelor’s degree, which gives me a flexible schedule compared to a traditional in-person student. I can easily plan my schoolwork around pet care and make sure I have dedicated time for each pet. As long as I have time to complete my homework either before or during a pet stay, I’m happy to spend extended periods with your pet. This flexibility makes me a great fit for overnight stays and house sitting, especially for owners who prefer having someone stay in their home with their pet. I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly while still being present, attentive, and available for your pet throughout the day. My schedule allows me to provide companionship and care while also maintaining my school responsibilities, making overnight and longer stays especially convenient for me. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow the routines and instructions their owner has provided. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pet comfortable by maintaining their normal feeding, playtime, bathroom, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For overnight stays and house sitting, I’m happy to spend extended periods in the home so pets have companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. Since I’m a full-time online student, I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly from the client’s home while still being present and attentive to their pet. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner.
About: I have over 14 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, along with 8 years of dedicated pet sitting. I currently work at a dog park and dog daycare, where I supervise group play, handle different temperaments, and ensure a safe, structured environment. I’ve cared for everything from extra large breeds to small dogs, including puppies and seniors. I also have experience with rehomed dogs and understand they may need extra patience and consistency. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training, and maintaining routines to keep dogs happy and well-balanced. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently work part-time at a dog park and dog daycare, where I spend my time caring for and supervising dogs of all sizes and energy levels. This has made me very comfortable with structured schedules, feeding times, walks, and consistent care. Because I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet sitting, including drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays when needed. I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and routine they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive to behavior and surroundings, making sure pets are always secure on walks, properly supervised, and never put in unsafe situations. With my experience working at a dog park and dog daycare, I’m confident in reading body language and handling different temperaments calmly and safely. I treat every home with respect—keeping things clean, organized, and just as you left them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

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: Hi there, I’m Kam and I live in Stuart with my family while I’m finishing my college degree. I’m a huge animal lover and I’ve always had dogs, cats and various other animals in my life. I enjoy the responsibility of caring for them and giving them the best life available. Every wag, happy dance, and silly personality and what makes your pet feel safe and comfortable is a pleasure for me. Keeping them happy, content and not stressed while their favorite person is away is one of my favorite job perks. From daily walks, feeding, enrichment and playtime, I feel it’s all important and am happy to help where I can. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities because I believe every pet deserves individualized time. Cats hold a special place in my heart because they are judgmental and loving, all at the same time. I am also comfortable around aquariums “fish” and small pets as well. I can offer in-house pet sitting, daily drop-ins and can even take them to a park if you would like additional outdoor time for them. Whether your pet is an energetic playmate, a shy sweetheart, or a senior who needs a little extra patience, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone else. I’m an organized person that pays attention to the little details that are special for each pet. I’ll care for your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I will consistently send photos and updates so you can see exactly how your best friend is doing. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for your consideration. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and have built into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, an evening walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and responsive. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule whenever possible Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your routines, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I treat my own and make sure everything is secure before I leave. Communication is important, so you will receive regular updates, photos, and messages after every visit. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands.
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 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rio
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,479 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.
