Top rated Rio doggy day care sitters

“David has an amazing environment for the dogs and his demeanor and care for them is awesome. We love taking our two dogs there weekly and they start going nuts when we are about a mile away!”



“Hands down one of the best sitters I have found! Ruby treats your dog like her own with care and attention. I received updates and pictures, which calmed my nerves about leaving him. When I picked him up the next day he was all bathed and did not want to leave. (What dog wouldn’t with all the other animals and space to play) Ruby is hands down the best, and I will always go to her!”


“Daisy and Paige love going to Erin’s…they love everyone who lives in the house too as it just means more attention to them 🤣 You know it’s a good fit when they run to their door to get in 🤗🩷 Thank you Erin and Evie too!!”


“Korie took great care of my dog Wolfie. Her response was fast to my request for daycare and Korie’s dog Ozzy played well with Wolfie. They even went on three walks too! Wolfie was a very relaxed pup when I picked him up. Thanks Korie!”


About: I have grown up with dog in my life, Walking them is my job, also my work out. 1 miles at least walk per walk. I grown up with big dogs , walking them is the best way to waste their energy. Also add some work out on my own. For visiting, I work in the 8am-4:30pm , during weekdays anytime before 8 or after 4:30 pm will work for me. On the weekend I usually I can walk them anytime. I live in an apartment I do believe that if you walk him well enough (longer distances, let them smell around) they don’t need a yard. I walk my dog at least one mile per walk. I also play with them at home to make sure they are good to go.

“Susan and Molly provided the perfect stay for our pup while we were away. They were very communicative and sent lots of cute updates. They took him on walks and clearly went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable - he came home a tired and happy guy. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter - book with confidence!”


“Kim and Jacob are simply the best! They treat your fur baby like their own and I’m so grateful for the play time and attention my pup gets throughout the day. She comes home exhausted from playing in their beautiful back yard with sweet Appa”
