House Sitting in Rio Communities

“Jenelle is amazing! They are so sweet and gentle with animals. They currently live with a myriad of pets and they take care of each and every one of them so well and thoughtfully. They are full of love, patience, and understanding for animals. Anyone who hires Jenelle is in good hands and would not have to worry about a thing!”

“Chiara cares for my two dogs, Ruby and Spinel as if they are her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care. No matter the dog, she demonstrates patience, experience, and respect. She has also helped reinforce training, housebreaking, and even taught my chocolate lab how to shake paws and give a high five! When my dogs are in her care, she sends me frequent updates and pictures which I love. Do yourself a favor and hire Chiara J. to take care of your doggos today!”

“Lauren was a delight! She watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat for 2 weeks while we were away! She took care of all our animals very well ell and sent many pictures each day. She was accommodating to the doggies routine and even extended watching the animals on short notice when our flight home got delayed. Will definitely reach out when we need pet sitting again.”

“Jarred is awesome with animals. He is the only person I trust to watch my dogs while I’m out of town. He is very reliable, responsible, prompt, caring, and loving with all animals. He has a huge heart and loves all animals especially dogs.”

“Teresa is an amazing and attentive dog parent and the only person that I ever trust to dog sit for me. She loves spending time with animals and they always naturally graduate towards her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that may be wary of trusting others to take care of their pets.”

“Cameron is a great guy and to see him interact with his dog and others dogs is great. He seems to just see in them what they are in need of. I trust him with my dog and home. He and his dog have been to my home on multiple occasions and he is good with all. Tim S”

“I had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved pets to Hannah's care, and I must say, she is an exceptional pet sitter. From the moment I met her, it was evident that Hannah has a genuine love and understanding for animals. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put my pets at ease, and they formed an instant connection with her. Throughout the entire pet sitting experience, Hannah demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism. She was always punctual and went above and beyond to ensure that my pets received the best possible care. She followed all the instructions meticulously, including feeding schedules, medication administration, and exercise routines. I was particularly impressed by her attention to detail and her ability to adapt to the unique needs of each of my pets. One of the things that truly stood out about Hannah was her proactive approach to pet care. She took the initiative to provide regular updates on my pets' activities, including sending me adorable photos and videos. This thoughtful gesture not only reassured me but also allowed me to feel connected to my furry friends while I was away. I highly recommend Hannah as a pet sitter to anyone seeking dedicated, reliable, and compassionate care for their furry companions.”

“Karli was great at communicating with us and our animals. Will definitely ask her again to stay with our dogs, chickens and goats,”

I am passionate in learning about different types of animals and the needs of your pet. Pets tend to feel more comfortable with me as they spend more time with me and I learn their routine. My main goal is always to make the owner feel comfortable in addition to their furry friends. I'm currently in school for Nursing. I also work part-time, so I'm free to spend time with your pets most of the time! I am available throughout the weekend to help take care of your pets. I follow your pets routine throughout their day. I am very patient and calm for pets that may be a little more timid and nervous to new people. I maintain safe environments for animals and ensure that they are properly taken care of. I address concerns as they arise and send updates of your pet throughout my visit or stay.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Mara ten stars, I wouldn’t hesitate. Mara spent an entire in-home week, here. We, my family, have not gone on a vacation in years. We live in the country with 4 dogs, 4 parrots, a group of parrotlets, an old german owl pigeon named Hootie, 2 Sulcata tortoises, 3 aquariums, 1 Honey bunny, & a small flock of free range bantam chickens. I explained all of this to Mara prior to our meet and greet & gave her every opportunity to “run for the hills,” so to speak. To my surprise, she wanted to meet with me. Mara was more than willing to put in the extended period of time needed for our meet and greet. She welcomed the learning experience & embraced the challenges of what it takes to care for our multi species family. I was particularly concerned in regards to our parrots (Eclectus, African Grey, Dusky Pionus & Blue Crown Conure). I was worried Mara would find them intimidating. I was worried about her level of confidence, handling them & meeting their emotional needs in our absence. I had nothing to worry about. Mara asked tons of questions, and I watched her interact with them. With her positive energy, they accepted her almost immediately. And, with all of the feeding, I did my part to help set her up for success. Our dogs absolutely adored her & Mara adored them. She let them sleep with her like we do! She spent time with all of our companions. Throughout the week, she sent pictures that reassured me it was ok to have fun void of home worries. Mara has such a great disposition & attitude. She’s so positive and upbeat. Because of her, I DID enjoy a week off. She did such a great job for all of our companions. And, she kept up with the house & kept it clean. I cant imagine ever hiring anyone else to care for our large crew. I would highly, highly recommend Mara to anyone. She takes pride in her work & in the happiness and wellbeing of those left in her care. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you so so much for all of your above and beyond Mara!”

About: Hello my name is Kristina, what sets me apart is I have over 10 years of experience in caring for animals, I bring a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. My background includes providing care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to more delicate senior pets, ensuring they get the attention and care they need at every stage of life. Additionally, with my sister being a licensed vet, I have access to professional veterinary guidance, so your pet will always be in safe hands, even in case of emergencies or health concerns. I also have experience in training puppies and helping them develop good habits early on, as well as providing special care for senior pets that may require more attention. Whether it’s giving medication, administering injections, or providing gentle, extra care for arthritic pets, I am well equipped to handle it all. My goal is to offer not just pet sitting, but peace of mind to both you and your pet. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, and I always prioritize the well being of the animals I care for. Every day, I set aside time to ensure pets get the exercise, play, and attention they need. I make sure to stick to a consistent schedule for walks, feeding, and potty breaks, so pets feel comfortable and secure.

In my 🏡, I ensure that all areas are pet-friendly, with secure spaces for both play and rest. I have a fenced-in yard where pets can run and play safely. I make sure to keep harmful items, such as chemicals or small objects, out of reach and maintain a clean, pet-safe environment. If I am caring for a pet in their own🏡, I respect their space and routines. I make sure to follow the pet's usual schedule, from meals to walks, so they feel as comfortable as possible in their own environment. I also take great care in pet-proofing the home, ensuring that there are no hazards, and I’ll follow any additional instructions from the pet owner to ensure the pet feels secure and loved. Whether at my place or theirs, I prioritize trust and safety by keeping a close eye on the pet, offering plenty of attention, and remaining proactive in any situation. I aim to make every pet feel like they’re at home, safe, and loved, no matter where the care takes place.

“Absolutely amazing person and sitter! Samantha stayed at our home while we were away. She kept us up to date and took care of our boys as if they were her own! Our boys were even a little sad when she left! She also washed the sheets in the spare room where she slept, took the trash out, and left everything so clean! She followed the instructions we gave for the pups perfectly. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again! Thank you!”

“She was great with my group of fur babies! We have 4 larger dogs she was able to take charge and keep them in order.”

“Tanya was fantastic! She was communicative and took great care of our 11 yo lab mix. She also took great care of our plants and the rest of the house. Will definitely book again!”
