“Vicki was AMAZING! She came over with a pen and notepad and took meticulous notes on the care of our home and pup! She kept us posted while we were away and left our home SPOTLESS. I’d use and recommend Vicki a million times over!”
About: I believe the animals we share our lives with are our family and life companions. They are individuals with their own personalities, likes, dislikes, and special quirks. I am able to meet each pet in whatever they need to flourish while their family is away. As an animal lover with 12+ years of experience, you can expect to return to a happy pet and clean house. As a graduate student, most of my days are dedicated to projects, studying and attending a couple of in-person classes. Additionally, I work part time a few evenings of the week as a line cook. I am physically active and can take your dog on multiple walks or outings throughout the day. Most of my studying can be done from inside the home alongside where your cat or dog likes to camp. I drive a large car which can carry medium to larger dogs comfortably for going to trails, dog parks, or walking spaces. Dogs and cats can expect daily intentional play time with their preferred toy and consistent feeding times. You can depend on me to pick up dog poop for a happy backyard and neighborhood, and to scoop up cat litter for an odor free house. I love snuggles so if your pet likes touch, they'll get all their cuddle needs met. I understand your house is your sacred place so it will always be one of my top priorities to keep it in pristine condition while you're away.
“Dustin is probably one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. He was so respectful, responsive and responsible. He obviously cared about our fur babies very much and was great at sending pictures, updates and any questions. If I asked a question he was very quick to respond. It’s awesome to come home to a neat house too. It’s great knowing we have a local sitter now, if needed.”
“Brittany is fantastic. She is a very warm person who put us at ease immediately during the meet and greet. Rascal was immediately at ease with her. She stayed in contact throughout the time. Rascal was happy and bonded with her. We will definitely use her again!”
“Bianca was outstanding! She house/pet sat for our two dogs while we were away for 10 days. We received daily updates and photos. She let us know details about the dogs and our house was perfect when we returned. Her experience with animals and understanding of behaviors is clear. Would highly recommend her!!”
“I have had Cheyenne house sit for me a few times. She is always wonderful, the dogs well taken care of and happy. The communication is great when anything comes up or needs an answer. Highly recommend.”
“Lily was great! Our dogs love basically everyone but they rarely feel at home enough to nap and snuggle with the sitter. We got lots of pictures throughout the day of them doing just that, comfortable enough to snuggle and nap all day. Definitely will have her watch them again!”
“Madison is amazing! She took great care of our pets and home and we were able to fully be present on our trip knowing everyone was so well taken care of. Would highly recommend her to anyone :)”
About: I have extensive experience taking care of dogs and cats. I've been taking care of pets in a house-sitting context for the past 16 years. I am extremely responsible and caring and will always put your dogs/cats/pets first. I love spending time with animals and I am happy to follow your instructions very carefully in order to provide the best possible care for your pet! I have experience caring for dogs with lots of energy and the need for long walks/park visits and I really enjoy taking them on these adventures! I have a special relationship with cats, where I am able to communicate well with them and befriend them easily. I am also great with plant care and keeping the house clean and in order. My schedule is flexible. I often work from home. I am a massage therapist as well so I often have lots of breaks where I can spend time with/check on your pet! I cannot take pets in my home at this time but I am happy to come to or stay in your home. My first priority is caring for the animals and making sure they are getting a lot of attention and have their needs for food/walks/play/cuddles met. I also am very clean and respectful in others' homes and will make sure that the space is well-cared for.
“We were so pleased to find Emily. She is kind and calm and was flexible with our changing dates. We appreciate her willingness to accommodate our short notice change of plans. She was even able to get our shy dog to snuggle! We would be very happy to have her come back.”
About: Hello! My name is Kara. I work from home so I have flexible hours to take care of your pupper. I can't have a dog where I live, but as a dog-lover, I so enjoy getting the opportunity to care for other people's pets. I've watched big and small dogs from beagles and french bull dogs to greyhounds, and great pyrenees. I have experience with old dogs, puppies, and everything I between. I can administer medicine as well. I'm happy to provide references from past dog sitting experiences. I'm looking forward to meeting you and you doggo. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions at all. I work from home, so caring for dogs helps me get away from my desk and outside. My ideal scenario is staying with a dog longer term (a week or more) so I can establish a relationship with a pup and get on their schedule. I am great at fitting into your dog’s routine and your home’s specific environment. Happy to accommodate any rules you have for where your dog can and can’t go, and happy to take advantage of parks, trails, yard space etc. Near your home. Also happy to take your dog on longer hikes if appropriate.
“Karen-Joyce did a wonderful job pet sitting for us on a long weekend trip! She was very detailed in learning about our needs beforehand, and very communicative. It's easy to tell how great she is with dogs. While this was our first time using Karen-Joyce as a sitter, we immediately felt confident after our meet & greet and had no hesitations. She left our house clean and the dogs were happy and well cared for! Definitely recommend :)”
About: If I could live on an “island of dogs”, I probably would. I’ve cared for my own dogs for more than 20 years and have always considered them family. Occasionally I helped friends with boarding. I recently lost my pooch, and while I’m not ready to welcome another one into my life yet, I deeply miss the companionship of a four-legged friend. That’s why I decided to join Rover: I have plenty of love and care to give, and I’d be delighted to share it with your dog while you’re away. I work from home and only need my computer, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I can be there for meals on time, regular walks, companionship throughout the day, and the familiar routines that help your dog feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m active and love walking and hiking, if your pooch loves to be active. If your dog prefers to curl up and nap, I’m equally happy to keep things peaceful and quiet. For those who enjoy playing but aren’t big walkers, I love creating simple games at home, such as hide-and-seek or finding their favorite toys. I’m responsible, committed, caring, and respectful of other people’s homes. I keep my own extremely clean and tidy, and I’ll treat yours with the same care. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog and home with someone else. My goal is for you to feel confident that your dog is safe, loved, well cared for, and receiving plenty of attention until you return. I work from home, writing a book, So my schedule is really flexible. I can top and pick up any time. I would be available to attend to all of your doggy needs 24/7. In your home, I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll pay close attention to feeding times, walks, doors and gates, and any special instructions you leave for me. I’m careful, responsible, and respectful of both your dog and your home. I’ll keep their environment calm, clean, and familiar, give them plenty of companionship and attention, and make sure they’re never left feeling forgotten. I also keep a very tidy home myself, so you can expect to come back to yours just as clean and cared for.W
“Birdie was absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our pup and was so easy to work with! She sent daily photos and our pup really loved her. We’ll be booking again and would highly recommend!”
About: I am an absolute cat person and I've been taken care of my in-law's cats and convinced my husband 3 years ago to adopt our own furr-babies. I will take care of your little ones as if they were mine. It is important that they are taken care of but it is also important that they don't feel lonely or left out. I will go the extra mile and spend time with them. Gaining their trust to get affection from them or play with them is key. I am happy to spend extra time with them with no extra charges. Cats affections are the reward! I am flexible in terms of hours and home office. If I know your schedule in advance I can work from home and take care of your cats at any time during the day. If your cats let me, I will play with them, cuddle them, and spend extra time with them. But the most important things are their feeding routine, making sure they're hydrated and to provide a clean cat litter box for their well-being.

“I am so grateful to Lis for her availability on short notice, her competence with my young-ish Rottweiler, her ability to absorb a lot of directions in a short amount of time, and her excellent care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rio En Medio
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 220 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rio En Medio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Rio En Medio walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rio En Medio maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rio En Medio choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 sitter 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
