“Vicki is nice, responsible and respectful. Our kids and house were in very good hands which made our trip flawless. All of the pups and cat are in great shape. She is very appreciated.”
“Oliver is amazing! He was incredibly patient with my shy, slow to warm dog Tulip. I am super grateful for his friendly professional attentiveness and meeting with us 4x before the actual dog home sit days to get to know her. She bonded after the 5 nights with him. A very heart-warming successful Rover experience. So relieved to have a dependable and local dog sitter. Wr highly recommend Oliver!! 🤍🐶”
“We booked with Stephen for house sitting to care for our two dogs, Tasha and Sadie, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. He kept in regular contact with us and was incredibly attentive to our pups. Being away was so much easier knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. We had complete peace of mind the entire time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Stephen again whenever we can!”
“Mona did an excellent job taking care of our home and our pup. Our pup was calm and relaxed when we returned home. She looked like she hardly missed us, lol. We’d definitely recommend Mona’s services and will request her assistance again.”
“Cheyenne was awesome! She filled in last minute (during Christmas no less) and was totally flexible with my wacky travel plans. I never worried once about my pups, she was always sending pictures and updates. She also helped out with general house stuff (watering plants) and my house looked neat and tidy with clean sheets when I got home. When my dog destroyed her toy, Cheyenne got her another one, so sweet and thoughtful! I would definitely use her again!”
“This was just an incredibly comforting and calming experience for us, as the first time we've left our little baby girl with someone else. We got amazing updates, even poem like updates, and pictures, and great, warm feelings.”
“Dawn was great! She has a great space for dogs and clearly has a lot of experience. We felt comfortable that she was taking great care of our girls. We got regular updates and photos throughout their stay. Definitely recommend!”
“Campbell did a great job taking car of our 3 pooches. It was great to see the photos of them during their daily walks and getting snuggles. Thanks, Campbell, for helping us feel secure on our trip that our dogs were well cared for!!”
“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!!”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life and first started dog sitting as a teenager. I love animals and getting to know their individual personalities and how much joy they can add to our lives! Having the peace of mind that your fur-baby is safe and happy while you are away allows you to enjoy your trip to the fullest. I work part time remotely and pet care will easily fit into my everyday routine as I set my work hours and as such they are flexible I will provide whatever care is required for your pet’s wellbeing with love and patience. Whether they require special care, or just need a friend to walk around the neighborhood with I am happy to help!
“Karen-Joyce is a gem. I live out of town on some acreage, down a dirt road, with lots of animals and goings on. She handled everybody with ease, caught on quickly to house rules, and showed just general confidence and sense on how to run the house. I felt confidence when I left on my trip! When I came home, everybody felt happy, settled, and the house was clean and organized. She is adaptable, communicative, responsive, capable... I strongly recommend her. Thank you, Karen-Joyce!”
“Lis was absolutely fantastic! She took phenomenal care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats and sent the most wonderful daily photos and updates. And she left the house cleaner than when she arrived! Just the BEST and I give her my highest recommendation!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rio En Medio
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 224 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.
Tip: 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio En Medio. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
