“I had a wonderful experience with Molly! She was caring, reliable, and attentive. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in such good hands.

Currently working Pitman schedule. Let me know what days you’re looking for and I’ll see if I can make it work! Always open to discussion Great with dogs love getting out of the house and taking walks around the island especially in the fall/spring on the beach. Great with all breeds.

About: I am an experienced dog sitter and lifelong cat owner with a passion for animal care and wellbeing. I am currently starting my career in zookeeping, where I'm developing my knowledge of animal welfare, enrichment, and positive reinforcement training. I even use positive reinforcement to train my own cats at home! Whether caring for dogs or cats, I strive to provide a safe, enriching, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I'm happy to accommodate a variety of scheduling needs and will do my best to work around your routine. I am detail-oriented and will carefully follow your pet's routine and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by ensuring your pet receives the same attentive, loving care they're used to at home.
“Caroline is our go to girl! We are so fortunate to have met her! This is the 3rd time she has watched our babies and we will always see if she is available whenever we make travel plans.”
“Marlena is fabulous, extremely professional and truly cares about the quality of her work. She updated me with each visit with adorable pics of my two digs and played with them for an extended period of time when it rained too hard for them to go on a walk. She even brought in packages that were at my doorstep and straightened the house. Marlena is a keeper and my pups are excited to have her as their caretaker!!”
About: I’m located at the shore and often work with those who want dependable attentive care for their pet. I have a 1 year old Cavapoo named Louie! Pet care is built into my daily routine. I’m home consistently throughout the day, so I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, and activity schedules. I prioritize structure and consistency to make sure each dog feels comfortable. I focus on creating a calm environment so pets feel comfortable right away. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their dog’s normal routine and preferences to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m very attentive to behavior and adjust as needed, and I always keep owners updated.
“Jill was phenomenal!! She has so much love for all animals. From the meet & greet to the end of our vacation Jill was wonderful to both of my cats. She would even search every time for my skittish cat just to talk to him and make sure he was alright. She kept me completely in the loop with texts and pictures the entire time. She even helped clean up after a shelf happened to fall off my wall. I highly recommend Jill and really hope she’s available for our next trip. Absolutely wonderful experience!!”
About: Since I was 11, I have taken care of dogs from having them to helping friends and family who own them. Dogs are my world! I am a teacher full time and during the summer I assist my friends who have dogs and I take care of them and more. My house has a fenced yard and I provide dogs treats when they are good and feed them on a scheduled time as well walks.
“Great job, as always! Taz is relaxed and happy when we get home, so we know he had a good experience with Mary. And she sends a picture every visit which helps keep us relaxed, too!”
About: I have dog sat for other people before and I absolutely love animals. I have 5 of my own animals that I love with all of my heart. One of them is a puppy right now. I have experienced little dogs, medium dogs, bigger dogs and puppies. I’ve learned a lot through my own trial and error early on with my own dogs. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently working part time and I have time in my day to make sure your pet has all the love and attention it needs. Since I have 5 dogs it would preferably have to be in the clients home especially the first few times so I would be able to connect with the dog.
“Bridget was great with my 2 cats! My one cat, Finn doesn't always do great with eating while I'm away so I usually check him with my Ring. That unfortunately didn't work so well with spotty phone coverage in Europe. I did get through to Bridget once and she assured me that all was well. The kitchen was clean and the trash was taken out. Thanks Bridget!”
“Sicilia (Sisi) took excellent care of our super picky, very shy cat, Luna! She was communicative, provided detailed updates, and sent lots of photos. She was extremely patient with our sassy but sweet princess, and made sure Luna had all the things she needed while we were gone. It definitely made us feel more comfortable leaving to know that Luna was in great hands! We will definitely have Sisi back the next time we need someone to watch Luna!”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets, and I have always loved caring for all animals. From friends to family, I’ve done it all in caring for them I can take of all pets during the days.

About: I have always been a big animal lover! Growing up, I was the go to caretaker for friend’s and family’s pets when they went away! My schedule is flexible so I’d be happy to make room for walking or checking in on your pets! I usually go on two walks each day, so I would love to have company.

Katherine was great. All my instructions were followed and I got my cute daily pictures! She kept in contact if her schedule varied and the kitties were fine when I got home. It's nice to not have to worry when you have a great, responsible person caring for your kids!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rio Grande on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 508 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rio Grande. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rio Grande stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 98% 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.
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.
