About: I have always cared for and love dogs. I enjoy walking dogs for relaxation and exercise. I can take your dog for a walk or a jog depending on their level of fitness. I also offer home visits which includes walking, playing, and basic care. If you have any questions at all feel free to contact me through phone or email. I have had a great experience working for rover and I wish to help you have a great experience too! I work during the day, but my husband and dad are at home during the hours I am gone. I can provide walks in the morning before work or the evening. I enjoy walking, playing fetch in the backyards and providing plenty of attention and pets. I am good at following directions regarding individual pet needs.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since a very young age. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and even a turtle and many more animals I work from home, and my job is not demanding, so I am able to lend a hand with whatever your pet needs from me! I give my dogs fresh water every morning when I go out to read and also watch one of my cats as it rolls around the hot cement and smells the grass.

I was happy with our decision in choosing Pauline to take care of our 3 cats. She sent us updates and pictures of them and always checked in to see if we needed anything before she left. It’s hard having to leave your pets alone for a while but having her check in on them made me feel better about it all. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for next time :)

About: I am currently a dog dad to 1, but have 8 more at home of all breeds, energy levels, and sizes; so I am very well equipped and knowledgeable in pet care. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time playing with and tending to all types of animals. I currently work from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. So I am available before and after those times and fully available on the weekends. I typically spend 1 hour (minimum) with the pet in the morning and 1 hour (minimum) in the evening with overnight stays as needed. I am ready to adhere to any rules or needs for all pets. Whether I let the dog out to pee and spend the rest of the time with them sitting on my lap, leaving a door open for timid dogs to cross whenever they like, or spending time playing fetch or other activities outside.

About: Whether you would like your pup taken on a walk, your guinea pig visited with, or your cat needs a trip to the vet, I’m your gal. Living on a farm since my childhood and now owning one myself has given me more than ample experience with a wide variety of animals to include, horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, cattle, pigs, alpacas, llamas, cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, turkeys, chickens, guinea hens, peacocks, and even exotics like kangaroos and camels. My services include, but are not limited to: Dog walks, cat visits, feeding, administration of medication, holding horses for the farrier, paddock and stall cleaning, transportation to and from the vet or groomer, plant watering, mail pick-up. Any services not listed that you need customized to the care of your pet can be arranged. I have great flexibility to meet your scheduling needs based on my bookings. For holidays I recommend reserving services in advance. I do schedule 24/7 at any hour if I have not been previously scheduled. I treat every animal as if it is my own pet taking extra precautions to ensure their safety and eliminate any cause for a dangerous situation to arise.

About: I personally trained my own Puppy Snowflake, and in the process I got trained myself on how to train them. I love playing with them, spending time with them. I am currently not doing a typical 9 to 5 job and that gives me the flexibility to do what I love the most, which is spending time with pets. I would play with them, keep them active. Take them out for walks and feed them based on requirement. I will keep a constant watch to ensure they are safe.

A star sitter for sure! Kristie took great care of my pup over a long weekend! She was a natural at bonding with my super shy puppy and was even willing and able to help train her. She kept good communications up for every visit so I had peace of mind that my dog was in good hands and administered her meds on the day she needed it. She brought over some good lookin cookie treats and gave my pup a new favorite toy! Kristie also took care of my chickens and I when I came home, my place was left in way better shape than I left it! She went above and beyond for sure and she was also super cool and fun to chat with! I will definitely call Kristie next time I need help with my pup!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Rio Hondo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 108 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rio Hondo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Hondo. On Rover:

  • 77% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
