“Brandon was a great choice to take care of our boys Del & Rio while we were away. He was very communicative, providing updates and photos each day. It's clear that he has a lot of love & compassion for animals and really makes a personal connection with them. It was nice to know he understood Del & Rio so well and they were in good hands. Thank you Brandon!”
“Rachel took excellent care of our Maltese and Havanese. She kept us up to date with regular reports and photos. We will definitely be using her again when we travel.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience! Chantal was incredibly patient and understanding with Sophie, who is a very fearful puppy and takes time to warm up to new people. She respected Sophie’s boundaries and made us feel comfortable leaving our pups in her care overnight. We really appreciated the updates and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Jordan stayed at our house for 5 days while we were on vacation. She did a great job taking care of the house and all our critters. Everyone was in excellent hands and we could breathe easier while being away from home!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets get the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime, while also keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
“I was absolutely comfortable having Desirae in my house looking after my furry babies while I was away and completely happy with the way she showed how much she cared for their wellbeing. She was always considerate, polite, responsible, and stayed in touch with messages and pictures to let me know everything was fine back home. I will contract her services again for sure next time I have to be out of town.”
“Thanks Ysla for the care of Oreo. Sending pics and updates were most appreciated Oreo’s care as an old dog was important to us. I know 12 days staying at our house was a long time to be away from your kitties 😊😊”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule, but I’m available for pet care before or after work and have more flexibility on my days off. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, or simply keeping them company. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions you provide. I’ll respect your home and your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Bailey was FANTASTIC! Punctual, loving to our furr babies, and respectful to our requests! Our return, we found our home emaculate and in perfect order! She will be our 1st request to any future bookings l!”
“Norma was absolutely great! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated. Roxy was super happy and clearly very well cared for! 🐶❤️ Norma also took great care of my house and left everything in wonderful shape. I felt completely comfortable knowing Roxy and my home were in good hands. I will definitely use Norma again and highly recommend her!”
“Our second time using Laurie and she was awesome again. We got an email about a possible water leak and she was able to investigate and check all the important areas for us. Very responsive! Thank you again for taking care of our pups and house!”
“Danni is an excellent pet sitter. She took great care of my dogs while I was away. My pups were well cared for and very happy! I appreciated the regular updates and her attention to detail! I will be using her again...highly recommended!!”
“With pretty little notice we were able to schedule Jenn. Our Great Danes immediately warmed up to her. Communication was constant and we felt safe with her watching our Great Danes at our house. Our girls appreciate her and we do too. We will look forward to using her again when necessary.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities for years, including raising and caring for my own dogs and puppies. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, crate routines, puppy care, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and exercise. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making each pet feel safe and comfortable while in my care. As of right now I am available anytime throughout the day as I am new father staying home watching his son. So as of now I am very flexible. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, scheduled meals, and bathroom breaks. I’m comfortable using crates when needed and carefully supervising interactions with other pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided.
“Hannah went above and beyond for our dog and treated our home with care as if it were her own! She updated us multiple times per day and was a true blessing to have found. We highly recommend her and plan to use her again in the future!”
“We love having Alexis stay with our dog! She’s so good with him and keeps contact with us while we are gone. We’ve had her stay several times and have always felt like she takes great care of him and our home”
About: I am an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a dog owner of three myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to board, feed, bathe, and provide attentive daily care for their dogs. My home features a secure, fenced-in yard where pups can safely play and enjoy their stay. I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, structure, and affection I give my own — ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I am here Monday-Friday and on the weekends as well. I spend a lot of taking care of the dogs and making sure they are well taken care of at all times. This is a very safe place, my dogs are very friendly and sociable, they will definitely enjoy having a visitor or visitors to play with while their parents are away for the day or for an extended period of time.
About: I have worked with dogs and cats for over 8 years! I love getting to know new pets, and taking it at their pace until they're comfortable with me. I have extensive experience in canine enrichment, and helping with basic manners (sitting at doorway, leash control, "focus".) I also am Pet First Aid certified! I can't wait to meet your fur-end! I'm currently working full time at a dog daycare/lodging facility. I can normally be free after 7pm any day of the week, and sporadic days off normally during the week. I am very passionate, gentle, and patient! I'm more than glad to accommodate your pet in any way necessary to ensure their happiness and comfort.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rio Medina is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,463 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rio Medina. 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 Medina 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 Medina 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 Medina 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Medina. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
