About: I have owned dogs all my life! I have breed and shown dogs. Most of my friends are dog friends I met through our common interest in dogs!

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.
About: I’ve been a dog lover and pet owner my whole life, and I truly believe our pets are part of the family! I’m a military veteran, so I understand the importance of responsibility, dependability, and trust. I’m patient and comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors who may need a little extra love and attention. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands! Pet care is more than just part of my daily routine; it’s something that brings me genuine joy and fulfillment. ❤️ Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I organize my daily and weekly schedule around their needs, making time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love and affection. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, even when their family is away. Building trust and forming a personal bond with each pet is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. For me, pet care isn't just a service—it's a commitment to loving pets like my own. 🐾💕 I provide personalized, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own homes through drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I can also administer medications as needed, following the pet parent's instructions, and I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs who may need extra patience, gentle care, and a little more attention. As a lifelong animal lover and pet parent, I understand that every pet is unique, and senior pets often require a little extra TLC. Whether it's a leisurely walk at their own pace, help maintaining their daily routine, medication administration, or simply sitting beside them and offering comfort and companionship, I believe the little things make the biggest difference. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved fur babies in someone else's care. My goal is to build a genuine bond with every pet while giving their families peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving dependable, compassionate, and personalized care. To me, this is more than a job—it's a commitment to loving pets like my own. ❤️🐾
“Sydney was great and I could tell Jefe loves having her company when she would check in on him. She was on time and communicated well. I wasn’t worried my entire trip away. I would definitely trust her to look after him again.”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was in elementary school. I now help my mother with her animal rescue that she owns. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs and cats, injured pets, seniors and everything in between. I have fostered and found adopters for years, and even kept a few "fosters" (oops). I have always wanted to be involved with some kind of animal ever since a young age. I'm very comfortable around any pet. I also have children who have been raised around pets since they were born; they are definitely use to animals and are learning to treat them with respect at a young age. I would be thrilled to do something as simple as sit and love on your dog or cat! I'm currently a student and SAHM so I'm fairly flexible with my schedule. I do have to pick kids up from school and drop off in the morning but I am basically free during that time and evenings as well. I am happy to receive detailed instructions left by owners. I like to care for pets the way their owners would care for them! My dogs are my kids just like my human kids, so I understand how important this job is for everyone that uses rover.
“Valentina takes special care and attention to our dogs. She is reliable and provides excellent notes regarding her visit. We will continue using her great service!”
About: I've had dogs and cats since I was born and familiar with all types of breeds. My wife and I volunteer at a dog rescue and the Humane Society and understand how important animals are to their owners. We also try and get shy or quirky pets as they need special loving but we want to be able to help all animals I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can work any day at any time and have no issue with doing things during "off" hours I have a fenced yard with 3 dogs (2 big mutts and 1 small chihuahua mix) who are very friendly with other dogs. I walk all 3 dogs once a day already and can provide that service at either house
“I can’t thank Jaylene enough for the amazing care she gave Jellybean while I was away. She was dependable, attentive, and treated him like he was her own. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Jaylene to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you again for loving on my little guy!”

“Timothy was an awesome dog sitter. He came through last minute and was able to take excellent care of my 2 dogs, Stella and Sassy. He updated us frequently on the well being of our girls, asked questions regarding if Sassy was a grazer eater, and played with our girls while we were out of town. I would definitely hire him again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rio Medina is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 2,471 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rio Medina. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Medina. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
