House Sitting in Rio Nido

“Nicole is an absolute gem of a house and pet sitter! From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing my cat, Arrow, was in such caring hands. She sent sweet photo updates every day—each one a little love note from home—and responded to my messages with lightning speed and so much warmth. When I returned, my house was spotless, cozy, and serene. Nicole had even washed and made the bed, which felt like the most thoughtful welcome home. Arrow was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored—his energy said it all. It’s rare to find someone so kind, attentive, and respectful of both your space and your beloved pet. I would wholeheartedly recommend Nicole for any house sitting or pet sitting needs. She’s a true caretaker, and I feel so lucky to have found her!”

“Rithy was soo great! It’s been years since we have had a dog sitter for our baby and Rithy made us feel very comfortable leaving our senior boy at home with her ❤️ She gave him lots of love, walks and treats and we came home to a happy boy. We will definitely be scheduling Rithy for our future trips away :)”

“Lynnette is one of the best I've seen with animals. My dog Mavis is a retired service dog. She is temperamental and slow to warm to people. Lynnette is the first person I've seen Mavis interact with who could sit with and pet her, in the first 5 minutes. Mavis was so at home with Lynnette and tried to guard Lynnette when I arrived to bring her home. Lynnette played, walked, and relaxed with Mavis. She sent me updates, pictures, and videos of Mavis having a wonderful vacation. She has an enclosed yard that allows dogs to safely explore outside. I highly recommend Lynnette!”

“Rachel did amazing watching our 2 dogs in our home over a long weekend. Our dogs seemed very happy and she was able to get our extremely shy and timid dog out on a walk on the first try! She also left our home the exact way it was when we left. We’d gladly rebook Rachel again 😊”

“Andrea takes such good care of our dogs - we just got back from a four day trip- Andrea sent us pictures and updates everyday on the dogs. I think they will miss her, so I feel bad for them now! As well as being great with the animals, she is very respectful of our home. Thanks again, Andrea! We are so glad we found you!”

“Mayan was absolutely fantastic. Bonded so well with our dogs, played with them and handled all their needs. She took great care of our house and cleaned before leaving. Best ever!”

“We absolutely adore Micki! She loves our pups as much as we do and understands them even more! Our newest rescue is super anxious and needs a bit more TLC and she delivers! My husband’s truck had some mechanical problems today and was running late and she was flexible enough to not leave them alone. THANK YOU!”

“Luna R has sat for my 3 fur babies twice now and she has done an amazing job both times. I know that while I am away, my animals are safe, healthy, happy, and so loved! She is the best!”

“Jamie is absolutely incredible, my dog doesn’t always take well to strangers but he and Jamie were pals from the start. Jamie made us feel comfortable when leaving our fur baby for the weekend and we will definitely be using Jamie’s services again!!!”

“Lauren is simply the BEST! I wouldn’t think of using anyone else. I know my Luna and Juice (dog and cat) are in the best, most loving hands! Thanks again, Lauren!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with a lovable dog named Marley (in my profile picture). At just 10 years old, I started walking dogs around my neighborhood, and that grew into a passion for pet care. While I’ve mostly catsat over the years, I’ve also had the unique experience of snakesitting! Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I love all animals and treat every pet like my own. My schedule is currently open and will be until this upcoming school year. My other passion is working with children and i’m planning to be a substitute teacher starting this fall! I grew up with the notion “leave the place better than you found it.” I’m very aware of leaving a clients home nice and clean. I’m not afraid of picking up pet messes and i’m very good at putting things back where I found them. I pay close attention to care instructions as I believe it’s important to keep a pet on their familiar schedule.

“Eddie, does a great job and is very conscientious. In all the great pics he sends my animals seem very happy. I appreciate how he prioritizes the needs of my animals.”

“Savannah did a great job with my dog Lucy. Savannah stayed overnight. Lucy can be quite destructive when left alone and is also a strong dog. Savannah did great with her.”

“Veronica is wonderful! She treated my pets like her own with love and attention. She's very professional as well: great proactive communication, attentive to all the care details, asked all the right questions, and was very responsive during the stay. I can't recommend her enough.”

“Wendy was so great with our two dogs, 8 chickens, and fish! I highly recommend her! She responds quickly and sends lots of updates. This was the best Ive ever felt leaving my animals! Thank you Wendy!”

About: Hi! I’ve been dogsitting and walking for the last 5 years while i’m in college! I specialize in smaller dogs but also have cared for bigger dogs as well! I am a Nursing student at the SRJC currently on Summer Break. My availability is open through the Mid of August. I can also care for your fur animals beyond August ! I respect the wishes that each client has towards the care for their fur baby :) I am available during the week and weekends summer time !

“Brittany is a wonderfully kind and thoughtful sitter! She took excellent care of my cat and my home while I was out of town. She is the first sitter I’ve ever entrusted and I was absolutely delighted with her updates and photos. I came home to a happy cat and tidy apartment which looked exactly as I had left it. Brittany is a gem!”

About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs my whole life. Growing up on a ranch, I was constantly surrounded by pups, some mine, some rescues, and all full of personality. I’ve cared for big dogs, nervous dogs, high-energy goofballs, and everything in between. I used to have a Great Pyrenees and a whole crew of German Shepherds, and now I’m just really missing having dogs around. I always follow any feeding, walking, and medication instructions to a T, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I don't have dogs at home right now, so your pup will get my full attention without competition or stress. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone calm and loving to hang with, I’m your girl! I work full-time from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which means I’m available for evening check-ins, walks, or playtime during the week. I’m also free most weekends and would love to spend that time hanging out with your pets. Whether it’s a quick visit, a post-work walk, or some weekend company, I’m happy to help however I can! I know firsthand how important our animals are—they’re family. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone new with your pet. That’s why I go above and beyond to make you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. I treat every animal like one of my own and make it a priority to follow your routines exactly, so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved in their own environment. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always respectful of your home. You can count on me to show up when I say I will, give your pet the attention they deserve, and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going.

“Sheryl house sat/ watched our dogs for a few days. She did a great job, sent us updates/ pictures which was nice and the dogs seemed to enjoy their time with her. Will definitely check with her anytime we are in need of a dog sitter.”

About: I have been dog sitting for years but started Rover in 2022. I started out caring for my two pugs and cat, and have been sitting for family, friends, and folks on Rover. I am currently working as a flexible overnight nursing assistant, so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pet! The rest of the days I am here to help, so they can get all the love and attention they can get while you’re away! When I am at a client’s home I make sure fencing is secured if needed. My home has a fence as well. I also make sure they have enough place to play whether it could be inside or out. I prefer to be outside with them! I love being active with animals but if you’re pet is somewhat a couch potato OR old, I can comfort them in whatever way they feel comfortable.
