“Daniel is so wonderful! He was so patient with me when I was a dummy and sent him the wrong address to my grandpas house that resulted in him driving around for 30 min. He took great care of our pups while we were out doing a bike race as a family. I can’t recommend Daniel enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets at once. Some in my home and some at their home. My friends and family have relied on me to help them with their pet. I’m currently open to any sitting right now since I’m currently not working. I have a lot of time on my hands to help out. I am a stay at home mom. I do not have any pets of my own. I have a fenced back yard. Not too big but big enough for furry friends. Furry friends are welcome in my home as well and on the couch.
About: I speak fluent English and Intermediate Spanish (this comes up a lot!) As a fellow traveler and pet owner, I know how important it is to have the right person caring for your fur babies. Each pet we visit first, to ensure we are a good fit for them and for you. We are a local family run business, a business built on trust and reliability. We ensure not only is your pet happy, that your house is cleaner than you left it. It's all part of our service. If your dog is staying in our home, we will treat them as our own; including snuggles, play time, walks and more. I can administer medications, provide fun activities and ensure your pet is as happy as can be while you're away. This is what I do, besides home services. I have a very flexible schedule. I'm open 7 days a week and happy to work with your schedule and needs. I offer in home care for small to medium size dogs that get along with cats. My house is completely fenced with a potty area for pups. We NEVER leave dogs unattended, whether at your home or ours. At your home I follow your instructions to the tee. I also ensure your home is accident free and as clean, if not cleaner than you left it!
“Bob was great with both of our babies! I felt totally comfortable while being away, knowing they were in good hands. He was good with communication and updates and left our house very clean. We will be having him watch our babies again in December. Thank you!!”
“Joanna was amazing! My typically shy dog loved her immediately which made it easier for this nervous momma leave without worrying. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of friends and families dogs since I was a kid. I have had dogs of my own. I am semi-retired, so I will have lots of time with your dog. I have plenty of time on my hands. So I’m happy to have a dog to hang out with. I’m semi retired so I can conform to a pets schedule. I have a fenced back yard and love to play with dogs I pet sit. Your dog will be treated like they are my own.
“Hannah went above and beyond in every way! Not only did she take amazing care of our lab puppies, but she also left our home spotless. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating with my husband’s crazy work schedule, which made everything so much easier for us. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the pets she watches. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We will definitely be using Hannah again—highly recommend”
About: Hey friends! 👋 I grew up with three dogs, where my love for animals began. There were always plenty of them nearby (mostly cats and our family dog along with neighbors’ dogs). As a late teen, I worked at an animal hospital, where I learned more about how to properly care for the animals (walking, feeding, bathing, etc). If I care for your fur babies, they will be treated as part of my extended family! Additional experience includes: - administering insulin injections -providing a calm and safe environment for overly anxious pets -caring for elder pets that might require extra attention and/or need hygiene assistance. Direct access to community greenbelt and easy to access walkways. Treats n extra play come included! I am currently working part time remotely. I have a lot of extra time to care for your fur babies because I create my own schedule. brick fenced yard with sliding door open to have even more space. super fun, private, safe, and quiet! perfect location to relax from the nearby busy area and peace of mind knowing the neighborhood is enclosed. I will be holding myself to the highest standard when your dog comes. Wherever, you may be, this is the solution to an stress-free trip or vacation. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, don’t be afraid to leave me detailed instructions! I know how important it can be to stick with a certain schedule, and that animals thrive in comfortable, safe environments.
“Amy was super attentive and caring towards our sweet boy. Great communicator as well as fantastic at sending a few photos and updates while we were gone…that gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and we could fully enjoy our time away. We fully trust her and will book again in the future. Thank you so much, Amy!”
“Jasmine was wondeful!! Our animals love her and had a great time while we were away. Jasmine was great about communicating with us while we were gone, and the house was just how we left it. I highly recommend Jasmine!”
About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of furry animals for several years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other furry companions, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs, personality, and routine. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! I’m available every day for pet care and would love the opportunity to spend time with your pets! I have a daytime work schedule during the week, but for house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home, care for your pets in the morning before heading out, and return after work to continue their routine and spend quality time with them. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they continue receiving the care and attention they’re used to. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’ll make sure your pets receive consistent care throughout your time away, including meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to keeping their environment clean and making sure everything is left just as I found it. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel as comfortable and secure as possible in their own home. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to provide reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of reassurance. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like they’re my own while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning if needed, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure the home stays neat and send updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rio Rico on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 50 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rio Rico. 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 Rico 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 Rico 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 Rico 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
