About: Animals deserve the best of care at all times, even when their families can't provide it at all times. From dogs who love to cuddle and hate the outside heat to dogs whose energy never reaches its end, there is one way or another to break our 'species' barrier and connect~ Walks can take any length of time multiple times a day, usually I always have treats with me on walks and work on the dog not pulling on it's leash and doing occasional sits and 'look at me's. House sitting is usually better for me on weekends if required overnight, but my schedule as a remote worker and student is very flexible <3 I’m currently working as a dog trainer, it is my main source of income. I also have a service dog in training which I constantly work with and have cared for multiple pets through out the days fitted into my schedule. I am always doing my best to keep a watchful eye on the dogs while allowing them room to adjust to me and their environment . I encourage freedom and play in dogs with safety in mind.

About: I attended veterinary school and have a strong passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I’m outgoing, sweet, and very patient, which helps me build trust quickly with pets and their owners. I have experience with feeding routines, administering basic care, and recognizing when something isn’t right. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra attention or reassurance. I also have two dogs of my own—one I’ve raised since a puppy and another that I adopted—so I understand the responsibility, love, and attention pets need every day.

“We absolutely love Thomas!! Jingle learned so much when he is with her. Thomas is very patient and explains everything he is doing while he is working with jingle. I would highly recommend him if you have any concerns over training your new puppy or even a dog that's a little bit older”
About: I’ve had the privilege of raising my Doberman since she was a puppy, which has given me extensive experience in training, socializing, and caring for her as she grows. I’m well-versed in managing her high energy levels through regular exercise, play, and training sessions. I’ve developed a strong bond with her, understanding her needs for mental stimulation, positive reinforcement, and structure. From her puppyhood to adulthood, I’ve cared for her every step of the way, learning how to meet her individual needs—whether it’s adjusting exercise routines, maintaining a healthy diet, or addressing behavior issues. I’m committed to providing consistent care, love, and attention to ensure she remains happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. Pet care is an essential part of my daily life. Each morning starts with a walk to help my Doberman burn off energy and set the tone for the day. After feeding her, we spend time training, playing, or engaging in mentally stimulating activities. Throughout the day, I make sure she has opportunities for exercise, whether it's a backyard session or a game of fetch. On a weekly basis, I adjust her routine to ensure a mix of physical activity, mental stimulation, and relaxation. I set aside time for grooming, health checks, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I also stay on top of her diet and adjust exercise based on her energy levels, always making sure she’s balanced and happy. Whether it’s early mornings, mid-day breaks, or evening wind-downs, my dog’s needs are woven into every part of my routine, creating a structured yet flexible schedule for both of us. Whether in my own home or a client's, I provide consistent, loving care. I follow familiar routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and training—ensuring pets feel secure and happy. In a client's home, I make sure their pets are comfortable, safe, and well-cared for, with regular updates to keep owners informed. My goal is to offer peace of mind while treating every pet like my own.
About: I have always loved animals, and grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. I'm a strength & conditioning specialist who loves nature and being outdoors with pets! My experience includes dogs of all breeds, pigs, birds, and cats. I enjoy helping dogs feel more confident in their surroundings and I really like Ian Dunbar's positive reinforcement philosophy in dog training. I have volunteered with diverse dog clubs in San Francisco from day cares to fitness runs in the park. My goal is to help your dog be happier through consistent exercise. Enjoying the great outdoors with a furry friend is something I looked forward to every day when I had a dog! I hope to meet you and your fur baby who I will love as my own :) Pet care is apart of my daily routine; keeping my chickens and cats fed, clean, and comfortable in their living and play areas with treats and toys available for entertainment. I have a 12' fully fenced back yard and smaller mobile gates to add boundaries as necessary. Indoor space available on hot days and as needed.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rio Rico stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rico. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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 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.
