“Tom is the greatest! My blue Heeler Rod took a liking to him during the meet and greet. Tom’s been incredibly helpful feeding/exercising Rod on my long day of work. One of my neighbors saw Tom playing with Rod and told me how impressed she was with how engaged Tom was playing fetch with Rod. Tom is dependable and very professional. I highly recommend Tom if you need someone to watch after your pup!”
“Emma is flexible and has helped me multiple times with last minute time and schedule changes. Of note, is yesterday when there was a family medical emergency and Emma helped greatly so I could be with my family. Thanks Emma!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and volunteered at the Nebraska Humane Society for over 10 years walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I love to walk dogs and I also love to hike if you would like your furry friend to get a hike in. I have had the pleasure of looking after a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. I am a retired individual who has a passion for taking care of animals. While my husband is busy at work, I find joy and fulfillment in spending my time with furry companions. Whether it's a short walk during the day or extended care while you're away, I am here to meet your pet's needs. We can work together to put a plan in place for your pets and I am happy to send photos and videos of your pet.
“Sibel was wonderful! She walked our dog several times over consecutive days. She was always on time and sent many pictures. She is very positive and clearly loves animals! We will definitely use her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and patience for all kinds of animals. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, bunnies, and hamsters, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’m attentive to detail and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience following specific routines, giving extra care to senior pets, and keeping things clean and organized. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and every owner feel at ease. I’m currently not working, so my mornings and afternoons are free. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to focus on caring for pets. I’m also available for nights and over night stays at well. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow your routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and give each pet lots of love and attention. Safety is my priority, so you can trust that your dog will be well looked after while you’re away!
About: Hi! Chances are if you are on my page you are an animal lover who is looking for someone special to take care of your beloved family pets. Look no further! I am Lauren, a registered nurse by trade, who when not working spends 99% of my time with my dogs and cat! My animals are not just pets, they are family. That is my philosophy when caring for your furry friends. I promise to take care of them like they are my own, and the same goes for your home! I understand how stressful and worrisome it can be to hire someone to watch after your animals and property. I am incredible responsible, diligent, and detail oriented when it comes to caring for others (people and animals alike- it comes with both jobs!) I have extensive experience with animals from the time I was a child all the way until present day. As a child I attended all sorts of animal camps during school breaks, in high school I volunteered at the local animal shelter where I adopted both my dogs from, and have spent countless hours working with trainers to train my dogs. Both of my dogs have completed beginner & intermediate obedience, as well as completing the AKC canine good citizen class. All of this to say- I have worked with my own dogs, as well as many other dogs and have extensive experience with animal behavior and all types of breeds. I understand some dogs need a little extra time to warm up and that is 100% okay, please just be upfront about your pets needs so I can best care for them! Aside from my canine friends, I also have a cat and I am happy to care for feline friends as well! I am a nurse so my schedule fluctuates often! I tend to have more availability than the average nurse due to my current role so reach out as far in advance as possible and I will try my best to accommodate your needs! I am here to best serve you and your animals. Let me know how to care for them and I will follow all instructions as given. Pets do best when routine is kept as close to possible as when you are present so I will look after them how you see fit!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rio Verde. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Rio Verde.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Verde. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
