About: Experience caring for anxious and/or special needs animals (diapers, mobility issues, medication, senior dogs, puppies) both professionally and personally. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting on and off for family friends and neighbors since I was a teenager, but started doing so more professionally in the past 5 years. Most of my experience is with overnight care for dogs (ranging from a single night to a full month at a time) but I’m an animal lover with personal experience caring for every kind of pet imaginable (horses, ferrets, fish, cats, bunnies, reptiles/tortoises). I work very flexible hours part-time which mostly consists of work from home, this leaves my schedule wide open for overnight care and long stays. Very good at keeping consistency with feeding and medication schedules, as well as making sure potty breaks taken as frequently as needed (experience with special needs dogs who require being let outside/cleaned up after much more than other dogs).
About: I’ve spent 30 years caring for a wide variety of dog breeds and age ranges. My experience isn't just limited to my own pets as I've spent time volunteering at animal shelters and pet sitting for neighbors and friends. Safety First: I take great care during walks and always ensure harnesses are secure and environments are safe before going outside. Communication: I provide detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder about how your pets are doing. Adaptability: With direction from you I tailor every visit to your pets' unique needs and personality. I’m a firm believer that every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while their humans are away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I spend weekdays in Carefree and weekends in Paradise Valley. My schedule is relatively flexible so please contact me with your scheduling needs and I'll promptly return your message. Your pets' safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, ensuring all doors are locked, alarms are set, and everything is exactly as you left it. I am a non-smoker, stick to schedules, and never invite guests over.

About: I’ve grown up with a dog and have experience walking and caring for many different dogs in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and love staying active, whether that’s playing, going on walks, or giving your dog plenty of attention and care. I’m currently available all summer aside from a few planned trips. Other than that, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet whenever needed. I’ll be starting college in the fall, so my availability will change then, but for now I’m free most days and happy to work around your schedule. I care for pets in the client’s home by following their normal routine and instructions closely. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and comfortable in their own space. I also provide attention, keep things clean, and ensure they feel safe while you’re away.
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.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have always had a deep love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention on schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment while following your care instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, meals, fresh water, and lots of affection, while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
“First time stranger walk for Walter and first time using Rover and Daniel did not disappoint. Friendly and affectionate to our pup, he took our fluffernutter on an hour long walk. He even got our pooch a water when it seemed he was thirsty because I forgot to pack one. Thank you Daniel! Will be using you again, I’m sure.”

“Kristen is wonderful! She went out of her way to come meet my dog before ever taking on/accepting being a dog walker. She is now my go-to dog walker and I can’t imagine leaving him in anyone else’s hands! She’s very communicative and professional.”

About: In addition to house/pet sitting, I have owned numerous dogs and cats plus hamsters, fish, chickens, and horses. I enjoy working with animals and am open to caring for most types of pets. I have previous experience with Housecarers and Trusted Housesitters and can provide copies of reviews by pet owners. I am retired so my schedule is flexible. I am physically very active and able to handle extensive walking as needed. I do occasionally travel but plan my travel months in advance so it would not interfere with any scheduled sits or pet care. I am not available to care for pets in my home. I would be available both day or night to care for or sit for pets in your home. I am a walker, so dog walking is one of my favorite activities with pets.
About: Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I currently have two Great Danes (ages 11 and 2), two cats, and a chinchilla, so I’m very comfortable managing both large and small animals with different needs and personalities. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of behavior, training basics, and daily care routines. I’m especially experienced with large and giant breeds and understand their unique needs, including exercise limits, joint care, and bloat prevention in deep-chested dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, as we recently lost our 9-year-old Great Dane, so I’m comfortable with slower-paced walks, medication routines, and providing gentle, attentive care for older pets. At the same time, I can keep up with high-energy dogs who need playtime, enrichment, and structured activity. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I treat every animal like my own and always prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness. I work remotely part-time as a registered dietitian. My days are free after 9am for house visits. If making house visits, it would occur after that time. Walks during the summer are limited with heat, aim for evening or grassy fields to run some energy out during the day. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their established routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding according to instructions, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure litter boxes are cleaned, accidents are addressed promptly, and the home is left tidy. For dogs, I prioritize safe leash handling, structured walks, and attention to each dog’s energy level and mobility needs. I’m experienced with large breeds and senior dogs, so I adjust activity accordingly and always prioritize safety (including awareness of bloat risk in deep-chested dogs like Great Danes). For cats, I focus on calm, respectful care—making sure they feel secure, keeping their environment clean, and giving attention based on their personality (whether they are social or prefer space). I also make sure litter boxes are cleaned daily and routines are consistent. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to provide reliable, attentive care so owners can feel confident while they’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are safe and happy.
About: I don’t just watch pets! I always show up ready to play, cuddle and earn their trust. I am great with shy, wild, or wise old senior pets. I tend to sing silly songs, but they don't mind. I plan my days around the pets I care for, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. Their schedule becomes my schedule. I'll love, care for and treat your pets like the masters of the manor they are! I'm happy to give them the time, love, attention (or space) that they need.
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and getting to spend time with them has been one of my favorite pastimes! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many new furry friends throughout the years and getting to know their own unique personalities! I always treat every new pup I see as if they’re my own. I hope I get the chance to meet your pups soon and give them a little extra company! Currently, my schedule is full open availability. I have no problem commuting for that reason:). I plan on focusing my attention on pet-sitting, as I’ve always had a love for animals! At my home, I have two super good boys! One is a Golden Retriever (11) and the other is a Shih-Tzu (15). They are fed every morning and taken out at least 3 times a day. Toys are never-ending and they are spoiled rotten (they get to sleep in the bed😉). Both of these pups are constantly getting attention…I mean come on, how can I not?!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,628 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rio Verde. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
