My friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to care for their pets. I understand what it means to leave your pets with others, and I promise to treat your pets like the family they are! I have had dogs, cats, fish, and lizards my whole life. I have helped foster kittens multiple times. There is truly nothing more important to me than building a relationship with your pets! My schedule is currently completely flexible and I am ready for any and all jobs. I am on Rover in hopes to create new memories with fur babies, and gain experience with all kinds of pets. My schedule is completely flexible! I am available morning and night, as well as throughout the day. I am willing to work with what works for you! We have our own dog, Pepper. A large fenced backyard with a pet friendly pool. As well as, we live right by Fountain Hills Park where I will gladly take your pets to play around!

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 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?!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age since I was young! I have had 3 of my own dogs and one foster dog. Shy or nervous dogs, low or high energy are no problem. I try to mimic your pets home routine as much as possible. Your pet will feel loved, happy and excited when in my hands. I am home during the week and mostly on weekends. Other than being out for a few hours during the day (roughly 2) if needed for any errands. I try to be with your pet as much as I can. I have a large fenced yard (no pool) to play in the backyard. Pets are allowed on furniture with me and I have my own little cockapoo to keep your fur baby company. She is very friendly and loves to play! I have a dog park right across the street that I am happy to take your pet to if you are comfortable.
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: 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.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals, from Australian shepherds, American short hair cats, retrievers, and chihuahuas. Ready for all situations. Love all cats and dogs! Also have experience with hamsters, guniea pigs, turtles and fish! I typically work 9-5. I have availability in the morning or at night. I am willing to comfort the animal at their home as well. Animals comfort is the number one priority. I can’t host animals typically but can travel and use my car to transport as well. Love animals and their little homes. Unfortunately have 3 animals of my own at the home and cannot have them at my home.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life growing up! I’ve been a vet tech on and off for the past 10 years. I’m currently going to school again and wanting to get back into animal sitting/walking when I can. I also volunteer at foothills animal rescue and Halo when I have some free time as well. I love animals and they bring me so much joy! Ive been on the app for 6 years now and have done hundreds of services. I’m known to be very gentle, patient, and loving with the pets I sit. I’m a very active person so I love going on walks and being out in nature. I get the best of both worlds doing this! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday. I get a break mid day. I’m fully available Friday-Sunday. Just let me know what you need and expect and I’d love to try my best to make things work for you and your fur baby :) I’m currently living with my grandparents so I’ll only be walking and house sitting. I’ve done hundreds of walks and a lot of house sittings. I’ve had the app for 6 years now so I’m very trustworthy and respectful of your space and time.
About: i commit to treating your animal with the same love, respect, and attention that i give my own pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I have an unwavering amount of love for all animals! I currently work full time however my work schedule is VERY flexible as i work from home! I’ll make the time to care for your sweet animal and I can’t wait to meet them! In my home, i prioritize creating a safe, clean, and loving environment for all pets. I have a sweet Havanese dog myself (who’s my bestfriend), so i understand the importance of routine, exercise, and affection. I bring a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of all dogs.

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: We are a family of 5 - mom, dad, as of 2024, a 7 year old boy, Anquan the old alphadog and Chase the young pup. (We just put our old pup down and can’t bring myself to fully change the profile yet but FYI, we just have Chase now 😥) We have grown up around dogs and had dogs of our own our whole lives. My mother-in -law bred dogs and walked in and judged dog shows, so our household has picked up a few tips and tricks for training and care. We love our pups and we will love yours too! We live in a house with a fenced yard and have a large trampoline my dogs like to sun bath on for some reason. We have grass and rocks in our backyard for your picky poopers, and when we take walks, they are down the canal and over to Papago since our street ends at the canal. We both work from home so we will be with the dogs all day, and my pups will be so happy to have new playmates. We have a young pup who will be happy to share toys and treats and tire your dogs out and we have an old man who is happy to share his couch space with your old guys. My husband started freelancing so he is happy to earn a little extra and come walk your dogs, or watch your dogs at your place as well. Up to you! We give our old man medicine so we are comfortable giving any meds that are needed, or administering special diets. Just let us know 😉🙃 FYI’s…. - We do not have any cats and will not watch cats in our home but are happy to do so in your home. - I feel for dog owners in apartments/condos, especially during the summer months, but if your dog does not know how to or won’t use the restroom on any surface but the patio, this does not work for us. Not only do we not want that on our patio but our patio is brick and the bricks are porous and stain easily. If this ends up being the case, it is our discretion to add a cleaning fee. - You are welcome to bring toys/bones as long as your pup doesn’t mind sharing and doesn’t have aggression attached to the item - You are welcome to bring toys, bed, whatever BUT you don’t have to as we have plenty to share and we are not responsible if the items gets damaged. We have two dogs and sometimes watch more than 1 dog at a time and you never know how animals will react to being in a new place with new dogs. So we can’t be responsible if a bed gets gnawed on or a toy get chewed. - All we really need is your dog food and treats. We also have treats but if your pup can have a sensitive stomach, we would rather have their treats. FYI - booking house sitting means you want us to Be at your home as much as possible with your pets and possibly sleeping over. If you just need someone to pop in to feed/walk/play - that’s is booking a “drop-in” We both work remotely and my husband only works part-time so we are always available but for exceptional situations which we will mark as unavailable. We already take care of our own 2 so we do walks first thing in the morning and after dinner. We also have a doggie door to our backyard. If we have your pups on the weekend, it’s not summer and your pup is capable, it is likely we will take a walk to the Hole In The Rock since it’s right down the canal from our house and a good distance for my kiddo and pups. But we will make sure to ask you what your pups can and can not do before doing so. Usually, the dogs are so exhausted from just playing in the yard all day that walks and hikes are last thing on their minds! I have a fenced in grass yard with a doggie door and two friendly pups to keep your pup company. I also have a little boy who loves dogs and the first thing he does when he gets home from school is play with the dogs. If we are coming to your home, your rules are your rules. We will just try to keep their schedule and structure as close to the one they are used to and it would just be one of us as someone will stay home with our pups. Happy to bring our pups over if you want a playdate while gone as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Rio Verde on Rover is $33.3 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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.
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:
- 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.
