About: 𐂂｡⋆ I’ve had a love for animals since I was young! The adults around me have trusted me around their animals due to my deep love for educating myself on their animals needs and respecting said animals boundaries. Animals are more than just pets, they have their own personalities, choices, emotions, that deserve to be cared for just as much as humans do. It’s that empathy towards all creatures, big or small, that has drawn me to their care. I’ve sat my own pets (dogs, lizards, birds) throughout my life as well as family members, neighbors, friends (as well as done a lot of equestrian work), so I’ve had a lot of time around animals! I’d love to be able to care for yours in the same way💜 ☆｡⋆ I’m currently on summer break until the end of September, which frees up my schedule overall and allows me to be pretty open to caring for your animals at any time! ☽｡⋆ I’m very by the book, whatever you say goes! I’m ready to follow your schedule and daily routines in order to ensure that your animals feel more secure in their home while you’re away.
“Vivian was responsible, dependable, friendly and all in all, very easy to work with. She followed all if the directions I left pertaining to caring for our Welsh Corgi. I would definitely use her again.”
“First time using Rover and Nicole made it a fantastic experience. The dogs really loved her and she was great about sending updates and pictures. For sure would request her for future stays.”
“Karen is Amazing !!! My pup is 16. 1/2 years old . Karen is wonderful with her. She gives Cali her medicine twice and day and walks in her stroller. I feel so confident and secure with no worries at all when Karen is taking care of Cali. ( and I am one of the biggest worries ). I am so blessed that I found Karen to take care of my special girl. Karen is very detailed orentated , loving , kind and sweet. I am beyond grateful for her. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a loving care giver for the pet”
About: I have had a dog and a cat since I was four and understand the responsibilities of feeding, grooming, playing with them. I know how to navigate their doctor appointments and how to manage a problem with a pet. I don’t just believe pets should just be fed, walked, let out to use the bathroom, I believe they should also get love and comfort when their guardians are away I am on summer break so I have a lot of free time. I love walking my own dog and taking care of my pets when I am home. I walk my dog twice a day, feed both her and my cat in the mornings and afternoons. I make sure their water is full, that their beds are where they’re supposed to be, and that they are comfortable. I always greet them when I come home, or say goodbye to them when i leave
“Tiffany took care of our 3 westies for the weekend and was professional and reliable. She arrived exactly on time and followed all care instructions perfectly. She kept our home secure and clean. She stayed in touch and sent updates pictures so we were happy. Our dogs warmed up to her immediately and they were calm and content when we returned. Thank you Tiffany!”
About: Hi! I'm Cassidy, a healthcare architectural designer living in North Scottsdale and a lifelong animal lover. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, because they're family. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a calm companion around, I tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As a full-time professional, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to clear communication. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know it can be stressful leaving your furry family member behind, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications, and accommodating special routines whenever possible. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra helping hand! I am a full time student and I also have an architectural internship to help further my studies. I’m trying to save up some extra money for my future by doing something I love and hopefully helping those around me! My main availability is evenings and weekends, but my schedule can be negotiated to see work out the best situation! My roommate has 2 cats that are dog friendly! They mostly keep to themselves, but if further parameters need to be taken I am definitely open to that discussion as well! I will take care of your pet as if they were my own, because I know how important pets are to families
“Darion was an absolute treasure. She made sure my babies were safe and calm. She went above and beyond caring for my home and my pets. Highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time booking Quincy, and it won’t be my last! She has a true love for dogs and took amazing care of my 13-year-old cocker spaniel, Murphy. She sent regular updates with photos, left my home spotless, and gave Murphy so much love he waited by the door for her after I got back. I feel completely at ease leaving him in her care — highly recommend!”
About: I love animals! Growing up I took care of dogs, hamsters, cats, turtles, and bunnies.. Since I nannied not only can I take care of kids, but nearly any animal under the sun! I love to curl up with a good book and give your animal some love! I just graduated so I’m currently working to save money. I am a full time animal and house sitter. I go to the gym in the morning around 3-5 days a week. I am an artist and a book worm, so having an animal to keep me company makes a huge difference! I am completely vegan, so I probably won’t be feeding your pup any table scraps, however I can get down with some animals.. walks, snuggles, deep conversations, and lots of playtime/love! If you want me to do something special for your animal just let me know! We can do story time and tuck them in.. or.. Your animal and I will send you some creative selfies! Truly the world has no limit to what I would do for our fuzzy friends.
“Very kind and responsive. Mira loved her when sitting and she has separation anxiety. Came home and she was happy to see me but not wasn’t anxious when I returned which was wonderful. Will definitely rebook.”
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 been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.
About: I’ve taken care of small medium and large dogs for many family members the past three years. My mom has a French Bulldog that I love playing with and taking care when I visit her or when she visits me! I am currently working part time at Mountainside Fitness in Paradise Valley and I have class twice a week at ASU Tempe campus in the mornings! I had a lot of availability during the weekdays and I am very good at time management. I have a courtyard in the front of my complex which provides a large grassy area for pets to play. I have a zipped up bed that is medium sized if needed to provide!

Tiffany took care of our 3 westies for the weekend and was professional and reliable. She arrived exactly on time and followed all care instructions perfectly. She kept our home secure and clean. She stayed in touch and sent updates pictures so we were happy. Our dogs warmed up to her immediately and they were calm and content when we returned. Thank you Tiffany!
Tiffany stayed at our home with Lily for 5 days and did an amazing job. Our flight coming home was delayed by 5 hours and she was able to stay a little bit longer which was so helpful. She asked if we wanted her to strip the bed sheets and wash them along with towels. So we came home to freshly washed sheets. Lily of course was so happy to see us but I could tell she was well cared for by the photos and messages Tiffany sent while we were away. We will definitely be using Tiffany again and 100% recommendation her with your fur babies. Thanks again, Tiffany, for providing exceptional care!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rio Verde
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rio Verde on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,158 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rio Verde. 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 Verde 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 Verde 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 Verde 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 with handling special pet needs in Rio Verde. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
