“Gail stayed with our 2 poodles while we were away. She kept us well informed of their daily activities. I couldn’t be more pleased with how she made us feel at ease as our sitter.”
“McKenna did an amazing job caring for our pups in our home. She communicated well with updates and photos and videos. The pups received the utmost love and care in our absence, and I would not hesitate to recommend or book McKenna again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Vivien. I have two very large dogs a pitbull and a German Shepherd and they are big babies and she took great care of them and unfortunately I don’t have a yard so she had to walk them every day three times a day and she did a great job. They loved her. She kept me up-to-date with texts, me sent me pictures. She will definitely be called upon again.”

She even left little treats, a handwritten note, and two beautiful handmade pictures of our pups! So thoughtful and she’s so professional and kind. Highly recommend!”
About: I absolutely love animals, but because my career (hopefully an airline pilot in the next year) I can't commit to owning a pet right now. Instead, I enjoy giving my time and care to other people's pets. I've cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, and I treat every pet like they're my own. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Right now, my schedule is very flexible. I typically work Sunday through Thursday from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM, though my hours depend on my students' schedules. During the summer, with vacations and the Arizona heat, I have even more availability and would love to spend that time with your pets My top priority is making sure your pets are comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I'm more than happy to provide drop-in visits or overnight stays. I can also host your pet(s) at my apartment. While I don't have a yard, I do have several great walking trails nearby for plenty of exercise and outdoor time!
About: Hi! My name is Dylan! I have taken care of pets for 2 years now. However, I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. 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!
“Darion is an absolute professional. She is responsible, a great communicator, clearly loves animals and, most importantly, took wonderful care of our senior dog and our home. We never worried about anything while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Darion to anyone!”
“Kailey watched 2 of our dogs at home for a long weekend. She is responsive, respectful, and kind. Kailey asked plenty of questions to make sure she could meet our expectations. House was kept tidy and Kailey was thoughtful to put the linens in the laundry room and clean the poop in the yard. I came home later than expected and Kailey offered to come back for a potty break. Girls seemed calm and content when I got home. Grateful for Kailey!”
“Lauren was great. Did exactly as she said she would. Super communicative. Left me nothing to worry about at all. Ripley had a great time. Look forward to having her watch my pup again in the future.”
“I had to leave my fur baby’s for 4 days and 3 nights. I was worried because I don’t like to leave them. Catalina came to my house to meet my fur baby’s and she made us all feel at ease. Thank you very much Catalina! While we were gone she sent pictures and gave updataes. I would highly recommend Catalina who has any worries about leaving their baby over night.”
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’m a loving, dependable, and attentive pet caregiver who truly treats every pet like family. I understand that leaving your furry babies with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic dog, or a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience and care. I’m also happy to provide lots of playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, potty breaks, medication reminders, and plenty of updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, comfortable environment with plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and daily routines. I also love sending regular updates and photos so pet parents can relax knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Beth did an exceptional job. She took great care of my dog and was very communicative. Put me at ease immediately. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Therese did a wonderful job taking care of our pups, even though she was not feeling well. She also tackled our outside critters too even having to deal with 1.3” of rain that came down while she was here. She went the extra mile to do everything we needed. Thanks so much Therese and River.com too.”
“Paige was so incredible with our three big dogs, one of whom is reactive and another is a giant puppy. She was communicative and took great care of our home too! She sent lots of pictures and even left us a cute note about her time with the pups :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rio Verde
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 $47.96 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,189 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.

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.
