Addy did an amazing job watching my pets while I was away for a few days. She was excellent at sending updates and photos during her stay with them. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.

We had a great experience with our sitter! She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pet was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Her communication made the entire experience completely stress-free, and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Ash was amazing with our two boys! We have a cane corso and a frenchie and we were super nervous to have someone new watch our pups and they loved her! 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!

Darion stood out amongst all the others. Her profile,reviews & repeat clients speak for themselves. She is a special treasure. If you get the opportunity to have her care for & love on your fur babies don’t let her get away!!! She will not disappoint you. At our Meet & Greet her calm demeanor, loving nature & professionalism won us over. My Standard Poodle Liz wouldn’t leave her side! Darion sat overnight for Liz in our home. She took care of both as if they were her own with the utmost love, care & respect. She sent just the right amount of regular updates & photos related to Liz and also let me know when she completed tasks around the house. All of this gave me peace of mind. This is not a side job for Darion. She is committed to the job of caring for your pet & she sincerely loves what she does. She not only spoiled my dog but she spoiled me! I will be checking her schedule before planning my next trip. I hope I never have to settle for another sitter. When I returned Liz was happy to see me but I could tell she missed Darion, her new friend.

We had a wonderful experience with Will! From the start, communication was prompt, friendly, and reassuring, and it was clear the boys were in caring, capable hands. We rarely travel together so, initially, the boys had a tough time adjusting and even struggled with simple routines like going potty outside. Will was incredibly patient and kept us updated with regular videos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well cared for pups. We truly appreciate Will’s kindness, patience, and professionalism, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!

About: We live in a clean home, in a safe community. We have (1) yellow lab that would like a friend to play with during the day. Doggy door available, feed, clean, and walk the dogs, we do it all. We have a pool at another location that we would be happy to take a dog or two, if they like to swim. I currently work from home and have an endless amount of time to feed and throw toys. We have cameras around the home for added security. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are contained within the property, unless on a leash on a walk or on a car ride. Safety is our biggest concern. I work from home and have plenty of time to throw toys and play with the dogs. There is a doggie door and fenced yard to play in. I have a fenced/walled yard with a doggie door. We do not have a pool or anything dangerous in the yard. Dogs are allowed to come and go as they like, unless we are told different by you. We allow dogs on the furniture and in the beds if they like.

Kailey is a fantastic sitter! We hired her to house-sit and care for our two dogs for 13 days, and she exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, making us feel confident before our trip even started. Throughout our time away, she sent daily updates and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. While we were out of the country, one of our dogs had a medical emergency. Kailey handled the situation exactly as we hoped she would—she immediately took our dog to the emergency vet, ensured they received the care they needed, and closely monitored them once they returned home. She kept us informed every step of the way, communicating with us consistently throughout the entire ordeal. We couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care Kailey provided. She is responsible, compassionate, and someone we trust completely with our home and our pets. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter.

As a dog mom who is probably a little too attached to my dogs and cat, leaving them for the first time made me really nervous. Danny completely put my mind at ease. He went above and beyond giving Bob, Rosie, and Henry so much love, attention, and playtime. He sent daily updates, which helped me relax and actually enjoy my vacation knowing they were in great hands. He was also very thoughtful and communicative, even kindly reaching out when one of my dogs started getting a little too “affectionate”. I truly felt like my dogs were cared for the same way I would care for them. I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Danny! – Bob, Rosie, and Henry’s very grateful mom

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 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.

Beth watched our dog, Brooklyn, while we were out of town for a long weekend. Beth was extremely communicative and beyond reliable. It’s hard to trust someone to take care of your dog and your home — however, Beth is that person! Our dog is rather skittish and wary, but Beth stayed diligent with her and worked with her to connect. Our house was also in better condition than we left it. We will absolutely be having Beth come stay again in the future. Thank you so much!

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Verde. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
