“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.”
“Aayana was very sweet and loving towards our puppy and cat! She handled everything very swiftly and responsibly - we knew our pets and house were in good hands.”
“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.”
“Queston took care of Charlie like he was his own. Ran him a ton (which he needs) and took some great action shots! I really liked that he checked in each morning and night and was available when I reached out to him. I highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. She stayed with our pit bulls for 2 weeks while we were in Europe. She was communicative with us whenever we asked for an update and sent the occasional photo. She left our apartment spotless upon our return and gave the girls lots of love and attention while we were gone. We are so grateful that our time abroad was so stress free due to her help and care.”
“Tinsel is an amazing pet sitter and very empathetic. She goes above and beyond. She kept in contact with me on some issues my cat was having and was very responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Victoria was great with our fur babies and took wonderful care of our home, I love that she spent a lot of time with them because they are used to lounging with a human friend. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone you can trust and rely on! She sent me cute pictures and videos while I was on vacation and my pups were obviously enjoying her company.”
“Therese was amazing with our two dogs! She communicated with us regularly to let us know the dogs were doing well. We felt secure leaving them with her for the weekend, and will definitely keep her in mind for future dog sitting.”
“Amber is, without question, the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. From the moment we met her, she was warm, kind, attentive, and incredibly professional. Her communication was outstanding, she was proactive, dependable, punctual, and paid such close attention to every detail. It was obvious from the start that she genuinely cared about our pets, and that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs and cats weren’t just cared for… they were loved. Amber is nurturing, patient, capable, and incredibly thoughtful. She followed every instruction perfectly, kept us updated with wonderful messages and photos, and consistently went above and beyond in ways we didn’t even expect. Honestly, my only hesitation in writing this review is that I selfishly want to keep her all to ourselves! But she absolutely deserves every bit of recognition. Anyone lucky enough to have Amber care for their pets can travel knowing they are in the very best hands. It’s rare to find someone who inspires this level of confidence and trust. We will be requesting Amber every single time we travel. She is truly one of a kind, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“It was easy to find a great pet sitter through Rover.com. Amity was very qualified to stay with our dogs and cat due to her work experience, education and her own pet ownership. She was available to meet with us prior to the scheduled stay and review our directions on the complicated feeding method we have to keep one of the dogs separated from the cat at mealtime. The animals were happy to see us when we returned and the house was in great condition. I would definitely use her again.”
“Nancy was great! She was attentive to Mulligan and gave good updates and plenty of pictures while I was away. I would certainly recommend her! Thank you Nancy!”
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.

“Nicholas was able to help me with Chico on a very short notice which was very much appreciated. He was able to come 3 times a day to check on Chico's food and water and also take him on walks. Nicholas has been very professional in the way he handled things and communicated often so it made me feel very confident and comfortable. I would highly recommend Nicholas for your pet needs.”

Maintained clean and safe kennels and play areas, monitored and documented pet health and behavior, reported concerns to management, and assisted with boarding check-in/check-out while providing professional customer service to pet owners I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of availability in the afternoons for check-ins and potty breaks. Sundays and Mondays are my days off, so I’m available to spend the entire day with your pup! I have been caring for my own dogs since I was a kid, my current dog is on medication so I have no issues admistering meds if needed. I also have no problem taking dogs to appointments if needed.

“Renae watched our pets very last minute and was great! We’ve never had a pet sitter spend the night in our home before, but she was very clean, took great care of the animals and was in constant communication with us. Our pets seemed to really like her and felt comfortable with her from what we could tell. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rio Verde is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
