“Tom took wonderful care of our Pup KC on his drop in visit. Our pup KC usually doesn't warm up to some one new right away, but when he met Tom he immediately approved with lots of tail wags and a big smile. .We definitely will be used by Tom in the future to care if our boy. 😀”
“Sibel was wonderful with our cat Bubba. He seemed to really enjoy her visits while we were away - he would greet her at the door, sit to be combed and petted, and engaged in play with the cat toys, especially the laser pointer that Sibel brought…which I’m now going to buy one! I felt that Bubba was in the best of care with Sibel! ~ Gloria Porteous”
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs across all ages since I was 7. Having grown up with dogs and having one now I am prepared to care and love any pup coming my way! I work full time, primarily looking for some extra cash on the weekends. Typically home on weekdays by 6pm. Have the flexibility to work from home as needed. I live in an apartment with one male dog named Sparky. Patio is enclosed. My dog is not crated but I do have experience with crating dogs as needed!
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 been raising and caring for Cane Corsos since I was 10 years old, giving me extensive experience with large, powerful breeds. While I have a special place in my heart for Cane Corsos, I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities and have experience caring for many different breeds. I’ve also owned three cats throughout my life and currently have one of my own, so I’m equally comfortable caring for feline companions. Growing up around animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a gentle giant, or a laid-back cat, I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own animals. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m free almost all week and early in the morning! I don’t mind overnight stays. Rain or shine. Very flexible with your schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having raised Cane Corsos since I was 10 and owned cats throughout my life, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I always make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m mindful of securing doors and gates, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and following each pet’s specific care instructions. I understand that every animal has a unique personality. Some dogs need plenty of exercise and playtime, while others prefer a relaxed environment. Similarly, some cats love attention, while others need their personal space. I always adapt my approach to make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure. I’ll respect your home, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own.
“Samantha is so sweet and very attentive to my pets. She is very communicative and respectful. She made it easy for me to go on vacation knowing my pets were well taken care of.”
“I searched for the right dog sitter for my English Bulldog Gigi and my little rescue mix Petey. I found Nicholas and was not disappointed! He has a calm, confident demeanor that works well with being a caretaker of dogs. In my instance it helped that he has English Bulldogs himself so he knows that they can be nippy, protective and scrappy. He demonstrated a keen sense of how to interact with Gigi and each visit he made progress with her. His detailed recaps of his visits gave me a great peace of mind while I was away. He is thorough, caring, responsive and trustworthy. He takes care of my dogs as if they were his own. I truly appreciate his ability to take care of my two and am looking forward to continued use of his services. I highly recommend Nicholas to take of your pets!”
“Ashley & Benjamin were incredible care takers while I was on vacation!! I’m new to Rover and it was very reassuring to know that Kota was being cared for. Ashley was super easy to communicate with and she consistently provided updates, with photos and videos which was great to see! We couldn’t more thankful for the care provided. Thank you!!”
“Courtney was amazing! Both of my pets are extremely avoidant, but after just two(!) visits both of them were feeling comfortable enough with her to receive pets! She provided multiple pictures and updates daily and is extremely quick with responses, I would recommend her to anyone!”
“My dog Snowflake loved staying with Jolene! Most of the time after being away he is filled with anxiety but I no longer feel nervous leaving Snowflake with Jolene because I know my pup will have a great time. She is very responsible and takes great care! Highly recommend”
“Jasmine took care of our cat Berlin when I was out of town. She was very communicative, friendly, sent me updates every visit and took great care of him. Would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter for their cats”
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always felt at home with animals, especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love the opportunity to care for your best friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a helping hand.
About: I love pets and strongly believe they should be taken care of the right way, with love, care, and space to play. They have the energy to run and play and deserve to be able to do so! I work part time during the mornings. I can take care of them during the day and evening, including overnight visits or stays. I am flexible as well and happy to work around schedules. I will clean up after animals as well as your home. It’s my priority to leave your house exactly how you left it, and make sure your animals are treated the same way I’d take care of my own, with love and care.
“Beth has been great. She was willing to take the time to let my behaviorally challenged dogs get comfortable with her, which is greatly appreciated.”
About: I've had dogs for most of my life! I’ve taken care of many, ranging from big to small. I love caring for heaven’s little angels. I can take care of any pet. Just tell me what you need, and it will be done! Whatever you need, I’m sure I’ll be very accommodating! I’m flexible for yours and your pet’s needs. Just let me know! I’m very skilled with pets, especially dogs and cats. And seems like the pets like to be around me as well. I promise, that they’ll all safe and sound around me. And they’ll have fun around me as well!
About: I’ve taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I live in an apartment and have two cats. I love dogs and I can’t have one here in the apartment complex. So this is my way I can get my needs met. I’m a very caring and dedicated person to my clients and their dogs and cats. I have two cats and they love sitting with me and watching TV. I mean it they watch TV with me. My one cat has to smell every food that I eat. She won’t always eat it but she has to smell it or she won’t leave me alone. Love that girl. I live in an apartment but I can easily drop in feed, walk them and play with them. Staying overnight is fine with me as well.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and neighbors, while also caring for my own pets daily. I’m young, sweet, responsible, and genuinely love animals! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to easily fit pet care into my day while giving each pet plenty of attention, love, and companionship. I care for pets with patience, love, and attention, while following each owner’s instructions while keeping pets comfortable, safe, happy, and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rio Verde is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $42 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,120 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rio Verde. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Verde. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
