“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. 😀”

“Emma is an excellent caretaker for my kitty! My kitty isn’t always friendly, but she was very comfortable with Emma and would allow Emma to pet her. Emma sent me photos every day which always makes me very happy. She also went the extra step and cleaned a blanket that the cat had thrown a hairball on. I really appreciate her taking the time to do this. I highly recommend Emma. I feel very confident having her in my home and looking after my fur baby.”

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: Hi! Chances are if you are on my page you are an animal lover who is looking for someone special to take care of your beloved family pets. Look no further! I am Lauren, a registered nurse by trade, who when not working spends 99% of my time with my dogs and cat! My animals are not just pets, they are family. That is my philosophy when caring for your furry friends. I promise to take care of them like they are my own, and the same goes for your home! I understand how stressful and worrisome it can be to hire someone to watch after your animals and property. I am incredible responsible, diligent, and detail oriented when it comes to caring for others (people and animals alike- it comes with both jobs!) I have extensive experience with animals from the time I was a child all the way until present day. As a child I attended all sorts of animal camps during school breaks, in high school I volunteered at the local animal shelter where I adopted both my dogs from, and have spent countless hours working with trainers to train my dogs. Both of my dogs have completed beginner & intermediate obedience, as well as completing the AKC canine good citizen class. All of this to say- I have worked with my own dogs, as well as many other dogs and have extensive experience with animal behavior and all types of breeds. I understand some dogs need a little extra time to warm up and that is 100% okay, please just be upfront about your pets needs so I can best care for them! Aside from my canine friends, I also have a cat and I am happy to care for feline friends as well! I am a nurse so my schedule fluctuates often! I tend to have more availability than the average nurse due to my current role so reach out as far in advance as possible and I will try my best to accommodate your needs! I am here to best serve you and your animals. Let me know how to care for them and I will follow all instructions as given. Pets do best when routine is kept as close to possible as when you are present so I will look after them how you see fit!
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and patience for all kinds of animals. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, bunnies, and hamsters, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’m attentive to detail and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience following specific routines, giving extra care to senior pets, and keeping things clean and organized. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and every owner feel at ease. I’m currently not working, so my mornings and afternoons are free. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to focus on caring for pets. I’m also available for nights and over night stays at well. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow your routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and give each pet lots of love and attention. Safety is my priority, so you can trust that your dog will be well looked after while you’re away!

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs over the years. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and house sit their dogs, and I truly love doing it! I’m a big animal lover and I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I work part time so my days are usually pretty open. Currently I am available every afternoon- evening and some mornings. My schedule is super flexible so I am open to anything! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible so pets feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, and household rules. I always keep the home clean and respectful, make sure doors and gates are secure, and ensure pets are safe at all times. I prioritize trust, communication, and reliability, and I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. My goal is to make sure pets feel relaxed and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for my whole life and i’ve been walking and feeding them ever since I was 13. Weather it’s my own pups or others’, I’ve always taken pride in giving them care and attention. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether you needed a reliable dog walker or just someone to stop by and check in, I’ve got you covered! I’m a college student home for break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company while you’re out, i’m happy to help. I always treat every dog with patience and kindness. I have a big dog of my own, so i’m very comfortable handling larger breeds. When I’m doing drop-in visits in a clients home, I make sure to follow any specific care instructions closely.
“Maria is the best! We’ve used her several times for drop-in visits to care for our cat Oliver. She’s very responsible, responsive, sends lots of photos and always takes the time to play will Oliver to make sure he’s having fun while we are away. We can tell from her updates that Oliver really loves Maria! We highly recommend her!”

About: I know how to take care of animals that are highly reactive due to my sweet rescue. I was raised around lots of different animals since I was a toddler and often watched on them even as a small child. As I got older and my mother started leaving for weeks for work so I’d watch my dog, cat, and two tree frogs on my own for years. I currently have two dogs and cat I care for that are happy and healthy. I’ve also always participated in neighbor dog walking and frequently volunteer at shelters. I am in school Monday through Thursday but am available early morning and late night those days and can be flexible. Weekend are completely open. I always remain courteous and respectful in other peoples private spaces. A persons home is incredibly private and I would make sure that trust is kept. I will follow your instructions exactly and make sure your pet and you are happy!
“Our family highly recommends Amanda to take care of your fur baby! Amanda was awesome with our 5 month Goldendoodle puppy! Our Goldendoodle didn’t want her to leave! :) That’s how much he loves her! She quickly responded to our pet sit request. She asked great questions about the care of our puppy. We are definitely booking Amanda again!”

“Erika is the sweetest! She had the best communication and gave me lots of updates :) My pup is a usually a bit timid around new people but loved Erika right away, so I had absolutely zero worries!”


“Very friendly and reliable! I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing Gwyn was stopping by to take care of my Coco. I recommend highly and will definitely be using Gwyn again.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who’s always had two dogs at home and a soft spot for all furry friends. I’ve cared for pets while their families—many of whom I’ve also nannied for—were away on vacation. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident and comfortable with all dogs and cats. I also have experience with high-energy pups and administering medication. I’d love to give your pets the same care and attention you would while you're away! I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of availability for frequent visits, walks, and potty breaks. Walks are already part of my daily routine, and I'd love to have some furry company along the way! I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved—whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and keep things tidy. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and cozy environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles. My goal is to keep your pet happy and stress-free while you're away!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rio Verde stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
