Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rio Medina
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rio Medina
“Abel and Alisa are amazing! It is easy to tell by the photos they sent that my fur baby was having a wonderful time at their “resort”! When we picked her up she was calm and well rested after much fun and a good night’s sleep! Thank you another wonderful experience and for making it easy to leave our pup while we’re away!”
“From the meet and greet to dropping off and picking up, Jorge was very accommodating and made the process super easy. Palmer clearly had plenty of fun as he more or less slept for a few days after we got home. We received plenty of updates and photos. I especially appreciate the extra care and attentiveness that was given to Palmer as Palmer found a way to cut on foot days before we were set to leave. Jorge said it was no problem and Palmer was treated well while the wound was healing. I will absolutely be happy to contact Jorge again next time we go out of town.”
“Robin was fantastic with our guys, the pictures she sent showed them relaxed and happy. It was our first time boarding them and we'd definitely work with Robin again!”
“Jeremy took amazing care of our dog Ziggy while we were on our trip to Florida. He was incredibly easy to work with, very understanding, and made the whole experience stress‑free. Ziggy was happy, well‑cared for, and clearly comfortable with him. We truly appreciate his reliability and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“Fernando was amazing! He kept me updated at all times with photos/videos/texts and Archie seemed to enjoy his stay as well! Will definitely use him again :)”
“Jenna and Robert watched our two babies for a couple of days and we couldn’t be happier! We got so many great pics while we were away which eased my mind! Thank you all so much and I highly recommend them for your babies!”
“Lauren and her family are awesome. Tiny is always happy to be with them. We had an emergency and she was willing to help with such a short notice. She’s the best!”
“Our Bailey enjoyed her long weekend with Amanda, her Family and the other pups. We felt secure about Bailey being away from home because of all the great photos sent by Amanda. Thank You!”
“We have continued to book with Karen. She follows all care instructions and goes the extra step to make sure Charlie is comfy. She is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. She also takes Charlie on extra walks. I know he loves being with Karen because he’s always super excited to see her. We’ll continue to book with Karen!”
“Ariana is amazing and truly an animal lover! We needed a sitter for our two medium‑large mixed male dogs, and she made time for a meet‑and‑greet before our trip to make sure our boys would get along with her cat (the chillest cat ever!) and to show us around. She was very flexible with timing and quick to respond. As I walked her through all of our dogs quirks, she picked things up right away — you can tell she has tons of experience. While we were away, Ariana sent consistent updates every morning and afternoon, always with the best pictures. Our family was busy nonstop on vacation, so I couldn’t always reply right away, but she still kept the updates coming. Her messages and photos were the highlight of our day and always made us stop for a moment to laugh at the stories she shared. She set a great routine for the dogs and let us know she made sure they were tired out before bedtime. They got plenty of playtime, and she even gave them with treats and delicious food toppers. Our older dog (8 years old) had some separation anxiety the first night, and Ariana immediately asked for suggestions and offered thoughtful ideas of her own. By the end of the week, he was doing so much better. Ariana mentioned she’s been dog‑sitting for a long time, and it definitely shows. I think our older dog was practically asking her to let him back inside her house when we picked them up! She even sent them home with goodie bags — they got so excited when they smelled them, almost like they knew they were from her! They had a great vacation too! 😁 We’re truly grateful for Ariana!!”
“Rhoda and Erik were amazing with Mamba, even on short notice! She loves staying with them, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent! Awesome couple who providing great attention, service, and care for our Buddy boy. Very timely with daily videos and photos throughout the day. Provided updates and recommendations for Buddy. Highly recommended, will book again next time.”
“This was our second time booking Jackie and Jorge, and once again, we couldn’t be happier! Brody absolutely adores them, and it’s such a relief knowing he’s in safe, loving hands while we’re away. They always keep us updated with pictures, and I love how at home Brody feels with them 💖 Thank you so much. Highly recommend! 😊”
“As usual Martin comes through on taking very good care of my dogs. I’ve used his services at least 5 times already and will continue to do so as long as he will have us.”
“Tanya was available on very short notice and she sent pictures and videos of her. She kept us updated and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times as well. I would highly recommend!”
“Carlson was very sweet with my pup and very patient about the whole process. She was kind and very accommodating I felt I could relax away from my dog and she gave daily updates so I could see how he was doing which put my mind at ease I would recommend them and will plan on using their service again. Thank you!”
“Kelly was fantastic! You can tell she is an animal lover. Her facility (home) was perfect for feeding, exercise and sleep for our pup. She sent us pictures every day & let us know how things were going. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Priscilla is awesome. She took care of our dog and we are impressed with the care. Our little Rex was safe and had plenty of space to play and run around. Will be using her service again”
“Arlene and her son took great care of our dog! She was able to relax inside or in the yard, and we felt more comfortable that there were no other pets in the house. Arlene is great about communication and sharing photos. We look forward to booking with her again!”

“We highly recommend skyler for her great care she provided our 2 dogs & cat. We had about 2 wk international trip, with Skyler help she took amazing care of our family pets. Morning & evening visits, giving them play time everyday. Out pets felt comfortable & safe with her, we will work definitely again in the future with skyler.”
About: Much like with dogs, I've helped take care of family friends and neighbor's cats upon request. While they weren't the type of pet my parents keep in the house, I adore them and love to do whatever I can to make sure they're happy and well taken care of.
“Haley was absolutely amazing with our two cats. We also ended up getting caught by a blizzard and needed her services for an extra 2 days and she was so willing and responsive to help us. It really meant the world to us and it's exactly the kind of peace of mind you want if you're going to trust someone with the care of your furry family members.”
“Danielle was wonderful to our baby boy! Open to schedule flexibility and showed up on time each day. She took Wonderful photos and kept his litter box area very clean! She even recorded a video of singing happy birthday to him while we out and it was so cute! Thanks Danielle!”
“Becky has been phenomenal. Responds right away anytime I’ve messaged her, very respectful, reliable, punctual. Most importantly our cat loves her. We will be sure and see if she can help us in the future.”
“Brad is great! I set out to make a more comfortable experience for my dogs while I was away and Brad provided that. The pictures speak volumes! He's on time, tentative, and involved. My boys loved him. Thank you for keeping them safe and updating me with your visits!”
“Kylie was exceptional! She watched my 2 cats while I was in Ireland. Never hired a pet sitter for drop in visits and I am glad I chose Kylie. Communication was great & loved the pics she would send. I will definitely book Kylie again! She’s awesome.”
“Britney was amazing. I appreciate how responsive she was and she took very good care of my cats while we were away. She was even able to get one of my very shy kittens to warm up to her. I would definitely go with her again.”
“Kayla was AMAZING !! I had to have a sitter super last minute due to car troubles and my very skittish cat seemed to warm up to her very quickly!! Kayla sent feedback, updates and photos of my baby every visit keeping me assured during my trip! Especially as a first time user of Rover !! She was extremely responsive and quick and 100% I will be coming back if I’m ever out of town again,, especially since you n Venus are besties now XD Thank you again!!!!”
About: Hi! I’m originally from SC where I dog-sat, boarded pets, and fostered animals alongside my sister who also used Rover. As I’ve now moved to Texas, I’d love to continue working with animals myself. I’m very communicative, sending pictures with every check in and notes with how they’re doing, I can be very flexible depending on your pet’s needs, and of course I try to be considerate when in other people’s homes. I love all animals and always try to go above and beyond to make sure they’re not bored or without good pets and loving while you’re away! I’m in the military but my schedule is currently very minimal, I’m available throughout the week mostly for drop ins or short term dog sitting. I always make sure to treat other’s homes just as I’d want someone to treat mine. I make sure to stay in designated areas with the pets and always make sure to clean up after myself or pick up any messes pets might’ve made.

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Rose and Her husband Tito. So accommodating. This was a last minute decision and she was readily available. We were wanting to take the kids to six flags but were worried we weren’t going to be able to without dog care. Our pup has anxiety for days when being boarded. Rose was the perfect solution. When we picked him up he was the same happy pup we left. She sent me frequent pics and updated without being asked. She had several others she was watching and it worked out perfectly. Our dog had friends to play with. He got to roam and wasn’t kept locked up. We will definitely be using her again. And I highly recommend her to anyone else. We were just passing through as we live 4 hours away. We just did a one day trip but knowing how much fun our dog had we will definitely be booking overnights with her. Even if it means coming out of our way to drop him off. We can have a great time no matter where we are knowing he is being well cared for. We got to go to six flags and kids had a great time. A win for all!”
“The pups always have such an amazing time at Lauren’s! They love playing with the kiddos and pups. She gave me updates on them throughout the day which I was so thankful For. Thank you so much!”
“Steph has done numerous drop ins for my dogs, but today she let my dogs and my foster do doggy day camp for the day at her beautiful place so that I could go and see my grandma one more time. My dogs are so tired and fulfilled! I will def be booking again when I need someone I know I can trust with my furbabies!”
“Erika was amazing!!!! She kept me updated through out the day and accommodated my work hours. I will definitely be going to her from now! If you are thinking of booking with her do it! Your furry friend will receive great care!”
About: Home boarding with limited capacity. A calm, family-style environment with a structured routine and constant supervision. Ideal for dogs who thrive on stability, consistency, and a peaceful setting. Dogs are cared for in a structured home environment with planned rest periods. Crates are used positively for meals, sleep, and safety when needed. Overnight Boarding Home boarding in a calm, structured environment. Dogs are not kept in playgroups and are encouraged to rest between short, managed outings. Capacity is intentionally limited. Pricing • Overnight boarding: $50 per night (2-night minimum) Pricing reflects limited capacity, full-time supervision, and a structured, low-stimulation environment. Calm Day Boarding Calm day boarding for dogs who already do well here or as an initial assessment before overnight stays. This service is not traditional daycare. Dogs are not kept in playgroups or overstimulated throughout the day. Instead, they rotate through supervised indoor time, rest periods, and short outdoor breaks. Rate: $45 for the full day Availability is intentionally limited to maintain a calm, controlled environment. Assessment Stays New dogs may be asked to start with a calm day boarding or a short overnight stay before longer bookings are accepted. I’m home full-time, which allows me to maintain consistent routines and provide hands-on supervision throughout the day. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily schedule, not something I fit in between other commitments. This allows for predictable routines, timely breaks, and a calm, well-managed environment. Safety and structure are a top priority in my home. I intentionally keep capacity very limited so that each dog receives individual attention and proper supervision. Dogs are never left unsupervised during interactions. Rest periods are built into the day, and dogs are rotated as needed to maintain a calm and controlled environment. Meals are served separately, and all dogs follow a predictable routine to reduce stress and overstimulation. My home is set up to support calm boarding, with designated rest areas and clear boundaries to ensure comfort and safety for everyone.
“Apollo & Frankie enjoyed a funday with Abel & Alisa along with their furry babies. They are well taken care of with lots of running around in the yard & playing puzzles, watching tv, eating snacks. This was there 2nd visit & definitely would schedule another fun day in the near future. Thanks to both of them.”
“Becky did a great job! She quickly responded to our request, she was friendly and kind to interact with, and most importantly, our furry little guy was a happy camper when we picked him up. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”

About: I've been an animal lover before I could walk. I've taken care of animals large and small, from horses to hamsters. I spent 10 years in the Marines working alongside and training with the military working dogs. My sidekick is Scarlett, a mellow mannered lab mix who loves every critter, even my mom's raccoon. Scarlett is a great partner for helping socialize other dogs and is always up for cuddles on the couch with new cat friends. I'm currently medically retired from the military with plenty of time and not enough critters to fill it with. My dog, Scarlett is always wanting a play date too. I live in an animal friendly apartment with a great dog park in the complex and only a short drive from an enormous park where your fur baby can run free. Also, I am more than happy to help your fur baby feel more comfortable by coming to them and being the guest in their castle instead

“Working with Catherine is my first time using this app and I couldn’t be happier! She took great care of my pup and was accommodating with my sporadic schedule for walks and potty breaks. Will continue to work with her!”
About: Hi! I’m originally from SC where I dog-sat, boarded pets, and fostered animals alongside my sister who also used Rover. As I’ve now moved to Texas, I’d love to continue working with animals myself. I’m very communicative, sending pictures with every check in and notes with how they’re doing, I can be very flexible depending on your pet’s needs, and of course I try to be considerate when in other people’s homes. I love all animals and always try to go above and beyond to make sure they’re not bored or without good pets and loving while you’re away! I’m in the military but my schedule is currently very minimal, I’m available throughout the week mostly for drop ins or short term dog sitting. I always make sure to treat other’s homes just as I’d want someone to treat mine. I make sure to stay in designated areas with the pets and always make sure to clean up after myself or pick up any messes pets might’ve made.

“From the meet and greet to dropping off and picking up, Jorge was very accommodating and made the process super easy. Palmer clearly had plenty of fun as he more or less slept for a few days after we got home. We received plenty of updates and photos. I especially appreciate the extra care and attentiveness that was given to Palmer as Palmer found a way to cut on foot days before we were set to leave. Jorge said it was no problem and Palmer was treated well while the wound was healing. I will absolutely be happy to contact Jorge again next time we go out of town.”
“Robin was fantastic with our guys, the pictures she sent showed them relaxed and happy. It was our first time boarding them and we'd definitely work with Robin again!”
“Jeremy took amazing care of our dog Ziggy while we were on our trip to Florida. He was incredibly easy to work with, very understanding, and made the whole experience stress‑free. Ziggy was happy, well‑cared for, and clearly comfortable with him. We truly appreciate his reliability and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“Jenna and Robert watched our two babies for a couple of days and we couldn’t be happier! We got so many great pics while we were away which eased my mind! Thank you all so much and I highly recommend them for your babies!”
“Our Bailey enjoyed her long weekend with Amanda, her Family and the other pups. We felt secure about Bailey being away from home because of all the great photos sent by Amanda. Thank You!”
“Ariana is amazing and truly an animal lover! We needed a sitter for our two medium‑large mixed male dogs, and she made time for a meet‑and‑greet before our trip to make sure our boys would get along with her cat (the chillest cat ever!) and to show us around. She was very flexible with timing and quick to respond. As I walked her through all of our dogs quirks, she picked things up right away — you can tell she has tons of experience. While we were away, Ariana sent consistent updates every morning and afternoon, always with the best pictures. Our family was busy nonstop on vacation, so I couldn’t always reply right away, but she still kept the updates coming. Her messages and photos were the highlight of our day and always made us stop for a moment to laugh at the stories she shared. She set a great routine for the dogs and let us know she made sure they were tired out before bedtime. They got plenty of playtime, and she even gave them with treats and delicious food toppers. Our older dog (8 years old) had some separation anxiety the first night, and Ariana immediately asked for suggestions and offered thoughtful ideas of her own. By the end of the week, he was doing so much better. Ariana mentioned she’s been dog‑sitting for a long time, and it definitely shows. I think our older dog was practically asking her to let him back inside her house when we picked them up! She even sent them home with goodie bags — they got so excited when they smelled them, almost like they knew they were from her! They had a great vacation too! 😁 We’re truly grateful for Ariana!!”
“Excellent! Awesome couple who providing great attention, service, and care for our Buddy boy. Very timely with daily videos and photos throughout the day. Provided updates and recommendations for Buddy. Highly recommended, will book again next time.”
“As usual Martin comes through on taking very good care of my dogs. I’ve used his services at least 5 times already and will continue to do so as long as he will have us.”
“Tanya was available on very short notice and she sent pictures and videos of her. She kept us updated and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times as well. I would highly recommend!”
“Carlson was very sweet with my pup and very patient about the whole process. She was kind and very accommodating I felt I could relax away from my dog and she gave daily updates so I could see how he was doing which put my mind at ease I would recommend them and will plan on using their service again. Thank you!”
“Kelly was fantastic! You can tell she is an animal lover. Her facility (home) was perfect for feeding, exercise and sleep for our pup. She sent us pictures every day & let us know how things were going. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Arlene and her son took great care of our dog! She was able to relax inside or in the yard, and we felt more comfortable that there were no other pets in the house. Arlene is great about communication and sharing photos. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Jennifer did a great job. Even going as far as getting him a few extra toys to play with. My pup enjoyed being there and I could tell he didnt want to leave lol. Will recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter”
“Britney took such wonderful care of my dog, Lucky! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving and capable hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay with regular communication, pictures, and details about his activities, which meant so much to me. It was clear from the photos and updates that Lucky was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Britney went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for and treated like part of the family. I truly appreciated her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Britney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Lucky thoroughly enjoyed his stay, and I would gladly book with her again!”
“Tania came through for us once again! We had a last-minute booking, and she was still able to accommodate us. As always, we were able to leave town knowing our girl was well taken care of. She has the perfect doggy vacation setup with comfy beds and a large backyard.”
“Loved boarding sky with jones and her family. I felt 100% at peace knowing my baby was staying with her. And sky sure does love playing Salt and the rest of her gang ??”
“Kathy has a really organized dog sitting space. Her backyard works well for my active dog. She is clear when she can and can't care for your pet and is straight-forward wait time works for her family. If something changes on her end she apologizes and always tries to be fair. Excellent boarder!”
