âSophia was very sweet and professional at all times. She took care of Bruno like it was her dog. We left completely comfortable to our weekend trip knowing he was in good hands. She spoiled him by giving him his daily belly rubs and playing with him. We came back to our Bruno boy and he was beyond happy to see us and could tell he was in good hands with her. I highly recommend Sophia if youâre looking for someone to take care of your dog. You wonât regret it.â
âI was on a trip in a completely different time zone and I always worry about my cats when Iâm away. However Letycia was on top of every single thing that I asked for my cats that I was able to stop worrying. She even left all of their dishes washed and clean, automatic litter box emptied, and floors clean from litter when I got home. This was my first time using Rover, and I think I lucked out with an amazing sitter. I will 100% book with her again!â
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 45 yrs small, medium and large. I love their many personalities. They are treated like family not just pets I have a big backyard for your fur baby too run and play in. I take your pet out to play ball (if there able to) Your pet will not be alone throughout the day and will definitely be loved. I have a fenced in backyard. My male Golden Retriever is 9 yrs old and still loves to play. He has been neutered. I can create your fur baby if you prefer.
âAnnashaye did a fantastic job with taking care of our cat! She sent pictures everyday and made sure to leave some comments on how our cat was doing etc. I really recommend booking with Annashaye.â
âBarbara is amazing! She took such great care of Sandy while we were vacationing in Cabo. She sent pictures and updates daily. She was so caring and I know Sandy is going to miss her. We definitely will use Barbara again. The best!â
âKeira provided great services for me and my momâs kitties. She left just the right amounts of food and the litter boxes were cleaned. It was nice to come home to a fresh smelling house after our weekend away.â
About: Iâve been blessed to have worked with numerous of breeds on things such as; leash training, obedience, patience & a few other house training tricks Im up early to keep the pups cool & safe & Iâd like to get out & walk more & whatâs a better way to exercise; with animals! I have a heavy big baby boy that lays on everything*especially pillows* as every animal Iâve owned so their comfort is always my first priority
âSecond time working with Alexis and we are very grateful for her. She went above and beyond for us when she came into the home for a check in and noticed our dog was shaking and scared because of a beeping noise in the house. She went out of her way to help fix the problem to calm our dog. Very appreciate!â
About: Iâve had dogs my entire life and really started to help take care of them when I was around 15. I dog sit for family and for friends whenever they need and have always enjoyed it! Pet care for me is whenever Iâm available. I do work part time and Iâm a full time student but even if I am busy I can make time for your fur baby! I wonât be able to care for dogs in my own home because I am in an apartment. I will take care of the animal however the owner (you) recommends, and will make sure the animal gets a lot of love/attention! :)
âEmily is just an amazing girl!!! She took care of my cat like she was her own. This is the first time we've left her home and with a sitter. We could not have found a better personâ
âMoon did a great job with my girls. She is prompt and keeps in communication well. I love the pictures she provided so I can see my girls while Iâm away. I would definitely recommend Moon. Thank you MoonđžâĽď¸đžâ

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Riverdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 862 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverdale. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 Riverdale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
