“Sophia 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 you’re looking for someone to take care of your dog. You won’t regret it.”
About: I have a chiwennie dog who loves swimming and going on walks with me. I love being active while giving unconditional love to my pup. I am a gymnastics coach, who has a very flexible schedule. Walking dogs will be a great way to fill my time while being outside of the gym. I give my dog lots of attention and love daily. I frequently give her baths and take her on walks. We also spend time together in the pool and at parks. As for my cats I love spending time with, cuddling, and caring for, which has given me experience with a variety of pet personalities and needs.

About: I’ve house and dog sat for multiple people. I have also owned and taken care of my own pets since a young age. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, livestock, and small animals. I currently work at a vet clinic and am in school to become a vet tech. Pet care always comes first. When I’m not working, pets are my number one priority. We’ll play until tired, walk when the weather permits, and work on any training you see fit to be done. In my own home my pets get all the play time they need, all the attention they could ask for, and all the outdoor time they could desire. I monitor all play, indoor and out, and make sure they aren’t going too hard or getting too over heated. Your pets would get the same treatment. And god forbid anything we’re to happen to them I know what to do in an emergency situation.
About: Hello, my name is Zoey and I am 22 years old. A little bit about me is I love children and pets alike and will treat both the same. I’m aspiring to become an elementary school teacher and I have a 6 year old daughter and a 7 month old babygirl! I have always been around animals growing up, I had 6 dogs in my house growing up and my grandma was a crazy cat lady who constantly had strays hanging around. I have one cat named Mainfluff who is as gentle as a baby but he mostly stays outside. I also have a male golden retriever pup named Moose and a female doberman pup named Ash! I will love your pet (s) as if they were my own! I am a mother to a 6 year old girl and a 7 month old babygirl. I work at a school so I’m off for the summer but I do have to do school drop off and pick up for my 6 year old. I love animals and based on your pet and their needs, I will adapt to meet them. I am completely okay with walks, outside time, park visits, car rides, baths, etc. I will play with them as much as you or they want and I am perfectly fine with cuddling on them as if they were mine!

During the week 8am-3pm I may not be available to walk dogs, but inquiry is recommended.Anytime before or after should be fine! I AM NOW currently boarding dogs will happily and responsibly house sit with your dog(s) , during the evening for multiple hours or overnight on weekends if needed.
“We love Sydney! She is super reliable and trustworthy, and our animals adore her. We hired her to watch our cat Kitty this time around, and as always, she did a fantastic job. You can't go wrong in hiring her. She is terrific!”
About: (Note for new families: I am able to do on base and off base services) I love furry, feathery, and scaly friends to the moon and back! I have an open schedule, and I try to be as accommodating as possible. I grew up with what I feel is almost every type of animal imaginable, so nothing gets past me. I have also grown up around many litters of puppies, so I have experience bottle-feeding and attending to needs. I also have dealt with animals diagnosed with dementia and other health problems they just need a little extra love and time is all! I also have handled disabled pets including missing appendages and paralysis. I love being able to give pets the attention and time they need and deserve while the owners can be worry-free. Pet care is my priority! I currently don’t have a job since I just moved to this area a couple of months ago so I am completely available to give furry friends the attention they need. Since I am not in a position to take pets into my own home I try to be my absolute best wherever I am! I am a big advocate for respect not only to others but their property as well so when working with clients and their homes I hold myself to a standard of leaving everything as it was unless specifically told otherwise. Doing this can also help me build trust with the pet simply as an acknowledgment that I understand that it is their territory and I am in their space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 829 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Riverdale 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 Riverdale. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
