“Mr. Ray is awesome with our puppy! He always sends a picture and makes sure our dog does his business and gets a chance to run around before having to go back in his cage while we are at work. Mr. Ray is super kind and responsive and we are very appreciative of his help!!”
“Sarah is incredible! She has pet sit for my cat a few times now and every time I feel more comfortable and at ease with someone else taking care of my furbaby. I get personalized pictures and videos of her giving Boots affection and playing with her. Boots is particular about people and I can tell from the images that she is so comfortable with her. I will be sticking with Sarah for the long haul with any pets I have now, and in the future.”
“Lucky went above & beyond for my fur kids! By far the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! I knew my dogs & cats were getting lots of love and play time. Lucky sent so many cute pictures and always kept me uodated-I could tell the kids were happy while I was away. Even during a big thunderstorm-Lucky gave extra comfort to my dogs. Very flexible with my pets schedule. I already have another pet sitting session scheduled with Lucky. Thank you for all that you did, Lucky! 🍀✨✨✨”

“We love Nicole and so does my dog. She was quick to respond and made the whole process easy. This is my second time booking with Nicoe and I will keep on using her.

“Bryanna did a great job taking care of my cat Sunny. She is personable,responsible, and has a way with animals. My shy cat came to greet her on the very first day. I loved getting pictures and updates every day. I was able to relax on my trip and I came home to a happy cat. I will definitely call Bryanna for any future trips.”
“Hannah was great. She responds quickly to messages and communicates well. My cat liked her right away. It was the first time I have used a service like this rather than imposing on friends and neighbors. I am happy to have found Hannah, and will definitely call upon her in the future.”
About: We always had dogs in the house growing up. We raised a german shepherd, golden retriever, brittany spaniel, Great Dane, malamute, black labs, and more. I am very comfortable around bigger dogs and would love to take care of yours! I lost my black lab German shepherd a couple years ago. I took a fur baby break, but now I have my baby puppy Luna who is a golden retriever mix. We also grew up with cats. For the month of July I am working part time so I have more time to look after your fur babies. For the month of July I work part time so I have extra free time to look after your fur babies. My weekdays are more free than my weekends. I have a fenced in yard to keep you pup(s) safe to spend lots of time outside and explore. I would also love to drop in and will double check the lock upon leaving.
About: I have been working in dog rescue and animal care for over 15 years. My family and I have rescued and fostered over 150 dogs anywhere from 8 week old puppies to senior dogs. I know how to work with every breed…personally I have a rescued pitbull and daniff (mastiff Great Dane mix, 150lbs) at home so I know how to work with and handle large dogs. I cannot have my dogs at school so I would love to help out and walk/play with dogs for people who may be away from home for long periods…I will treat your animal like and king or queen☺️ I have a pretty open class and practice schedule, however the most time I have open is on weekends and weekdays around noon and in the evening I know how to follow all instructions for whether and animal has a fenced in yard and/or need a leash or long lead for walking/playing outside. I do not offer services in my home as I live in campus housing but I am more than happy to pet sit in owners home and/or take animals on walks and potty breaks.
About: I show the same love and care to every pet I encounter as if they were my own. Any pet that is in my care will feel safe and happy. I am a stay at home father so I have plenty of time to schedule walks and drop ins. I am available most mornings and afternoons. If in house service is needed I will make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. Any instructions provided to me will be followed to the tee.
About: I work from home so your pet will not be left home alone for extended periods of time. I am kind, compassionate, and patient. I have knowledge of working with a variety of pet personalities, including those shy and nervous. I have extensive experience working with dogs including working in a boarding kennel, at a pet store, and at a dog park. I also have 15 years of house and pet sitting experience. My personal experience includes being around dogs my entire life. My family has always had them in the home and once I moved out, I gained a couple of my own. I have two dogs who are 100% pet friendly. I specialize in sensitive and older dogs who may have a hard time at a boarding kennel or in a more lively home. I have both a rescue and older dog who are sensitive and unable to be boarded outside of the home. I know how difficult this can be and would love to open my home to your pet when you are in need. Iwould like to make your dog sitter situation as stress-free as possible, and am willing to do what is required to diminish the worry that comes with leaving your pets in the care of someone else. My home is an excellent environment for the more particular pets, as it is tailored to my own. I live in a ranch with no other people in the home. There are no stairs and the majority of the floor is carpet, perfect for pets who have issues with mobility or fear regarding flooring. Pets are always given the option to socialize with us but if they prefer to be on their own to rest. We will not have visitors while your pup is a guest. I am a public school employee and do not work out of the home over the summer. Your pet will get plenty of attention and entertainment. I care for your dog as if it were my own. I can make accommodations on a dog by dog basis. My personal dogs have wildly different needs and I recognize that not all dogs have the same needs. I will do what is necessary to keep your dog happy, healthy, and safe.
About: Loving both puppies and senior pet has to be a unconditional thing.

Ciara M.
“I have know Ciara for many years now, as a dog owner and Volunteer for Last Day Dog Rescue, an all Volunteer foster based dog and cat rescue located in SE Michigan. Ciara has been an outstanding Volunteer: taking diligent & loving care of her own family dogs and of the foster dogs looking for their fur-ever homes. Fostering is not always easy; because our Volunteers are not always familiar with the history of the dogs & cats we rescue, we have to be quick learners and interpreters of the behaviors and needs of our foster dogs and cats. Ciara has championed that skill and will be an asset to the Rover.com organization. She is a pro at reading dog and cat body language and will be able to take good care of her charges at Rover.com. I highly recommend Ciara!”

“**Review for Dog Walking Service** I recently hired a dog walking service, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very beginning, the team was professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about dogs. They took the time to understand my dog's unique needs and personality, which gave me peace of mind. Each walk was tailored to suit my dog's energy levels and preferences. I received daily updates and adorable photos, which showed just how much fun my pup was having. The walker was punctual, reliable, and clearly experienced in handling dogs of all sizes. Not only did my dog return home happy and tired, but I also felt reassured knowing he was in great hands. I highly recommend this dog walking service to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and caring companion for their furry friend!”
Riverdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Christopher and Cassandra are clearly dog lovers. I contracted for them to come to my house to feed and let my dog out for a day when neither my husband nor I would be home. Not only did they do that, but they gave her attention and even brushed out her coat. I would use their services again in a heartbeat.
Amy and her partner really go above and beyond the call of duty. When Amy does drop-in visits with my dogs, she notices things that don’t necessarily have to be in the purview of someone just caring for our pets. She really makes me feel like someone is watching out for me and my home as well.
