About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, including pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to provide personalized attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, companionship, or overnight care, I strive to maintain their normal routine and provide consistent, reliable care. I respond promptly to messages and provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain a clean and secure environment, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I take time to build trust with every animal, ensure they receive plenty of supervision, and provide updates throughout their stay. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to create a calm, loving experience.

“Lilieka was wonderful! She communicated promptly throughout the entire stay and took such great care of my fur baby.

My dog Toby stayed with Victoria for a couple days. I was sent pictures of his stay and he certainly looked engaged with the other dogs. Home was clean and there was a separate room for the dogs. Victoria was personable and I felt at ease leaving Toby in her care. Will certainly use her services again
Asante was absolutely amazing with Gwen. She cared for her as if she was her own pupper. We pulled up to pick Gwen up and they had actually just come out for a walk. Before they noticed us we were able to see how much Gwen was enjoying her time. Asante was very communicative and sent a bunch of pictures throughout the stay. She was accommodating when our plans changed and we had to extend her boarding for an additional day. Her positive attitude and willingness to work with us made us feel so comfortable with her watching our baby. We will definitely use her again!
Natasha was absolutely fantastic with Novi! She was flexible, an excellent communicator, and provided exceptional care from start to finish. She kept me updated with photos, videos, and thoughtful messages throughout the stay, including checking in whenever she had a question or concern. That level of communication gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. At no point did I ever worry that Novi wasn’t in great hands. I would absolutely trust Natasha with Novi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter!
Timothy has watched Marley twice now, and we absolutely love him! He is kind, reliable, and truly cares about the dogs he watches. Every time Marley stays with him, I know he’s in great hands. Timothy always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. He’s attentive to Marley’s needs, makes sure he’s comfortable, and treats him like one of his own. Marley always comes home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Timothy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. We’ll definitely continue booking with him whenever we need someone to watch Marley. Thank you again, Timothy, for taking such amazing care of Marley!
Shanique was so kind and nice. I told her how nervous I was leaving my dog due to a previous terrible experience using Rover, she reassure me multiple time that my dog was in good hands. While away it was my doggy’s bday and she made sure to celebrate it making him feel special and celebrated with his new doggy friends. She was always updating me with pictures. I highly recommend and I will definitely be booking with her again. My dog was so happy before, during and after. Showing that he was well taken care of
This is my first time using Rover.com service. I'm very pleased with the service. I was given a choice for dog sitters. I chose Shronda. She was only 3 miles form me. She took very good care of my granddaughters Yorkie. She provided me with pictures. Shronda provided good care for Cookie for 8-9days. Thank you again Shronda and Rover.
This is the 10th time I believe that Mary has watched our pups. This trip was almost 2 weeks and they did great. Mary sends pictures and videos so we know how the pups are doing. When we get close to her house the pups start barking with excitement because they know they will be staying with Mary. We appreciate her so much. We never worry when she cares for our pups.
Absolutely a 10-star experience from start to finish! I was gone for a week on a cruise, and she made the entire time stress-free. She went above and beyond in every single way. She did everything I asked and even surprised us with a complimentary bath for our dog at the end — he came home smelling fresh and happy! Her home was spotless and perfectly prepared, truly a safe and cozy place for our baby to sleep, wake up, play, and relax. She took him on multiple walks every day, keeping him active, loved, and well cared for. Communication was perfect — she sent us pictures and videos throughout the day and checked in at least twice, sometimes three times. It gave us total peace of mind the entire week. Everything was perfect. Highly, highly recommended!
Breanna did an excellent job taking care of my dog! She made him feel safe and welcome within just a few minutes if meeting her. He adjusted so well with being in her home and quickly became comfortable with Breanna and her pups. He even made new friends! I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave him. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Riverdale is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $48 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 3,150 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Riverdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Riverdale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Riverdale home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Riverdale.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverdale. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
You and your Riverdale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
