About: I’ve always had a special love for animals, especially dogs. I truly believe pets are family, and they deserve patience, love, attention, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful and full of energy, shy and needing extra time to warm up, or just looking for some extra cuddles and companionship. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I’m experienced with caring for dogs through my own love and connection with animals, as well as spending time with pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with small to medium sized dogs and enjoy providing walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to make pet care a part of my routine. I’m someone who loves creating a calm and comfortable environment, and I enjoy taking the time to make pets feel safe and cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I know every pet is different so I always take the time to learn what makes your furry friend feel comfortable and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone with your furry family member, so I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I pay attention to details like their behavior, routine, and any changes they may show. I’m especially mindful with smaller and calmer dogs, making sure walks are safe, playtime is enjoyable, and your pet gets plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and being cared for.
“Monique did such a great job with my baby girl Kimora. Very caring and pays attention to details and reliable. Communicating Very well, definitely will be booking more with her.”
“Betty took great care of our two cats. She also did a great job communicating, letting us know if she was going to be a bit late to a check-in and even sending pictures of proof of cleaning the litter boxes 🙂. She also made friends with our less social cat, which was wonderful to see!”
About: I’m an animal lover, and have 2 cats of my own. I’ve recently returned to Atlanta after 4 years in Europe. I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs - at the peak we had 4 cats and 2 dogs. I’ve also done pet sitting for friends, family and internationally. I’ve volunteered and fostered dogs through LifeLine, so I have experience with a wide array of ages and temperaments. I have a hybrid job which gives me increased flexibility during the week to care for your family members. I work 9-5, but on my office days I can easily pop home at lunch to check on your pets. Other days of the week, I’ll be working at home. I have a fenced in back yard, so your dog can roam around and explore. I also have 3 bedrooms, so I can separate or crate pets as well as needed to ensure they’re safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve owned 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird! Very skilled in providing care to sickly or elderly pets. I have experience administering pills, chemotherapy, and injections to animals with special needs.

It’s great for getting wiggles out. 😌
About: I am currently working as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital, so I have a lot of experience with both dogs and cats.

I sometimes work half days on Saturdays, but would be available after 1:30pm on those days. I am available every Sunday. Taking care of animals is more than just feeding and physically caring for them. I make sure to bond with the animals so that we can have a connection and not just physical care.

At Scoop & Stay, I prioritize a clean, loving, and secure environment for every pet in my care—whether in my home or yours.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
Kerry did an amazing job caring for my girls. From the pictures and updates she sent, I could tell they felt comfortable and trusted her. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and support she provided while I was out of town. As a first-time mom navigating postpartum, being away from them was difficult, and Kerry went above and beyond to reassure me. Whenever I felt nervous or anxious, she made sure I knew they were doing well. She even sent me a video of my dog when I shared concerns that she might be missing me, which meant so much. Kerry made me feel completely comfortable and confident in her ability to care for my girls. She also captured some amazing group pictures that I will cherish. I highly recommend booking with her she is thoughtful, caring, and truly wonderful at what she does.
I can’t say enough good things about Mary. She took such amazing care of my dog, Pixie, while I was on vacation. From the start, Mary was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I got regular updates and photos that showed just how happy and comfortable Pixie was — it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, Pixie was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Mary again and highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. Thank you so much, Mary, for treating Pixie like your own! 🐾

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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Riverdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Riverdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
