“First time using Rover so I was nervous but Kamron put me right at ease. He was friendly and listened well to my instructions. My cats warmed up to him right away and one of my cats doesn’t like strangers. His daily notes and photos were great and each day I was away I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands I would highly recommend Kamron.”

About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!
“Ranesha communicated well and quickly. She did everything as requested. I can’t thank her enough because my request was last minute. I’m confident my pups and I have met our forever friend”

“Heather is a wonderful caretaking to our English Bulldog, Chubbs! She spends quality time with him, takes him on nice long walks, and always updates us on how he's doing while we are away. We appreciate her so much and will continue to use her for pet care in the future!”


About: I am a dependable, patient, and caring pet sitter who enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs and cats by feeding them, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to providing excellent care while you’re away. I currently work part time my shifts are no longer than 7 hours. I get a 1 hour break and can walk, feed, and spend time with your pet during my break. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special routines. I will keep your home clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment.

About: My preferred name is Leo. I've been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I was responsible for helping care for three family dogs, including feeding, walking, playing with them, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I also grew up around cats, as my mom had several throughout the years, so I'm very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Today, I have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and attention that pets need. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them safe and comfortable while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work on my own schedule, so I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings as well. Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, daily visits, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I'll do my best to be there whenever you need reliable care for your pet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home clean, organized, and pet-friendly. I currently care for my own cat, who is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and well loved. I make sure all of my houseplants are non-toxic to pets, keep anything potentially dangerous out of reach, and provide plenty of toys, enrichment, and a cat tree for play and relaxation. I'm attentive to each pet's individual needs and always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, exercise, affection, and plenty of attention. I also have experience helping cats socialize through supervised playdates with friends' cats, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment. I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.
“Ariana was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, and I would happily book with her again. She came every day as scheduled, took great care of my dog, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire stay. One of my favorite parts was receiving the daily updates and photos. It was clear from the pictures that my dog was comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. If you’re considering booking Ariana, don’t let the number of reviews deter you. She is trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”

I have experience taking care of my own dog and I know the ins and outs and what’s needed to make sure your dog is in the best hands and taken care of. I have grew up around pets and taking care of them from doing things such as walking, feeding, playing with animals is one of the most fun and rewarding things for me.

I’m available for weekday visits and walks after 2 PM, with additional availability on weekends for drop-ins, dog walks, cat care, and pet sitting. I like to keep a dependable schedule so pets can stay close to their normal routine while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and treat the home with respect. I make sure pets have fresh water, food according to their routine, clean litter or potty breaks, safe walks, and plenty of attention. I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and entry access before leaving. I also pay attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and energy so I can provide calm, safe, and reliable care.
About: I’ve looked after all kinds of animals! (And believe me I mean all kinds) I’ve been official in pet care for 5yrs, but my family has always trusted me as the official pet sitter due to my patience, responsibility, and compassion. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and my genuine love for animals shows that. Whether they’re playful, senior, shy, or require extra attention, I care for every animal the way I’d want someone to care for my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I am a part time CNA, so my schedule is completely up to me! I love being in healthcare, but my real passion is pets! My schedule is always open unless I say otherwise! (I will always inform a client in advance about my plans) I provide warm, loving, and dependable home for pets of all kinds. I live in a family oriented neighborhood with plenty of space in the house, as well as a large front and partially fenced back yard! (And a large deck for those who love to sun bathe!) My neighborhood also forms a circle great for walks on a leash! I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet like family. I’ll care for your home and your pets with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I also offer extra kennels, leashes, bowls, and toys for those who are in a rush and simply forget!

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. 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.
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.
