About: I have over 21 years experience caring for dogs and cats. Through my volunteer work at animal shelters and pet sitting for family and friends I have developed an understanding for pet care needs. I currently have open availability for drop ins for early mornings and late nights to accommodate for 3rd shift. I am avaliable on weekends and some holidays for drop ins and walks but, unfortunately at the moment I'm not available for over night stays or boarding. My schedule is open for most of the day except between 4PM-8PM during the week. When sitting in your home I ensure your pets safety and follow all your care routines. I make sure your fur baby is well taken care of and loved.
“Amazing sitter! She sent so many pictures on the rover card and went above and beyond during the booking when there was a emergency. She followed all the instructions carefully and was always on-time. Will definitely book again! Highly recommend”
“Brianna is the kitty whisperer! One of my cats is super shy and doesn’t always come out when sitters come but she came out on Brianna’s first day! Brianna was super communicative, asked a lot of great questions to ensure she handled my babies needs with care and took the best pics of them both. We will definitely use Brianna for our future needs❤️❤️”
“Sean was our first experience hiring someone to look after our girls. He was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and spent time with our babies. One of them consistently had accidents while we were gone but Sean took care of it every single day no problem. He made sure to spend some time with them in the yard and gave them some brushing due to it being shedding season! Since he lives close to us, he would pop by in to check on them in the afternoon. One of our babies started showing some scary symptoms our last night of vacation and Sean cared as if it was one of his own babies. Sean was fantastic and we highly recommend hiring him!”

About: Hi! My name is Tyson, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. Growing up with pets taught me early on how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for animals. I currently work in childcare as a nanny and babysitter, and many of the families I work with also trust me with the care of their dogs inside their homes. Over the past seven years, I’ve gained experience caring for other people’s pets, including walking, feeding, bathing, nail trimming, and general grooming support. I also have my own Cane Corso at home, so I’m very comfortable handling large and strong breeds. Because of this, I’m confident managing leash pullers on walks and working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I pay close attention to dog body language and always aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment for every pet in my care. I’m an active person and love engaging with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment so they stay happy and stimulated. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and has a great time while you’re away. I do childcare as far as being a nanny from 2:40 pm to 6 PM Monday through Friday so I am available anytime before or after that time. And I am available all weekend long. When caring for pets, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would with their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions to help the pet stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while you’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, supervised environment where they can relax and stay active. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, and I make sure every dog gets proper exercise, structured walks, and positive interaction. I always pay close attention to body language and behavior to ensure all pets are comfortable and stress-free. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident that their pet is happy and in good hands.
“Lanae is trustworthy, attentive, and reliable. We feel good knowing that our Milo will be well cared for when we travel. She sends us great pictures and very detailed updates every drop in. We would highly recommend Lanae for your fur babies care.”

About: Hello! I’m Adreana and I've seen the nitty, the gritty, and the nasty...nothing can scare me away, trust me I volunteered for a shelter in college lol. In terms of my tangible experience, I've logged an immense amount of hours volunteering at animal shelters and pet-sitting for various friends and family. I'm a huge advocate for exercise and fitness for pets so if you leave your dog with me, I guarantee that we will be going on runs and playing outside. I have my own fur baby and she is my whole life, I’ve even opted out of having kids ?? doggies will do. I one day hope to own my own “no-kill” shelter. If you book me I promise your dog will thank you!

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! 🐾

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
