“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!”
“Kristen was fantastic with our two indoor cats and was incredibly supportive of some separation needs we had with the two during this week. Meds, play, and even a few photos of our outdoor cat kept us informed and grateful. Thank you, Kristen!”
“I felt so comfortable with Lanae watching our two cats. I appreciated the many photos and details about how they were doing. She was caring and thorough. I would definitely book again.”
“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❤️❤️”

That experience made me fall in love with taking care of animals again . My space has a yard and I have a pretty decent size living room. I am at home and available to take the pet for walks and give the care they need. I currently work from home and on the days I may need to go in , I have a pet friendly work place. I'll also adjust my schedule accordingly I have a fenced in yard and also have a wide bathtub to take or your pets both cosmetically and socially.

I have 2 cats that are very friendly. My neighborhood is great for walking dogs and getting outside time.
“I have such amazing things to say about Marisa!! First of all she is just a great person! Second off, I have a very stubborn 6 year old German shepherd that is extremely protective of his home and somewhat standoffish at first. We had a meet and greet a few days before our trip and max seemed to like her so we felt confident it would work out. After several treats and a few visits max warmed right up to her and now they are best buds! She took her time and got to know the big sweet boy underneath his stubbornness lol! We will definitely be rebooking with her every time we are out of town! I recommend her 1000%!”

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!
About: I am a fun loving energetic mommy to a 5 year old and a 1 year old boxer and an 11 year old little guy. I work from home and have been for about 5 years now so I have lots of down time that I would love to spend with your fur babies. I have grown up with animals my entire life! Outside of my dogs I have housed turtles, fish and iguanas. I am very open to allowing doggies throughout all rooms of my home, considering my doggy is allowed anywhere! To add, I am very specific about providing the exact instructed care needed for your pet. Our home will be provided as a loving safe haven for your fur babies. We love to love in this home! :) I currently work from home. My morning are pretty clear and filled with outside activities. The afternoons are more relaxed and hosted inside. We try to implement a detailed schedule weekly I have a fenced yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. I allow my little ones free range around the house so you loved one will have just as much access as them. We have a crate for crate trained pets.
About: Hey my name is Brionna short for Brii and I love animals especially dogs and cats. I've taken care of a lot of animals over the course of 10 years I got my first dog from a breeding kennel when I was 10. He was a Yorkie Yorkshire and his name was Midnight. And I can tell you he was the best dog you could ever ask for. He was there for me through thick and thin, I actually lost him around my birthday in January 2 years ago and it broke my heart so much. I nursed him when he got really sick from his blood sugar being to low because he was the smaller one of his siblings but I loved him all just the same. I currently volunteer at an animal shelter where I help care for dogs and cats with different personalities and energy levels, including the shy anddd the anxious. Animals have always had a soft place in my heart so whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone calm and caring around while you’re away, I’d love to help. I’m comfortable with cats, small dogs, large dogs, and high-energy pets. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine naturally because I already care for animals in my home and through volunteering. Each day, I’m responsible for my cat Domino, making sure he’s fed, groomed, exercised, and given attention and care throughout the day. I also care for my husky, Ice, who keeps me active with daily walks, playtime, and structured routine. On a weekly basis, I volunteer at the Fulton County Animal Services (Lifeline Project), where I help care for and socialize cats with different personalities and needs. Because animals are already a big part of my everyday life, I’m very consistent, attentive, and comfortable fitting pet care into my schedule reliably. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and calm, especially in new environments or when they are anxious. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean while making sure the pet is well cared for and comfortable. I also like to provide hourly update’s and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy.

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! 🐾

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.
