About: I’ve always been happiest around animals. Between my background in Veterinary Technology, experience in dog grooming, volunteering at my local animal shelter, and having pets my whole life, I’ve had the opportunity to work with all kinds of personalities. I love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and understood. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Pet care naturally fits into my routine through my experience caring for my own pets, volunteering at an animal shelter, and my animal care background. I enjoy providing reliable attention, companionship, and care for pets. I focus on making each pet feel comfortable by following their normal routine and paying attention to their individual personality and needs. I have experience with a variety of animals through my personal pets, shelter volunteering, grooming training, and animal care education. I prioritize safety, patience, communication with owners, and providing a positive experience while they’re away.

About: I am very passionate about animals, I currently have one cat of my own and before she came along I was grew up with two dogs who lived to be fifteen and sixteen years old. At the moment I am only work part time so I have plenty of time to stop by and take care of your dog or cat I tend to avoid other dogs and do not have any in my home. When I go to the dog park, I prefer to wait until it’s empty and my dog can have free run.

About: Hi :)) I love exercising and being outdoors and nothing is better than doing that with a dog! I love walking and taking care of dogs and I have plenty of experience with dogs (young and old) and their dietary needs, exercise/physical concerns, and making sure that their overall wellbeing is taken care of and adored :)) Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I’m currently in school part time, as well as studying for my CPA exams, so I have a flexible schedule! I typically exercise early, it could be very early (6am) to 2:00pm in the evening, so I am very open between those times any day of the week to take care of your pet(s) :)) Please let me know what you would like for me to do for your dog (pets), their dietary and exercise/physical needs, and if house sitting along with your pet, what I need to do specifically for your household to ensure a smooth experience! I am more than willing to accommodate and want to make sure everyone is happy and healthy!

About: I provide intentional, attentive care, treating every pet like my own. I don’t just “watch” pets; I engage with them, learn their routines, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience with puppy training (basic commands, leash manners, crate and potty training), along with public access and service animal training. I’m patient, consistent, and focused on building strong habits. I’m also experienced in senior pet care, including gentle handling, medication support, and slower-paced walks tailored to their comfort and mobility. * For cat care, I respect each cat’s personality, whether they’re social or more independent. I’m attentive to litter box cleanliness, feeding routines, enrichment, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. Whether your pet is high-energy or needs extra care, you can count on dependable service, clear communication, and regular updates with photos. Pet care fits naturally into my day since I work from home, which allows me to be present, flexible, and attentive. I’m able to maintain consistent schedules for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime without long gaps in supervision. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets get more than just check-ins. They get companionship, engagement, and close monitoring. I can easily adjust to their routine, whether that means midday walks, reinforcing training, or providing extra comfort for senior pets. My schedule allows me to give pets the time, structure, and attention they deserve while keeping owners updated with regular communication and photos. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor breaks and play. Pets are always supervised, and I’m mindful of introductions, boundaries, and maintaining a low-stress atmosphere. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. Not only do I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, triggers, and preferences, and I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and pets in training. Whether it’s reinforcing routines, administering basic medications, or providing a safe, structured environment, I aim to give you complete peace of mind with regular updates and photos.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards and more since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for years to care for their pets. I’m currently unemployed and a stay at home mom. The kids are going back to school and I’d really love to try and fill my day with some activities that bring me joy, such as caring for sweet fur babies. I feed, groom and bathe, and play with all the pets I’ve been responsible for since the age of 10. I can’t wait to meet yours!
About: As a family, we've always had pets, and we enjoy our 4-yr-old goldendoodle Moose, but he loves to play and is looking forward to having new friends come stay with us! I work from home, and can let the dogs in and out of the house to the fenced backyard throughout the day. We'll play with them in the yard, and can also take them for walks in our neighborhood if requested. Our backyard is large and fully fenced, and we also have a covered screened-in porch off of our back deck, which has a doggie door to the yard. We have a large crate here at our house if your dog uses one, or you are welcome to bring your own.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 14 years now, including my own and many friends, neighbors, and family. I work as a veterinarian. I’m willing to bathe your pets in addition to their basic needs. I know how to administer injections and other medications your pet may need. I take my currents pets out 3 times a day, and feed twice daily. I like taking them to parks once to twice a week if the owner is okay with that. I would take them out as many times as you see fit before and after class. If your pet is social they can play with my 10.5 year old and 3yr old. Both are very dog friendly and easy going. I do request them meeting outside before I bring them in. I do not believe in leaving your pets with mine while I am gone. Therefore the will be seperate when I must leave.

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!
About: Hi, I’m Clary! I have 2 dogs (a Husky and a Pug) and 1 cat that I have been looking after for roughly 5 years now. I love love love animals of all kinds and I’m definitely right in the middle of the dog-person/cat-person debate. I took in all of my pets when they were under 1 year old so I have lots of knowledge in puppy and kitten care. One of my dogs also has various health issues including blindness and need frequent medication, so I have experience in caring for dogs with special needs as well. I’m currently a full-time student but I will still have plenty of time to walk and care for your animals! I am available for all services any day of the week! My passion for animals allows me to be enthusiastically loving to any animal I meet! In your home I will make ample time to not only take your pets on potty breaks, but also play with them and form a trusting bond.
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!
“Andretta is sunshine wrapped as a person! Firstly, she replied to my initial inquiry lightning fast and was very thorough in providing details and asking questions about what I needed. I had never done a dog walking service while being away; usually family could watch my dog but this time no one was available. Any reservations I had were immediately erased during the meet and greet with myself, her and my dog. While I was away, I got all of the notifications, reports and pictures from Andretta and felt so relieved that I could travel and know my dog was WELL taken care of! Not to mention, my dog loves her! Andretta is professional, detailed, knowledgeable and very sweet. If family isn’t available, I’ll be booking with her anytime I have to go out of town.”

About: Hi Pet Parents! ☺️🐾 My name is Taylor, I’m 30 years old, and I’d love to get to know you and your furry family! I know it’s stressful to leave your babies in the care of someone else, so I will do my best to make sure your pet’s time away from you is as fun and relaxing as possible! I have been pet sitting and house sitting since I was twelve years old and I also have over eleven years of experience working as a veterinary technician. You can have confidence that I will take great care of your pet(s) while you’re away, including being able to appropriately act in the instance of a medical emergency, thanks to my extensive knowledge and experience in the field of veterinary medicine. I will adhere to any instructions and/or special requests that you may leave for me involving the care of your young or senior pet(s). I’m a very tidy and respectful person and I will treat your home and space accordingly. It will only be me staying in your home, as I do not think it is professional to have others in your home while you’re away. I value your trust in me as your pet’s caregiver and I ensure you that every home I stay in and every pet I watch gets my tender love, care, and attention. I am consistent with keeping pet owners up to date on how their pet is doing with daily texts and pictures/videos. Upon request and for an additional fee, I also offer basic cleaning services and basic grooming services for homes and pets where I will be staying overnight. I can bathe your small, medium, or large dog(s) if you have a space for me to and you are confident that your dog will be behaved well enough for me to safely handle them on my own. It’s a great feeling to not only come home to clean house, but also a clean dog! If you are interested in any of the additional services that I offer, please ask me for some pricing details! I work remotely/hybridly, which allows me to work from mostly from home 8am - 4pm, Monday - Friday during the week. Since I am lucky enough to work remotely, that means I will be able to work in your home during the day, which will allow me to be able to spend more time with your pets during my stay. When I do have to leave for work I will be gone for normally half a day 4-6 hrs. During my stay, I like to try to stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, so that they stay as comfortable and as happy as possible while you’re away. I look forward to hopefully meeting you and your furry family soon!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Riverdale on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,867 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Riverdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Riverdale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Riverdale.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverdale. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
