About: As a dedicated dog sitter, I offer a personalized and compassionate approach tailored to each pet's unique needs. With experience in puppy training, I help young dogs build essential habits. I focus on building trust with each dog, giving them the one-on-one attention they deserve. From playtime to gentle walks and administering medications when needed, my goal is to create a stress-free, happy environment so you can be confident your pet is in great hands. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m able to offer consistent, round-the-clock attention, with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles built right into my routine. My home is a pet-friendly space where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Because I’m here throughout the day, I can easily adjust to each pet’s unique schedule and needs, whether it’s for feeding, exercise, or a quiet moment to relax. When pets are in my home, I provide a cozy, secure space where they’re treated like family. They have access to safe, pet-friendly areas for playing, resting, and exploring, along with daily exercise tailored to their energy level. I maintain a structured routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routines intact to provide comfort and familiarity. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requests.

“Jean took great care of our dog each day while we were away on vacation. She provided updates and took care of our boy with lots of TLC. Her service is terrific and very much appreciated- I would totally hire her again and again! ?”
“Showed up on time, very friendly, very professional, sent pictures from the walk of our dear little girl, and all went well. Looking forward to using her again. 👍”

“Really happy to find a person that’s comfortable with a big, strong, and willful dog! Makes it easier to leave for work knowing that Michelle will give Maddie great care on her walks!”

“I landed in the ER and needed someone to walk my dog while I was in the hospital because my 92 yr old mother couldn't do it. I found Luke, who actually lived very close to my home. Luke is a very friendly, polite, courteous, and caring person who loves dogs. He took excellent care of my 15 yr old dog while I was in the hospital for a couple days and for two days after, which really helped me a LOT. Luke loves animals and I never worried about my dog while he was in Luke's care. Thanks so much Luke for all you did!”


About: I’ve had fur babies in my life since the day I was born. 🐾 As an adult, my husband and I have shared our lives with six dogs and two cats. To me, they’ve never been “just pets”—they are my babies, my kids, and a huge part of our family. ❤️ They have been my comfort, my companions, and my saving grace in more ways than I can count. The only time they’ve ever broken my heart is when it was time to say goodbye and watch them cross the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🐾 Today, we share our home with Lucy, Leo, and Louie. Lucy and Leo are brother and sister from the same mixed-breed litter, and Louie is our full-blooded German Shepherd. They fill our home with love, laughter, fur, and plenty of personality! 🐶💕 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. 🐾 With three fur babies of my own, my daily routine includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of attention. Caring for your babies would fit naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure they get the love and care they need. ❤️ In between loving and enjoying my own fur babies, I’d love to spend time loving and caring for yours too! 🐾❤️ I’ll make sure your babies are fed, have plenty of fresh water, and get all the attention they deserve. We’ll go for walks, play in the backyard, enjoy lots of cuddles, and, of course, play that wonderful game where they bring me the ball—but refuse to give it back so I can throw it again! 😂🎾🐶 Most importantly, I’ll care for your babies just like I would want someone to care for mine—with lots of love, patience, and attention. ❤️🐾

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.
“Ashley was very sweet to Hookah and attentive to his needs. She walked him everyday last week. She was very flexible with our schedules. I would highly recommend Ashley for dog sitting or walking. You can tell that she loves animals.”
About: There has always been a pet in the house since I was the age of 10! As an adult now I still pet sit for my parents and care for their fur babies! I also watch over the pets of friends/family of various breeds and sizes! I have had pets that needed either oral medication or injections. I am a preschool teacher and have free availability for the summer. I have a clear schedule to take care of the most precious member of the family! I will treat your pet as if they were my own! Lots of love, care, and attention will be provided to ensure your pet has the best experience while owners are away. Whether it be an overnight or a check-in, your pet will feel loved! All animals are different and so are their demeanors. If there is anything that would be beneficial for the experience between me and your pet please let me know!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
Being away from my boy while working 12-hour shifts can be stressful. While searching for care services in the Bettendorf area, I worried about choosing the right caregiver for my boy. Knowing Tia is there for him when I can’t be has made all the difference. Her reliability, attentiveness, and compassion allow me to work with confidence. Thank you, Tia for all that you do!

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.

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:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
