“Kylee was great with our dogs. One of our pups can get very anxious, but Kylee was so patient and loving with her. I got frequent updates and pictures. They always looked so happy!”
“Samantha was great watching my cats last minute. She ensured they had a cooldown space and company when they were ready. On top of all that, she’s just super cool person.”
“Debbie and family took such good care of my two whippets. I got immediate responses to messages and pictures every day. They seemed to thoroughly enjoy my babies and I know the dogs loved their stay!”
“Ron took in my Great Dane & my little Yorkie over the Christmas week. They both had a great time & Ron was absolutely wonderful! I contacted him regularly to check in and he always responded quickly and gave me full reports on what my babies were up to. I recommend him to anyone who's pets are part of the family. His house & yard are perfect for dogs of all sizes! Ron will treat your dogs like they're his own and only give them the best!”
About: I took care of my childhood dog for 13 years, from her puppy years to her senior years and I have a big passion for animals I’m currently still a senior in highschool, however my availability with open up greatly after December! My weekends and evenings are usually free. I will be able to work more during the week after my first semester I love animals more than anything so I will always make sure your animal is taken care of in anyway possible like: feeding them, keeping them hydrated, walking them, bathing them if needed and I will play/hangout with them to keep them company!
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe they deserve to be treated like family. I’ve owned dogs throughout my entire adult life and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them when you can’t be there. I’m a reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented person who will take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits in your home, and boarding for one dog at a time in my home. I provide personalized, one-on-one care and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and a detailed report after each visit or boarding stay so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is simple: when you’re not home, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Now that I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs throughout the week, with only occasional appointments to work around. I have three dogs of my own who are a huge part of our family, and my 1-year-old daughter absolutely adores her dog sisters. She loves helping give them their daily treats and showering them with pets! Our days are already filled with lots of love for animals, and I’d love to extend that same care, attention, and affection to your pets. I can be flexible with scheduling and will always prioritize making sure your pets receive reliable, loving, and individualized care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring. My three friendly dogs are part of our family and can provide companionship for pups who enjoy furry friends, with introductions and interactions always handled carefully and supervised. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pup is staying in our home, joining me for walks, or receiving care in the comfort of their own home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, cuddles, and rest while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking for local families, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medication when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat both with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own family, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Alysss provided our pup with a perfect environment! She had other dogs to play fetch with. This is an absolute first for our dog who never learned how to interact with other dogs since she is a “covid dog”. Thanks Allysa!”
“As a first time dog owner with a long vacation planned, I was so anxious about trusting someone with my extremely energetic dog. SO glad I went with Madi. I received many photos and updates. Madi was thoughtful and created a Christmas card from Theo to me. When I got back home to Theo, I even noticed his behavior had improved. I will book with her again. Thank you, Madi!”
“Darian was great with my boy Floyd!! She sent so many fun updates of him and he looked so happy in every single one. I was very pleased with how she was with Floyd!! Would 100% recommend and go to again :)”
About: Me and my family did rover for 7 years. I'm now 20 and cannot live without animals daily haha. I would LOVE to love on your puppy likes he's my own! I do tend to spoil them!!! Rover is my current full time job! That's perfect if you have an unpredictable schedule. I'm very flexible and easy to plan with! I have been trusted hundreds of times in the past 7 years of rovering with my family, even drove an hour away to stay 24/7 for 14 days. Haha the only thing I will touch is the mop 🤣 I just don't like leaving a mess, and enjoy you coming back to a clean home the way u left it!
About: I absolutely love dogs. I’ve had my dog, Simba, since a puppy & we’ve basically grown up together. I’m happy to provide boarding and sima will love having a buddy to play with. I only take one boarder at a time, so they will get loads of attention and play time. I also do drop-ins and walks. Simba and I are both patient with puppies as well, I know puppyhood can be a challenge! Will provide lots a pictures, videos & FaceTime check-ins as requested! Boarding is limited to weekends mostly as I work full-time and want to be sure your doggo is getting all my attention, but I can make arrangements to work from home on a case by case basis for longer stays. I am flexible for drop-ins and walks in the evenings and on the weekends! I have a large fenced yard and Simba loves to play! I also live near a few walking trails that will surely wear them out. Will provide lots a pictures, videos & FaceTime check-ins as requested!
“Linda was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! She covered him with so much love and care he came home with renewed confidence and energy ! We felt full confidence in her care and much appreciated her updates and pictures while we were away! Thank you, Linda!”
About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently have one dog and we’re obsessed with each other. I hope to become a beloved person in your pets life! I can try my best to fit you into my schedule. Please message me for more info! Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to spending time with your pet. However you need me to care for your pet, I’ll abide. But please be assured that they’ll be in great hands! I’ll take care of them as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. My sweet Charlie crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025, but when he was here he loved being a pal to all doggos and kiggies. Honoring his memory, I will care for your sweet critter with the same love and attention I have always shown to all creatures. I have one cat, who is aloof, but peaceful. Fenced yard, kiddie pool in the summer, and I am totally okay if your baby needs to dig a hole in the yard. This is a safe space for critters to be their authentic selves. I’m work during the week, so I am only available Friday after 5pm through Sunday at 9pm. I don’t go out on the weekends, so I’m totally dialed in to seeing to your pet’s needs for pottying, walkies, snuggles, and anything else that helps them cope with having their human be absent for brief times. I have a large fenced yard. The grass is soft, but I’m okay with them getting a lil diggy time in if needed. The neighborhood is safe and there is a beautiful park nearby for walkies. I also have a pet stroller if your furry fren needs the accommodation.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Riverdale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Riverdale home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Riverdale.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverdale. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
You and your Riverdale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
