“Kristin was amazing! Not only did she accept my reservation last minute, but she also sent photo updates 2-3 times a day throughout the stay. Her professionalism really exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a dog sitter in the area, I would highly recommend Kristin!”

“I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible care Christina and Nick provided for our Sammy. From the very first meet-and-greet to the final pickup, it was clear that our pup was in warm, capable, and loving hands. Daily updates with an abundance of adorable photos gave us peace of mind. If you're looking for dependable, experienced, and compassionate pet sitters who truly treat your pets like family, look no further. Christina and Nick are the gold standard.”

Monica made me feel at ease by sharing multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and treated Melo like he was her own. He came home a happy boy !”
“Deborah and her family were amazing with our 8 month old corgi pup. We had never left him overnight before and were nervous how it would go, but he felt right at home with Deborah. It gave us peace of mind knowing that she is a retired vet tech and presently trains dogs. We knew that Captain would be in great hands and that she could handle his sensitivities. He loved it so much that I think he was sad to leave. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“We had such a great experience Ankita! She truly made my dog feel right at home from the moment he arrived. It was clear he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I especially loved that he was never alone. She and her family were always around, giving him plenty of attention and making him feel like part of the household. He also had a blast spending time with their dog, Panther. They got along great, and it made the whole experience even more fun like a vacation for my dog. I could tell from the updates and how he was when I picked him up that he had an amazing time. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!”
“Keisy was amazing. She took very good care of my dog (Cocoa), she asked all sorts of relevant questions beforehand so that she can meet all the needs of my Cocoa. It feels like I found a perfect place because she has 2 adorable dogs and it’s like having a play date for my Cocoa. She also sent pictures and videos that brought smile on my face even while being away from him. Oh!! I have to mention, Keisy has such a beautiful place, it is very nice, clean and organized, I was super impressed :)”

Kacy was amazing with my puppy. She’s warm, friendly and attentive. She took care of Remy as if he was hers. They went on walks and she even washed his blanket. He was a little home sick at bedtime and she stayed with him so he wasn’t anxious. She sent pictures and messages while we were away and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I definitely would recommend Kacy and use her again!
This is our pup's 3rd time staying with Bayan. We are so grateful to have found her and her family! They always take such good care of our pup and always keeps us posted with pictures and videos. Their pup is also very sweet and gentle and we're so happy our pup has a playmate while he's there. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% 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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 NJ 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.
