About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I’m excited to provide your furry loved ones with a safe, attentive home away from home. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, and exotics such as rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality, and I make sure to follow instructions carefully. I make a point of spending plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that means going for a long walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. Whether you’re looking for home visits, boarding, drop-ins, or daily walks, my goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your furry, beautiful best friend is in loving, attentive, and reliable hands while you’re away. I currently work a hybrid 8-4:30 schedule. I am available throughout the week and fully open on weekends to spend plenty of time with your pets! I live in a condo community that is amazing for walking and also has a communal back yard space. I have one friendly 4 year old dog named Pepper, and he loves other animals.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny puppies to senior pets, so I understand the care, patience, and attention each stage requires. I have also worked with pet rescues and fostered several dogs and cats while they awaited their forever homes. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from high-energy puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with administering medications, crate training, leash walking, and working with anxious or energetic pets. I work at home most days during the week. I will plan my day around whether I have a special pet visitor, dog walk, or cat visit. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always follow your routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or some playtime, I make sure your pet feels right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need, while also keeping your home tidy and secure.
“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 :)”
“We are so happy to have found Geoff, Jenny and family. Snickers was treated like one of the family. She had plenty of friends and activity to keep her engaged. We loved receiving plenty of updates throughout the time away which included pictures and videos. We have found Snickers 2nd home when we are away. It makes us feel so good that we don’t have to worry that she will be taken care of in a loving home.”
“We had a very positive experience from start to finish, beginning with scheduling and completing the meet and greet, as well as the smooth drop-off and pick-up process. Lucy truly enjoyed her stay with Kimberly and Tom, and she came back happy and clearly well cared for. We will definitely return for our future boarding needs. Thank you for making the entire process so pleasant!”
“We have left our dog with Amanda and her family many times and he absolutely loves his time with them! They send so many adorable pictures and I know he is in the best care possible. Highly recommend!!”

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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Riverdale is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $76 per night. 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.

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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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.
