Doggy Day Care in Riverdale

“Sujanna is a wonderful sitter who always takes extra special care of our Toby. I highly recommend!!”

Marybeth W.

“Milo was well cared for and loved with Christine. She sent pics and videos. We were also running late and she has no problem with it. Fantastic sitter we would definitely use again.”

Michelle V.

“I was passing thru the area and wanted to make a brief stop to see the lilacs at the NJ Botanical Gardens. Since I read that dogs were not allowed, I needed to find a trustworthy sitter nearby. Wenxin to the rescue! She was so sweet and attentive, and my shy Havanese quickly warmed up to her. Should I ever be in the area again, I will definitely bring Cleo back!”

Marti F.

“Great job. Attentive, friendly and flexible and kept us updated throughout with pics for a stress free morning and afternoon. Looks like the dogs also really enjoyed the outing. Highly recommended.”

Max V.

“My first time leaving my puos with anyone outside of family. Fiorella took great care of Cookie and Chex. They had a wonderful time. Thank you so much.”

About: I'm a dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your furry friend needs a playful companion, a snuggle buddy, or someone to make sure they get their daily exercise, I'm here to help. I also have experience with puppy training, so don't worry if your pup isn't fully house trained. I understand that every dog is unique, with their own personality, needs, and quirks. That's why I take the time to get to know your pup and tailor my care to suit their needs. I will ensure your dog feels loved, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available during the week and on weekends to care for your pets. Just let me know what you need! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly pug and orange cat to keep your dog company. When providing walks or drop in visits with your pet, I can also assist with bringing in mail or watering plants.

About: I've been loving pets on short-term bases for a few years. I have alot of open space so your dog will be comfortable and happy. A fenced in yard allows for as much outdoor time as they would like. My communication skills will leave you feeling at ease while you're away from your loved one. Work from home so your furbaby will not be locked away or alone. Available for daycare or boarding. My schedule is flexible and I'm open to discussing availability around your needs. However I cannot accept bookings exceeding 5 nights. I have a larged fenced yard as well as open space inside my home. While I allow your dogs to run freely in my backyard, I make sure they are always supervised.

About: Full-time aunt to Kobe, a silky terrier 6 year-old sassy, well trained boy, with a strong personality. Part-time aunt to all of my friend's animals, cats/dogs, of all shapes and sizes. Super observant of animal behavior in order to understand animals needs. Highly prioritize communicating with owners about their animals, to learn and adapt to animals/owners needs. I enjoy active days, especially with a cool dog to run around or play ball with. I'm also just as good at lounging around as your cat is, if it needs someone to fluff around with, I'm that person too. I can hold down my own, when it comes to extra large sized animals or even the fiercest of them all- the tiny animals. Besides creating a fun environment for your animals, I'm also creating a positive active environment for myself. Nothing makes me happier than cool animals, they are great company. I am a fan of walks as it is, so to have an animal join me in my outdoor adventures sounds like the perfect day to me. I am currently in a space where I am working from home, so it's been nice to have the company from all the animals as well as a reason to get up from my desk during the daily walks. I am quite clean when it comes to animals, so wiping of the paws after entering from the outdoors is on a list of to-do's for me. They do after all, sleep in our beds and walk on our couches. I also do not like ingredients like wheat and filler, so I always make sure to have any/all treats or foods with ingredients that will elongate the life rather than cut it short. I do not actually have the space to board at this time, but I am more than accommodating to keeping animals in their home space to make sure they are in their most comfortable mental state, while their parent/parents are away.

About: I have 10+ years of dog care experience, ranging from owning dogs to fostering pups in need of extra love. I currently have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, safety, and socialization. Your dog will be in experienced hands, getting the same attention and affection I give my own pup! Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship since someone in the family will be home all day, ensuring they are never left alone. Our daily routine includes morning walks, frequent potty breaks, and flexible playtime with our friendly labradoodle, Milo. Whether your dog prefers active play or quiet naps, they will be supervised and loved as part of our family from breakfast until bedtime! Someone in the family is always home-so your dog is never alone. We have a large, fully fenced backyard that's perfect for safe exercise and play. My fostering background ensures I know how to keep dogs secure. We are happy to crate if needed and can easily adapt our home to your dogs' specific needs!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also dog‑sat for friends and family giving me experience with different breeds, personalities and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play breaks, feeding and keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort. I build my work schedule around their needs so they get consistent attention and companionship instead of long stretches alone. Whether it’s a midday walk, extra snuggles or sticking to their usual routine, I’m able to give them steady, reliable care all week long. I have a quiet, calm and pet‑friendly home that’s perfect for animals who enjoy a peaceful environment. Since I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog gets my full attention and a stress‑free space with no competition for affection. I keep my home clean, safe and comfortable and I have a deck where pets can relax outside, enjoy some fresh air and soak up the sun.

About: My 10 year old and I love it when your babies enjoy a swim in the lake in the summer and/or a walk around the lake with us. Rest assured your fur babies will be happy and healthy while you are away. Our standard poodle is my daughter’s best girl. We go for walks at least once per day around the lake (1.6 miles around). Sometimes we even go more than once and we all get a good workout in! We usually care for dogs here at home, however, I am open to caring for your fur babies at your house, if you prefer! Let me know!

About: Hi! My name is Logan, and I’m a current college student at the University of New England with a strong background in studying animal behavior. I have several years of experience pet sitting, caring for my own pets — my dog Riley and cat Nadia — and working with local animal shelters. I love animals of all sizes and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. They’re family, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide loving, dependable care and to treat your pets with the same attention and compassion I give my own. I'm currently looking for a part-time job until Rover takes off, so as of now, pet care is my 100% focus. I spend every day caring for my cat Nadia and my family's dog Riley. I'm hoping that I will get to spend a good amount of my time also caring for other peoples pets :). When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also following any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special care requests closely. I always prioritize safety by keeping pets supervised, securing doors and gates, and maintaining a clean, calm environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a shy cat who prefers quiet companionship, I adapt my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated like family while they’re away.

“I highly recommend Desi and Marilyn. They are true animal lovers. My 2 dogs came back so happy. I received multiple pictures of my boys which is always appreciated. Don't hesitate to book with them!”

Eden D.

“Katherine and her family were amazing. She was so helpful and responsive from the very beginning. I knew it pup was in caring and capable hands from the meet and greet. Her family provided plenty of entertainment for our high energy girl. She supplied us with pics and updates throughout Pumpkin's stay. She is definitely our #1 sitter.”

Patryce R.

“Kelly was super responsive with pictures and updates about how my dog was doing throughout the day. Tormi was welcomed with open open arms left in good spirits!”

About: I will treat your dog with love and respect. I know our fur babies mean everything to us. Your pet will be in great hands! I am a teacher. My afternoons are flexible and I am off over the summer. I will be available during the summer and after school to help. I have a fenced in yard at my home. My job is to do what the customer asks of me. Keeping the dog happy is the goal.

About: Even before I owned a dog at 10, I walked and took care of many puppies and older dogs. I trained my own dog, as we attended classes and taught him as if he is a person. I still continue to walk, feed, and take care of my friends/neighbors dogs as well as my own. I enjoy exercising, so I love walking and running with dogs, such as playing fetch. I love going to dog parks and having them interact with other dog, and I will be home all summer, so I could do that. I ensure that the pets do not eat any people food and have water at all times and food at appropriate times. Having my home clean and organized is key when caring for pets.

About: Hi! I'm A lifelong dog lover and dedicated pet parent who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your dog! I currently have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, whom I am actively training, so I'm very comfortable with daily routines, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also previously raised a Boxer-Catahoula Leopard Hound mix from puppyhood through his senior years, and he lived a happy life until about 16. That experience gave me hands on knowledge with energetic puppies, adult dogs and seniors who need a gentler approach. I treat every dog as if they were my own-with patience, attention, and care! I have experience with small, medium/large dogs, including puppies and seniors and I am comfortable reinforcing basic training and good leash manners. At this time, I'm excited to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare and boarding Tuesday, Thursday through Sunday. Come summer time I will have 7 days per week availability. I'm currently offering discounted rates while I build up my Rover profile and reviews without cutting corners on care and attention. I am not offering doggy day care or boarding at this time until my own puppies are fully trained. My focus is 100% individualized one-one-one care for your dog in their familiar environment. You can expect a timely visit that includes safe and attentive walks, fresh water, feeding and clean-up, if needed. I can provide photo updates and a brief summary after each visit. My approach to care is calm and assertive! I understand that every dog has a unique personality and I take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe, happy and confident. I am a caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with your dog.

About: I am an experienced dog owner of over 20 years (cats over 10 years). No issue with breed size as I have owned dogs ranging from Bichon size to Rottweilers! Your pets will feel loved and comfortable here in our home. I work from home full time so will have more than enough time to give your pet all of the attention they crave! Walks, play, and feeding times can all be scheduled to your pet's needs. My yard is fully fenced and large enough for fun playtime. My home is large and has wide space for indoor play. Your pet will have my full attention all day as I work from home!

“Louis was great! THE BEST PHOTOS YOU’LL EVER RECEIVE FROM A ROVER. We got quality photos in under an hour. Our dog Brownie cozied right up to him immediately on first meet up. Accommodated us on less than 24 hours notice for a last minute emergency. Allowed us to meet his dogs and see how they play.”
