“Hands down the best person we’ve ever dealt with! She is so sweet and attentive. Has taken such good care of our Teddy and has updated us along the way with so many pictures. Can’t recommend her enough. This is the only person we will ever deal with going forward.”
“Enis was absolutely lovely and the dogs were SO HAPPY. Enis sent pictures everyday and updates, and was just a complete joy to work with. I can’t thank him enough for making this so easy and carefree. I’m a super anxious dog owner and he made it so simple.”
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals from small to big since the age of 7. I currently have a German shepherd mix, and he’s been with us since March 8th of 2020, having the time of his life. I’ve had my share with senior cats/dogs, as well as being able to handle oral medication and specific routines. I‘m usually open and available any day of the week. My calendar is up to date at least 3 weeks ahead. Please inquire about further dates. I will treat your pet and your house with utmost respect and privacy, and treat your pet with the love, comfort, and care they deserve and more. They’ll always be safe in my care.
“Kathy was a perfect sitter for my two poodles. She gave me and my family peace of mind that while we are away the dogs are safe and loved. She sent us pictures and comments on how the dogs were doing. I recommend her 100%! I am grateful to have found Cathy and I would use her again.”
“I had a fantastic stay. Zuleyka, went the extra mile for me, from making modifications to my dates which was an inconvenience to her. She gave me updates throughout the days he was there. I would definitely recommend and be a repeat client.”
“Eunice took excellent care of Cappy during the three days we were away! She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell she read my notes about Cappy’s care. Cappy also had a wonderful time with Eunice’s family and her dog, Pincky! I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of Cappy in the future!”
“Aeli and her husband are incredible! They took care of my dog really well, made sure he feels at home, and sent me pictures and videos everyday! It’s clear that they know dogs really well and are incredibly caring!”
“Louis took great care of my dog for 4 days. He sent daily (sometimes twice a day) updates on how he was doing and phenomenal pictures. Even if nothing exciting was happening, it still eased my mind with the daily updates. Will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Karla was amazing with Max while we were away on vacation! He was definitely on his own vacation as well! Worries eased instantly with Karla’s constant communication and care for Max!!”
About: Hi! We’re Shirley and Anthony—a dependable husband-and-wife team who absolutely love dogs. I’m a pharmacist, and Anthony is a lifelong dog owner who works from home, so your dog will have round-the-clock care, attention, and affection. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from playful pups to slow-moving seniors. We’re gentle, patient, and happy to accommodate special routines, quirks, or needs. I have a healthcare background, so I’m comfortable with basic medication instructions and noticing if something seems off. Anthony, who has raised dogs his whole life, is calm, observant, and has a natural way of making dogs feel safe and relaxed. Anthony is home all day, and I have a flexible schedule, so your pup will never be left alone for long. Whether your dog needs a calm place to rest or a buddy for playtime, we’re here to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. We offer a calm, clean home with a large fenced yard for playtime and plenty of supervised outdoor breaks. We also have two friendly resident dogs who can keep your fur baby company—if your dog enjoys social time. If your dog prefers quiet space or needs downtime, we’re happy to keep them separate and can also crate if needed based on your instructions.
“Brain was very easy to work with. Meet and Greet was super easy and the actual boarding was super smooth. Max seems to have had a great time with Brian. I would highly recommend Brian.”
“Angelica took great care of Kora again!! Kora wasn't eating in the morning and Angelica hand fed her until she started to eat on her own, thankful Angelica is this caring of the pets she sits for. Thank you Angelica”
“Darien is everything we could ask for in a dog sitter. Our dogs always have so much fun from playing in their big, clean backyard and receive a lot of love from Darien and her family. After a fun day, my dogs always end their day sleeping peacefully and comfortably. Darien also somehow magically makes my dogs even more behaved than ever, and they always come home refreshed and happy. The dogs have deemed Darien’s home as their favorite vacation destination, and will always trust Darien with my dogs any time!”
“Kelly and her family were genuinely excited to watch our Lily, you can tell they really love dogs. Lily had a great vacation running around with the kids. She was super worn out when she got home. She got to sleep on the furniture and was even hand fed her kibble when she was hesitant to eat away from home. Kelly sent picture updates of Lily having the time of her life. This was also a great find because Lily doesn't get along with other dogs and Kely only takes one dog at a time. Highly recommend, would book again.”
“Michelle I thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby while I was away. Per the pictures I know she has a great time even though I wasn’t with her. Thank you thank you thank you. She will definitely be coming back when I book my next trip.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. My own, family and friends. I feed them, walk them, bathe them, and even hand feed them if necessary. I work hybrid and I can care for pets Monday to Saturday from 8 to 6 pm for now. I can do some weekends if arrangements are made in advance. My backyard is fenced, we have plenty of indoor space for the pet to use and I can crate your pet if have them accustomed to it. We have a central air conditioning for those hot days.
“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful! She was so loving and attentive with Xena and Doug and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent frequent updates and photos, and it was clear how much love and attention she gave them throughout their stay. Our dogs clearly adored her and had the best time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Caitlin with them again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.
