“Enis is great - he helped me with last minute boarding of my dog and took good care of him. He administered special diet and all of our requests. We constantly received pictures and videos of our furry baby and that was very reassuring. Will definitely board with Enis again. Thank you Enis! :)”
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.
“Meeting with Loida, I knew that Charlie would be in good hands. You can tell that she really loves dogs and that they come first in her home :) Charlie had plenty of space to play, a couch to sleep on, and a deck to get some air. Would definitely use her again. ”
“Amazing! Zuleyka took care of my dog like no other. From the moment Amadeus arrived, Zuleyka embraced him as if he was her puppy. I have never seen Amadeus so happy as he was when he saw Zuleyka! She is the best sitter ever! Thank you for taking care of our dog the way you do it! You are the best no doubt”
“Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Melo. I went away for the weekend and was able to book with her a week before. She introduced my dog to her other animals for the first time and I think he was so happy to have other furry friends for the weekend. Melissa was super clear and communicative throughout. I loved seeing the photos and videos every few hours so I always felt like melo was in good hands. She also had a print out award and treat for Melo after his stay which was so sweet. Thanks again Melissa for watching Melo :)”
“Cathy is the BEST sitter! My my little dog loves staying with Cathy and her family. She sends detailed updates every day and lets us know how she's doing. She is also very familiar with our local resources. She is the only sitter I ever want to use.”
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.
“Florence is a sweetheart and took great care of Paco. She sent daily updates with adorable pictures and videos of my pup. 10 out of 10! Will definitely book with Florence again!”
“Both Laura and Kevin went ABOVE and BEYOND taking care of our precious girl! Kevin made chicken for her because she wasn’t eating. She needed to be assessed by our vet so Laura picked her up, total travel time was approximately 40 minutes. Words are not sufficient to express my gratitude to them.”
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Yuberkis! She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring toward our dogs. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend Yuberkis to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“I am so happy and blessed to have gotten Bydette recommended to me to watch my puppy during my stay in New Jersey. She has a lovely family and the most adorable children. My puppy fell in love with them immediately. She kept me updated with everything that was going on and kept me updated when I expressed with her he was having some tummy problems. I just knew he was in awesome hands, I didn’t worry one bit. I will definitely book again next time I am in town! If I could give more stars I would.”
“We are so grateful for Angelica! She genuinely care for our dog, Bella, and it shows. During our time away, we received frequent updates and adorable photos, which made us feel at ease. When we returned, Bella was happy and healthy! We highly recommend Angelica for anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for your amazing service!”
“Orso had a wonderful time with Caitlin and Georgia! Usually when we pick him up from a sitter he jumps right into our car but this time he tried to go back in with Caitlin. She took exceptional care of him, ensuring he got exercise, was well fed, brushed, played and stayed cool. We feel very comfortable knowing our boy will be in good hands when we go away later this summer!”
“This was our first time using Dee's services and our boy had such a great time. We had an intro meeting a few days before our travel and Burpee loved Dee's dogs and backyard. We could tell he was going to have a great time. Dee is caring and sent us pictures daily, which we love. We could tell Burpee felt right at home with them. Burpee will definitely be going back in the future!”
“We were worried about boarding our dog with the sitter for the first time. Kinjal was kind and let us visit to check and introduce our dog 3 days beforehand. This meeting cleared all the doubts. Kinjal has natural abilities to understand dogs, she projects come energy that instilled calm in our dog. The pictures and videos confirmed that our dog was happy there. When we came back for pickup, our dog was following her and wasn't interested in going home. We definitely will use her service again in the future. Thank you, Kinjal.”
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.

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!

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 .
