“This is the 2nd time Kun and his wife watched over Thor, and Thor never wants to leave. He had so much fun with them and their puppy Som. Thank you for always taking such great care of Thor and for always being incredible communicators!”
“Jen is great! Clearly very caring and capable! We felt completely comfortable having her watch our dog, Peggy, while we were on vacation. Thanks so much, Jen, for making our vacation relaxing for us, and for Peggy!”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Pia’s stay with Charles was great. He is an awesome person who truly loves the pets he cares for. He shared pictures time to time keeping us informed of Pia’s well being. I am grateful to have met Charles and highly recommend him. We are definitely returning next time Pia needs a break from us 😊”
“I’m so glad I chose this sitter for Buddy! They gave me prompt and detailed updates exactly the way I’d requested, along with plenty of pictures that really put me at ease while I was away. I could tell from the photos and messages that Buddy was happy and well taken care of. They’re such sweet, responsible people, and I could truly relax knowing my little one was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Amanda and her family were fantastic with my dog, Molly! Molly was so comfortable and happy during her stay, and I really appreciated the daily updates and adorable pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. Molly can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend!”

“We had such a great experience with Juan. This was our first time leaving Teddy with them and Juan made us feel very comfortable. He took great care of Teddy and sent us pictures and updates which we really appreciated while we were away. It was so reassuring to see that Teddy was doing well and being well cared for. We’re very thankful to Juan and would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Teddy with them again.”
“We are so lucky to have found Morgan! When our long time dog sitter moved away, we needed to find a new sitter for our two energetic German Shorthairs. From the beginning, Morgan was wonderful. She was responsive to all of our questions. She has a large, fenced-in backyard which was a must. During our time away, Morgan kept us updated with messages and pictures which helped us appreciate that the dogs were in great hands. We also appreciated her willingness to let us bring their big dog beds to help them feel more “at home”. When we picked up our pups, I could tell right away how happy and well-cared for they were. We will definitely be using Morgan again!”
“Jonathan watched our dog in his home for 9 nights and did a fantastic job. We are extremely protective of our Doberman, Marley, and we searched for the right place for her while we were away. Marley is a bit nervous but Jonathan was kind and loving to her and made her feel comfortable. He administered her medication properly as he has experience working in the vet field. He provided photo updates so we could see Marley getting exercise and relaxing. We highly recommend Jonathan and we are so happy to have found him to care for Marley when we have to travel!”
“Kelvin and Monica were great. I dropped my dog off happy and he was just as happy when I picked him up. They were quick to respond and sent pics. I would gladly recommend them.”
“Chelsea cared for our two senior dogs over the weekend and we really appreciate how accommodating she was with our schedule. We got pictures and updates and I knew they were being well cared for. We’re happy yo have found someone so well experienced with dogs so close to home. Would definitely re-book with Chelsea next time the need arises.”
“Hao and his lovely family were amazing with our Ripley. He sent pictures and videos throughout her stay so that we can receive updates on how our baby girl was doing. We could tell that she was very well taken care of and he treated her like she was his own. We would highly recommend Hao if you need someone who you can trust with your fur baby. We were very appreciative of his care and how open and communicative he was with us. Hao was also very accommodating! 5 stars all the way!!”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Jennifer took good care of our dog. She was very communicative and kept us updated with everything. I will recommend her to anyone that is looking for some one who can take good care of their dog.”
“Raymond was excellent with Benji, and gave regular updates on how things were going. Benji enjoyed his weekend with Raymond and we will definitely be booking again. Thanks so much!!”
“Maureen was wonderful. She made Bailey feel welcome. Additionally, she helped us to have a high level of confidence in the environment that she was create for our dog. We will be going back to her in the future.”
“I We had a great experience with Yesenia and Manny while Cody stayed with them for 4 days during our trip. It was Cody’s first time boarding at someone else's house, and everything went smoothly. Yesenia and Manny were very attentive and caring, which made us feel completely at ease. They also sent us regular pictures and videos of Cody, so we could see how well he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend them and would definitely trust them again!”

There are 13,256 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riverdale. About 88% of Riverdale sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
