“My pup seemed to enjoy staying with Jana and her pups. We were able to get a reservation quickly and she was very accommodating. We recieved photos daily. Thank you so much!! -Leanne”
“I will definitely book with Margaret again. She took very good care of our Juno and kept in contact and sent pictures of Juno during our trip. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. :)”
“Love Jarica and her sweet family. They take the best care of our Osiris. He is always happy to stay there and exhausted when we pick him up. I love that we get so many pictures and updates.”
“Danii has taken our dog a few times now, including for a multi-day stay. Our high-energy dog (1-year-old) returned happy and tired from a lot of play. Danii took special note of our dog's personality and gave her a lot of personal attention. We will be grateful to leave our dog with Danii for an upcoming vacation.”
“We are new in town and need to leave for a funeral. We liked Kayla's reviews. We went to a couple of meet and greets and chose to leave our Molly with her and her dog. Kayla communicated well before and during our trip. We appreciated all of it. We definitely recommend her!”
“The family took such great care of our dogs while we were away for 2 weeks. They sent us pretty regular updates with photos and our girls looked so happy and healthy. When we picked up the dogs, they were of course happy to see us again but they almost seemed sad to leave Madilynn and family too. We absolutely plan to book again for future trips.”
“Emily took great care of my Lola! Lola looked comfortable and happy when I picked her up and I think she was sad to leave. Emily was great to communicate with and easy to schedule with. Would happily work with her again!”
“Macie did a wonderful job taking care of Moose.💕 She sent lots of photos to show how well he was doing, and made me feel like he was being taken care of really well. We will be working with Macie again!”
About: I have always had dogs! I have one 3 year old goldendoodle who loves friends! We would love to share time and toys with your baby! I work Monday - Friday 6 mins from my home. I can come home for potty breaks as needed. I am home on the weekends. This is a dog's world, I just live in it! I am all about meeting their needs. My dog, Missy Lou, will be with me, and we would love be with your furry friends where it is most comfortable for them.
“Allison and Sloan did so good taking care of our puppy! We were gone for almost 3 weeks and they treated our dog as their own! They sent tons of photos and took him on walks and hikes. We felt like our puppy was taken care of above and beyond! We would definitely have them watch our puppy again when we leave town!”
About: Hi, I'm Crystal! I've been an animal caretaker my whole life — mainly dogs, but growing up we had everything: dogs, cats, rats, snakes, a pig, a goat, turkeys, chickens, ducks, horses, turtles, and fish. I started really doing the work of caring for them around age 9, so I have about 15 years of hands-on experience. As an adult I've had a dog, a few cats, and some chickens. Currently I have Cocoa (my dog), my cats Tigre, Princess Cecelia, and Blue, and 2 chickens. Because I've handled so many different species over the years, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and personalities: shy rescues, rowdy puppies, picky cats, you name it. What sets me apart is all that variety — most sitters know dogs and cats, but I've cared for just about everything, so very little surprises me. Your pet will be in experienced, confident hands. I work from home running my own business, so I'm home most of the day and my schedule is flexible. That means lots of company, playtime, and potty breaks for boarding guests, and I can usually fit walks and drop-ins around your timing. Just message me and we'll make it work! Every owner and pet is a little different, so I start with a calm, tidy environment and let the pet set the pace. Once they get comfortable, there's more play and energy, but if they're shy, I'll never push it or do anything that scares them or makes them uneasy. I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout the stay or walk, so you never have to worry.
“Amanda is the BEST. She took incredible care of our crew. We have a whole laundry list of little routines and special requirements (who gets what food, who needs extra attention, who needs what meds and vitamins) and she handled every little thing. She gave everyone extra loves and wasn’t even slightly put off by our dramatic, screaming hound (who, might I add, is completely in love with her). That says everything. We also loved getting the daily photos and little updates! They weren’t generic, just sweet little check-ins that made us feel content and totally at ease while we were gone. We came home to happy animals and a house that didn’t feel like it had been through pet-chaos or neglected at all. Amanda is patient, reliable, and genuinely wonderful. We’ll absolutely be booking her again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Great family to babysit your dog! Mine is special needs that requires meds twice daily and they were on top of it. Always sent pictures and videos daily so we could see what she was up to. We will come back again for our next vacation and highly recommend 😊”
“Super kind with our big guy especially since he damaged his walls from either separation anxiety or attacking lights/reflections. We will be compensating him for this. ? they took care of Blue and were just very kind.”
“As always, Bianca is incredible with our pups. They get so much love and care from her and her kids. Our dog was having some health issues but we left him knowing he was in great hands.”

I am so appreciative of the level of care my dog received from Laura! He was so happy and comfortable with her that I had zero concerns about him while I was on my trip. I felt like she loved him like one of her own and that means a lot to me! I would definitely use your service again! 🤍
Danii is awesome with our dogs! We have left them with her three times now and they are always excited to see her! She sends us pictures and updates and is very good at communicating with us about how they are doing. We no longer have to worry when we leave them because we know they are being well cared for.
Chaylee was wonderful. This was our first time ever boarding or having someone watch our dog that wasn’t a family member. She was extremely kind, very responsive, sent many photos that honestly helped with the anxious feeling of our Ghost being in a new place. It was very much a new happy place. Truly she deeply cares for pets and is just a kind and sweet soul. Thank you very much

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Riverdale is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $51 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.

As of November 2026, there are 1,023 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Riverdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% 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, we recommend 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverdale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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 UT 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
