About: I am very outgoing, positive and I love dogs. I am patient and caring and can't wait to help you not stress and your pup feel cared for when you are away! At the moment I am at Weber State University student-athlete. I am originally from Oregon and I miss my little beagle so much so I would love to help you with your busy schedules in any way I can and care for you dog(s). Most of the time I will be free Friday - Sunday for house sitting. For walks I am more free because I can come before, between, or even after classes and practice. I can even come let your dogs out for a potty break in between classes, whatever you need help with. I currently live in the dorms so I would have to come to your home if I am pet sitting. I am very responsible and a very hard worker. I would respect your things and only do the things you tell me and need help with. I am a very trustworthy person and very respectful so if you need any help at all of have questions feel free to reach out.
“Jackie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats. She was willing to meet before our trip so I could go over some of their specific needs. She was so sweet and I felt assured they would be in good hands. When she dropped in each day, she was sure to send pictures and videos of them while we were gone and texted any questions that came up. Her kids played with them and they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“I can tell Megan truly cared about our old grumpy cat while she did her drop in visits (and he loved her company!). Megan's communication was top notch, as she always sent updates and pics.”
“Very happy and services Kaleb provided. I really appreciate getting daily updates so I wouldn’t stress and would definitely select Kaleb for daily check ins for my energetic schnauzer.”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was about 10 years old. I love animals and I will certainly make sure your pet is well cared for and in good hands. I am currently out of school for the summer and looking to make some money to enjoy my time off. I am available for boarding on the weekends and weekdays at any time. I have a fenced yard at my house and zero pets. Which will ensure your pet gets the best love, care, and attention as possible.
About: YES! I only take one client family in my home at a time! This is a truly PRIVATE pet experience, where your pet can relax as if they are one of my own. No loud noises, no overcrowding, and plenty of one-on-one attention to keep them happy while you’re away. I have taken care of various cats and dogs most of my life, including those with special needs (mobility issues, blindness, seizure disorders, health concerns, etc.). I have extensive experience with seniors, pets that need medication (pills, eye and ear), have mobility problems, rescues with anxiety needs and I am not afraid to care for those who need some extra love and attention! I have a moderate sized home in Layton. I keep it clean and have a very beautiful and large fenced back yard! I’ll let your pets enjoy our home as if it was their own: they are free to roam and sit on the furniture! I have an extremely flexible schedule, as I work retail and my husband works at Hill AFB. We often work opposite shifts, which means someone is home to take care of your loved ones! My home has a fenced in backyard. We have our own animals, so we know to keep doors and gates shut. We also have no children so our house is quiet and calm. We do have non-carpeted stairs, but we have a swinging/locking gate installed to keep animals who need stair supervision downstairs on the main level as needed. Our trash can has a lid and we can put plants up if animals tend to chew. We have room for additional crates in our house as well.
About: I have always had pets in my life. I had made sure they were properly fed in the right amount at the right times and always had a fresh bowl of water. They never go without love as well as making sure they have their space to go and do their thing. Pets will always be taken care of with me and made sure they go home happy and healthy. :) I am currently unemployed. This gives me the chance to give your furr babies even more of my full attention, care, and cuddles to your animals. If taken care of at my house, I treat them the same as if they were at your house. I make sure they are comfortable.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats for family and friends. I frequently watch my best friends cat and recently watched 1 bernese mountain dog and 3 cats for my aunt. I also have 3 cats and 1 dog of my own and have grown up taking care of pets. I am a college student looking to take care of pets this summer! I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to go on walks or do drop in visits! I typically have availability on weekday mornings and afternoons, weekend availability varies! I have three cats that I take care of by feeding them, giving them water, cleaning their litter boxes, grooming them, playing with them, and of course cuddling! I also have one dog who is fed twice a day and walked once a day, she is crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night but during the day she has free reign of the house and yard. All of my animals have lots of toys, food, water, and all other resources that they may need.
About: I have a 10 month old Rottweiler and a 2 year old rescued XL bully. They are my pride and joy! I love walking and training them daily:) I currently work full time but I’d love to walk or hang out with any furry friends that need it. I’m open in the mornings until 12! I have a fenced yard and my dogs are always kenneled when we are not home. When we are home we play, go on walks and train whenever possible!
“This is the second time Jess took care of my dogs while I was away. She fed and cared for them, cleaned up after them, and was understanding of the anxiety they felt while I was away. She was also very understanding when my boyfriend was at the house for an unannounced visit when she arrived for check-in. I don't worry about my dogs as much when Jess is caring for them.”
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of puppies. I have 2 puppies and can do basic training. Really good with senior dogs and keeping them safe and healthy. Can give medications or any kind. I am currently in school so it will be after school times. I can come out earlier depending on the day. I would love to work with you and your schedules as well! At your house I will follow your rules and try to take care of your pets as close to the way you do as possible. In my house animals are well taken care of and loved any time we are home and spoiled while they are out with us on adventures.

Amazing and responsive sitter, truly above and beyond. My dog had an emergency (stressed induced diarrhea) and Emma was able to bring him to the vet and take care of him while I was gone, she cleaned up after him and kept me updated the whole time. I’ve never had such a compassionate and quick to respond sitter before, you are truly getting an absolute saint if you book her! Thank you so much Emma
Brenda is amazing! She provides great updates and the cutest photos of our pups! We appreciate her attention to detail, as well as going the extra mile and cleaning up after our crazy little dogs when they are being naughty 😂 She’s super knowledgeable and it’s clear she’s got years of experience working with animals. Thank you Brenda, you are the best!
Danii is a rockstar! She did drop in visits on my 2 pups while we were on vacation. She was absolutely amazing and we will for sure use her for all future needs. I loved that she communicated well and took lots of pictures. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pups as well!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riverdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Riverdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Riverdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
