About: I truly treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. I genuinely love any animal under the sun. And I’ll match every dog’s energy. From couch potato to zoomies expert! I’m currently working part time at a restaurant near me in Ogden UT. So I’m not constantly working, leaving plenty time to give your dogs affection and proper care. I’m also willing to move my schedule around and take days off it’s needed! I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel both physically safe and emotionally. My home does have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run around. I pride in leaving both your pets happy and your home clean and well maintained before your return!
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.
“Kimberly came to our apartment for drop-in checkups on my two cats for two weeks. She did a great job communicating and making sure the cats and apartment were well taken care of. She also showed that she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure they got everything they needed if necessary. We really appreciated her help and would hire her again for future help!”
About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life, I was always the primary care taker for my golden doodle growing up and I take care of my own kitty now. I was also in charge of house breaking, and skill training for three different dogs we had. I’m excited to meet some new cute kitties and pups! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is very open! For short visits I’ll bring my baby with but for anything lengthier I can drop her off with my parents, I’d love to take time out of my day to play with some animals and get out of the house! When I’ve watched pets before I’ll make sure to let them outside to do their business, then make sure I play with them for a while to get their energy out before they have to come back inside :)
About: I grew up with dogs and have been dog sitting for the past four years for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, feeding, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to fit visits and walks throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or an evening check-in, I’m happy to work with your routine. I know how important consistency is, and I’ll do my best to be there when your pet needs me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep doors and gates secure, make sure fresh water is available, and give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a very energetic puppy, so I’m used to keeping up with active pets and recognizing when they need playtime, exercise, or just a little extra love. I’ll also send updates and photos after every visit so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“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.”
“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.”
About: Although my experience with dogs is still growing, I understand how important love, attention, routine, proper diet, and overall health are to keeping dogs happy and comfortable. Your dog’s comfort, safety & health are my top priorities. I’ll always follow their routine and care instructions closely As of right now, my schedule is pretty open. I am looking for a job & doing school. I’m available through the weekdays & sometimes during the weekends. I’m available always in the morning & afternoon Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for the pet & their routine. I’m very loving, caring, and respectful toward every animal I care for. I enjoy building strong, trusting bonds with both dogs and cats so they feel safe around me. Having animals of my own has made me even more passionate about creating meaningful connections & providing attentive, compassionate care for every pet.
About: I can care for any pet whether it’s small creatures to farm animals! Since I was a kid I’ve taken care of farm animals by feeding and topping off water or bottles feeding, changing bedding, brushing and more. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs by taking them for walks, bathing, brushing, clipping nails and making sure they have food and water. I have a LaBernese Dog of my own and I had an Hedgehog that Sadly passed due to old age. I currently live with two other dogs that I also help care for. I have dog grooming experience same with boarding and daycare experience from previous jobs. I have plenty of free time I’m available all day everyday even weekends! For walks I can starting from 7am and as late as 10pm. I have a fenced backyard and my dog loves all dog! Your fur baby will have all the space they need with a decent to big backyard if in my house. If not I can provide good exercise either on walks/runs or in the backyard if one is provided. We can also do play time for your pet or just relax depending on your pets energy level. I will clean up any mess including bedding , poop, litter boxes, throw up and a lot more. I will also leave your house the same or better than I found it for your convenience.
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: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my life. I grew up around all kinds of animals so I have a lot of experience taking care of them. Friends and family have relied on me to feed and walk their dogs. I just finished a summer of seasonal work in Yosemite national park and am in between summer and winter jobs and I am looking for a side hustle while during these few months of limbo. I have had animals since I was a little. I have cared for them all my life and I have a lot of experience with that.I used to babysit and sometimes dogs were also apart of that so although I have never watched dogs specifically I am very comfortable around them.

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!

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 .

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.

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.
