About: Hello! I’m Hannah, and I can’t wait to give your pet a safe, fun, and comfortable "home away from home." I’ve been a dog owner my whole life. I grew up with dogs and got a dog of my own as soon as I was able to after college. As an avid long-distance runner and outdoor enthusiast, I am the perfect match for high-energy pups who love to stay moving. Whether your dog thrives on long walks or backyard fetching, they will get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Of course, I also appreciate the art of winding down—there will always be plenty of couch cuddles and belly rubs after a fun day! I’m currently a stay at home dog mom and can easily accommodate your pet's specific feeding, potty, and exercise schedules to keep their day as stress-free as possible. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member into a warm, active, and loving environment! I live in a comfortable home with a fully fenced-in backyard, giving dogs a secure space to play, sniff, and stretch their legs safely. I have two dogs, Willow and Aspen who love to play and make new friends. So your pet will get double the companionship and attention during their stay!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have lots of experience caring for different breeds, including Boston Terriers, Teacup Yorkies, French Bulldogs, Rottweilers, Australian Shepherds, and Labs (and many more!). I’ve had lots of experience caring for my neighbors’ and close friends’ pets while they’ve been out of town, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, from small breeds to larger, more energetic dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, baths, playtime, and giving your pets plenty of attention and affection. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable and loved, just like they would with their own family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and I want to treat your pets like my own! I’ll do my best to keep them happy, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away🤎 I’m currently a full-time college student with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I work part-time on Wednesdays and Fridays. However, my schedule is still fairly flexible, and I often have availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs. I’m also usually available on weekends! I also am happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets. I want the way your pet is cared and loved for to be like as if you were taking care of them. I will always follow your instructions, respect your pet’s routines, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. Whether we’re out on a walk, enjoying playtime, or relaxing at home, I’ll do my best to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. And if you have any other requests, I would love to communicate more.

About: I am a dedicated animal lover with a natural ability to connect well with pets. I currently have a 2 pound chihuahua and have experience fostering, whom I thoroughly enjoyed caring for. I am able to care for dogs in the evening for walks when fur parents may not be available to do so. In addition to fostering, I also connect with cats. A friend's skittish cat feels comfortable enough to move about freely and relax in my presence, which reflects my calm and patient approach to animal care. I am currently looking for a part time gigs in the evenings Monday-Friday starting at 5:30pm. In the weekends I am only able to drop in and check on the fur friend and/or go on a walk with me. If there is a consistent fur friend that needs constant care, i would be opened to that. Before going to someone's home, I would ask what are is okay and not. What the fur friend needs to have a good time. Go on walks, on a small hike. Take to a dog park to socialize. Any specific details that I must know.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind and I love them all!! I have been dog sitting for 2 years now and also have my own animals that I love and take care of constantly. I also have a big back yard and lots of room in my home! I have had my own pets for my whole life so taking care of pets is my daily routine! I do work a part time job but it is early in the morning, so after that I go home and take care of my own pets. I have a fenced yard and lots of room in my home. I also have 2 dogs of my own that are small and very nice. I have many crates of all sizes if needed as well.

About: I have had pets my entire life and can’t imagine being without them. I would love to dote on your pets while you are away so they know they are always loved! I am currently available anytime. That might adjust with some upcoming life changes. Currently Harley Dog and I enjoy morning walks, and evening time brush sessions. I have a partially fenced yard so I would take them to potty and on walks with a leash. Harley and the boys (cats) are dog friendly. Or at least dog neutral since the boys tend to ignore them.

About: I've watched multiple pets, older pets, shy pets, and houses big and small and would be happy to do the same for you. Have to watch pets in their home because I don't have a place of my own at the moment. Experienced with cats, dogs, turtles, birds, goats. I pretty much devote myself full-time to your pet(s). I'll only need to go out to buy sustenance and for exercise/fresh air, which I can do with your pets. I like to meet pets first and care for them the way they are used to and according to their human's instructions. Have looked after large dogs fresh out of surgery, a blind dog (so sweet), cats who need meds, fish, dogs with severe allergies and more. I used to have a dog and cat but the dog died (she was 16) and the cat, whose age we didn't know because she was a rescue, may have died of a broken heart nine months later. Which also broke my heart. I won't get more pets until I settle down somewhere, which means your pets get my undivided attention.

About: Hi! I’m a military family member living right here on Hill AFB, and I’d love to welcome your fur baby into my home! 🐾 I live in a comfortable 3-bedroom home with a fully fenced backyard, giving your pup plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away. My wife also lives with me, so your pup will have a loving, comfortable home environment. I have an 8-year-old Black Lab named Bleu and a 3-year-old domestic shorthair cat named Scat. Both are part of the family and are used to having other animals around. 🐶🐱 I understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan. Work trips, vacations, last-minute changes, emergencies, or simply needing someone you trust to watch your pup can happen with very little notice. I’m happy to work with different schedules whenever I can because I know how important it is to have someone reliable you can count on. My goal is simple: treat your dog like they’re one of mine. ❤️ I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of dogs as long as they’re house-trained, dog- and cat-friendly, and not food aggressive. Outside of those basics, I’m pretty easygoing! I’m happy to follow your normal routines, feeding instructions, medication schedules, crate preferences, and whatever helps your pup feel comfortable. While you’re away, you can expect plenty of attention, a safe home environment, backyard time, and lots of love and cuddles. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you don’t have to wonder what your fur baby is up to. 📸🐾 Whether you need a sitter for a planned vacation or something comes up at the last minute, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furbaby! Rover Profile Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m already used to the daily responsibilities that come with caring for pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and all the little things that help pets feel comfortable and happy. One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that pets will have someone around throughout the day, so they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, keep an eye on them, and make sure they stay on their normal routine while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet like part of the family. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and give them plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re in my home. 🐾 Boarding & Daycare For boarding and daycare, I treat every pet that stays with me like part of the family. 🐾 My home is their home away from home, and I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and on as close to their normal routine as possible. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and plenty of room to stretch their legs. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and downtime. For cats, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where they can relax, explore at their own pace, and receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, medication instructions, crate routine, sleeping arrangements, and any other care instructions you provide. I also understand that every pet has a different personality — some want to play all day, some want constant cuddles, and some simply want a quiet place to nap. I’m happy to meet each pet where they’re most comfortable. Pets staying with me will have regular supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and being well cared for. ❤️

I have 2 dogs of my own and I love them to pieces I work for instacart so I can plan my schedule to work for you and your pups! I typically do some side gigs after work but can move things around to ensure the pups are getting the most love and attention possible! I have a big field right behind my apartment where the pups can go potty. My apartment is puppy proof and is safe for all dogs.

About: From puppies to older puppies, all dogs deserve quality care and loving attention. ~ Howdy! My name is Racquel Frisbie. I have just recent moved back to the Ogden area. In my short years, I’ve traveled internationally and one constant in all of my travels has been my enthusiasm towards every dog I’ve seen! Growing up with animals as big as horses and as small as hamsters, I’m used to creatures of all personalities, shapes, and sizes! With a heart as big as mine for dogs, I can provide responsibility, accountability, and stable care for your beloved pet. I do attend work late on weeknights but I am willing to coordinate schedules. Whatever your needs may be, you can’t count on your neighborhood pet friendly gal! Reach out so we can get your dog out :) I work part time grave shifts, Sunday - Friday, 22:00 - 07:00. Scheduling Preferences: Mornings and evenings (since it’s cooler to walk), but you know your pup better than I do. I am willing to coordinate! Comfortable furball? Check. Water bowl? Check. Leash and toys? Double check. A grand time? Check (for both parties). Lovin’s? Check. Delicious kibble? Check, shall I go on? :)

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and now have one 16 year old cat (who has been around dogs his whole life), an 8 year old mini Aussie, and a 7 year old healer/aussie mix. All of my fur babies get along with other animals and we love to play. A tired pup is a happy pup! I typically work 8-4 but have flexibility. I have a fully fenced, large backyard so I prefer animals to come to my place but I’m also willing to go check in on or walk pets at other locations. My dogs have a gotten use to not having a schedule so they are very adaptable to other pets schedule needs. I live alone so I will be very involved and attentive.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since childhood to include dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits. I am currently not working so have a very flexible schedule. I also have access to Hill Air Force Base! I have three dogs that I have raised since they were puppies so I’m experienced in puppy care and adult dog care along with medication administration. I am currently not working so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am free most any time of day and am willing to help out early or late if needed. I understand the worry of leaving your pet with someone new. I will always provide the best safety measures possible when caring for your pet. This can include crating, making sure harnesses/collars are secure before walks, and supervising chew toys!

About: With my visits you can almost guarantee added services just as a bonus. I don't mind cleaning up, poop duty and liter boxes, I've even ran errands. A bit about me.... I've grown up caring for Cats & Kittens. I have helped deliver liters of kittens. My family has loved dogs too.. especially the big ones 😁 Our first family pup was a beautiful pure white Pitbul who was in need of a rescue home and shortly following was his Brother Dashy who was a Black Lab Pitbul mix. Best two dogs i have ever had the honor of meeting and owning, they both lived to be 14 & 15 and we just recently lost them in 2021 and 2024. We do love our minpin Sadie she's 7 this year and our protection aka Guard Dog!! 😁 and we now have ourselves a beautiful Siberian Husky with beautiful baby blue eyes. We suprised my dad with him @ 8 weeks old to bring up as a companion and some emotional support.. he's 10 months and still growing I just don't do 🐍 🐍 👎 😁 I love going on car rides, finding new dog parks and tossing around toys in the yard. I just got done working Hickory Farms so I don't have a job at the moment. My availability is quite open as I try and find my place in this job world. I clean, babysit, care for the elderly and pets. I currently don't have the ability to have pets at my home. However, special circumstances can be discussed. ☆☆《I'm very patient, tolerant and trustworthy. I don't believe in animal violence or cruelty.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Riverdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Riverdale is $12 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $17 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,471 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Riverdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. 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 Meet & Greet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverdale. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
