“She is a wonderful pet sitter. It is our first time leaving our cats alone for a week and we were nervous cause one of ours is too shy and he became close with her and the notes and pictures made us feel so much better that are being taken care of. I will highly recommend her and i will definitely choose her next time i want a pet sitter. The dedication and care she has towards what she does and how she does her job far exceeds what our thoughts were. We can tell it’s not just a “job” for her, what she did for us helped put all of our fears and doubts at ease. Wonderful communication, pictures on her visits and feedback even as simple as keeping a light on for our cats. She went the distance and then some. Words don’t do her justice but we pray anyone reading this review will take it to heart, we are truly blessed to have had the pleasure of working with her.”
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: Dog owner all my life. We have 3 dogs that are all 6 years or younger. As we are empty nesters, these are our babies. We travel at least twice a year and I do this, so pet owners have the peace of mind my husband and I also need, when traveling. If you have multiple pets, and you do not want to separate them, I will be happy to visit multiple times daily and spend ample time with them at your home (where they will likely feel more comfortable). I listed taking 2 dogs at a time but they have to be from the same owner, that's about as much as I can handle along with my own. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom. I spend most weekdays spending time with, or taking care of my Dad, who is an amputee Veteran. I have a reliable mid-size vehicle and get out of my house everyday, so my schedule is open. We have a doggie door out of our kitchen that goes straight to our fenced in backyard. The yard is quite large and there's plenty of room for our 3 dogs and visitors to run around, be a dog, and play. Our dogs pretty much rule our house, but we keep it clean, there's upkeep, order, and no small items that any dog can pick up and destroy (after many lessons learned) there is also a wrought iron gate keeping the upstairs and downstairs completely separate, which has mostly been used for our granddaughters as of late. The downstairs is finished and like a separate apartment so if you'd feel better having your dogs separated from mine, I can accommodate.
“We loved having Megan care for our fur baby! We felt very confident leaving her in charge to provide essential care, as well as love and affection. We will definitely be booking with Megan again in the future.”
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 attend college Monday through Thursday. I will be available for boarding on the weekends at any time and on the weekdays when I am home from classes. 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.
“Booked again, and as always, Miko was well taken care of. I appreciate the updates and pictures while I’m away, great pictures btw, brings peace of mind. Thank you for going above and beyond and taking time to supervise Miko outside, which is his favorite. He loves going outside several times a day, and it meant a lot that they were so patient and attentive with him. Thank you again for always following instructions carefully and taking such thoughtful care of Miko. Very grateful!”

About: I've shared my life with dogs since I was 3 years old, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I became a vegetarian at 13 because of my deep love and respect for animals, and I truly believe they deserve patience, kindness, and attentive care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive personalized attention and plenty of affection. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own. I currently work a unique 7-days-on, 7-days-off schedule, which gives me an entire week at a time dedicated to caring for pets. During my weeks off, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care while you’re on vacation, traveling, or busy with work. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent and comfortable as possible Your pet's safety is my top priority. I'll carefully follow your instructions and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll always ensure dogs are securely leashed before going outside, double-check that gates and doors are closed, and only use crates if that's part of your pet's normal routine. During walks, I'll stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and use reflective gear and lights when walking in low-light conditions. I'll also respect your home by keeping it clean, locking doors and windows when I leave, and sending regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
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 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.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
Brandi was amazing to work with. She communicated with me from the very beginning, asked thoughtful questions at our meet and greet, and provided my dog with great care. I never worried while I was away from home. This was my first time using Rover. If it's as easy as Brandi makes it, I'll definitely be booking with her again!
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!

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.
