About: I have had and loved dogs since I was learning how to walk with my best friend Buster! I’m familiar with all things dog and cat care related, from puppy/kitten to senior. No additional skills to highlight, just common sense, critical thinking, and a whole lot of love for animals. I’m available all days of the week to care for your animals! I’m currently looking for an additional part-time job on top of Rover, but for the time being my availability is open! I am able to care for your pets however you would like! I'm available for house sitting, drop bys, and walks. I am just short of 5ft tall, so I may have trouble walking bigger dogs, but we can discuss if that comes up!
“Dawn was so friendly, went above and beyond, came and met our cat before the sit, and brought great experience. She noticed he would like a laser and brought that to play with him, brushed him, and went the extra mile. Such an excellent experience and couldn’t be more at ease on our vacation knowing Dawn was coming to check on our little buddy at home! Great updates and photos as well. Thanks Dawn!!! 🩷🙏”

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’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.
“Megan is fantastic! We have been using her for a year and a half now and she has always impressed. Our cat absolutely loves her and looks forward to her visits. She is dependable and spends plenty of time with our cat. We always look forward to her pictures and updates from her visit.”
About: I have 3 dogs at home and am looking to grow my dog network! I love meeting new pups, and would love to take care of yours! Rover has been so helpful to me with my own dogs, I am excited to return the favor to others! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am available on weekends so you can get away and know your pets are taken care of. I have a fully fenced yard, and we frequently play fetch and utilize the space. I hope to do the same in your home/yard and fulfill your pet’s needs!
“Lyric was great! We booked last minute and she was able to come meet the dogs and cats the same day we booked. She was flexible and dependable! We will definitely be using her again next time we need a Rover!”
About: I have had many dogs in my lifetime. We currently have a 3 year old black lab. I have also been a pet sitter for several people over the years. I love all pets and am very comfortable with all breeds even "aggressive" ones. My schedule is pretty flexible during the week and I am free most weekends. I am currently a stay at home mom with one child and one dog. I can make any schedule work. I do not have any time restrictions. I have a fully fenced yard. There is lots of shade as well as sun. I also have an insulated dog house. Pets are allowed inside the home as long as they are potty trained. (Puppies under 1 year are an exception)
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!
“Shayla is the best!!! She is so nice and she takes such good care of our two mini golden doodles. We have her come twice a day. She is there on time, she walks them around the neighborhood to get exercise. She cleans the dogs eyes and put drops in them. She chops up their food for them. She gives them a lot of love and scratches. I love when she sends us pictures. I will always have her as their babysitter.”
About: I’ve been living and working with dog since i was 5 years old. I have great understanding and respect for all animals and how they work. I grew up with a large Lab, when I moved out I rescued two large dogs of my own from poor living situation. We have been going strong for over 9 years now. I’m more than capable of handling any size dog, and have no problem looking after cats!
“Kelly was wonderful with our large dog (lab/pointer) she played with her, took her on a walk, fed and cared for her like it was her own. I will definitely use her services again. Very impressed! Thank you Kelly!”

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!
Can’t recommend Melia enough to take care of your pets while you’re away. throughout my trip i was given plenty of updates on the wellbeing of my pets which i do consider my children. I was able to rest easy knowing they were in good hands. I look forward to booking Melia again on my next trip. 🩵🐶🐱
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Riverdale is $12 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 2,492 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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

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 , 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.
