“Candace has been awesome to work with! She’s been reliable to take my dog on walks during the week while I’m at work, and they’re also pretty long too which helps! My dog seems to be happy with her and we’ve been impressed. Will keep using Candace!”
“Liz has been great with Vega. It took a couple visits for Vega to be comfortable with Liz as she does not like strangers or people in general! Vega is now letting Liz walk, pet, and cuddle with her!”
“We were so fortunate to find Emma on Rover. We moved to an apartment in March and needed her to walk and exercise our 2 dogs. Our girls as I call our dogs love her. Emma is also a dog trainer and I appreciate how she does it with patience and kindness. Bailey our Golden Retriever pulled on her lease and it was difficult for me to keep holding on. Emma taught her to walk without pulling and it’s made a big difference. Emma also taught other commands. My girls now walk and play without being stimulated by other dogs. She is the best!!!”
“Once again another happy dog and owner. Booked a 1 hr walk but the weather turned crappy fast. Traylor and Jason had great communication with me and Traylor still wanted to give my dog a full hour! They did half walk/half car ride and it worked out perfect! Opal looks so happy Thanks so much! I am glad they watch out for Opal like she is their own!”
About: As a teacher, I’m used to being responsible, patient, and attentive to the needs of others every day. I bring that same care and consistency to every pet I look after. I’m dependable, detail oriented, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I also have my own large, overprotective dog with a big personality, so I understand how important it is to find someone who truly takes the time to understand a pet’s individual needs. I know firsthand that some dogs can be misunderstood and that finding the right person who respects their boundaries, routines, and quirks makes all the difference. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or simply needs a little extra patience, I’ll take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a teacher, so I have great availability on weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening drop-ins on weekdays. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both your pet’s needs and your routine. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, litter box care, and plenty of attention and affection based on their individual personality. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and boundaries. Some pets love lots of interaction, while others need a little more patience and space to warm up. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, while also providing you with updates and peace of mind.
“Kerry was great !! He actually came to be introduced to my dogs prior and took some time to get to know them and see how the interacted. On the walk he was gentle and worked on the dogs behavior of pulling. Can’t recommend him enough to anyone with large dogs”
“Kaylee is wonderful, she came and met my dog free of charge beforehand and spent time getting familiar with her. She is very communicative and reliable. Her love for animals is very clear. Thanks Kaylee!”
“Aneice is top notch. She’s extremely friendly and takes very great care of my dog, Blue. She always keeps me updated and takes fantastic photos. Blue definitely enjoys her company”
“Kiana has been a genuine gift to our family. We started with her about six months ago for our 14-year-old miniature schnauzer/French bulldog mix, Lucy — and over that time she became so much more than a dog walker. As Lucy’s health declined, Kiana adapted without hesitation — adjusting pace, duration, and handling — and never made us feel like we were asking too much. What stands out most is how much she genuinely cared. You can tell the difference between someone who likes dogs and someone who sees your dog. Kiana saw Lucy. She was patient with her on the slow days, gentle when Lucy needed it most, and flexible with our schedules in ways that took real stress off our family during a really hard season. We’re grateful as a family for every walk she gave our girl. If you have a senior dog or one with changing needs, Kiana is exactly who you want in your corner.”
About: We love dogs (and all animals)! Both of us grew up with dogs in our home and we were both raised by animal lovers who passed that passion onto us! We both have experience with all stages of life (puppy through senior), we’ve administered medication, cleaned up all of the messes, and have worked with reactive dogs. We’ve both trained our own dogs and have worked with a trainer for our dog, Basil. We understand that each pup has their own unique personality and their own needs and we are happy to provide whatever they need! I currently have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am home most of the time working remotely and when I do have to be in office for work, it’s typically only for a couple of hours a few days a week. My office is less than 5 mins from my house as well, so I am close by at all times and I have the flexibility to leave if and when I need to. My husband works from home and is home all the time, so between the two of us, someone is always available! We do leave the house together in the evenings and on weekends sometimes, but never for more than a few hours at a time. In our home, we have a large fenced backyard with ample room for your baby to run and play! We have 3 pups of our own. Gunther is a senior Springer Spaniel who is pure love and will play with anyone and everyone. Basil is a 2 year old Aussie mix who loves to run and play, but takes a few mins to warm up to new friends sometimes. And Drew is a senior chihuahua who is happy doing his own thing but is very sweet and patient with all friends! We do also have 2 cats in the home who will respect your pup’s space as long as they respect the cat’s space. In your home, we will follow any special guidelines given. We are very respectful of your space and your pet’s space. We are clean and professional. We will make sure your pet has food, water, potty breaks, and LOVE while we hang out with them. We love to play with all fur babies whether it’s inside with toys or outside with a ball! We can take them on walks, administer medication, clean up any messes (inside or out) and provide endless cuddles if they are comfortable with it!
About: I love walking and caring for dogs. I believe that regular exercise is important for every pet. I have been walking dogs for years. Over the past few months i have been providing daily care for my sisters two dogs. I have a flexible schedule and would love to be your pets favorite walker. I can fit your schedule very easily and will help your pet get appropriate exercise. I have been making sure my sisters dog got the vitamins and supplements he needed over the past few months when she was out of state.
About: Hi my name Is Jennifer, I have two large dogs of my own, a Germans shepherd/husky (Abbey) and a golden retriever/lab (Eleanor). Both dogs are complete opposites, Eleanor loves cuddles and sleeping while Abbey loves to run and play outside. I have experience with small and large dogs, puppies and older dogs. I would love to take care of your pets while you’re at work, vacation or just out for the day. We will play and enjoy our time together so they don’t even realize you were gone! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible and i can work around the needs for your pet. I will come to your home at the scheduled times and spend time with your pets. Once you book, I prefer to schedule a meetup so I can meet your pets and get acquainted with where food and toys are kept.
About: I have worked and dogsat multiple times since I was in Junior High School (2017) I have two dogs of my own, a family dog and my own girl. I have loved dogs since I was a little girl and loved every chance I had to spend with any of them. I currently work full time at Olive Garden as a server so my hours are quite set but also flexible for dog sitting, or walking! I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be available to have in home stays for the pets and animals I would be watching.
“Aubrey was a fast responder in our last minute need for our dog, Tucker to be walked. She was a great communicator and her willingness to help us out was greatly appreciated.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved, so I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and snuggly. My goal is always to create a comfortable, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels right at home. You can trust that they’ll be in caring hands and treated like part of the family 🐾💛 Between me and my husband, we do both work currently Monday-Friday. I am usually home by 6 PM, and leave around 7:30 am, my husband is usually home no later than 3:30 pm. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home, dogs enjoy plenty of space and freedom on our 3.25-acre property, with partially fenced areas for safe outdoor play and exploration. Our three-bedroom home offers a calm, comfortable environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I tailor care to each dog’s routine and preferences. Whether your dog is used to sleeping in a kennel at night or prefers to sleep outside or uncrated, I’m happy to accommodate what they’re most comfortable with. Throughout the day, dogs get lots of supervised playtime, exercise, and attention—there’s never a shortage of love or fun here. I can administer medications as directed and always follow feeding schedules and special instructions. I also provide daily photo and message updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I truly love dogs of all kinds and make sure each one gets plenty of time, patience, and personalized care so they feel safe, comfortable, and excited during their stay.
About: Hey! I’m Tia! I am a huge lover of animals and have two friendly goldendoodles and two kitties. My pets are no strangers to new furry friends! I was a veterinarian technician for almost 3.5 years but have decided to be a stay at home mom for the time being. Taking care of animals is my passion and something I love to do very much! I would love to be able to love, hang out, and take care of your fur babies!! Pet care is my number one priority of my day. The first thing I do in the morning is make sure my pets are all feed, taken out, and loved on. Then at the end of the day I make sure to take my dogs out on a walk or play ball for 30 minutes. They make me happy so I want to make them happy! I am a stay at home mom so I am most of the day unless we go out for a quick adventure or grocery trip! If you choose me to be your boarder/daycare for your pups I will make sure your pet is treated and loved on like my own! They will be kenneled at night and when I can’t keep my eyes on them to ensure everyone stays safe and out of trouble! If everyone get along okay we can adjust as needed! Im flexible! I used to work at a vet clinic that I am still very close with as well so I have direct access to a veterinarian as needed for emergencies!
About: I am the youngest of 3 and growing up, we always had dogs in the family. I the youngest usually would have the duties to clean up after the dogs and make sure they have food and water with potty breaks. I am diligent and responsible for any tasks need to be done. I am new to Rover but I am excited to help take care of your pets! I consistently take care of my own dogs; Franky (A Golden Retriever) and Ringo (A Shitzu). I will respect your property as I would like mine to be treated. I have a positive attitude when it comes to taking care of pets and the environment around me.

Jayd and Ecko were fantastic to work with and did an amazing job while we were gone on a trip! They went above and beyond, always sent a ton of pictures and spent quality time playing with our dogs beyond what we expected. We came home to pups who were much calmer and more relaxed than usual, which we can absolutely attribute to the time Jayd and Ecko took to make sure they got all the love and care they needed while we were away. We will absolutely book with them again!
Cami was incredible during our trip abroad. It was such a relief to see my boy warm up more and more each walk and to know he was getting cared for and loved. She’s so good at leaving post walk pictures and reviews and they were a highlight while we were away from home. Thank you thank you thank you!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Riverdale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Riverdale.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverdale. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
