“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!”


“Candace was truly professional and always on time! Worked with me a lot and always went out of her way when I needed last minute walks. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker! If you are searching for a dog walker or a drop in sitter Candace should be your go to!”

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!
“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!!!”

“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”

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’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.
“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.”

“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!”


About: I have over 8 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes for family and friends. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and building a bond with them so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets with special dietary needs, administering extra care for sick cats and dogs, and working with shy, anxious, energetic, and senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m currently an undergraduate student studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Utah. Since I have the summer off from classes, my schedule is very flexible, giving me plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My availability is wide open until the fall semester begins on August 24, so I can easily accommodate weekdays, weekends, and last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. If I’m staying in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect that I treat my own. I’ll keep your home clean and tidy, follow all household instructions, and make sure it’s secure while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. My home is also a safe, dog-friendly environment for boarding. It has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, as well as two levels that provide plenty of space to relax and explore. I no longer have any dogs of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention in a calm environment without needing to adjust to resident pets. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them like a member of my own family and provide the love, attention, and care they deserve.
“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”


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 :)

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.
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.

I am looking for a job & doing school. I’m available through the weekdays & sometimes during the weekends.

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.

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.
