“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!”
About: Having a hugely flexible schedule and an affection for pets has made me the go-to sitter for a large group of friends and acquaintances for the past several years, with intermittent experience before that. I’m a freelance filmmaker and photographer and my schedule is highly flexible with lots of time I can happily devote to spending with your dog/s and/or cat/s. I don’t have any special certifications but I’ve watched dogs of varying ages and breeds, with simple and complicated needs. Happy to consider unique circumstances, but my main experience is in walking and spending time with dogs and cats.
About: I have been a devoted dog owner for over 25 years and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I provide attentive, personalized care. I prioritize their health and happiness through walks, plenty of love, and careful attention to their needs. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own! I am a stay at home dog mom. 🐶 I love to start and end my day with walking my dog. And sometimes one in between. 😊 I have lots of time to love and care for your dog as well! I have a fenced yard, as well as living across the street from a large park. I take my dog over several times a day to walk and play. I can also crate your dog if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since birth and till death. I’ve been around pets my whole life and know the do’s and don’t’s of pet care. I have a part time job but if I accepted your boarding request there would be someone home the entire time. You will never have to worry about a lack of attention and care from me. My pets get along with others and are crate trained. Your pets would be treated like a member of the family. We could work on training as well.
About: I have grown up my whole life around dogs and have a dog of my own now. I have experience with dogs of all different ages and sizes and look forward to meeting your pup! I have a very flexible/changing schedule and am willing to work with whatever you and your pet need! I do some videography work, so the schedule isn’t the same everyday, but I can be very flexible. I will be sure to follow whatever instructions are best for your pup. Coming to your home for drop in visits or taking them out of the house for walks! I am comfortable crating your dog if that’s what you prefer!
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I got my dog and cat in 2015! This is my 5th year as a Rover sitter. I am dependable to walk your fur baby, feed them, provide specialized care, and love them! I work full time as a behavioral technician! My availability differs depending on my schedule for the week. I would love to find the perfect time to take care of your pets! I have a 5 year old cat named Panda Bear. I recently lost an amazing dog named Jack and a sweet cat named Bambi. My fur babies are prioritized and loved on 24/7!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid but I have watched other’s dogs on and off for the past 20 yrs. I love all dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked in a Veterinarian Clinic as a kennel tech/bather and in a dog daycare/boarding facility that at times could have an upwards of 100 dogs. I have some knowledge of dog health care, administering medications and tending to wounds. I am very good at reading dog body language as well. I do require some things. Your dog must be up to date on all vaccinations and I do suggest doing a meet and greet before hand. I also live in a fourplex so I can’t have dogs that bark excessively unless you have a vibrating collar of some sort that can manage it. That being said, caring for dogs is not a job to me but something I love more than anything and just an absolute privilege! I’m currently working part time so I still have plenty of time to play with your pups! I also live very close to my work so I can come and let the dogs out. I live in a cozy 3 bedroom apartment fourplex. There’s a ton of green grassy yard to play on. I do have to keep dogs on a leash since it’s not fenced in. I also have a couple very long cable lead outs. Inside they’re more than welcome to come cuddle on the couch.
About: I am an Army Veteran who learned the power of a bond between animals and humans after being discharged from the military and needing a companion of my own. I am currently a dog trainer as well as pursuing a bachelor's degree in animal behavior and health! I am a dog trainer that does board and train sessions as well as private in home lessons, while also pursuing my degree in animal behavior and health. I do train dogs full time, but please let me know what works with your schedule and I will do my best to accommodate! I have a big fenced yard and two australian shepherds that are very friendly. I can easily crate animals if needed or separate them by rooms if your dog does not like other dogs.
“Ashley has been walking our dog for the past month, and she has been nothing short of amazing! She arrives right on time for every walk and consistently sends us updates with photos and the route she takes. Our dog absolutely loves her, and we feel so much more at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. We highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker!”

Can give medications or any kind. I am currently in school so it will be after school times. I can come out earlier depending on the day. I would love to work with you and your schedules as well!

In my house animals are well taken care of and loved any time we are home and spoiled while they are out with us on adventures.

Nowadays I just have my one little girl at my house - Her name is Shorty and she's a 9 year old Beagle I work for myself and often have big breaks in my schedule.

About: I grew up with a mixed Border Collie and assisted in helping him learn tricks, and control his barking when people came to put door! I have since have cared for my sister’s two dogs and a friend’s dog, with a lot of experience with other dogs and animals throughout the years. I love how loyal dogs are, and their desire to have fun at any moment! I am currently able to dog walk between 3-10pm on weekdays in West Haven, and with notice I have full availability in Lehi on Fridays and Saturdays. I would love to ensure I leave your home as it was or cleaner after my provided services! I want to provide care that feels like you weren’t ever gone and your home and animals were taken care of.
About: As a pet owner, I understand the responsibility, patience, and love that goes into caring for an animal every day. From maintaining consistent feeding and exercise routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health, I’ve gained firsthand experience in providing attentive, compassionate care. Being a pet owner has taught me how important trust, routine, and genuine affection are in keeping pets happy and comfortable. I am currently a SAHM and can pop in and feed and walk your dog or cat anytime between 9-3 during the week. Available on nights and weekends. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest, to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. Clean spaces, fresh water, and yearly vet appointments.
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.
About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Riverdale is $19
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
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!!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Riverdale is $14 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $14 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

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 Riverdale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Riverdale after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
