“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 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!”

“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!!!”

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’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 4:45 PM, and leave around 7:50 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.
“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: Hi! I’m Hannah, and I’m a dog person through and through. Grown up with dogs practically my whole life. I believe dogs aren’t just pets they’re family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. I love getting to know each dog’s individual personality. Whether your pup is energetic and wants to play all day, loves going on walks, or is happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is to make their time with me feel less like being away from home and more like a little vacation of their own! 🐾 What Your Dog Can Expect Walks, playtime, and plenty of attention Lots of love, cuddles, and companionship Meals and treats according to their normal routine Regular potty breaks Playtime and enrichment based on their energy level Photo and message updates so you never feel out of the loop A calm, safe, and comfortable environment I understand that every dog has their own routine and quirks, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pup comfortable. If they have a favorite toy, a specific walking routine, a certain way they like their food prepared, or simply need some extra reassurance, I’m happy to accommodate. I also know how much trust goes into choosing someone to care for your dog. I’ll treat your pup with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own. Whether you’re going out of town, working a long day, or just need someone to give your dog some extra love and exercise, I’d be excited to meet your pup and give them a day full of walks, play, cuddles, and care! I’m currently a part-time college student online and I have a lot of free time during my day to care for your babies! If you need me in the morning, evening, or for late night check-ins I’m there. I understand that caring for your dog often means being welcomed into your home, and I don’t take that trust lightly. I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your dog is safe and supervised during every visit. I’m respectful of your privacy and personal space and will only access the areas of your home that are necessary for caring for your pup. I’ll also keep you updated during visits with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

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: I have watched the pets of neighbors/friends/family many a time, when I was younger I volunteered at the shelters, and as a tradesman I encountered animals when you wouldn't think. Now I'm going a different route in life I'm just trying to live in a more relaxed manner, just trying to make some money and make a few furry friends along the way. I do gig/freelance work to accommodate family needs. But I am pretty free and open most days. So book me and let's get to walkin! A 1/8 acre fenced back yard with shaded patio and two water bowls, and a doggy door everything a dog needs for a day.

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.

“I loved Aubrey! She was so kind and loved my dogs! they instantly took to her and i knew they were in good hands! Aubrey was easy to communicate with and sent me lots of great photos while she spent time with my pups!”

“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 :)
About: I have loved and owned many pets my whole life. I have a doggo and 2 kitties of my own. My pets love making new friends! I am a SAHM currently so I'm home all the time or out at the park with the kids. I think caring for animals will give the kids something good to help learn responsibility as well, while they are home during the summertime. I have a fenced backyard. My dogs are free to eat whenever they want. But I can follow special feeding schedules if needed. Inside we have plenty of space for kitties to roam and hide.
“Claudia is THE absolute best ever. My golden retriever Loki clearly had the time of his life with her on their long 2 mile walk. She seemed to enjoy her time with him just as much as he did, which melts my heart. That’s what everyone hopes for. She was sooo nice and lots of fun to chat with. And she took TONS of pictures (even had him posing on a bench for her ?). 1000/10 adore her and would trust her with my boy anytime!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds since I was about 10. I have done everything from walking, feeding, playing, and giving medications by mouth. I am a stay at home mom with my first baby! I am pretty open and available to most times through out the week! I will be sure to keep my calendar updated with my availability. I have a huge fenced in yard, the fence is 5 ft tall. I have two dogs that are very friendly (Tav and Trooper) they love to play, and a cat (Jett) who loves to relax. I am able to keep your little friend company with no worries at all.
About: I have always been the go-to friend, when it comes to taking care of their pets while they are away. Over the years I have had experienced all sorts of dogs and cats, and have given them all the care and love as I do my own pets. ❤️ I’m a full time hairstylist who’s just wanting some animal interaction away from the salon. I have Mondays available from 11-3 to snuggle, walk and play with your fur babies. If I am making a home visit, I will spend 40-60 minutes with your beloved pet. Making sure water is topped off, and feed if need, while giving your pet undivided attention in your absence. If I am dog walking, my dog and I will stop in and take your dog for a fun jaunt and play in the park. (40-60 min). (If my dog doesn’t get along with your dog, we can make it just me.)

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!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Riverdale on Rover is $14.17 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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
- 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 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.
