“Jana was amazing! She took such good care of my rambunctious little golden doodle puppy while we were away. She went above and beyond by sending me videos and pictures throughout the day. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my puppy was in great care. My little Harley came home happy and exhausted from all the play ❤️ I highly, highly recommend Jana!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs since day one. As I got older I joined a local rescue as a pet foster parent and eventually rescued a few of my own outside of the rescue. I have had many types breeds of dogs in my care and have also watched ferrets, guinea pigs, goats, and cats. I have experience from newborn puppies/kittens/ chicks to senior care. I went through multiple puppy training classes with both my Dane and Shorthair. I am a stay at home human/pet mom so I have a very open schedule. I am able to watch pets in my home or drop in. I am typically always home. My backdoor opens into a 6 foot fenced, fully gated, dog run. They have 24/7 access to this, unless it's raining. We then have the "big back yard" or 1/4 acers, which has no shade and a chicken coop. So, I have to be a with them and it can'tbe blistering hot, that we work our some energy. We love outdoor time, so as long as the weather cooperates we are outside! When inside they are able to roam as they please, sit on the couch, sleep on the bed and get all the pets. I only use a crate if that is what they are used to.
“Connie is such a sweetheart who took such great care of my sweet little boy. He’s lived a life and can be nervous in new places, but her sweet self and her fun little pup Patty helped Toby settle right in and enjoy a fun filled day! I’m excited to rebook with Connie to help my little guy get more comfortable in our new town!!”
“Ashley and family were very loving and sweet. All I have to say to Steve is that we were going to see Ashley and he would run and sit by the door ready to go. We will definitely be going back for day care and boarding on weekends.”
About: I have been caring for animals most of my life! I've cared for dogs, cats, goats, chickens and even falcons! My favorite is caring for dogs. I grew up with my dog, Porky, our family Terrier. As I raised my own family, our dog, Lady, became a significant part of my children's lives. Now I often care for my children's pets, and that is where the cats, chickens, goats and falcons come in. I love them all! Occasionally I care for my children's pets; however, I don't have pets of my own. I am typically home most of the day, and if I do go out, it's only for a few hours. Please check my schedule for openings. I have a fenced in side-yard for dogs to run and play. I prefer to not walk large dogs but am happy to take them for a ride in my van. Pets are welcome on the furniture. I am open to feeding and care as suggested by my clients. I have a dog bed ready and waiting.
“Lana is awesome! My dogs and I love her and they enjoyed their stay. They were worn out and happy when they came home. It was a great experience and I will continue to use Lana for all my doggie daycare needs. Thank you Lana”
“Our dog had a great time with Jessica! He seemed to have a great day and was happy and tired when we picked him up. She helped answer our questions/concerns, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. Definitely will book again in the future!”
“Ashley and Michael were incredible. We were super late getting back from our event and they were super accommodating. Thin Mint was properly tired out and ready for bed by the time we picked him up. Great experience, I will definitely be bringing Thin Mint back!”
“Jarica and family took wonderful care to make our shy dog comfortable. Thankful for the peace of mind knowing that our dog had some play time while we attended an event. When in the area visiting friends in the future we will book with Jarica again. Loved the photos and the sight of our dog with little girls coming back from a walk!”
“This was our first time using Joel and will definitely not be our last. I loved that he had our dogs meet before he watched our pup - to ensure all dogs got along. He knows what he is talking about and quickly made our pup feel comfortable. We have had a terrible experience with Rover in the past and Joel redeemed this app for us. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Aneice was so helpful and sweet! She was really understanding and flexible with our changing plans. We got regular pictures of our girls and we always were comfortable knowing they were in great hands.”
“My little girl had an amazing day with this family. Jackie is a kind, patient loving woman who took great care of Meili. Her son and daughters were an added bonus because our Shih Tzu loves children and they were happy to play with her. She came home happy and tired. We will book again.”
“What an amazing, kind and caring family! My high energy 2 yr old was absolutely exhausted after pick up & mentally fulfilled! Communication was great, their house is prepared for a dog to be well taken care of and they are very knowledgeable in what they do & provide. I would absolutely recommend and most likely use their services again!”
About: Hello! I’m Hannah, and I can’t wait to give your pet a safe, fun, and comfortable "home away from home." I’ve been a dog owner my whole life. I grew up with dogs and got a dog of my own as soon as I was able to after college. As an avid long-distance runner and outdoor enthusiast, I am the perfect match for high-energy pups who love to stay moving. Whether your dog thrives on long walks or backyard fetching, they will get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Of course, I also appreciate the art of winding down—there will always be plenty of couch cuddles and belly rubs after a fun day! I’m currently a stay at home dog mom and can easily accommodate your pet's specific feeding, potty, and exercise schedules to keep their day as stress-free as possible. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member into a warm, active, and loving environment! I live in a comfortable home with a fully fenced-in backyard, giving dogs a secure space to play, sniff, and stretch their legs safely. I have two dogs, Willow and Aspen who love to play and make new friends. So your pet will get double the companionship and attention during their stay!
“I am so grateful to have found Nemesis! She was wonderful with my Frenchie Ava. Nemesis was so warm & inviting when we arrived to her house. Her dogs did not bark once! They showed such loving, sweet & exciting vibes when meeting my dog. Her dogs love meeting new dogs & people. They made Ava and I feel so welcome. We all felt right at home. My dog is usually a little nervous or shaky when going to a new house, but not at all at her home. My Frenchie was very well looked after. Nemesis sent great updates and photos/videos throughout the day. She followed all my feeding instructions as well. I would highly recommend Nemesis for doggy daycare, boarding, and playtime. I'll be boarding my Frenchie with her in the Fall, and scheduling doggy daycare ongoing as needed. Thank you Nemesis! So glad we found you!”
“Alissa and her family were really sweet with my puppy. She is a little anxious and takes a while to warm up to new people and they were so patient and good to her.”

Jana's love of animals really shines through! She was so patient & kind in getting to know my Frenchie named Ava, and astutely observed Ava's nervousness meeting a new sitter. She sent some great pictures of her dog Olive playing with Ava, and one cute pic of Ava chilling out. Jana provided Ava with her probiotic on time, and put all her treats back in her treat bag after they spilled out. Jana is a great sitter who I trust will give Ava everything she needs. I look forward to bringing Ava in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Riverdale on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Riverdale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 839 sitters in Riverdale, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
