“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
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!
“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.”
“Jessica is AMAZING! This is the 2nd time I've booked with her. She is so good with our puppy, Lady. Jessica is really good at sending updates and pictures. I know that Lady is in really good hands whenever we book with Jessica!”
“Alissa took great care of my dog! She came home tired and happy. She has a great set up and awesome support! Definitely recommend Alissa if you need an engaging sitter who gets dogs.”
“Becca and family were awesome!! Beaux came home a happy dog. They sent several pics of him during his overnight stay. He looked comfortable and happy in their home. Thank you, we will definitely be using Becca as doggy daycare in the future. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
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”
“Thank you for the great doggy daycare this week while I was out of town! Our dog got excited whenever my husband drove up to her house each morning. He leaves happy and tired from a day of playing and being loved on. Thank you Kyla for taking care of our baby!”
“Rachella was terrific. I was in town for the day and she was so great and flexible. She had a great mix of a couple small dogs and they seemed to have a great time. She sent pictures and video while I was away. She was easy to contact with pick up times and easy to text with anytime through the arrangements. My little guy seemed like he had a great time as he was completely tucked out. I come into her town from time to time and I will definitely contact her again during my next visit.”
About: I have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes.

Im available for long term care or even short daily visits whichever your schedule requires. I live on a 1/3 acre property with a large back yard as well as private space in my house for pets that prefer to be alone. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Riverdale on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of September 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, 87% 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.
