“Emily is so great! It was our first time boarding and she made our dog so comfortable and happy, and kept us reassured with great care and updates. She accommodated anything that our dog needed. I would 100% recommend her, and we will use her for future stays!”
“Our dog is pretty shy and really struggles to warm up to strangers and Kelsea was really patient with him and he seemed to be taken care of and happy when we picked him up.”
“Macie did a wonderful job taking care of Moose.💕 She sent lots of photos to show how well he was doing, and made me feel like he was being taken care of really well. We will be working with Macie again!”
“I can not say enough good about Becca!! Our dog loves staying at her house and was so excited to go back for his second stay. I booked last minute because we had an out-of-town emergency, and she was so accommodating. Thank you so much!”
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.
“Michael and Alex were amazing taking take of our pup. Clearly very experienced. Michael was very fast in communication. I appreciated the picture updates we got during Apolo’s stay. They were very accommodating in adjusting pick up time when our flight got delayed. Overall very positive experience”
“Kristen was wonderful to work with. She took care of our older dog who has some anxieties and was great to check-in and give updates while we were gone. Will definitely use again!”
“Antoinette took such great care of our dog during a weekend that we left town. Would definitely recommend her to anyone on rover. She sent lots of photos of our dog, and we felt like she was in really good hands👍”
“Wonderful experience. Mitchell was really flexible with us and took great care of our GSD. He has a beautiful yard and a friendly dog of his own . I feel a new freedom knowing I can leave my dog in a home environment instead of a kennel.”
“Allison and Sloan took great care of our senior pup for two weeks. He went on walks, hikes, and got to play tug. They sent us many photos and were always available if we wanted to check up on him. I could tell he was very comfortable and given the attention he needed while we were away. They gave him his medications and made sure he didn't over exert himself with his arthritis and joint issues. We were very pleased with his care and know that he was well loved while we were gone.”
“Cody and Tia were great! Super responsive and sent me photos and videos throughout the day so I knew my pup was being well taken care of. He came home tired and happy and I will definitely be using them for any future dog sitting needs.”
“This amazing family took such great care of my 7 month old puppy! She kept in touch with pics and video and made me feel so comfortable with being away from her. Thank you Elise!”
“My dog had a grande time with them! They took him on daily walks and played his favorite game (fetch) every chance they got. They made sure to send daily pictures and updates. They took amazing care of my baby. Would highly recommend them!”
“Casey is an amazing pet sitter. Our dog is always so happy and well behaved when we get him back. You can tell he feels loved while at Casey’s house. He even came back groomed with clean teeth! This was not something we expected. I would recommend Casey and her family to anyone who needs pet sitting.”
“Cassie and her family were absolutely amazing to my Zoë! I got daily updates with pictures and videos that made me feel so comforted while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone! Their dog, Dublin, was also the best playmate for my girl. The pups got along great and I know she was so so happy during her stay. Cassie was also very flexible while I had multiple flight delays and kept Zoë safe and happy until I could get there. I’d book with this lovely family again in a heartbeat☺️”
“It was my first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Angelia took amazing care of Piper and kept me at ease the whole time. I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend her!”
“Daisy really liked staying with Dashia. She was excited to see me when I picked her up but day after she has a bit sadness from missing her new dog friends and humans. Dashia was very accommodating with my flight situation and I appreciate her understanding. She did a great job with Daisy.”
“Tania was an awesome dog sitter for our 6 month old puppy. She sent updates with pics and videos, and was careful to keep her training routine. Our dog had so much fun there she wanted to stay and play. We will be using Tania again!”

We got lots of pictures and updates throughout my pups' stay with Susie. When i picked them up, they didnt seem stressed, dirty/stinky, deprived of love and attention. Susie was very aware and cautious of my one dog's bee allergy. I definitely felt comfortable with her care of my pups
Sandy is very personable and knowledgeable about dogs. Since our first meeting, she has provided info about how she cares for dogs, her own as well as others. Cooper liked Sandy & her home and yard right away. He was happy to leave with her and happy to come home. She was kind and understanding about the nervous peedles. Sandy sent videos showing Cooper having fun running, and playing with a dog she provides daycare for which I appreciated. I provided Cooper's food, but when he charmed her into giving a little more rice with carrots and green beans, she cooked more for him. Will definitely ask Sandy and Chris to take care of Cooper again.
Chaylee was wonderful. This was our first time ever boarding or having someone watch our dog that wasn’t a family member. She was extremely kind, very responsive, sent many photos that honestly helped with the anxious feeling of our Ghost being in a new place. It was very much a new happy place. Truly she deeply cares for pets and is just a kind and sweet soul. Thank you very much

There are 1,079 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riverdale. About 93% of Riverdale sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
