“Matthew did a good job with my cattle dog and Aussie. They can be a bit much for some people but he worked with them well. I hired him for 3 visits a day for 4 days. He kept in good communication.”
“Becca was amazing! She dropped in on my pups over the weekend and was so flexible with last-minute changes. She kept me updated after each visit, which really put my mind at ease knowing my pups were happy and cared for while I was away for long periods of time. I couldn’t have asked for better care!”
“Emma is so extremely helpful, and very thorough with taking care of our fur babies! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Emma for being extra thoughtful and going above and beyond with your care!”
“Jessica is GREAT!!! My cats are a little spicy when it comes to strangers. She was so patient and kind. One of them ended up on her lap giving her cuddles within just a few days! She was also very attentive when one of them threw up, she contacted me immediately. She also sent sooo many picture updates and it made me feel at ease knowing my furr babies had an expert sitter watching out for them. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were safe and sound.”
“She was wonderful with my four cats and handled an unexpected problem with the key without missing a beat. I’ve only lived here for four months, so it was especially reassuring to have someone so reliable and capable taking care of them. I’d definitely book her again.”
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 am very outgoing, positive and I love dogs. I am patient and caring and can't wait to help you not stress and your pup feel cared for when you are away! At the moment I am at Weber State University student-athlete. I am originally from Oregon and I miss my little beagle so much so I would love to help you with your busy schedules in any way I can and care for you dog(s). Most of the time I will be free Friday - Sunday for house sitting. For walks I am more free because I can come before, between, or even after classes and practice. I can even come let your dogs out for a potty break in between classes, whatever you need help with. I currently live in the dorms so I would have to come to your home if I am pet sitting. I am very responsible and a very hard worker. I would respect your things and only do the things you tell me and need help with. I am a very trustworthy person and very respectful so if you need any help at all of have questions feel free to reach out.
About: I have had the pleasure of growing up with multiple dog, cats, and other animals growing up and know that animals are more than pets, they’re family! I am a reliable person who will give the best care and attention to your pet while they are away from home. I currently have a wonderful lab/mix named Badger, who is very loving and gets along well with all dogs and cats. He enjoys playing and running around with other dogs, so he is going to enjoy this experience as much as I will. I work full time so I’m available for boarding on weekends since that is when I spend most my time at home. However, I don’t mind boarding during the week if your pet is okay with waiting 4 hours alone. I have a fully fenced 2,500 sqft lawn for your dog to roam and play. His would-be roommate (my dog) is an 8-year-old lab mix, who’s very well-mannered, neutered, and up-to-date on all his vaccinations. I do no not crate unless the owner requests for pups to be crated.
“We loved having Megan care for our fur baby! We felt very confident leaving her in charge to provide essential care, as well as love and affection. We will definitely be booking with Megan again in the future.”
“Brandi was amazing to work with. She communicated with me from the very beginning, asked thoughtful questions at our meet and greet, and provided my dog with great care. I never worried while I was away from home. This was my first time using Rover. If it's as easy as Brandi makes it, I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I’ve booked with them multiple times now, and they’re always amazing. Incredibly caring with my cat and follow all of my instructions perfectly, which gives me so much peace of mind. They’re also very thoughtful and kind with Miko, and it really shows -he genuinely enjoys their visits. I also love the pictures I receive, they make me feel so connected while I’m away. Thank you for keeping him happy!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I provide dependable, loving care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My services include feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication if needed, cleaning up after pets, and following each pet’s individual routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making their health, happiness, and well-being my top priorities while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I prioritize consistency and make sure every pet receives the care, affection, and routine they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owner is away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
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 my families dogs for four years. I have dog- sat countless family friends pets. I have worked with puppies and with older dogs. I am currently in college looking for a part- time job along with my other job. I am free normally every morning and night depending on my work schedule. I make sure they are always being watched. I take my dog out every couple hours. Whenever he needs. I always make sure they are happy and comfortable.
About: Walking is one of my favorite pastimes, I just like having company along for it. That same company is also welcome for cuddle time if they are into that kind of thing. We live in a townhouse with a small yard, but pets are never left outside alone or off leash. Ever!!! Safety and supervision are always my priority. I’m trained to communicate clearly and professionally with pet parents and to follow whatever boundaries you set for your pet. I adjust quickly to each animal’s personality and needs instead of treating them like they are all the same. I’m also mindful about reinforcing respectful boundaries with children and other pets when needed. I really see pets as individuals with their own personalities, and I treat them that way from the start. I work full time from home and my husband is unable to work. We are literally always home!! Between the two of us and our children your puppers will be the happiest lil doggo!! Your pet will be treated with the love, care, and attention I give my own. They will be part of the family with plenty of playtime and cuddles with TONS of beds to choose from.
About: Hi, I’m Rebecca! I’ve been caring for animals for nearly 30 years and working professionally with them for over 12 years through rescue, boarding, training, and rehabilitation. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love what I do. Every pet that stays with me is treated with the same care and attention I give my own! I hold advanced dog training and animal behavior certifications, and I’m also certified in Animal CPR and First Aid, so your pup(s) will be in experienced, loving, and capable hands! Over the years I’ve worked with many different breeds and personalities, and I understand that every dog adjusts differently when away from home. Some dogs want to play all day, while others just want a quiet place to relax, and I do my best to make sure each dog feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I also have plenty of experience providing routine care and medications when needed, including pills, injections, and topical treatments. If your dog has special care instructions, I’m happy to follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel right at home. Dogs staying with me enjoy a large, fully fenced yard, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention and cuddles throughout their stay. Dogs go outside about once per hour while I'm home, and I return every 2–3 hours when I need to step out. My two very friendly dogs and four animal LOVING kids (9, 13, 14, and 16) help make sure visiting pets get plenty of playtime, affection, and mental stimulation, while still maintaining calm areas for your pups to have a comfortable place to decompress and relax. In addition to boarding, I also offer training services and yard cleanup services if you're interested. Please feel free to reach out for more information or a quote. I’m also happy to care for reptiles, birds, and other small animals as well. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full time in a flexible position that allows me to work from home a good majority of the time, or return home as needed while I am away. My job is only about 5 minutes away, and on days I’m away I come home every 2–3 hours to check on/let out the animals. I also have cameras in the home so I can keep an eye on everyone, and I’m able to return home quickly if anything needs my attention. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play during their stay. There’s plenty of room for exercise, and I keep toys in the yard so dogs always have something fun to do. The yard is also covered by security cameras, so I can keep a watchful eye on everyone even if I step inside for a moment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
Danii is amazing! This is the 2nd time we have used her and we will always use her to watch our pups. She is great with the pups and is great at communicating and taking pictures. I have nothing but great things to say and I highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to trust with their furry family members!
Brandi was amazing to work with. She communicated with me from the very beginning, asked thoughtful questions at our meet and greet, and provided my dog with great care. I never worried while I was away from home. This was my first time using Rover. If it's as easy as Brandi makes it, I'll definitely be booking with her again!
Aubrey was an amazing sitter. I contacted her with a last minute request to take care of my cat for a week, and she responded immediately. This was the longest I'd been away from my clingy kitty, but Aubrey was so nice and accommodating that I rested easy knowing Meatball was in great hands. Loved getting funny updates with cute photos/videos each visit. I'll definitely book with her again!
Brenda is amazing! She provides great updates and the cutest photos of our pups! We appreciate her attention to detail, as well as going the extra mile and cleaning up after our crazy little dogs when they are being naughty 😂 She’s super knowledgeable and it’s clear she’s got years of experience working with animals. Thank you Brenda, you are the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Riverdale is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,550 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverdale. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
