“Courtney and John took such good care of our cats! They were so kind and professional we felt great about having them look after the cats. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Liz was excerpt coming over to our home each day to check in on Sophie and feed her and give her some attention. Liz was very responsive each time I reached out to her and went above and beyond in bringing our mail in and watering our plants while we were on vacation. We really appreciate her driving so far to come do home visits for our cat who gets too stressed in other people’s homes or at boarders.”
“Jayda was great with both of my dogs, they loved having her stop by while I was gone. She was great with communication, sent lots of pictures, and even cleaned up after one of the dogs destroyed a toy.”
“Aubrey was so sweet and helpful! She came twice a day to give medicine and food to our grumpy cat. Thank you Aubrey! We hope you’re available the next time we leave town.”
“Kat has been a rockstar with watching our cat. She is attentive and takes the best photos when sending us our Rover check ins. You can tell he loves when she comes over just from the photos! We look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Crowe & Taylor were excellent! They took time to meet my pet before their initial booking, as well as went out of their way to check on him when it wasn’t expected. I could not have found better pet sitters for my baby! Highly recommend to anyone- great people!”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was about 4! I have a big family with lots of aunts and uncles that rely on me to take care of their dogs while they are gone on trips. I love getting to know pets with all different personalities. I work 8-5 five days a week with rotating days. I go straight back to your home after work and am able to spend the rest of the night with your pets. I have a lunch in the middle of the work day I can check on the pets depending on distance. I am easy to reach outside of sleeping hours and can give any updates needed. I keep a close eye on your pets and keep in touch if anything seems out of the ordinary with them to take the best action.
“Becca is great! Our dogs loved spending the week with her and had no issues adjusting. She put us at ease that our dogs were well taken care of while we were away and kept us updated with pictures during the week. We will definitely be using her services in the future and recommend her to others!”
About: I really like animals, I am very patient and I have experience taking care of pets of my family, friends and now Rover!! , I have a very flexible schedule, I can do anything the pet owner needs for them. And I have a lot available days, if I am not at home because I work part time as a CNA now , my husband will be there and watch them! We have different schedules and and I am pretty much at home studying online!! Your dogs never would be alone 😊 I can work walking your pets, taking care of them in the client's home, buying and leaving things that the pet needs and any other different service you need we could talk about it.
“Super last minute back out from my neighbor and Laura was awesome! My girl looked so happy in all of the pics, got walked and taken to the park. Got back to me fast and was super communicative about everything. Definitely plan on having her come check in on my girl for the next work trip away”
“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!”
“Kerry was great with Simba and Mom! He was caring and conscientious about all aspects of their care. He kept me informed through photos and text messages after every visit.”
About: I’ve had my own, and taken care of other dogs for the last 10 years! I currently have a 4 year old Belgian Malinois. I love all dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently working weekdays full time from 8am-4:30pm. I am available after work hours, and almost always available on the weekends for pet care. I center every visit on safety, following the owners directions, and creating a positive environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have always had pets in my life. I had made sure they were properly fed in the right amount at the right times and always had a fresh bowl of water. They never go without love as well as making sure they have their space to go and do their thing. Pets will always be taken care of with me and made sure they go home happy and healthy. :) I am currently unemployed. This gives me the chance to give your furr babies even more of my full attention, care, and cuddles to your animals. If taken care of at my house, I treat them the same as if they were at your house. I make sure they are comfortable.
“Kimberly came to our apartment for drop-in checkups on my two cats for two weeks. She did a great job communicating and making sure the cats and apartment were well taken care of. She also showed that she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure they got everything they needed if necessary. We really appreciated her help and would hire her again for future help!”

I’m a returning customer! Elizabeth is amazing. So quick to reply she even accepted my last minute booking within an hour. I really appreciate the care she gives my cats (even when they’re a bit difficult sometimes). I feel really comfortable letting her do her job and don’t feel the need to supervise at all. I will re-book with her 100% ♥️
Amazing and responsive sitter, truly above and beyond. My dog had an emergency (stressed induced diarrhea) and Emma was able to bring him to the vet and take care of him while I was gone, she cleaned up after him and kept me updated the whole time. I’ve never had such a compassionate and quick to respond sitter before, you are truly getting an absolute saint if you book her! Thank you so much Emma
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 for Pet Sitting in Riverdale on Rover is $11.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,608 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riverdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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 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.
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.
