“First time I used Rover for my precious puppy. Allison was wonderful! I felt good knowing that my Rio was in good hands. Her daughters were also great with Rio. I will definitely use Allison in the future?”
About: What makes me different is my hands on experience with animals of all ages and temperaments from playful puppies to wise senior pets. Whether it’s training young pets in basic commands, providing gentle senior care, or simply giving your furry friend a safe and loving environment, I tailor my approach to meet their needs. Plus, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities! I’m currently a college student half the day so I can have fun with your furry friends when you need me, I’m available on the weekends and most mornings on the weekdays I have a fence yard so your dog/dogs can play outside and for cats I have two cats, so friendly, I have toys for them too
About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I have two chihuahuas that are 10 and 11 years old. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks old and they are my babies. They are so spoiled and loved and my whole world. I’m currently taking a break from my full time job. My day depends on what I have scheduled, it’s very fluid and open. I start my day by scooping the cat litter box, letting my dogs outside to potty, taking care of and feeding my beta fish, opening windows and watering plants, and then making meals for my two cats and two dogs. I am at home majority of my day and spend a lot of time with my animals. I walk my two dogs everyday and make them meals. I brush my two cats everyday and give them enrichment activities. I spend the day cuddling with my dogs too. At my clients home, I would follow the directions provided to me as well as using my own discretion when necessary to provide the ultimate care. Your pets will be treated and loved like they are my own.
“My elderly dog Charlie spent the day with Steven and had a wonderful time. Steven took excellent care of Charlie, gave him treats, and made sure all of his needs were met. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in kind and caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Always a pleasure to work with Ana! Onyx came back super excited and happy! I can tell he had the best day at daycare! He was playing so much, the came home and went straight to sleep! Lol! Thank you again Ana!”
“Stephanie is a complete gem! She and her beautiful family were absolutely wonderful! The children were so gentle, calm, respectful, and VERY accustomed to being around animals, dogs in particular. We (and Piper) were put at ease immediately. We will certainly be scheduling with her again! ♥️”
“This is my first time using Rover. Hortensia arranged a meeting a few days prior to us entrusting our dog, Honey, to her care. During this meeting, she showed us her home and yard, where the dogs typically relax. Honey quickly settled in and appeared quite comfortable. Hortensia provided excellent care for Honey and followed all the instructions we provided. We will most certainly reach out to her again for future pet care needs for Honey. Thank you Hortensia!”
“It was the first time using this service both Gerald and Debbie were so welcoming! Chloe was a first time visitor and she made herself right at home. We are looking forward to another visit soon. If we could give a ten star rating we would!!! A huge hug to Baloo for being such a gentle giant with Chloe, I hope the two of them become besties over time!!!”
“It was my 1st time leaving my dog with anyone.i was to find a sitter the morning I was needing to drop him off that same afternoon she had no problem and was more then I was expecting. they made me feel so comfortable and good about leaving him with Rochelle and her family. When I picked him up he looked so happy and I heard nothing but how much they enjoyed him. I will forsure use them again and recommend them to everyone.”
“Thank you Susan, Miguel, and family. They were incredible and going above and beyond. We had a meet and greet the day before - mostly to chat about Maya and her tendencies. Susan is very experienced with dogs and knows how to adjust with each dog. I honestly thought Maya not eating while at a Rover’s was unusual behavior but she has observed that behavior with other dogs and has ideas on how to get her to eat. Susan came to the car to help carry items and she and Miguel helped us to the car bc it was dark outside. They are very considerate and genuine people. I liked there’s a pen to prevent Maya from running out the front door. They are experienced Rovers and really have considered everything. I also loved all the photos. They are studio quality. Susan is also very responsive. We’ll definitely book with Susan and Miguel again.”
“Alessandra took great care of my dog while I was at work today. I appreciated her flexibility when I booked on short notice. I have confidence Sansa will be well taken care of when she stays with her during our upcoming vacation.”
“Kristine was very sweet to Maya. She made sure to ask questions first time. She let her warm up to her. Maya was on her lap within 10 minutes. A gate was set up at the door, per our request.”
About: As a sitter/walker I combine reliability, hands-on experience, and a genuine commitment to each dog’s/cat’s individual needs. I have experience training puppies, including reinforcing basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and consistent routines that support positive behavior development. I have also worked with senior dogs and understand the additional patience, attentiveness, and comfort focused care they require. I am comfortable administering medication and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and safe. As a college student working part-time, I bring strong time management skills, responsibility, and dedication to every booking, treating each pet with the same level of care and consistency I would expect for my own. I am a student at Westmont College located in Montecito, CA but currently on summer break. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to fill that time enjoying time and taking care of your animals! My pets are very cared for, they are treated like family because they are. You can trust that I will give every and any animal on my care the utmost respect and love, and I will always let owners know if I notice anything out of the ordinary.

Jori was AMAZING! When I dropped Enzo off he felt right at home. Her house is fully equipped for dogs. She was so sweet and even sent me off with a coffee delicious coffee to go. She kept me updated all day and sent me pictures. When I picked Enzo up she had him ready to go and offered my kids homemade cookies. I can tell he had a great time because now he keeps going to the front door waiting for me to take him back to her house! I would definitely recommend her and will be happy to bring Enzo back to play at Jori’s house again sometime!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Riverdale Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 276 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Riverdale Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Park 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 CA 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 276 sitters in Riverdale Park, 88% 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.
