“Always pleased with Jeff’s care of our Marley. Jeff accepts and tolerate’s our miniature Dachshund’s quirks and personality and we are so grateful for Jeff. He is always our number one choice 😊”
“Payton and Graham were fantastic with our dog, Indy. They have a backyard he loved playing in, but even more impressive they were able to get his halter on (he's extremely headshy) and take him on actual walks. Videos they sent showed Indy snuggling with Payton in a way he has only done with us before. Communication was excellent, and Indy clearly loved being there. Not only would we book again with Payton and Graham, I'm doing so right now!”
“Stephanie and Luis were great with my dog, Shipley. I felt like I picked the best possible spot for him to stay while I was out of town. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Cal and Kelly are amazing sitters. Bodie had a great time at their place. Lots of snuggling and playing with their two friendly dogs. We received lots of pictures and videos so always knew he was doing great. We will definitely use them again.”
“Our 13 yo pitbull loved her stay with Christian! She is very communicative, sent us photos, and made sure she got all her meds. Would leave our pup with her again.”
“Abigal was very kind with Chiquita, responsive and very communicative with pictures and daily updates on how she was doing. She accommodated a late arrival and a last minute change in pickup, and her care for my pup was visible. Great sitter and would gladly book again!”
“Cori took great care of my energetic young dog while I was gone for a few days, and he absolutely loved making friends with her dogs, playing in the yard, and snuggling. She sent tons of updates so I always knew what he was up to and how things were going.”
“My previous Rover family left the area so I reached out to Aaron and Paweena, who quickly scheduled a meet & greet and asked good questions that left me confident that the would care for my girl. They invested extra time with her to overcome initial homesickness and even let her sleep on their bed.”
“Mark and his adorable family welcomed and cared for Yukio and Pojke like one of their own! We received daily photos of our pups having THE BEST TIME, it's apparent they loved being there!! Thanks to Mark, his family and their dogs; we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying!”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Madeleine was amazing with Beigee. I could see how happy she was when I received the pictures. She was great at communicating and I would definitely recommend her. Can’t wait to use her again.”
“June is an amazing sitter. She embraced taking care of our dog who has some special needs due to his age and medical issues. She is extremely professional and communicative and made us feel at ease leaving both our pets in her care. She is a gift to this community.”
“Amani is great and such a sweet soul! She took care of our pup, Beaux, for two weeks. She sent pictures and videos which made being away from him that much easier. She also helped bring our puppy out of his shell by getting him acclimated to dog parks. Seeing our puppy and her son play together was the icing on the cake. We're so thankful for her! She has a client for life in us.”
“Fathia was wonderful with Foxy while we were out of town! She was reliable, caring, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing Foxy was in great hands. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup. We would absolutely recommend Fathia and would happily book with her again!”
“Megan is a clear and prompt communicator, and Sophie seemed to have a great time with her. Sophie doesn't always do well with other dogs, but Megan was very conscious of that. She was also comfortable administering all of Sophie's meds.”
“Meet and greet allowed us to have the pets meet and plan. Our Dogs stay was great. She fit in easily and was happy to play with their family. Pictures daily were cute. We will book again when traveling.”
“Sharmily is amazing! I have had her taking care of my cats twice and I truly appreciate her! Great communicator and my cats looked so happy!! Will have her again!!”
“Alder and Kathy were like second parents to Marley. He had an awesome time and was so happy when we picked him up. I will absolutely use their services again. Marley cannot wait until our next vacation so he can stay with you guys! Thanks for taking such good care of my baby.”

Rita was wonderful with Sunny! She was communicative, kind, and took the time to understand Sunny’s quirks and needs, which made us feel comfortable leaving her in Rita’s care. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and communication throughout the stay. We would absolutely recommend Rita and would definitely book with her again!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Paula was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! I always feel completely comfortable knowing Duchess is in such good hands while I’m away. Paula was kind, dependable, accommodating, and went above and beyond. I truly appreciated the extra care and thoughtfulness. Duchess was happy and well cared for, and that peace of mind means everything. I would absolutely book with Paula again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their fur baby! ❤️🐾
10/10! Boozy loved it, and she sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. As soon as I dropped him off, I knew he was in an amazing environment because everyone in the house started playing with him right away. Boozy also loved her dog! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Bettina and her family were amazing company for my Ozzy while I was on a short trip. My kid-loving boy got to love on her child, had some canine companionship, and came home happy and exhausted. I got regular updates and great photos. Looking forward to many more stress-free trips knowing Bettina is there to care for my boy!
Rene was wonderful and provided great care for my dog, Kolbe. She was kind, knowledgeable, professional, and warm. She provided pictures and updates each day and even arranged a meet-and-greet before Kolbe’s first stay to get to know us better and make sure she’d be a good fit. Would highly recommend! Kolbe will certainly be back in the future!
KG was amazing with our two dogs. They've come back with more training then they started with after one weekend. She gets dogs - who they are, what they care about, what's fun, what's scary, what's too much - and meets them where they are. Can't recommend enough. Big bonus is the pictures you get - you feel comfortable knowing how much fun they're having.
I highly recommend Thalia as a pet sitter. Our dog had her first pet-sitting experience with Thalia and it was a great success. Thalia is kind and easy to communicate with. Our dog was very comfortable with Thalia. I was very stressed leaving our dog for the first time and Thalia made our separation stress-free. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Riverdale Park is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $53 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 8,114 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Riverdale Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Riverdale Park can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Riverdale Park home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Riverdale Park.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Riverdale Park sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 MD 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
