“Jeff is my preferred sitter for Gia. This is a safe and loving home away from home. Gia is a shy dog and a finicky eater. Jeff takes the time to ensure that she is eating well and entertained while she is there. He provides regular and sends pictures throughout her stay. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you to Nicole for taking such good care of Shadow. She was very consistent in her updates and let me know how much fun he was having in the backyard. Shadow definitely appreciate the open space to run around and be a happy puppy! Would highly recommend Nicole’s services!!!”
“Tabatha is a great sitter and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I have a shy cat, Pixie, who is currently mid-treatment requiring daily medication not an easy ask for any sitter. Tabatha handled it all with so much patience and care. She took the time to earn Pixie's trust, gave me daily updates so I never had to wonder how things were going, and closely monitored her eating and litter box habits throughout my trip. Knowing someone was paying that level of attention gave me genuine peace of mind. Her sweet cat Gracie was a bonus, such a gentle companion in the home. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Tabatha is your person. Absolutely will be booking again!”
“We were in a bit of a jam finding someone to watch our pup Stella ahead of our vacation, and we're so happy we found Pamela! Stella had a great time running in the yard, snuggling, and playing with dog friends. We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good, caring hands. We will for sure use Pamela again the next time Stella needs to go to puppy sleep away camp!”
“Crystal is amazing! She made sure from our zoom meeting to the pick up of my puppy, that we communicated well & that my puppy Nami was safe and happy! I appreciate her attentiveness to Nami, she sent daily updates and pics! I will definitely use her services again! Thanks Crystal!”
“Colleen took wonderful care of our cockapoo for 3 days. She sent photos several times and provided photos. She also was able to give some eyedrops several times per day that our dog required. My dog seemed content and well cared for. Thank you.”
“Tasha is a great sitter, she cared for my 2 babies while I was out of the country. She keeps me updated every day on how they're doing and she provides multiple photos. My babies love her. Keep up the good work.”
“She was great with Rock as she also was very patient with us being delayed by flights. He looked happy over there and well taken care of. Will definitely book again”
“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!”
“This was my second time leaving my rescue dog, Tao, with Rouday, and both experiences have been great. He was understanding of Tao's occasional timidity after being bounced between multiple shelters as a puppy. I also appreciate that he makes dog sitting a family affair, which has been great for Tao's socialization. I'd definitely recommend Rouday to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
“McKinley was the best sitter we could’ve had! She was able to accommodate to a last minute request. She sent frequent updates and my pup felt so comfortable in her house with her other pets. 10/10 best sitter in the area!”
“Christin and James were amazing !! My dog Jade loved every minute. They are extremely communicative and provided numerous updates. I know Jade cannot wait to come back and visit !”
“I’d definitely book with Christian again. She took great care of my dog. Sent pictures everyday and was very attentive during my dog’s stay. Sometimes with other Rover stays, my dog acts differently or shy for a few days. My dog was in perfect spirits after her stay with Christian.”
“Cal & Kelly were so great with Mabel. I was impressed by how they managed the dynamics between the fellow boarding dogs and loved getting pics and videos every day. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our family vacation without worrying about our dog as it was very clear she was well cared for and happy. Thank you, Cal and Kelly!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy to have come across this site and even happier to have come across Ms. Estela. We had an absolute wonderful experience with her. From the beginning she was very friendly, helpful, and communicative. She provided updates and daily pictures of Santy and kept us informed of his well being. As much as we were anxious leaving our dog behind for few days, she made us feel comfortable that he was in good hands. There are no words that could describe my gratitude for Estela’s service. I would definitely be using her service in the near future and 100% recommend her to anyone that needs a loving animal care taker.”
“Incredible! From the first moment, I knew my pup was safe and loved on. Abigail consistently communicated how he was doing and sent pictures that made my day every day! I highly recommend her services. I have booked with Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.”
“As always -- nothing but top-notch TLC for Ella when she stays with Alex and Daniel! We couldn't be luckier to be able to rely on them to keep our girl happy, healthy, and loved while we're away.”
“Austin and Majid have watched my dog 3 times and been soooo wonderful. They are loving and considerate of her, and they kept me updated! My dog has some anxiety and behavior challenges, and they were very understanding and patient. Highly recommend!”
“Great photos of our elderly cat, relaxing, cuddling, and enjoying her pampered visit. Sonya went above and beyond to swing by our house and pick up medicine we'd forgotten. Great peace of mind knowing Maya was in safe, capable hands!”
“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.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Riverdale Park is $50

This is our second time with Rita and nothing but GREAT things to say. Not only does she prioritize my baby’s needs but also making us parents feel comfortable throughout the stay. My baby was sick a few days prior to his stay and she made sure to accommodate so he could get back healthy. The communication is always on point. We will continue to book with Rita!
We booked with Pamela while we were in town visiting for America 250. She took great care of Riley and it was comforting to know he would be safe and well taken care of during all the fireworks. He did well and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pamela for anyone who needs a sitter in the DC area.
Emma is a great dog sitter. She took care of my dogs carefully and sincerely. I asked her services for my vacation and my whole trip schedule was constantly changed because of the weather in the destination. Emma was always responded timely and flexible. She send me pictures everyday and that made me relieved while I was away from my dogs. Thank you Emma!
Rashad took incredible care of my dog, Kobe, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. He kept me updated, made sure Kobe got plenty of attention, exercise, and love, and treated him like he was part of their own family. When I picked him up, Kobe was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog owner, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your pup is safe and genuinely cared for while you're away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and who truly loves dogs, I would absolutely recommend Rashad. I'll definitely be booking with them again. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Kobe!
I'm so grateful for a second wonderful time with Paula with Scout. He was in such great hands that his vacay was probably more amazing than mine. Loved on, squirrel shouts, and all the belly rubs and hugs a pup could want. Thank you, Paula, for the regular updates, photos that both helped me both smile and know he was in great hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Riverdale Park on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,102 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Riverdale Park sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Riverdale Park landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Riverdale Park home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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 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.
