“Chad and his wife were wonderful carers for my dog! She experienced some GI issues while staying with them and they made appropriate modifications to her diet and offered helpful tips.”
“I was nervous about leaving Chilson since we only adopted him 3 months ago and he’s only just begun to feel at home with us. Haydenn had his heart when they first met and Chilson warmed right up! Was happy and content when I picked him up and I hope to ask Haydenn to watch him again next time we’re in DC.”
“Mo had so much fun staying with Malvi, Andrej, and Max for a week! Mo is a high energy dog, and they always make sure he gets enough attention and playtime in the backyard. They are very communicative and sent so many great pictures throughout his stay - we’ll continue booking Mo’s boarding here whenever they’re available!”
About: I’ve had 7 dogs over the last 24 years, two lived to be 18 and 19 yrs old. I was known for many years as the Brookland Dog Lady. This is the only time in my adult life that I have only one dog. I currently have one 2-year-old Cockapoo named Peaches. Peaches loves most dogs and people and is generally confident and submissive. She’s very good with large, young, and old dogs alike. My house is fairly quiet. Over my 24 years of experience with my own dogs and watching friends dogs, I have dealt with just about every health problem and ailment. I am experienced with puppies, seniors, providing insulin, doggie diapers, prescriptions and just about anything else you can think of. I love walking dogs through my neighborhood. I have a fully fenced backyard as well. I work primarily from home so I can provide a lot of attention and supervision. They are like children to me. I work from home so I’m never gone for more than a few hours. My daily schedule starts with breakfast for me and my dog, Peaches. I then take her out immediately to the backyard for a potty break. I then get ready for my day and work from home. I walk my dog in the afternoon every day with additional yard breaks throughout the day. We often stop to play with other dog friends along the way. I can do a second walk each day if needed. I feed her again around 6pm. I let her out again in the yard before bed. They would sleep in my bedroom at night - either on the floor in a dog bed or in bed with Peaches and me. I do have a doggy door that she can use as needed, but I do go out with her whenever she goes outside. I have a 7 ft wooden fence around my yard. I also have a gate across my front porch so that if any dog were to get out of the front door, they would not be able to get off the porch. Dogs are always leashed when outside of my yard. I have watched and cared for many dogs for my friends, family and neighbors over the years. I have also been "dogmother" (designated in the will to care for a dog if anything had happened to their human) by several friends and family.
“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.”
“Chloe and her husband were really great sitters..Bella had a wonderful time with them and we got pics and updates of Bella regularly. We are so thankful that Bella got to have fun while we were away.”
“Our dog had a great stay. He was well cared for and had ample play time with other dogs and walks to the park. Videos throughout the day were provided to let us know he was doing great. He also was on special diet and takes medication, both were not a problem and able to continue during his stay.”
“Austin & Majid were great Rovers for Hercules. They were very communicative and ensured Hercules was well looked after. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Diego met with us for meet & greet & when we dropped off Totoro (5yo Pug; partially blind), we went over details of his stay & T’s routine. Detailed & kept us updated with frequent pics & videos, highly recommend!”
“My first time using this app and I lucked out. Excellent fur baby sitter, felt comfortable leaving my dog there. She was able to accomodate super last minute and for an entire week. Very friendly, great communication with updates and pictures.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“We’ve been using Nadia’s dog sitting services repeatedly and couldn’t be happier. Our dog is always well cared for, and Nadia goes above and beyond when it comes to communication and accommodating our needs. We’ll continue booking with her and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!”
“Snickers loves hanging out with Chris and his dog Chester! Chris is very attentive and very accommodating and has a very palpable love for dogs 🐶 He has my highest recommendation.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”

Fany was an amazing sitter! She sent picture updates and was patient and understanding to their anxiety when I had to leave them. She also left a cute gift of treats for the boys! Her attention to detail and love of dogs was felt and surely any puppy will feel right at home!
Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of Simba while I was away! I truly appreciate the care and attention you gave him. From all the pictures you sent, I could tell that Simba was very comfortable, relaxed, and happy with you. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in a safe and caring environment and enjoying himself while I was away. Thank you again for making Simba feel so welcome and well cared for. I would definitely use you again and would happily recommend you to others looking for someone they can trust with their dog. Thanks again for taking such great care of my Simba! 🐾❤️ Karla
Mike was great! He was very responsive, sent regular updates, and was super accommodating when I had some last-minute schedule changes. Most importantly, he made my dog feel comfortable and right at home, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated how easy and stress-free he made the whole experience. I also loved that he boarded my dog by himself which can be hard to find sometimes. I’ll definitely be booking with Mike again!
Absolute lifesaver! Aniya saved the day by stepping in for a last-minute request and took absolute best care of Bruno. Very responsive, attentive and clearly loves animals. Came home to a happy dog. Couldn't ask for a better sitter—10/10 recommendation! Thank you!!!
Dear Reeda - thank you so much for taking care of our Percy! He was so happy being at your home under your care, thank you again for being so kind and caring towards our Percy.

There are 8,255 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riverdale Park. About 91% of Riverdale Park sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
