“Judy was extremely responsive and helpful. Unfortunately, we needed to cancel en route to her home but we were very appreciative of her understanding and consideration. We will reschedule with her when the need arises in the future.”
About: I am a doting dog-mom to an anxious, rescue shih-tzu mix, and I’ve had dogs my whole life! Whether your dog is big or small, great on a leash or not, I am happy to spend time with them and attend to their individual needs! I am currently between jobs and I have a car, so I can come to your home with flexibility and ease! I am available most days after 10am! I am happy to walk your dog, spend quality time with them in the home, or play with them in the yard! I can also feed them and give medication or treats as needed!
“We needed someone to take care of our buddy while we were in town for an engagement party. Anner was quick to respond and we felt very comfortable leaving Jackson with him! Highly recommend him and would use his service again.”
“Daniela was great with my pup! She asked great questions that made me feel confident that he would be safe and comfortable with her. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Wendy is always quick to respond to messages and made things convenient for me by offering to pick up and drop off. She is also flexible with pickup/drop off times, which I appreciate. My dog had a great day in her care!”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter outside of family or friends our dog was already familiar with. We are preparing her for a longer trip we will need to take. Juan was our first choice, and our dog seemed quite comfortable with the experience. It was great that his wife and son were there to greet us and our dog. We think the "family" environment is positive for helping our dog feel at ease. The pictures Juan sent very few hours were quite thoughtful.”
“They are very professional and kind people. My dog had a great time with them! They paid attention to every detail, so I didn't have to worry at all about leaving my dog with them.”
“We love Yenis!! I couldn’t have asked for a better day care visit with her! She is so caring and attentive I felt so comfortable knowing she was going to give our 4 month old pup the same amount of love and care that we would! We can’t wait for our next daycare stay with her and Milo!”
“Karen accepted a last minute request to care for my dog reactive dog for a day. She was lovely and attentive and I am truly grateful for the care she showed my pup. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I love all animals and my pets are my kids! I left the corporate world in January 2019 to do what I love, which is caring for and spending time with animals! My schedule is extremely flexible. I can go to your home for walks, feeding, playtime and administering meds. I work weekends and well as weekdays. Overnights would need to be at my home, because I have a a 6 year old Shihpoo who is the sweetest dog you could ever meet! I live in a dog friendly apartment complex in the Harbor Point section of Stamford. There are three nearby dog parks and plenty of sidewalks and safe potty areas right outside my building. I’m very active and love to go on long walks. My apartment is spotless and always safe for dogs. I am very careful about leaving anything around that would harm them. In addition to the insurance covered by Rover, I have my own liability insurance and am bonded as well.
“First time trying Rover. Yuri was great. Great communication all throughout. She had another dog over and she asked if it was okay before accepting the booking. She sent pictures and videos during playtime and walks. I Will definitely use again!”
“My dog is an elderly dog with pretty bad anxiety, so I was relieved when Grace and Luis said they could handle him. He’s been there quite a few times now and they really seem to get along! Definitely recommend”
“Another great stay with Rafealina. It is so great to know I have such a caring person to leave my little guy with. Rafealina is very professional and communicative during the stay.”

Daniela is so great. She got along with Bammie on the first day. She sent frequent updates of our pup enjoying his stay. She is also very flexible with our schedule. We had a church event that finished a little late and she was still able to accomodate. 100% recommend and will schedule her with Bammie again.

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 Riverside 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 CT 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 7,700 sitters in Riverside, 87% 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.
