About: Hi there, I am a lifelong dog owner; I am experienced and caring. I love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I've never met a dog who didn't like me! I'm never bored as long as there's a dog nearby :) I'm also a Stony Brook University student with a flexible schedule and my own reliable transportation. I'll take great care of your dog(s) and your home. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet... My other job is seasonal landscaping, however my boss is very flexible and lenient when it comes to my Rover job. My landscaping will never interfere with my care for your pet. At my client's home your pet's safety and wellbeing is always my priority. If I have any questions I will always ask the pet owner and follow whatever schedule and instructions they have laid out.

About: I have had a dog at home all my life and have been volunteering at animal shelters for the past 4 years where I would walk dogs and socialize cats and dogs. I am a college student and have a completely free schedule over the summer. I can come on same day notice and can stay over night. I can’t offer my home for boarding but I can stay over at your house and am responsible and have lived alone and can clean do laundry and other tasks to keep the home clean for when you return. I can also come over and bring your dog out for walks.
“Ashley was very knowledgeable and accommodating with my current multidog pack dynamic issues. She was very understanding of my request for parallel walking. She worked well with my new rescue and gave me a few pointers to help train her. Looking forward to working together again.”
“James was a great fit for Ivy. She like him immediately. He is prompt, goes above and beyond and my pup truly enjoyed the midday walks which worked well for my schedule that week. Would highly recommend!”


“Our pup loves Jeff. We had Jeff give Cookie a walk while we were out for the day. He arrived at our home at the time requested and sent us pictures of the walk. It gave us the freedom to stay out and not rush home knowing Cookie was in good hands!”

“Risa is very reliable and wonderful with my dog. She follows all my directions for my dog. She takes initiative with working on commands, playing with her and walking her. My dog looks forward to seeing her. Highly recommend!”


“Paula was the best! We booked her to watch our two dogs aged 8 and 1/2. She made sure they got a nice walk, sent pictures each time and played with them every time she dropped by. We would book her again”

About: Loving pet parents who will take special care of your pets, as if they were their own. Daily walks on the beach outside will give your pet a special feeling of freedom. My wife and I have grown up with animals and are willing to board all different types. We have a male Bernese Mountain dog and female Newfoundland. We also have a female domestic long haired car and 2 rabbits. We have a 4 bedroom home where your pets will have extra space, close to an acre of property that is completely fenced in. Right outside our backyard is the bay with a private beach where we like to go for daily walks, we are sure your dogs would love the bay breeze as well. Thanks for learning about us. I work remotely so I am constantly around to stick to your pets routine. Thank you again for taking the time to review our details. I treat all animals as I treat my own, like family. Your pets will have the best of care and full attention while staying with us.

About: Growing up, my parents used caring for our two dogs as a way to teach me responsibility — and I ended up falling in love with the process itself. Animals are a genuine passion of mine, and I adapt my care style to fit each pet, whether they’re a high-energy puppy or a slower-paced senior. I love animals of any age, breed, or size. I am currently working a remote job over the summer that is incredibly flexible. I can fit pet care into any part of my day for any amount of time. I have a fenced yard and no pets of my own, so I can dedicate all my time and attention to your animals. I am adaptable and am ready to listen and adjust to your needs and preferences.
About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care tailored to each dog’s needs. I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication, so pet parents feel fully confident while they’re away. I work three days a week at my primary job, which gives me ample flexibility to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. On my days off, I’m available for walks and/or drop-ins. I offer both dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, designed to keep your pets happy, active, and comfortable in their own environment. I treat each pet like my own and follow your instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress while you’re away.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including my own dog and the pets of friends and neighbors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel loved. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship. As an EMT, I am calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and committed to the safety and well-being of every animal. I currently work part-time as an EMT, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or last-minute assistance, I will do my best to provide dependable and consistent care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs they may have. In your home, I will follow all care instructions carefully and keep your pet’s environment clean, secure, and stress-free.
“As a first time puppy owner, I have been so anxious about the thought of leaving my puppy home during the day! Evelyn came to walk and play with our puppy Miley today and I could not be happier with how amazing the experience was! Evelyn met Miley the night before and spent some time with her during the scheduled window. She was very communicative right off the bat and sent pictures and a nice update at the end of the visit. I have peace of mind knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Can’t wait to have you again - thank you Evelyn!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,438 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Riverside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Riverside. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Riverside.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverside. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
