“I could not have asked for a better person to dogsit for my girl. Daisy took to Shakira immediately, and I could tell from the onset that Shakira is an incredibly caring and responsible sitter. Shakira sent me many updates throughout the weekend, and she went above and beyond to make sure Daisy was taken care of and felt comfortable, even with being in a new home and with new people. I swear, my dog might have had more fun on her "vacation" with than I did 😂 (Shakira even washed Daisy's harness and leash for me..I had taken Daisy swimming earlier in the week and hadn't gotten the chance to do so myself.) I will go back to her in a heartbeat next time I have to go somewhere without my pup ❤️”
About: 🐶 NO RESIDENT ANIMALS: Your pup gets to be the dog of the house during their stay. 🐾 ONE FAMILY AT A TIME: No unfamiliar boarding dogs competing for attention. 💻 WORK-FROM-HOME CARE: Your dog has plenty of company and attention throughout the day. 🌳 FULLY FENCED YARD: Easy, frequent outdoor time in addition to walks. 🏡 FREE ROAMING: Your dog lives alongside us, not kenneled or isolated. ❤️ FAMILY ENVIRONMENT: Walks, playtime, couch cuddles, and everyday family life. 🐕 THEIR ROUTINE, OUR PRIORITY: We follow their normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and activity schedule as closely as possible. 📸 PLENTY OF UPDATES: Photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and comfortable. ✨ PERSONALIZED CARE: Their stay is tailored to their personality, energy level, and preferences. We're a dog-loving family of four with years of experience owning and caring for dogs. Both my husband and I grew up with family dogs, and we had our own beloved dog, Buddha, for many years before he passed away in 2021. He is one of the dogs you see pictured in our uploaded photos (the others are rover dogs we’ve hosted). We still miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to welcome your pup into our home and give them all the love and attention we'd give our own. ❤️🐾 We currently have no pets and only accept one dog at a time, which means your dog gets to be the center of attention while they're here! Our two school-aged kids absolutely love dogs and are excited to be involved with age-appropriate things like supervised play, filling water bowls, and joining us for walks. Mom and Dad are always the primary caregivers and responsible for all aspects of your dog's care and safety. Having been dog owners ourselves, we understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. We're happy to follow your dog's normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, favorite toys, sleeping arrangements, and whatever helps them feel comfortable and at home. We also know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. You can expect plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and getting lots of affection. Because we have children, we only accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable around kids, reliably house-trained, and have no history of aggression. Whenever possible, we'd also love to do a quick meet-and-greet or video intro before your dog's first stay to make sure we're a great fit for one another. We want you to enjoy your time away without worrying, and for your dog to feel like they're part of our family while they're here. ❤️🐶 I work from home every day, so having a pup here fits naturally into our daily routine and means they'll have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and walks around my work schedule, and they'll have someone nearby for most of the day. When the kids get home from school/camp, there are two more very enthusiastic dog lovers ready to give them even more attention! We're happy to follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, potty, and sleep schedule as closely as possible so their stay feels comfortable and familiar. We currently have no pets of our own and only accept one dog at a time, so your pup gets lots of individual attention and won't need to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. We know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy and doing well while you’re away. During each stay, we’ll send you plenty of photos and videos so you can see how your dog is settling in and enjoying their time with us. We’ll also keep you updated on the important parts of their day, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime and medications when applicable. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and receiving the same loving care you’d want for them at home.
“Absolutely WONDERFUL. I literally have no words to describe how amazing Traci and Jeffery’s care was for Apollo. They are so sweet and kind and treated my dog as their own. They kept me updated on his activities and behaviors. They were so incredibly accompanying to his medical needs. They are such lovely people to talk with as well. They are very communicative and on top of the job. If you need care for your dog. Hire Traci and Jeffery!”
About: Over two decades of working in pet sitting mainly through small local set ups. Through Rover, I am infusing my creative side to make unique story driven portraits for animal loving families! Can do early morning or late night walks, then can help a puppy with frequent potty breaks. I have an outdoor space of my own, and a backyard with a doggy potty station. My apartment is on the 3rd floor, with 2 cats. My home multiple security features in the common area, and in the home. Personally willing to make a detailed list of events from their stay, and back it up with photos and videos.
“Eliza was great! I’m very particular about my puppy and who she’s around, but I felt very comfortable with Eliza. She communicated with updates daily and really made my puppy feel at home. I would definitely recommend!”
“First time boarding my pup Diago with Brian and Jenny and they were very welcoming. Brian was flexible to accommodate my last minute travel plan which I very much appreciate.. he took such good care of Diago and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay., I can tell Diago had good time with Brian and Teddy. I would highly recommend Brian and will definitely trust him with Diago anytime in future.”
“I think this is Eva’s 4th time with llana, so that should tell you everything you need to know! llana keep you posted on your love one several times a day, your animal will be in great hands!”
“Thank you John and Michelle for watching our Havanese. This was the first time shes been watched outside of family. Seems she had great time making new friends. Thank you again for taking such good care of our girl.”
“Nicolle, care and pictures of my dog Spot made my stay away from him enjoyable. First time we were separated a long period of time. Will gladly as for Nicolle again. Will gladly recommend Rover to family and friends. My daughter n law recommended, glad she did. Gave tip directly to Nicolle when picked up Spot. Didn't know to use system.”
“I can’t stress enough how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone when you’re on vacation. That being said Jenny and her family took such good care of my puppy Teddy. When I saw the pics each day I could see the love she gives to her fur clients. I had a nice vacation knowing he was living his best life with Jenny. I highly recommend if you need a like home environment Jenny will not let you down. I definitely will only use Jenny in the future. Thanks Jenny Teddy will miss you💙”
“Earlier this week, I found myself in the position of finding overnight care for my dog Cookie at the very last minute. I will never send him to a kennel since he does not do well with a lot of other dogs and I did not want him lost amidst a sea of yapping or feeling confined. I needed someone with a big, secure, natural back yard to enjoy when not on walks; someone with only one or two personal pets who would not take in others during Cookie’s stay; and someone active, engaged and loving with my special guy. I found that person in Christina. Christina is brand new to the platform, which I actually liked since I suspected she would go over and beyond what was required as she builds her reputation. Her narrative and the testimonials sounded authentic, and her photos showed obvious joy with dogs and cats. And she was available on short notice. I asked if we could do a live video “walk-around” her house, and mainly her yard, on WhatsApp, which I do not believe most people would have agreed to, but she did so readily. This is what I saw, heard and learned: 1) The yard is huge, secure, beautiful and interesting; 2) Her rapport with her own bichon was kind, gentle and fun (I learned she had three bichons for many years but two passed and I think Rover is partly to help fill that void); 3) She walks in Pennypack Park morning, noon and night so when Cookie was not enjoying the yard, he’d be enjoying new sights and sounds elsewhere with his new bichon buddy; 4) Cookie would not be caged ever, and no other dogs would be accepted for boarding while he was there. I had to change the drop off and pickup times at the last minute, which was not a problem at all. Drop-off was easy and communication consistent and remained on WhatsApp throughout the stay. I picked Cookie up a little while ago and I knew I had made the right choice for my guy. Cookie will be back at Christina’s without a question, though hopefully not at the last minute again. Five out of five!!!”
“My girl Cheddar had a great time with Karlyn! She and her daughter took excellent care of Cheddar, showered her with lots of love and cuddles, and made her feel comfortable while I was away. Karlyn was responsive when I needed her, proactively communicative with updates and pictures, and flexible with scheduling pickup and dropoff. Cheddar looks forward to her next visit and I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Hanna was great! She made us feel at ease while we were away, kept us updated with check-ins and pictures, and took wonderful care of the dogs. We highly recommend her!”
“Lyndsay was excellent all around - she communicated quickly, provided lots of updates, and treated our dog like her own. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again!”
“Ariana and Andrew are highly communicative, quickly responsive, and make themselves easily available to coordinate with. My dog has stayed with them twice and I will continue to use them as his regular sitters so long as they will have him :)”
“Zoey had a wondefurful 5 night stay with David and Phyllis. Our very anxious pup made herself at home quickly and enjoyed all of the attention she got during her stay. This was Zoey's first time work David and Phyllis, but I'm sure it won't be her last. Thank you both for taking such great care of her!!”
“I was nervous at 1st to leave Kensi with anyone because we have never left her over night with anyone. But Christine took extremely great care of our pup. Would recommend her also to someone who needs a pet sitter..”
“Booked Emily last minute to watch Brandy, and she did not disappoint! Emily was very communicative throughout booking process and during the stay. I will definitely look to use her in the future.”
“Jennie is THE BEST. She takes amazing care of my dog Mable whenever I am out of town and sends me lots of photo updates daily! Shes very communicative and flexible with my crazy schedule I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Aivy was amazing! I can’t say enough positive things. She took the best care of Herbie to the point I didn’t think he was going to want to come home. She sent tons of pictures and loved on him like he was her own.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverton
This was my first time using a border to watch my dog while I was on vacation. And I was very nervous about it. But as soon as I met Lan and saw how she connected with Luna, I was put at ease. Throughout the entire time we were away Lan provided numerous photos and videos of Luna and kept us up-to-date on how she was doing. When she got home, she adjusted very quickly and I could tell that she had enjoyed her time being taken care of by Lan. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She does an amazing job and she truly cares about the pets that she’s taken care of.
Denise was incredible, our dogs loved her! We went out of the country, so we were nervous to leave them behind, but they loved their time at Denise's house. Our larger dog is dog reactive (except for his brother) and she was able to manage that very well. He also requires medication, which was handled by Denise as well. She updated us with photos during the trips and the dogs didn't want to leave!
Lou was well cared for while we were away on vacation. We booked short notice and had no issues, I would definitely use them Lauren and John again. Lou is like a child to me. He came home happy and tired after playing with the kids for a week. Thanks for being awesome and making my trip less stressful!! I would definitely book with them again.
Craig took amazing care of our two pups while we travelled for the Christmas holiday. His place was absolutely perfect with the large back yard, and he also took them on many walks throughout the day. They had a great experience. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 3,410 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riverton. About 90% of Riverton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 NJ 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.
