“Kimberly and her family took great care of our dog Winnie while we were away over the holiday break! She sent pictures every day of her enjoying time inside and outside on her walks about the neighborhood. We are so grateful that we found them and will definitely use her in the future! Thank you, Kimberly!”
“Janice and Stalio were great hosts to our dog Diego. When Diego needed daily medicine after we made the booking they were happy to assist. They were communicative and helpful. They treated our dog like he was their own.”
“Mady was so kind and caring. She treated our Cooper with such love. We received many pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to use her again. She is a top pick.”
“I highly recommend Raynell for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! She took exceptional care of my dog while I was away. Her attention to detail and patience made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. The regular updates and photos She sent me brought me peace of mind, and my dog seemed happy and relaxed upon my return. Raynell truly went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort and happiness.”
“Alexis is the absolute best sitter to my box Rex. I have used her multiple times over the years anywhere from 1 - 10 nights in her home and my dog is excited to jump out and go in every time I drop him off. Thanks again!”
“Valeria was very attentive and gentle as well as detailed. I asked for a few extra things be looked out for and she was on it all. We also had to extend another night last minute and she not only made it worked but was incredibly sweet about it. Definitely recommend!”
“Jasmine was fantastic with our two dogs for 10 days over Christmas! Daily walks and pictures were sent to us. I felt so at peace knowing they were being well taken care of. When our flight times coming home got changed, Jasmine was so understanding and flexible with our pickup. Great experience, highly recommended!”
“As Always Paisley is always comfortable and well cared for. Always willing to adapt the schedule in case of schedule changes. She’s always got other dogs to play with and is excited.”
About: I've had dogs since I was 9 years old. Friends and family rely on me to walk and feed their dogs. I love playing and caring for dogs! I mostly work from home during the week so I am able to be fully present and attentive to those I am watching during that time. I stick to a schedule based on what their owner has told me what their needs are. I like to stick to their walking and feeding routine, as well as gaining their trust so they are comfortable in my home.
“Donna is a true dog lover. It was evident to us from our meet and greet that she is familiar with dog behavior and has the temperament to deal with different types of dogs. She was very warm and loving to our dog, got to know him and cared for him accordingly. We were kept abreast of what was going on with him every day of the 10 days that we were away and felt totally comfortable with her. We will definitely board our dog with her again.”
About: I have grown up with medium to large sized dogs my whole life. I have experience with very friendly dogs and dogs that cannot play with others as well as puppies to older dogs. I have cared for my own pets and friends while growing up and can be trusted with any task to ensure your pets needs and safety! I can offer dog walking in the mornings (7-9am) or afternoons (4-7pm) during the week or anytime during the weekends. I am available on the weekends to check-in or stay with your animal overnight as well. I can check-in and care for your animal during the day or overnight at clients homes. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, bathed, played with and let outside for their needs. I am comfortable with any specific instructions from the owners as well (medication that needs to be taken, crate training, etc).
“Sofia was super accommodating and very nice. She took Sid, our pug, at a pretty short notice and we could tell he really loved spending time with her. Sofia was very communicative and took him on lots of walks. She is a great sitter and I’d recommend to anyone. I’ll definitely be bringing Sid back to her when we need help while in Annapolis. Thanks Sofia, you’re the best! -Alex, Matt and of course, Sid.”
“We have had Sari watch Rusty twice now and she has done an amazing job! It was a weight off of my shoulders going into the second time because I knew he'd be well taken care of and have a great time with her. She does incredible long walks and even took him to a park on the water, which was a new experience for him! I cannot recommend Sari enough.”
“Robin went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt at home and loved! This was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Needless to say, I was an emotional wreck. As we were leaving, we thought our dog would start crying and scratching at the door, but no, she followed Robin inside immediately. Robin took many videos and pictures throughout my dogs stay and sent them to me knowing I was a bit nervous. This calmed my nerves and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I’m going to definitely leave my baby with Robin when I go again!!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Duke! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of my questions, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout Duke’s stay, she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and well cared for he was. That level of communication meant so much and truly set her apart. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Lindsay made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dogsitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! 🐾”
“We used Kacie for two nights of dog boarding and she was awesome! Excellent communication, sent lots of photos/videos, daily walks and dog park visits. Our dog was in good hands and it was obvious he enjoyed his time with Kacie and Blu. We will definitely be booking with Kacie again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“This vacation would not have been possible without Ryan and Sabrina! They loved Slate as one of their own and he has fallen in love with them. The daily updates were priceless for me!”

We were lucky enough to have Julia care for Remmie on two occasions - one full day and one overnight. On both stays Julia provided clear instructions for pickup and drop off as well as regular updates. She even took Remmie to the local park, which meant she came home tired but happy! We would call on Julia again and highly recommend her as a sitter.
Amy is fabulous! She watched our dog for 2 weeks while we were out of the country and we didn’t have to worry about him at all! She sent us lots of pictures, videos, and updates and was very accommodating when we were scheduling his meet and greet and his stay. She has a large fenced in yard and our dog was super happy to be able to play outside so often. She has an awesome room just for the pets to stay in if she has to leave the house and our dog was just as comfortable there as he is at home. Our dog did not even want to get in the car to leave when I picked him up. And she even sent him home with 2 new toys! Definitely recommend and will for sure be using her again next time we need a pet sitter!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Riva on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 6,791 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riva. About 91% of Riva 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 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.
