“Crystal was amazing with our dog! She had great communication throughout, was super friendly, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely work with her again!”
“AMAZING PET SITTER!! She always sends pictures and videos, is funny, and easy to communicate with. I trust her a lot with my grumpy and silly old man dog. She took fantastic care of him and I recommend her. Will definitely be using her again!”
“James did a great job caring for Ellie! I feel confident she was well taken care of based on how comfy she looked in all the photos. He has a great location with his fenced in back yard and beautiful neighborhood for walks!”
“Kiki is the best! She is flexible, responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind. Finley clearly had a great time with her and Skittles, and I really appreciated the regular updates- it made me feel like he was safe, happy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“Kimberly and her family were fantastic. My dog seemed super happy during her stay. I received a photo and note every night. I will definitely be booking with them in the future.”
“Elaine did really an amazing job at taking care of our dog Kala during our extended vacation. She took extra efforts to prepare special food and sent frequent updates and pictures! Elaine will be our first choice when considering any future boarding needs. Thanks Elaine!”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“Couldn't ask for a better sitters - I boarded my pup with Janice and Stalio for three days. They were accommodating with some changes to my schedule and sent photos and feedback while I was away. I look forward to booking them again since I know my dog is happy and cared for well.”
“Candice was wonderful with our little gal pal, a 7 yo Shiba Inu female. She actively updated us the entire time, and we felt super confident knowing Candice was caring for her. Thanks Candice! We can’t wait to use her overnight services again. I highly recommend her! She’s really a superstar dog sitter & very nice, kind person :)”
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).
“She was amazing per usual - ive been looking for a longgg time for someone who i feel comfortable leaving my clingy dog with lol and I found her! 10/10 every time and my dog will be back in January!”
“From the moment we arrived to Sabrina’s home, we could tell how comfortable they felt in her home. They weren’t anxious or hesitant, they settled in so naturally, which says everything ALOT. As an anxious pet parent, that peace of mind was everything. Our Maltese got an upset stomach during the last night of the stay. Sabrina took such great care of her and followed up with us to check on her a few days later after That level of concern shows this isn’t just a service, she genuinely care about the pets she watches. Thank you for treating our babies like they were your own. We’ll absolutely be back in the future!”
“Riley was an outstanding sitter for our pup! He is a blind 10 yr old and she took the best care of him. She gave us updates throughout his stay and I really appreciated the pictures. If we’re ever in the area again, I would definitely trust Riley and she is our go to.”
“Our pup, Luna, always has a great time with Andy, Lydia, and their dog, Luna. Andy sends regular updates with photos so we know our doggie is well taken care of and having a fun time with her new doggie friends.”
About: I have experience with my own dog and have professional training in behavior therapy. Your dog will be loved and taken care of while you are away. I like to get to know the dog and its owner very well by taking a comprehensive approach and understanding the dog's unique needs (either physical, medical or emotional). Dog owners will be at peace knowing that I can provide excellent care of their dog. I love to exercise and have an active dog, so your dog will be in excellent hands. I work from home one day a week and my husband gets home early in the afternoons and can provide care for pets as well. I make sure dogs are safe. They are welcome to cuddle with me on the sofa or I can crate them if they want to. Dogs are welcome in all areas of my home. I have one small dog and your dog will also have a furry friend to keep it company and play with.
“Celena was great! She sent tons pictures of our boy having a great time and she had plenty of updates. We also appreciate that she worked with us on our drop-off and pick-up times! We will definitely work with her again!”
“My pups loved it at Marcella‘s. She has an ease with the pups! My pups ate old farts and she knew just how to ease their anxiety and they trusted her right away. I felt comforted knowing that she loves dogs and my fur babies were well cared for! I would definitely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riva
Diana has cared for our sweet little Kenzi for over four years, and she always treats her like part of the family. She’s caring, dependable, and usually available whenever we need boarding services. Kenzi has a great time with Diana and her family. They welcome her as one of their own, give her plenty of love, and send us daily updates and photos. Those updates give us real peace of mind while we’re away. I highly recommend Diana’s pet-sitting and boarding services. Your pooch will be safe, loved, and spoiled in the best way possible. 🐶🐩🐕🦺🐾
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 July 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 6,828 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.
