“Hana was great. She took care of my little kitten like her own. She kept updating me with pics every few hours. She answered all of my messages fast. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is on top of things I recommend her 100% percent. :)”
“My dogs did very well with Jeanne for their first overnight visit. I thank her for here calm, accommodating personality with them both and they seemed to have enjoyed their visit too! She lives in a quiet, green neighborhood so they enjoyed their walks and probably enjoyed being outside at the pool as well!”
“Kathleen took great care of our dogs! She provided us with plenty of photo and video updates daily and kept us in the loop about the dogs’ day and we really appreciate that. The dogs looked like they had a great time! We highly recommend Kathleen as your next dog sitter! Thank you so so much.”
“Tony was amazing! Super kind and always keeping me updated! My puppy had so much fun during her stay, and my work weekend was 100% easier thanks to Tony! Definitely will be booking again :)”
“Thank you, Juan for watching Chiko! Very grateful he agreed to watch him, we needed someone so last minute. And he helped us out with his own supplies! 10/10 recommend. We can tell Chiko had fun, didn’t want to leave lol”
“Breauna is the best she sent us pics daily , we was gone 7/ days and received updates & pics daily she answered all our questions and was very understanding that Romeo was a big spoiled blk lab and she worked with us on drop off and pick up.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was little, and I really love taking care of them—especially dogs. I’ve raised a few pets at home and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I enjoy going on walks, feeding them on time, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I try to treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’d be happy to care for your pet and make sure they’re comfortable while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but I go home during my lunch break to check on the pups—making sure they get a potty break, a short walk, or some playtime. After work, I have more time to give them attention, play, and care. I'm available for boarding on weekends and for pet care on weekdays after 4:30 PM. I have a fully fenced yard and a small Yorkie, Bella, who loves keeping your fur baby company and having a buddy to play with.
About: My mother raised me alongside a puppy in an area dense with wildlife. Along with our growing dog, we often had rodents, birds, or stray cats to take care of. In high school I took care of mice, and owned two sets of rats. The dog I was raised with passed at age 20, and I am experienced in taking care of senior pup needs. I'm currently working part time, and my ideal days to hang out with your pets are Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This will be the case until college starts again in the fall. I have a fenced in home as well as lots of access to pet supplies. I love all parts of animal care, whether it be active play or just snuggling on the couch. Having a senior dog, I am also experienced in handling minor medical situations.
“Angel took care of both our big dogs for a week while my family was out of town. I will definitely book with him again. He treated them like his own and sent us updates on how they were doing. I appreciate all his help with our energetic and needy dogs.”
“Andrea has been so wonderful to my boy Archie This was our first time leaving him since we’ve adopted him and we wanted to make sure we left him with someone who would give him a lot of attention and love. That’s exactly what Andrea did and more. She updated us with lots of videos and pictures and seeing our Archie so happy was so sweet. He also had so much fun with her fur baby to keep him company as well. we couldn’t have been happier with our experience and we are so glad we chose Andrea!”

“Darryl & Janice went above and beyond, truly exceeded expectations! This was our first time ever leaving our dogs with someone and our first time using Rover. They took the time to explain to us how it worked, reassured us with our concerns, they were patient and understanding! But the cherry on top that made this experience AMAZING was the report cards, certificates and bow ties they gave Zeus and Boo! They made this experience feel like they were staying at grandma and grandpas house and were spoiled! Thank you for your kindness and caring for our babies we will absolutely be returning!”
“Elizabeth (Elly) was absolutely outstanding with our baby dog. This is the first time we left our 8 year old rottie (big baby) with an overnight sitter. Elly kept us updated often about how Buddy was doing with pictures of our very happy pup! Absolutely highly recommend Elly to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Rodrigo and Jen are great dog sitters! My little dog is a little shy at first with new people, but quickly became very comfortable with them in their home. We received lots of pictures and videos. She got to go on a walk, a car ride to a coffee shop, sunbathed in the back yard, and played lots of fetch - All of her favorite things! Overall a great staycation for our pup. We already booked her next stay!”
About: Hi! My name is Sherleen and I love dogs and have always grown up with them. I had a childhood chihuahua that I took care of for over 15 years. I now have a malte poo and a pug that I’ve been raising for over 11 years since before they could be weaned from their mom. You can imagine the nights waking up to feed them like human babies! I’ve picked up doggie accidents that seemed like natural disasters and have groomed and bathed my dogs since having them. I’ve cared for dogs from shelters who have trust issues around humans, dogs with behavioral issues and health issues. This includes giving them routine medication around the clock, dedicating time to gaining trust, or as simple as them needing help cleaning themselves after using the restroom. I own 2 Brachycephalic dogs so I also understand the attention those breeds require. Personally, my pug is allergic to fleas and ticks so my house and yard are flea and tick free for her safety! I am a college student who’s doing classes in person on the mornings and can 100% dedicate attention and care. Please message me if you need me during a day I don’t have “available”!!! I’m also really available during holidays! I can do special requests and update my calendar for you (M,Th, 11:30 pm- 6pm) (T, 1:30 and ongoing) (W, 12:30 - 6pm) Just message me and I’ll work something out for your situation! Pets are our babies and deserve nothing less! I currently work with students as an orchestra tutor and a coach working with students ranging of ages. I work around schedules for students and I can do the same for people needing pet sitting! I As a school district worker I am required to do background checks and fingerprints to be a teacher, I understand having a stranger take care of your dog can be stressful but with this knowledge I hope I can ease some of your minds. As a dog owner it’s only essential to give your dog attention, interaction and above all, patience. Dogs like playing, walking or just chilling with their owners and those things vary between dogs! Some have way more energy than other dogs and it’s important to know what they need especially since they can’t talk for themselves. In my household I have a yard that my dogs stay outside for the majority of the day. When bringing in new dogs, I will keep your dog/s indoors and take care of their needs at all times with me so in the case they’re not used to other pups I have a barrier.
“The service is above and beyond. They contacted me and updated me with pictures. My puppy looked like he had such a fun time with the other animals , sitters and their kids 🤍 he was definitely loved and cared for. I had no worries , he even came back smelling amazing ! I highly recommend booking them to care your fur babies .”
“We had a great experience with Tori! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away in Canada. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, followed his routine from home, took him on walks, and spent time playing with him. It was such a relief knowing he was happy and well cared for.”

Pretty sure Nutan and Garrett broke our dogs. We dropped off two high-voltage, 60+ pound wrecking balls for a quick weekend, and in return, we were handed back two comatose velvet hippos. We were the ones who went to Vegas, so explain to me why our pit bulls came home looking like they just closed down a nightclub at 6:00 AM and gambled away their life savings. They didn't twitch a muscle the entire afternoon or evening, just collapsed onto the carpet like decorative meatloafs and snored in stereo. Ruined our entire evening plan of being tackled into the drywall. If you want sitters who will run your couch sharks into utter, blissful submission, Nutan and Garrett are the culprits. 10/5 stars.
We had such a great experience with Kristina! This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever having someone else take care of Mochi, so naturally we were a little nervous. Kristina went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and reassured the entire time She constantly sent us pictures and videos, kept us updated, took Mochi on walks, and was always super responsive whenever we checked in. It was so nice being able to see how happy and well cared for Mochi was while we were away We’re so happy we chose Kristina and would absolutely book with her again! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pup like their own
We left our 13 year old aussie girl with Megan for 2 long weeks this month. She seems to have had a great time with Megan. She ate well, and was bouncy,excited and in excellent condition when we picked her up. Megan is TERRIFIC! Highly recommended. Our girl Piper has had a hard time with other sitters in the past, needs daily meds, is elderly with arthritis, and we worry about leaving her. Megan was wonderful! She can be trusted with your precious fur babies.
My second time leaving Gussy under Kathy’s care. He went on a bike ride, got in the pool and had the time of his life! I feel so incredibly grateful to have met such a great family to watch him while I’m gone. Thank you so much Kathy can’t wait to have you sit gussy again!
Elizabeth is an actual saint. She survived 4 nights with our two chaotic house hippos and somehow still liked them by the end! Her photo and text updates were so consistent, it felt like my dogs got their own reality show while we were away. Book her immediately—unless I beat you to it. 6/5 stars.
This is Chewies second time with Afton. We love her. She is just awesome and Chewy feels very comfortable and secure. We are very happy with Afton and will continue to ask specifically for her. We feel Chewy is in a happy, safe, loving place. As long as Afton is available, Chewy will have a great place to stay. Thanks Afton. You make it easy to take a vacation and not feel overwhelmed with concern about our precious Chewy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Riverside is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,869 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Riverside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Riverside can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Riverside home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Riverside.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Riverside sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 CA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
