“Megan was great with my young dog. And she went over and above all expectations since mine was recently out of a shelter and therefore unpredictable. Thank you so much Megsn.”
“Hana was a great doggie Mamma when we were away for a week. The dogs looked happy and in spite of very hot weather they got in their exercise and usual stimulation and cuddles. Thank you Hana!!!”
“Nutan & Garrett were great! They were fast responders & easily accessible. I was sent pics & videos throughout my dog's 9 day stay & he always looked so happy in them. He also came home happy & looked well taken care of. He was even walked & given a bath even though I didn't ask them to do that, which was great! I'm always careful with who I leave my dog with because he's a big Doberman, but they did a great job with him.”
“Kristina was great. Daily walks and various other activities for my pup, plus loads of updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Would 100% get her again to take care of my furbaby!”
“Rodney and Christine were so wonderful to work with, we appreciated how quick they were to respond, their updates and care with taking care of our dog, as well as their flexibility. They were so kind and easy to work with and really helped us out with a last minute reservation and some delayed travels. We highly recommend them as people who are kind, reliable and loves animals. We look forward to using them in the future!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have been walking and caring for friends and family's dogs for years. I know how to give each pup the attention and exercise they need. My daily routine is very flexible. I'm available every morning and evening for walks, and I build my whole schedule around your dog's needs. Whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I always care for pets in the client's home. I follow any special instructions you give me, keep your house clean, and make sure all doors and gates are securely closed before I leave. Your pet's safety and your home are my top priority.
“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!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care Winnie provided for our dog while we were away! From the very first meet & greet, it was clear how much love and experience she brings to every visit. Our pups (who can be a bit anxious with new people) warmed up to her instantly and was always so excited to see her. Winnie went way above and beyond—daily photo and video updates that made us feel completely at ease, extra playtime and walks, and she even sent little “good morning” messages with pictures of our dog happily wagging his tail. She followed our detailed instructions perfectly, kept their routine consistent, and made sure they got plenty of cuddles and mental stimulation. She’s reliable, communicative, professional, and truly treats every dog like her own. If you’re looking for someone who will give your furry family member the absolute best care, she is the best. Thank you so much, Winnie! We’ll be requesting you for every future trip. 🐾❤️”
“Emily and her family were great!! Made us feel comfortable from the beginning and were always so positive and receptive to Phineas’ energy. They knew how to keep my energetic dog entertained and very happy! Look forward to bringing him back.”
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.
“Dorcas and her family took such great care of Daisy! I loved the photo updates, and they were very thorough in asking for care instructions for Daisy and following them. They were also extremely kind and welcoming.”
“Julie and John were fantastic. We left Astro with them for 3 weeks and I felt no worries because they cared for him so well. We got updates daily and they truly loved and spoiled him!”
“David was a wonderful dog sitter. He sent updates, videos, and pictures daily and is very responsive. He’s attentive and is with the dogs all day so I knew my girl was getting the best care. I would use David again.”
“Nancy is great with our Dog. Just seeing how excited our pup is when we drop him off is comforting. Nancy sends us pics throughout the day which is awesome. It gives us peace of mind knowing our dog is with someone that has a heart of gold for animals. We are so lucky to have a place to take our dog that is safe and comfortable for everyone. Nancy's service is a "10"!!!!”
“Kathleen watched over our dogs and I know they had a great time because they pouted on the ride home!! She was great at sending updates and pictures on how they were getting along and settling in. She’s definitely someone we will look for in the future and can 100% recommend to others!”
“Immediately felt comfortable leaving him with him I wasn’t sure how my dog would behave but I imagine my dog felt comfortable as I’ve never had him watched over but he behaved well assuming because he felt comfortable and with good vibes I would definitely leave him with him again he took care of him well and provided many updates photos and videos included if your looking for someone dependable and well versed with caring for pets you can’t go wrong with him 10/10 would recommend again”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
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.

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.
96% 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, we recommend 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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 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.
