“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!!!”
“Megan did an awesome job with our two dogs. This was there first time be away from home, so at first it was out of there element but she stepped in and took good care of them. I loved that she sent pictures and gave updates on how they were doing. I was glad to hear they were welcomed back. Will definitely book again.”
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.
“Couldn't have asked for a better sitter to take care of my furr baby! Dorcas is so sweet & patient. Did not hesitate to care for my female husky considering that my dog needs to be given medication twice a day. She would send updates on the daily with pictures & my furr baby looked so happy. Definitely a huge relief that she was in good hands. Will forever book Dorcas as long as I need to. (:”
“Christine and Rodney are wonderful people! Nilla was so happy in their care. They followed all my instructions and made sure Nilla was well cared for. They are the only ones I will call to watch her for all my upcoming needs. I really recommend them!”
“Crystal was very kind and amazing with our dogs. She took very good care of them. It was a last minute booking and she was very helpful and accommodating. Her backyard is a great and spacious place for dogs to play in. She sent us pictures daily of how our pups were doing. She is a great dog sitter and would definitely recommend her.”
“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. 🐾❤️”

“Jeanne took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, and I’m so grateful. She treated him like her own and made me feel completely at ease. I especially appreciated how she kept me updated, even when I was busy and couldn’t always respond. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Took great care of our pets going above and beyond with communicating and sending updates. We were worry-free right away knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you very much to the whole family for helping take care of our babies!”
“Nancy was great! My dog Cane was super exhausted and slept almost the whole day when he came back. Safe to say that he was entertained the 9 days that he was there, whether it was from the dogs or the other animals they have. Highly recommended .”
“Naydamar was very caring for my dog. She sent lots of photos and videos of our dog having fun. Our dog got along well with hers. In all the photos and videos they were playing. I would definitely trust Naydamar with my baby again.”
“Absolutely ideal. I think my dogs enjoyed their night away from home as much as we enjoyed our get-away. Parnian sent so many pictures of our dogs lounging, eating and playing. I feel like she loved them like her own dogs. I hope they get the chance to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time we used Rover, and it was the first time that we ever left our dog with anybody. I was a little nervous, but I was more than pleased with the way everything was handled. They treated her the same as we would have treated her ourselves. She came back, happy healthy and I would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you Martin for an outstanding job.”
“Rosalyn is awesome! She is always available, whether it's just a day or 2 weeks vacation, or holidays, or a last-minute notice for daycare. Most importantly, Tommy loves her and loves to go to her house! I enjoyed seeing the cute pictures and funny videos she sent, seeing my baby happy with other dogs either at the house or on a walk. She's also very flexible on her schedule, helping me to pick up and drop off Tommy whenever I need. Her house is a doggy wonderland, very spacious and super clean! It feels good that you have a sitter you can trust when you are away from your fur baby. I know she will treat my baby like her own. Thank you, Rosalyn!”
“Great dog sitter. We left our two daughters dogs at Jeffrey’s home over the course of 5 days. Jeffrey was great on keeping us inform and updated on how our babies were doing. Send us pictures and home videos of our pets.”

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!
Megan was stuck in traffic during drop-off, but her son was nice and accommodating and took great care of Hunter until Megan returned. Hunter came back healthy and spending some time with other dogs was definitely good for her. We'd definitely consider using Megan in the future if we need to board Hunter 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.
America replied quickly and accepted my request on a very short notice. I feel like she followed through on all expectations, like giving Skippy his food and water, taking him for mini walks, and providing my little dog companionship. America even let me know my Skippy was feeling sad when I left, but better the following day. Pictures too. Will use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,902 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Riverside sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Riverside landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
