“Megan was absolutely wonderful taking care of my dog, Violet! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay—sending updates, photos, and making sure Violet was happy and comfortable. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.

About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including two senior dogs who lived happy lives until 14 years old. I’m patient, attentive, and always make time to give pets the love, care, exercise, and comfort they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I truly enjoy being around animals and making them feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I always make time for walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and special needs, especially for senior pets who may need extra patience and care. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and attention at all times.
“Juan was amazing and flexible… I really appreciated his service and that of Rover. It was my first time using the app and saved me in a pinch. I had to fly and found Juan who was available last minute and came through. My brother dipped off and picked up the dog and said nothing but good things about Juan. Thanks buddy… definitely recommend and will be using him and Rover in the future.”
“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.”
About: Pet care is not just a job for me but a full time career. I have completed pet care coursework; a history caring for those with special needs, internal connections with PetSmart Inc professionals, and daily care for my beloved 5 dogs & 5 cats. I’m currently available weekdays and weekends willing to accommodate client’s busy schedules. I have graduated from school and ready to work full time caring for domesticated animal breeds. I have a very clean and spacious suburban home with one small indoor cat and one small dog. No children. Smoke free. Outdoor security camera present. *** I am very comfortable working in all types of client environments.
“Nancy was amazing! Sent tons of pictures, answered all my questions and requests for updates throughout the day. I'd recommend her 100% and will definitely be using her again. ”
“We had a great experience with Marissa as Jynx’s dog sitter over the holiday. She communicated with us and made sure we knew how Jynx was doing. Jynx can be sensitive to loud noises, and Marissa was incredibly attentive and comforting when Jynx was scared. The pictures she sent of Jynx enjoying herself were such a thoughtful touch and reassured us that she was happy and well cared for. We would happily book Marissa again and highly recommend her.”

I will definitely continue to use him whenever I need a dog sitter and will recommend him to my family as well.”

Angel took excellent care of my dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was professional, dependable, and genuinely caring from start to finish. He kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such good hands. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that he truly cared about their well-being. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter.
Dorcas and her husband were amazing. We had a last minute cancellation with another sitter and Dorcas was extremely friendly, welcoming, and willing to help us last minute! Communication was great and we received lots of updates and photos/videos of Connie's stay... And she only stayed one night! We would love to use Dorcas again in the future. Thank you for saving our family trip!!
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.

FAQs for Boarding - Riverside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $44.4 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 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 July 2026, there are 2,952 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.
