Trish was amazing with Finnegan! She was super responsive and I could tell from the pictures and videos she was sending me that he had a blast. I will definitely be bringing Finn back to her and I highly recommend others to do the same.

Ali did a wonderful job watching my two dogs for a long weekend. She is competent, caring, a proactive communicator, and quick to reply to any questions. My dogs were so happy and content when I picked them up, they wanted to stay at Ali’s place longer. It is so comforting while traveling to know that my dogs are well cared for. I will definitely call on Ali again, I feel so lucky to have found her.

Stacy did an AWESOME job with my 1 year old (LARGE) dog, Jemma. She worked with her on commands that we'd been working on and gave her lots of love! She sent pictures every day and was very easy to work with. She is great with animals and was able to watch Jemma for a week while I was travelling - what a life saver she is!!!!

I needed a last minute booking and she answered and arranged things immediately. My dog seemed half and well groomed and fed when I pick him up. I also got daily updates and cute/silly photos of him. She was really helpful and there when me and my pets needed someone the most. Overall I’d booked with her if you want guaranteed satisfaction, and knowing your pet will gets lots of love and cuddles while your away :)

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was five. I grew up on a farm and understand the anxiety that a pet owner has when going on vacation and finding someone to love their pet as they love them. Well, have no fear! I am here to save the day! I am a school teacher by day and dog caregiver by night! I am happy to spend all my afternoons with your pupper or kitty cat! School is starting so availability unfortunately has become a bit more limited, but I will do everything to work with you and to care for your dear sweet fur baby regardless! I will travel to your home to ensure that your pet is in a familiar space. I will give them daily snuggles, walks and attention. I will treat your pet as if they were my own loving on them and treating them. I am happy to take them on daily walks, to the park and to stay the night at your place.

About: What sets me apart is my professional caregiving experience and genuine love for animals. As a Patient Care Technician, I am trained to be attentive, patient, and responsive to individual needs, qualities that translate naturally to caring for pets.I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or needs a little extra attention, I will provide personalized care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's a daily walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I make it a priority to maintain pets' normal routines and help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule is flexible, and on the days I work from home, I can provide plenty of attention and companionship. When I work in the office, I'm only a two-minute walk away, allowing me to stay readily available and responsive to your pet's needs. In a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and exercise, while also respecting the pet owner's home and preferences.For drop-in visits and walks, I provide fresh water, meals as directed, bathroom breaks, exercise, enrichment, and lots of love. Care at my home I continue the same routines the pets are used to. I have plenty of room and a fenced in yard.

The dogs’ stay with Gillian was super convenient and easy. I loved the vibe and the dogs did too, lots of other dogs, cats and other animals to keep the hounds interested. Communication was really easy and helpful. A lot more personal and a nice, homesy vibe compared to a professional boarding kennel.

FAQs for Boarding - Riverside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $38.85 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 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 182 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riverside. About 92% of Riverside 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 IA 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.
