“I left my two border collies with Jessica for the first time and it was a great experience. They came home happy dogs and she was great about sending pictures and letting me know how they were doing without even asking. Her house is extremely clean and I will be using her again the next time I go away! This was a great experience. I have never left my dogs with someone I didn’t know and I had a great comfort level when I left them with Jessica. Thank you so much Jessica!!! What a great experience!!! I highly recommend her if you need a place for your pups when you go away !!”
“Lauren was so sweet and helpful. I brought Daisy with just a few days notice and they were able to accommodate. She got along great with their dog, Nala and was happy and tuckered out by the end of the weekend.”
“Bailey had another great sleepover with Monica and her wonderful family! We can't thank Monica enough for taking such great care of Bailey and she even sent over pictures of Bailey having a blast then off to sleep in her crate! Bailey can't wait for her next stay with Monica and playing in her huge backyard!”
“Jia watched my dog, Tara last Tuesday night. I was apprehensive of course , leaving her with someone new but my fears were definitely unfounded. She sent several pics showing me what Tara was up to all night, & in every photo, Tara looked thrilled. I was then able to enjoy my night out with no concerns for her welfare. Can’t wait to use her again! Highly recommend her! She’s wonderful.”
“Samantha was great! Very knowledgeable about dogs. She sent me a picture of her daughter reading Milo a book. Adorable! She kept me updated about Milo and informed me of a health condition with Milo. Very much appreciated!”
“Lauren provided EXCELLENT boarding services for Rocky. From the meet and greet, drop off and pick up. She sent photos and communicated several times a day. I was totally relieved with Lauren. I almost felt guilty that I wasn’t worried.😂 I would use Lauren again with no hesitation!”
“I highly recommend Christine for her services. My older dog was well taken care of in her home and got lots of attention and care. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and ai will continue to use her services.”
“I had to go on something like 6 trips over the past couple of months and booked Jeffrey every time. He is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. He is extremely flexible, an excellent communicator, kind, and has a great, safe space for dogs to play inside and outside. You will not go wrong booking with Jeffrey.”
“Denise was incredible, our dogs loved her! We went out of the country, so we were nervous to leave them behind, but they loved their time at Denise's house. Our larger dog is dog reactive (except for his brother) and she was able to manage that very well. He also requires medication, which was handled by Denise as well. She updated us with photos during the trips and the dogs didn't want to leave!”
“Anthony is great with our Jezebelle! She's a rescue and even though she's very loving, she can be a handful since she's so powerful. But that's no problem for Anthony and she is crazy about him!”
“Tania was an amazing sitter for our dog Billie! She sent loads of pictures and made sure our pup was comfortable the whole visit. She was very professional and clearly knows what she’s doing around dogs - we will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Alexis does such a great job with Prince! She really takes care of him and provides the comfort Prince receives at home. I will continue to care for Prince when I am away.”
“Excellent, excellent experience. Joe and Bonnie are warm, welcoming true dog-lovers who lavished affection on my Sona and made her feel right at home. I could go on and on about what an exceptional experience this was, but I selfishly want to keep them all to myself! ; )”
“I have never had better place to leave my sweet Apollo, he had an excellent time! Kelsey & Conor were sending updates and images constantly. I would highly recommend them!”
“Krystal is amazing, she took care of my puppy really well and gave him plenty of love, Even though he was misbehaving, she showed patience with him. 100% recommend her and will be using her again in the future!!!”
“Liubov was wonderful with our dog Ollie while we were on vacation. It was the first time that we used a sitter and were a little nervous about it, but meeting Liubov put us at ease. She texted us daily with updates, pictures and videos of Ollie. It was obvious how comfortable he was with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again when we go on vacation!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Riverside is $55
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Leanne and Mark are absolutely marvelous. I met with Leanne before leaving my Portuguese Water Dog named Stella and my pup took to her immediately. She stayed with Leanne and Mark for two weeks and all the while I was sent photographs and updates and told how she was doing. Since I was travelling on business, it was a huge weight lifted from me knowing that Stella was in such good hands. She came back to me happy and healthy and I simply couldn't ask for more.
Lou was well cared for while we were away on vacation. We booked short notice and had no issues, I would definitely use them Lauren and John again. Lou is like a child to me. He came home happy and tired after playing with the kids for a week. Thanks for being awesome and making my trip less stressful!! I would definitely book with them again.
Craig took amazing care of our two pups while we travelled for the Christmas holiday. His place was absolutely perfect with the large back yard, and he also took them on many walks throughout the day. They had a great experience. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Randi was absolutely amazing! I always get nervous leaving Harper but she made me feel much better about everything. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent pictures to ease my concerns. She was very attentive about keeping with our regular routines. I would highly recommend booking with her and definitely plan to book with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Riverside is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $77 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 of October 2026, there are 3,313 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.
94% 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.
<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 , 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 NJ 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.
