“Jessica was GREAT!!! if I could leave 10 stars I would. This was my wife and I first time using Rover and the first time leaving our pup for a long period of time but Jessica made us feel comfortable from start to finish. The most important thing is that she made our pup Marliey feel comfortable. She sent videos kept us updated on everything Marliey was doing. We will definitely be boarding with Jessica again in the near future.”
“Our pup is always so happy with Lauren and John! They kept him so comfortable during our busy wedding weekend, and let us focus on the family and friends we had in town. We highly recommend their home :)”
“Monica has been really great to work with! I think my dog has more fun at her house than mine. He has stayed with her twice and she sends pictures to show me how he is doing while I’m gone. She’s the best”
“Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!”
“While I was on vacation for 9 days my dog Max was in good hands with Marisa and her dog Maya. Marisa sent me daily pictures of Max and kept me abreast of Max's daily activities. I will definitely use Marisa again and I highly recommend Marisa she is great with dogs 🙂”
“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!”
“Was very happy to know my dog was in good hands. Consistent updates and pictures from Emiline nade sure i was kept anxiety free and in the loop during lokis stay. Pictures showed him visibly comfortable at her place. Hope to have him stay over again the next time I travel. THANK YOU SO MUCH for being accommodating not just to my dog but also to me.”
“This is our 2nd stay with Christine. She has always communicated well with us on Chewie's stay. We love that she tries to watch only 1 dog at a time to keep her focus on the care of 1. We are already booked with Christine in Sept.”
“Christina and her family are the best. The communication throughout the whole weekend that they watched our Auggie Was great He had so much fun that when we went to pick him up he didn't want to come home he wanted to stay and keep playing. I would recommend Christina to anyone that wants the best care for their pups.”
“Jeffrey was extremely responsive to my questions and wrote every day with updates and photos. He was patient with Papaya's anxiety, and madensure she ate, even if it meant offering her handfuls of food at a time. It's the first time we left our sweet goofy girl with someone, but it felt good to know she was in such good hands. Thank you, Jeffrey!”
“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”
“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!”
“Jennifer and her family were the perfect fit for our 2yo dachshund, Linguine. This was our first time being away from him for a week and she was communicative every day with photos and updates. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Alexis was incredible with Koda!! It was my first time using the boarding feature with Rover but after meeting Alexis I was completely assured that Koda would be in good hands. Alexis gave daily updates and pics and made sure Koda felt comfortable while away from home.”
“Simply the best! The sweetest people that took the best care of our goldendoodle Summer for a week long stay while our family was on vacation. We know she was showered with love and attention the entire time. They are experienced dog lovers and we’d love to use them in the future! PS - I think Summer was sad to leave!”
“Kelsey and Conor took great care of Rosie! Kelsey was so nice to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Her dogs were so friendly and greeted Rosie so kindly right away! I would definitely book with Kelsey and Conor again. They made me feel like my dog was one of their own!”
“David was great. Lots of pictures sent everyday. When asked him to change and do something else he was willing to do whatever I asked. I will be using David again on my next trip.”
“Kayla was an absolute sweetie to my little ollie, even when he had some separation anxiety from being in a new city , new sitter , new place she was patient and worked with me until he felt comfortable and happy staying with her . I had no issues with communication, and drop off was easy . Will definitely continue to use Kayla to watch my little bear !”

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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
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.
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 , 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.
