“Hana was very well taken care of and had plenty of play time with Astro. We had some scheduling issues with our flight and Leanne was very willing to work with me on those. We are very happy and would definitely be return customers!”
“I am super grateful for Roseanna and the wonderful care she provided Luna! Luna looked like she was having a blast with her new doggie friends in all the photos and videos Roseanna shared. I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home! I highly recommend Roseanna to anyone looking for a responsive, kind, and super knowledgeable pet sitter.”
“Marisa and her puppy, Maya, made Yoshi feel right at home. Marisa kept me updated with pictures and communicated extremely well. Even though Yoshi was happy to see me, he is a bit sad because am sure he misses his new friend, Maya. I highly recommend this family for your doggy sitting needs!”
“Was a great host for Spike, he seemed to have really enjoyed himself. She was great with communication and sending plenty of updates, pictures, and videos. Will definitely use her again.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up caring for dogs of all ages and sizes.. from tiny puppies to beloved senior dogs, and everything in between. ❤️ Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra attention while you’re away, a bath and some TLC, or simply a reliable friend to keep them company, I’d love to help! 🐶🐾 Your pets’ happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority. ❤️ I am currently a stay at home Mom so I am home daily, mostly all day. We enjoy taking walks and spending lots of time outside! We have pleanty of chew toys, balls, and frizbees!! I have a fenced in gass yard, lots of space to run around freely. Our animals are aloud on couches, so yours will be too!
“Great communication. Seemed to really take pride in taking good care of our dog. She came back happy and we were able to enjoy a vacation without worrying about our animal care.”
“Hi Traci and Jeffrey, thank you so much! We had a great trip knowing Kai was safe with you guys. Because Kai hasn't had tons of experience around other dogs, your patience with him meant the world to us. A special thanks to Chewy for being such a gracious host and sharing his toys!”
“Justine took really good care of our dog! They got along very well and Justine always make sure to update me on what's happening, at least once a day! Would book Justine again in the future!”
About: A lifetime of dog care from puppies to seniors. Our last pup crossed the rainbow bridge a few months ago at 17, she left behind a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and 2 loving caretakers. Both my Wife and I are retired. We're home most of the time except for errands or vacations. Plenty of time to give your pup the attention it's deserved. We have a completely fenced in back yard on a quite street in Maple Shade. Dogs are free to roam in and out through the magic mesh. Clean guest dogs are permitted on the furniture and beds. Routine medication can be administered (no needles).
“We left our baby Bella with Christine and I must say, she seemed like she did not want to come back 😂 She was in good spirits and clearly felt comfortable with her and her husband, Bella doesn’t like anyone carrying her but felt very comfortable with Christine. I would certainly recommend her for anyone looking to have their precious pup to have a loving and comfortable place to stay! Thank you for taking such good care of our precious little girl ❤️”
“This is her second time watching my dog while I went on vacation and i officially love her lol she made me feel so comfortable as it was my first time ever letting my dog out of my eye sight lol . From sending pictures/videos and genuinely loving my dog like her own ! Thank you so much for caring for Gucci”
“I was so thankful that Jia was available to watch our pup again, this time for 9 nights which is the longest we’ve ever left her. We received daily updates with photos and videos of her having a blast with the other dogs, which our kids loved to see. We picked our pup up last night and she was great.”
“Debbie is the best. This was our second time having Winters stay with her and I don’t worry a bit! She sends photos and updates and reassurance that my furry baby is all good!”
“I could not ask for a better person to leave our Millie with. From the meet and greet her love of animals was apparent. She sent daily phots and video clips. I had total piece of mind while she stayed with Jennifer. I enjoyed my vacation and so did Millie!”
“Kathleen is kind, caring, thorough and attentive. She really seemed to care for our pups the way we would at home, which is not always easy to find. She sent detailed updates with photos all throughout the day. Katie and Obi will definitely be back! Thank you, Kathleen!”
“Very straight forward about everything. Gave me daily updates and couldn’t ask for a better communicator on the matter. Would ask to have them dog sit again the future for sure.”
“I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter and would highly recommend them. They took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure all of my pet’s needs were met. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and responsible hands. My dog came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Riverside is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 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 November 2026, there are 3,318 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Riverside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverside. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
