“Jeff and family took great care of our girl while we went away for our wedding and honeymoon. He kept us updated with photos throughout the trip and even face timed with us so we could say hi to her. If ever have to go away again we will definitely book him. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches and anyone should feel lucky to use his services. Thank you Jeff and your household for taking such great care of Nymeria!”
“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 :)”
“First time use Rover and had a fantastic experience with Emeline! Great communication, Emeline was always quick to reply, and constantly check in with us, and we scheduled a visit before boarding. Emeline is very patient and truly loves animals, and she bought our puppy treat and gave him plenty of toys to play with, I can see that my puppy was happy!”
“Becky and Travis were perfect. It was our first time having someone “board” Etta. We only had a couple days to find someone, and they were willing to squeeze in a meet and greet to help ease our minds. It was evident through photos and texts that Etta was having an amazing time with Becky, Travis, and their pups- and being treated with care and love. She was even sent home with a handmade bandana! We’re so thankful!”
About: I have had cats for over 20 years. My cat passed two years ago. i kept my daughters lab for 6 months a year for several years. I even took him to work with me! I have six grandchildren that have 4 dogs. I have been watching their dogs for the last 5 years. They travel a lot so I stay at their home and take care of their 4 dogs and pig. I am retired and live by myself. I will be able to spend all day with your furry friends and give them unlimited love. I will be available by text or phone call if you want to check In at anytime. I am happy to send pictures as well I have a back yard and I live on a quiet street so I would be able to take your dog for plenty of walks. I am very familiar with litter box’s and how to take care of your cats as well
“Roseanna treated my pup Lylla like her own and I couldn’t ask for anything more. She was very accommodating and took the time to meet not only Lylla, but us as well. I will definitely be rebooking with Roseanna in the future and highly recommend her!”
“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! ; )”
“Natalie was a great host — super communicative and sent several pics and updates for our pup’s overnight stay. Her dog, Luna, is also super friendly and great with guests. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Jayla is the best sitter I have ever had for Marley! I had to travel out of the country because of an unexpected issue for a month and she was ready to take care of Marley at literally a days notice and was flexible with extending the stay too! She updated me regularly with pictures and videos and she kept Marley super happy throughout the stay. Marely had never stayed away from me for so long and is usually a bit clingy but I could see that he was super happy throughout the stay from the videos Jayla shared. She trained him, groomed him and fed him as per his requirement. I was super happy with the experience and would definitely choose Jayla in the future too. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my precious boy!”
“My king was in love with hardy and when I say he had the best time of his life with hardy.And I will definitely give him a 10 and will use and recommend him to anyone. I thank you so much for your service.”
“I highly recommend Kerry! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and using Rover. I received daily pictures and updates. Missy is looking forward to her next vacation with Kerry!”
“We have used Leanne a few times with our American Bully Maya. We are so happy she sends us photos and updates throughout her stay and love that our dog can be around children and other dogs so she can enjoy her stay even more. Highly recommend this sitter!”
“She communicated well , let him run to stretch his legs! I wasn’t to far away , but I felt my dog was in good hands regardless! and taken care of. I don’t do reviews but wanted to support her . If you need a sitter give her a chance.”
“She did an amazing job caring for my dogs while I was away. She kept me updated, sent plenty of pictures, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. My dogs looked happy and well cared for. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Our Layla loves being taken care of by Kerri and Harry! They treat Layla like one of their own and follow all of our care instructions. It is always evident that Layla had a good time when we pick her up. We can not recommend Kerri and Harry enough!”
“Laura, and her family took such good care of Bella I don’t think she wanted to come home. I loved the daily updates and the pictures of her activities during the day.I would definitely be boarding Bella with them in the future.”
“Kathryn did a wonderful job with our somewhat anxious and possibly spoiled furball! She was so welcoming and willing to work with us from drop off timing to special food instructions and she communicated with pictures and notes regularly! I don’t know who enjoyed their time away more, the dog or the humans! Thank you for taking such good care of Cookie! 🐾❤️”
“Jenn is my go to sitter for my Bella, who is a senior dog. I have used her several times. She loves Jenn’s dog and cat. Jenn sends photos and video and she makes Bella feel at home. She is always happy when I drop her off. She also sends a thank you note for choosing her as a sitter. She is the ultimate professional. I would highly recommend her!”
“Jeffrey was great with our dogs! He took wonderful care of them. He provided regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We would be happy to have Jeffrey watch our dogs again in the future.”

Matt and Leanna took care of our two dogs for two days while we went away. Amazing is an understatement. The dogs were so comfortable and Matt went the extra mile by taking the dogs to a big park twice! They're still tired out which was relieving after traveling with two toddlers. We will absolutely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Thank you so much!!
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 for Dog Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $42.18 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 3,358 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.
94% 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 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.
