“We were incredibly lucky to find a friendly and responsible dog sitter who frequently sent me messages, photos, and videos to keep me updated on how our dog was doing. He had a wonderful time at her home; not only did he find a caring sitter, but he also got to play with canine companions from morning till night every day. Whenever he got tired, he would simply go right to sleep—eating well and sleeping soundly—making for a truly delightful spring break! A huge thank you to Jia for all the love and care!”
“Brineydi took perfect care of our dog! She was very thorough in our initial meet and greet to make sure she knew everything needed to take care of him over the extended weekend. She was very responsive through the stay and sent us tons of pictures and updates. Our dog was very happy to stay with her. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be asking her to take care of our dog again in the future!”
“Chazz was so great! He instantly put my mind at ease about leaving my dog Zelda overnight for the first time and when I picked her up, she was calm and happy. I’d book again for sure.”
“If I could leave a 10 star rating I would. Stephanie loves animals! She adapts to your pet's needs and treats them like family! She also is in contact with you daily and sends pictures. There are always other dogs for your dog to play with so he is not bored. It was a clean, healthy, and happy experience.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We always had a family member watch our dog so we were nervous trusting someone else. Traci and Jeff went out of their way to make our dog feel like part of their family. Pictures were sent twice a day with a brief update. I would not hesitate to use them again. They are good people.”
“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!!!”
“Brittany took really good care of my pup. She was very responsive when I texted her to ask how he was doing. She cared for him like he was her own. My dog stops eating in new places but she mixed in some of her own wet food to make sure he wasn’t starving. Highly recommend her and would definitely be using her services in the future. She’s awesome!”
“Lina did a wonderful job! She sent videos and photos. She was very nice and even cleaned my dogs ear when he got an infection just before we left. My dog left happy and came back happy! Would book again”
“Tania has watched our two dogs twice now at her home, and she always does a great job. They’re relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her. We feel completely at ease leaving them with her and will definitely be booking again.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy! I had a Golden Retriever for five and a half years who took daily medication, so I’m comfortable following specific routines and medication instructions. I’ve also fostered two dogs through rescue organizations, both of whom were successfully adopted. I’ve cared for four dogs through TrustedHousesitters and received 5-star reviews, and I’m the trusted dog sitter for family and friends. These experiences have given me the opportunity to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work remotely full-time with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and will work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and your schedule. I live on my own with no other pets, so your pup will have my full attention! While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, there are plenty of grassy areas and sidewalks throughout my dog-friendly neighborhood that are perfect for walks and exploring. There are also plenty of friendly neighborhood dogs for pups who enjoy socializing, while everyone is respectful of dogs who prefer to have their own space. I’m happy to follow your pup’s comfort level and routine!
“Zyiana was great! She was so flexible to accommodate my travel times. She sent great pics and videos during updates giving me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Milissa is the best sitter ever. This was my second booking with her. My dog has separation anxiety. Milissa was able to manage her anxiety. To the point when I picked up my dog. She didn’t want to leave Milissa. I knew at that moment Milissa was the one who my dog would be spending time with.”
“Maryori was the perfect choice for our fur baby Bentley. She was very warm and welcoming, and she made our boy feel right at home. He spent his birthday with her and she went out of her way to buy him a few gifts and treats which we appreciated very much! I will definitely book her again.”
“Kristina does such a great job with Oli, who clearly loves hanging out at her home while we are away. Kristina sends lots of pictures of her long daily walks and playtime at home.”
“Anthony and his family did a great job with my dog Max. He sent me updates and pictures while I was out of town so I was very confident about the care they were giving my little dog. Max was happy and playful when I picked him up, not at all nervous or anxious or mad because I left him. I will definitely use Anthony again and I’m happy that I found him.”
“Our 10 month old puppy recently stayed with Hardy for three whole weeks over the holidays! He did a fantastic job with him, it is clear to see his home is well set up for boarding dogs. He has a good sized backyard which is set up well for the dogs to run around and play together. He is highly competent and skilled since he works with animals for a living and takes care of his many animals well too. He was very communicative throughout, sending us many photos and videos which helped because we missed him! Would definitely recommend booking Hardy for any overnight stay, especially if you are nervous about leaving your pup behind!”
About: I’ve cared for multiple pets in my life from Dachshunds to Rottweilers. I absolutely love spending time with pets and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go for walks, or just have someone nearby, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for, just like they would at home. During the week, I work in a school district where my day ends at 2:15pm. My husband is home until midday. In addition, on weekends we are home. I am happy to chat and answer any questions about our daily schedules. I provide a comfortable and soothing environment for your pet. I make sure pets have regular potty breaks, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll do my best to follow your pet’s normal schedule.
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Currently have 3 of our own. Would have been 4 but one of ours recently crossed the rainbow bridge. Have trained all of ours from the puppy stage. Can administer medication, cut/trim nails and hair near the eyes. Play time, walk anything to keep them occupied to help them burn their energy. Rescue is a must but will not judge anyone. Currently have small to medium/large. Love to have more. I work full time but have flexibility to either work from home or make my own schedule. While I would love to do this all week full time, I would prefer shorter stays, preferable long weekends for now. No fenced yard as we just moved. Toddler, husband, and 3 friendly dogs; 14 year old, 9 year old and 1 year old. All love to play with others when we dog sit.
“Phenomenal dog sitter. I boarded my two dogs with Jeffrey for Christmas week. He provided updates and pictures each day in a consistent and clear manner. He took great care of my dogs, and my dogs always have fun with Jeffrey's dog, Lily. I will continue to hire Jeffrey as my main dog sitter for as long as possible.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Riverside is $55
Pet 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.
Leanne and Mark took such great care of Lucky. They were SO accommodating and helped me figure out the back and forth logistics with getting Lucky to/from their house when I was going to be on vacation and also kept an extra close eye on a sensitive spot on his skin and helped us avoid having it turn into a hot spot. SO grateful for their care and how helpful they were to both myself and Lucky.
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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. 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.
