“Jovani did an amazing job, I needed a sitter on really short notice and he answered almost immediately. Really amazing communication, sent pictures throughout the day, my dog was comfortable in very short time with him. He followed all directions and was always available with any questions or concerns I had!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog Zoey! This was her second time with her. We were away on vacation for one week and felt so at ease leaving her. Her communication is great but best of all our dog feels so comfortable with her! It fav is such piece of mind knowing she was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend her and we definitely will use her again!!”
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.
“When my family goes on vacation, my dog is on vacation at Kathryn’s with her dog Rooney. I’m always getting videos and photos sent daily with updates. Kathryn is always polite, flexible and responsive.”
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!
“Matt and Leanna were amazing!! They treated my dog like family and were so communicative while he was with them. They truly went above and beyond, thank you!!!!!!”
“This is the first time we left our pittie baby overnight with someone other than family or friends. Jia is wonderful! She kept me updated with pics and texts. My dog came home happy and exhausted lol. Will be using her again!!”
“This was my first time boarding my 11 month old puppy. They were wonderful with her, she enjoyed herself and they frequently sent pictures of her so I wouldn’t be worried.”
“Very friendly and sent tons of pictures. Our little guy seemed like he had a great time and came home completely exhausted. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks!”
“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!”
“This must be our 4th visit with Hardy? Hardy and Harmony were great with our dog, while we were on vacation for 10 days. We didn’t worry at all because we know she loves it there!”
“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.”
“Mónica and her family were awesome. I left my 4 month old puppy with them overnight and they took wonderful care of her. They have a beautiful home with a very safe fenced in back yard. The 2 dogs they have are very friendly and good with other animals. I could tell from the first meeting that Mónica understands and loves dogs. I was very nervous about leaving my little girl with anyone but I would definitely use Mónica again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe happy environment for your dog if you have to go away. Regular kennels can be so stressful on a dog having your dog join someones family like this for a few days is the only way to go in my opinion.”
“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.”
“Wanda and her family were kind and accommodating while watching my dog Banjo. She ensured he was cared for throughout his stay and made him comfortable while he was anxious during thunderstorms and 4th of July fireworks. I would highly recommend Wanda for any and all pet-related needs.”
“Buttercup loved her stay with Katherine. She was very happy in all the pictures that were sent and seemed like she had a great time. The communication was amazing and would definitely recommend.”
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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,355 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riverside. About 89% of Riverside sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
