“Kyri was an excellent dog sitter for Clover! She responded promptly to messages, including my late request for booking, and provided updates and pics of Clover while I was away. She was very accommodating for my senior blind dog and gave her medication (my dog is also diabetic and requires insulin). It was easy to coordinate pick-up and drop-off times. I did not worry about Clover's well being while I was away. I will definitely book with Kyri again!”
“I boarded my cat Phoebe for several days with Mariah. She took excellent care of her and my cat seemed at ease with her and her home. She was responsive to my messages and sent daily photos. I would recommend Mariah for pet boarding.”
“Amber was a fantastic sitter! Her house is set up perfectly for dogs; it even has a a cute yard if you dogs get a case of the zoomies. I also received regular updates with pictures. Definitely would re-book if I was staying in the area!”
“KAREN IS AWESOME!!! I can’t rave how comfortable I felt leaving my babies with her and they obviously had a great time as my anxious and very shy dog tried to stay with her lol that told me everything I needed to know ! I will definitely book again and every-time we need a sitter !”
“Nate and Whitney were one of the greatest first experiences to have using the rover app they took such good care of us and constantly gave us updates as to anything that was going on. They will definitely be my first choice the next time I use the service 10 out of 10.”
“Pietro was absolutely amazing!! Maple is nervous around men but she was so comfortable with him. He sent plenty of pictures and videos and even kept her a few hours longer to help me out since I broke my leg. Would definitely recommend!!”
“We LOVE LOVE Katherine!! She’s so good with our girls! They love her and are so comfortable in her home! We are absolutely blessed to have her! Thank you Katherine for everything you do.. 💕💕💕”
“Amber is very good with Asher. He is a bit skittish and she knows how to handle him. Any other time I had taken Asher to be boarded, he came back a little different and less trusting. Not so with Amber. When I bring him home after being with her, he goes quickly back to his old self. I see no new behaviors.. He’s his lovable self and that says a lot for the care she gives him.”
“Amanda was amazing with my pup Lucy! She sent me daily pictures & made sure Lucy got plenty of love & snuggles. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, & I’m so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. I’d trust Amanda with Lucy anytime!”
About: I've been a devoted dog parent to my own pup for 3 years, who truly means the world to me. Caring for her has taught me how important patience, gentleness, consistency, exercise, and affection are for a happy dog. I’ve also volunteered with rescue shelters and animal sanctuaries, helping care for dogs and supporting animals in need. Through those experiences, I’ve become comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. Dogs have always had a special place in my life, and I treat every dog like family. Whether we’re out on an adventure or relaxing on the couch, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Flexible for your pup's needs. Hours of outside play time - including a morning walk, an afternoon trip to the park for running and playing, and an evening walk. Easily adjustable to your pup's energy level. My home is a calm and dog-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and playtime. I have a friendly and playful dog to keep your pup company. Dogs always have access to fresh water, comfortable resting spots, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they're happy and comfortable.
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“First time using Rover and had a great experience. Ryan and his son took great care of Cerby and he came back home happy and playful as ever. Will definitely schedule with them again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 I took care of him like he was a human being. I love taking care of dogs 🐩 I am currently a full time college student and I am looking for a part time job to help fulfill my schedule and why not spend it doing something i really would enjoy doing I have a nice fielded area where the dog can go for walks and play and use the bathroom in my home I would offer that the dogs are potty trained and comes with the dog food and treats to help me take care of your fury cute companion
“Anna was AMAZING! So thankful we were able to leave our dog with her. He always gets sick to stomach after/when we are gone. He had no problems!! With this I am certain she kept him calm and stress free! It was such a joy to have someone who understood his behavior and used effective ways to help him stay calm!”
“My pups were so well loved and happy! I highly recommend Tara! She is very intentional about the care she provides, listening to care instructions and ensuring they’re implemented. Lucky dogs ( or cats) who get her care!”
“Vicki took great care of our Shih Tzu while we were on vacation. He is a rescue and can be nervous in new situations. She was as patient and loving with our dog and sent us frequent updates that eased our anxiety about leaving him behind.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Riverside is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Juneau had a GREAT time with Pietro & his 2 dogs. He really enjoyed the continuation of his daily walks we provide at home. Pietro sent photos of Juneau getting exercise and relaxing. He looked very comfortable in his temporary home while we were on vacation. Thanks for taking such care of him!
Arlissa came highly recommended by a friend, and we are so thankful to have found her! We needed a more home like environment for our aging dog who began to struggle at the boarding facility. Both he and our younger dog seemed to have had a great time with her. We received daily (sometimes multiple times a day) updates, adorable photos, and questions/concerns about health/skin- which we appreciated her attention to detail. The pups came back relaxed, clean, and not as spun up and anxious as in previous stays at boarding facilities. We will absolutely be booking with her again, and recommending her to friends.
They took great care of our pup. The communications were fantastic. We got daily updates. Due to a major flight delay we would have been very late picking our dog up. Mahamat was very helpful both offering to figure a way to extend the booking or getting our dog ready early so our son could pick him up and take him to our house. I would 100% use them again and recommend them.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Riverside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $38.85 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 395 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.
88% 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 OH 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.
