“The BEST pet sitter in the area! I’ve used several sitters and interviewed several more - without a doubt, her family treated my girl as one of their own! I had picks sent during her stay, and constant communication that shows she loves what she does ❤️. I even got a progress report and jump drive of videos and picks of her stay. My go to from now on! Thank you and I will be using you again, and again, and again 😍😊”
“It was only one night but I am beyond pleased!! Karen updated me constantly and sent pictures. She treated my babies just as her own. I have to say my boys refuse to eat anywhere but home (even when they come with us) and there was absolutely no issue there. They had so much play time and came home completely exhausted. I’m a little jealous how much they loved it with here. I’m surprised they wanted to come home. Absolutely can not recommend Karen enough! I will be using her again. Thank you for taking such great care of them!”
“Nate and Whitney were great with my Australian Shepherd. They kept me updated with pictures and I could tell that he was well exercised while I was away. I will definitely be contacting them again if I need to go out of town and can't take Ozzie with me!”
“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.. 💕💕💕”
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
“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!!”
“Ashley treated my pup to a great stay by taking the time to learn about him beforehand, maintaining his routines, and meeting his (often excessive) demands for belly rubs and snuggles. She provided me with updates and photos too. An overall great experience!!”
“Meeko stayed with Jennifer for the first time last week and we were so happy with our experience. She has a big beautiful family so there is no shortage of love given to your pet. But between her own dogs and others boarding, Meeko had the best time playing with all of them and Jennifer sent plenty of photos and updates. We will absolutely use her services again I highly recommend her!”
“Our pup, Sokka, absolutely loves Ryan which is helpful since our dog has anxiety around other dogs (so kennel boarding is a very stressful experience). We really appreciate that Ryan also takes Sokka on walks and dog park visits if he's able to do so. We highly recommend Ryan for boarding!”
“Carly and her husband took such wonderful care of my pup! He is a ball of energy but that didn’t seem to bother them one bit. I felt at ease knowing wally was in good hands while I was on vacation, and I received plenty of pictures to get me through my week without him. I’m so thankful for the attention and care they gave wally, and I know he appreciated the play time with Carly’s beagle, willow. I returned to one healthy and happy pup!!”
“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!”
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
“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.”
“Was a last minute weekend stay for my dog and quickly felt comfortable with him staying there. She shared photos of dogs playing together and was quite responsive if ever messaged.”
“Tammy was wonderful! This is our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family! We had a meet and greet with Tammy prior to our trip! Mila and Sasha seemed happy and had friends to play with. Tammy was more than accommodating with our care requests and sent us pics and updates during our time away! Thanks again!”
“My dogs loved going to Rachel's house. They stayed for one night on a last minute booking. Rachel was very responsive to texts through the booking and stay, and even worked with us when we had car troubles and had to pick the dogs up later than expected. My dogs seemed very comfortable and happy there. I'd definitely use her again!”

Nate and Whitney are great and their girls are super sweet. Artemis felt right at home, as was evident by the regular photos I received. Communication was easy and if there were any concerns they were immediately addressed. I have already booked them again to watch my pup.
We absolutely love Ashleigh and Bill! We know our girl is taken care of and treated like family while we are gone. They are so easy to work with and we love the updates we get from them. Will continue to use their services in the future. Thank you so much! It’s so nice to have peace of mind with your fur baby when you’re away.
Emily was great when it came to watching my dog! She was very responsive throughout the stay and sent lots of photos and updates, which we appreciated. I also loved that she let him relax on the bed and couch since that’s what he’s used to at home. It was clear he was well cared for and comfortable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience with Jacob. We were pretty nervous about leaving Reina since she’s a rescue and can be a little anxious around new people, but Jacob immediately put us at ease. He took the time to meet with us beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes about Reina’s routine, what she likes, and her do’s and don’ts. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. While we were away, he kept us updated with plenty of pictures and communicated with us consistently, which made a huge difference and allowed us to actually relax on our trip. Every update showed us that Reina was being well cared for and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, communicative, and truly cares about your dog, we highly recommend Jacob. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!
Kathy took amazing care of my dog while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was dependable, kind, and clearly loves animals. I received updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind, and when I came home, my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can completely trust with my pet. I highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for treating my dog like family!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 401 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.
86% 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.
