“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“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!”
“OMG, I cannot say enough positive things about Karen. We've only had her watch our dogs twice, but I'm already looking to have Karen watch my fur babies again. She instantly makes me feel at ease when it comes to leaving my pups in her hands. She sends tons of pictures and keeps me updated on what they are up to. Most recently, she made an official dog play area for them. Seriously, it's nicer than the play areas at Petsmart. I know my pups had a great time spending time with Karen and the other dogs.”
“Jennifer treats your dog as if they're part of her own family. Her genuine love for animals truly shine through. We were beyond impressed with her care and attention! We'll absolutely be back!”
“Katherine was great! She treated our Rudy just like he was her own. She let him snuggle on the couch, and she has the best backyard that the dogs can use. She sent us pictures and video updates. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Ashlee was amazing with our pup. Reign has a tendency to be extremely timid and shy with new people and surroundings. However, she didn’t hesitate to go with Ashlee when we left and didn’t want to get in the car when we picked her up. Being around other dogs seemed to help with socialization as well. She came home a lot more confident from her experience. We will definitely be using her again for our boarding needs.”
“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.”
“Nathan had a blast! Because normally he gets scared going with strangers but the second day he didn’t even bother to look back. They are amazing with Nathan and great with communicating about him as well.”
“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!”
“Sierra was amazing took great care of our Luna sent us texts and pictures throughout our trip it made our trip so much more enjoyable knowing Luna was happy and being taken care of. We've already booked again with sierra.”
“Carly was so great with my pup! She was very welcoming to us and made me feel like Lady would be like a member of the family during her stay. She also texted me a photo that night, which was great because I was really missing my furbaby and reassured me that she was doing okay! Very flexible on pickup/dropoff as well. Will definitely work with Carly in the future!”
“Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!”
“Jeanie was wonderful with our cockapoo Lily, who has a lot of anxiety, when she took care of her for 4 days. Jeanie even did her errands ahead of time so she wouldn't have to leave Lily alone. She went beyond the call of duty! Thank you so much Jeanie!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“EMILY was great you could tell she really loved dogs. And it was really great to get pictures and videos while I was away. I’m sure Gracie was well taken care of while she was there as well as having to playmates to hang out with.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Riverside is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Kyri was fantastic taking care of my big boy, Prince, while we were on vacation. Prince had never been looked after by anyone other than my wife and i, and my parents. It is a huge relief knowing that there is someone else i can go to when i need someone to look after him. Kyri sent videos/pictures every day of my vacation with updates, and she and her family were very kind and caring. You won't be disappointed choosing her! Highly recommend!
I was away for 8 days and loved seeing Teddy happily running and playing in Katherine’s fenced in backyard! Teddy loved playing with Katherine’s pets. She even gave her real chicken! Since we have returned home, Teddy is so calm and happy. I know that this is because she was treated so well at Katherine’s house! 🐶❤️☺️
Karen was fantastic! My dogs, two larger breeds, enjoyed hanging out with her and the other dogs and got lots of outside time. I got pictures of my pups several times a day and she gave them rotisserie chicken with their meals. If I need my dogs watched again, I will definitely go back to her inbox!
An absolute gem! Highly recommend Emily! This was my dog Lionel’s very first stay with Emily, and she exceeded every expectation. She took such wonderful care of him and made him feel right at home. Emily was incredibly diligent with his schedule, making sure he got his medications right on time. She went above and beyond to make him comfortable—even letting Lionel cuddle up and use her own dog's bed! She kept him active and happy playing his favorite game of fetch, and I absolutely loved receiving the frequent photos and videos she sent throughout his stay. It gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I came to pick Lionel up, he was one happy, relaxed pup. It’s clear Emily treated him like family. I will absolutely be booking with her again, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a loving, attentive, and reliable pet sitter!
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.

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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
87% of sitters in Riverside can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
