“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!!!”
“Tammy was great with our dog Murphy. Murph had such a blast hanging out in her backyard and hanging out with her dog Sadie. We felt very comfortable leaving Murphy in her care and would highly recommend her!”
“Alysia was great with Amos! She was thoughtful about how she introduced him to her dogs and allowed me to hang around for a little while while she did so. She commented well and sent updates. Amos seemed happy and comfortable with her in her home. I would be glad to have her keep him again!”
“Joanne watched our 2 dogs, she and her family welcome them as their own. After a negative experience at a kennel, I'm so relieved to have such a wonderful caretaker for my 2 furry guys. ”
“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!”
“Derik and Megan were so patient with our St. Bernard and took every step to help her overcome some anxiety issues during her stay with them. They were communicative with us and were knowledgeable about dog behavior which played a role in being able to respond to our dog’s needs. Would absolutely go back to them!”
About: I have always loved all kinds of animals and will care for your fur babies just as well as I care for my own. I grew up with a toy poodle though I would have loved to have more pets. Currently, my husband and I have two small dogs but I love dogs and cats of all sizes. I have experience with caring for older dogs as well as very young puppies. I am familiar with pad training and kennel training as well. I would love to take care of your pets and am more than willing to accommodate their needs! I stay at home full time with my 6 month old. So, my time for your pets is very flexible. I am also able to bathe and/or groom your dogs if that is a service you would like. I have a bath price set but I’m open to conversations about that and other grooming services you would like to add. I do all the grooming for my dogs including haircuts, nail clipping, and deshedding. I have two very friendly dogs, but I do have enough space/baby gates to keep my dogs separate from yours if necessary. I have a fully fenced backyard and a very walkable neighborhood. So, your dogs will have plenty of opportunities for exercise. My dogs are kennel trained and sleep with us in bed, but I will respect whatever pet rules you have in your home.
“Rebecca, Ethan, and their lovely family were amazing with our older dog! We are so grateful for their kindness and the care they took to let us know how well our pup was doing with them.”
“Jeanie worked out great! We had to switch our sitter for Linus last minute and am so happy she was available. Great communication and no issues. Seemed like she had a really great time with our pup! Would reccomend.”
“Thank you! My dog was happy when she came home. I could tell she just had a fun weekend. Rebecca did a fantastic job looking after my child. She kept me updated the whole time and sent me pictures. My dog had the biggest smile on her face in every picture. I’m also a little crazy when it comes to feeding and Rebecca clearly followed my instructions (this is a big deal for me). If you book through Rebecca, your puppy will definitely be in good hands!”
“This is the first time we have ever boarded a fur baby in someone’s home. We were very nervous. Our dog has stitches and needed meds during his stay and Karin was able to accommodate his needs! She was also awesome at sending us pictures and updates. It was great seeing him having fun! We will definitely be using her again! We will even do some doggy daycare since our dogs are besties now!”
“Arlissa took amazing care of our baby akira! Constant updates with pictures and videos to ensure a stress free vacation for us knowing our baby was being taken care of so well. And when we picked her up she was given a bath and brushed! That was so nice of her, she goes above and beyond for her clients and their fur babies. Highly recommend! And I will suggest to all of my friends!”
“When I first met Carly, I immediately felt I could trust her and was convinced my dog would be in great hands with her. It was the first we ever let our dog to someone and we could not have wished for a better person to take care of him. In all the pictures she sent us, he looked at ease, perfectly content and, more important, loved. I highly recommend Carly and her husband.”
“Tami was wonderful with our poodle! She was good at communicating with us during our time away, and it was reassuring coming home to an unstressed dog. Thank you, Tami! Hopefully Tami will allow us to share our dog with her again.”
“Catherine and Adam did a great job. They sent pictures and updates to let me know how my dog was doing each day. They were very nice people and I was worried about someone new but they made sure I was comfortable with his care. I would recommend them very much but don't want to because I need them free for my doggie. LOL. Thank you very much for them. Also plane was late and they were nice about keeping him when I was in trouble. They get 100% super.”
About: Keeping tails wagging and minds happy with love and attention. I believe every pet deserves love, fun, and focus because they’re family too! Puppy care, special needs support, brain games, training, and exercise. Walks, bathing, agility playtime, brain games, specialized training and more! Because I have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, I’m able to provide attentive, low-stress care and companionship for your furry family members 24/7. My workday typically ends by 2:00 PM, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, and any training or routines you’d like to maintain. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Your pup will have plenty of room to play in my large, fully fenced backyard featuring a secure 6-foot locked privacy fence. Inside, I’ve created a safe and comfortable environment with sturdy baby gates that restrict access to the kitchen and bathrooms while giving dogs plenty of space to relax and explore. I share my home with three well-socialized dogs and one cat. My cat has a separate area that is completely inaccessible to the dogs, ensuring everyone has their own safe space. Because I know that new environments can sometimes lead to a few accidents—especially during the first day or two as pets adjust—I have hardwood floors throughout most of my home for quick and easy cleanup without added stress. I have crates in a variety of sizes available if your dog is crate-trained or if you’d prefer they have a quiet, secure space. Dogs are welcome on my furniture because I believe they’re family, but I’m happy to follow your household rules. Whether your pup sleeps in a crate, on a dog bed, or cuddled on the couch, I’ll keep their routine as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. My neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic, making it ideal for safe, enjoyable walks. There’s also a nearby dog park for dogs who enjoy extra opportunities to exercise and socialize (with your permission). My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like one of my own.
About: I've taken care of puppies and senior dogs for 6 years. Mainly for my relatives, friends and coworkers. Now I'm ready to branch out. I have more experience with senior dog care but I do have some knowledge in puppy training and care. I've only taken care of two cats. I'm a stay at home mom and could easily take care of 1-2 dogs at a time. My schedule is flexible. I wake up early and go to bed early for my baby. My husband and I own a duplex with an unfenced yard. Your fur baby will have there own apartment while boarding with us. I'm basically using our upstairs unit as a dog bed and breakfast. I can regularly check on them, take them out for potty breaks and walks in my neighborhood.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Riverside is $40
Pet 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 400 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riverside. About 92% 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 OH 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.
