“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“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!”
“Jeanie loves dogs and it shows in the sweet way she cares for them. The pictures she sent while our dog was there showed how content and happy she was with Jeanie. What an outstanding dog sitter and all around genuine person! She responds right away and goes above and beyond to help things work well for your particular situation!! We will be using her whenever we need a sitter and she is available.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I’ve also watched dogs for friends, family, and others who needed someone they could trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving plenty of love and attention. I also have a 4-year-old who absolutely loves animals and has grown up around dogs. Caring for animals is something we both enjoy, and your dog will be treated with lots of love and attention while in my care. I understand every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I work full time, but when I’m not at work I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. My daughter and I love spending time outside, going on walks, and playing in our large yard, so your dog can enjoy plenty of activity and playtime with us. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and get outside. I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine, and my daughter and I will give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“Rio was very well taken care of! She stayed with Greg and his family for over a week and got to play so much!! Greg sent lots of updates and we had no issues with drop off or pick up. Definitely recommend!”
“Once again and as always, Alyssa was great! My guy has developed some dominance/reactivity issues since his last stay, she was still perfectly willing to take him and confident in her handling. She sent me a video after his drop off to help eaise my concerns. Will definitely use her 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
“Rachel and her family treated my dog very well! Look forward to hiring again. I appreciate how she stepped up in a pinch after my reserved sitter wasn’t able to watch two days before Christmas/same day I was flying out.”
About: My partner Anthony and I have extensive pet care experience through house sitting for several families, caring for a wide variety of dogs with different needs and personalities. We've looked after dogs who require a high level of care, including administering medication, following strict routines, and maintaining consistent feeding and walking schedules. We've also cared for easy-going pets who simply need companionship, exercise, and lots of love. We pride ourselves on being attentive, reliable, and adaptable, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Erin works close to home, so she can come back and care for the dogs during the workday. I am available for boarding on weekends, depending on my schedule. We will make sure your dog is well taken care of! We have a fun, friendly, energetic dog to keep your dog company. We have a partially fenced-in yard, but I will never leave your dog outside alone. We only want to accept dogs that do well/get along with other dogs for the safety of our dog, Ozzy, and ourselves.
“Niella’s family and her two dogs wore our high-energy pup out, she was schlumped for two days after we picked her up! Niella gave us updates throughout the 4-day stay and was very responsive. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a sitter!”
“Joe did a great job with my two dogs while we were out of town for a week. It was our first time leaving them in someone else’s home but we felt very comfortable and they were well taken care of! Will absolutely use Joe again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember. They’ve always held a special place in my heart. I offer flexibility like no other, as I work from home for my day job. Let me treat your animals the way i’d treat mine, nothing but love and respect! I currently work a hybrid schedule. Some days i’m in the office until 4pm, monday and fridays I work from home, leaving me tons of time to look after your animals! Weekends are typically free. I’m also very flexible on what I offer. You need a house sitter for a getaway weekend? I’m your guy! You need a drop in for bathroom break/walk during the week, I’m your guy! I have a fully fenced in backyard with a very good amount of space. I have 2 cats that love all animals. If i’m coming to your home, it will be treated with the same respect and standards I have for my own. Very clean, safe, and trustworthy!
“We were so happy with Dallas' care. Joanne sent me several texts updating me on how he was doing and she included many pictures. Her children played with Dallas and loved him like he was their own. We will definitely book with Joanne and her family again.”
“Dulce loves staying with Aubrey! Aubrey is always caring and responsive. I highly recommend her and her awesome skill with my dog and all the other new dog friends Dulce has made while under Aubrey's careful and loving watch ?”
“This was a long time stay for my doggies. I wasn't sure how well they would do. Also this was in the winter. They both did great and that is because of the excellent care they were receiving from Arlissa. Arlissa is family and Murphy and Archer were fully fuctional. Of course when they came home, they passed out but no post issues to speak of. Thanks Arlissa for your love and care for Mrphy and Archer!!”

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!
Arlissa was wonderful with Romeo! She sent photos and updates throughout his stay and even kept track of when he had his medicine, which meant a lot. Romeo seemed completely comfortable with her, and that says everything. We’ll definitely be booking with Arlissa 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.
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!
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 Pet Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $38.85 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 418 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riverside. About 91% 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.
