“This was my first time using the Rover app, and we were a little nervous about finding a sitter for our Charlie. Niella was so reassuring and accommodating. She was so communicative, and responded so fast to all of our questions. She sent updates, pictures, and the sweetest videos of Charlie with her beautiful family. I will definitely be a repeat customer in the future. Niella is the best! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Niella and family!”
“2nd time utilizing Amber and will continue to do so! I have no worries when I go out of town leaving my pup here. They spoil him rotten and send me all the pictures. They even tried a sound machine to calm him down during the storm which I thought was super sweet and took a last minute booking for me. Very grateful to have them as our sitter! Would absolutely recommend to everyone.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Myra was great with our fur babies. She took excellent care of them while we were on vacation. We received updates and pictures letting us know they were happy and in good hands. I would definitely recommend using her. And we will be using her the next time we go on vacation.”
About: I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog while you’re away. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos. I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and others and am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so their stay feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. 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.
“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!”
“I highly recommend Greg, I had a short-notice trip and he took great care of Kitsune while I was away. Gregory was reliable and communicative in sending me updates. I will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Alysia is a great sitter for our pup Max! She was very careful and considerate when we first introduced him to her dogs, and they all play well together. Max comes home tired and happy! She's responsive and always sends photos and updates. We feel very comfortable trusting her with watching our boy!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“This is the first time we tried using Rover. I was more then pleased with the whole experience. Joanne was extremely friendly and welcoming to our dog. She sent us pictures and updates which set my mind at ease about leaving our older dog with someone unfamiliar to her. Our dog seemed happy when we picked her up. I would definitely have Joanne watch our dog again if needed.”
About: Hi! I have owned several of my own dogs. I have taken care of many friends dogs and I love dogs and animals in general! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my kids so I can give your dogs lots of time and personal care. Would love to take care of your dog! I have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs but they are very well trained. I live right by a park too and I go on daily walks!
“Bill was great, we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with him for the week. He was able to give our dog his medication, took him on daily walks, and gave him lots of love and attention!”
“We really appreciated Joe watching our two dogs! He was incredibly kind and provided updates so we knew they were doing well. He went above and beyond accommodating a later pickup when our flight was delayed. Thank you, Joe!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Riverside is $40

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.
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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
