“Cherylee and Steven are really amazing! They took great care of my pet, Benben. Every day, they sent me pictures of Benben, so I knew he was happy and safe. Benben felt very comfortable with them, like he was at home. I am very thankful for their help. I will book with them again next time for sure!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember—big, small, young, old, and nearly every breed in between. Currently, I’m the proud pet parent to two senior dogs, which means I know firsthand how to give older pups the gentle patience, calm environment, and extra care they deserve. Since I work from home, my schedule is wide open for playtime, belly rubs, and hanging out with your wigglebutts—big or small! With all-day supervision, timely potty breaks, and meals served right on schedule, you can rest easy knowing your furry babies are living their best, happiest lives while you're away. 🐾 Welcome to your pup’s home away from home! 🐾 Here is what makes our spot the ultimate pet paradise: • The Zoomie Zone: We have a fully fenced-in backyard ready for all the fetch and sniffing your dog's heart desires. • The Chill Out Lounge: Got a shy fur baby or someone who just needs a break from my own pups? Our secure, quiet den is the perfect peaceful retreat. • Travel Light: Don't stress about packing heavy! We are fully stocked with extra toys, cozy blankets, and comfy kennels if your pup prefers their own safe sleeping space at night or while I'm out running quick errands. • Double the Love: The best part? I have a built-in assistant! My teen son is a certified animal lover who is always down for playtime and belly rubs. Your pet will never feel lonely here!
“Caley had a rough start to the week. She's getting older, and requires more attention. Celina kept us in the loop, but we thought we might have to come home. We and Celina came up with a plan that allowed us to stay on vacation, and Celina handled Caley like a pro! We appreciate that so much! Sorry for the sleepless nights.”
“Tara provided a great experience for Penny when she boarded. She was very attentive, kept her current on her medications and sent along pictures to keep her mom satisfied she was in good hands!”
“Lisa is an amazing sitter! She sent lots of updates and I knew that my dog was in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to have her watch my dog again.”
“Qulynda was great! She took such great care of our dog while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend using Qulynda if you’re looking for someone to care for your furry one!”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my goldendoodle with Shawn! From the very beginning, she was incredibly cooperative and informative, which made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She took the time to answer all my questions and provided updates while I was away, which I really appreciated. Her huge fenced yard is perfect for dogs to run around and play safely, and I could tell my dog absolutely loved the space. Shawn clearly cares deeply for the pets she looks after, and it shows in the way she manages everything so thoughtfully. I highly recommend Shawn to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Katie and Sarah are great sitters! They’ve become our pup’s favorite destination while we’re away. They’re responsive, flexible, and kind. And their dog is super friendly!”
“Jean is an absolutely incredible sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is loved, cared for and feels safe during their stay. We can always tell after each visit how much sugar has loved her stay with Jean, and there are many video and photo updates to take the stress away.”
“Marilyn was an absolute blessing! She accepted Smoky last minute after my original sitter canceled while I was here visiting from Florida for a family vacation. From the moment I met her, I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving him in her care. She kept me updated, sent pictures, took him on walks, and made sure he was happy and engaged. It was obvious Smoky truly enjoyed his time with her. She even told me he was such a joy and hated to see him leave, which meant so much to me and showed how much she truly cared for him. I truly appreciated the love and care she gave him. The next time I bring Smoky home, Marilyn will absolutely be my first and only choice. Highly recommend her!”
“Elba has been nothing but incredible. She has been great at communicating and making sure I know how my dogs are doing. One of my dogs requires a lot of patience after suffering from a traumatic brain injury, Elba has gone above and beyond to meet my dog where she’s at. I’m very grateful and content with the services Elba has provided.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Daniel! He was wonderful with our Eliza, but what really stood out was his incredibly thoughtful communication. We could tell he cared about making her stay full of love, care and belly rubs. His updates with photos made being away so much easier, and we picked up our girl knowing she was in excellent hands. Highly recommend!
Anne was great at sending me photos and updates on Maizie's stay for the better part of 3 weeks, gave her ear drops and allergy chews daily and was also very accommodating about the possibility that my trip could be canceled. From the look of the photos, Maizie made new friends with Anne's dogs and had a great time! I'm glad to find someone I trust to care for her if I'm away and would highly recommend her.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Gabby and Mike. They were incredibly supportive and confident caring for our dog, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Their two dogs are just as calm and gentle as they are, creating a really comfortable environment. We received daily photo updates, which meant so much to us. When our dog became picky with his food, they HAND FED him to make sure he was eating. If you have the opportunity to book with them, your pet will be exceptionally well cared for.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Riverside is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 1,141 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Riverside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
94% 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverside. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 RI 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
