“Anders was amazing with Jaxon! Easy to book last minute, prompt and reliable, and available for a quick meet up with my pup to make sure everything went smoothly. I think Jaxon has a new best friend!”
“Eden has been walking my Finn now for two weeks (as I’m recovering from surgery). She has been wonderful - reliable, upbeat, and obviously great with dogs. I highly recommend Eden and look forward to being a “repeat customer”. Thank you Eden!”
“Janice is a true dog lover! My Sophie (normally a little timid with new people) took to her very quickly and loves her walks with Janice. And I enjoy the peace of mind knowing Sophie will have a chance to get outside and have a little companionship when I’m away at work. And I look forward to the Rover cards with pictures of their time together. I would absolutely recommend Janice without hesitation!”
About: Hello! My name is Veru, and I run a private, small family-owned home dog retreat in Riverside, RI. I work from home full-time and live a very active lifestyle, which allows me to provide flexible, attentive, and personalized care throughout the day. I began offering my services through Rover and have worked with many different pets of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds. I also have previous experience providing pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for friends and family. Your dog will stay in a calm, clean, cage-free home never in loud kennels or overcrowded facilities. I design each stay around your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. My daughter, a college student, works by my side and can also provide in-home care at your residence if preferred, allowing your pet to remain in their familiar environment. What makes us different: • No cages • No strict restrictions or time limits • We follow your routine — or can implement ours • Park trips, neighborhood walks, bike-path walks, and beach walks (weather permitting) • Apartment complex dog park access • Limited dogs, full attention • Daily photo & video updates Your dog becomes part of our home, many guests even sleep with me for extra comfort, unless you prefer they sleep in their own bed. What to bring: Just your dog’s food, favorite snacks, favorite toy and their bed if they prefer their own — we provide the love, walks, play, rest, and care. 📍 Riverside, RI Boarding • Daycare • Private Walks • Pick-Up & Drop-Off I have a remote job, If you are hiring me for housesitting / daycare / boarding, you can sure l will likely be with your pet all day long. Note: My daycare rate is $45 for stays between 1 and 10 hours. If care extends beyond 10 hours, an extended care fee of $25 will apply. The final total is calculated and adjusted at the end of the booking based on the actual pickup time. Your pup’s trust and comfort are my top priority. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Every pet has a unique personality and individual needs, and I take the time to understand and accommodate each one. For added safety and peace of mind, I also use GPS tracking during walks and outings until your pet is safely returned to you.

About: Hi, I have a flexible daytime schedule, I want to help dogs feel safe and secure, especially while you are away from them. I realize that most dogs do better with consistency and structure. I have an arsenal of strategies to keep dogs busy and well mannered. No more rambunctious dog when you arrive home, no more town up couches and no more stress for a lonely dog. We have a toddler who adores all dogs. For this reason, we ask for only those with kid-friendly dogs to request care. I have experience in the dog industry and I will absolutely care for your dog as if it were my own fur baby. I eagerly await your message and I look forward to meeting you and your dog very soon. If you have any other questions please reach out ASAP.
About: If you find yourself busy or cannot fit in a middle of the day, walk for your dog. No need to worry because that's where I come in handy! I'm a huge animal lover and always have been! I have flexible weekend hours that allow you to be worry-free on busy days. $20 for a 30 min. walk & an additional $5 to walk a 2nd dog at the same time from the same family. Send me an email to schedule your first walk. On most Mondays will be free for long walks in the morning. If you have any questions, send me an email, I will be more than glad to answer any questions. Thanks! I work full-time on weekdays but have all weekends available.

“Natasha was great with my pup! He loved his walks and the attention she gave him. She was very professional and super quick to respond to any messages for booking. She even brought in a package for me that came during his walk which was very kind of her.”
“Chantelle has been such a wonderful dog walker for my pup. She is a good communicator and very reliable- she’s even been able to be flexible if my schedule has changed, which is amazing! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone kind to walk your pup.”
“I was in need of last minute care for Rocky and I sent a request out to a bunch of people. Amanda responded immediately and was willing to help! She made sure she understood the care instructions I provided and took him on a great walk, and most importantly he loved her. I’ll definitely be using Amanda again after the holidays.”
“Maryann was a total life saver! We had a last minute shuffle and she stepped up to the occasion and took great care of my needy dog. Esme is a particular type of cattle dog and I never worried about her with Maryann. Her updates about the walks and pictures made me feel at ease while I was at work. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Audrey was great right from the meet and greet and on! Millie, who is usually very timid, warmed up to her in seconds. Audrey was a great support walking my dog while a family member who can no longer walk her far watched her. She was extremely punctual and great with communicating all aspects of their walks. Highly recommend.”
“What a wonderful experience. I booked a 30 minute walk for my parents puppies because my older mom just needed a minute to herself. She recently got Pebbles (Aug 21) and she’s working through the motions of getting acclimated. Nicole was so quick to accommodate the request and was very flexible about the process. My mom enjoyed their interaction and really felt safe sending the dogs with her. 10/10 recommend. Fantastic experience.”
“Our regular Rover wasn't available and finding a new one is always a bit stressful, but Kierstin was both chill and communicative, so the pups and I took to her right away. Was very grateful to know she was on the job. Would certainly recommend.”
“Caprice was very responsive and handled the pups very well. The pups took a shine to her right away and she was very thorough with the instructions that I gave her! Definitely going to have her walk the pups again!”
About: I’m the first person my friends and family call when they need a sitter! I’m outgoing, engaging, and take pride in every task I do I have a lot of free time as I get out of work at 10am some days! I don’t work a full time job so I’m extremely flexible I live in a beautiful neighborhood on the east side of Providence with so many trails and walkable neighborhoods. I’m also open to coming to you for your needs!

Taylor was wonderful. We could tell she was going to be a great fit for Gus as soon as we met her. She was super responsive in all communication and asked questions I had not thought of! Would highly recommend her to others and we’ll be checking to see if she’s free for our next trip!
Brooke did a drop in visit for a couple of days in a row and was amazing with our two dogs! She was timely and very communicative. Her updates are the best! The dogs both really liked her and enjoyed their walks (even when it was raining one day). Will definitely book again!

We couldn't be more grateful to have had Gilbert as our dog walker while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, was professional, trustworthy, and—most importantly—absolutely wonderful with our dog. Gilbert took the time to understand our dog's routine, quirks, and preferences, and it showed in how happy and relaxed our pup was when we got home. He kept us updated with photos and little notes after each visit, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Gilbert genuinely cares about the pets he works with—he treated our dog like his own. If you're looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly great with animals, we wholeheartedly recommend Gilbert. We’ll definitely be booking him again! Thank you so much, The Rebello's

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Riverside on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,056 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Riverside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Riverside. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Riverside.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverside. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
