“Thank you very much for treating my dogs with such love and care Michelle! So happy to see my dogs back - they look like they had an awesome time with you !”
“Steven was great, taking on a last minute reservation for my dog when my friend who was going to stay with her fell and hurt herself. It was reassuring to me that Brooke was with a nice and caring family while I was away. I will definitely contact Steven again!”
“Kyleigh B is very attentive and she sent me lots of great pictures of my Jack. I would not hesitate boarding Jack with Kyleigh again. Jack got lots of cuddles and play time, and my husband and I were very appreciative of her attention to Jack.”
“Repeat client here! We love how communicative Yunshu is! We got so many videos and pictures while we were away, which was great. She goes the extra mile and brushes our dog, cuddles her, and keeps her calm during thunderstorms. We feel lucky to have found her for our dog.”
“Angelina was a spectacular host! She sent constant updates, was flexible, had a great set-up, and most importantly gave a lot of love to my girls. 10/10 would highly recommend! Thank you Angelina! I would also note she was able to accomodate (in my circumstances) a last minute, 3 week stay for my pups which is unheard of. That speaks to her heart and caring nature!”
“Grace is great! She took the time to meet me and my dog ahead of time to make sure they were a good fit. She sent lots of photos and videos of Willie out on walks and at the park. It seems like he had a fun weekend thanks to Grace!”
“Arya, my floofy samoyed, loved loved staying with Zoe. She took Arya on many hikes, even got her a christmas present, and sent me many photos showing how relaxed Arya was. Can't recommend her enough”
“We trust shes in good hands with Xavier. He sends us pictures and updates and she's happy as ever when we drop her off (she usually is not very excited by humans, but is excited when she sees Xavier).”
“Kat is absolutely fantastic!!! Our dogs had a great stay with her, she even sent us pictures and videos of our boys each day! Kat is so nice, her home is so welcoming to dogs and she is incredibly responsive!! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Jackie was so great! I really appreciate all the pictures she sent during the stay and I could tell Mya had an absolute blast. I would definitely book Jackie again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. 10/10 experience :)”
“Your dog is in great hands with Malerie and her family. They treated my pup as she was thier own. She provided photos and videos the whole time. I would use her again in a heart beat”
About: Animals have always held a very special place in my heart. I believe our pets are so much more than just animals; they are family, loyal companions, and beautiful souls who bring unconditional love into our lives. Having shared my own life with beloved bulldogs and cats over the years, I understand just how precious they are and how important it is to know they are safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. With 25 years of pet-sitting experience, I offer compassionate, dependable, and personalized care for both cats and dogs. Every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and little quirks, and I take the time to honor and understand each one. Whether it's gentle cuddles, playful moments, peaceful companionship, or simply making sure they feel secure in their own surroundings, I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are being treated with the same love, patience, kindness, and respect they receive from you. Because to me, pet sitting isn't just a service — it's a privilege to be trusted with a piece of someone's heart. 🐶🐱💕 As a self-employed shamanic practitioner, herbalist, and massage therapist, I have been blessed to create a life and career centered around healing, compassion, connection, and caring for others. One of the beautiful benefits of being self-employed is having a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of extra time to dedicate to pet sitting. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and find their presence incredibly grounding, peaceful, and healing. I believe animals are beautiful souls who deserve the same love, kindness, patience, and respect that we give one another. Because I create my own schedule, I have the freedom to be present and attentive, offering your furry companions plenty of affection, companionship, and individualized care rather than simply stopping in and rushing out. Pet sitting is something that fits naturally into my lifestyle and brings me so much joy. Being able to spend my days surrounded by animals, nature, and healing energy is truly a gift, and I would be honored to share that love and care with your beloved pets Being outdoors and connecting with nature is a huge part of my life, and I absolutely love sharing that joy with our four-legged friends! Hiking, exploring wooded trails, visiting parks, and enjoying the fresh air are some of my favorite things to do. I also have a Sprinter van, which makes it possible to take your furry companions on fun dog-friendly excursions and outdoor adventures, always keeping their individual needs, comfort, and safety in mind. I live in a cozy, pet-friendly apartment conveniently located near beautiful parks and green spaces, offering plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime, and exploration. Whether your dog is an adventurous soul who loves hiking through the woods or a gentle homebody who prefers leisurely strolls, belly rubs, and snuggling up for some quiet time, I am happy to accommodate their unique personality. I believe animals thrive when they feel loved, safe, and connected to the world around them. My goal is to make their time with me feel like a little vacation of their own, filled with love, adventure, companionship, and plenty of wagging tails!
About: Working from home and embracing my love of animals has been a dream come true! I have taken care of many pets through Rover, as well as animals who have belonged to family members and friends for over 9 years now. I recently bought a new home and changed locations from my co-owner prompting a new account. Through rover I have cared for a variety of pets with anxieties of every shape and form so please do not hesitate to reach out and see if i can accompany your family’s needs. In my home your pets will experience a lot of hands on time as well as daily adventures around the grassy neighborhood and sometimes to Lincoln woods(weather permitting). My yard is entirely fenced in with hedges obstructing view of the neighbors yards giving the dogs a private sanctuary to relax. You may contact me whenever to schedule a meet and greet. If you see me available to book then feel free to shoot a message as i regularly update my availability. I have never met a dog we did not like or has not loved me with time. I am also very respectful of your house rules especially those regarding your pet(s) such as what they can eat, be on, play with, etc.. i also take a plethora of pictures/videos for you to make sure you have a worry-free time away! I work from home giving me ample time to take care of pets daily. Generally speaking I am home most days playing with the dogs, watching tv, or gaming. The dogs are rarely alone. i am almost always hanging out with the dogs ready to give care and love. If they are not lounging with me then they are exploring the neighborhood or yard. I cannot think of a single dog with anxiety that hasn’t felt at home by night 2! I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood for walks containing lots of grass multiple times per day and a fenced in yard to hang out in. Minutes away from Lincoln Woods adventures and dog parks. Some days of course can be lazy days where we stay cozy and watch a movie. I’ll accommodate your preferences :) I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know about all of your dog's dietary needs, how many times a day they should be walked, how active they usually are, any anxieties they might have, and anything else that would make their stay more comfortable. Early clients shall enjoy a star sitter at discount while I build this new account. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies. I currently work from my home. Your pets will be right by my side for most of every day whether it be watching tv, playing in the yard, or going on adventures through the grassy neighborhood, parks, and Lincoln Woods. My home has an entirely fenced in yard with hedges providing a private sanctuary your your pet to relax in. The neighborhood has lots of grassy sidewalks and shade from trees.
“Savannah was very kind, she sent lots of photo updates, and was super flexible with us during our travels. She is our new go-to dog sitter for when we go away. Thanks Savannah!”
“Roxanna was AMAZING with my furbaby! Our family had to take a long trip and Roxanna was so great making my girl feel loved and comfortable while we were away! We would definitely leave our baby with her again!”
“Sierra was great. Foxy was hesitant at first but didn't come rushing out at the end of the weekend so I think she had a good time. It might have been Sierra's heated blanket that won her over! She will be staying again next weekend so obviously I am very happy with Sierra's care.”
“We left our dog, Whidbey, with Olga for two weeks while we were on vacation, and the experience was fantastic. From day one, she made us feel completely at ease. She and her family clearly love animals, and it showed in how well they cared for him. We received regular photos and updates, which was reassuring, and Whidbey came home happy, healthy, and relaxed. We couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommended!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Riverside is $60
Pet 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.

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 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 RI 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.
