“Sierra is great! She was so communicative while we were out of town. She made sure our pup was well taken care of and was gentle in letting him acclimate to her house and other dogs. We’re so happy to have found her!”
About: Hi there! My name is Brittany. I have taken care of my friends and family’s dogs and cats since I was 16. I have experience staying over, taking dogs for walks, playing, and have cared for dogs small and large ranging from French Bulldogs and Ridgebacks and many other breeds. I also have experience with puppies and older dogs. Photos of your pet will be sent to you each visit to keep you updated on their day. I have a large rescue dog of my own named Buddy, who is the sweetest senior boy! If you’re interested in boarding your pup in my home, please note that your dog must be house-trained. Any specific requests? Let me know! Working in a hybrid position, I am able to take many small breaks throughout the day to cater to your pets needs. Whether that means going for a walk, letting outside, feeding, playing or cuddling. I always make sure to keep my clients pets well attended. Throughout my work day, I always check in with the animals and make sure they receive ample love, attention and exercise.
“Giovanni was very professional and he has a very loving home. His own pets are well cared for. He even has a 19 year old poodle mix! It’s a real testament to the TLC in the house that can bring a dog into his 19th year of life. Giovanni and my dog were fast friends and I look forward to working with him again soon.”
About: I am a high school teacher, my husband works at a local university, and we have a 9 year old son who attends school in Barrington, RI. Our family adores pets (we own 1 dog and 2 cats, all friendly rescue animals) and we are flexible on the weekends or after school for pet care/walks in our lovely town. Our friendly dog would love to play with yours in our fenced in yard! I currently work full time as a teacher so I most often have availability on weekends or school breaks (including summer). If local, I might be able to support with pet care after school during the week as well. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly rescue dog (golden retriever mix). We have two cats who roam the house freely during the day, however we also have a separate space for them in our house. We live in a beautiful town with many trails for dog walks close-by. We love doing beach walks with our dog (his favorite!).
“Wow! Our Abby had an amazing time with Jessica and Abu! It was like a really fun dog vacation! Jessica not only took care of Abby but she also had so much fun with her! I would recommend Jessica to anyone who wants their dog to enjoy their time away from the family :-)”
“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!”
“Tara was wonderful — we recommend her and would leave our dog in her care again. She communicated well and our dog was calm and happy when we picked her up after a two night stay.”
“This is my 3rd time requesting Michelle to sit my pup. She is amazing. My pup looks happier after coming back. She keeps constantly texting about his updates and pictures. I would never leave Lebron with anyone that easily due to my typical mom anxiety issues. But I can leave him with Michelle anyday 🤗 Highly recommend her.”
“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!”
About: With nearly 20 years of experience in animal rescue and a lifetime of owning dogs, caring for animals is our family’s true passion. I have successfully managed pets of all ages, sizes, and medical needs, giving us the insight to handle any situation. To provide the safest and most relaxing stay, I exclusively board one family's pets at a time. This ensures your dog gets personalized, individual care tailored exactly to their routine. Your pup will join our loving family—including my two dog-savvy kids (ages 8 and 9) and our sweet 1-year-old mixed breed, Winnie. Whether your dog thrives on quiet snuggles or loves joining us for car rides, pup cups, and hikes in the woods, we treat them just like a member of our own pack! I own my own business and work flexible part-time hours, so I can be home to provide plenty of love, play, and supervision. On the weekends, I am entirely free and dedicated to our guest pups, only stepping out briefly for our kids' sports events. Because I exclusively host one dog or one family of dogs at a time, I do not force your pets into a rigid routine. Instead, I completely tailor our daily schedule around your dog's typical feeding, playtime, and bathroom habits, ensuring they feel safe, pampered, and right at home. Safety and trust is my top priority. With nearly 20 years of experience in animal rescue, I am well-versed in canine body language, flight-risk prevention, and handling diverse medical or behavioral needs. My home sits on two acres of very secluded, peaceful property backing up to beautiful conservation land. While the yard is not fenced, this means your dog is never just left outside unsupervised; instead, I provide dedicated, hands-on attention with structured leash walks for all outdoor time. Because I exclusively host one family's pets at a time, your dog will never face the stress, unpredictable behaviors, or resource-guarding risks that come with a multi-dog pack setup. They will only share space with our gentle, dog-savvy children and our friendly, 1-year-old resident pup, Winnie.
“Boa was a wonderful sitter who watched over my baby Sunny like he was her own. Boa has a lovely home and is very kind and attentive. Her response time was also fast and communication clear. I highly recommend Boa to be the home away from home for your furry loved ones.”
“What a terrific person! Can’t say enough nice things. And so good with our dog edna. Stephanie You’re the best. Thank you and happy holidays. Give our best to Bailey and Lupita!”
About: Hello, Nadine here. Looking forward to helping you and your pets needs. I am comfortable with all size dogs and look forward to meeting you soon. I am a dog mom, a full-time banker, and in my free time I enjoy long walks and everything and anything to do in nature. I am a proud owner of a miniature schnauzer, who is 15 years old. I am open to long walks, short walks. I understand work, life balance, and the stress of not getting home to our fur babies.
“I am so thankful that my dog got to hang out with Danielle over the holiday weekend. He is a ball of energy sometimes but she was up to the task. Danielle was communicative and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to work with her again.”
“Julia was wonderful with our dog, Roma . She really enjoyed her stay and we felt confident that our pup was well cared for. We really appreciated the photos and videos as well.”
“Kyleigh was awesome, super communicative, sent a bunch of pictures, and did an absolute bang-up job watching my (slightly special needs) dog. I'll gladly work with them in the future!”
“Stitch and Bear had a great time at Erin’s place! Erin was wonderful! Thank you for helping us out when we were in a bind last minute. She accommodated with our furbabies needs, sent great photos/videos. My furbabies seemed to make themselves at home at her house! Again, thank you Erin!! We will definitely be rebooking with her again! 😁”

Veru was wonderful! Alfie stayed for entire week and I did not have any concerns about his care while I was away. I received daily photos and videos. It was like Alfie was at camp for a week having fun and getting to play with other dogs Veru was providing care for. There were several walks to the park daily which was perfect for my little bundle of energy. When I picked up and brought him home he was exhausted from all of the fun! Alfie will be happy to return next time he needs a sitter❤️
Took great care of my dogs and provided lots of updates while they were with her! Very friendly and professional, and also patient with my older Frenchie who can be stubborn and sassy. Loved that there is a backyard for the pups to play and I knew they had easy access to go back inside if it got too warm.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $44.4 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 1,140 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 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.
