“Danielle was fantastic! She suggested meeting up before our trip so that we could meet and Pretzel could get familiar with her house, which I really appreciated. She was super communicative while we were away and sent lots of photos and videos. Our dog was all smiles in every picture; I could tell they were having a blast together. 10/10 would recommend Danielle and I absolutely plan on contacting her again the next time we go away.”
“Another great stay with Ty and her family! They are so kind and thoughtful in the care they show our Teddy. We are very grateful to have such responsible dogsitters!”
“I'm fortunate to have found Celina when I needed a pet sitter for the weekend! It was a pleasure meeting them, as they were kind and understanding when I expressed my concerns about Otto and leaving him in a new environment. I liked that they spend the time to get to know me and my pup before committing. Smokey is also a great pup, he's so sweet and clever and it was great watching him adapt his play with Otto. It's also clear that Celina and Smokey have a great relationship and love each other a bunch. They do great with establishing boundaries and advocating for the pups when it's needed. Celina also sent me photos of Otto's stay, which were all adorable to see! Communication was easy and simple, which I'm very appreciative of. Overall, it was a great experience working with them and I will definitely book again :)”
“She took excellent care of our boy and he had a great time playing with the sweet Lucy. Courtney provided us with updates and pictures and was always easy to get a hold of.”
About: Hello, I’m a Brown University graduate who gave up on the corporate life to live off my art and my passion for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life, especially cats, and I’ve been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, I also helped watch my neighbors’ pets whenever they needed an extra hand. Now, I’m a proud dog mom to Bonnie, a sweet Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix I share with my partner. Because she’s our first dog, we dove deep into research—while at Brown, we studied canine behavior and body language to better understand how dogs communicate and what they need to feel safe and happy. That knowledge has been invaluable in helping us welcome pet guests into our home. When your pets stay with us, they’ll be treated just like Bonnie—with cuddles, love, fun walks, playtime, and plenty of care. My goal is always to make them feel at home, comfortable, and loved. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and cuddle your pets throughout the day. Whether they need extra attention, long walks, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure they always feel cared for. The first priority for me when caring for animals is safety. I pay close attention to the environment and make sure pets are always comfortable and secure. For dogs, I have a safe yard where they can play, take potty breaks, or just relax outside. I also live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for safe walks and trips to the park. For cats, my home is equipped with window protection so they can’t slip outside (unless they are leash-trained or outdoor cats whose owners prefer outside time). I always respect each owner’s preferences—whether that means leash walks, indoor-only care, or a specific routine. If not in my own house, it's my pleasure to go to the owners house to take care of the cats! I will check the whole house to make sure everything is in order, clean everything, feed, hang out and play with the little ones! I pay attention to each animal’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I’ll always ask questions and keep in touch to make sure we’re on the same page.
“Rafael took amazing care of our dog, Zelda. She is a very shy and fearful dog, and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter. He was incredibly patient with her and helped her build trust and feel safe during her stay. He also helped her become more comfortable around other dogs, which meant a lot to us. Rafael was always quick to respond, speaks both English and Spanish, and kept us updated with beautiful photos throughout Zelda's stay. He was kind, enthusiastic, respectful, and very understanding. What we appreciated the most was that he accepted our last-minute booking, which helped us so much. We are extremely happy with the care Zelda received and will definitely book with Rafael again for both boarding and daycare. We highly recommend him!”
“Natalia was great about sending pictures and videos of my dog while I was away. It was our first time leaving her and she helped put my mind at ease, and it made my kids happy to know their dog was well taken care of!”
About: We are a married couple who both grew up in a home that always had dogs, and we don’t think a home is complete without a dog ! We have a Rhodesian ridgeback named Luca who loves to play with other dogs with naps and snacks in between. Hannah works from home so she is here all day to attend to them in between calls! Rory will support on an as needed basis. We look forward to meeting you and your dog and hope our home is like a home away from home for your pups! Requirements: Your dog needs to be potty trained Up to date on vaccines and flea/tick medications Good with other animals When booked: Please provide all food/snacks for your dog. If your dog requires a crate please bring your own as we don’t use any for our dog he sleeps with us in bed or lays on the couch with us. If they are allowed to do the same as Luca then we will happily all snuggle up ! Please bring a leash for your dog so we can take them for walks. Please tell us any specific instructions needed to care for your dog. Please provide us your veterinarian contact info incase of emergencies. Hannah works remote full time from home Monday -Friday ! Rory is home in the afternoon and evenings and will support on a as needed basis but Hannah will be the primary care taker to the pups! We are home on weekends unless we have a planned event. We have a fenced yard and a friendly dog named Luca who would love to have a playmate!! The cats keep to themselves but love our dog Luca just the same!
“Jessica was the best!! Spencer absolutely loved his sleepover party with his new pals. Jessica made sure to keep me updated with pictures and videos of Spencer. She made me feel comfortable with Spencer being at a new home for the first time. She made sure he got his night time meds, and extra snacks! Overall Jessica was one of the best rovers I had. Super attentive and caring. Spencer can’t wait to go back and see his girl friends!💕💕”
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.
“Matthew once again took very excellent care of Bailey while I was away for the weekend. He was good with giving medications and sent me frequent updates and pictures. Most importantly, he loves having Bailey over and Bailey loves spending time there! I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else.”
“Doris was able to take on our frenchie last minute to which I was very appreciative! I could tell our dog had a wonderful time with her! The picture updates we got were awesome as well. Thank you!”

“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.”

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.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Riverside on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,157 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.
