“Tommy had the time of his life!! Truly think he was a little sad to leave haha. Sofiya was wonderful, sent plenty of pics and videos and made me feel very comfortable as my family and I were traveling internationally. 100/10 recommend, will definitely be requesting for her help to take care of Tommy again!!”
“Daniela and Ronan took such good care of Gnocchi as usual. Our pup loves their dogs, they take him on wonderful new adventures and I swear he comes back a little smarter each visit. We couldn’t recommend them more!!!!”
“Dapeng and family took great care of A-mao and she had a great time! They sent many pictures of a-mao enjoying walks and the company of human and dog friends. They are very attentive too. All dogs we saw at Dapeng’s were happy and relaxed.”
“We are new to rover.com and feel very fortunate to have found Jennifer. She has many years of experience and we felt confident that she knows how to handle any situation. A great communicator, we really appreciated the regular updates. She, her family, her pups and her pup guests were great company for our dog. When we picked him up, he was so calm and relaxed, we knew he was very happy with his stay with Jennifer and her family. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Angelika did a great job watching my dog, Fawn! Throughout the process of watching her she sent me updated pictures of how Fawn was doing when staying at her place, and was flexible about the drop off/pick up time! I’d recommend Angelika to others who are looking for somewhere for their doggie to stay while they’re on a vacation or what not. :)”
“Li-Ting did an amazing job taking care of our boy while we were out of town! She sent numerous daily videos and photos with detailed updates of his walks and play dates with FaCai. She also took the time to brush him daily so his fur remained silky smooth. I won’t hesitate to book Li-Ting again as she provides a safe home away from home for our boy.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She is extremely responsible and reliable, and we work with her regularly. Every day, she kept us updated by sending pictures of Daisy, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also went above and beyond by grooming Daisy, which we really appreciated. When our flight was delayed, she was very understanding and kindly agreed to watch Daisy for a few extra hours without any hesitation. We’re truly grateful for her care and dedication. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Mundo! He’s a very active border collie who needs a lot of exercise, attention, and mental engagement, and they exceeded every expectation. What impressed me most was how thoughtful and attentive Farbod and his wife were. They took the time to ask about his routines and anxiety beforehand, and during the July 4th fireworks they were incredibly patient and comforting when he got nervous. Knowing they were paying such close attention to how he was feeling gave me so much peace of mind. They also sent the best daily updates: lots of detailed messages, tons of photos, and little stories about what Mundo did each day. It was obvious they really got to know him and genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. I looked forward to every update! Mundo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved. It’s not easy finding someone I’d trust with him, but I would book with them again in a heartbeat. They are absolutely fantastic, and I hope they get all the bookings they deserve. Thank you again so so much for taking such amazing care of my boy! ❤️”
“This is our second time booking a stay for our very active pup with Denisa and her family and we will definitely continue booking with her. She was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. Drop off and pick up were both a breeze. Our pup seems to enjoy being around her family and fur baby too. Thank you, Denisa!”
“Trishalee did a great job caring for our two little fur babies over the course of Thanksgiving week! She sent a couple of pics each day and contacted me when she realized I hadn't left her with enough food. I especially liked how close Trishalee is to our house, which made drop-off and pick up a breeze. Unfortunately, when I was picking up the doggies Trishalee informed me she's no longer going to be doing Rover boarding because they are planning to move to a different part of town and will be focusing on the move. She did tell me she will touch base if and when they decide to resume boarding services, and I'd be happy to board our doggies with Trishalee in the future if that's the case.”
“Kiki had a great time with Tracy as always, and came home happy. The daily photos are very appreciated, and we can tell that Kiki is in good hands. Thank you for taking good care of Kiki!”
“Meng was the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! Her level of care was incredible. It felt like she cared about our dog just as much as we do. She had an amazing yard, top tier communication, and eager for feedback. Will definitely be booking Meng again!”
“If you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares, look no further than Diane. She is incredibly nice and professional. Her backyard is a dog’s dream, and her consistent daily communication kept us totally at ease while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”
“Anniruda & Isha watched our senior dog Zephyr. At intake Anniruda was very thorough with questions about our doggo. They went out of their way to ensure Zephyr’s comfort during her stay. She was all tuckered out by the time we picked her up. Thank you for providing such diligent care to our dog!”
“Mamie and Chen were exceptional sitters for my dog Pippa this past weekend, taking her on short notice and going out of their way to make Pippa feel very happy and comfortable during her stay. They did a great job accommodating her specific needs and managing her medications. They kept us updated with great photos and insightful observations and feedback. Pippa loved their cozy apartment complex, which is nestled in redwoods and walking-distance from a nice park. We will definitely be reaching out to Mamie and Chen again for future stays!”
“Sarah was great with our 100 lb pit bull/ American bulldog Gordo. Took wonderful care of him and kept us updated. She Handled issues that came up professionally and with kindness. We will definitely book with her in the future”
“Rachel and her family took care of my dog Livvy a last. Outer request with so much of love, enthusiasm. My baby had the most awesome time at their place for z3 nights, and she came back super happy. Rachel follows all the instructions, is very friendly, kind nd loving , nd t the end that’s what matters most. It’s home away from home. Thank you Rachel. Will certainly use your help again..”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside Grove
This was Snoopy‘s second visit with Kara and I was so excited that she was available! Snoopy is an only dog and very timid and I knew a couple of days at day. Camp would be just what he needed to help bring him out of his shell. He did really well with her pack. I got constant photos and videos and my heart was full with his visit. I can’t wait to rebook with Kara!!
Kara is amazing and took such good care of my two pups and truly provided them with their own vacation while I took mine. Kara is a dog lover and will take very good care of your animals and give them a truly unique experience of enjoying a pack and having an adventure. She sent pictures and videos every day enjoying adventures in Boulder Creek with other dogs. They got to go on hikes and swim and she took time to work with my littlest one teaching him how to be braver as he is a bit shy. I will definitely be taking my pups to her again in the future. Thank you Kara!
Kara took the best care of Frankie. She was very knowledgeable about different breeds and what Frankie could and could not do. He had the time of his life and I will definitely be continuing care with Kara every time we go out of town, and also just to keep Frankie able to spend time with other dogs on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

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.

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.
92% of sitters in Riverside Grove 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 Grove 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 Grove.
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 Grove. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 Grove 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 CA 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.
