About: Dogs have been both my profession and my passion. My background includes working with elite K9s in narcotics detection, explosive detection, apprehension, and executive protection. These experiences taught me how to understand canine behavior, build trust, reinforce training, and safely handle dogs in a variety of situations. What sets me apart is my ability to combine genuine care with professional training experience. Whether your dog is a highly active working breed, a puppy learning good habits, a senior needing patience and support, or a beloved family pet, I provide structured, attentive care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, mentally engaged, and well cared for while you're away. I am on your clock. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, structure, and positive interaction. I make time every day to provide dependable care, walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship. I work hard to maintain your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free in your absence. Safety and trust are at the center of everything I do. My experience handling both working K9s and family pets has taught me how to recognize behavior changes, assess situations, and respond appropriately to each dog's needs. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and positive reinforcement. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely and treat every animal as if they were my own. I believe pet owners deserve peace of mind, so I provide reliable communication, updates, and photos throughout the stay. Your pet's comfort, security, and well-being will always be my highest priorities.

About: I’ve spent most of my life around dogs and understand that every pup has their own personality, pace, and needs. I raised my own dog for nearly 18 years after rescuing him, and that experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly care for a dog through every stage of life. Beyond that, I’ve helped care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from walking large, high-energy huskies to spending extended time with senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive approach. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive experience so your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: to treat your dog like they’re my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible and consistent schedule throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks or check-ins, and I can easily adapt to your dog’s routine. Because I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t experience long gaps without care or attention. I do step out occasionally for the gym or quick errands, but these are brief and planned around any bookings. When appropriate, I also enjoy bringing dogs along for safe outdoor time like relaxed walks or fresh air. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so your dog feels comfortable and you feel confident. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment where dogs feel secure and well cared for. In my home, I live in a single-story house with a fully fenced yard that allows for safe outdoor time and easy supervision. The space has previously been home to multiple dogs, so it’s well-suited and comfortable for them. I always prioritize safety by monitoring interactions, keeping a clean environment, and following any specific instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your dog’s established routine to reduce stress and maintain consistency. My approach is patient, attentive, and built on trust—treating every dog as if they were my own.

Homewood, CA, 96141

About: I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m always happy to go out for a walk or a hike. Ellie, my 13-year-old Lab, is always up for meeting a new dog friend. Daycare Rates & Information: Daycare is up to 8 hours of care. Anything longer than that time, please book a boarding stay. Drop-offs anytime after 8 a.m. Pickups before 8 p.m. Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.

About: Hey there! I have lived my entire 30 years with dogs. From growing up with two golden retrievers to getting my own dog louie at 17- and seeing him through his senior years all the way up until his passing this past February. We still have his sweet loving sister Nala who is 5, a tender gentle girl who lives for fetch! She may be timid at first meet but is just a submissive gentle girl who eventually opens up for fun loving play if the other dog will have her :) I have dog and cat sat for family and friends since I can remember. I absolutely love animals and take care of them with immense responsibility and care as I know from my own experience they are often some of the most important beings in our life. My husband Louie (my dog Louie came first they just happened to have the same name! lol) is also an animal lover and instantly adopted my babies upon meeting and has always treated them with tender and diligent care. We are responsible loving and caring pet parents who take the responsibility of looking after your loved one very seriously! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We look forward hearing from you. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule that I create with plenty of time to work around the needs of the animals I am caring for. We currently live in a home with an enclosed deck space, however whenever we aren't home we keep the windows and doors completely shut and locked.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Riverton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 204 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Riverton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

96% of sitters in Riverton 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 Riverton 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 Riverton.

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 Riverton. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

You and your Riverton 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.
