“I had never boarded my cat before and having read such awesome reviews about Katie, I knew she was the right person to care for him while I was out of town for 2 weeks. Boy were those reviews spot on! She was so interested in getting to know him and knew how to let him get adjusted to the unknown world of boarding. She is both a wonderful sitter and an amazing person. I will absolutely use her again when I need to board him. You will not be disappointed when you choose her. Thank you Katie for taking such good care of Arlo.”

“Patti and Butch were great! They have a wonderful back yard and they treated our little dog like it was their own. She provided daily pictures and updates while we were away for two weeks. Our dog was very happy and safe for the entire visit. I highly recommend Patti for any pet sitting needs.”

“Our dog was so well taken care of. We could tell by the photos sent that she felt right at home. We will definitely use Andrew and Kaitlyn again!!”

“Offered time for my pups to explore and reviewed special instructions for my senior dogs with me before I left. Loved the daily updates and photos!! Appreciate you taking care of my girls, Katya!”

“Debra was wonderful. I got several updates daily of my pups activities and she was very happy and played a lot. Will definately have Debra watch my dog next time I am out of town!”


“Eric & Yanqiu were so patient and loving with our newly adopted 2-year old pups. She was missing home the first couple of nights and they went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and felt loved. We loved all the pictures and updates! We are so appreciative of Eric & Yanqiu.”

“Tyler and Christopher were so great with Oslo!! Sent us a lot of great pictures and we knew he was loved and cared for. We’ll definitely use again!”

“Theo had a good time staying with our Rover for the long weekend. They spent a lot of time with him and he seemed to transition well. We got pictures ever day which helped us out too! Highly recommend and will definitely use them again.”


“Wendy took great care of our Teddy while we were away. Will definitely use her again. Super responsive, sent pics every day, and helped with some logistical issues as well.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t have found a better couple to take care of my Goldendoodle, Luna! Ursula was amazing with communication and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Luna was in great hands. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it honestly looked like Luna was having her own little vacation away from home. I highly recommend Ursula and Andrew — they were absolutely wonderful!”

About: Boarding: Dogs must be crate trained and vaccinations up to date. Must be kid friendly and do well with large dogs. I have a large, shaded back yard where we can play with toys or fetch. Walk around the quiet neighborhood or take a nap and cuddle. I have an active golden doodle who can’t wait to have a play buddy. I will happily take your dog on walks, play their favorite game and keep a structured routine if needed. Administer topical, injection or oral meds. Meet and greets preferred prior to care. I am currently working from home and have a large shaded yard. Which means potty breaks and outside play and relax time are always available. I will make sure your pets schedule is followed so you can be sure your pet will have fun and be cared for while you are away. My home is doggie safe. Minimalistic feel with little to no clutter. Space for your dog to stretch out and relax. Separate room with crate for sleep and/or alone time if needed. If I leave the house crate trained dogs can safely stay in crate with water and food. Feedings can be done separate if needed. Please bring leash, water and food bowl, and favorite treats. Do not bring toys because they will be enjoyed and destroyed by my dog.
“I cannot express my gratitude to Maria for taking care of my baby while I was away. This was my first time leaving him and leaving him with a total stranger. Wow from the moment we first messaged until pick up she made everything feel so calm and peaceful. I received daily videos and pictures of my baby without me even asking. When I picked him up I was greeted with my happy pup in the cutest bandana and he smelled so yummy. Wow I’m so impressed. Now I feel comfortable leaving him with her. She’s amazing!”

“Bekah took great care of our little Chihuahua. We traveled for 2 weeks and it was a relief having the peace of mind knowing our dog was not only safe, but happy and having fun!”

“Kira did a great job keeping our 9 month old Goldendoodle puppy for 4 days and 3 nights . He enjoyed his stay, and she did a great job keeping us up to date while we were on vacation.”


“We absolutely loved Virginia and her husband! They took such great care of our pups! My pups had such a great time there which was obvious through the pictures they sent us while we were away! I highly recommend them and will definitely take my dogs there the next time we are out of town!!! ”

“Lexi provided such loving care for our Sophie girl over the course of a week. Every day she sent photos, updates, and sweet videos. Meeting Lexi, you automatically can sense how wonderful of a caregiver she is to her own pets and how great she’d be with your own. We were so thankful to her: Sophie came back tuckered and happy, and we loved that she made some new friends too! We’d love to book her again!”

“Candace and Thomas were so great! Sent so many updates with photos that made me feel totally confident Tilly was in great care :) would love for them to watch her again in the future!”

“Gemma was great with Lua. She took her for several walks and kept us updated by sending videos/photos. Thank you for taking such good care of our Lua!”

“Amazing as always. I never have to worry about my Nova when she is with Charlayda. She has the midas touch. My pup is usually very nervous around other dogs and tends to shy away from them but she always comes out of her shell at Charlayda's. It did my heart good to see her having such a good time playing with other dogs. I love all of the photos and videos she sends and her homemade treats for the pups are a super special touch. She truly loves what she does and it shows.”

East Arlington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Andrea and David were very kind when my dog was sick on the first day (due to being upset at being left) and took good care of her. They communicated well and sent me pictures daily, which I really appreciated. I would definitely have them dog sit again in the future.

Eric & Yanqiu were so patient and loving with our newly adopted 2-year old pups. She was missing home the first couple of nights and they went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and felt loved. We loved all the pictures and updates! We are so appreciative of Eric & Yanqiu.

Sarah is a diamond of a sitter! We have never used river and was nervous about leaving our 3 year old yellow lab with someone, but now i can’t wait to book sarah again! She did a meet and greet and my dog absolutely loved her. My dog spent 5 days over at Sarah’s for boarding and she sent me so many pictures and videos i could not have had a more perfect experience, i mean seriously!! Thank you Sarah!!!

Jojo and Cyle were absolutely amazing and Kash throughly enjoyed his stay with them! I was constantly updated and kept in the loop via photos and messages. I felt very at ease on my trip and had zero concerns! Kash will be spending a lot more time with them in the near future 🤍

My 10y.o. Goldendoodle Penny had an amazing time with Ashely and her 4y.o. Labrador Romeo. Ashley’s communication was great, and I got pictures the entire weekend. They went on frequent walks, spent time at her complex’s dog park, and Penny had plenty of snuggles and toys. With Penny being older and with less than energy than in her younger years, I was worried a younger lab would be too energetic for her, but they got along great and Romeo was so well behaved with her. They were instant friends. I would absolutely book Ashley again for any of my pet sitting needs.
