Pet care experience

Heartfelt expert care for your pets

My daughter and I have had a private rescue for 20 years now. We have handled dogs of all shape and size along with old and young. We also have had horses on our property since 2003 and cats have also been part of our family. We have managed animals carefully and successfully and joyfully. We are at your service.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

We think it is best when pets can stay in their own home but in the event that they could not we do have a small facility. We are fenced. Our dogs stay in the house although they enjoy being out a good part of the day. They are fed in the morning and get treats at night and always lots of fresh water. We will do the same for your pups but again we recommend you keep them in their own environment if it all possible.

Jo did a great job checking up on our kittens and leaving the litter area clean. Would recommend to anyone!

Dog Walking • Dec 25, 2023

Another great experience with Rover ! We were staying at Barnsley Gardens Resort and did not know anyone in the area. We were happy to see that a River sitter was close by to walk our dogs.
