Pet care experience

A loving home away from home!

We are Rivercrest Bark: Aaron, Dawne and Charlie (10). We have been right where you are, scouring Rover, stressed about finding the ideal fit. We are committed to providing a loving and comfortable home away from home for your dog and an stress-free experience for you. We'll send you videos and photos and love your dog just as much as we loved our own. Our home is home to Nina, a 14lb rescue from Mexico. Nina loves to play with other dogs but enjoys being lazy and basking in the sun as well. Our home is ideal for small dogs, but we could accommodate medium dogs on a case-by-case basis. Tell us more your dog(s).

Dawne and her family have watched my two dachshunds many times over the past four years. They always have a wonderful time at Dawne‘s house, and I know they are well cared for and loved. Thanks so much!

Dawn did a great job. She even brought her daughter over to play with our dog.

Schedule

Dawne works from home and has plenty of flexibility in her work schedule for snuggles, bathroom breaks, walks or playtime. Charlie attends school but will no doubt be counting down the hours to get home to play with our visitors. Aaron works outside of the home 4 days a week but walks in the AM. We have a large park down the street from our house as well.

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is quaint, and we've got a fenced front and back yard with plenty of space for exploring. We have security cameras in our front and backyard. Dogs will not be left alone outside without supervision unless you state otherwise. Please note: the Rover guarantee is quite limited. We are insured with Pet Care Insurance as well. We are so lucky to have repeat visitors frequently. On occasion we may have 2-3 visitors at a time. They are typically sibling dogs + a dog from another household. We take full consideration of the compatibility & safety of overlapping visitors. We want parents & pups to feel at ease. Rest assured there is plenty of doggy love to go around & we will do our best to make sure you are aware of overlap visitors.
