The best care for your best friend!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my whole life and while I don't currently have a dog of my own, I have been hosting pets in my home for 8 years. I work part time from home so I am always here for your pet as is the whole family. My wife and I have one college student so that makes three adults in the house to care for your pets, walk them, and give them the best care possible. I am comfortable with oral or injection medications, special needs, older pups, young pups, basically all dogs (and cats). One of the best things about the service I can offer is that I am always home for your pets and they will never be alone. We honor the owners choices but we don't mind if pets get on the sofa or the beds. Always home. Completely flexible with drop off and pick up times and would be happy to come to you if that helps. Daycare times can vary for us as well. I have a large fenced yard and a wonderful neighborhood with extensive, dedicated walking trails in addition to large sidewalks. If you have a shy or reactive dog we have ample area to exercise your pet without concern. Work from home, always home. Dogs can go out every hour or two if needed. Our large yard backs right up to a wonderful walking trail that dogs love. This is a wonderful community for hosting dogs as we have extensive trails and large sidewalks on both sides of the streets. In addition there is a lot of room for playing indoors.

We have never felt more comfortable with a River sitter than we did with Don and his wife. They are true dog lovers and treated our two dogs like their own. We loved the great communication including lots of photos and frequent updates. They went above and beyond including dropping our dogs off when we returned later than planned.

Don and his wife Karen were super sweet with my two dogs. They love dogs and are very attentive to them! My pups were walked, played with, and Don & Karen even allow them on the furniture, so the dogs got to snuggle and relax with them. Don and Karen were very responsive, sent pictures, and made me feel very good about leaving my dogs with them. I will definitely reach out to them again, with no hesitancy at all.

Best pet-sitters ever (Don and his sweet wife)! My dogs were well cared for and loved while we were away. They sent daily updates and pictures. I would use them again in a heart beat!

Don and his wife are lovely people to watch your dog! I had the best experience with them. They took good care of my dog. Took her for a walk. They took lots of pictures. I appreciate their knowledge of dogs. I will be booking again!
