Mike was awesome! I felt so comfortable leaving the pups in his care. Between a food crazed 16yr old Beagle and an extremely shy young rescue, Mike catered to both of their needs. He provided fun visit updates and really showed compassion for both dogs. He treated them as if they were his own Archie. We’ll definitely reach out to him for future dog visits. Thank you Mike for everything!

Kovi seemed happy the whole time he was there and returned home happy and tired! We got videos and photos, updates along the way. Michael and Sarah were always responsive and flexible. I know they enjoyed having my puppy over, and it was clear they genuinely cared.

Michael was my 1st River experience and I am incredibly grateful to have found him. I failed to make a reservation early enough at my normal boarding place before the Thanksgiving holiday and was forced to find an alternative. Thank goodness for Google! Michael provided my Lexie a top notch environment filled with fun and lots of dog cuddles. The experience was easy and comfortable. Will definitely board again!

Mike and Sara did a great job taking care of Riley again. I couldn’t ask for better dog sitters, and Riley has so much fun staying with them and playing with Archie!
