Hello and welcome to my Rover profile. I am River and I have been working through the Rover app for over 6 years now. Luther and myself have had the honor and pleasure of making the acquaintances of hundreds of dogs over the years and I credit Luther for all the wonderful friendships and relationships we’ve made through the years. I offer a range of services, but most of my bookings come from boardings and daycare. I am available for house sitting as well, but my preference is always to board in my home. I offer a large secure and fenced in backyard, that feels like a dog park. Access to water is my top priority, so I assure to keep your fur baby hydrated throughout their stay. I also provide a variety of dog treats, toys and additional dog bowls for feedings. Due to the impact of inflation, especially in Minnesota I have had to update and increase my charges for everything, especially in regards to sitter pickup/drop off. I apologize sincerely for any inconvenience, but this is required to keep me afloat. Boarding - Boarding, which will have a set drop off time of 3 pm and set pickup of 12 pm/noon, the following day. Unless the stay is multiple days, then the pickup will be 12pm/noon on the final day of the stay. Boarding will no longer exceed 24 hours. I will provide a grace period of a few hours, but once we've reached 24 hours, you will need to pay for daycare. (If the drop off time of 3 pm and pick up time of 12pm/noon need to be modified, we can discuss that ahead of booking the stay.) Daycare - The initial cost for a day of daycare is for up to 8 hours. Anything beyond 8 hours, I will charge accordingly. These changes will also affect housesitting requests as well. I will start at 3 pm the first day and end at 12pm/noon the last day, not exceeding 24 hours. If my services are needed beyond 24 hours on the final day, there will be a drop in charge added to the booking. I do want to apologize if the changes I am making result in you choosing another sitter or boarding facility. And I truly wish you and your fur baby or fur babies all the best. After doing some extensive research, I have come to the conclusion that this is the best option for my family and business. Thank you for your time and patience. Rover has become my full-time job, so other than quick trips to the gym a few times each week, I am home with the fur babies all day/night. Dogs have free roam in the backyard, which is turned into an oasis in spring and summer with kiddie pools, beach umbrellas and an abundance of balls for fetching.

Ratings and reviews
River always takes such good care of our girl. She's house sat for us for three years and is hands down the best sitter we've ever had.

Lucky had a great time with River! Additionally, River made it a great experience for us - incredibly responsive and communicative, ready outside when we dropped off and ready with all her things at pickup. It all went so smoothly! This was our first time using Rover and it was a resounding success.

Another great stay!!!! Favorite sitter ever!

We love being able to drop off our black lab with River while we’re on vacation. It gives us peace of mind knowing he’s being taken care of so we’ll!

River is the best! She’s great with dogs of all ages and sizes. I trust her and her home is perfect for pups.

River is amazing and Jake loves his time with her.

Schedule
I am fortunate to have made dog boarding/sitting/walking my full time job, so my full attention goes to each and every dog in my care.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, fully fenced in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to roam. In the summer time, there’s plenty of kiddie pools filled with water for dogs to cool off and play.

A typical day
Luckily there are a couple nearby dog parks within driving distance that I love to bring Luther to. But Bloomington and surrounding suburbs have some great nature trails as well.
