“Cody and Amanda were incredible! Leaving your pet behind can be stressful, but from the moment we connected with them, we knew our pup was in the best hands. They went above and beyond every step of the way, treating our Teddy like one of their own. He had an absolute blast playing with their two doodles all weekend, and they kept us updated with sweet photos and messages that put our minds at ease. When we picked him up, he was the happiest we’ve ever seen him after a Rover stay. You could truly tell he was loved, snuggled, and so well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly, highly recommend! We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“I’m so thankful Rebeca accepted our last minute booking over a holiday weekend. My lab and schnauzer had the best time! She took them on a lot of walks and sent pictures. They had a lot of fun playing with her dog, too. They were happy and tired when I picked them up.”

Thanks Jason!”

“Sam was amazing! Sam came to our home prior to our trip to meet our fur babies and get to know us and our home. She stayed in our home and looked after our Rotties for a week. She texted and sent photos during our trip, allowing us comfort and smiles. Upon arriving home everything was perfect and our Rotties were happy and playful. I absolutely recommend Sam, with no hesitation and am thrilled to know we have someone to call whenever we need/want to go out of town. Thank you, Sam!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Heights
If you want someone who truly understands dogs, this is your guy. I have a very timid, and reactive Pyrenees-poodle and he does not do well with strangers. Eric gave Winston a calm safe space to relax, and adapt to. He was very communicative while I was gone. My questions and concerns were answered promptly. Winston was able to get lots of exercise daily. As well as free time to roam. When I picked him up, he was very calm, and happy. I will absolutely being using Eric again in the future.
Debbie was great. So good for our doggies. She met us out front when we arrived, which was so nice to know right were to go! She immediately loved on our Rosie and Aggie and knew just what to do to help them feel at home. They seemed very happy and LOVED sleeping with her (I could tell because they wanted to sleep with me when they came back home). This was just a quick overnight trip and it was so great to get photos and updates to know the dogs (and Debbie too) were doing well.
Amanda and Cody were life savers. While we were on vacation in Puerto Rico the person we had arranged to watch our dogs had an emergency and was not able to finish the week. They took our dogs last minute. We use these guys often and my two boys live going to their house to play.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in River Heights on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 175 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across River Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of River Heights sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which River Heights landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their River Heights home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your River Heights.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your River Heights sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
