“Debbie is the best sitter! Our dog had a great time with her and she came home happy & healthy. Debbie is very quick with communication and she sent cute pics of our dog to us everyday. We will definitely be returning to Debbie in the future. 🤍”
“If you are looking for someone to take extra care of your fur baby Atie is it! I spent weeks trying to find someone I felt comfortable with leaving my two shih tzus with for a week long trip, As soon as I met with Atie I knew she was going to be perfect and felt at ease immediately after talking with her. My dogs were so happy there! She loves them like her own, they slept with her every night, went on daily walks and got lots of snuggles/love. She works from home and is there with them all day. She has two dogs that my dogs loved to play with and all got along great. She sent us several updates of videos and pictures which I was so grateful for. She really tried to keep what their schedule and home life was like the same so they were comfortable there, She is truly the best! I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Jared was excellent to work with for our first time having to leave our pup since we moved to the area. He was flexible with our schedules, a prompt and courteous communicator, and sent us plenty of pictures while we were away. I would be more than happy to have Jared watch our pup anytime and we are grateful for the care and love he provided!”
“We needed a last minute stay for our dog and Calista & Hannah were very responsive. They're home was a very well run business with smooth drop off and pick up. Boba was happy and exhausted when he came home. We'd definitely rebook and recommend.”
“Took amazing care of my dog! Their dogs are very friendly and helped bring my dog out of her shell. I would absolutely have them watch my dog again in the future!”
“I loved how Nate was willing to take care of our two dogs, one of which is special needs. He listened to our concerns and assured us they would be fine. The pick up and drop off is fantastic! The dogs came home tired and happy. They’re looking forward to their next vacation at Nate’s home!”
“Pamela watched our 4 month old puppy for a week. She was very good with making sure he felt safe around other dogs while making friends with them as well. This is this first time we have used Rover.com and Pamela. Planning on using again the next time we can’t take our dog with us.”
“Samantha was wonderful to work with - sent many pictures every day of the 12 days she sat Bobo. Bobo looked very happy in all the pictures, got plenty of play time, daily walks, and social time. She followed all written instructions and kept up with all requests. Would highly recommend.”
“Beverly was great! Jett loved playing in her backyard and with her dog. She was great to make sure he was comfortable even while he is still a bit anxious at night. I would definitely book with her again!”
“My experience with Kristen and Spencer was great! I never actually met Spencer but did see him in photos that were sent to me during my time away. Kristen is very warm and engaging, has a very easy personality. We felt completely comfortable right from our first meet & greet. Karleigh is an older dog and Kristen was great at understanding her particular needs. When I left her with the family I walked away confident that we were a good fit and I was not disappointed! Kristen sent photos frequently with little tidbits about how she was doing away from home which was very helpful for my reassurance. All in all I would recommend her to anyone.”
“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.”
“Sara and her family were so great with our dog. She got lots of attention and she was a happy dog when we picked her up. Sara sent pictures and let us know how things were going. I would highly recommend her!”
“Awesome sitter, Ollie always comes back happy and healthy! They’re great at taking pictures and ensuring you’re not nervous about your dogs while they’re away.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Heights
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.
I love having Tatiana watch our pets! She was so patient with our dog and helping her to get comfortable in her first experience away from home with a sitter. We’ve used her before with another animal and came back because she and her family are so loving. I would highly recommend her to anyone anxious about leaving their animals for the first time! Great communication as well.
Jared was excellent to work with for our first time having to leave our pup since we moved to the area. He was flexible with our schedules, a prompt and courteous communicator, and sent us plenty of pictures while we were away. I would be more than happy to have Jared watch our pup anytime and we are grateful for the care and love he provided!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in River Heights on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 180 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.
94% 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.
