“Rebeca gave great care to my Kobe❤️ I got updated daily via text with how he was doing along with a photo of my dog. I’m so glad Kobe got along well with Rebeca's dog Nico. I felt at ease leaving my Kobe with Rebeca, since it did help that I requested to meet her and her daughter a couple weeks before my dog’s scheduled stay. I will definitely recommend Rebeca to my friends and family! Thank you!!!”

“Jason was great to work with. He was very flexible with our schedule when we had to change times and communicated well. Charlie came home happy and was very well cared for. We got updates while we were gone. We would definitely use Jason again.”


“Really felt comfortable leaving our old boy Bentley, with Marissa. I was a bit concerned at first because Marissa has a dog and three cats of her own. As an older dog, Bentley prefers to sleep and pretty much, just be left alone, but the animals got along just fine. I could instantly tell at our introduction meeting that Marissa is an animal lover with a very kind heart. While we were away, Marissa took pictures of the dogs interacting and taking walks ... apparently, many walks ... and sending them to me regularly. Upon return, when I picked Bentley up, Marissa said "I thought you said that Bentley was kind of lay-back and just wanted to sleep. But, he was the first one up waiting to go outside to play and explore". I really appreciate the great job Marissa did with Bentley during our nine-day trip. I had such peace of mind that our dog was being loved and cared for. I would VERY MUCH like to use Marissa's boarding services again, next time we travel.”

“Clara and her family were amazing sitters! Indie tends to be anxious and this was her best experience so far. Clara took her dogs up to our park so the dogs could meet and it really helped. Thank you!”

“Heidi was so great with our dog.I checked my cameras often and she was so dependable showed up when she said she was. You can tell she really had a love for dogs because was always playing with her. I will definitely be using Heidi the next time I go out of town.”

“Brooke was wonderful! She took great care of Mipha and sent lots of photos of our pup having fun. She was very accommodating when we needed to change the pickup time, and our puppy came home super happy!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals. I grew up on a hobby farm in upstate New York, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. From feeding and grooming to understanding different personalities and needs, I learned how important patience, consistency, and love are when it comes to animal care. I got my first dog, a German Shepherd named Zany, when I was 3 years old, and dogs have been a huge part of my life ever since. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and reliable companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll treat your animals like family. I am currently at home full time, so have plenty of time and attention to share! I’m currently available for boarding both during the week and on weekends, or can do drop-in visits if that works better for you. I have a large 1/2 acre lot (on a quiet cul-de-sac) for frequent potty breaks, play, and leg stretches. Even though my yard is not fenced, I live less than a block away from the local dog park - with sections for large and small breeds - so I can easily walk them there if they love being social, like me!

About: I have been around animals my whole life, they bring me joy and I love to surround myself with them. I hold high regard and respect for furry and feathered creatures. I jump at the opportunity to care for friends' pets, and I'd like to open my home to your loved ones too and develop a relationship. I don't have any furry house friends of my own currently, but I do have a working 16 acre farm with a variety of small livestock, cats and birds. I love each and every one of them. I am well versed in basic medical care of animals. My latest diabetic cat lived with insulin shots twice a day for 3+ years. Pets that I sit can either roam around the farm with me as I work, or stay in my cozy house and receive regular visits throughout the day. Dogs tend to be thoroughly entertained with a big smile on their face. If allowed, your dogs will enjoy various pasture-raised, organic treats from the farm. I see a lot of benefits to dogs that get safe, controlled exposure to farm life and being around other species. I also enjoy taking dogs on hikes with me. I have trails close by where we can get additional exercise and exploration. Animals in my care get loads of attention, love and entertainment. I also have resident farm hands that love animals, offering extra social interaction and playtime. I work full time on my 16 acre regenerative farm. Pets in my care get loads of love and attention. More active dogs can roam around the farm with me, always close by with a ball or toy. Less active, retired, older pups can hang out in my home and receive regular visits throughout the day. They will never go long without love and interaction. My home is big and spacious with lots of lounging areas. The farm has some fenced areas, and generally dogs do fine hanging out close by, or as needed can stay on a leash or a cabled run nearby. I alao have a 10 x 16 fenced kennel run available. Pets are never left outside unattended, but get loads of outside time if desired. I also have daily farm hands that all love animals and love to play with them. Pups love farm life! Did I mention they will get pasture-raised organic lamb and turkey treats if their parents allow it?
About: Hi, we are Andrew and Kris. We've had pets our entire lives and have started to care for others in addition to our own puppy, Benelli. We have experience caring for various animals including dogs and cats. Kris works from home and we are quite flexible between our two schedules. Extended stays are welcome. We live in a very walkable neighborhood, and loving taking the pups out to walk around. Kris works from hone, so your pet will never be left alone! We are available for boarding as well, and just need advance notice for scheduling. We have a spacious townhouse and are both animal lovers. We currently have one amazing Labradane in the house who loves to play with other pets (if you allow it; otherwise he is very well crate trained and can remain separated). Your pets will have no shortage of attention and affection here!
About: I love fitness and pets and would like to combine the two! Contact me for a walk with your pup :) I live in a small apartment which means I have to get out of the house to workout often! I understand that different types of dogs need different exercise and I can cater to that need as well. I run my own business as a freelance artist so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule to walk your dog as needed. I live near lots of parks and can take your dog walking in the safe neighborhood near my home or let them play in nearby parks depending on your dogs exercise needs.
“We had a great experience boarding with Barbara. We were so impressed with the frequent check ins she sent us through our trip, it was clear she spend a lot of quality time with our dog, Peach. From the all the videos and photos we received, we were instantly put at ease seeing how much fun Peach was having. Peach has been really timid with other dogs in the past but warmed up to Barbara’s Knox quickly! What a great new dog friend! We’re looking forward to boarding with Barbara again soon. Thank you, Barbara!”


About: I am a wife of a veterinarian student and I want to do my part in take care of animal community! With my experience of being the oldest child in my family, I had the responsibility to teach and take care of our own pets, other cats and dogs, and children! I’m also a post surgery caregiver for the geriatric community so caregiving and babysitting is one of my strong suits. Love, respect, and guidance is what I can do for your pet! I can provide pet care daily as needed. I am currently finding jobs that’ll accommodate with my chronic illness so I am free to work! With proper instruction, I will follow your guidelines to insure your pet is safe, clean, and happy. In an emergency, I will make sure to have your contact information. I’ve made sure to locate animal hospitals in the area and I am married to a pre-veterinary student who can guide me a well.
About: We have a large half-acre yard and your pets will have the opportunity to play with our dogs or can be kept separately! We are also happy to send you pics or facilitate Facetime with you and your pet if it helps ease that homesickness from your furry friend. We love having extra furry friends. They will be kept safe and maybe spoiled. The longest your pet would be home without potty breaks is 2 hours. We have a fenced yard and two dogs that your pet can play with or we can keep them separately. We are also happy to send frequent pictures if it helps!!!
River Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

Debbie was absolutely wonderful. The highlight of her care is how much love she poured into my dog -as if he was her own. He had something of seperation anxiety, and she let him fall asleep in her bed. he also would approach her for physical affection which he usually doesn’t do except to people he knows. When I tried to book with her, she immediately let me know about why her schedule that day might not make her the best option. I really appreciate the honesty as I have had a in the past where leaving him alone was undisclosed. She communicated very well and sent me so many pictures and videos which was so nice and thoughtful. I would absolutely book her again. Thank you Debbie!

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.

Excellent care!! We could tell from the "meet and greet" that we could trust Captain with Briana. She is a natural with dogs and he seemed to be comfortable in the surroundings especially for his first visit. Briana updated us regularly and sent lots of photos. She is kind and easy to work with. We will definitely choose her to keep Captain again in the future!
