“Pamela was great! She communicated by texting me updates and sending pictures and videos. My dog was genuinely happy to be with her and her family. Our stay was during Fourth of July and she took extra care with my dog to ensure she was safe during fireworks. We will definitely use Pamela again for our dog sitting 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!”
“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.”
“Nate was wonderful, my pup had a great and safe time the couple of days I was away and I got regular updates of her frolicking around. I would absolutely have her stay with him again in the future!”
“Becky did a great job taking care of our older dog. She stayed at our home and left it pristine! Becky also provided regular updates to make sure we knew our pup was doing well. We were so thankful to know Winston was in the care of a real dog lover.”
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!!!
“Aubrielle took such good care of my dogs and they loved her. It was so nice to be on vacation and feel like someone was with my dogs who loved them and genuinely cared about them so I didn’t have to worry.”
“Summer was awesome with my dog! She went on daily walks and I received updates even when I was out of service, which was SO nice to receive when I came back from my trip. Photos were great and her whole family was super sweet & involved!”
“Mary was great. She was able to administer my dogs antibiotics with no problem, sent pictures regularly, responded to messages within a Timely manner. I put in wrong dates when booking and she was easy to fix my mistake. Would highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Jason is always up for taking care of our dogs and he is so great with them. He taught me a few tricks and honestly my larger dog is always so well behaved when we pick him up. He trains dogs as a hobby and is awesome at it! He is always flexible with pickup and drop off which I usually need and its so helpful. We have booked multiple times and we will keep coming back. Thanks Jason!”
“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!”

Your pets will have no shortage of attention and affection here!
About: I’ve done my fair share of leash and potty training I take a passion in making sure animals are happy and taken care of no matter what I don’t have much to do and am looking for a way to spend my time productivity while being able to do something I love I have a service dog and he is very friendly. I’ll bring treats for your dogs or dog I’ll provide a claiming environment for them
“I can’t praise Jason enough! This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone I didn’t know, and I was super scared. But from the moment I dropped her off I was at ease, Jason made me feel like she was going to be okay and be in a great place. I wasn’t ever worried about her while gone and he would constantly send me pictures of my baby. I will definitely be returning! If you are looking to send your pup to anyone, pick Jason! He treats your dog like his and gives them a comfortable place to live while you’re gone!”
“Harley and Hazel were so well cared for! We appreciate having a place for them to stay at while we are away where we know we don’t have to worry. They had fun playing with the other dogs.”

Pet 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.

There are 177 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in River Heights. About 93% of River Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
