“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.”
“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!!!
“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!”
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
“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!”
“Aubrielle is amazing! This was my very first time boarding my fur babies, so I was nervous. Aubrielle kept me updated with pictures and video, and I can tell they both loved her! Thank you so much!”
“If you want your pet cared and very loved for let Mary watch them she went above and beyond caring for my dog she sent tons of updates and took good care of him. We had some things come up and she extended his stay an extra day and took very good care of him she was so so awesome to work with. I highly recommend Mary to care for your fur babies.”
“Clara is amazing! She send us daily updates and pictures with all the fun things she does to make sure our pupper is having a good time. She is willing to do whatever she needs to make sure he is taken care of whether that be giving him medicine to recover from an injury, or buying specific dog food when he runs out 🫣. Her dogs are great with ours and most importantly, our baby is SO EXCITED to go to her house. So, we know he is happy and being well taken-care of with us. It gives us so much peace of mind when we have to leave him. Can’t recommend Clara enough!”

“Sam was great! She sent pictures and was very responsive while taking care of Tosh. She even noticed a small cut on his paw and used medicine/bandages to help to heal faster. We will use Sam again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“They had only great things to say Yoshi when I picked him up. They genuinely seemed to enjoy Yoshi which is such a comfort for me. I highly recommend them. I will definitely use them again!”
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.
About: I am a caring, dependable, and attentive caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I create a calm and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal like part of my family. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. Caring for animals fits in naturally with my day—I enjoy including them in walks, playtime, and a calm home environment where they feel safe and loved. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your specific instructions for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and routines. I also make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment while keeping you updated with messages and photos.

Pet 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.

There are 184 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in River Heights. About 94% 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.
