“Sandy, Chris and kids were just awesome with our little Coco. She was loved and cared for as if she was theirs. She came back to us exhausted, she played so much. Thank you ALL for taking such great care of Coco. Truly recommend them to anyone needing a home away from home for their fur baby!!”

About: Hi! I’m a military family member living right here on Hill AFB, and I’d love to welcome your fur baby into my home! 🐾 I live in a comfortable 3-bedroom home with a fully fenced backyard, giving your pup plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away. My wife also lives with me, so your pup will have a loving, comfortable home environment. I have an 8-year-old Black Lab named Bleu and a 3-year-old domestic shorthair cat named Scat. Both are part of the family and are used to having other animals around. 🐶🐱 I understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan. Work trips, vacations, last-minute changes, emergencies, or simply needing someone you trust to watch your pup can happen with very little notice. I’m happy to work with different schedules whenever I can because I know how important it is to have someone reliable you can count on. My goal is simple: treat your dog like they’re one of mine. ❤️ I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of dogs as long as they’re house-trained, dog- and cat-friendly, and not food aggressive. Outside of those basics, I’m pretty easygoing! I’m happy to follow your normal routines, feeding instructions, medication schedules, crate preferences, and whatever helps your pup feel comfortable. While you’re away, you can expect plenty of attention, a safe home environment, backyard time, and lots of love and cuddles. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you don’t have to wonder what your fur baby is up to. 📸🐾 Whether you need a sitter for a planned vacation or something comes up at the last minute, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furbaby! Rover Profile Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m already used to the daily responsibilities that come with caring for pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and all the little things that help pets feel comfortable and happy. One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that pets will have someone around throughout the day, so they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, keep an eye on them, and make sure they stay on their normal routine while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet like part of the family. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and give them plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re in my home. 🐾 Boarding & Daycare For boarding and daycare, I treat every pet that stays with me like part of the family. 🐾 My home is their home away from home, and I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and on as close to their normal routine as possible. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and plenty of room to stretch their legs. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and downtime. For cats, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where they can relax, explore at their own pace, and receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, medication instructions, crate routine, sleeping arrangements, and any other care instructions you provide. I also understand that every pet has a different personality — some want to play all day, some want constant cuddles, and some simply want a quiet place to nap. I’m happy to meet each pet where they’re most comfortable. Pets staying with me will have regular supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and being well cared for. ❤️
“Macie did a great job taking care of our sweet Lucky! She is super sweet & you can tell she loves animals! 💕🐾 We enjoyed the pics she sent & grateful she took Lucky on walks & brushed him! I wish I could share the pic of him grinning from ear to ear in their beautiful backyard. Macie was willing to take care of Lucky even with his special needs at the moment & it was a last minute ask. 😊 He came home soft, happy & healthy! Thanks so much for taking such great care of our sweet Lucky Blue!!! I highly recommend Macie & her family, they are Awesome!!! ✨💕🌈💕✨”
“We’ve used several sitters on Rover and most all of them have been great, but Madilynn really went above and beyond! Both in keeping our dog for longer than we would usually leave her and being so sweet and attentive and calming to her. She was so kind and loving toward her, so aware of her needs, just truly amazing! I sincerely can’t recommend her enough!”
“The best experience! We've never left our dog with anyone do u was nervous but they put us completely at ease and sent lots of adorable photos and videos. You can tell this home is a dog loving home, or dog has the best time! Will definitely call again.”
“Amanda is awesome ! Luca had the best time staying with her at her place for a long weekend. She sent me pics and checked in every day ! I can't wait for her to watch Luca again !”
“Joel is amazing with our pup. I know that he's going to be loved on, safe, and very well cared for during his stay. Joel is patient and Presley always comes back better behaved! Communication is fantastic and we love all the photos. He is our go-to for doggy boarding.”
“This amazing family took such great care of my 7 month old puppy! She kept in touch with pics and video and made me feel so comfortable with being away from her. Thank you Elise!”
“LINDSEY IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. It’s never easy to trust a stranger with your fur baby, especially when you know your pup better than anyone and know their different quirks, along with if they struggle with separation anxiety. First off, meeting Lindsey she is sooo sweet & has the most warm loving energy. I have strong intuition when it comes to people and can always tell whether or not something seems off, but as soon as she opened the door to meet & greet us, I knew that my dog Daisy would not only be completely safe, but especially LOVED. Lindsey was the best communicator, provided updates, cute pictures & it was honestly the first vacation we were able to relax knowing Daisy was having her own fun vacation absolutely loving Lindseys dog becoming instant best friends. The only negative thing I need to warn others about… is your dog will not want to leave once it’s time to go home with you after how much fun and happy their time has been there.😂❤️🫶😅❤️😍 10/10 ABSOLUTELY WILL BE BOOKING WITH HER FOR ALL OUR UPCOMING TRIPS. Best service and best family you can trust & count on to leave your fur babies with 🥹🙌👏”
“Casey was AMAZING! She took such great care of our dog! She sent multiple pictures and videos. He was having so much fun we thought he wouldn’t want to come home. He loved playing with the other dogs and the family loved him like their own. Thank you Casey! We were able to enjoy our trip because we knew he was totally loving life!”

Laurie took such good care of my little old man. He's a rescue with a sad history. He really struggles with new sitters, but when I picked him up, he was so calm. She sent me pictures and updates. She has professional protocols for introducing dogs. I will definitely use her again.
Chris and Sandy were very welcoming and accommodating throughout the process. We appreciated the photos, videos, and little stories they shared about Oliver's stay. It was especially sweet hearing how Oliver followed Chris around like a little shadow! They were friendly and easy to communicate with, and we appreciated their efforts to make Oliver feel at home. Thank you both for taking care of our little guy!
Danii is awesome with our dogs! We have left them with her three times now and they are always excited to see her! She sends us pictures and updates and is very good at communicating with us about how they are doing. We no longer have to worry when we leave them because we know they are being well cared for.
Chaylee was wonderful. This was our first time ever boarding or having someone watch our dog that wasn’t a family member. She was extremely kind, very responsive, sent many photos that honestly helped with the anxious feeling of our Ghost being in a new place. It was very much a new happy place. Truly she deeply cares for pets and is just a kind and sweet soul. Thank you very much

98% of sitters in Riverdale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Riverdale home-away-from-home, 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 Riverdale.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Riverdale 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.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
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.
