âOur dog Zoey is always so happy to stay with Allesha and her dogs! Allesha is fast and quick with correspondence and takes good care of our dog. We are happy repeat customers. Thank you!â

âJoe and Madeleine took great care of our two pups! We got lots of pictures and updates and they even came home bathed. Would definitely use them again!â

âSo happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.â

âJess was great! I was really worried about having a sitter for my two dogs but she took care of them like they were princesses! Very nice, caring and kind. She even put up with me acting like I was taking my kids to their first day of kindergarten crying like a baby. Thank you Jess and I look forward to working with you again.â

âJax had a great time with Natalia. He loved playing with her dog and my daughter loved that she sent pictures during his stay. Would definitely recommend. I was nervous as this was our first time leaving him with someone but would not hesitate to do it again with Natalia. Thanks for taking such great care of Jaxâ

âWe are so thankful to Erika and her family for looking after our Dexter so well! We got daily updates and pictures of all the fun he was having. Erika did an amazing job administering his medicine. It was such a relief to have Dexter in such good hands. Thank you so much!â

âI was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!â

âShivadarshini was great to work with! When I reached out to her about Biscuit staying over while we were away, she offered Biscuit and I stop to by for a quick visit ahead of time to make sure we were both comfortable with her staying for a week. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dogs as well. She sent outfits twice a day which was so sweet and kind of her to think about doing. She met any need or requirement I asked for. Biscuit will be visiting again next time we are out of town.â

âJolene and Jeffrey were amazing with the dogs. Their house is gorgeous and their backyard was a doggie paradise that was completely fenced in so the dogs could play outside all day. My dogs both came home exhausted from playing and having so much fun. They also sent us tons of pictures throughout our vacation and kept us informed about how the dogs were doing. Incredibly nice people, would highly suggest booking with them! (Also they are still taking bookings despite the shut down, so hit them up for any of your doggie needs!)â

âJessica was amazing! She gave me consistent updates, was very kind and nurturing, and has a very sweet and pleasant demeanor that made me feel confident she would take great care of my baby. I will definitely be booking with her again :)â

âBeverly is wonderful. My return flight was cancelled so I was stuck in Los Angeles and couldnât pick up my dog as scheduled. I messaged Beverly and she contacted Rover to modify the booking. She was able to keep my dog until I was back home. Thanks again Beverly.â

âTheresa and Adrian are THE BEST!!! My Mother and I were having a difficult time finding someone to care for our family pet dog Moses, due to people's schedule. We needed someone we could trust to care for Moses while we traveled to a family reunion. I had an excellent experience with Theresa and Adrian caring for my dog. They did an outstanding job ensuring my pet was well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. They were very attentive, responsive, and showed genuine care and affection. My dog seemed relaxed and content, which is the biggest compliment I could give. I highly recommend Theresa and Adrian for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their furry friend! Thank you so very much! Vito Viviano The Prince đđžâď¸â

âWe have used Steven several times for our pet boarding and he is excellent with my Spinks. Spinks is always happy and exhausted from all the exercise he gets at Stevenâs. I highly recommend him for your pet sitting/boarding needs.â

âKayla was great with my geriatric dog! The time my pup spent with her did her good, she came back with so much life, and energy, like she went on a relaxing vacation! I'm very grateful for the attentive care she provided to my fur baby.â
âLeaving your dog for any period of time can be stressful. However, our overall experience leaving Wally in the care of Lisa was an exceptional one! From drop off to pickup and everything in between, we were always reassured and provided feedback along with pictures that we were still connected to our dog. Thank you Lisa for going above and beyond for Wally! We definatley feel comfortable using their service again! :)â

âQueeny took such great care of my 5 month old puppy! She sent pictures and videos throughout the time of our Kaju being with her. She is also so attentive! At home we get Kajuâs water from the filtered fridge water spout out of habit and Queeny noticed that Kaju wasnât drinking tap water and provided him with filtered water. I absolutely recommend Queeny!â

âI have to thank Tara for helping me with little bear my young Sable Shih Tzu. Iâm going through a hard situation right now and she helped out right away. She constantly sent pictures and text messages to let me know how he was doing. I highly recommend Tara. I will definitely be booking her in the future. Thanks, Tara.â

About: I have taken care of various types of dog babies across many states. I learn quickly about what a dog needs especially when factoring in weather. I work from home most days and run in the evening. Usually long distance runs are in the morning so not inconvenient for night stays. For my home, I have a very spacious dog park and closed in balcony. Also live close to the riverwalk for night walks. There is space in home for medium sized crates if necessary.
âNia was absolutely amazing. She took wonderful care of my pup. She kept me updated on his well-being the entire time I was away. I'm soo grateful to have found someone to care for my pup who is so loving, kind and professional. I will absolutely recommend and work with Nia in the future.â

Rivertown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lasya and her husband were both so kind, accommodating, and responsive throughout the entire process, from initial booking to pick-up at the end of the stay. My dog Willow was so well taken care of! He can be a little anxious sometimes and I was so happy to receive so many photos of him relaxing and enjoying his stay. They kept up with his eating and feeding schedule and gave him lots of attention. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely book them again. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!!!

âââââ ABOVE & BEYOND âIf you are looking for a place to board your baby, stop scrolling right now. Seriously. Youâve found the best of dog boarding! âBrandon doesn't just "watch" dogsâhe basically invites them to a 5-star bootcamp where they also learn how to be the "Goodest Boys and Girls" in existence. âWhy your dog will love him (and you will too): * âThe Training Magic: The passion for training is real! * âThe Vibe: Most boarders are "drop-off and pray." Here? Itâs pure love. * âBest in Town: No competition. None. Zero. âIf you want your pup to have a better vacation than you're having, this is the spot. Iâd give it 12 stars if Rover let me. Absolute legend! đž

Pallavi is an amazing sitter who cared for Rocket like her own. Rocket stayed with Pallavi and her husband over the weekend, and when we picked him up, he even walked us back to their doorstep! Needless to say, our puppy felt right at home. We highly recommend Pallavi as a sitter.

We left our dog Rory in the care of Miranda and Cameron for over two weeks while we were away on vacation. They provided us with updates on how she was doing while away, and they were also able to deal with a couple health issues that our dog was dealing with at the time. When we picked up Rory, it was easy to see that she was well taken care of in Cameron. We would definitely recommend using them for your dog sitting services and we look forward to reaching out to them the next time we need a dog sitter as well.

Michael was amazing with my little man, his updates made me feel so much more comfortable about leaving my puppy for the weekend knowing he was in such good care. He went above and beyond during my little manâs stay, working with me so well on the random things involved with puppy adjustment. The next time I need to have someone trustworthy and kind - I know exactly who to contact and look forward to him watching my dog in the future.

Rafael and his partner took fantastic care of my senior dog, who was still recovering from recent surgery. They were incredibly attentive, providing daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Theyâre a super communicative and genuinely kind couple â I could tell Mistral was in great hands. I wouldnât hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommended!
