“I love Samantha. So does my puppy. What’s not to love? We have had her sit Elvis a few times now and are always so happy about his stay! She sends photos and updated often - and replies fast. Laika (her dog) is Elvis’s new bestie!!! Samantha even bought Elvis more food because he ran out before we even had time to panic!!! She is amazing.”
“Jody was extremely professional, responded exceptionally fast, provided photos, and is very knowledgeable in the care of dogs! He recommended some food options for my pit mastiff who has skin allergies and was very patient and kind to my beagle who has reactivity issues. I highly recommend using his boarding services if you want to feel confident that your pups will be taken care of while you’re away.”
“We had such a wonderful experience Lynna. She took such great care of our Bella and treated her like her own. She kept us updated throughout the stay by sending pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly patient and caring—even hand-fed our little one when needed! Her two dogs were also so sweet and well-behaved, and they got along wonderfully. She even went the extra mile and did a little photoshoot for our pup, which was absolutely adorable! 🥰📸 We truly appreciate all the love, attention, and care she gave our dog. We would definitely recommend Lynna and would happily book with her again! ❤️🐾”
“Kyungyeon was above and beyond the most incredible sitter for our Copper!! We got so many updates and made sure our boy was happy and comfortable the whole time!!!! We are so thankful!!”
“Julie and her family took incredible of our golden while we were out of the country!! This is our second time leaving Lily with Julie and we definitely will be again in the future. Thank you so much, again, Julie!! :)”
“Wrigley always enjoys his time with Nancy. We enjoy the pics and videos that Nancy shares while we are away from our pup. We always know that Wrigley is in good hands with Nancy and we don't have to worry about him!”
“Jonathan was amazing! Our dog is young and very high energy and I felt safe leaving her with a very capable sitter and dog trainer! Also he sent videos and updates and she loved it there! Thank you JC, for taking such good care of our baby girl! We will definitely book again!”
“I couldn't be happier with Yelena! My pups were well taken care of, with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. Yelena was incredibly flexible with my schedule and always responsive to any questions or updates I needed. The regular photos and updates gave me a peace of mind while away. It’s clear she treats every pet like her own. Highly recommend!”
“A+++++ pet sitter! Jenna did a phenomenal job caring for my elderly terrier. She was incredibly attentive, thorough, and thoughtful in everything she did. It was obvious from the start that she is a true dog lover and genuinely cares about the pets entrusted to her. Having an older dog comes with some extra worries, but Jenna’s attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Jenna pet sit again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy! She also sent some great pics that I saved on my phone.”
“Brittney was great. She was able to keep our Great Dane for an entire week while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates of our pup while we were gone and he definitely seemed to enjoy his time.”
“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”
“Stephanie and her family were absolutely perfect for Bishop. He was right at home and received so much love and care. We recently stopped boarding our dog due to his anxiety at being left alone in a room. It was so refreshing to take a vacation and not worry about Bishop as he was happy in their home. We’re already thinking about our next trip and booking with Stephanie.”
“Mae and I love Mary! She gives me updates and sends lots of pictures while I’m away. Mae can be a pretty anxious pup, but she settled right in. Mary learns the ins and outs of each pup that stays with her, and she really works to make them comfortable. I completely trust Mary with my Mae.”
“My dog just came home from 6 days with Jeff and he seems so happy and relaxed! He had a great time! Jeff provided updates which helped me to feel at ease. Would book him again! Thank you!!!”
“Viral and his wife were great with my high energy Shiba Inu! They sent a bunch of photos and videos to keep us updated on him, while we were away, which was great for peace of mind! 10/10 recommend!”
“Janay and her family took such great care of our fur baby! I don't think she wanted to come home. I am so grateful we were able to relax on vacation knowing our baby was in good hands. Janey sent plenty of pics and remained in communication our whole stay”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverwood
Courtnie was WONDERFUL! You can tell that she is a true dog lover and is passionate about taking great care of animals. I was so impressed with how much thought, care, and preparation that went into watching our dog. I felt so reassured that Chip would be in great hands, and he most definitely was. She gave fun updates and it was clear that our dog had an excellent time. Would highly recommend and will be booking Courtnie again!!!
If I could leave more than 5 stars I would! Courtnie’s care for my pup while I was gone was above and beyond! I booked last minute and she was very accommodating to my schedule and responded very quickly. While I was gone, she treated my girl as one of her own. She gave me updates multiple times a day to make me feel at ease. She catered to my girl like no other dog sitter ever has! I could not recommend her enough to any and everyone! I have zero complaints and will definitely be using her again! 1000/10

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Riverwood 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 Riverwood home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Riverwood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverwood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Riverwood 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. 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.
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 IN 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
