“We were looking for a place to board our special needs Golden and stumbled upon the River app. It was our first time boarding him and we didn’t want to leave him at a kennel. Parker took to Heather right away when we went for our initial visit, and enjoyed exploring one of the many fenced in areas of her property.

She kept me updated on how Parker was doing (response time was fast) and sent pictures of him on vacation at the farm!! Parker loved staying with her, and will be back again!!”

Alex was so wonderful to work with and Peter truly was not ready to leave when I went to pick him up. She sent tons of updates with photos, was incredibly responsive, and most importantly took great care of our pup. We will absolutely be using her again when we’re in the area!
Doris was just wonderful! My sweet Ellie is a senior and needed meds given at multiple times a day, and also needed gentle loving care. I was so worried to leave her! Doris responded to a call and all texts promptly. Many pictures were sent and I truly was able to not worry as much after I left, as I did before I left. Thank you Doris!!
Cheyenne was really great! She was communicative before and during our dog’s stay, provided lots of updates and asked questions when needed. She has a big yard with lots of room to run around, and took Bear on long daily walks. Our dog was super happy with her! We would definitely use her again.
Matthew took Rex as a last minute boarder after our regular sitter had an emergency. He was really gentle and understanding with our elderly dog who was confused and nervous to be in a new place. We received plenty of updates and photos of Rex going on walks and snuggling. Excellent sitter!!
Ty and her family welcomed our pup Nelly into their home with love and care. We had a relaxing vacation knowing that Nelly was well taken care of. Ty sent adorable pictures and updates and was very responsive and super easy to coordinate with. We’re first time dog owners and it was obvious that Ty was experienced and helped guide us throughout the process. Thank you Ty!
Molly was amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and she took wonderful care of him. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and videos every few hours, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our pup felt comfortable and bonded with her quickly. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Molly again in the future. Highly recommend her!
