Dog Boarding in Rivervale

Zoe is a rare and essential resource for anyone with a high-energy, excitable dog. She took care of my border collie at the last minute over Christmas (my family's dog has become more protective and less dog-tolerant after the addition of a new baby to the family), and knows exactly how to read and work with an active dog. I am always concerned that someone could fall for the border collie hype and exercise him more when he actually is just too excited and needs help calming down. I have complete confidence that Zoe could handle any type of dog temperament, Finn had a fabulous time and was well looked after. We're lucky to have someone like Zoe on Rover.

We had another sitter booked; our pet and everything were packed in the car, ready to meet the sitter & leave for our trip; then the sitter ended up being a no-show. Thankfully, Nikole replied to my SOS on Rover! We were able to take our precious Princess Pickles to Nikole's right away. She & her spouse were incredible! They listened to our concerns, and were very understanding and supportive. They took excellent care of our baby girl. Nikole knew we were anxious and apprehensive, and sent daily pics and videos. Nikole and her family gave Pickles time and space to get used to her new surroundings, and helped the process by brushing her and giving her treats (her favorite things!). In the past, after being boarded with other sitters, Pickles got sick, was extremely clingy, had nightmares, etc. None of these things happened after her time with Nikole! It was an easy, seamless transition. We are SO grateful and thankful for Nikole and her family! She's the only sitter for us from now on. We can't recommend her enough. (Just don't bombard her with bookings so she's not available when we need her. 😉)

Tony & Katrina were great and Teddy enjoyed his time with them. They took Teddy on walks and to the dog park everyday while he was with them. They sent us pictures of Teddy everyday and were responsive if we had any questions. Teddy loved his time with Pesto and he can’t wait to meet Pesto at the dog park again! We would recommend Tony & Katrina for anyone looking for their dog to be pampered and to have a great time.

Mary Jane and her partner were amazing! We just adopted our pup a few months prior to our trip and I was worried about how he would behave due to his high energy and slight anxiety. However, I soon realized I had no reason to worry about him. Mary Jane had a room set up for Cedar where he could get alone time if he needed it, and her own dogs were the perfect playmates for him. The fenced-in backyard was perfect for getting out all that excess energy. She sent pictures every day with updates on how he was settling in, which was wonderful because I think I had more anxiety than he did. She did everything to make sure we were both comfortable with the arrangements and judging by how worn out he was when we got home, I would say she was successful. I will definitely be re-booking Mary Jane in the future!

Mary and Michael are fantastic dog parents themselves and it shows in their dog sitting! Our boys had a great time, and we received constant updates with playtime photos. We trust them 1000% and highly recommend them for all your doggy-care needs!

Lainey and Stevie had a great time with Sam while we were out of town for a night. He was very responsive and sent us several pics and videos so we could see them playing. Would definitely recommend!

Over the past year I have left my dog, Lincoln, in Colleen’s loving & capable care several times. When she greets him, he gets excited and obviously enjoys staying with her in her home. It’s wonderful to go out of town without the least bit of worry about my furry kid!

Sabrina and her family took great care of my five month old puppy! They made sure he ate his meals on time, went on walks, and provided him with a leash+plenty of toys!! 10/10 experience for my dog and would 100% rebook again!

Celsei was great! She updated me with photos, and even cleaned my kitties before giving them back. She was super sweet and made the whole process very easy.

I had a really nice worry free Thanksgiving for the first time since 2016. I cannot say enough good things about Kelly. I was impressed how she handled several pets and she listened CAREFULLY to my concerns. Nate was tired and happy when he got home. Usually he’s stressed. Not this time. VERY HAPPY!!!

Savannah did a wonderful job with Gizmo. I had never left him anywhere before because of his anxieties. She gave him the love and care he needed. And he was fine! Will definitely get her again.

Mason was great with our dogs and we appreciated his flexibility when our return flight got delayed. Dogs came home happy! Highly recommend him

If you really live your pup these are the folks to leave him/her with. They are kind and loving and take such great care of your baby while you are gone. I was afraid our dog would just prefer to stay there because they treated him like a prince!

Jax had a great time during his stay!

We left our puppy, Maple, with Trista for just over 24 hours. Trista sent us several updates and pictures throughout the day and Maple definitely had a blast. We felt well-informed and able to trust that she was being well cared for. Thank you, Trista!
