“This was the first time I have used a pet sitter for my little guy and Heather made me feel at ease. Heather sent updates on how things were going which included pictures which allowed me not to worry. Thank you Heather you are amazing and you will be seeing Peanut again for sure.”
“Tracy is fantastic, she was so accommodating and obviously cares so much about pups. Her place is really nice in a quiet neighborhood with a bunch of doggies and a 5mph speed limit. I felt so comfortable leaving Halo with her and will gladly again if I'm back on the area!”
“Christy did a great job with our dog Lucy. We dropped Lucy off on our way to the White Mountains. Christy gave Lucy a lot of attention and took her on nice walks. She also sent pictures and answered texts quickly. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Good coordination and discussion prior for 1st boarding - very helpful to ensure comparability. Nice set up for activities and doggie leisure. Blackjack came home happy and tired. Nice folks.”

“Michele was the perfect host for our goldendoodle while we were in the area for graduation weekend. Based on the photos she sent me, he appeared to enjoy looking at the wildlife out her windows, going for walks with her dog and stretching out on her sofa. Michele was very flexible about drop off and pickup times as well. A great experience for everyone!”
“Susan & John are fantastic, they took great care of Oliver. He loved playing with Emily and all her toys. We’ll definitely be back for more doggie play dates!! Thankful for Sue being so flexible with late notice and timing.”
“Our 4 year old Labradoodle started have anxiety at the kennels we brought him too. We tried Ben and Laura and it was a great experience. Goobah got along great with their beautiful dogs and loved being able to go on the furniture to get comfy. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful home for our buddy while we were away!!! We will definitely book in the future with you.”
“Hailey was fantastic with our pups. She sent us pictures and updates for them to help set our minds at ease. There was plenty of room outside for our dogs to run and play. When we picked up our dogs, they were happy and playful. They were very clearly well taken care of. We will definitely use Hailey again.”
“Emily took great care of our two older dogs. After our initial meet and greet we felt comfortable leaving our girls in her care. We loved the daily updates and many pictures she sent and they came back to us happy and relaxed. We would definitely book Emily again in the future.”
“This was the first time we've left Macey with someone other than family. Jane put us at ease when we came to meet her a few days before she assumed responsibility for our little girl. In addition, she provided updates and some photos so we could see that Macey adjusted to this environment. We couldn't have picked a better person to entrust with a dog that we love with all our heart. I highly recommend Jane to anyone needing to place a dog for boarding!”
“Diana was great! She was very accomadating with pick up and drop off times. She keeps you updated with how you're pet is doing and sends daily progress reports/pictures. I would use Diana without hesitation. Thank you Diana.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up in a family with them, so caring for them has always been second nature. Over the years, I’ve also looked after dogs for neighbors, giving me experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with both large and small dogs and enjoy adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs—whether that’s an energetic walk, a trip to the dog park, or simply providing a calm, relaxed environment. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know what makes them feel comfortable and happy. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can dedicate to each pet. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing, and communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. My wife works from home, so between the two of us there’s always someone around. We live on Farr farm, an enclosed and expansive former farm on Farr road, so named for my family who has farmed this land for over a century. We already take our own friendly dog, Bunny, out on walks two to three times a day, and I’m happy to include guest dogs on frequent walks and park visits based on their personality, energy level, and your preferences. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. During Lebanon’s hotter days, we carefully plan walks around the weather, avoid the hottest parts of the day, provide plenty of water, and monitor for signs of overheating to ensure every outing is enjoyable and safe. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Before caring for a dog, I like to learn about their routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and any behaviors or triggers so I can keep their experience as familiar and stress-free as possible. On our property, when dogs are outside they’re either on a leash walking or in our enclosed large yard space, never bring left unsupervised. Dogs always have access to fresh water, and receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and pay close attention to how each dog is feeling, especially during hot weather or after exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I’ll follow all instructions carefully, keep the home clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Looking for something a little more personal than a traditional kennel? I provide a comfortable, home-style boarding experience in a private, cozy sidebarn where your dog can relax, play, and be treated like part of the family while you’re away. I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and other animals. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I focus on providing individual attention and a low-stress environment tailored to each guest. I’m available most weekends and offer flexible scheduling upon request. I have dogs of my own, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine Dogs enjoy time in the secure fenced areas and, when appropriate, supervised opportunities to explore the five acres of woods. They also have quiet time to rest and relax in the private, cozy side barn.
“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
86% of Alexandria sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Alexandria landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alexandria 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 Alexandria.
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.
You and your Alexandria 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 NH 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.
