“Denise was wonderful. My dog is very timid with new people and he felt comfortable with Denise and her two sweet small dogs immediately. Really, it was a perfect fit. Denise was welcoming and communicative throughout. So happy to have met her!”
“We were delighted with the care that Mike provided Maisie. Mike understood that as a small dog, she would need some snuggle time to reassure her. Mike and his wife clearly love dogs and I was confident that they would care for her as if she was their own pet. I would not hesitate to call them again.”
“From our very first meeting, I could tell Sylwia was special! She took so much time and care to get to know our pup Lucy, understand her, and ensure that Lucy would be comfortable and successful during her stay with Sylwia. She was incredibly thoughtful and overall provided a fantastic experience- sending updates throughout the day, making sure that we are comfortable as well. Would absolutely recommend Sylwia!”
“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”
“Julie took great care of Daisy for us while we went away on a trip over Thanksgiving. She kept us updated daily with photos and how she was doing. We would highly recommend Julie. She cared for Daisy exceptionally well :)”
About: Hi pet parents! My name is Elena. Im obsessed with all animals, especially dogs. Im happiest outdoors and go on adventure walks with my own dog every day. No matter the weather, I’d rather be on a walk! *I’ve inquired with Rover about why my rating is lower, it is from an incomplete booking and nothing can be done. Please see my reviews for testaments to the quality of care I provide! I am a geologist and work multi-week shifts elsewhere in the country, so when I am home I have lots of time to schedule pet care. I am especially looking for dog walking and drop-in visits that I can schedule according to your pet’s needs. For boarding, I only care for one dog at a time (or two from the same family). This would be perfect for a senior dog, special needs dog, or a puppy which requires loving attention and a calm, quiet space. I want to ensure a safe and happy experience for you and your pet. I don’t take any risks if I am caring for someone else’s pet, the same as I would expect for care of my own dog. Your dog will feel safe with me. I always use praise and positive reinforcement to best work with your pup.
“Rose was great with Gizmo! She sent me lots of pictures and updates and you can tell she takes care of each dog depending on their personality/preferences. He had a great time boarding there.”
“This was the second time that Emily sat our dog and cat at her house and we couldn’t be happier! She is communicative and detail oriented and I can tell that my pets loved her and her family. We will absolutely use Emily again.”
“Veska and her family are wonderful people. My dog enjoyed his visit and Veska was more than understanding of our delay picking up. She kept my dog one more night without a problem and sent me pictures that she captured of my dog looking happy, comfortable and feeling right at home ! Will definitely be my first choice the next time I leave town.”
“Jude was so great to work with. He always responded to my questions very quickly. Bronson had the best time with Jude and his family! I definitely felt very comfortable leaving Bronson with them. He came home exhausted!! And he made a new friend with their dog, Sammy. I definitely will be bringing Bronson back!! Thank you for treating my dog like family.”
About: I have had dos and cats most of my life, I currently have 2 cats and my boyfriend has an adopted pup from Aruba who we adopted while on vacation! I am recently retired, and am looking to fill some spare time taking care of animals, I am available most days and on short notice. I can stop by to feed your cats while you are on vacation and spend some time plating with them so they have company. Can take your dog out for walks when needed.
“Shana took wonderful care of my 4 month year puppy, and I couldn’t recommend her more. As a new pet owner, I was worried being away from my pup, but Shana made this experience super easy. She sent regular updates and photos, and Sancho seemed to have a wonderful time. When I need to board again, I’ll choose Shana and I recommend you do as well.”
“We just love Rebeca and her whole family! They all pitch in and take care of the dogs that stay with them and we have a VERY active dog so it is so good for her to have lots of people to play with while we’re away. :) I can tell Cici always has the best time with them and we don’t have to worry about her at all while on vacation. We got the most gorgeous pics of her to see all the fun walks she was taking and fun games she was playing with their daughter. And at the end of the stay their daughter gave her a little Halloween goody bag with the CUTEST note talking about her favorite moment of Cici’s stay with her. It’s just so sweet you can see how much they care about your dog when they are with them. Cici will for sure be back over and over again! 🥰”
“They were AMAZING. Sent us cute photos and videos throughout. I can tell our dog Lucy had a great time. They were also very polite and kind the entire time. We've booked with them prior as well with the same experience.”
“Rita took wonderful care of our dog Louis for a whole week while we were away. Louis had company from Ritas own dogs who are lovely and adorable. I highly recommend Rita and we will have louis stay over any time again with Rita. Thank you so much”
“Donna was the perfect fit for my elderly dog Zoey! Zoey struggles with anxiety and can't go to a kennel, but Donna was so loving and attentive. Zoey had a blast and came home in such high spirits!”
“Mikayla and Alen took great care of our frenchie Zeus. He loves cuddles and they made sure he got all the loving care he needed! We would definitely have them watch Zeus again!!”
“Dolev was very considerate and accommodating towards my dog’s special needs with separation anxiety and dog reactivity. She was quick to respond to any questions I had prior to booking and while Chip was in her care she sent me updates as requested. Would definitely recommend her and book her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Amesbury
We had a great experience with Donna and John! They took such great care of Riley while we were away in Spain, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. Donna kept us updated and sent us pictures/videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. Riley had an absolute blast! She got plenty of attention, walks, neck rubs, and even some fun play dates with the other dogs. It was so nice to hear how happy and comfortable she was during her stay. Donna and John were incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. Riley came home happy and clearly had a wonderful time. We would absolutely recommend Donna and John and will definitely reach out to them again the next time Riley needs a sitter. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️🐶

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Amesbury 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 Amesbury 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 Amesbury.
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 Amesbury. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Amesbury 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 MA 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.
