“Lindsey and her family greeted my dog so warmly she didn't even realize that i had gone. Nice pics and a checkin during her overnight stay. I picked up a happy energetic dog . Would definitely recommend!”
“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”
“This is my 2nd time boarding my dog with Alyssa. Alyssa and Carleena took amazing care of her while she was in heat, providing plenty attention and play time with females and neutered males in a controlled environment. It's a comfort knowing my dog is in such good hands at Alyssa's!”
“I always worry that Cheese comes on a little too excited when she first meets people, but Dalyce seemed super prepared. Cheese came in for the meet and greet and after a good sniff laid down to chew on one of the toys she provided for visiting pups. Communication was great and she sent lots of updates and photos. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m active and love being outside, so long walks and playtime are no problem. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I work at a restaurant Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays from 10am–10pm. On my days off I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m reliable and will make sure your pet gets lots of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away I have a fenced one-acre yard where dogs have plenty of space to run and play. I also have sand pits and dog toys for enrichment and exercise. If the owner is comfortable, I love taking dogs on hikes and walks on the rail trail in Londonderry. I used to have a Jack Russell, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs and making sure they stay active, safe, and happy.
“Williana was amazing at watching our two dogs over the weekend! She is a very thoughtful pet parent and asked me all the right questions on how to provide the best care for my pups. She was always in touch with updates through out the stay and made it very easy for us to be out of town knowing our dogs are in good hands. Highly recommend her, especially with a large fenced backyard is a dream for any dog! Will book again! Thank you!”

“Michael is hands-down, one of the best sitters out there. Michael kept us constantly updated while he watched our dog for the weekend. Additionally, we felt extremely comfortable with him due to his knowledge of animals/different breeds, communication, and overall professionalism. Our dog had an absolute blast staying with Michael at his awesome house- I mean, what dog wouldn’t love the large, fenced-in yard and a whole bunch of friends to play with. 11/10 would recommend Michael for any sitting/boarding services.”

About: I have been a dog lover and owner all of my life. Dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages! I honestly cannot imagine a home without the unconditional love of a dog. All of my years as a dog parent have taught me so much about their unique needs. I am a work from home registered nurse so they will never be alone or caged. Just free to be loved and cared for as if they were at their own home. My home is the best environment for ensuring a safe, healthy, and happy pup! It is large, cozy, smoke free, and has a huge fenced in backyard for endless running and play. I have two dogs who love having playmates and will offer a great opportunity for socializing! In the summer I have an inground pool for a refreshing swim, along with a blow up doggy splash pad and sprinklers.

Henry always has the BEST time with Laura. I got so many pictures of him doing his visit, and he was so happy and comfortable for his stay. Laura is my go to sitter whenever I need someone to watch Henry, and I know he's being loved on and cared for like a part of the family.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
