“Cherie had my two large dogs for a weekend. She has a nice, large fenced in yard so plenty of space for them to rome and sniff. She had supplied pics of them walking, playing and chillin' Grif and Cinn were happy to see me when I picked them up, but they still did go back for a few more moments to be in the yard. I would absolutely recommend Cherie for your doggies boarding. Grif and Cinn will be be returning there again for sure”
“Julia was an excellent sitter for our dog Nacho. Her children were very excited to have him over and definitely helped to tire him out. We got regular updates with pictures & it looked like he was having a blast!”
“Ralph is just great! He took care of our black lab for over a week and I think our boy is depressed that he had to come back home! This was our first time finding someone other than a boarding facility to take care of our dog and Ralph was wonderful. He is a natural with dogs and just a really nice guy. He has a great place with lots of outdoor space and his attitude and kindness cannot be beat. I was a bit nervous leaving our dog because he's a solid 85 lbs and he can be a lot to handle, but Ralph had no issue with him and they had a great week. Ralph sent pictures and updates daily. It was really fun to see how happy our dog was. They walked several miles every day. Ralph followed all of our requests and put us at ease right away. He really cares and wants the best. He also had other dogs in his care for some of the time our dog was there, and he handled that so well. We are thrilled that we found him and will definitely be reaching out again. 10/10 recommend!”
“Second time we left Sophie with Katelyn and her family for 7 days and she loved it. Katelyn sends daily pictures and follows our meal plan for Sophie. Her kids love having Sophie over.”
“Our first boarding experience couldn’t have gone better. He accommodated us last minute when a family member backed out of house sitting. More importantly I learned commercial places leave the dogs unattended after business hours so finding Donnie with his in property boarding was a blessing to us. We actually plan to begin some dog training with Donnie, as he told us our dogs were great but could use a little work, lol. We have to playful spoiled pups, Wesley 5.4lbs mixed yorkie and Pablo 40+ lbs golden doodle both under a year. Neither dogs showed any signs of concerns at pick up as well as following the pick up. We will definitely use him again!! THANK YOU DONNIE!!”
“Juliana and family have watched Charlie several times and he is so happy and it's like he is going on vacation too. They send photos and he loves playing with their dogs and kids. I can't recommend them enough ❤️🐾❤️🐾”
“Go no further ! I’ve found THE caretaker for my Madeline. When Lucille got down on the floor to greet and introduce herself to Madeline, I knew she was the GOLD standard in “fur baby” caregiving. She went above and beyond the 3 page list of instructions I gave her. 🙄 I had complete confidence, trust and peace of mind knowing Madeline was about to be spoiled, she was included in her daily routines which included car rides and shopping all while observing for any stress. I actually will, without hesitation, be calling Lucille for future overnights. Her love of dogs is a true gift! GLK”
“Lindsey was great. I needed someone good at the last minute and luckily she was available. She kept us updated on what Izzy was up to (via pics and vids) and Izzy seems to have had a great time there with Lindsey and her girls. So, I will def be using her again when the need arises.”
“I am so thrilled to have found Judy!! I've had Shilo stay with Judy and her husband a few times now and I couldn't be happier. Shilo loves to run and the large fenced in backyard is perfect. Judy's dog, Rosie is sweet and welcoming. The updates and photos are great and relieves any worry or stress that I may have had!!! When it comes time for pick up, although Shilo appears to be happy to see me she also seems quite content to stay with judy....which is a really good sign!!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Our girl , Anne, was treated like family and she had a blast with Rachael’s dog , Kevin! I personally love receiving update and pictures ! We will definitely be sending Anne over for boarding again when we are traveling.”
“Nancy was so great. She took care of our cat while we were on vacation. She was in touch with us and keeping us updated on daily bases and provided lovely pics for our cat. Our cat looked very comfortable and happy. It was a peace of mind having Nancy taking care of our Pet. Will do it again as needed.”
“Dayna is amazing she took such great care of my King Charles Spaniel 20 months old. Made her feel like a queen. Highly recommend Dayna - I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Samantha and her son are amazing! Our Doodle Phoebe had the best time staying with her and her family. We received pics each day with a little note about how her day was going. That made our day each day! We highly recommend her and definitely will be using her for daycare and overnight again!😀”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I have experience of caring for multiple animals at once. At one point we had 4 cats, kittens, and a dog in my house! Since moving out on my own I haven’t had any animals of my own, but any chance I get to care for someone else’s furry friends I take! My sister has a 4 year old lab mix pup that I take care of all the time from a night out to a week long vacation, I’m more than willing to give him the love he deserves. I’ll be glad to do the same for your fur babies I currently work a 8-5 Mon-Friday, but I have an hour during each day where I can do a mid-day visit! I’d love to do walks before work, but also willing to do evening walking. Weekend work will be mostly for the over night care!! I live in an apartment complex with other dogs so it is important that your dogs get along with others if they will be at my home! If they are with me we have a dog run where I will take the dog to play with a tennis ball, we would go on walks and I have tons of toys to keep them entertained while inside!
“Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”
“Aya and Abdullah took excellent care of my 2 cats. My cats were both rescues and I was unsure of how they would behave in a new environment with other cats. Aya made sure they were gradually introduced and felt comfortable in their own private space. She provided regular updates and pics. The cats seemed so happy where they were and also very happy when I brought them home, no bad habits developed duringn their 2 week stay. I wholeheartedly recommend Aya and Abdullah! Thanks again!!”

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.
We had a fantastic experience with Nick as our dog sitter for Remy. He was excellent at keeping us updated, sending us regular pictures which we really appreciated. It was clear Remy was in great hands and received wonderful care. We highly recommend Nick and will absolutely be booking him again for future needs!

There are 826 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Amherst. About 92% of Amherst sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
