“Andrea is excellent! My pup was so happy in her care, as I could see from her photos he constantly had a big grin on his little face so I was very reassured throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Great communication and expertise from an experienced pro. We’d definitely go back again in the future. Thank you Andrea!”

“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.”

“Katherine took care of our senior dog Serena for a whole week while we were away on a family trip. We were so worried about leaving her with someone we didn't know. We took Serena to meet Katherine ahead of time and even did a trial sleepover. I can honestly say, we had no worries while we were away. Katherine sent us updates and Serena had a great week. I cannot recommend Katherine enough.”

“Bielka was great. She responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate my pup last minute, when my usual sitter had to cancel. She took good care of my dog, and was able to handle her quirks and energy with seeming ease. When I picked up my dog, Bielka gave me a little summary of their time together and let me know how my dog did. She truly cared and loved her, and I so appreciated that. It's not always easy to find somebody who will provide that care and form a connection with your dog over a short period of time and it feels like Bielka did just that. My dog seemed totally at ease. I'm so grateful for Bielka and would 100% recommend her!”

“Thank you Ashley for everything! My dog Winston stayed with Ashley this past week and she was excellent. She made me feel very confident that she cared and loved my dog while I was away. She was flexible and willing to work with my dog's special needs. She was in constant contact and sent photos on the regular. Her home was clean and had a great yard for my dog. I highly recommend Ashley :) THANK YOU!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, having owned and been with many dogs throughout my life. I provide a safe environment with a large yard, stay home full-time during care, administer medications when needed, and have personally trained each of my dogs, including my French bulldog, Rodolfo. I have flexible schedule, working from home and can provide flexible pick up and drop off times. Playing with the dogs gives me multiple opportunities to step away from work during the day. I live on more than 2 acres on a quiet road. I have a friendly 2 year old French Bulldog that loves to play with other dogs.

“Cherie was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and for my new dog I had only had for two months, so I was uncertain about the whole process. Cherie was very responsive and easy to work with. My dog isn’t the easiest dog ever but Cherie managed her well. With the big fenced in backyard and other dog friends to play with, I wasn’t sure my dog waned to leave at the end!! Highly recommend. Almost forgot- we had a few travel hiccups coming back and Cherie was really understanding and we were able to book an extra night. Five stars!”

I’m pretty sure Moxie didn’t want to come home because she had so much fun getting all the cuddles, attention and playtime with the other dog. I highly recommend choosing Dayna for your sitting needs. I will definitely contact her again the next time I need a sitter”

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!”

Highly recommended, I'll definitely go back to her if I need to board them again.”

She sent many pics and videos and made sure he ate and took his meds. She was a super sweet person and I am confident we will use her to watch Toby next time we need to go out of town. Thank sp much Thalia!!”

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Amherst

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Amherst on Rover is $63.27 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 806 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Amherst. About 93% 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.
