“Becky and Bill are amazing! Our pooch Barley stayed with them for a week and you could tell he was loved and cared for. Becky sent regular updates and even gave Barley a new nick name "Lion guy" :) Barley also got great socialization with the other pups. We will definitely be calling Becky and Bob again for our next trip out of town”
“Taz was in great hands! The love she gave to him and cared for him was amazing! Taz will definitely be going back to Lucille. She was sending pictures and updates on him to us and we loved that.”
“Daisy’s two week stay with Nancy and family was great! It was such a relief to know we were leaving her with someone so friendly and reliable. Nancy sent pictures and messages often (a big relief for our daughter who really missed her friend!). And when we picked Daisy up, she was happy and healthy and clean and obviously well cared for.”
“Tilly seemed to enjoy her overnight stay and interacted well with Alexandra’s dog. There was excellent communication between us with several great status photos provided. Will certainly use her services again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Andrea was amazing! She was very communicative and send lots of pictures of my puppy playing and having fun. It was my puppy’s first time being dog-sat so I was nervous but Andrea made me feel very comfortable with trusting her with my pup. I would definitely recommend her services and will be booking with her again. Thank you! 😊”
“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!!”
“Christina took such wonderful care of Milo and Ellie while we were away. She kept us at ease with regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear they were in great hands the entire time. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust Christina again and highly recommend her”
“We are so grateful to have found Julia in our hometown! She was a fantastic sitter for our Samoyed and treated him like one of her own kiddos. She was a great communicator and provided multiple pictures and updates each day which we greatly appreciated! Highly recommend!”
“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 ❤️🐾❤️🐾”
“Bae was great and cam through lase minute when we got stuck, and our dog seemed to do really great with them. On top of that when we arrived one day earlier she initiated a refund which we did not ask for. I heartily recommend her for your dog.”
“Katherine was amazing! She made us feel so at ease of leaving our baby boy. He couldn’t have gotten better care by anybody else. She only takes one dog at a time so they get all of the attention. Thank you so much for being so wonderful and kind and helping us out last minute!! :)”
“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”
“Katherine did an excellent job watching our pup. We had an unexpected complication with a paw injury so Pepper had to take antibiotics and wear a cone, but Katherine was was totally up to the task.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Amherst
Henry had a wonderful time, he got plenty of love and activity. It was just as much of a vacation for him as it was for me, and I got plenty of picture updates to know you was doing well while I went away. As always, Laura and her family and home were wonderful and a safe and comfortable place for Henry to have a mini vacation.

There are 817 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.
