“she was super great! took very good care of my dog and i’ll definitely bring him back to her sent me plenty of videos and photos to make sure he was having a great time and i love it! thank you so much”

“Suzanne did such a great job keeping us informed on Mabel-daily pictures and updates! She even had a doggy birthday cake for her. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs”

“We were a bit nervous as our BB had never been boarded. Turned out she had a fabulous vacation! BB had made herself at home with Shauni & Connor as well as their young son. She enjoyed playing, hugs & daily walks when the weather permitted. She had fun with her new dog pals. We love she was treated as one of their own. We will definitely be booking fun play dates now &then,or other times we need a pup sitter.”


“Tiffany and her family took such wonderful care of Benny while we were on vacation! It was clear that he received plenty of attention, affection, and love during his stay. Knowing he was safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely trust Tiffany with Benny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring pet sitter!”

About: I am a responsible, reliable, and intuitive dog lover, who will care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand the importance of showing up when scheduled and tailoring the service to your dog's individual needs. I grew up with family dogs since birth, and have cared for my own dogs over the past 20 years. I started my own professional dog walking and sitting business in 2018. I have experience with many different breeds, ages, and abilities. Through my dog walking business, I also have extensive experience walking small groups of dogs off-leash in nature. If you are interested in this service, I have two female golden retrievers who would be thrilled to join your dog on an adventure hike, providing enrichment, socialization, fun, and lots of exercise! I've recently relocated to Strafford, NH so I'm looking forward to building my clientele in a new area! I serve the Southern Lakes Region of NH. Please note: -Boarding and Sitting Nightly Rates include potty breaks in the morning and evening, as well as a 30 minute drop-in visit or private walk midday. Additional time for the midday walk, adventure hikes, or additional walks may be added on at a discounted rate. Dog care is my full-time job and life! Drop-In Visits & Walks: I'm available Monday through Friday, 8am-4pm, for walks and drop-in visits, with some after-hours availability on an as-needed basis (please note, after hours requests may incur an additional fee). Overnight Sitting & Boarding: Available 7 days/week. Since I care for many dogs during the week, your dog may be hanging out at home for a period of time while I walk other dogs or run errands. Other than that, I'll be home with your dog! Your dog will be treated the same as my dogs, and that means they will be the center of my attention! Boarding: This is a very calm and quiet household (with the exception of some barking) - no kids. My two female golden retrievers (2yrs & 10yrs) are allowed on our couches, so yours would be too if you allow it. Your dog is welcome to sleep in my husband's and my bedroom, or downstairs in the living room/kitchen if they prefer a cool tile/wood floor. Free-range dogs are welcome and crate training is not required unless your dog is destructive or unsafe when left unattended. Please bring your dog's crate if needed, as well as their bed, food, and any other items they may need. We have a fenced in yard to let them out for potty-breaks and to play with each other as well. Overnight Sitting: I have many years of experience staying in clients' homes with their dogs. In addition to caring for your dog(s), I'm happy to take in mail/packages and water house plants. If you want, I can even bring one or both of my dogs with me to provide socialization and companionship.
“Rosie was very happy and well taken care of. Jessica went out of her way to make sure she ate since Rosie was homesick and not eating her dry food. I was updated daily with pictures.”

“Donna was great! DJ enjoyed his stay with her, he was happy and safe in her care. She provided a daily update with a photo which was fun to see! I am definitely going to book with Donna 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!”

“Hannah and her husband were great with our older dog. She was well cared for and loved to play with their dog. The frequent updates from them let me know she was having a great time!”

“I booked Andres services again after our first very positive experience! In all the photos Andrea sent, I could so clearly see how comfortable my senior wiener Peggy was at her house. I had not one worry about my dog when I was on my trip. Andrea will be our first choice for the next time we need a sitter!”

“I can’t say enough how happy I am to have found Julianna. She has a great personality, is informative and took our girl (Brook) in as one of her family, in fact - her entire family took her in. We didn’t get the usual ‘cold shoulder’ from Brook when we returned from our vacation, so that speaks volumes. This is our third time we’ve had to leave Brook to travel. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Hard to leave, but knowing Brook will be well taken care of and happy makes it MUCH easier. She earned and deserves all five stars from our family!”

“John was great! He communicated well throughout our stay and provided regular updates, which we really appreciated. He has a nice, big fenced-in yard for the pups to run around and play, and Cannoli was such a sweet pup! We would definitely recommend John and would be happy to have him watch our pup again.”

About: I have been a dog owner since I was 5 and for then past 37 years I have had primarily beagles along with one Vizsla with typically 2 at any given time. Our last beagle Charlie passed away a few months ago and while we would like the freedom having no pet allows us we miss the company and unconditional love they offer us. My wife worked as a vet tech for 10 years so we are comfortable administering meds and I have been pretty successful with training pups (yes even beagles). I work mostly from home and my wife has the summers off from teaching so it fits great unto our routine and it would be a pleasure to have dogs underfoot again. We have crates if dogs feel at home in them but they are welcome in all the rooms downstairs. We live on a long dirt road which is perfect for walks and if it gets too hot we have a cool basement and a pond for them to swim in.

“Katherine was amazing!!! She took care of our dog as if he was her own. We had a long vacation and she took him for the whole time, no problem!!! She even took an overnight so he would be familiar with her prior to our trip. We will use her again in the future!!! I wish there were 6 stars to give!!!”

About: I offer calm, gentle pet care with close attention to each dog’s comfort and routine. I approach every pet with patience and kindness to help them feel safe and at ease. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets my full attention. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and consistent care based on each pet’s routine. I have 2 friendly fur babies one cat one dog both get along great with others animals to ensure safety and comfort in the home
“Dayna is a true dog person. Upon entering her home and meeting with her I knew my dog was in excellent hands. Dayna took such good care of my girl and sent regular updates. I didn't worry for a second when my dog was with her. Dayna is friendly, kind, and will take perfect care of your dog and make sure they have such a good time. It was like summer camp for my pup. Thank you, Dayna!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 329 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Barnstead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Barnstead 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 Barnstead home-away-from-home, 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 Barnstead.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Barnstead 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 , 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 .
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.
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.
