House Sitting Barnstead

“I had to go out of town for a few days and needed a boarding kennel for my 70lb lab. My kennel that I have used previously closed down operations so I needed to find someplace new. I couldn't find any place I liked so I started searching online for someone to care for my dog at their home. That is how I discovered Rover. I found Charles on Rover and rather than keeping my dog at his home he offered to come stay at my home. Which for me was the best possible outcome. It worked out great. Charles was very respectful of my home and my dog liked him. If I have to board my dog again, Charles will be my first choice. I highly recommend him.”

“Thanks, Hannah! We were worried about leaving our puppies home alone, but Hannah did great. They were calm, happy to be with her, and seemed to have a great time.”

“As always, our three cats and senior dog were well cared for while we were away. Bonnie has been a gift. It’s so comforting to know she is running the show while we are away!”

About: I've been caring for dogs, mine and other people's, since I was about 12. I have owned 2 wonderful Labs and have cared for everything from Chihuahuas to Dobermans. I have experience dealing with behavioral issues and teaching puppies their manners, and everything in between. I have a calm, assertive training style, but I know the importance of a nice fetch and cuddle too! I am happy to adapt to any special needs or medical issues your dog might have, and can administer whatever medication they need. I'd love to meet your pup and go for a nice walk! My schedule is very flexible! I'm new to NH so I'm looking to add some new dog friends to my life. With a couple days notice I can accommodate most requests! Safety is the #1 priority for both me and your pets. Caring for pets on their home turf helps to keep them comfortable and secure. On walks in the neighborhood I focus on leash manners and getting your dog's brain to work so they're ready for a nap when we're done.

“Grace was very professional. She listened to all of the instructions for caring for Rosie and followed them. Grace provided updates and any irregularities. I will definitely reach out for dog care again.”

“Heidi watched our 5 dogs while we were out of the country and I can’t rave enough! I was super anxious, but Heidi put my mind at ease and was always very communicative. Heidi is a true animal person and it shows. 5 stars from both my pups and I! We will definitely be using Heidi again for all future trips.”

About: Our family has been taking care of our own dogs as well as others for over 20 years. We are a loving family with a large private yard. And...Petey and Moxie love to play with other dogs! About this sitter: I have been working with dogs in various aspects of the pet care industry since I was a teenager. My primary focus is on Obedience Training and I specialize in providing personal professional care for your beloved pets. We treat them like family because after all they are family. Why I love dog sitting I grew up surrounded by the love of pets, we had dogs, cats, horses and a variety of other small pets. I started working with dogs 20 years ago and I have worked in many aspects of the pet care industry. From grooming to boarding to training and more I've done it all. My love for dogs is a core part of what makes me who I am. Meet my pets Petey, Moxie & Lola About my yard I have a large grassy yard and for now I have a 16 x 16 foot dog yard for fresh air and potty breaks but that will be added on to as soon as the yard is dry enough to add more fencing. My dog yard and the future space will have 6ft fences which are necessary to provide the best security for all dogs. My experience administering medication Yes. I can administer any medications your dog may need including injections.

“Lani was great taking care of our two senior dogs that have special needs. One is blind, requires medications, and wound care; the other one can’t hear. Lani handled it all with ease and professionalism, communicated well, and the dogs seem very comfortable. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Nikera! She stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated throughout the trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was well cared for, and it was clear everyone received lots of attention and love. She also went above and beyond by staying late to accommodate our travel schedule, which we truly appreciated. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful travel day much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. We really appreciated knowing our pets and home were such good hands while we were away and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“I have used Rover for years, and Erin has been by far the best dog sitter I have had the pleasure to work with. She house sat my 14-year-old Yorkie, Molly, for a week. Molly, in addition to being an elderly little one that requires daily oral meds, suffers from separation anxiety. She’s an extremely picky eater that tends to mope around and not eat when I have to go out of town and can’t take her with me. Erin kept my little girl company and was as sweet and kind to her as if she had known Molly for ages! She medicated Molly as instructed, took her for her little old lady slow walks around the yard, and sent me lots of updates and pictures. Erin was not only amazing with my Molly, but she was also very respectful of my house and even offered to wait for me to be home before leaving in case there were any issues with my flights. She genuinely cared for my fur baby, and that meant the world to me.”

“Kristin is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she provided outstanding care for our dog, Bruce, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and comfortable while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable—always on time, communicative, and proactive. Kristin sent regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruce wasn’t just being looked after; he was being loved. When we returned home, Bruce was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. Kristin’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s our go-to from now on!”

About: Hi I'm Katie! I've been caring for my personal dogs for over 15 years and have been dog walking / sitting through Rover for over 5 years. I adore dogs and feel happiest when I am outside hiking / walking with dogs. I have also studied and worked as a dog trainer. When your pup stays or walks with me, they'll be having fun and learning something too! We will play, go on fun walks and adventures, and work on basic manners and life skills. I am comfortable caring for all ages, breeds, and sizes. All dogs staying with me will fit into my routine. I wake up early before work to to take care of my dog Phoebe, typically going on hikes in the morning and in the evening we play in my yard. In the spring/summer months we go for additional hikes/walks in the evening. On the weekends we spend the days hiking, swimming, and exploring new places. Another dog fits easily into my schedule, and I will ensure to give the dogs some solo walks / time with me. I treat any dog staying with me as my own -- the dogs safety and happiness is my top priority. Dogs are fed separately, play is monitored, and your dog will be on a leash unless in a fully fenced in area, or until I establish a solid recall with your dog.

About: I have spent lots of time with elderly dogs and cats, and I love ensuring they have the consistent care they need while their humans are away. I have also worked with young pets who are house or litter box training. I also love fish, rodents, and reptiles! If you have a zoo at home, I may be the sitter for you. -Gwen (they/them) I currently nanny a small human part time, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Week days I am available before 10:30am and after 3:00pm. Weekends I am free all day. Overnights are always available. I deeply value the trust it takes to have someone in your home taking care of your beloved furry friends. I strive to provide care that keeps pets happy, safe, and satisfied while maintaining a calm and clean environment in the home I am visiting.

“Jessica really helped me out of a bind. She offered to com to my home to meet Zoey at 9 pm the night before a trip when another sitter flaked out on me. She stayed at my home and everything was in place when I arrived home. Would definitely use her again!”

“Here’s a polished version: Harley and Izzy loved her from the moment they met her. She made my time away completely worry free, knowing they were in the best hands. They were both so well cared for, loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful for everything she did for them.”

About: My experience of caring for pets has started since I was a child taking care of family pets and later getting my own animals. In a professional setting I have been a Vet Tech for 9 years and done house sitting and dog walking for 5 years. During this time I have worked with everything from puppies, to diabetic cats. I also have limited experience working with large animals and farm animals. Needless to say working with animals is a passion of mine. At the moment I work full time as a vet tech which can cause me some weird hours. Despite this I would love to spend my free time caring for your pet. Feel free to message me and see if we can work out a time! Caring for pets in your house is completely up to you. I will follow your instructions for how to properly care for your furry family member and do everything in my power to keep them safe. Even though I work full time I would love to take the time before and after work to drop in and check on your kitties. They tend to get my morning attention and evening attention with just work getting in the way during the day. I care for the clients home by making sure that all of your requirements are met. So whatever you need from me to make everything as comfortable as possible I will do my best to accommodate you.

“Excellent communication before and during her stay. We recently moved to the area and didn't realize how much information our past sitter "just knew" Amanda asked questions to get answers to instructions I didn't think to give. Her attention to detail is the foundation that the exceptional care she provided our crew on. Couldn't be happier with her service and care.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of my own dogs as well as friends and neighbors. I have experience with labs, golden retrievers, German shepherds, Rottweilers, and pit bulls mostly but love all dogs. I currently work full time Monday-Friday (this is important to note when booking me for house sitting) and would love to help people with walking their pets/letting them out after work or on the weekends. I can’t have pets in my apartment and greatly miss interacting with dogs! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. I am clean and appreciate instructions/rules on where food, collars/leashes, treats, etc are. I will keep your furry companions company, provide long walks, and scratches of course!

About: My family has had pets my entire life, and I've grown up with dogs and cats, so the question of how many years of experience I have is difficult to answer. I have a lot of experience being around animals, but I obviously was not the primary caregiver for our pets during my childhood. I am very fond of animals (of course), and would love to get to know your furry friends and help them get out and about! I'm a student in college at UVM, so I am around to hang out with your pets in between and after my classes! Because of the way they are spaced out, I'm usually free midday or in the afternoon/evening. I put a lot of care into making sure your furry friends are happy and healthy while in my care. I keep a close eye on them, and stick mainly to quieter roads that I'm familiar with on walks.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. With over 7 years of experience in house and pet sitting, along with raising and training my own dogs from puppyhood and caring for newborn kittens, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of all needs. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable, treating every pet as if they were my own, whether they love long walks, playtime, or just some extra snuggles. I work part-time in the healthcare industry in Concord, NH, Monday through Thursday for 4–6 hours per day. I’m available all day Friday through Sunday and flexible with drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I’m an experienced house sitter for two family friends on an ongoing basis and take privacy, respect, and safety very seriously. I’m very clean and make it a point to leave every home even better than I found it. I treat every home—and every pet—exactly as I would want someone to treat my own.
