Dog Boarding in Derry

“Rebecca was a wonderful sitter for our lab Stella. She arranged a meet and greet beforehand so Stella could get acquainted with the house/yard. She has a nice yard for Stella to run in and a creek to play in. Rebecca sent updates and pictures throughout the stay which we appreciated. Would definitely recommend Rebecca as a sitter and will plan to use her again in the future.”

About: **Please read my availability below as it may not match to the availability Rover displays. OVERNIGHT BOARDING AVAILABLE SATURDAY-MONDAY ONLY** I provide attentive, dependable pet care rooted in real, hands-on animal experience. Working outdoors with animals has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read body language so I can understand each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and temperaments, from high-energy companions to more sensitive or senior pets who need extra gentleness. Safety, routine, and emotional well-being are always my priorities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners true peace of mind, knowing their pets are not just watched, but genuinely cared for and loved while they’re away. I'm a mother to a one year old and currently work at a horse barn around 30 hours a week, but have plenty of off time to enjoy caring for your pets! Below is a list of my drop off, boarding, and dog walking availability. Also, take a look at my "Trip to the Dog Park" section! Book with me based off of the availability below, as it may not match the availability Rover is displaying. Drop off Availability: Sunday - 8:00am to 8:00pm Monday - 8:00am to 8:00pm Tuesday - 5:30pm to 8:00pm Wednesday - 5:30pm to 8:00pm Thursday - 3:30pm to 8:00pm Friday - 5:30pm to 8:00pm Saturday - 6:30pm - 8:00pm Dog Walking (Minimum 30mins to over 60mins): Sunday - 8:00am to 8:00pm Monday - 8:00am to 8:00pm Tuesday - 5:30pm to 8:00pm Wednesday - 5:30pm to 8:00pm Thursday - 3:30pm to 8:00pm Friday - 5:30pm to 8:00pm Saturday - 6:30pm to 8:00pm Overnight Stays (Saturday 7pm - Monday 8pm): Overnight boarding is available for cats and dogs who are crate trained or okay with being confined to the living room overnight. The living room is large, so your animal will have plenty of room to move and play during the night. Potty breaks will be given throughout the night and a designated litter box location will be provided for cats. If you board into Monday, you must pick up your animal by 8pm latest. Trip to the Dog Park: I live exactly 0.4 miles from the Derry Dog Park and I would love to offer the option to bring your dog to the Dog Park! Requirements for this option are: -I must have your pet for at least 60 minutes or more. - Your dog MUST be dog and people friendly. - Your dog MUST be spayed/neutered. - Your dog MUST be up to date with vaccines/registration. What you need to know: - I am NOT a licensed or insured pet sitter! - I have a 1 year old daughter who loves animals, but can get excited around them. She can be kept away from my clients animals, if needed. However, exposure for her would be amazing, so kid friendly animals are highly encouraged, but not required. - I have 2 cats and a caged rabbit at home. They get along with other animals, but can be separated from my clients animals, if needed. - The care and needs of your animal are my number one priority. - I don't have a fenced yard, but I am very cautious and won't allow any pets to roam off lead or out of my sight. - The Derry Dog Park is less than half a mile from my house, and with permission, I would love to bring clients dogs there! - I know some medical and wound care. - A veterinary contact form and care sheet must be filled out and provided for me. I will provide the form! - If your animal does not have a vet or is not vaccinated, you will not be eligable to use my services! Some animal types will be exempt from this note.

About: I specialize in dogs who need real exercise — not just a slow neighborhood loop. If your dog is high‑energy, athletic, or a working breed, I offer fast‑paced walks, joring sessions, and trail adventures designed to burn energy and build confidence. I grew up with a Husky/Malamute mix and have lived with high‑drive dogs ever since. My partner and I have fostered around 35 dogs, and I’ve cared for hundreds more through walking, boarding, and sitting. I’ve worked with every personality you can imagine — anxious, reactive, social, senior, and everything in between. My approach is structured, safe, and tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether your pup needs a power walk, mental stimulation, or a full adventure outing, I make sure they get the right balance of exercise and calm. My schedule is wide open, and I’ve made dog walking and adventure‑based exercise my primary focus. This means I’m available for consistent routines, last‑minute bookings, and dogs who need regular high‑energy outings. I’ve worked with dogs across every temperament - from wind‑shy pups to strict no‑contact dogs to social butterflies. I adjust my handling style to match each dog’s comfort level and safety needs. Clear routines, calm structure, and individualized care guide every decision I make. Your dog’s safety and emotional well‑being always come first

“Amanda was great, she took such good care of Caju, and was flexible about the drop off which was really helpful for us. Amanda and her partner were very friendly, communicative and made sure Caju had a good time while he was there, they have a big fenced yard for the dogs to run around.”

“We had an amazing experience with Andrea watching our dog Royce while we were away visiting family in New Jersey. From the very start, she was incredibly responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with! She sent us daily updates and plenty of adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Both Andrea and her husband were so kind, friendly, and welcoming. Royce clearly felt right at home with them! He was so happy and smiling in photos, and was happy when he came home! I would absolutely recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would love to have her watch Royce again in the future!”

“Adriana has been so wonderful every step of the way! She was very flexible when I needed to reschedule our meet and greet. She welcomed my family and dog into her beautiful home and has a great set up for hosting dogs. She has a perfect fenced backyard and we were able to see how her dog and cat interacted with our high energy dog. We had a last-minute change of travel plans due to illness and Adriana was so kind and helped us figure out a new plan. Once we dropped off our dog she sent frequent video and photo updates. Her family made sure he had a lot of play time and exercise through games in their yard and neighborhood walks. She is very organized, kind and a great communicator. I highly recommend her and we will definitely trust her with our dog for future travel.”

“Donnie 100% exceeded all of my expectations! I had a unique situation which required long term housing for my two pups, and after talking thru with Donnie we came to an understanding. He gave consistent updates about my dogs and wasn’t hesitant to ask any clarifying questions if needed. Each picture and video my dogs looked happy as ever. Even did some obedience/extra training while I was away, checking beforehand if I was ok with it of course. Donnie is reliable, respectful, and absolutely a dog person at heart. He will make sure your pup(s) are happy, healthy, and safe. Will be booking again in the future!”

“I couldn’t possibly be more thankful for the wonderful way Bethany took care of my precious puppy. It is such a relief to have her with this loving family instead of shut in a cage at a kennel. Bethany is truly a blessing.”

Grace C.

“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.”

Kelaine R.

“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 ❤️🐾❤️🐾”

“Reesi and Tanner made themselves right at home with Sindy and her family within a few minutes after arriving there. We were a bit concerned about how they might adjust in a new place with new people, but we soon discovered we didn't have to worry at all. We were able to leave them for the day and not worry about a thing. Sindy even sent us several pictures of them throughout the day to let us know they were safe and sound while we were able to enjoy our 4-year-old grandson's birthday party in another state. We highly recommend Sindy when you need someone to care for your pets while away!”

Dawn W.

“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”

About: We’re a pet-loving household made up of my husband and me, two munchkin cats, and our mini Aussie mix, Chip. Everyone gets along really well. The cats have their own food and litter setup in spaces most dogs can’t reach, plus plenty of high spots to hang out if they want some alone time. Chip is neutered, fully vaccinated, and has been well socialized with other dogs since he was a puppy, so he’s always happy to make a new dog friend. Our Experience My husband has had pets his whole life—including helping care for a litter of 10 puppies. Between the two of us (and our own pets), we’ve been dog-sitting for friends and neighbors for years. We’re comfortable with different personalities and energy levels and genuinely enjoy having animals around—it never feels like a chore. Day-to-Day Care Our home has a large main living area where dogs can safely hang out, nap, and play, plus quieter rooms if a pet needs space or a break. Everything is mostly pet-proofed, and we also have a large, private yard that sits far back from the road, which is great for safe outdoor time and fresh air. I work a hybrid schedule and go into the office 2–3 days a week, but I’m usually only gone for about 4–5 hours at a time. The rest of the day, I’m home and around, so pets are rarely left alone for long stretches. We stick closely to your pet’s usual routine—feeding, walks, house rules, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Crating is no problem if that’s what your dog is used to. I am also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing how things are going. At the end of the day, we treat pets like part of the family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. We hope your dog is as happy here as we want ours to be when we are away. Pet care fits comfortably into our daily and weekly routine. I work a hybrid schedule and am home the majority of the time; when I do go into the office, it’s usually for just 4–5 hours. Pets aren’t left alone for long stretches, and our day is planned around consistent meals, outdoor time, play, rest, and supervision. Because caring for pets is already part of our household routine, it’s easy to give them attention throughout the day. I provide care exclusively in my home, where pets become part of our daily routine. My husband and I share care responsibilities throughout the day—he’s very hands-on with playtime and attention in the mornings and evenings, and I’m home during the afternoons for additional play, outdoor time, and supervision. We follow each pet’s usual routine for meals, activity, and rest, and adjust based on their energy level and comfort. Pets are never left without care for long stretches, and I’m happy to send regular photo and text updates so owners feel connected and at ease.

About: Hello! I have had dogs my whole life, large and small. I'm very good at discerning canine behavior and I'm respectful of a dogs personality- they're all individuals! I currently have two Beaucerons (one in my profile picture!) and they love everyone and every thing. My female has now has earned her CGCA and CGCU, as well as earning a BCAT! I am very involved in the dog world, as they are my absolute passion. I also compete in powerlifting, so your 150+lb dog won't drag me down the street! I have recently started my own dog, walking and pet sitting business, so this is truly my passion and my full-time job. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a very flexible schedule and I am happy to coordinate to your pets needs! Dog walking and pet sitting is my full-time job! I never allow dogs that I do not know to interact with my dog, or if I am in charge of their care, your dog. I understand that your dog may be friendly, but other dogs may not be, and your dogs' safety is my top priority.

“Hands down the best sitter we’ve ever had for our dog! We were desperate for a last minute dog sitter and came across Katelyn on Rover! From the meet and greet to her actual boarding stay, Katelyn has been so great! She sent so many photos, was on top of it with the communication and assured us that Millie was in the best of hands! I couldn’t recommend her more. Already looking forward to our upcoming bookings with her!”

Sydney G.

“John is an AMAZING pet sitter. He took the time to get to know our dog, cared for him like family and gave him a safe place to be taken care pf while we were away. John gave us frequent updates and sent photos. Our Niko came home happy, safe and I am sure missing all the fun he had. Thank you John for being so patient, kind and caring for Niko so well. We are so lucky we found you on Rover!”

Kristen G.

“Shannon and James were fantastic! They did such a great job making Ozzy feel right at home. I received countless pictures and updates. Ozzy had such a great time and felt right at home in their fenced in backyard. They are super accommodating and I would 100% have Ozzy stay with them again!”

Megan B.

“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”

About: I have cared for my dogs over the years varying in breed, size and temperament from Pomeranian to Husky. I’ve also been sitting/boarding for a couple people for the last 3 years or so I was recently laid off from my full time job working from home. Currently I have one dog that I sit/board regularly and looking to take on at least one more I have a fenced in yard with doggy door to house and 2 babies of my own to keep your pup company and provide lots of play.

“Mikayla and Alen were amazing and so accommodating. Our pup enjoyed a fun weekend with them. They were very flexible about pick up and drop off and they sent frequent updates. You won’t regret using them for your dog sitting needs! We will definitely be back.”
