“Rebecca was personable and gave updates during our pup’s stay. Rebecca engaged our pup with socialization and training reinforcement. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her stay and came back safe and sound.”
“I can't say enough good things about Becky. This was the first time we left our Pup with anyone, and I was extremely nervous because he is so attached to us. Becky and Bob made the transition seamless and gave him so much love while we were gone. She would give me daily updates and send me pictures so that I could see how much fun he was having. She truly is so wonderful with the dogs she cares for and treats them like her own. I would highly recommend Becky and Bob.”
“Adriana and her whole family took such amazing care of our puppy over the weekend! We received lots of pictures and updates of our very happy girl. We are so lucky to have found a wonderful environment for her to stay at when we are away!”
“Vanessa was an excellent sitter for our dog, Joey. She sent us photos daily of all of the walks they took during the day, along with updates on how he was doing while he was there. We will definitely keep her in mind when we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“I couldn't have for a better sitter. Julia was so communicative, sending frequent pictures and updates. Jake had such a good time and we trust Julia and her family to take care of him.”
“Samantha is great. She took care of Luna during the week of Christmas and sent me pics nearly every day. I would recommend her and I'll likely use her again for my next trip.”
“Krystyna & Sara are AWESOME!! If you have a dog that needs to board somewhere, you don't have to second guess leaving it with these two great hosts!! My pup was EXHAUSTED after picking him up, the house dog Bernie, did a great job matching Whiskey's energy and wore him out. He's still catching up on his sleep the next day! LOL. We even found out that he's good with cats! I will be boarding my dog there again next month. A++++++. experience.”
“As always, Mikayla and Allen took wonderful care of our little girl, Ella. They are extremely conscientious and take their dog sitting responsibilities very seriously, and we always feel that Ella is in the best of care when she stays there. They also send us photos during her stays and she is obviously very happy there. We have left Ella there several times, and I would highly recommend them.”
“I’m a person who has a lot of difficulty trusting someone with my dogs- I’m very close with them. I’m positive many of the folks reading this review can say the same. It can be difficult to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and communicative. It can be even more difficult to find someone who is all of those things AND is excellent with dogs. My family has hit the absolute jackpot with Karen’s services. Our older dog has separation anxiety, takes medication, and needs a consistent presence to be successful. We never had to doubt whether Karen could fill these needs for him, and she’s delivered every time. Our younger dog has a lot of energy and has to be let out frequently- Karen’s flexibility and home/yard are perfect to meet those needs. Karen sent us pictures and videos throughout each of my dogs’ stays and provided detailed updates as to how they are doing. We will absolutely be back again, we can’t recommend her enough! 6/5 stars!”
“Amazing rover. Her daughter is great with dogs and she gave lots of updates and pictures. She took the time to know my dog at drop off and make sure he felt safe. Would book again!”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”
“Alison and Eric were very accommodating for a last minute booking for my young pup Ozzy, even when I was running late on pick up. My pup had so much fun in the fenced in yard and made a new pug friend!”
“Second time we left Sophie with Katelyn and her family for 7 days and she loved it. Katelyn sends daily pictures and follows our meal plan for Sophie. Her kids love having Sophie over.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and over the years I’ve naturally become the go-to person for pretty much anything dog-related. From growing up and running my own little neighborhood dog-walking business, to helping friends and family train their dogs, training my own, and volunteering at shelters—it’s always been something I’ve genuinely loved. For the past 4+ years, I’ve continued that through doggy daycare, boarding and training, and now I’m looking to expand something I truly love and open my calendar to more pups! I have two dogs of my own, Nelly, a German Shepherd, and Luna, a Lab/Husky mix, and I’ve fostered quite a few dogs along the way. Through all of that, I’ve gotten experience with so many different personalities—from reactive and timid dogs to the crazy, high-energy ones. One of my favorite parts is getting to know each dog individually, learning their personality and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable, safe and happy. Dogs are already such a big part of my everyday life, so your pup will fit right into our routine! My days naturally revolve around the dogs, including any pups I have here for daycare or boarding. I make sure everyone gets plenty of playtime, exercise, enrichment, attention, and opportunities to practice their commands and good manners. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re part of the family while they’re here, not just another dog at daycare. I treat every dog in my care the way I would want my own dogs to be treated if I were trusting someone else with them. Building trust is always my first priority, especially when a dog is new to my home. I like to spend one-on-one time with them first, allowing them to explore, get comfortable with me, and settle into their new environment before introducing anything else. Slow introductions with other dogs are a must for me. I never rush interactions or assume every dog wants to immediately make friends. I pay close attention to body language, personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels, and introductions are always handled carefully and at your dog’s pace. While your dog is in my care, I want my home to feel like their home too. Dogs are welcome to free roam, so I’m very mindful about keeping the space clean, safe, and free of anything they could get into. I also have designated gated areas where dogs can safely eat, play, relax, or have some alone time when needed.
“Karen is very sweet and took wonderful care of my dog, Kalei. She has excellent communication and was very responsive coordinating the visit and also gave me photos and updates. Her home is clean and welcoming and she already even had stairs for little dogs. Kalei was happy and relaxed when I picked her up, and she slept a lot which is a good sign that she was cozy. She is a senior dog, and Karen has experience administering pills and being mindful of medical conditions. Overall, I am very pleased with Kaleis visit and will definitely bring her back!”
“I’ve been going to Melissa for about 2 years and she’s always been amazing with my boys. She has a great space for them to roam around and play. She’s excellent at communication as well and sending in updates on how they’re doing. Thank you again!”
“Lindsay was great with Luna. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up and kept in touch during our vacation with updates and pictures of Luna. I know that Luna was happy and well-cared for, and she enjoyed playing with Lindsay's dog. Highly recommend!”
“Andrew and his partner were amazing hosts for my pups over new years! They have the perfect environment for dogs and were very communicative with updates through out the stay. my dogs came home very happy and i highly recommend andrew to anyone looking for a reliable sitter in the area!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Derry 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 Derry home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Derry.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Derry. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Derry 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
