“Jodie is absolutely amazing! Booked her last minute for two days of daycare for my puppy and she excepted right away. Her updates and communication throughout the day is absolutely awesome. I could not recommend a better person to watch your pet. I will be continuing to use her for all my daycare and boarding needs! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!”
“This was my first time ever using rover as a customer and I am VERY impressed!!! We were in the area for a few errends, and didn’t want to leave our pup home for 8hrs😂 I got AMAZING pictures, she’s super sweet, and bonus points for taking my request THE MORNING OF! Simba didn’t even want to leave 😭 he had so much fun and I think will sleep the entire 3hr car ride home!”
“Ashley is pleasant and knows what she is doing with these dogs! She has an ideal yard and home and was willing to show me the environment. She sent me pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Ashley again!”
About: I have always had a great compassion for animals, I love them all! I have had a few pets (cats and dogs) through the years that came with medical issues which has given me a lot of experience giving medications. I have 4 dogs right now, 2 of them are from trying to foster Millie and Lil Bitti whom are very bonded. So they are what they call my “foster fail”. I won’t be trying that again as much as I would like to help with the rescues. I will be at home to take care of your pet for most of the time. I may leave the house for a couple of hours for an appointment, but try to avoid while I am pet sitting. If your pet is crate trained, I do have extra crates if you prefer not to bring your own. Crate trained is not a requirement for your pup. I have a large fenced in yard for plenty of fun and exercise. I always go outside with the dogs, never unsupervised. They will get low calorie snacks throughout the day, and 1 dental treat at bedtime if allowed. My dogs, as well as most of my clients dogs are small breeds and prefer to be with smaller dogs. It would be best to do a meet and greet to introduce the pups beforehand when possible. We want your pups, as well as ours to feel safe, happy, and at home.
About: I have owned and taken care of pets my whole life. I also house & pet sit on Trusted housesitter as well and have multiple reviews. I can board at my home or go to your home to watch, walk and care for your pets. I work remotely from home full time so have flexibility with my schedule. I have owned dogs, cats and a guinea pig in the past but currently do not own any pets so I will be able to focus solely on yours. I have a fenced in yard at my home and also a quiet neighborhood where I can walk dogs. I live about 1/2 mile from the dog park and many trails.
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life. I've had dogs of varying breeds and sizes (2 Wheaten Terriers, 2 Vizslas, Dachshund, 3 Yorkies, Hound mix, Wire Fox Terrier) and had cats most of my life too. I currently have one dogs of my own, a Wheaten Terrier named Sundae who loves everyone. I am currently working from home and live right on the rail trail where I can take your precious pup on walks throughout the day. I have ample experience with puppies, special needs dogs (meds dispensing including injections), and nursing and pregnant mommas to be! I have extra crates and plenty of expen fencing I can put up at any time! I am currently working from home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets. We sometimes go on trips or hikes, but mostly we stay close to home. If your pets are friendly they will get along well with my girl Sundae. If not, as a former show dog exhibitor, I am well versed in the art of "crate and rotate," or if needed "cozy bedroom and rotate." Safety and cleanliness comes first, always.
About: Enjoy walking on the trail and would love to walk dogs. Have access to a fenced yard so the dogs will be safe to play and have fun. I am not working at the moment. Will be available to walk and also to board at home. Can also pet sit in the owner's home Access to a fenced yard. Don't own any pets at the moment, so my apartment is safe and ready to board your pets if needed
“Heather and her daughter were awesome! My pup was taken care and had a fun day playing with other dogs! She came home and went right to sleep! They are great!”
“Lindsey watched our dog, Jack, for an impromptu visit to the aquarium and lunch. She took WONDERFUL care of him and even though we’d never met her before, we were instantly put at ease by her calm and kind demeanor. Next time we’re in Newport, we’ll definitely reach out to her again. Thank you Lindsey!”
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: I am a lover of all animals. I have owned and lived with dogs for over 15+ years and cats for 20+ years. I have also worked for a dog rescue in which I resided with at least 20 dogs daily. I understand the love and care that animals need and strive for! I have an 11 year old and 4 year old, in which I have 1 full time and the other split custody, so please be aware that there will always be at least one small child present! I live in an apartment in a house with plenty of room to roam! We are on the second floor, so we do have stairs, just incase your pet has an issue with them. I look forward to meeting your pets and having some fun! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I work from home so I only usually have to leave to either pick up the kids or run errands! I am available all day to attend to your loved ones! I will always treat your loved ones as if they were my own! Lots of love and attention! We will play games and run around like goof balls!
“Sandra spent time before our first visit getting to know my beagle, Millie, who has separation anxiety. She was willing to make accommodations so that Millie would be comfortable and so would I! Millie's first visit was very positive. We hope to work up to longer stays and really appreciate Sandra's willingness to work with us.”
“Many times, when picking up my dog, I have found him stressed and unhappy. When I picked him up from Abby he was his usual relaxed and happy self. I am grateful for the place, her welcoming dogs, and her kindness in introducing my dog to a new place.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dunbarton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 295 sitters in Dunbarton, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
