“I cannot speak more highly of Eric and his sweet family! They kept my dog while I had a week long work event in Boston, and they took fantastic care of her. They sent me regular photos and they promptly answered any nervous mama questions I sent their way. We were worried about her getting spooked by the fireworks over the holiday weekend, and Eric and his fam took lots of precaution to make sure she was safe and happy. The pups that live with them are sweet and they got along great with my dog. I will be booking with them again if we're ever in the area!”
“We were in a pinch & had to leave our cat Sam to stay overnight while we went out of town for a funeral & Beth really helped us out last minute! Affordable price, & she sent lots of updates! When I picked up my sweet boy he was very happy. 10/10 recommend Beth!!”
“Katherine did an excellent job watching our pup. We had an unexpected complication with a paw injury so Pepper had to take antibiotics and wear a cone, but Katherine was was totally up to the task.”
“Katie was fantastic with our dog (who can be little quirky) and we felt so comfortable leaving him in her competent hands. She is friendly, professional, and a great choice for a sitter!”
“We are so grateful to have found Julia in our hometown! She was a fantastic sitter for our Samoyed and treated him like one of her own kiddos. She was a great communicator and provided multiple pictures and updates each day which we greatly appreciated! Highly recommend!”
“Kelly took excellent care of my dog while I was away for the weekend, and she was so communicative and kept me totally up to date. She was also so patient when my pup unfortunately had an upset tummy! Thank you Kelly!”
“Wowza!!!! Janice is amazing! Not only did she provide tender loving care for our dog, Pasquale, but she was sooooo accommodating when our flights were changed last minute. We could not have found a better match for our needs. We love Janice….XO😘”
“Mercis is the BEST pet-sitter!!!! She always goes above and beyond in taking care of my dog Sherlock, be it food, walks or anything!! I had to visit my home country and it is very hard to stay away from my fur baby, but I had no worries as Sherlock was with Mercis!! She kept me informed daily with pictures and video calls! Seriously I don’t know what we’d do without Mercis! Sherlock adores her and so do we!!!”
“Becky and Bill are amazing! Our pooch Barley stayed with them for a week and you could tell he was loved and cared for. Becky sent regular updates and even gave Barley a new nick name "Lion guy" :) Barley also got great socialization with the other pups. We will definitely be calling Becky and Bob again for our next trip out of town”
“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!”
“Nicole and Josh watched my mom’s dog Missy who has never been away from her before. They communicated every day with pictures and gave updates on how she was doing. She adjusted well and loved going out in their yard and getting exercise! She felt like she was at home and we were very comfortable knowing she was well taken care of while we were away. There were a few dogs that they cared for during the day and Missy fit right in and they all got along great!!! I would definitely recommend them to board your dogs!”
“Felicia took great care of my Bernese Mountain Dog, Bailey, during her overnight stay. She was very flexible, easy to communicate with, and made the whole experience stress-free. I had no complaints and would definitely trust her with Bailey again!”
“Our golden doodle loved his stay so much I think he was disappointed we didn’t stay away longer. Her golden retrievers gave him pals to chase around her shady backyard. We are thrilled with Sylvia and hope to use her again soon!”
“Evan was fantastic once again! Flexible with care and pick ups, very responsive and sent pictures with updates everyday!! Charlie is one tired pup after his vacation to Evan’s!! Highly recommend for your pup”
“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Krystyna & Sara G. were absolutely amazing with my mini Goldendoodle, Hazel! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, including updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Hazel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Krystyna and Sara treated her like part of their family, giving her plenty of attention, affection, and care. They went above and beyond to make sure all of her needs were met and that she felt comfortable and loved. I would highly recommend Krystyna & Sara G. to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Hazel—I will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️”
“Denise is wonderful! We highly recommend her services. She went above and beyond to make our two Havanese dogs comfortable in her home. She made their stay adventurous and truly magical, filled with activities as moonrise watching on the beach, so they are a bit bored with us at home and will be excited to stay at her house again. Ivana and Martin”
“Felicia provided great care for Charlie. He stayed with her family for almost a week. I was updated with photos and texts on how he was doing. I would highly recommend Felicia.”
“Dakota had a wonderful time at Thea’s! This was the first time our puppy had to board somewhere. She did wonderful and I did not worry about her and knew she was in good hands. Like leaving her with a family member. Space to run, structure, discipline when needed, and lots of love. Thea sent pictures and kept me in the loop. Will be back for sure!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Durham
We recently worked with Kassia to dog-sit our 4-year old dog, and it was a great experience! We set up a meet and greet so we could make sure that our generally fearful dog felt comfortable with Kassia. Kassia clearly has a lot of experience working with animals, and was so kind to our dog, who quickly became excited to be around Kassia. Our dog also had an injury, which Kassia worked with us to make sure all meds and instructions were followed while we were gone. We were so happy with how Kassia communicated in the lead up to, and during her weekend dog-sitting for us. We would love to work with Kassia again in the future, and are very grateful that she took such amazing care of our pup!

There are 574 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Durham. About 91% of Durham sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
