“Heather is an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I love our dogs and only want the best for them. I feel our dogs get the best when they stay with her! She sends updates and pictures of your babies as they enjoy their stay. We've boarded our dogs at a facility before and there's a night and day difference between doing that and leaving them in the loving care of Heather. Thank you so much for taking care of our babies, you've earned our repeat business and trust. Book with Heather, you won't regret it!”
“Michelle was terrific! Ellie stayed with her for Thanksgiving weekend and came home happy and tired! She was well-loved and Michelle kept us updated with pics and videos… and was super responsive and proactive before and during the entire experience. Thank you Michelle!”
“Suzanne is incredible. We received lots of updates and she took very good care of Abby. We had to extend Abby's stay due to a family illness and Suzanne was very accommodating. Abby certainly enjoyed her stay with Suzanne and Koda. We would recommend her to anyone”
“My pup had a wonderful time with Heather and her family. They took great care of him and let me know how he was doing. They were able to take him on relatively short notice which I really appreciate. Thanks!”
“Camp Christy was wonderful for Willow! I was only coming to the area to visit and was unable to keep my dog with me for my stay. After a bit of research, and reading Christy's excellent reviews, I reached out to her. I found Christy to be highly responsive to all of my questions ahead of Willow's stay, and very flexible when it came to setting up days and times that worked for her drop off. When we met, Christy was very thorough and covered all the details to make Willow's stay perfect. And it was! I got the cutest pictures from Christy showing how much Willow enjoyed hanging out with her dog, and her family as well. She truly cares about the dogs in her care and it shows. I would definitely bring Willow back to Camp Christy and highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of food, play, walks, and medicines for dogs. I love spending time with them and giving them the attention they deserve. I've also spent time at shelters to be with the dogs. I've helped with dogs of all breeds and I'm excited to get to know the personality of your dog! I've done day-boarding via Rover and dog walks + house sitting for dogs in general. I have work Mon-Fri till 4:30pm and would be available 5pm onwards for your dog on weekdays. However I do have some flexibility during the week so feel free to check as per your requirement. I live in decent sized studio apartment alone. I have enough room to play, feed, and keep the dog company. The apartment building is pet-friendly, safe, and has a dog park along with walking paths around it so there is enough area for me to take the dog for a nice walk. There is also a shorter path where I can take the dog for relieving themselves immediately right outside the apartment. The building also has a nice outdoor and indoor chilling space within it where I can take the dog for some engagement.
“I’m am so glad we found you! My baby had so much fun with your family. She slept the whole night, which is not the usual for her. She usually wakes me up at 3/4 in the morning to play before I go to work. I would definitely recommend Michelle!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have five of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom to four kids, I’m home and available throughout the day—meaning your pup will always have company, love, and attention. Caring for pets is second nature in my home. Between my five dogs and four kids, there’s always love, play, and activity to go around. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, pets easily become part of our family rhythm and daily routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention—just as if they were my own. I also keep homes tidy and respect any specific instructions, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I am currently work 8-5. I have a dog of my own and prioritize taking care of her. I will do the same for your fur babies! I can take your dog out for walks every day if wanted or needed. I can play all sorts of games with them if that’s what they like. I have always owned dogs so I’m extremely comfortable and knowledgeable about them. I’m flexible and with enough notice I can plan during the days. So if you require a set schedule for certain days I can definitely work with you on that. Let me know preferences and schedules and I will be sure to work with you all as needed! I have a very active dog of my own and I will prioritize her schedule during the day. I can do that for you too! Living in an apartment, I need to be diligent about the care for my dog and make sure she’s getting out for exercise throughout the day. Parks are near by which she loves to run around!
“This is the first time we used Rover and I was a nervous dog mom for sure! One of the things that I appreciated the most was every time I emailed Leilani, she would get back to me right away. She provided pictures and updates and took great care of our senior golden and our puppy, who had just had surgery a week before his stay with her. Thank you Leilani!”
About: I have owned a Labrador Retriever, Jack Russell and two German Shepherds and have dog sat many others. I have had twelve years of experience with dog sitting. I will treat your dog like family with lots of love, spending time with them and many walks and adventures to dog parks around the area. I will give them lots of treats. While spending time at your home will treat it as my home with keeping it clean and able to do little stuff around the house such as watering the plants and picking up the mail with no extra cost. I have a flexible schedule, which I am able to pet sit at last notice. I have a dog name Juno who is a six year old Labrador who is friendly and gets along with all dogs. I would like meet and greets just to know the dog before hand and the dog knows me and Juno before we welcome them into our home! We want to create a welcoming home to your dog by not being a total stranger watching them, helping your dog with adjusting as their family is away. I currently work as a nurse so on my days off I am usually at home hanging with Juno and going on walks or playing in the uard I have yard with a river in the back. My dog usually off leash but because of the no fence will keep your dog on leash for safety and lots of walks throughout the day!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkins
We had a great experience with Lauren! Our dogs were happy and well cared for. Lou loved, LOVED swimming in the pond and came home completely worn out in the best way possible. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Lauren was wonderful to work with, and I would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!

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.
94% of sitters in Elkins 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 Elkins 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 Elkins.
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 Elkins. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Elkins 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.
