“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Harper with Christina and Matt when we were away for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. It was the first time Harper had ever stayed with anyone other than family and we weren’t sure how she would be in an unfamiliar place with another dog. It was obvious when we went for a meet and greet that Christina is a dog lover and Harper warmed up to her quickly. They have a great dog friendly yard and we received plenty of updates to let us know that she was doing fine. She definitely got plenty of exercise and a lot of love. Christina was understanding about Harper’s separation anxiety and was willing to accommodate her. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Sent me pictures of my puppy and kept me updated! Loved how she took my puppy for walks and let her run in the fenced in backyard. Will definitely use her again! She was friendly and communicated!”
“Kim is very caring and her property was wonderful for my two energetic labs to run around and explore. I appreciated her ability to safely introduce my dogs to other dogs staying with her which allowed even more positive interaction and stimulation for them”
“Karen was very sweet and loving towards Struffoli. She was very thorough in making sure she had everything she needed to care for her. She was easy to get a hold of and sent lots of sweet pics. Would definitely ask her to watch our pup again!”
“Willow had a great stay with Dana! We came back to pick something up that I left and Willow couldn’t contain her excitement. Dana is very prompt to respond and was able to accommodate a last minute request for us. Willow came back exhausted after her 3 night stay! This is a good fit for dogs that love other dogs (there were at least 6 other dogs while Willow was there). Lots of room to run and play so it’s like non stop daycare.”
“Pat did so amazing with our 4 month old puppy! She watched him at her house during our wedding weekend, and we felt 100% comfortable that he was safe and having a great time. I know Howie is excited to go back to his hikes and playing with Pat for our next trip!”
“Jessica, Abu and Justin are the canine equivalent of the cat’s meow of dog sitters. Jessica is quick to communicate, easy going, and so knowledgeable! The backyard and house are well suited to canine guests. We can’t say enough good things and though our sweet dog is a homebody, we think he’s actually looking forward to his next stay and whatever adventures await him. Abu is one of a kind and a gentle, friendly host. THANK YOU!”
“Keasha and her family took great care of Bagel! I was confident that my dog was in good hands. Will certainly come back to Keasha when I travel again. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Very reliable, professional, and genuinely nice caretakers. It was my pup’s first time away for a weekend and you could tell she had an absolute blast. Leanne was in contact with me regularly and sent a TON of pics. My puppy was clearly happy, well taken care of, and tired at the end of each day from so much fun. I’ll absolutely rebook with them in the future and highly recommend them.”
“Sharon was yet again very flexible & accomodating! Flights were cancelled & she said she would watch my cat for as long as needed. She’s someone you can depend on :-)”
About: I have grown up around and with dogs, have experience with many different sizes and breeds. I have experience and time taking care of every temperament. A general love and care for animals and pets. Your furry friend is my priority and fits with my availability and attention to ensure every party feels comfortable with the attention and love they receive I usually focus on care for dogs with making sure they are comfortable so if they need food, water, outside time or play, pets, or just a bathroom break, they will get it.
“Karen and Chris were fantastic! They are such a nice family that took excellent care of our pup. They were great with communication and pictures. I knew our dog was safe and loved! Highly recommend!!!”
“Bentley and I just moved to Rhode Island, and it’s been a hard transition for him. I’ve been especially anxious about leaving him during this adjustment period, but Yunshu immediately made me feel at ease. From the start, I knew he was in good hands. She sent so many thoughtful pictures and videos, and in every single one he looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. That meant everything to me. It’s clear she truly cares and takes the time to make dogs feel safe and loved. She was wonderful with Bentley, and I’m so incredibly thankful to have found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Carolina was great with Kobe. She made him very comfortable. She was communicated throughout the whole stay. She was awesome in providing updates and pictures. I would definitely be using her service again!”
“Jake the beagle had an excellent stay at Abigail's! She is an awesome pup and senior dog sitter. She regularly kept me updated with photo's and messages of Jake while I was away. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone and will definitely use her them again in the future if needed.”
“It was our first time leaving Phoebe and we were so nervous. Madison took great care of her and was very communicative. They were so sweet to give her the attention she needed, as she’s very needy. Madison is so sweet and we would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“We are so happy with our experience with Briana. We are always nervous to leave our dog when we travel, but she made everything so easy. Our dog was so happy at her house, seemed to love the other dogs, and he did not want to leave when we picked him up haha. She reliably sent pictures every day and was so quick to respond. We will absolutely be working with her again! Highly recommend”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Exeter on Rover is $60.56 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 806 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Exeter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
89% of Exeter sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Exeter landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Exeter 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 Exeter.
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.
You and your Exeter 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 RI 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.
