“This was our 4th time having Erica take care of Max, and he absolutely loves her and her family! ❤️ This time she even took care of our gecko, Spot. We always know our pets are in great hands with her. Thank you so much, Erica! 🐶🦎”
“Christina was great! She was super responsive, sent regular updates, and has an awesome indoor and outdoor setup for dogs. She followed all care instructions and clearly loves and takes great care of dogs. Would definitely book with her again! 🐾”
“I adopted Bella in September 2020 during the pandemic. We have never been apart until this past weekend. I was so nervous about leaving her. After the Meet and Greet with Rebecca and Justin I felt like Bella was going to have fun and be well cared for. Bella was treated like part of the family and she came home exhausted from running and playing with their dogs London and Major. I highly recommend them and Bella and I will be visiting again soon!”
“Leanne did such a great job with our girls! I received tons of pictures and daily updates. I could tell they were super comfortable and well taken care of! We will definitely book again in the future!”
“Karen was wonderful! So communicative with care to detail and what is best for our dog. She sent pics of how happy our dog was each day. Very accommodating with requests. Look forward to booking again!”
“Anne was amazing! So attentive and took in mind my dogs usual routine- and took extra great care of her! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely recommend her.”
“Basil and I love Sarah. Basil loves Sarah's big back yard, meeting the school bus, playing with Sarah's kids and dog. This was her second stay with Sarah and I wouldn't even consider leaving her with anyone else.”
“Karen, Chris, and their family were truly the best of the best when it came to caring for our Sunny while we were away on vacation for a week. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog! He even whined on the car ride home because he didn’t want to leave, which says everything. Karen provided multiple daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters. Thank you again, Karen, Chris, Abby, Joe, and Charm —Sunny already misses you all so much!”
“Devorat is a god send! Pepper and I are new to RI, therefore leaving her to spend the night with a new sitter made me uneasy. Given that this was her first night away from me in RI, Devorat went above and beyond to ensure that both Pepper and I were comfortable with her space by arranging a meeting prior to the booking. Devorat has a large space that includes an enclosed yard for active dogs. That is on top of the dog walks they did together. I appreciated that, as did Pepper. Devorat sent check-ins in the form of photos and videos letting me enjoy my mini vacation with ease. I can’t wait to book with Devorat again soon. Highly recommend!!”
“Celina took good care of Ollie. When we picked her up she was happy to see us but was in no hurry to leave Celena. We will consider Celena next time we need a dog sitter”
“Christine is awesome!!! She sent me updates on and picture of my pooch. My girl seemed to be enjoying herself so much that I wasn't sure she would want to come home. It really gave me peace of mind to know that she was being well cared for. Thank you, Christine.”
“Kimberly did a wonderful job with our 9 month old puppy! We were so happy to leave him where he was well-loved, got lots of play time and would be HAPPY. She is a true doggie-lover who will make sure your pup is safe and having fun while you are away!”
“I left my 5 month old pup with Boa while on a vacation out of the country. I can highly attest that Max received superior care and extensive love! In addition to the great care, Boa consistently sent updates along with pictures of Max during his stay. My plans are to continue to use Boa when I travel. Five stars!”
“Nick and Veronica were wonderful with Finnegan. Very patient and gentle as Finnegan warmed up to them and kept us posted on his day with pictures and message updates. Finnegan enjoyed being with their two dogs as well and seemed to miss his pals when we got home. We felt very good about the kindness and care Finnegan received and we already have booked a second stay.”
“Michelle was wonderful with our dog. So warm and caring, You can see that she is an authentic dedicated dog lover. We felt so comfortable having Archie stay in her care and will definitely rebook. Thank you Michelle!”
“Addison did an amazing job watching our long haired mini dachshund Liza over the holidays. She was welcomed into the home and treated like one of the family. Addison gave us regular updates, pays attention to details and is very loving. Liza had the best time and all the snuggles she could want. I would definitely recommend Addison to care for your pets.”
“Haley & Kelly treated our dog Henry like a king! Thank you for such a wonderful time, photos and updates. You provided a lovely time for our pup. I happily recommend H&K to anyone.”
“THE BEST...... Kyleigh is by far the most attentive pet friend that our dog "Ollie" has ever had the pleasure of being with. We received photos and videos everyday while we were away. So spoiled he was with treats, playtime, and snuggles, that I wasn't sure he would want to come home 😊. If you want the best in care for your family pet, we found it with Kyleigh. Thank you so much!”
“Biggie had a wonderful stay with Sully and his his humans! Zach was patient while Biggie adjusted to the new environment and communicated thru text and pictures through the whole stay. This was my first time using River and will definitely refer Zach for friends or future trips!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Exeter is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 810 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Exeter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Exeter 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Exeter. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
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.
