“Yingying took care of my dog really well for the week. My dog Nia has separation anxiety and yingying let her sleep in the bedroom to keep her calm. We really appreciate it.”
“As a repeat customer of this particular sitter I use her time and time again. The picture that receive show how happy my dog is with this family. You can tell that he has enough exercise, he has enough outdoor time, and he has enough cuddle time. As long as my dog is happy-I am happy.”
“Julie is the best!! Being our second boarding with Julie, Nelly was excited to see her when I dropped her off- a wonderful sign! Julie is in tune with Nelly’s needs providing my high energy dog with the exercise and attention she needs. I was provided with pictures and updates, and at pick up Nelly was clearly a happy pup, also giving Julie love before leaving. Highly recommend!”
“Outstanding once again! Brooke cared for our dog while we were away for 12 days, she cared for Fina like she was her own. Kept us updated daily with photos and notes. Thank you Brooke again!! We appreciate you so very much!”
“We just love Rebeca and her whole family! They all pitch in and take care of the dogs that stay with them and we have a VERY active dog so it is so good for her to have lots of people to play with while we’re away. :) I can tell Cici always has the best time with them and we don’t have to worry about her at all while on vacation. We got the most gorgeous pics of her to see all the fun walks she was taking and fun games she was playing with their daughter. And at the end of the stay their daughter gave her a little Halloween goody bag with the CUTEST note talking about her favorite moment of Cici’s stay with her. It’s just so sweet you can see how much they care about your dog when they are with them. Cici will for sure be back over and over again! 🥰”
“Megan is absolutely incredible. She treats our dog as if she were her own. She communicates regularly and keeps us informed. So very grateful to have Megan watch our Fina when we are away. Five stars and beyond!”
“Jodie took excellent care of my dog, Gremlin. She made sure he was walked and well-fed. He received a good brushing, along with a change of outfit. Jodie treated him like he was her own. We will definitely be booking again soon!”
“Krystyna & Sara are AWESOME!! If you have a dog that needs to board somewhere, you don't have to second guess leaving it with these two great hosts!! My pup was EXHAUSTED after picking him up, the house dog Bernie, did a great job matching Whiskey's energy and wore him out. He's still catching up on his sleep the next day! LOL. We even found out that he's good with cats! I will be boarding my dog there again next month. A++++++. experience.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs for over 10 years and have always loved caring for animals. I recently moved out of my parents’ home after losing my last childhood dog, and I’m not quite ready to have my own dog just yet. I’d love to spend that time caring for and loving other people’s pets! I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels and understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, give them lots of attention, and keep them comfortable in a home environment. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and will treat your pet like they are my own. I work three night shifts per week as a nurse, while my partner works weekday mornings and afternoons as an electrician. Because of our schedules, there are plenty of days and times when I’m available to give pets my full attention with his help. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. We have an unfenced lawn at home and live on a quiet dead-end road with safe walking areas around a lake, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I’m also happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’m happy to take your dogs out on a leash for walks and exercise. Although we do not have a fenced-in yard, we have a lawn and I will always make sure pets are supervised and safely leashed when outside. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or routine instructions to help your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Would absolutely book again, Cherie took great care of my dogs one of whom needed some special attention due to anxiety/stress and she took great effort to find some kind of food he would eat. The dogs enjoyed the big yard too!”
About: I am a lifetime dog lover and would love to care for your dog like they were my own. My last dog, Finn, gained his angel wings in June and was with me for 15 amazing years. I'd like to continue caring for other pups in his honor! I am also an approved foster for a local dog rescue, and have experience with puppies, mama dogs, and older dogs. I am very happy to care for older dogs as they hold a special place in my heart! If your dog boards with me, they will get tons of love, snuggles, exercise and walks, and have a safe place to be while you are away. My goal is to make my home their second favorite place to be :) I currently work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule. I do have two school aged children at home, so we have a very consistent daily and weekly routine. Until recently, we had a dog at home, so pet care fits very naturally into our days. We have a large back yard away from the road. It is not fenced in, but I will take your pet out on a leash for bathroom breaks, walking for exercise and some supervised playing! There will not be any outside time that is unsupervised. I am very familiar with crate trained dogs or with uncrated dogs as long as they are safe outside of the crate (as in they are old enough not to eat dangerous things etc). If you have a puppy that is not house trained yet, I request that they be in a crate for night time. Inside the home, they will have access only to the floor that I am on at the moment, so as to keep them safe and out of trouble! We have plenty of gates and other items to block off different parts of the house. Mostly they will just be hanging out with me! I also have an octagon style play pen for puppies.

“Thank you Ashley for everything! My dog Winston stayed with Ashley this past week and she was excellent. She made me feel very confident that she cared and loved my dog while I was away. She was flexible and willing to work with my dog's special needs. She was in constant contact and sent photos on the regular. Her home was clean and had a great yard for my dog. I highly recommend Ashley :) THANK YOU!”
“Michael was very communicative the whole time, and our Caju had a great time at his house! He was well taken care of and came back happy and tired :) I’ll definitely do it again when needed!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, having owned and been with many dogs throughout my life. I provide a safe environment with a large yard, stay home full-time during care, administer medications when needed, and have personally trained each of my dogs, including my French bulldog, Rodolfo. I have flexible schedule, working from home and can provide flexible pick up and drop off times. Playing with the dogs gives me multiple opportunities to step away from work during the day. I live on more than 2 acres on a quiet road. I have a friendly 2 year old French Bulldog that loves to play with other dogs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Litchfield
Brooke was fantastic! She was super great with the meet and greet to make sure our dog would be okay there, then the actual boarding, we couldn't be more happy. Brooke had great communication, updated us every day with pictures and a couple of videos while Grace was with her. She was super caring for Grace too. Making sure she had great playtime with some new friends, and some toys. She took great care in ensuring Grace's favorite toy (that she brings with her everywhere) was kept for her so it wouldn't get damaged or lost. Brooke is top notch and a great dog sitter!

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.
96% of sitters in Litchfield 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 Litchfield 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 Litchfield.
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 Litchfield. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Litchfield 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.
