“Murphy had such a blast with Joe! He came home happy and fluffy! He usually resists going to a kennel so we decided to try this approach! Will definitely do this again! Loved seeing his pics and getting updates! A total 5-star experience!!”
“I can not say enough how lucky I am to have found Ashley and her family. I wont ever leave my dog with anyone else. They treated her like family and I got everyday messages and videos which I loved. I got to see her running around their yard playing with their dog and cuddled in bed watching movies with them as a family like we would at home. I was able to go on vacation for 7 days and know that I left my baby in the best possible hands. Their love of dogs and amazing yard sold me instantly. They put all my worries to rest knowing I was leaving her with a loving family not in a kennel. Anyone’s dog would be lucky to stay with them. Absolutely positive experience for me and my dog!”
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 felt very comfortable, safe, and secure with my dog Tubbs in Abbie’s care. She has great communication, is kind and caring, and Tubbs was in the best mood when I picked him up (I’m not certain he wanted to leave!). Highly recommend, will definitely rebook!”
“Samantha was great! She is the best Rover sitter that we’ve had for our dog. She took her on 1-2 walks per day and sent us plenty of pictures. Our dog seemed very happy with her, and Samantha was great with communication. Our flight got delayed almost two hours, and Samantha was very flexible with us picking our dog up later. Would highly recommend!!”
About: I have taken care of pets and have had pets for as long as I can remember. I have two dogs and three cats! My animals are my kids! I have worked hard with my dogs to train them, as well as, one of them being my service dog. I am currently unemployed and have plenty of time to give your pet lots of time, energy and love. I truly enjoy spending as much time with animals as I can My dogs are trained to be on and off leash. I will take care of your pet in whatever way you feel is best for your pet and per your instructions.
“Enzo can be a shy guy and a little nervous but Lauren did everything to make him feel comfortable including checking in with me, which I truly appreciate. He came home happy and tired and we would use Lauren again!”
“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”
“Our dog had an awesome time with Allaire and was very well cared for while we were away! Allaire was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely use Allaire again for boarding!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Meriden
We left our 2 year old doodle mix named Fern with Jess and couldn’t be more happy with her care! Fern is very shy around people and Jess made sure to watch out for her and make her as comfortable as possible. She shared plenty of photos of Fern enjoying some hiking and getting along well with her family. She was very responsive to any questions about how she was doing and Fern seemed to have a great stay.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Meriden is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $67 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 of October 2026, there are 76 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Meriden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
92% of sitters in Meriden 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 Meriden home-away-from-home, 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 Meriden.
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 Meriden 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 , 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 .
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.
