“Ardin did a great job with our big 100 lb. boy, Charlie, for 11 days, 3x a day drop in visits. The photos she included, with the activities they did (walks and soccer) showed a happy dog. Her texts really reassured us about how well it was going and we plan on rebooking with Ardin for a long family wedding this fall!”
“Anna & Jordan did a super job caring for my cat while I was out of town. She sent updates and photos so I knew how Oliver was doing and kept the litter box area clean and tidy. The house was in great shape when I returned. I will be booking them again!!”
“Olivia was extremely attentive to all 3 of my pets needs and gave all 3 of them love and play as well as the care they required. I would highly recommend her services and will be using her again going forward”
“Indigo was great with the cats! They warmed up to Indigo quickly and seemed comfortable. Indigo was communicated well, asked great questions, and took excellent care of our pets.”
“Demi was responsive and very respectful. She came by to meet our family and cat and while we were away she took great care of our cat. I highly recommend her and will rebook with her in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a slower pace, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies that need consistency, patience, and reinforcement of basic training and house routines. I'm also comfortable caring for senior dogs who require medications, mobility assistance, or a more relaxed schedule. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral concerns. Reliability and communication are extremely important to me. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt responses so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your pet with dependable, compassionate care in a safe and loving environment. I make it a priority to give each pet the time and attention they deserve rather than rushing through visits. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, taking a long walk, or simply providing companionship, I plan my day around each pet's needs. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so your pet stays comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do everything I can to maintain their schedule while you're away. In your home, I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. I also make sure your home stays clean and secure, including refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and keeping litter boxes or outdoor areas tidy. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality. Some love long walks and games of fetch, while others simply want companionship and affection. I adapt my care to meet their individual needs and comfort level. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce house-training, crate routines, and basic commands that you're already working on. For senior pets, I provide a slower pace, extra patience, medication administration if needed, and close monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Safety is always my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and make sure they have plenty of fresh water, exercise, and attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Kaitlyn, and I recently moved from Florida to New Hampshire! I’ve cared for pets my whole life; Dogs, cats, turtles, horses. All ages, all breeds, all behaviors! I’ve walked dogs, house sat, cared for cats, and made sure any furry friend was happy and comfortable. Your pet will always come first! I’m flexible and can fit your friend into any part of my day. No matter the distance, I will always make sure your pet is taken care of. I make sure the pet is comfortable with me, and take all needs into consideration to make sure they feel safe with me. Doing this allows me to build trust with them and make sure they’re okay while you’re away.
“She was awesome being able to help me out with a couple days notice. She was able to follow my instructions of feeding my cats loving on them and ironically, most importantly, keeping my plant/flowers alive while I was on vacation by watering them. Thank you so much!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. From growing up with dogs, to working with them, they've always been there. I'm a formally trained groomer who has worked in various places around New England. My specially was working with puppies and dogs with anxiety. Both of those need extra patience and time to keep them safe, comfortable, and to make it the best experience possible. I've also worked for a doggy daycare, have done at home walks, and have a number of years experience with housesitting dogs of all ages. I'm a stay at home mom with two young kids, one in school, one will be going in the fall. We spend plenty of time in our yard, getting fresh air and sun. I have a large yard, unfenced, and a good sized home with plenty of space. There are stairs in the front to get upstairs, but no stairs by the backdoor, making it easy for dogs with mobility issues to come inside.
“Chloe is an excellent dog sitter! She comes on time, makes sure my dog is taken out, and fed. She also walks and plays with her. She is very responsive and will ask if anything is needed. I also like her pricing as it is affordable. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Brooke did a fantastic job checking in on our 11 year old Labrador while we were away for 2 1/2 days. She kept me updated with pictures and notes and asked any questions she may have had. Highly recommend and we will hopefully rebook her again if she’s available!”
“Ashley was a responsible and reliable sitter for our cat Monty. She was punctual to our schedule and communication was excellent. She clearly cares for the animals in her charge, and goes the extra mile to make sure they are well cared for.”

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Merrimack choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Merrimack with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
