About: Hi there! My name is Ayslinn, pronounced “eyes-linn”, but you can also call me River. Growing up in a home where my mom was a dog groomer, I was always surrounded by dogs and learned from a young age how to care for them with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve helped friends train their dogs, including a lively husky, and I’ve worked with many different breeds, from tiny lap dogs to big, high-energy pups. I also have experience caring for puppies and nervous dogs, providing gentle patience to help them feel safe and comfortable. My focus is always on making sure every pet gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy companion, or an energetic dog who loves long walks, I treat every pet like family. I work full-time Monday through Thursday from 5:30am to 3:30pm, so my primary availability is on weekends. Throughout October I won’t be available after 5:00pm as I’ll be working weekend nights. I’m open for walks, and pet sitting throughout the weekend during the day and can occasionally do evenings after 4:30pm on weekdays if needed. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I can’t host dogs in my apartment, but I provide safe, reliable care in your home so your pup feels comfortable in their own space. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding, walking, or crate training, and I’m experienced with many breeds, puppies, and nervous dogs. I’m also comfortable with special instructions like giving medications or sticking to unique schedules, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up all my life with both dogs and cats and have taken care/responsibility of them from a young age and would love nothing more than to help out and spend my free time giving them attention and care! I’m a nurse who currently works Monday-Thursdays and have my weekends available for day visits and overnight stays if needed! I’m also available in the mornings on Mondays! I’m very respectful towards my clients homes and care for them as carefully and cautiously as the pets I care for. I treat their homes as I would want my own treated and if I have any questions or concerns I’m not afraid to reach out!
“Anthony has been absolutely wonderful with our young puppy (from 10 to 14 weeks)! He has taught him to walk with manners and helped us with tricks! Our puppy absolutely adores him — we will continue to rebook! Thank you so much, Anthony!”
About: I've taken care of friends pet/pets for years and totally enjoy the experience and looking forward to more opportunities to care and love for your pet/pets. I'm retired so very flexible with my schedule and routine. Love being outdoors walking, hiking, etc. making sure the pet is content with all activities I sometimes care for pets in my own home. Lots of walking and play. I also sit at clients homes for pet's familiarity and safety
About: As a lifelong dog lover and dog owner, I’ve been caring for pets since I was young. Over the last 4 years, I’ve house sat and cared for dogs for friends and family, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, routines, and overnight care. I also help care for my roommate’s dog regularly, so I’m comfortable with the daily responsibilities that come with keeping pets happy, safe, and on schedule. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for yours like they’re part of my own family. I currently have a job where I work remotely for half the week and I am home on the weekends. I am free for boarding wednesdays after 4 through the weekend. I have a very flexible schedule at work so would be able to extend trips when needed! I currently have a large backyard that is fully fenced in and plenty of safe neighborhoods nearby for long walks. Caring for pets inside I have a clean home with no clutter to be sure the pets are safe with nothing to get into. I enjoy spending time with pets so am always playing and cuddling with them! When I am away I would always be sure they are safe and happy before leaving and could lock them up if need be but with my animals I like to let them roam when I am not home.
About: Lifelong animal lover with years of experience, caring for a senior dog on weekends and weekdays as needed. As a pet owner to both a bunny and a cat, I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to providing a safe, fun, and positive experience for your furry family members. 🐾 Because I work part-time, my schedule changes weekly, but I’m usually available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I also have some weekends free, depending on my work schedule. I’m very flexible and always willing to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best. Whenever I have availability, I’m happy to help with last-minute pet care requests! Since I am unable to host pets in my own home, I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment. I understand that trust is important when inviting someone into your home, and I always treat both your home and pets with respect and care. I follow instructions closely and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
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.
“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!!”
“Taylor took wonderful care of my pets, including a geriatric dog that required medicine twice daily. I can’t think her enough or find adequate words to express the tremendous care she provided. Highly recommend this excellent caregiver!”

About: I have been training my own dogs since puppyhood, I have dog sat for multiple family friends (two dogs at a time), I can be very gentle with senior dogs but playful with puppies. Most importantly I am flexible in learning your commands and preferences! I am an OT student home from college and I work part time, about 3 days a week. I also frequent the gym during the week but for no longer than 2 hour periods. I am comfortable with electric fences/collars or walking around a yard with the dog on leash. Very good at following instructions on how to get pups back into crates/rooms
About: I have been taking care of my assistant coach’s dog for two years now. House sitting and potty breaks. I don’t have pets of my own so I love to get my fix while being helpful!

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.

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.
