Tegan has walked my dog for the last couple months while I'm at work and she has been so wonderful! She is on time and communicated well. I have a high energy husky and Tegan has done such a great job with her. I couldn't recommend her more!

Hannah was wonderful with our two kitties. She came over a day early for a meet and greet and our kitties warmed to her really quickly. She was very communicative and sent great updates. We loved having Hannah as our sitter and will definitely use her again!

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: Hey!! I’m Kirsten, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my brother and I cared for our own pets and even helped stray animals in our neighborhood. That love for animals has stayed with me throughout my life. I also have hands-on experience working with an animal rescue, where I helped care for 14 dogs and 12 cats. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, providing basic daily care, keeping the animals comfortable, and—of course—giving them plenty of attention and love. I’ve also provided dog sitting and pet care for others over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and comfortable following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I’m currently interested in dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, companionship, or simply someone there to make them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to help. As a mom, I know how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and lots of love while they’re with me. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full time and would be working around my schedule to accommodate the needs of everyone. Each dog will be loved and cared for as anyone else. ❤️❤️❤️ I do not have a fenced in area on my drive. My three other sides are fenced in. Looking to figure out how to fence the driveway. ❤️❤️❤️

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.

About: I grew up always having at least one dog in my home, I now have two. I was tasked with feeding, walking, and playing with them. Often times when neighbors and friends would go out of town I would look after their pets, staying at their house when needed. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week, I am booked from 11am to 1pm most of the week and from 11am to 4pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On the weekends I often go away, but I can likely be available if requested. When caring for someone’s pet I always make sure to follow the instructions given. This can rang from their diet, to their bathroom / walking schedule, to whatever else they may need.

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 taken pet care seriously since my childhood dog passed away several years ago. I have taken care of senior dogs, and currently a hyperactive dog I've had since she was 3 months old. I previously worked at Petsmart, so I can administer medication to a variety of pets, including lizards and birds! You can trust me with your puppy, houstrained or not, up to your oldest, biggest dog. I also take care of the family cat and love spending time with cats in general. During the weekdays and weekends I have all the time in the world for your pet as needed! Early days or late nights are just fine. Whatever your pet wants or needs, I can give 100%. They can get up on the couch with me, I will give them long walks and they'll get plenty of belly rubs and treats! For cats they're such picky little rascals that I will adjust to their needs, whether that's playing or giving them space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Merrimack on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,367 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Merrimack. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Merrimack stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 .

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Merrimack. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
