“Amanda was amazing! She was so responsive and took care of my pup so last minute it was so helpful! My pup came home tuckered out and fulfilled with a day of cuddles. I will absolutely use Amanda again!”
“My 8yo dog Wilbur loved her time with Joshua and Rebecca! We haven't needed dog sitting or daycare often, and I am so glad I was able to find Joshua while in town on a work trip. Wilbur made new friends (she can be a loner but loves people), got out on tons of walks and creeks, and even got to ride in the dog van. It can be stressful finding the right dog care when on the road vs. at home with people you know, and I'm glad Wilbur got to spend a few day care days with this family!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they were always a part of my life, and caring for them came naturally. Both of my parents shared that same love for animals, so I was raised in a home where pets were treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. That love has stayed with me into adulthood. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, and there's always plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing—whatever makes them feel most at home. When your pet stays with me, they won't just be looked after—they'll be welcomed into a home where they're treated with the same love, care, and respect I'd want for my own pets. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that's going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home while their family is away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under my supervision. I never leave pets outside unattended, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of love and attention.
“Lindsey was so accommodating when we had to leave Oreo (our Shi Tzu) with her for 4 days. She has a Chihuahua of her own and both of them became friends. I would recommend her for your pet day care.”
About: I have not been an official sitter before, but I have been a dog owner for 20 years and know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. Dogs are family, and I understand the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We do not currently have any fur friends at home, so we would be honored to share that love with your dog. I provide a calm environment, pay attention to routines and needs, and communicate clearly so you can feel confident while you’re away. Because we do not currently have pets at home, we have room in our routine to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and companionship. We can be intentional about feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and we know how important it is to keep dogs on a routine that helps them feel safe and settled. We know dogs are family, so we care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. Our home is currently without other pets, which allows us to offer a calm environment and focused care. We will follow your instructions closely, pay attention to your dog’s comfort and behavior, and communicate clearly so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I am a reliable, active, and detail-oriented dog sitter. I tailor every stay to your dog's unique routine and personality. Fully equipped to handle feeding, medication, exercise and plenty of TLC. Let's chat about how I can make your dog's day great! I do doggie daycare/boarding full time, so I am always home. During the day, the pups go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the fenced yard, if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
“Julianna was a great dog sitter. She met us the night before to us. She was flexible when our plans changed slightly. She was responsive to messages and provided lots of pictures and comments to put us at ease. We will definitely keep her in mind the next time we need a dog sitter when we are in Londonderry. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”
“Winston had a great day with Andrew. He loved the fenced in yard and got to run around and play with toys! He was very tired when he got home. We will continue to bring him to Andrew in the future. Thank you!”
“Sheena and her family are the best! Stella had a wonderful stay, all the communication was great, she was surrounded by loving family and had a great time. Everything was very well organized, and super easy from our point of you.”
“Our collie, Logan, and ourselves, too loved Kathryn and her big back yard. Her 2 dogs, Arlo and Smoky, were great hosts. Logan had a fun time and came home happy and content. We are looking forward to many more daycares and boarding soon.”
“Jodie took wonderful care of our tiny pup while we were out for the day. We had consistent updates during the sit and pictures of a very content puppy that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the day. Already booked the next sit, so happy to have found a wonderful sitter nearby!”
“We have a 20 lb male Cavachon named Blazer. We were very pleased with Blazer’s stay with Robert. Robert was excellent at sending us pictures and keeping Blazer happy. Robert took Blazer for walks (even a special trip to the beach for Memorial Day) and let Blazer be comfortable on the furniture. We will book again with Robert.”
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats of all sizes, always loving any moment spent with them! I have a love for animals and taking care of them and would love to help you when you cannot provide the time or service you want to your pets when they need it! I am a teacher with the entire summer off! I can accommodate any schedule that best suits you and your pets needs whether it be during the week or weekend. I am incredibly respectful and trustworthy human with a love for animals and whatever best suits their needs and comfort level. I understand the needs of individual pets and am more than willing to go above and beyond to make both them and you feel comfortable.
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 7 month old pup. She was flexible and willing to adapt when we asked of the possibility of going from a daycare booking to an overnight stay. Makita had so much fun playing with her dog and she took her to the beach; her first time there. She was completely worn out which made our 3 hr journey back home easier for her. She slept the entire way! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again if the situation permitted it!”
About: I work full-time from home in Amherst, meaning your dog will never be left alone or crated for long stretches. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where guest dogs can run safely alongside my friendly 35 lb Rat Terrier/Beagle mix, Wally! Because I only host ONE client family at a time, your pet gets 100% of my attention, unlimited bathroom breaks, and constant supervision throughout the day. Whether it's lounging next to my desk or playing fetch in the yard, your dog will feel right at home. I work full-time from home, which means pet care seamlessly integrates into my day. Your dog won't be left alone or crated for hours while you're away. I take regular breaks throughout the day for yard play, potty breaks, and walks. Because I only take one client family at a time, your dog receives constant company alongside my friendly mix, Wally. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. Inside, furniture privileges are welcome if that's what your pup is used to at home! Whether your dog is crate-trained or prefers lounging on a dog bed, I adapt to their normal routine. Mandatory meet-and-greets ensure everyone gets along before booking.
About: I've been a lifelong dog lover (with the occasional cat in the mix) and actively foster for a rescue. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Science so your pets will be more than well taken care of. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle breaks, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep them happy! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company! I can easily accommodate crating if needed. I’ll make sure your dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Merrimack commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 662 sitters in Merrimack, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
