Looking forward to many more doggy adventures 😀”

“This is my 2nd time boarding my dog with Alyssa. Alyssa and Carleena took amazing care of her while she was in heat, providing plenty attention and play time with females and neutered males in a controlled environment. It's a comfort knowing my dog is in such good hands at Alyssa's!”

“Rootie enjoyed another fantastic stay with Xiaofan. Wonderful communication, regular photos, and very accommodating around our schedule. We always get a full report of our good girl’s behavior, and she comes home happy and healthy. Such a relief for us when we can’t be with her. Highest of recommendations, we will always try to book here when we need boarding!”

“Kourtney was very communicative and happy to take our dogs for the night with only a couple weeks of notice. Our dogs can be a handful, but she had no problem at all with them. I would recommend Kourtney to anyone looking for a Rover for an overnight stay, even if your dog(s) can be tricky!”

About: I have grown up with dogs, and I have been taking care of other people’s fur babies for three years! I love cats, dogs, and every animal in between. While I do have a 9-5 job, I am flexible in the evenings and mornings. I have open availability on weekends and a lot of flexibility on Fridays. I can board dogs at my house currently, and I am happy to come and care for them while you are away this holiday season.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have 18 years of pet care experience. I have had pleasure of owning three dogs over the course of my adult life. I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day. My husband Martin will also join me on walks/trails at times when he is home in the evening and weekends. I offer in-home boarding. Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner. All dogs boarding must be crate trained for nightly sleep for their safety and the safety of other dogs.

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life so I’m used to being around them. I also have had one other dog before and now have a mini dachshund. I’m very comfortable with taking care of dogs and having them in my space. I work a full time job at home, but I’m in control of my own schedule and am very flexible. I’m also available weekends and in the summer, I’m even more flexible. I take my dog out 2-3x a day depending on weather. We go on walk across the street at the park for about 15-20 min and when we are back inside, he is allowed to roam freely. He eats 2x a day with snacks in between and he always has water out. I play with him as much as I can throughout the day to make sure he doesn’t get too bored with his day too! My apartment is always clean to ensure that my pup doesn’t get into anything he isn’t supposed to. Lastly, my apartment building is secure as you need a key fob or someone to buzz you in to enter the building.

I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to take care of their dog with as much love as they do...Bernie almost did not want to come back with us :) We will definitely be booking with Kimberlie again in the future, thank you!”

“My Little Miss Sunshine (3 year old cocker spaniel) is so happy at Kavita’s home! She follows their dog Toby and plays with him in the big fenced in yard. Kavita also made a special shopping trip for Sunshine’s food because I did not leave enough for her. The family is also flexible when my travel plans get changed. Sunshine will be back next month!”

Amanda and her family provided wonderful care for our dog Toby. He had plenty of outdoor playtime and inside cuddle time with her kids. Will absolutely love to bring Toby back to Amanda for future care.

Brooke was fantastic! She was super great with the meet and greet to make sure our dog would be okay there, then the actual boarding, we couldn't be more happy. Brooke had great communication, updated us every day with pictures and a couple of videos while Grace was with her. She was super caring for Grace too. Making sure she had great playtime with some new friends, and some toys. She took great care in ensuring Grace's favorite toy (that she brings with her everywhere) was kept for her so it wouldn't get damaged or lost. Brooke is top notch and a great dog sitter!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Merrimack

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Merrimack is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 927 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Merrimack. About 92% of Merrimack sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
