“Adriana and her daughter Rafaela took excellent care of Cookie while we were away for a whole week. They updated daily with photos and updates and were very patient and kind to her. I felt completely comfortable all week knowing she was getting cuddles and love! 💕”
“We just love Rebeca and her whole family! They all pitch in and take care of the dogs that stay with them and we have a VERY active dog so it is so good for her to have lots of people to play with while we’re away. :) I can tell Cici always has the best time with them and we don’t have to worry about her at all while on vacation. We got the most gorgeous pics of her to see all the fun walks she was taking and fun games she was playing with their daughter. And at the end of the stay their daughter gave her a little Halloween goody bag with the CUTEST note talking about her favorite moment of Cici’s stay with her. It’s just so sweet you can see how much they care about your dog when they are with them. Cici will for sure be back over and over again! 🥰”
“Felt completely at ease leaving my dog Peeky and my aunts dog Coco with Salish. She takes care of them so well and keeps us updated. She’s very patient and understanding with Peeky who is very reactive so it was very hard to find him a sitter who would be patient and understanding and luckily we found Salish!”
“We are so grateful to have found Julia in our hometown! She was a fantastic sitter for our Samoyed and treated him like one of her own kiddos. She was a great communicator and provided multiple pictures and updates each day which we greatly appreciated! Highly recommend!”
“Would absolutely book again, Cherie took great care of my dogs one of whom needed some special attention due to anxiety/stress and she took great effort to find some kind of food he would eat. The dogs enjoyed the big yard too!”
“We had such a great experience leaving our little Luna with Jacob and Willie (his friendly dog!). Jacob was super communicative with little reassuring updates and made sure to provide a cozy and comfortable space for her to stay while we were on vacation. Were really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone to care for their pup!”
“Peter and his family are just great. Bailey had a wonderful time and was well cared for. It was the first time I left him with someone other than family. I could just tell how excited he was to be with the kids and have so much attention. He slept well when I bought him home so I know he was well taken care of and exercised. I highly recommend Peter. Will definitely return! Cathy H”
“Amanda and her family were amazing with our dog, Bailey. Great communication and tons of photos and videos. For our first Rover experience, she set the bar sky-high.”
“Ruth was absolutely wonderful and very flexible! She and Roxy welcomed Pablo and made him comfortable and happy from the moment one. I was comfortable knowing that my senior pup is in loving and experienced hands. He had a great time socializing, walking and enjoying Ruth's backyard. Thank you so much!!”
“Reesi and Tanner made themselves right at home with Sindy and her family within a few minutes after arriving there. We were a bit concerned about how they might adjust in a new place with new people, but we soon discovered we didn't have to worry at all. We were able to leave them for the day and not worry about a thing. Sindy even sent us several pictures of them throughout the day to let us know they were safe and sound while we were able to enjoy our 4-year-old grandson's birthday party in another state. We highly recommend Sindy when you need someone to care for your pets while away!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, it has always been a pleasure watching pets for my friends and family and I have two of my own, an Alaskan Malamute and a mixed rescue. I like to bring them out to nature to sniff new places and fun activities. I’ve also volunteered as a foster for the MSPCA, including for puppy litters. After adopting Raven, I completed the MSPCA’s shy dog training to support her as a fearful dog and she has done amazing progress. I have been pet sitting and boarding for years, some of them along my own dogs as I put some pictures below. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and behaviors, including the ones that need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog has their own routine and comfort level, and my goal is to get to know them individually to make walks and drop-in visits a safe, positive experience! I work regular business hours usually, but my schedule varies and allows for flexibility throughout the week, especially when planning ahead, my partner also supports our dogs at home. I do my best effort to accommodate different schedules and individual needs. I value clear communication regarding what usually works for your pup, as we know it’s out of the pet’s routine to have someone else tend to them and I want it to be a comfortable and safe experience. I always pay attention to body language, their boundaries and surroundings to create a safe and positive experience. My own dogs are crate-trained and I am comfortable handling multiple dogs on a leash. I follow their established routines and provide owners with many updates as I would like someone handling my pups to do.
“Donna was a great dog sitter! She was quick to respond and seemed loving and caring towards my dog Lucky. She updated me a couple times throughout the stay and Lucky seemed very comfortable when I picked him up. Thank you Donna!”
“We're hapoy to share that Dexter had an amazing 4-night stay with Kavita! She went above and beyond, keeping us updated regularly. What truly impressed us was her attentiveness to Dexter's specific needs - she quickly picked up on his resource guarding issue and handled it with care. Unlike other sitters, Kavita's insight and expertise made all the difference. After 5 years of using various pet care services, we can confidently say this experience was one of the best. We highly recommend Kavita's home as a warm and welcoming haven for your furry friend - it's truly a home away from home!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Likun—she is truly the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment Chewy arrived, he was showered with so much love, attention, and care. 🐾💛 She spent tons of time playing with him and made sure he was always happy and engaged. Her large backyard was an absolute dream—plenty of space for Chewy to run around, explore, and have the time of his life! It honestly felt like a mini vacation for him. What really stood out was the 1-on-1 attention she gave him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Chewy absolutely adored her. I picked him up relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and full of love for your pup, Likun is it. We will definitely be booking with her again—Chewy can’t wait to go back!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we dropped Puck off, it was clear how caring and attentive she is. She truly treated him like her own—giving him so much love, attention, and comfort while we were away. She kept us completely at ease by sending lots of pictures and regular updates, which meant so much to us. It was obvious in every message how happy and well cared for Puck was. Coming home to a relaxed, happy pup says everything. We are so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly, highly recommend!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Pelham can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pelham home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Pelham.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pelham. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Pelham sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
