“Heather was very quick to respond when I was looking for a dog sitter. She is very responsive and always kept me updated! My dog had a little upset stomach and she did give him some pumpkin puree :) I would definitely rebook with Heather and highly recommend!!”

“Karen & her family greeted us with open arms & took the best care of our Ellie May while we were away for the week! We will definitely reach out again the next time we travel. Highly recommend her as a pet care taker! You won't be disappointed at all!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for several years, including my own dog, Million. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s needs. I live in a quiet home with no children, no smoking, and a calm environment that helps dogs feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines closely, enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and can provide frequent updates, photos, and videos. Your dog will be treated like family while staying with me. I work from home, so I am at home most of the day and able to give dogs plenty of attention. Because my schedule is flexible, I can take them out for walks, outdoor breaks, and playtime whenever they need. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I live in a clean and quiet house with no children, no smoking, and multiple extra rooms where visiting dogs can rest comfortably. We also have an open yard where dogs can safely explore under supervision. My dog Million is friendly and fully trained, and I introduce dogs slowly to ensure everyone feels safe. I provide free toys and treats, follow your dog’s routine closely, and send frequent photo and video updates so you always know how your pup is doing.

“Kristin & James were absolutely wonderful for our two dogs. They accommodated a last minute booking for two. We received so many wonderful photos of our pups adventure. If you are looking for an amazing place for your dogs definitely consider Kristin and James! We are so thankful!”

“Shirley took great care of our two dogs ( 4yr old and 12yr old) while we were on vacation. They came home looking happy and we were thankful for the good care and ongoing photos and updates she was providing us with.”

“I cannot speak more highly of Eric and his sweet family! They kept my dog while I had a week long work event in Boston, and they took fantastic care of her. They sent me regular photos and they promptly answered any nervous mama questions I sent their way. We were worried about her getting spooked by the fireworks over the holiday weekend, and Eric and his fam took lots of precaution to make sure she was safe and happy. The pups that live with them are sweet and they got along great with my dog. I will be booking with them again if we're ever in the area!”

About: I am a kind and caring person to all animals. I’ve housesat and taken care of neighbors dogs and cats when they were away. I have experience with heat-sensitive pets so I have experience gauging pets’ comfort level in relation to outside weather. I'm free mostly anytime, I’m extremely responsible and will take careful and loving care of all animals that I take care of through rover. I’ve always loved animals and rover is a great opportunity to earn money while having fun. Dogs would get my undivided attention during walks and other services. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I truly love animals and I have time to give them the care they need. Thank you for the consideration! I currently work remote so I am flexible in regards to when a pet needs care at any time. I also have availability on the weekends. I have ample space for pets to enjoy and run around. I live in a friendly neighborhood with minimal car traffic for walks. Open backyard as well.

About: I’ve taken care of a family dog Chihuahua for the past 8 years. I enjoy taking her on walks and giving her all the attention she deserves! I currently am on a job rotation in Maine. I am unable to take the step to caring for a dog full time, but I’d love to fill the void with weekly care! I care for a dog like I’d care for a family member. It’s important for me to create a comfortable environment for the dog to hang around in
About: Having worked alongside my wife (Felicia S.), who has earned Star Sitter status on Rover, I understand how important communication, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone else's pet. Helping her with her pet-sitting services has given me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities, ages, and needs. My goal is to provide the same dependable, loving care that has helped her earn Star Sitter recognition while building my own relationships with pets and their owners. I’ve cared for my own pets and helped friends and family with their animals over the years, in addition to providing pet care independently. My experience includes feeding, refreshing water, daily care, walking, exercise, playtime, and offering plenty of attention and companionship. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and boarding. Depending on your pet’s needs, care may include walks, potty breaks, feeding, fetch, exercise, and relaxed companionship. Our home is set well back from the main road and features a large, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy safe, supervised outdoor play. I’m comfortable reinforcing established puppy routines, providing a gentler pace for senior pets, and crating your dog if requested. What sets me apart is my patience, flexible schedule, and commitment to giving each pet individualized attention. I’m generally home full-time, allowing me to accommodate daytime walks, visits, and plenty of one-on-one care. I carefully follow your instructions and provide photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, answer any questions, and make sure we're a great fit! I work from home. I have plenty of flexibility to help with your pets. I’m home the majority of the day and can easily adjust to your pet’s schedule. While in my care, your pet will be closely supervised, treated with patience and respect, and given plenty of attention. I follow your routines and household rules, and provide regular photos and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Marlena did an amazing job with my energetic boy! He loved spending time with her and Scout and I knew he was in great hands from the wonderful updates, pics, and videos of Calvin’s time with her. Thank you Marlena!”

“Kate was amazing with Max. Her space was clean and welcoming. I think Max had more fun with Kate than he does at home! Will definitely use Kate’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
Our first visit with Katie was an overnight stay. Everything went smoothly, from drop-off to pick-up. I enjoyed the photos she sent. It’s always informative to see how Gracie adapts to new situations. I feel that Gracie was well cared for, and will definitely book with her again.

Rebecca is amazing! My pups had the absolute best time! She is extremely communicative and sent tons of much appreciated photos. This was my little dog's first time away from home and he's exceptionally choosy about his people.... well the little man fell head over heels for Rebecca and didn't want to come home. She was able to give my very different dogs exactly what each of them needed to feel safe and happy, and I feel incredibly lucky that we found her!

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.
