“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter, Veska. She took amazing care of Oaits and was gentle, attentive, and highly professional throughout. She made sure to understand what Oatis’ needs were by communicating with us and kept us up to date through out the stay. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and we felt completely at ease knowing Oaits was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Nicole took great care of my dog during a daycare, and she has a safe and awesome yard. It’s always hard leaving your best friend with a new sitter, but I could tell that my dog had a great day and we will definitely come back to Nicole’s for future daycare and boarding!”
“Mac had a wonderful day with Robert and his pups. He had never been to a dog sitter before so we were a bit anxious about leaving him. We had a meet and greet before the day visit and when Mac got to Bob’s house on the day of the visit, Mac remembered that it was a place with people that he liked. Bob’s updates through the day made us rest easy that Mac was being well cared for. We loved the report card and pictures that we got at the end of the visit. We look forward to our next booking with Bob.”
“Very sweet person! Totally a dog person!!! Cece was so comforting for us and our puppy, who had never been without us before. It was a big deal that she was communicative while we were away, letting us know she was okay as well sending photos. Last minute acheduling was important for our situation and she was immediately available. We will definitely ask her again if we are in the area and need a sitter.”
“Adelle has been wonderful with our boy who suffers from severe separation anxiety. He gets along great with her pups, and he is visibly excited as he gets closer to her house. He comes home absolutelt exhausted after a day at daycare with Adelle! 10/10”
“Ashley was great with Farley and had other friendly dogs there for Farley to play with. They went on a field trip and dipped in the water and Ashley sent photos throughout the day of Farley having fun. Thanks Ashley!”
About: Without exception, the dog park is always one of the best parts of my day. I've had three dogs of my own, and have been around countless other dogs, most of whom instantly become my new best friends. We just gravitate to each other, hence the fuzzy friend whisperer nickname. I have a playful, loving attitude toward every dog I meet. I am also sensitive to dogs who need a little more patience and space to ease into trusting me and respect the boundaries that they need to do that. My training style with my own dogs is focused on positive reinforcement rather than punishment. This approach translates to other dogs as well, unless their owners request differently. Your dog will be in caring, responsible hands with me. They will be loved. Vogel Emergency Vet just opened right across the street from our house, so if anything kind of emergency pops up, your baby will be a hop, skip and a jump away from the care they need. I'm self employed and work mostly from home so my schedule is quite flexible. Sometimes I’ll have drop in visits throughout the day, but if your dog is boarding with me, there will generally be someone else at home with them. They’ll rarely, if ever be left alone. I live on a small farm but also live near a road, so your dog will always be safely on a leash when we go outside for potty breaks. I have a very friendly 12 year old 45lb labradoodle named Huck to keep your baby company in the rare cases that I'm not at home. I have a "squirrel observatory" (bird feeder) right near my workspace so your dog will not only be supervised most of the time but also entertained.
About: Growing up, we always had a dog or two and cats in the house. Each one, a member of the family that are loved and spoiled. I now have a year and a half old English chocolate lab named Errol and two cats, Pepper and Chester who are 12 and 6 years old. I have two teenage daughters, and my youngest works for a dog training and daycare taking care of dogs. Our family loves our pets and I and am excited to share that love with yours! I work full time from home 8:30 am-5:00 pm. I have limited time mid day that I use to do drop-in visits and short walks, and am otherwise available before or after my shift. I work full time from home during the day and my best general availability on the weekends. I can certainly make arrangements for mid day visits or care for a dog at my home during the day. I am always happy to rearrange things, even during the week to meet your family’s needs. I have a large yard and a chocolate lab of my own to keep your dog company. We live to play outside, for walks in the woods, and run around the yard playing in the doggy pool. For more adventurous dogs with some woody experience, our property is on the Lamprey River with access to play and swim.
“Anne was absolutely wonderful to work with! She watched my pup while I spent the day on the beach. She was a great communicator, amazing with my dog and an overall sweet woman. 10/10!! I highly recommended! Her little dog is an absolute love too! I will definitely use her again”
“Words cannot express right now how thankful I am for Karen. Although he's been with me for quite some time, my dog Zeus is originally a shelter dog. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I found it necessary to schedule recurring daycare for him this summer. We never tried daycare before, and - as Zeus finds new environments difficult - I was definitely nervous trying this out. We have done two daytime stays so far, and Karen has been a pleasure to work with. She is very easy to communicate with, and I particularly appreciate her patience with Zeus - as well as with "mom". Karen's approach to working with new dogs - which she communicated right off the bat - was immediately reassuring to me. Having also observed Karen's interaction with dogs a couple of times now, as well as photos of Zeus from his stays with her, I feel confident that I'm leaving my dog in trained and caring hands.”
“Heather was an absolute lifesaver and a fantastic sitter! She jumped in last minute when we needed her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She provided regular updates with messages and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was so sweet to hear how my dog enjoy playing together with her dog, enjoyed a little backyard chase, and even went on a car ride! Heather even let my dog borrow a coat for their walk, which was such a thoughtful touch. I truly appreciate all the care and attention she provided, making sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and well-loved. If you're looking for a reliable, kind, and communicative sitter, Heather is the best! I highly recommend her and would definitely book again.”
“Lupa had a great time with Jing and her family!! I received pictures of him and updates during his stay and I felt at ease knowing he is having a great time playing with his doggy friends and being taken great care of. I will definitely book again when I need a sitter for him!”
“Shelby is great and I feel Tory is taken care of when she is there. She is a plus for us when we go to Amesbury to visit daughters & grandkids as they live a mile from Shelby and if we go out where dogs aren’t allowed Rory doesn’t have to stay alone bc Shelby is so close.”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and currently have two small (under 20lb) resident dogs. I have experience medicating a range of health issues via injection, pill, or eye/ear drops. I'm also a foster with Last Hope K9 and have a wealth of resources available to me, and therefore can be provided to you. Dogs are allowed on furniture and I have a fenced in yard with dog door! I work from home with a dog door that pets have access to throughout the day. I accompany them out every few hours and would not leave them unattended for more than 2 hours while caring for your pet! I spend much of my free time relaxing with my current dogs, and your pets would join us during couch or play time. They would be fed according to your schedule and requirements, and regular photos provided.
“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!”

Our golden retriever Ginger loved being at Nicole’s home! On the day we dropped her off for day care, Ginger clearly remembered how much fun she had at her meet and greet. She race-dog ran out of the car and into the yard without a backward glance! When we picked her up later that day, she was happy and tired. We will definitely request Nicole’s services next time we are in the area! Thank you!!

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 Stratham 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 523 sitters in Stratham, 86% 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.
