“Samantha and her family were amazing with Strider! She worked to figure out the best way to burn his energy and to keep him happy. As a bonus, she lives in an area any dog would love with places to hike and things to smell. I absolutely recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Our girl , Anne, was treated like family and she had a blast with Rachael’s dog , Kevin! I personally love receiving update and pictures ! We will definitely be sending Anne over for boarding again when we are traveling.”
“Swift, Brian, family were amazing with our two dogs! They sent lots of photos throughout the weekend and responded quickly. We will definitely be using them again and highly recommend!”
“Holly and her family were wonderfully accommodating and helpful with our pet Sylvie. They have a wealth of experience looking after dogs, and really appreciate their individual personalities and needs.Communication was great and I would hve them watch Sylvie again, anytime.”
“I feel so comfortable leaving the dogs with Stephanie. I feel so lucky to have found her and her family. When I pick up the dogs they seem calm and happy. I hope to rebook with Stephanie next time I travel!”
“Tosca took great care of our elderly dog while we visited family for a week. She was a proactive communicator and willing to be flexible when it looked like our travel plans may have been delayed. She was diligent about our dogs medications, and he came back to us calm, relaxed and happy. Its clear Tosca took exceptional care of him.”
About: My love for exotic animals made me a zookeeper 20 years ago, but caring for pets and farm animals is my favorite. Happy to help you! I have a fully flexible schedule. I can be there for you during days, evenings, overnights, and weekends. I have a big sweet dog to keep your pets company in our home, or in yours. It’s OK if your pets would rather no outside furry friends though. I am happy to respect your preferences on crating/gating/free range, special diets/fresh cooking, walk schedule, basic obedience, snuggles, toys, and treats. Dogs of any size and breed, and pets and farm animals of any species will be well-loved in your absence. 💛
“Christine was taking care of our beagle Dexter while we were in the area attending an event. She has a lot of positive energy and is very compassionate and knowledgeable. Great communicator, what's a big plus! Our puppy had separation anxiety, but she engaged and calmed him down. We felt confident leaving Dexter in her house.”
“When we met Ryan for the meet and greet, my dog (who normally barks and is apprehensive when meeting strangers) took to his calm demeanor immediately. Ryan knew from the beginning how to best approach my dog and put me and my husband at ease. Our dog stayed for 2 nights with Ryan (he cuddled right up next to Ryan when we dropped him off!), and I know he was well cared for. Ryan's home and yard are very dog friendly, and the boys went for a hike in the nearby state park! We got text updates while we were away which helped us feel even more comfortable. We will definitely use Ryan again in the future for care for our dog and recommend him without reservation!”
About: Hey all! I have over 17 years experience in the animal industry! I started off walking dogs for my neighbors throughout middle and high school. I worked as a manager at a large dog daycare for 8 years to build my experience. I moved onto dog training these last 7 years training dogs under some of the best trainers in New England. I have 3 dogs of my own. A Labrador retriever, Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherd. In my spare time I am a nature enthusiast who loves enjoying the outdoors with my pups, going on hikes and to the beach in the off season. I am hoping to expand my services to Temple, NH and surrounding towns! I am Pet CPR certified. I am looking forward to providing services such as Day Trains, Boarding, Board and train and puppy foundations! I have reliable transportation specifically equipped with car kennels to ensure safe transport. I love working with dogs to help them become better versions of themselves as well as helping owners in the process! Pet care isn’t just part of my daily routine; it’s my entire lifestyle! As a professional dog trainer, I spend my days working with, exercising and caring for dogs. With over 17 years of experience in animal care, providing a safe, structured and enriching environment comes naturally to me. Caring for animals isn’t just my career; it’s my passion. Your dog’s safety, comfort and well being are my top priorities! My home features a dedicated, climate controlled kennel room with various kennel sizes, comfortable bedding, fresh water, toys, calming television programs and sound machines to create a relaxing environment. Cleanliness is extremely important to me! Kennels are vacuumed and wiped down daily, sanitized between guests with veterinary grade disinfectant and my home is professionally cleaned twice a month. For added peace of mind, my kennel room is equipped with video and audio monitoring, accessible from both my bedside and my phone, allowing me to check on my guests even when I’m out running errands. Outside, dogs enjoy a securely fenced backyard, private trails on my property and summertime fun with pools and sprinklers!

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Winchester 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 Winchester 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 Winchester.
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 Winchester. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Winchester 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.
