“Rackeem was the best! From his knowledge and expertise in handling dogs to his professionalism and consistent photos/updates. Thank you so much for watching my baby for the weekend. I will definitely be booking with you again. Marley seemed to really love his stay and made a new friend!”
“Mike B was amazing with our baby. Sent lots of pictures, kept us up to date with how he was doing. He looked so happy in the pictures. We were very comfortable knowing our fur baby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike for your fur baby care.”
“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”
“I really appreciate Kara boarding my pups at the last minute for the holidays. Kara took really good care of my pups. Kara kept me updated with lots of pics to keep me updated with what was going on in their day. The best part they provided transportation to and from my home.”
About: I am a proud pup and kitty parent. I have been taking care of pets professionally sine 2005. I provide daily dog walking, doggie boarding and kitty pet sitting services in the Milton area. Fabulous references to attest to my quality care. Contact me for a free consult. I look forward to adding you to the Animal Lovers family! I accept dogs that are friendly to all dogs and humans. No aggressive behaviors. I also can only accept potty trained dogs. I can administer medications and only work outside the home part-time so can easily provide potty breaks and walks every 4 hours. My dog Benny is very friendly and loves doggie company! I am available for daily dog walking Monday thru Friday and petsitting 7 days per week. I am available for boarding as schedule permits as I only take 1 dog, dog family, at a time. I have a home in Milton with a 6 foot privacy fence. I have 1 pup, a Yorkie poo who is used to welcoming fun pup friends. I am never out of my home more than 4 hours when I have pup boarders. Your pup(s) is my priority and treated like a member of my family.
About: My name is Taryn and I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses, fish, chickens, and small snakes. I have two young adult daughters that live at home and share the same passion as I do. I do have a 7yr old mix of my own that enjoys playing with others. If your dog happens to not be dog friendly, no worries; I provide in home dog care, drop in visits and dog walks! My home is clean, quiet, and pet proof. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play. We even have trails nearby where we can go on fun adventures! Pets will have free roam of the house so they don’t feel left out, after all they are apart of the family. Your pet(s) will never be alone or feel scared with me as their sitter. I work full time during the week. But I’m available weeknights for drop-ins, walks, and daycare. I’m available Fri-Sunday for the above as well as in home and in my home boarding. I have a large yard and a friendly dog for your pup to play with. If needed, I also have a crate. I don’t like crating my dog so prefer not to crate yours unless instructed by you for specific reasons. Of course they’ll be let out often to use the bathroom and have unlimited access to water. In your home, your pet will be let out when needed/scheduled if they have one, played with, and loved on. No matter where we are, my goal is to make your pet feel safe.
“Absolutely professional , greeted us with a smile , on tine upon drop off and pick up . Sent photos to assure my pet was safe and happy . Titus did not want to live Lananda when I came to pick up . 😊😀”
“Alyssa, Bruce (her dog) and her home was a perfect match for our 2 dogs, Lola (4 yr old 55 lb) and Tucker (2 yr old 25 lb recently adopted). The combination of Alyssa's genuine caring, responsible, dog loving, positive and communicative personality, along with Bruce as a playmate, and her dog friendly home with large fenced yard, Lola and Tucker were comfortable, happy and entertained. We felt confident our dogs were in a good hands. We used her for 5 nights and would use her services again as well as recommend her. We drove 50 min for her services and felt worth the distance.”
“Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!”
“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”
“Gina is wonderful! She sent us frequent videos and pictures to keep us posted and we knew our dog was having a good time there. Fifi was so well loved and taken care of during her second time away from us. Fifi definitely enjoyed her stay with Gina and her husband! We will keep using this service in the future.”
“I had to go to a conference. Elizabeth took excellent care of Shelby. She provided pictures and updates while I was gone. Elizabeth was also flexible with the pick up time when my flights were delayed, which caused me to get home much later than expected.”
“Cynthia was great with my 1 1/2 year old Sheltie. She allowed us to meet her and her pup a couple of weeks before our vacation, to make sure we all were comfortable with each other. Drop off day was hard for us since our Sheltie is only 1.5 year’s old and a rescue, we didn’t want to stress her out too much. Cynthia has lots of experience with rescues and was quick to pick up on her needs. During the vacation she sent us many videos and pictures, which helped a great deal. On pick up day she sent us home with homemade treats, bully stick, and a freshly laundered dog bed. I will definitely use Rover and Cynthia again!!!!”
“Abigail and her family were great! She was very accommodating and I was able to book with her last minute. I received pictures and videos of Kash while I was gone. Which put me at ease because this was my first time booking with rover. Thank you Abigail for making my first experience the best!!”
“I'd give more than five stars if I could. Rachael looked after my two cats for a long weekend. One is very shy and timid in new places, and the other is needy and cuddly but can sometimes decide she'd rather hiss at you instead. Both were cared for with patience and understanding, and with more time I think they'd probably decide to stay there permanently. Thanks Rachael for being so accommodating!”
“Jeren was absolutely incredible! I had to make several changes within a few days before our booking and she was so quick to respond and accommodate. Jeren constantly kept us updated with pictures and videos of our baby throughout his visit. We are so grateful and will definitely be booking again!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Dover is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
We had several plan changes leading up to Poe's stay due to weather. Tasha was completely flexible and super nice about it. She sent pics and updates during his stay and made us feel like he was being well cared for and possibly even a bit spoiled. 😉 We will absolutely be booking with Tasha in the future!
Kahjae was absolutely phenomenal! He responded quickly to messages and even agreed to do a meet and greet with his pups and mine before we confirmed the booking. Kahjae was very kind and wanted the best for his furry guests. He kept us updated with how our dog was doing and kept us in the loop. Highly recommend him!
Abigail and her family were great! She was very accommodating and I was able to book with her last minute. I received pictures and videos of Kash while I was gone. Which put me at ease because this was my first time booking with rover. Thank you Abigail for making my first experience the best!!

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 DE 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.
