“Once again, Ania took great care of our dog. Frequent updates/pictures sent every day, she always makes us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. We know he's in good hands, being very well taken care of and having a great time! Thank you again!!”
“Donna was a great sitter. We had set up a meet and greet before booking because we were sending our dog (who is on the younger side) there for the first time and for an extended period of time and wanted to feel comfortable. Donna was very accommodating and very kind and loving towards our pup so we knew we were in good hands. During the stay, Donna sent pictures and updates every day. We could tell our dog had a good time and had been well cared for. We would definitely recommend Donna!”
“Chris was amazing!!! I was nervous but he absolutely answered all my questions. Our meet and greet was warm And Nola took to him and Oreo. Chris sent me messages and picture everyday and an update on how Nola was doing.i will absolutely hire him again”
“Teddy loved his stay with Amy and her dog Lacy. He got lot of pampering and love and was treated just their own dog. I loved receiving all thr pics nd videoa tbroughout Teddy's stay. I would highly rrcommend Amy and would definetely send Teddy back as needed.”
“Brian and his family were absolutely amazing with my dog Kobe! Kobe has some anxiety being away from us and Brian made him feel right at home! We were sent lots of pictures and updates as well. Kobe went on walks and got lots of outside time. I would HIGHLY recommend Brian as he really treats your pets like they are his own. Will definitely be using Brian again!”
“Murphy has never stayed away from us so I was a bit nervous but after the initial meet and greet between Murphy and Skye I knew Murphy was going to be well taken care of and have a blast! Skye sent updates and photos everyday of Murphy and answered any questions that I had. Skye will most definitely be the person Murphy stays with when we go out of town. Murphy came home exhausted from all the fun she had over her weekend stay! Most definitely recommend Skye to anyone who is looking for somewhere for their pup to stay when needed!”
“This booking was great! They accomodated last minute changes very easy. Yoshi seemed relaxed and himself after the boarding which means he was in good hands.”
“Awesome sitter and life saver. I had to do a last minute stay and Haley was able to accommodate my dog and took great care of him. He was very happy and clearly enjoyed his time at her place. Will definitely recommend her and will take my dog back again!! 🐶🐕🐕”
“Matt and Nicole were terrific. They were very easy-going and sent me daily photos of my dog during several different activities throughout the day including swimming laps in their pool. It was almost like a weekend day spa for my nine year-old chocolate lab who needed the exercise. Their home had a very warm animal loving feel to it.”
“Nattalie was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, sent me daily updates and photos, and took great care of my dog. I came home to a happy, calm pup who was clearly well looked after. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Highly recommend! From setting up a meet and greet before we left to sending pictures and updates while we were gone. It was such a relief while we were out of state to know our babies were being loved and taken care of.”
“Once again this was a great place to leave goose for the holiday weekend. With all the fireworks and stuff they kept the dog calm. Goose was very happy to return here.”

“She went above and beyond for my dog . I work early shifts and long hours and I had no one to help me with taking my sick pup to surgery . Angie not only dropped and pick my dog up from surgery but she also administered medication and cared for my dog until I got off . She is lady’s 2nd mom and home .”
“Our dog absolutely loves going to Bibianas! She even gets excited when we mention her name. Bibiana always provides picture and video updates daily to let us know how things are going. Thank you again for taking such great care of our dog!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Chunk said he had a fantastic time. He is a shy individual but was welcome with warmth and comfort from the beginning. I’ve never seen him so happy so willing to go with someone. That said so much right from the beginning. He has allergies and Angie noticed and took care like it was second nature. She treated Chunk like he was her own. Will definitely use Angie again for her special care
Sabrina is the best! Her communication is top tier and she knows how to handle my pups. I have one who is a bit anxious/nervous. She took her time with him and created an environment for him to feel comfortable and loved. I don’t have to worry when I leave my dogs with her. Book her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dover on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,046 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Dover sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dover landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dover 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 Dover.
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.
You and your Dover 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 FL 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.
