“Every time my dog stays with Chris, he’s upset at me for picking him back up 😅. He’s clearly having a great time and is always well taken care of so we’re repeat customers for as long as he’ll have us.”
“Our sweet girl is not used to not being around us and we do not leave her often. Ania was the perfect person to take care of her!! She understood her little quirks and made her feel at home. I honestly think by the time Chloe left she felt like she was part of the family and she was only there for 3 night! I would choose her again anytime I need someone to look after our sweet girl. I can not thank her enough.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing with my dogs, Nayla and Simba! From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Nayla and Simba were both happy, well cared for, and comfortable in her care—it’s clear Amy genuinely loves what she does. She paid attention to all the little details and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would 100% recommend Amy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Brian and his family were everything I wished for in taking care of my Lady for 9 days. It was our first time away from each other. Brian sent pictures every day and I could see how happy Lady was. It was such a relief. We will travel more now that Lady has a “second” home. Thank you so much Brian!”
“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.”
“Lorena and family did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats; Nala and Simba. I know that the cats were shown a lot of love and they were well fed and cared for during our week away. Both cats were very content with their temporary home and it was obvious that they loved Lorena because they wanted to sleep on her bed to be near her! Thank you Lorena, we really appreciate you opening your home to our furry friends!”
“This was Holly and Vader’s first experience with overnight care. They stayed with John & Gemma for 5 days. I was provided daily updates while in John & Gemma’s care. I picked up 2 happy and playful dogs, they seemed to have had a great experience.”
“Truly amazing! Very communicative with prompt responses and lots of pictures and updates. We are thankful to have found this wonderful family to help us with our pups. Thank you! We will always recommend you and use you in the future.”
“Katherine is great. I love how attentive and caring she is to our dog. This was our second time that he stayed with them and we plan on scheduling more visits in the future. I highly recommend!!!”
“This was my second time having Haley watch my pup and I was very happy with her service. Hannah comes home happy and tired. This time she even came back with a festive new bandana.”
“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!”
“Thank you for taking care of Brownie, Angie was prompt in responding to all the queries and updated us every day with photos. Brownie had a good time and enjoyed the walks. Will definitely consider next time”
“Elena was ver accommodating to our sweet girl. She sent us photos/videos and updates of how Nina was doing. Will definitely book her again in the future!”
“My dog April was treated like royalty with Kathryn and her husband. They are great people and truly love and care for animals. They even sent April home with a souvenir. Definitely recommend her!”
“Christelle and Arlen were Lelas’ home away from home. It was the first time we use a sitter and we are very pleased. From the beginning they put my worries at ease, agreed to a meet & greet, and answer all my questions. Got pictures during her stay and after pick up she was happy. Is a peace of mind to leave Lela with Christelle and Arlen knowing they are taking good care of her. Definitely recommend them and will use them again.”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,961 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.
