“Donna was a wonderful sitter for our penny. At 6 days before our trip, our original sitter had a family emergency and Donna was available to keep penny for the week and it was a fantastic option for us. She treated penny as her own, and sent pictures of our happy pup throughout the week. Penny was happy, well taken care of and safe while we were gone. Thank you Donna! We will definitely use Donna again and recommend her to others!!”
“Christopher was a greater sitter for my puppy Malcolm. This is my second time using him. He always gives great helpful updates and pictures. He is very reliable with following routines and keeping Malcolm safe during his stay. I will surely use Christopher’s services again. I recommend him to everyone.”
“Brian & his family were so nice & pleasant! Our pup seemed to have loved playing with the other dogs while we were away. We received pictures & updates throughout our stay. Thank you!”
“Amy and her husband are so nice and they take such great care of our Diamond, a 12 year old Chihuahua. Diamond is comfortable at their home, she is walked and by the photos sent she seems to be having a great time. (All of us with fur babies like our babies to remember US first LOL!) We trust Amy with our dog and recommend her highly.”
“I can’t thank Rebecca enough for taking such great care of Cosmo! I was nervous about leaving him for such a long period because I’ve never had to do that before, but I knew from the first meet and greet with Rebecca that she was the right choice. Cosmo felt comfortable in her home, and she made sure to give him lots of love. I like that he got to be around other dogs too, so he could have that socialization and fun while I was out of town. Rebecca sent me pictures everyday which eased my nerves and reassured me that Cosmo was in good company! Thank you, Rebecca, for taking such good care of Cosmo ☺️”
“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!”
“Yet another fantastic experience with Happy Tails Pet Care! Elena and her family are a team of loving and caring individuals that gave my 60lbs Husky the love and attention he needed! The daily updates are priceless for the owners who are nervous about leaving their fur-child with someone or those who just want to see how their pooch is doing. Apollo has found his home away from home!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful experience with Penny’s stay! Jacquelyn kept us informed throughout the entire booking and provided regular updates with photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Penny was well cared for, happy, and comfortable. The communication was excellent, and we truly appreciated the attention and care she received. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“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.”
“Robert and his wife are great caretakers. We have a dog with major separation anxiety and they are very aware and accommodating to our dog. Our dog loves going to their home. The home is clean and when we pick up after a day of traveling everything is packed and ready to go. 10 out of 10.”
“Outstanding care from a wonderful, caring and kind family. Matt and Nicole are truly loving people and do such a great job! Communication is excellent and they are so easygoing. ❤️”
“Nicolas and his wife watched our puppy overnight for 10 nights. Obi is around 4 months old and they had to care for his consistent bathroom break needs. I'm sure this helped to indirectly train him to use the bathroom outside! When we got him back, he looked for grass to pee vs our inside floor (thank you!). They also sent several pictures of Obi each day to share with us, and he was able to play with other smaller dogs (which he loves dogs). Obi appeared well, healthy, and happy upon return to us.”
“As always, Katie was amazing! She treats my dog like he’s her own pet, while also sending regular photo and text updates, and being accommodating to minor changes in schedule to make my life easier and less stressful”
“Sarah was really great at updating us on how our dog was doing and sending photos and videos. Our dog felt comfortable there and we can tell she had a happy stay. We will definitely use Sarah’s services again.”
“Angie has been absolutely amazing with our dog, Coco. From the very first visit, Coco felt comfortable and happy with her, and that has continued every time he stays with Angie. Over the past year, we’ve taken Coco to her several times, and she has consistently taken excellent care of him. Coco truly loves Angie and her home—he gets excited every time he visits, which says so much. Recently, we left Coco with Angie for more than a week during a longer trip. Choosing her again was an easy decision. Even with short notice, she was incredibly accommodating and stepped in without hesitation. Angie treated Coco like her own, keeping him happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. Knowing how well Coco was doing gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Angie is kind, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything she did for Coco. She is truly an awesome pet sitter, and we feel very lucky to have found her.”
“Cookie just spent several days and nights with Christelle & Arley. Thank you for taking great care of Cookie. He’s home and seems to have really enjoyed himself with you all these past few days. Thank you again!”
“Jake took care of my dog, Flint, from 2/13/26–2/17/26, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. When he noticed any concerns, he used the troubleshooting steps I had authorized beforehand and handled things independently, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, Jake did everything he could to make Flint feel like part of his family and helped him adjust and stay comfortable. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the pets he watches. I would absolutely trust Jake with Flint again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.”

Angie came highly recommended to me by a family member & I’m so glad I decided to go with Angie. Not only was she able to accommodate my last minute booking request, her communication was top notch. She cared for my boys as if they were her own & kept me in the loop throughout their stay with her. I highly recommend Angie if you need pet 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!!
Terri was wonderful! This was my first time boarding and I was so nervous to leave my furbaby for a week but Terri helped ease my nerves by sending me pics throughout my trip. She took great care of him and her facility was well maintained and setup properly for boarding. I will definitely book with her again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Dover
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dover on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 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 June 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.
