“Angie was wonderful. We left our pup with her for a long weekend, and he had a great time! He even made a friend, which is a big step for him. Communication was excellent and she accommodated our scheduling requests without any issues. I would highly recommend!”
“She is incredible! Her family is so sweet, and this woman just genuinely loves dogs. I have never met such a passionate and caring person. Will be coming back for play visits and more vacations in the future. 30000/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Donna was wonderful again! She treats penny like one of her own. She sends updated and makes sure she is happy and comfortable. We love having Donna to care for our Penny when we go out of town. I highly, highly recommend her!”
“Very accommodating even to last minute situations. Very attentive with daily updates and pictures. They’re a home away from home for our 3 girls.”
“Christopher was amazing sitter for my Malcolm. He kept me well informed and sent pictures as well. My Malcolm is a pretty energetic baby and Christopher had so much patience with him. Thank You!”
“She’s awesome! Will be booking again if needed 🩷 she sent many pictures and videos, along with messages to reassure us that our girl Jaz was well taken care of. We appreciated her so much.”
“I was nervous as this was the first time I used a dogsitter but Haley was very good at explaining everything. Keeping me up to date, was very sweet and caring with Chilli, who is a spunky, feisty old pup. She was patient and persistent, and was able to give him his meds on schedule and maintain his routine. I definitely recommend her and will use her services next time I'm out of town.”
“Amy and her husband were fabulous! It was only my second time leaving my pup (who is VERY wild and playful) and she was amazing. She sent me plenty of updates, with pictures, too! Would highly recommend Amy and definitely will use her again in the future (if she can stand my puppy again lol). Thank you!!”
“Ania did such an amazing job taking care of our older Pug. He’s slow and has some health issues, and she was incredibly kind and caring with him. She updated us with lots of pictures and provided frequent snuggles. I think he was sad to come home!”
“Rebecca was great! She kept us informed daily while we were on vacation about how Fin was doing. He came back very relaxed and happy. We will definitely be using her again soon!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“You couldn’t ask for better sitters! I received daily (unprompted!) updates including pics. I could tell they were really paying attention because they noted personality traits I had not mentioned, including my puppy’s fascination with lizards!”
“Yaima and her family took good care of my pup. We had a meet and greet before his stay and my pup was immediately comfortable with Yaima. They have a large backyard that is fenced for the dogs to play. Yaima sent pictures to show me that our pup was adjusting well. He even turned belly up to get some good belly rubs. I recommend Yaima for boarding needs.”
“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.”
“Kathryn is always amazing with my pup! She gives me such a sense of peace knowing my dog is safe, happy, and well cared for whenever I’m away. I never have to worry because I know she’s in loving, capable hands. Kathryn is reliable, caring, and provides excellent care every time. I truly appreciate everything she does and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caretaker for your dog.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
It was such a pleasure having Angie watch my pup for the weekend. I got video updates and had full trust that my dog got lots of attention and love. I would absolutely recommend her to watch your pets. Her home was clean and well equipped to care for animals with a fenced yard and lots of space. Will definitely use Angie’s services next time I need it.
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!!

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.
96% of sitters in Dover 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
