“Skye is the absolute best. She genuinely cares for the animals she watches. We have been using her services for 3 years and we are totally satisfied with how well she takes care of our critters. Thank you, Skye, for being there and available at a moment's notice.”
“I had a great experience with Rebecca. She was very thorough in explaining her process and showing me exactly where my dog would be kept. You could immediately tell she truly cares about dogs and is a genuine dog lover. I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommend!”
“This is the first time I have used a dog sitter for my 12 year old dog who is wary of strangers. She seemed perfectly relaxed at doggy day care for 3 hours and came out happily wagging her tail when Violeger brought her out to my car. I plan to use her again next month when I will be out of town for 4 days.”
“So awesome! Dominique communicates well. Send pictures, very understanding! And interacts with my dog. He love her so much. Try’s to jump and hug her every time he sees her and her husband. The best part is he comes home tried!!! Best sitter you could ask for. BOOK WITH HER!”
“My yellow lab Mazie had her 1st Rover daycare experience with Elke and it was a spectacular day for Mazie! Elke is a true dog lover and sent me a video and pictures of Mazie's great day enjoying walks, their beautiful fenced in yard, and meeting other friends! I will positively rebook Elke for Mazie's next opportunity and highly recommend her as she will do a great job taking care of your dog!”
“Katherine did an awesome job watching Alfie for a full day. She took some great photos and kept me updated throughout the day. I’ll definitely use her in the future, highly recommend!”
“Just wonderful! Ivy will literally play fetch until she croaks and unfortunately some people find it annoying when she keeps tossing her toys at them, but Stephanie said her kids absolutely loved playing fetch with her 🩷 when I picked her up, she fell asleep in the car on our 15 minute drive home which means she got all of her energy out which I’m thankful for! Will schedule again in the future 🥰”

About: Hello all! I currently work from home and have all the time to pay close attention to the care of your beloved family member. I grew up in a show dog home and to this day I still help my family at dog shows around the state. I used to be a veterinary technician so I can care for pets who are on a strict routine. I play very close attention to routines, and give a bunch of pets and love. From puppies to seniors or docile to rambunctious. I can handle them all. Your beloved family member will be in good hands with me. I also know how to do a bit of grooming. Say if you needed bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning or all of the above. I would love to care for your lovely family member. Thank you so very much for your consideration. I work full time remote from the comfort of my own home. I am very thankful to be able to have as much time as I can with my own personal pets and those of others. Animals are my passion. I studied animal science/zoology in the university of Florida and was a veterinary technician for 5 years. I strive to give every animal the amount of love I give my own.
“Bailey enjoyed her stay with Tabitha. Tabitha accepted a last minute request, was pleasant, friendly, and helpful. She was very accommodating with our request for a late evening pickup. We were 15 minutes later than expected and she was fine with it. She has an amazing huge property that is secluded. She has two fenced areas available for outdoor time. I would bring my dog to Tabitha again and would recommend her. Thanks!”
“J'akeecia was great with leidy. Sent pics and answered right away! Leidy had a good time playing with her dog and when we got home she went right to bed after her walk. 10/10 would recommend! Ill definitely keep her for next time we need a sitter!”

“Megan is an amazing caregiver! She provided a safe, fun environment, and my dog was clearly excited to see her every day. Megan has a lovely home and a sweet and friendly family. She was also endlessly flexible and accommodating to my weird schedule. I would absolutely go to her again anytime I have the dog with me in the area. Thank you, Megan!”

She was very kind, communicative, and sent us several photo updates throughout the day. Cookie enjoyed walks, spent time with Cayenne, and came home happy and relaxed. We would absolutely trust Cassandra with Cookie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you so much!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Dover is $20 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $37 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,292 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dover commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 2,292 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of FL. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
