“Fantastic experience! We have always boarded our dog, but Kate came highly recommended from our neighbor. Great communication, updates and photos. Highly recommend and will book again! 5 stars 🌟 !”

“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.”

“⭐️ Very happy with boarding my doodle at Terri’s home. She sent photos and videos throughout the time she took care of Milo. She is knowledgeable with dogs, has a large safe fenced play area and responds quickly to any and all requests. Top notch boarder.”

“I couldn’t ask for the most perfect person to watch my Roman. Rom is a lot to deal with sometimes and requires lots of patience and she was that and more. Bri would send lots of updates and pictures during our time away from Roman and which was much appreciated!! She was very easy to communicate with as she well.”

“I would HIGHLY recommend Megan for your sitting and/or boarding needs 🤍 My husband and I had to go out of town for 6 days and our puppy is only 6 months old. I had left Charli with a sitter from Rover one afternoon, but wanted someone closer to our home and more experience. Megan is it! The anxiety we had of leaving her was quickly diminished by the photos and constant communication Megan provided. Charli was happy and socializing with other dogs, as she had not been exposed to many dogs previously as young as she is. Megan's property is well thought out with plenty of room to run and play also with a separate "house: for the dogs that can stay in crates to sleep. Charli had such a good time I may just pay to leave her for a play date one afternoon! Thank you, Megan and family! 🙏🏼”

“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.”
“Really good experience with Angie, Nala was very happy on the weekend that she spent at her house, we will book with her again for sure. We recommend Angie 100%.”

“Katie was so amazing with our two pups. They are big dogs but she handled them with ease. She kept us updated with pictures and they were clearly very happy to be cuddled and loved on all weekend long! Will definitely use again.”
“Sarah and her family were very friendly and tok great care of my 70 pound Airedale. She sent lots of pictures. They leash walked him as their backyard fence was not yet in, although they are expecting it to installed any day.”

“Elke and Michael are simply the best! I never worry when they are watching my fur baby, Suki! She is a large loving dog - but rather particular about who is considered a friend! The best example as to how good Elke is - is Suki’s total love and acceptance of her and Michael! She considers them part of her pack. She absolutely loves staying with them and is perfectly happy at their house! Animals really are the best judges of character and Suki gives Elke 5+ stars”

“Cindy was fantastic with Chief for the 2 weeks they spent together. She sent us daily updates with photos about how he was getting on and you could tell he was very happy in the environment. Would highly recommend”

“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”

“This was my first time using rover and let me tell you: I had a very positive experience 🫶 Both Josh and his wife watched Bruno for a week and treated Bruno like part of their family. Initially, I was worried about leaving Bruno with another family but on day one after getting updates and photos, I knew he was in the right hands. Bruno even seemed a little sad to be leaving his new friends 🥺 They communicated with me all week and most days I got photos and videos🤍 I truly appreciated them giving Bruno all the love and attention he normally receives at home with us. Bruno was even allowed to sleep with them and hang out on the couch! And I know he loved their backyard and their dog. Thank you thank you to them for keeping my Bruno safe and loved! 🤞🤍 Would book again and would recommend to anyone! 🫂”

“We have an extra baby dog and also in the hands of CECE, they enjoyed their vacation very much and we were happy and relax, thank you very much for giving love to our children dogs and taking care of them so much 🩷🩷”


“I cannot express how pleased I am with Natalie and her family. She welcomed my two fur babies into their home and treated them as their own. My little girls were so well taken care of and treated as part of the family. She also is great at communication and sent me lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Natalie and her family to watch your fur babies.”

“Melanie is the best Dog Sitter I have ever had. She really cares about the safety and comfort of your pet and she shares status updates while you are away. You would be lucky to have her post your animal.”

Dover pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!!

Thank you Angie for taking such good care of our dog while we were away. We were a little nervous, being first time using her services. We did a meet and greet which is great, we loved. Great communications as well. Brady had a wonderful time! We look forward to using her services over again in the future.

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.
