“Jorge was amazing with my dogs. His love and experience for dogs was easy to tell with all of our interactions. He took great care of my dogs and I will be requesting his services again in the future if we ever need it!”
“I had an accident and was forced to board my 3 dogs this week. Rebecca took GREAT care of them! I was able to bring one home (I needed a pup!!!) and booked a 2nd week with her for the other two. :)”
“It was Hunter's longest stay away from me, and I was worried, but Yaima sent me lots of pictures and messages to keep me updated. When I picked him up, he was happy and content - a true testament to Yaima's amazing care! 🙏Thank you so much! 🐾❤️”
“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.”
“Cece is the best! This was Muffin's second stay and he ran right to the door and was so happy and excited to be there. The care they give the pups is superb! I can’t say enough great things! I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Terri did an excellent job with my 2 large breed dogs. Both seemed very happy with her and also came home better behaved. Definitely recommend her for boarding and training!”
“My senior dog and young cat were very well taken care of. Received daily pictures and updates. Was allowed to bring my cat’s kitty condo because that is where she feels safe. She gave my dog’s pills as prescribed. Highly recommend. They had a 9 day stay.”
“Sophia was wonderful with our dog Bella. We truly appreciated the updates, including the videos of Bella playing with Sophia's dog.Sophia is outstanding, and her care provided us with peace of mind throughout our trip.”
“I would definitely have Jariah watch Belle again! She was super flexible, kept me updated throughout the stay, and Belle seemed so relaxed and happy when I picked her up. You could tell she was well cared for and had a great time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
“We had such a great experience booking our cat’s boarding with Morgan! This was our cat’s first time ever boarding, and Morgan was so kind and patient with him, especially since he was super shy and nervous. Morgan was very responsive with us every time we check in to see how he was doing. We will definitely be booking again!”
“My sitter canceled last minute on my way out of town. Claudia took great care of my baby no complications with it being last minute. The older sitter doesn’t have to worry about canceling i delete the number and replace it with Claudia. If I could I would give her 10 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I had a great experience with Cindy. She’s reliable, professional, and genuinely caring toward Blu. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Blu came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Cindy to anyone looking for a trustworthy carer.”
“Once again Estefany excelled in her care for Xena. We're beginning to think our doggie just doesn't want to leave after spending time with Estefany and Layla! She is one of the best sitters we have ever experienced and we will continue to have her care for Xena whenever the need arises.”
“Tabitha was great! Our pup was clearly loved and taken good care of while we were on our 5-day vacation. The updates and photos Tabitha sent were a special touch. Thanks Tabitha! We'll be back!”

“This was our first time leaving our girls since the pandemic started, so we were a bit nervous. Nelly took great care of our two terriers for a few days! She sent updates and pictures throughout their stay as well. I would highly recommend Nelly! We will certainly hire her again.”

Pet 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!!

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,024 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dover. About 90% of Dover sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
