“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.”
“My dogs always love staying at Jorge's house. I know they will receive excellent care and they always have so much fun judging by the videos that he sends to me regularly during their stay. I highly recommend using Jorge for all your Rover needs.”
“Joshua took amazing care of our dog Mya while we were away. From the start, they were super responsive and made sure to accommodate everything we needed. During Mya’s stay, Joshua kept us in the loop with regular updates and cute photos, which really put our minds at ease knowing she was doing well. Plus, when our plans changed last minute, they were totally flexible and made everything stress-free for us. We’ll definitely be reaching out to them again next time we need a sitter!”
“CeCe was awesome! She sent us photos and. Videos during our pets time with her! She loves what she does! Her and my wife are both teachers and really hit it off! We actually booked her again a week later while celebrating our honeymoon. Your pets are in good hands! Book her Now!”
“Our Boston terrier Duke has stayed with Terri twice now. Both times we received pictures and reports that he was fine. Terri is an experienced dog handler and has given us advice about our rambunctious 1 1/2 year old boy which is welcomed. We haven’t had a pup in a long time. She is prompt answering our texts, close to our house and we trust her with our boy Duke. Much gratitude giving us piece of mind when we are out of town.”
“This is my second time booking with Shirley, and another great experience. Always great to communicate and photo updates. I can tell she treats my fur baby as her own. I already have Shirley booked again for my pup to have another stay with her.”
“Sandy & Santosh were amazing. We have two rescues, one dog that is senior special needs and needs daily medications/oral injections and another that is scared of everyone and everything so we usually vet out our sitters pretty well. My scared dog basically became Sandy’s shadow (which is rare) and they kept us updated on health and happiness every day with messages and photos. Super accommodating and kind, thank you so much Sandy & Santosh! We will see you soon”
“Jack loves staying over. Gets plenty of attention, playtime and walks. When we pull up he cant wait to see everyone he is so excited. Lots of communication and pictures when he stays. Favorite sitter.”
“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.”
“Would highly recommend Kristin! She sent a lot of updates and my dogs seemed to be having a great time the entire time they were in her care. Everyone in her family is a dog lover so there was no shortage of attention to go around. Looking forward to using her again in the future!”
“I left my dog with Sarah for 11 days and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and made sure my dog was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such loving hands. Highly recommend!”
“Daniel & Jessica provided a great experience for our Prince. They were very communicative & kept us informed. They were able to make Prince feel comfortable and welcome. We truly appreciate the dedication & care provided. We will be rebooking in the future!”
“Caring and fun boarding adventure for the doggies, with daily photos of them in the updates. Very responsible team Kathy and Dzeni whom we recommended highly.”

“I live in south Florida and drove up to Tampa and needed a sitter for my special needs dog. Found Trevor to take care of him. He took great care of my dog sending updates throughout the day. Chase was really happy when we picked him up. Thanks for taking care of him. ☺️🐶”
“Laura was absolutely phenomenal! She was incredibly nice and easy to work with. She took superb care of my baby boy Zeke. Laura was excellent with communication! She kept me updated with multiple texts which included pictures and/or videos. This gave me peace that Zeke was happy and well cared for! Thanks, Laura! We'll see you again.”
“Benji had an AMAZING time with Shelley & Chris’s family!! 10000/10 would recommend to anyone else looking for a dog sitter, and if we ever need a place for Benji to stay in the future, we would choose Shelley & Chris again! Not only did we receive 5+ pictures of Benji each day having fun and frolicking around, we also got updates of how he was doing, how he was eating, etc. He genuinely seemed very happy and content and seemed to learn a few new things 😆. Thank you so much for being his second family + home while we were away, and we will definitely return should the need come again. Much ❤️ from us and Benji!!”

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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 3,107 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dover. About 92% 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.
