“Simply The BEST!! We just recently moved to Florida from Utah and it has been a big change for our whole family - Lola included! Shortly after settling into her new home; we needed to go out of town and needed to find someone to take care of her. I was so nervous leaving her but no way could I have found someone better! Vely and her family of four legged furries made Lola feel right at home! Vely reminds me (and probably Lola) of my daughter who lives in Utah and who used to be Lola's care taker any time I went out of town. I am SO thankful for people like Vely --- TRUE DOG LOVER! Thank you Vely! We will see you again soon, I am sure!”
“Sophia did a great job watching over Kali. She sent us photos and videos throughout Kali's stay, and even took her out running and to play! Will book with Sophia again in the future.”
“First time sitting with them and it went amazing! Bashful seemed to love it so much and it was supposed to just be a cheaper option than my normal sitter but i will most likely be doing the switch and using them from now on!!”
“Katherine and her family were wonderful with our dog, Simon. We got daily updates and photos of him having a great time, so we never had to worry how he was doing. Simon enjoyed his vacation as much as we did!”
“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!”
“I had an amazing experience with this pet sitter! They took such great care of my pet and treated them like family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my pet was happy, comfortable, and well loved throughout their stay. They were professional, reliable, kind, and attentive to every detail. I truly appreciated the extra care and genuine love they showed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care Of Prince!”
“ms. karél was nothing less of amazing! she made sure my miso was walked every day, fed twice a day, and out of the florida heat! she even washed him without me asking 🥹 i will definitely be booking with her to board in the very near future as well as doggie daycare playdates !”
“Susan and her daughter gave so much love to my 2 pups! They definitely had fun playing with her extended crew and have come home exhausted! Susan is great with all kinds of dogs and I will be happy to leave mine with her again!”
“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.”
“Apasara and her son took such great care of our Nahla. They treated her just like she was their own and spoiled her rotten. When we went to pick her up she didn't even want to leave. I highly recommend this home away from home for your dog. We will be using them again in September for sure”
“Cindy & Santosh are the best, they love our dogs like they are their own. My senior dog requires a lot of care, attention, and medications & they make sure he is all taken care of and his special needs are cared for. My other dog (closely bonded chihuahua) generally doesn’t like people but to my surprise she follows Cindy around the house just like she does with me! I don’t feel too bad leaving her knowing she’s still happily claiming another human!”
“1st time leaving our dogs and we couldn’t have picked a better place to board our dogs. We were worried about our older dog who doesn’t get along with all dogs and gets extremely anxious with change but Patricia knew how to properly attend to his needs. Plus, they constantly sent us updates (pictures and videos) even through the holidays which we appreciated and helped us feel at ease. We definitely will book again with Patricia.”
“The host id an amazing job with Okoye. Big back yard. Location was easy to get to. Sent pics and updates to let me know how my guy was doing. I would recommend her again and again.”
“Christopher is calm, caring and patient. Thank you for making sure our boys were safe and happy while we were out. It truly means a lot to not worry about them when having to leave home. Thank you!”
“This was Maggie’s second time staying with Shelley and Chris and it was great the second time around too! Shelley is great with communication and sending updates and photos. Maggie was taken great care of and had plenty of walks and cuddles and play time. I would highly recommend trusting your pet with Shelley and Chris!! I was able to relax all weekend knowing she was in good hands.”
“Shirley was great! This was my first using rover for boarding, so I was nervous but Shirley made sure to communicate with me regularly and send photo and video updates. She also responded so quickly if I ever messaged her. I felt reassured that my fur baby was well taken care of and loved on in her home. I can tell that Khloe had a great time with Shirley. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
