“Whitney was so understanding and flexible when a large snowstorm impacted travel extending my pet’s stay. Her wonderful care for my pup means so much and let me concentrate on getting home safely. Thank you!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving Ollie with Kira and her family - she was so caring and loving with him from the moment they were introduced. Ollie had a great stay for 3 days, and it was nice getting updates from Kira. Ollie is Happy and tired-all signs of a good stay with Kira!”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“This was our first booking with Alex and it was an outstanding experience. Our mini poodle had the time of her life playing with the other 2 dogs. Alex is a great communicator and takes his responsibility of dog care very seriously. Lovely big fenced back yard that provided lot of safe room to run about. We all look forward to booking with Alex again in the near future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of my boy! He had the best time, made all the furry friends and all of the love! Jess sent me regular updates and photos of him all cuddled up and happy!”
“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”
“Su is the absolute best! We had him care for our 10 year old Husky for 2 weeks and he was so great about updates, walks, food, treats, and play time. We also couldn’t pick him up on the scheduled date and Su was so helpful and flexible to keep him an extra night. We are so grateful and highly recommend Su. We look forward to the future stays!”
“Sarah was great with Baci! Very attentive to details and my care instructions, checked in with photos, and communicated well. She’s a nice person and so are her kids, and I will definitely have her sit for Baci again. Thank you Sarah!”
“I had a great experience with Dana! Communication was excellent throughout the stay. I got regular updates and felt totally at ease knowing Penny was in good hands. It was clear from the photos and messages that she was having a great time. I could tell she was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”
“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”
“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”
“Alyson was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates while watching my cat and it was clear he was having a great time. She asked questions and was super responsive - would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book again!”
“It was Murphy’s second time ever staying away from home, and his first Rover experience so we were nervous about how he would do. Sean was so responsive through the entire process, kind, understanding and flexible with us. He shared updates so we were assured Murphy was doing well, and Murphy had a great time. He seemed comfortable going in, and almost like he was sad his vacation had ended at pickup. He was well exercised and ready for a nap after vacation, just like we were!”
“Emily is the best! Our pup always comes back home a happy girl. In addition to all the love she gives Maple, we trust Emily with pick ups and drop offs. She gives great updates and photos - we are grateful.”
“Jing was excellent. She responded to any message very quickly, sent numerous pictures and most important, took excellent care of Lily. We are so happy she offers dog sitting services. She seems to really enjoy doing it.”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Liliya is wonderful! She has a very clean house, takes only one dog at a time and sends wonderful photos of our dog so we can stay connected! This is our third stay with her and our dog seems very happy at her house. I highly recommend Liliya and we will be going back to her for our next trip!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
We had a great experience with Alex. He cares deeply for the dogs he cares for. Smudge had an amazing time. He’s been snoozing since he’s been home. Alex provided a very welcoming experience during the meet and greet. I felt comfortable very quickly to leave our dog in his care. Will definitely rebook.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dover on Rover is $90.99 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,414 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Dover sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dover landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dover home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dover.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dover sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 MA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
