“Svetlana and her family were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Milo! They’re kind, caring, and made him feel completely at home. Milo loved all the cuddles and attention he got — he clearly enjoyed spending time with them. I could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. I’m so grateful to have found such a loving family to look after him. Highly recommend Svetlana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and affectionate sitter!”
“Such a nice young man and family! He sent me updates throughout Remy’s stay at the house and clearly is very passionate in his love of our four-legged friends :). I would happily without hesitation book this sitter again and if I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”
“Lyndsey took incredible care of my golden. She truly loves dogs and has the best in mind for them. She introduced our dog to hers, took them for a hike, let the dogs have the whole home to play for the day. Highly recommended, we planning another visit soon!”
“Yi was fabulous! She took great care of our ragdoll kitten, Pudding. She is incredibly responsive and sends multiple pictures and videos every day. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Paul was excellent. Our little dog has a lot of separation anxiety and he handled her so well. She came home happy. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
“Alex took amazing care of Gretta during her stay. He is incredibly kind, patient and thoughtful. He sent us amazing photos and videos. It's clear he truly loves dogs but also just an incredible human !!! I can't recommend him enough”
“Ashley was terrific. I am a highly anxious dog mommy and I felt that Bertie was in safe, loving, and skilled hands. Ashley’s two dogs couldn’t have been sweeter or more welcoming to our pup, either. Ashley has a great backyard that’s well fenced and she sends lots of pictures and videos. We will definitely be returning for future dog-sitting needs. Thanks, Ashley!”
“My dog Kuma recently stayed with Erin for 4 days and I couldn’t be more happy with the experience. From start to finish, Erin provided exceptional care for my dog, with daily updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was also great to hear that he had ample opportunities for walks and outdoor playtime. I will definitely be returning for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Elliot and Jo were great with this trial stay for our pup, Tony. We were able to schedule a Meet & Greet promptly, and we all agreed to a one night trial stay to ensure that they could meet Tony’s needs and our expectations. We got multiple updates with photos and/or videos and they followed his instructions to a T. We’re glad to have found new, quality sitters to care for our baby when we travel!”
“Phillipa was fantastic and communicative, sending lots of updates throughout my dog’s visit. He came home very happy and seemed to have a great time!”
“Oscar took great care of our dog, Bella! They were very communicative (+ sent lots of photos and videos of our girl having the best time). The first night Bella had some tummy problems, and they took care of her and communicated throughout the day. She was better by day two! I can’t speak highly enough! Will definitely have Oscar watch Bella again soon!”
“Jamie was incredibly sweet and welcoming from the start making sure Cosmo felt comfortable during the meet-and-greet as well as his stay.Her adorable pup Luna played such a big role in helping Cosmo settle in quickly, and before we knew it, he was completely comfortable with their family. Usually Cosmo prefers staying in his crate while boarding, but with Jamie’s family he became so relaxed that he preferred their bed instead, which truly showed how safe and loved he felt there. Jamie also kept us updated regularly, giving us so much peace of mind. This is honestly the fastest I’ve ever seen Cosmo warm up to a family, and we’re definitely looking forward to many more stays. Highly recommend Jamie and her wonderful family for anyone looking for loving care for their furry buddies!”
“Aurora took our dog for his first rover experience. She was very communicative and sent pictures of my happy pup. She eased our fears of leaving him with a new family. We'd love to utilize her again if the need arises!”
“Rachel was fantastic and accommodating! We were stuck in Mexico and without even the slightest hesitation she went above and beyond to help taking care of our pup. Along the way, she sent multiple pictures and updates and we would definitely ask for her help again in the future!”
“Daisy loved her stay with Nancy! She got so many walks and was able to explore new parks and parts of the city. Nancy was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures and updates on how Daisy was doing throughout the stay. Thank you, Nancy!”
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Alex is a fantastic dog sitter! He really focused on my dog's needs and familiarized himself with what would make him comfortable and happy. My dog has some reactivity and he managed it by learning his "tells" and following the "cheat sheet" he asked for. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with their dog(s).

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Dover is $92 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $53 and $116 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,502 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. 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.
