“My dog Beau had a great time staying with Karen. She has an awesome setup in her yard to allow high-energy dogs like mine to run and play. It’s clear she has a lot of experience caring for animals and that gave me peace of mind while I was away!”
“Michelle did an excellent job. She kept me up to date with photos and messages for the 10+ days she was taking care of my dog. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her. Would definitely use her again!”
“Katie was great with our lab Oscar! We went away for a long weekend and she treated him like her own. It was wonderful knowing he was in great hands and having a good time.”
“Nicholas replied quickly, sent great pics and made our pup feel at home for his weekend out. Chris "went the extra mile" in several ways to ensure our pup had tons of fun! We will for sure use him again when in the area”
“Beth was a great caregiver! I feel fortunate to have had a person who knew what my dog needed for exercise and care. Beth’s attitude was laid back and she had a great house and yard for my dog. Her dog was very laid back too.”
“Jeanne was great. We were away for almost two weeks. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures of Roxy playing. It was very comforting to see she was enjoying herself!”
“Noreen is the absolute best! She took such great care of our large dog while we were away, sending pictures and updates which kept the family happy while we missed our boy. Not only was she incredibly great to our boy and us and a great communicator, but she also showed great patience for me and was incredibly flexible. We were so lucky to have found her!”
“Julia was amazing with our puppy and went above and beyond to take care of him as well as to keep us up to date with how everything was going, would highly recommend her to anyone”

About: I'm an animal lover and have grown up with all types of animals. I have been trusted taking care of neighbors, friends, and families pets for many years. My sister is a veterinarian so I often get the pet questions. I will go above and beyond for your pet. I work from home Monday and Tuesday so I am free to go for walks and drop by your house most of the time these days. I am in the office Wednesday through Friday and will have less time but still available. Weekends are free unless I'm away. I live on an acre of land. It is not a fully fenced yard but it is set back in a small, quiet neighborhood on a dead end road. I have an indoor cat.
“Absolutely amazing! She took care of both of my dogs. One has special needs (deaf and blind) and she was incredibly understanding by and accommodating to his every need. Even while taking care of my high maintenance boy she also made sure my other dog (lab mix) got plenty of attention and exercise! She has a great yard for the pups and even set up a gated area in her home for my little blind guy to keep him safe from running into things or getting lost. Her whole family helped to make sure both my pups received plenty of attention and care! If you have any concerns about having some one sit your pup she is the person to go to!”
“Rebecca was amazing! She allowed us to settle our dogs in and that’s when I knew they would be happy and cared for like we do. She sent us regular updates (video and photo) we felt very comfortable. It was our dogs first night outside of our home and she made it stress free, would highly recommend Rebecca and we would definitely reach out again.”
“Kelsey was very accommodating of my dog Nemo, who isn't always a fan of other dogs, so she made sure he was the only dog staying with her at the time! She was very communicative as well and sent many photos, which was much appreciated. I definitely recommend Kelsey to care for your pets while you are away!”
“James and his family were very gracious and flexible. We were initially a bit reticent because our Wally can sometimes be inpatient with young children. James went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. It sounds like Wally had a grand time and fit in well. Wally was very relaxed when we picked him up. We hope that we can work with James and family in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Leaving Josie with Wendy and her family takes away any guilt I might have about leaving Josie behind when I travel, because it’s just as much a vacation for her as me! They are absolutely wonderful with her and I trust their care. I feel so fortunate to have found Wendy on Rover!
Evan is my go-to doggy daycare / overnight sitter in town! He and his girlfriend are so good with my house hippo. She mostly just snoozes while he works from home, which is her absolute ideal scenario. They also keep me posted with great photo updates and check in if there's an incoming storm or any other concerns. Highly recommend!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Veronica and Nathan. This was the first time I had ever left Phoebe for an extended period, and I was understandably a bit apprehensive. From the very beginning, Veronica and Nathan put me completely at ease. Phoebe took to them immediately, which speaks volumes, and she was also wonderfully comfortable with their sweet dog, Ruby. It was clear that she felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Veronica sent frequent updates, photos, and messages, and I never once had to worry about how Phoebe was doing. Their warmth, attentiveness, and obvious love for dogs made this such a positive experience — for both Phoebe and me. I would trust them again in a heartbeat and feel incredibly grateful to have found such thoughtful, caring sitters. Highly, highly recommend.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dover on Rover is $64.91 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 .

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.
92% 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 NH 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.
