“We left our Cooper (very last minute!) with Jennifer these past 3 days, and felt as if we left him with Family! Jennifer was so attentive to Cooper and every few hours she sent us pictures of him. It was truly a most wonderful experience, and Jennifer was a loving, caring and thoughtful host! So much gratitude to her and her beautiful family!!”
“Tombstone had a wonderful time boarding with Diamond! He was happily tired after his time there. Diamond was great with sending pictures and updates. Will definitely rebook!”
“Gary provides truly great services. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet. He is great with our dogs and they are truly a handful. Gary also communicates well at all times. He keeps us informed and responds to questions timely. He sent pictures of the dogs all during the stay. Our dogs had a great time with Gary. Again I highly recommend his services.”
“Caroline and her husband are pawfect dogsitters. They take good care of my dog. It's her 4th time with them. She knows them and is comfortable at their home. It put me at peace and I can trust them with my dog.”
“Jaclyn and Eric were great. They run a well-oiled operation and our dog was very happy there. Plenty of play time and relaxing as well. Great communication and we would definitely board our dog there again. Thank you.”
About: I’ve taken care of a family dog Chihuahua for the past 8 years. I enjoy taking her on walks and giving her all the attention she deserves! I currently am on a job rotation in Maine. I am unable to take the step to caring for a dog full time, but I’d love to fill the void with weekly care! I care for a dog like I’d care for a family member. It’s important for me to create a comfortable environment for the dog to hang around in
About: I love to make sure your babies are happy, safe and comfortable so that you can enjoy your time away without worry. I’m a teacher/social worker by trade, so I’m patient, kind and caring. Special needs or requests are not an issue. My consistent communication and caring for your pets as my own is what makes me your best choice! I’m a social worker, so I’m off on weekends routinely, which coincides with families wanting time away. Occasionally available weeknights for walks or drop ins. Weekends are more flexible, and I’m usually more available. I generally prefer boarding in my home and my routine is planned around your babies. Their needs are my priority! Happy to provide care in my home for dogs on weekends. Walking trails and small yard. Other dogs are plentiful here, but-I will always keep your dog leashed at all times. I’m not against an occasional pup cup trip but have also respected meat-based, gluten free and hypoallergenic diets as well. Only one dog (family) at a time.
“Katie was great with drop off and pickup. She administered Clover’s meds and was quick to get back to me when I communicated with her. She was also very flexible with my late pickup when plans changed, and I really appreciate that.”
“Courtney was so great to communicate with, very respon6and punctual. Definitely will call again any time we need a sitter. She is so great with our dogs and keeps us updated as we are away.”
“Katelyn is excellentI Highly recommend. This was our first experience using Rover and it could not have gone better. She took excellent care of our two lab pups. Communication was great sending updates and pictures throughout their stay with Katelyn.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Krystyna & Sara G. were absolutely amazing with my mini Goldendoodle, Hazel! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, including updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Hazel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Krystyna and Sara treated her like part of their family, giving her plenty of attention, affection, and care. They went above and beyond to make sure all of her needs were met and that she felt comfortable and loved. I would highly recommend Krystyna & Sara G. to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Hazel—I will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️”
“Becky and Bill are amazing! Our pooch Barley stayed with them for a week and you could tell he was loved and cared for. Becky sent regular updates and even gave Barley a new nick name "Lion guy" :) Barley also got great socialization with the other pups. We will definitely be calling Becky and Bob again for our next trip out of town”
“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”
“Very welcoming and felt extremely comfortable leaving my Labrador here for a trial run before the big vacation. Cassidy, THANK YOU. Charley looks forward to seeing you again in August!”
“Felicia provided great care for Charlie. He stayed with her family for almost a week. I was updated with photos and texts on how he was doing. I would highly recommend Felicia.”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with Nash! I can’t wait to use her services again! Nash went on plenty of walks her property is a dogs heaven. She sent so many pictures and updates! Truly the best possible experience!”

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.

There are 390 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dover. About 91% 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.

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 NH 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.
