“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“Shaun and his family take great care of our pup Skye, who always comes home happy and tired. I feel extremely confident that Skye is treated as a part of their family.”
“Susan was great with our senior dog! We loved getting the daily updates and could tell our pup received excellent care and his routine was very similar to the one he keeps at our home. Would recommend Susan in a heartbeat!”
About: I am patient and will let your dog sniff around all they want. I am caring and will ensure the path your dog is walking on is safe for their paws. And I am energetic, leaving your dog tired when they come home. I will care for your dog by keeping them on a leash and bringing water for when they get thirsty. With your cat, I will first let them sniff me and warm up to me. They’ll soon cuddle up to me. I am available most days before 9am, at lunchtime (between 12pm and 2pm) and after 5pm. For house visits, I am able to stay either all day or all night and pop during the day for mealtimes/potty breaks. While in your home, I am mindful of your space and will follow your instructions. For boarding visits, I live near a park and can take your pet out 3-4 times a day. Unfortunately while I understand everyone’s needs/customs are different, I do no accept dogs that either use an indoor doggy potty or are not house trained.
“If I could give Chelsea more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the moment I dropped Buffy off, I had complete peace of mind. Chelsea didn’t just take care of my dog, she welcomed her into her family. It was obvious from day one that Buffy was being loved and cared for as if she were their own. The regular photos and videos made an already stressful business trip so much easier, and it was heartwarming to see how attached her daughters became to Buffy (and vice versa!). What truly sets Chelsea apart, though, is how she handled an unexpected travel disaster on my end. My return flight was canceled, and what was supposed to be a two-day stay suddenly became longer. At a time when many people would simply say they couldn’t accommodate the change, Chelsea immediately started helping me find solutions. She offered multiple options, stayed incredibly flexible, and ultimately went above and beyond to make sure Buffy was safe and comfortable. The amount of trust, kindness, and genuine care she showed was something I’ll never forget. Throughout the entire experience, communicating with Chelsea felt less like talking to someone I had just met and more like talking to a close friend or family member who genuinely cared. As a dog parent, I honestly can’t ask for anything more. Chelsea, thank you for taking such wonderful care of Buffy and for helping me through what turned into a very stressful travel situation. I am deeply grateful, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with you again. Buffy is lucky to have met you, and so am I.”
“Jillian and Andrew did a great job watching my dog while I was away for 8 days! They sent pictures almost every day so that I knew he was doing well and getting lots of attention. I would definitely recommend using them.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”
“Kevin and his wife were great; able to take my 2 dogs at short notice . kept me advised how they were doing and flexible to work with my odd schedule. would recommend them to others.”
“Andres was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Lance! From the moment we dropped him off, he made Lance feel right at home in a comfortable, welcoming environment. It was clear Lance got plenty of attention and genuine care, and Andres kept us completely at ease while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!”
“Great experience for our chocolate lab. She was very happy and well taken care of. Had fun with other dogs playing in the snow. It was clear she was in good hands based on the updates we received while on vacation. Loved the report card provided at the end of her stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Vanessa took great care of our Kalo while we were on vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and he looked so happy in all of them! We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Sebastian was a great host for Attie through the holidays! We got updates every day and Sebastian was always super communicative about how she was doing and getting along with the other dogs. Attie loved the outdoor space and she came back to us a happy pup at the end of her stay. We are excited for Attie to stay with Sebastian again the next time we're in the area!”
“Aleja T. Is a great person to watch our dog, it’s a third time we left our pug with her. She provided us with pictures and updates every day. Our dog always looked happy when in Aleja care. Any one who will pick her to taking care of his/her pet will be very satisfy. Thank you Aleja! You are the best!”
“Sabita has just been the best! I have used Rover before and had my cat boarded by another member. Sabita has proven to be way more communicative and given way more personalized care and attention to my little buddy. She sent multiple pictures, twice a day, showing him eatting, playing and relaxing: all with much content on his face. I was worried he may not want to come home. She followed all his medication and food instruction to the letter and made sure she showered him in attention. He had his own room and was treated like a true guest in her home. I highly advise using Sabita for all your cat boarding needs. She is also a lot more reasonably priced then some members on this app, without sacrificing the experience or service. I will definitely be reaching out for her services for my future needs!”
“Elizabeth was great with my dog and provided me with daily updates! This was my first experience with Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Pia’s stay with Charles was great. He is an awesome person who truly loves the pets he cares for. He shared pictures time to time keeping us informed of Pia’s well being. I am grateful to have met Charles and highly recommend him. We are definitely returning next time Pia needs a break from us 😊”
“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”
“Audrey was AMAZING! She sent photo and video updates of my dog. She took excellent care of him. I highly recommend Audrey. I’ll definitely have her watch my dog again! She’s the best!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Samantha was amazing! Best Rover we’ve had yet. She sent us multiple pictures and updates every day. We have a St Bernard who can’t stay in the hot weather too long and she made sure to keep him in AC with lots of water. We also had an unexpected issue at the end of our trip, and she was able to take on our dog for two extra days which was a lifesaver. She even gave us tips for our dog after regarding some bumps on his body which was kind and helpful. We can’t wait to use her again!
Mylene was awesome with our dog! She kept us updated with lots of pictures, which made us feel so much better while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy and well taken care of. We’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!
We left our energetic working lab with Lana for a week, and once again, she reminded us why we feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She goes to such efforts to keep him stimulated and tired out by the end of the day but also keeping him rested and safe. She always sends videos and photos, and talks about him in a way that we know he is being snuggled and well cared for. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!
Sebastian is a wonderful pet sitter and groomer. He takes such great care of our fur babies! His love of all dogs is obvious and since he appreciates being a dog dad, he knows leaving your dog behind is hard so he thoughtfully sends daily photos and comments to us while we are away. Thank you Sebastian we’ll see you again!
Rocky has stayed with Mikayla before and so we were happy she was available over the holidays. She sent us regular updates, pictures and videos and when Rocky fell sick, kept us informed and took him to our vet so that he was taken care of- I cannot express how appreciative we are - she took care of him as if he were her own.
Christina has taken care of our dogs several times now and always does a great job. Our dogs are always excited to arrive at her house. She sends lots of photos and gives updates often. She is very responsive to messages. Over the holidays she gives them little gifts and NYE pup cups. Originally, we chose Christina because she has experience taking care of dogs post-op and one of our dogs had a recent ACL surgery. She took great care of him. It was clear she knew what she was doing. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs in general. It’s worth mentioning that once we needed an extra night at the last minute due to a flight cancellation and she was very kind and accommodating. We highly recommend Christina.
David was amazing in taking care of our pup while we were gone. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process. He was consistently giving updates which was was very calming as this was my first time being away from my pup. Would highly recommend David and will definitely be using his services again!

There are 9,401 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dover. About 89% 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.

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 NJ 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.
