About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, now only working part time. I am available for your pet care needs early morning, early afternoon, & evenings. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
“Todd is highly responsible and provided excellent care for my dog, offering regular updates and pictures, and demonstrating prompt responsiveness in communication. Definitely, I recommend him to other pet owners.”
“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.”
“Maisha provides exceptional care for dogs. My dog, Asia, absolutely loves her, and I always feel confident knowing that Asia is in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment when she is with Maisha. Her genuine care, attention, and dedication give me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Maisha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog caregiver.”
“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 😊”
“Jessica was great! Our flight was delayed for six hours last night, due to Hurricane Erin, we couldn’t pick up our dog as scheduled, she extended his stay in a heartbeat. There were several dogs in her house, including two of her own, she was very organized and took great care of my dog, as well as all other dogs. My dog came home happy by socializing with his pups. I will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”
“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!”
“Amy was EXCELLENT with our golden doodle Abby while we were away. Super responsive before and during her stay and easy to communicate with. Also very flexible with scheduling and pickup/drop off times. We fully trusted Amy and her family while we were on vacation and knew she was in good care. Amy sent tons of photos and has a fully fenced in yard which Abby loved. Definitely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“Hollie and her husband cared for Rainey like their own. They kept to her routine, gave her medicines when needed, and made sure Rainey got plenty of exercise and playtime. They sent many updates every day. I was very comfortable leaving Rainey with them for the first time (for two weeks), she warmed up to them very quickly. Thank you both!”
“Desi was amazing in communicating and sending photos and videos to keep us updated!! His place is a true playground for dogs. I recommend for anyone who wants to keep their dog busy!”
“So happy we chose Chelsea to watch our pup while we were away for a week! We received pictures and videos and she updated us throughout the week with how our dog was doing. Riley (our dog) went on walks, played outside, and even attended a birthday party! It looks like she had a blast. Riley was well taken care of and came home very happy. We are so thankful we found a family for Riley to visit for the times we need to go away without a pup. Thank you so much! You won't regret booking with Chelsea! Highly recommend!”
“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)!”

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.

There are 9,442 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dover. About 88% 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 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.
