Doggy Day Care in Dover

“Kristen was great. We are from PA and needed someone for a class reunion evening. We had booked well in advance but did not have realistic drop off or pickup times. She was very flexible and accommodating. My little guy liked her dogs, and that says a lot. Both she and her husband were friendly and courteous. I will use her again when we are in the area.”

About: I have done drop in and overnight care for family member's pets for many years. I am a life long animal lover and have cats and/or dogs my whole life. I also did some volunteer care at an animal shelter while in college. I am a stay at home mom of three (9, 7, and 5 year olds) kids who also love animals so I have the availability to provide a lot of time and attention. I have a fenced in yard in a beautiful country setting and two playmates for your pup. Robin is 13 year old chocolate lab mix, who we rescued from the roadside. She gave birth to 8 puppies about 2 months later and we were able to find loving homes for them all. We also have Emmett, who is a shepherd/spaniel mix that we adopted as a puppy during covid. He can be shy around new people, but loves to play with any dog he has met.

“Bella loves going to Justin. She gets very excited to get to his home and see him. She has a blast and is always tuckered out the next day.”

“Rikki is absolutely wonderful! She provided such loving and attentive care for our puppy, and we are so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us. It was incredibly important to find someone we could trust with our newly adopted family member, and she exceeded our expectations. We could tell he was happy, safe, and well cared for in her home.”

“We used Laura as our first Rover experience with our puppy. Laura did an amazing job with George! She sent photos and updates multiple times throughout the day. I felt very confident that our puppy was in great hands. I will definitely book with Laura again when we need a sitter! 🐾”

About: I have been a lab parent for 30 years and have trained, walked and had many many dog sleepovers. I love dogs and would love the opportunity to care for yours!

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.

“Communication was flawless. I felt safe knowing that they would be well taken care of. My dogs came home happy after spending a day with Josh and his two precious dogs. Thanks Josh.”

About: I have lots of family with pets as well as having a family dog who I had a big part in raising up. I also have a dog of my own, so I am seasoned in dealing with younger dogs. I love all animals, and so does our dog Luka. Luka is a great buddy for any dog that would stay with me, as he is extremely friendly and loves to play. I am currently working part time (semi-pro basketball), so the majority of my days are pretty open with various workouts in the mornings/afternoons. All of which can be adjusted around any jobs I would have. I always give my pets as much respect as I would a real child, if not more, lol. I will treat any animal under my watch with as much love and care that you would!

About: I’ve had 4 dogs living with me since I was 7 years old. With me moving out of my parents house I have been begging my husband to get another pet. We have a 3 year old cat. I have pet sat for years for friends, family, coworkers ect. I am looking to earn a little extra income. What better way than with slobbery kisses and lots of cuddles. Even if it’s just a walk I’ll make sure your fur babies come back to you, healthy, happy and maybe even a little tired from all the play time ❤️🐾 I would love to chat more! Disclosure: - Prices raised to cover Rover Fees - I have a one year old child who may be around during the care of your pet. If your pet is not friendly with children please let me know ahead of time so I can try to accommodate♥️ I have a very flexible schedule and am able to fit more hours/days if anyone may need. I am home all day. Feel free to reach out with questions I have roughly 2 acres of land and plenty of parks, trails ect. To let your pups explore. If they are known to run away I will make sure they get the same play time outdoors while keeping them safe and secure.
