About: We love animals! We especially love caring for dogs, after our beloved golden retriever passed away 12/2024. My two children (14 and 10) and I will be loving on your pets. I own my businesses and work from home! Completely flexible schedule with plenty of time for walks and play. We’d love to watch your pet. We have a comfortable, pet-friendly home in a very safe neighborhood, just two blocks from a park with plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. Our yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be supervised and leashed outside. We do have one cat, so we’re only able to host pets who have experience with cats and are comfortable and safe around them.
“Willow goes the extra mile & takes wonderful care of my dogs. Super grateful I found her for daycare while I work my long shifts. She is fast to respond & will send photos whenever.”
“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”
“Shasta and her family are very loving and caring, we truly trust her completely. Our dog Gus gets so excited about having a stay it make leaving him a boy easier knowing he just runs right into the house out of excitement!”
“Took excellent care of my high energy puppy, provided lots of pictures and videos of him happily playing in the yard, prompt and communicative. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my kiddo for the weekend”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover having a furry friend by my side ever since I was in middle school through high school. During that time, I have learned a lot about specific responsibilities to ensure our pets are well taken care of and receives the continuous love and support they need. Having become a corgi mom myself recently, I continue to gain valuable experience as it becomes ever so rewarding to meet our beloved pets unique needs and personality. They are just as valuable as us human beings. You can ensure your pet's health and support is met and maintained if you decide to choose me to take care of your loved one. I’m available for daycare and short stays. I mostly stay at home with my dog, so I can provide full-day care and attention to your dog. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can roam and play freely, providing them with plenty of space to get exercise and explore in a safe environment. The yard is securely fenced, so I can let dogs enjoy some outdoor time without worrying about them running off. Additionally, I'm always happy to take dogs out for potty breaks as needed throughout the day. I make sure to stick to their regular schedule to keep them comfortable and stress-free
About: I have two dogs ages 5 & 6, I trained both of them when they were puppies. Brewer and goose love other dogs but can also be kept separate if needed. I’ve taken care of family pets since I was young and enjoy playing with animals. I currently home full time with my two children. We pop out for go to classes in the evening but are usually home Monday -Friday. We live in 6 acres of partial fenced yard. Lots of room to play and throw ball. We do have an older cat that keeps to herself. Would prefer a dog that doesn’t want to chase cats.
“Frankie had a great time playing all day with Dilly, Dana and Stuart's dog. I could just feel how much they truly love dogs. Dana sent me a picture and update during the day - so reassuring.I would highly recommend their services.”
“I have a senior dog who’s also a little anxious, so it can be hard to find someone I feel comfortable leaving him with. Benjamin and Chase were so wonderful with him! They were super patient and caring, and I could tell that he felt comfortable around them. I really appreciated how thoughtful and attentive they were. I highly recommend them as pet sitters and I’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“She was able to take care of my pups short notice. She provided lots of pics. I am traveling and my pups were very nervous about everything. They handled it very well and I'm sure Maggie made it easy!”
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”
About: Everyone needs an aunt nearby to check on their dog or care for their dog when you're away. I will spoil your pup with love and attention like I do with my German Shorthair Pointer! I work from home and have the flexibility to take your pup for a walk or stop by for a quick belly rub and potty break. And, of course, a little playtime! I love all breeds and sizes and respect each dog’s individual personality and needs. I can bring my friendly dog, Oscar, along for some play and socializing or come solo to give all my attention to yours! My goal is to help you worry less about your dog while your away from home to give your dog what they need. I work full time from home. My 1/3 acre lot is wonderful for active dogs like our GSP Oscar. Pups who prefer to lounge and snuggle have a spot in my office on the bed next to my desk. Oscar loves dogs of all sizes and so do I! Whether you need daycare or someone to love your pup while you’re away overnight, my lifestyle and home is ideal! I have a 1/3 acre fully fenced yard with lots of room to run! I allow the dogs on the couch and the bed in my office. Oscar is fully vaccinated and takes monthly Simparica. I regularly pick up poop in the yard. My neighborhood is quiet and safe. I am skilled at walking two big dogs at the same time and often do during my lunch break.
“Scott was extremely kind and attentive to Bea’s care. There were a good few dogs that came in and out while she was there for the week and she came home exhausted and happy. Thanks Scott.”
“Alexi was the perfect sitter for our puppy, Maple. She was incredibly flexible with us and our timing and made us feel at ease leaving her for a full day while we skied. She sent photos throughout the day showing us how much fun Maple was having which we loved. Maple slept from the moment we picked her up through the morning - she was exhausted after playing with Huck and Finn in their amazing enclosed yard! We'll definitely be using Alexi again!”
“Adnan really came thru for us. He was quick to respond to our last minute request for daycare on a Saturday. As soon as I met Adnan I felt comfortable leaving our girl in his care. We got some great picture updates and couldn’t be happier.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,461 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dover commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 1,461 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of OR. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 OR 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
