Dog Boarding in Dover

“We suddenly needed a dog sitter because taking him with us on our camping trip wasn't working out. She agreed to watch lunchbox very last minute which was huge! She was great at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures!”

Ashlea T.

“Watson always has the best time with Lauren and Doug. He feels safe and secure, is extremely well cared for and can just be his little lazy 14-year-old self. I book with them as often as I possibly can!!”

Kathy G.

“Kevin and his family are so nice and friendly! They took exceptional care of our 2 dogs. They sent daily videos and pictures which made us feel less guilt of leaving them behind. They have a nice fenced in yard and Kevin worked remote some days so they didn’t feel alone. I HIGHLY recommend Kevin for your future pet needs.”

Ronda M.

“Holly was amazing with my girl ...she sent so many updates / pictures& hand fed my dog when she was nervous. Icing on top was that my dog was able to play with her dog who was just as amazing. 1000% recommend Holly to watch your dog.”

Jolie P.

“Judith & George were excellent sitters. They sent photos and updates daily. When we met them we felt comfortable and knew Peppy would get lots of attention. He was well cared for and seemed “at home” at their house. We would definitely recommend them and use them again when in their area.”

Kathie B.

“We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for our dog! From the moment we left town, we knew our Estie was in the best hands. Not only was she well-fed and cared for, but she was truly treated like a princess. 🐾👑 Lisa sent regular updates, including photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was happy, relaxed, and enjoying herself. Lisa has a big heart and did an excellent job with our dog. We’re beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again. Thank you for everything! Lisa, once again, we are delighted to have found you! <3”

Debora M.

“As always, Alyssa and her family treat our little April like a princess!!! So accommodating and welcoming! We're afraid she won't want to come home! Lol”

Elaine G.

“Sowmya and her family are super nice. They took good care of my dog and walk him twice a day. She shared bunch of pictures every day and my dog really had a good time at their house. I would definitely come back again when I need.”

Jerry Z.

“I can’t sing enough praises for Madeline. I had to travel for a few days and, like any dog parent, I was anxious about leaving my puppy behind. From the moment we booked, Madeline put every worry to rest. We had a meet-up beforehand to ease the pup in, and from then on, my dog was totally relaxed. I especially appreciated the constant photo updates—seeing those really helped ease my anxiety about being away. 10/10, would recommend.”

Jens R.

“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”

Brittany H.

“Our pups loved their time with Krista and her family! She was incredibly understanding when I mixed up our return date - I really appreciated her flexibility!”

Brandy W.

“My dogs had a great time! They were happy and tired when I picked them up :) Jacob was flexible when I had a flight cancel just hours before take off and was stuck in a different state. He kept them for an extra day!”

Maggie F.

“Pamela took excellent care of my little old man, Watson! She was so kind and gentle with him, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Loving Pet Sitting Where Your Dog Feels Like Family In my home, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I raised two of my own from just eight weeks old, and they were by my side through every day. From puppy training to creating calm, happy routines, I’ve always believed in making animals feel safe, loved, and completely part of the home. When your dog stays with me, they’re welcomed like one of my own: • Kind, loving care — They’ll get plenty of attention, affection, and companionship, just like any family dog deserves. • Gentle training support — I naturally reinforce good manners and calm behavior through kindness, patience, and positive reinforcement. • Comfortable, home-style routine — Whether it’s playing in the large fenced yard, mealtime, or cozy downtime, I keep your dog on a routine that makes them feel right at home. • Peaceful, cozy environment — I create a calm, loving space where your dog can relax, feel safe, and be treated like part of the family. If you’re looking for pet care that feels like home, where your dog is truly cared for and loved, I’d be happy to welcome them in. I work full-time from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows for walks, playtime, and lots of attention—your dog will never feel left alone or forgotten, just like part of the family. Your dog’s safety and happiness come first in my home. I provide a calm, loving environment where every dog is treated like part of the family. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, with cozy spots for rest and space for relaxed play. We have a fully accessible, quarter-acre yard (.25 acre) for safe, supervised outdoor time—perfect for fresh air, sniffing, and play breaks. I’m home throughout the day, so your dog will have regular potty breaks, walks, attention, and companionship. I follow your dog’s routine and any special instructions closely, making sure they feel settled, comfortable, and cared for. I keep my care small and personal—your dog will never be lost in a crowd, and you’ll receive regular updates for peace of mind. Here, your dog will be safe, happy, and loved just like they are at home.

“I can’t say enough good things about Elsa’s first stay with Kara. She really worked with Elsa to get over first night anxiety issues and getting to a good place by end of stay. Kara kept me updated and I appreciated the pics she took and sent me. I highly recommend Kara and look forward to having her take care of Elsa in the future. Her dog Kodiak and Elsa are best buds!”

“**Exceptional Dog Sitting Service!** I can't say enough good things about Kathy! From the moment we met her, I could tell she truly love and understand dogs. She took such wonderful care of my furry friend, making sure every need was met—timely walks, and cuddles to make Arlo feel right at home. I received updates, adorable photos, and even a little summary of how his day was going. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to watch your dog, I highly recommend Kathy”

“De’Andra was amazing and sent pictures all throughout the day for this anxious dog mom! Super communicative and couldn’t have asked for a better person to look out and play. Walter enjoyed himself and made a new furry friend, Crosby, as well!”

Charlene C.

“Elizabeth was great. She sent me pictures and updates about my dog through her entire stay. She was responsive to all my texts. My dog came home happy and well cared for. Would use her again and would recommend”

Stacey R.

“Mark was wonderful sitting our pup Podo. He was so attentive, caring, and made us feel so at ease. He provided so many photos and updates, and Podo seemed so happy to be there. This was his first “weekend away,” as well! We will definitely have Mark sit Podo again for us, and plan to when we go away this October. He is so kind, and truly cares about the animals in his care. Thank you, Mark!!”

Rachel B.

“It was a great experience for us and our dog Storm from the moment I requested boarding! Pam responded so quickly such a welcoming way! I felt safe instantly for our dog. Pam is such a sweet lady and truly loves animals. During boarding, she updated us about Storm with pictures and videos. Storm was really enjoying his new dog friends and made home there. It’s a great feeling that now we know where we take Storm when we go on vacation. Thank you so much Pam for taking great care of Storm!”
