“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.”
“Brionna was excellent with my Gemma. She was patient and cared for her so well. My dog takes a while to get used to sitters and she did so good with her. Hands down the best sitter!”
“Krista has hosted our lab retriever, Ellie, twice. Both times were fantastic. Krista is always very easy to communicate with! She is great with dogs. It’s nice that our dog can socialize and play while she stays with Krista and her family. I also appreciate how she always has Ellie‘s things packed and ready to go when I come for pick up- it makes drop off and pick up quick and easy. We will definitely rebook with her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“LAUREN AND DOUG ARE THE BEST! It is difficult to be away from my pup for a week, but I know that he is in the greatest care. I get the perfect amount of photos and updates. Whenever he is there, he receives so much love!”
“It was my third time with this family. Would give 10 stars if it would exist! My Standard Poodle was well taken care of. I had a full report with pictures, meals. We definitely will be back!”
“Just amazing! I'm a very anxious person, Kathy put me so at ease. She takes wonderful notes of each pet and is very meticulous with how she cares for your pet. She very much treats them as if they where her own. I cant wait for my pup to go back, she can't as well!”
“Bobbi did a wonderful job again. I know when I leave Maggie with her, she is going to be cared for and loved. I love seeing all the picture of Maggie with her friends too. Bobbi is a caring dog lover.”
“I was very happy with Jaideep and his wife. During the meet and greet, I felt so comfortable. Zara made herself at home immediately. They kept me updated several times a day with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my little girl was well cared for and getting lots of attention. I truly appreciated the communication. I will be using them again. Highly recommended!”

“Heather and her family greeted our dogs with loving, open arms. They have a lovely home with a farm which allowed the dogs to be entertained from their playpen with chickens and ducks. Our dogs are completely happy with no problems while they were visiting Heather and Family. Heather is great at communication and gets back to you right away. We asked for pictures and Heather sent lots of pictures to comfort us knowing our girls were safe and well loved.”
“Teresa has watched my baby boy Milo a couple times and this past time was much longer than others and let me say he did not want to leave her! She does an amazing job with communicating and sending pictures especially when I miss him too much! She has been such a great help! Looking forward to using her in the future.”

Katlyn, Zach, and their family made our little Missy feel like family during her weekend stay at their home. We really appreciated all the notes and the pictures shared while we were away. We look forward to sharing our Missy with their family the next time we travel!
Stephanie is great! She kept us up to date with videos and photos of Charlie. Nice home environment with a huge fenced in yard. She gave Charlie daily exercise and provided loving care. I would recommend Stephanie for your dog care needs. Thanks Stephanie! John & Rebecca Butler

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Dover
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dover on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 594 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Dover sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dover landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dover home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dover.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dover sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 PA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
