“Jenny was wonderful. She took great care of our 2 dogs for a whole week. Our 1 dog who typically has anxiety when we're away seemed as happy as could be! We appreciated photos throughout the week!”
“This was Teddy's second time with Ashley and Jerrell and it was amazing! They are super responsive and helped my baby become more comfortable around dogs. They are great!”
“Sowmya was an absolute lifesaver! I had a last-minute situation and wasn’t as prepared as I should’ve been when dropping off my dog—but everything was handled with such grace, flexibility, and professionalism. No hesitation to step in and they made sure my pup was fully cared for, even without all the usual supplies. Throughout the stay, communication was clear and thoughtful, and I could tell she genuinely cared. Knowing my dog was in good hands gave me peace of mind during a hectic time. I truly appreciated their patience and willingness to go above and beyond on such short notice. I will definitely use them again.”
“Went above expectations! I wouldn’t hesitate to have De’Andra & Rob take care of my pup. Great communication and updates on pet during stay. Very thorough and you can tell that they care a lot about what they do.”
“Daisy’s stay with Pam and Mike was perfect! Pam sent us picture and video updates every day and it was clear that Daisy felt right at home with Pam, Mike and their dogs! Would 100% rebook with them. They are truly dog lovers and will treat your dog as their own.”
“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!”
“Lisa did an amazing job with my dog! She kept me updated every single day with pictures and detailed messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond — when he wasn’t interested in eating, she even made him scrambled eggs to make sure he was taken care of. I highly recommend Lisa and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Oliver was so loved by Svitlana and her family. I had regular updates and photos, and my dog seemed so comfortable and happy while there. Svitlana was very communicative, and I highly recommend her. We will be repeat customers for sure.”
“Ollie loves staying with Teresa, and I feel confident he's in good hands when I drop him off. Teresa is always quick to communicate and easy to work with when schedules can be a little unpredictable.”
“I am a repeat customer with bookings already planned with Holly. She is excellent and I would not trust Barkley with anyone else. You can't go wrong booking with her. Thank you again!”
“Krista & family are so friendly & caring with our girl Bella. Bella loves her cuddle time with them. She enjoys the other dogs, playing & running in the yd. Krista sends daily pictures & info ❤️”
“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.”
“This was the first time I used a pet sitting service and it was a very positive experience. Elizabeth was great with my dogs. Her communication before and during their stay was fantastic, with pics and videos! I was able to enjoy and relax during my vacation because I knew my dogs were going to be well cared for.”
“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”
“Candace and her family are amazing. There are know other words for them. From the second Shadow was dropped off they loved on him and treated him as their own. I believe they wanted to keep him for good but we had to have our boy back.😊 But let me say this every time we travel if Candace is available Shadow will be staying with her and her family.”
“This was the first time using Rover… Vicky was absolutely a dream. My dog’s loved her family and her little girl Nova! (her dog) slept with my little Frenchie all night she kept me updated on what they ate and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog’s for the first time with someone new…. I will be definitely be leaving my dogs with her and her family again!”

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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dover on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 599 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.
