“I would definitely recommend Sureya to keep your pet. My Koda is very shy, barks at most people especially men ?. When I dropped him off he never barked. He went right to her. She’s very warm and inviting and i would absolutely rebook with her.”
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for pets! 🐾❤️ My journey began as a foster parent with Boise Bully Breed in Boise, Idaho, where I discovered just how rewarding it is to give animals love, patience, and a safe place to land. Since then, caring for animals has remained a huge part of my life. I’m currently a proud dog mom to a bully breed and share my home with four cats, so I understand that pets aren’t just animals — they’re family! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away, and I want to give you peace of mind knowing they’re receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. 🐶 My services include: * In-home boarding: I welcome one dog at a time into my home so your pup can receive personalized attention and care. * Drop-in visits: I can stop by your home to check on your pets, provide meals, refresh water, offer playtime, and give them plenty of affection. * In-home pet sitting: I can care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while you’re away. I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a little extra patience, a playmate, a cozy place to stay, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll do my best to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of mine! 🐾💕 I pet sit and clean homes on the side, my full time “job” is taking care of my family and my pets. I’d love to take care of yours as well! When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home while their families are away. I have a partially fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, fresh air, and opportunities to explore. For everyone’s safety, outdoor time is supervised, and I use a leash or other appropriate safety measures when needed. I offer in-home boarding for one dog at a time so each guest receives personalized attention, affection, and care. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs or maintain a familiar crating routine when requested by their owners. I’m happy to follow your pet’s established schedule for meals, walks, playtime, rest, and any special needs. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how important it is to maintain familiar routines and help pets feel secure in a new environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, exercise, medication instructions when applicable, and plenty of companionship. My goal is to make time away from family as stress-free as possible for every pet while giving their owners peace of mind. Your pets will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and consideration I give my own! 🐾
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Kara and her husband was great with Iceland, she sent photos and he looked like he had a great time!! Icelands pretty energetic so it was nice to see someone else could handle him lol. 10/10”
About: I have lived with/ taken care of various animals for as long as i can remember. I have experience with just about every type of animal such as dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, pigs/ livestock, hedgehogs, and rabbits. I've always been an animal lover and I guarantee I'll be your furbaby's new best friend. I am willing to adapt to any environment and provide the best service for your pet specifically. I love all breeds and I work well with them whether we're playing, training, walking, or relaxing. I have been told by many that I am somewhat of an "animal whisperer." I have a calming energy around animals and I know how to let them get to know me on their own terms and in their own way. I have more than enough patience and love for any situation.
“Rackeem was awesome with my dogs while I was on vacation! He took excellent care of my fur babies and I highly recommend him! He provides daily updates and pictures so you can be assured your pets are safe and doing well while in his care. He's also a great trainer as well! He helped my very active 14 month old pup 🐶 stop pulling so much while on our walks.”
“Jermaine took good care of my 7 year old pit bull for a week. He either updated me first or answered my questions in a timely manner when I asked for updates. I also received some pictures throughout the week of my boy. Overall I had a great experience and will be using Jermaine again!”
“If you want your dog to be treated like a member of the family, book with Brenda! She took excellent care of my beagle mix Iris and her space is very comfortable for pups - lots of snuggly blankets and great yard for them to play. Thank you Brenda!!”
“Alyssa is the absolute best. She treated our pup like her own! She has an amazing backyard that is the perfect place for your dog to run around! We can’t recommend her enough!!! She sent us photos the whole time ❤️”
“Gina is wonderful! She sent us frequent videos and pictures to keep us posted and we knew our dog was having a good time there. Fifi was so well loved and taken care of during her second time away from us. Fifi definitely enjoyed her stay with Gina and her husband! We will keep using this service in the future.”
“So it was last minute; however, Lauren opened her door for me and took care of my Cayo! She was very caring and fun for Cayo. Cayo got along greatly with Lauren’s dogs and children. Cayo got plenty of playing time as well, which I’m thankful that I got many photos of! I highly recommend Lauren to provide care for your puppies as well, because I know I will be returning for her services!!! Thanks Lauren! ~ Matt & Cayo Hughes”
“I'd give more than five stars if I could. Rachael looked after my two cats for a long weekend. One is very shy and timid in new places, and the other is needy and cuddly but can sometimes decide she'd rather hiss at you instead. Both were cared for with patience and understanding, and with more time I think they'd probably decide to stay there permanently. Thanks Rachael for being so accommodating!”
“Sandra took the time to meet with our dogs prior to boarding, sent several updates throughout their stay, and made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. Most importantly, my dogs seemed to love her. I plan to come to Sandra for any future boarding needs!”
“Reid was so attentive and caring for my pup! He kept me updated and informed about everything. He even sent photos and videos showing how happy my pup was while in his care. I highly recommend and will be using him again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Dover Base Housing is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dover Base Housing
We had several plan changes leading up to Poe's stay due to weather. Tasha was completely flexible and super nice about it. She sent pics and updates during his stay and made us feel like he was being well cared for and possibly even a bit spoiled. 😉 We will absolutely be booking with Tasha in the future!
Kahjae was absolutely phenomenal! He responded quickly to messages and even agreed to do a meet and greet with his pups and mine before we confirmed the booking. Kahjae was very kind and wanted the best for his furry guests. He kept us updated with how our dog was doing and kept us in the loop. Highly recommend him!
Abigail and her family were great! She was very accommodating and I was able to book with her last minute. I received pictures and videos of Kash while I was gone. Which put me at ease because this was my first time booking with rover. Thank you Abigail for making my first experience the best!!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Dover Base Housing can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dover Base Housing 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 Base Housing.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dover Base Housing. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Dover Base Housing 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 DE 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
