“Andres did a fabulous job with my dogs, and they were quite happy and enjoyed their time. He has a fenced in yard where they ran and played and have a great time. I highly recommend Andres and will definitely book with him for our next vacation. Thanks, Andres!”
“Rita was great! Our first time using Rover and we were nervous since our dog can be a bit needy. Rita would send pictures and updates which put us at ease. Otis looked to have a great time! We will definitely be using Rita again.”
“A last minute change to a planned trip made us look for a reasonable alternative to boarding which I won’t ever do again. Brian was proactive and professional in helping us solve our problem. He met our dog right away to make sure it was a good fit. Communication was plentiful (with pics) and we felt good knowing our dog was with someone who cared. We will use him again for sure.”
“I boarded with Aaron for the first time and certainly this may not be th last time as Aaron was very professional and polite. We did a meet and greet and he ensured he has all the relevant information he would need to take care of my Daisy well. I was provided regular updates, pics and videos for Daisy while I was away and it sure was a good experience for Daisy to get a pup cup and enjoy it! There is good play space for the dogs in the fenced backyard also! I would highly recommend Aaron for his boarding services. Thanks!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Emily and Christine were fantastic. Our dog had a great time and was very well taken care of. Birdie seemed to really like them and their dog, Lilo. We will definitely book them again in the future.”
“Juliana is a wonderful sitter! Meek got so excited when being dropped off for his 2nd visit at her house. She is loving and takes great care of Meek. Constant updated the care of Meek”
About: I am a life long dog lover and owner. Mother to a 6 year old son and a 7 year old Pomeranian. I am home during the day so your fur baby will get plenty of walks and attention. I have pet sat for many friends and family and will treat your dog like my own. We go for morning walks every day at 9 am with several backyard breaks during the day. We also take a walk every evening after dinner. I have a fenced yard with one dog of my own. Couch and beds are open for all pets so they can rest where they are comfortable.
“This is the first time the girls have spent nights away from home without me. I left them in the correct hands. They were well loved and attended. Lanie needed socialization and Lili a soft place to sleep, they both got what was needed. Thanks so much!!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“My go-to sitter. My pup always has a great time hanging out with Sirius and Billie. Trey keeps me up-to-date and sends me pics and videos to show all the fun she’s having and put my mind at ease. Would absolutely recommend as a caring place to send their pup.”
“Danita and her family were amazing with our dog Finley. She updated us frequently and sent photos of our dog settling in and getting comfortable. I knew our dog was in good hands, was well taken care of, and got plenty of walks and belly rubs. I would 100% recommend Danita to care for your dog!”
“Jessica took great care of my girl Cora. She is super sweet and I could tell Cora made herself right at home. Her kitty was also part of the welcoming committee 😂. She was flexible on drop off/pick up times. I would definitely use Jessica’s services again!”
“Nicolette was an excellent dog sitter! She was incredibly caring and attentive, always quick to respond to any questions or requests. She adapted to our dog's needs with ease, ensuring Bella was well-cared for and happy. Nicolette took Bella on plenty of walks, and her spacious backyard provided the perfect setting for playtime. With an abundance of toys and treats, Bella was thoroughly entertained. We also appreciated the regular updates and pictures Nicolette sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Nicolette for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Beth is an excellent dog host! Indiana was treated like a movie star and even went with Ottis to the dog park as an outing. I was updated several times a day with photos and a video. I have been using Rover.com for quite a while. You get to know when your dog has been at ease during the stay. I can say that Indiana came home very happy and enjoyed his stay. Beth is a great sitter and I highly recommend her!!!”
“David is a wonderful pet sitter. We have a senior dog who needs medicine twice a day and wants to be by your side all the time because he is partially blind and has lost his hearing. When Rocco returns from a stay with David, he is still the same happy pup. David is also very flexible with adapting to any changes that might come up with your plans for your pet’s stay. David has become my regular pet sitter and I always know my pet is in great hands. I highly recommend David!”
About: I have owned dogs for the past 20 years, including a mastiff and pit/Shepard mix. I also grew up with cats. I have also helped out a rescue I am home at lunch during the week to let your pet out and home by 5:15 pm . Weekends I do not work and can be home all day I have a separate gated off part of the house the animal can be housed in instead of sitting in a crate if I am not home
“Laura was the absolute best!! I couldn’t ask for a better person and environment for my dog. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away - I was confident that my dog was being loved and cared for. Thank you!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barkley
This was our first time using Rover. Amy & Cathy were so nice and very helpful. We know our dog Ruby was well taken care of and enjoyed having other dogs around that made her feel like part of the pack. We just hope Ruby was good so they would watch her again if we needed. Thank you so much!
Cindy took excellent care of our dog Calvin over the weekend. He was clearly comfortable at Cindy's home from the pictures and communication we received throughout the stay. He came back happy and tired from all of the play and attention. We would gladly use Cindy's services again on future trips and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.
Stevie stayed with Patti for the second time and when we arrived to drop her off, she sprinted to the door…couldn’t get in to see Patti and her furry friends quick enough. I think that speaks volumes to the care and compassion that Patti provides! Stevie loves and we will continue to utilize when we need a sitter!!
HIGHLY recommend Jordyn! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We used her for boarding for a long weekend, and she was absolutely amazing with our little guy. He has separation anxiety, so leaving him can be stressful, but sometimes it just takes the right person to make him feel comfortable—and Jordyn was definitely that person! She was incredibly responsive and sent us pictures and updates throughout our entire vacation. In every picture, he looked SO happy, peaceful, and completely relaxed—not stressed or anxious at all. Seeing him so comfortable gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to actually enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. She was also extremely flexible with our pickup time when our flight kept getting delayed, which we appreciated more than she knows. Thank you so much, Jordyn, from the bottom of my heart for taking such amazing care of our little guy. We will absolutely be using you again! 🐶❤️
Ariana was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my mini dachshund, Dino! It was Dino’s first time staying with Ariana, and she did a great job making me feel reassured that Dino was happy and comfortable during his stay. Dino is already looking forward to his next stay with Ariana!
Elizabeth and her family took wonderful care of my dog and really treated her like their own and made her feel loved while I was away. I'm especially grateful because it was a last minute booking after another sitter cancelled last minute. I highly recommend Elizabeth!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Barkley 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 Barkley.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Barkley 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.
