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.
“Danita’s family were very kind and loving to our dogs. We had a last minute need for care and they were very quick to respond and agree to care for our dogs. I highly recommend them!”
“Kobe loves Joseph and he never wants to come home. Joseph takes great care of Kobe and sends pictures/videos throughout the day. Up next is one week of boarding with Joseph while we go on vacation!”
About: I got my first dog when I was 18 years old. She was the sweetest pup I have ever met! Since then dogs have become an irreplaceable part of my life. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs & few dogs with behavioral needs. I have fostered dogs through the years and learnt how meaningful this experience can be. My last foster was a young adult who was a year old. Open to pets all day subjected to advance notice/short notice. I'm mostly home so I can be flexible with your routine and needs. A small heads up is always appreciated. I live in an apartment complex which is 5 mins away from 2 dog parks. I'll take your dog for daily exercise and morning, afternoon and evening. I live in a neighborhood which has lots of space to walk for regular/short walks. I have a 7 year old mild tempered female dog who will provide excellent care and comfort while you are away. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate.
“Cathy and Amy were wonderful and took great care of our Doggo! They are super friendly and create and joyful environment for the visiting dogs. As soon as I heard my dog was relaxed in the dog bed outside the bedroom and the kitchen I knew we found great sitters for our dog:)”
“Samantha really helped me out. I had to make a last minute trip to Delaware and she was kind enough to take Stefano in for several hours. Looks like Stefano had a great time. I would highly recommend Samantha and would definitively call on her, with proper notice, again in the future.”
“Nicolette did a great job watching Penny for the day! She was friendly and promptly responded to our messages and questions. Her dog Prince also got along well with our dog. We would book her again!”
About: Hello! Meet a terrier trapped in a human body. I am an absolute lover of all dogs from the cutest little teacup to the biggest mastiff. I have always had a dog throughout my adult life. My past dogs have been adopted as puppies and as adult rescues, each of which requires a unique set of skills and responsiveness. You can trust that whether you have an energetic bundle of playfullness or a reserved, quiet couch buddy, they will receive an abundance of love and care from me. I match animals where they are and respond to what they need from me. Over my lifetime, I have cared for all kinds of animals, from cats, dogs, birds, fish and backyard chickens, to more exotic animals like chameleons, red-eared slider turtles, guinea pigs and other rodents, and even sheep, goats, and horses. I am currently a pet parent to two foster cats turned adopted felines, two guinea pigs, and two turtles. Being around animals brings me a deep sense of joy, peace, and fulfillment, and it is my utmost goal to return that same feeling to the animals in my life. I work part-time from home in Swarthmore, PA. As an animal lover who just can't get enough, I want to add pet-stting and dog-walking to my schedule to fill that well of animal love I already have. In rare instances, I will not be able to accept same-day requests, but otherwise, I should be able to meet your needs. Currently, I am taking drop in or occasional visits only. I am unable to add weekly walks or visits, but I can definitely fill in while you find the right sitter or help when your regular sitter is unavailable. As the owner of many types of animals with many different needs, I understand that caring for your pet in exactly the way you ask me to is of utmost importance. I will enter you home, approach your animal/s, provide care, and exit in the exact way you ask me to. As someone who has had many pet-sitters over my adulthood, I know how important it is to trust that your pet-sitter is doing exactly what you've asked them to do. You will not have to worry with me. Knowing that you can relax and enjoy your day or your vacation brings me joy because this is exactly what I want when I leave my pets in another's care.
“Franklin had a great time at Richard’s house! Franklin is an older dog, very sweet, affectionate, and alert but low-energy, so a home setting was perfect for his disposition and needs. I’ll definitely be taking Franklin to Richard’s home again!”
“I had such a great experience with this dog sitter! She was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated and made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Liz was great with only fur baby! She kept me updated with how Luna was doing throughout the day and sent pictures!! Looking forward to leaving Luna with Liz again, knowing she will be in greats hands!!”
“Lauren is very flexible and understanding and really great with Chai! Great with updates and giving Chai lots of opportunities to potty and exercise. Chai also gets along great with Lauren’s own pups!”
“This is the second time we had Benjamin take care of Beau. I feel very comfortable leaving our dog with him because I know he is going to be taken care of. We will definitely be using his services in the future.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barkley
Our dog Sage loves going to Patti & Andy’s house. She does daycare with them 3 days a week and always has a blast. We switched over from Dogtopia months ago and that has been the best decision we made for our furbaby. Sage always comes home happy, tired, and clean. Patti does a great job managing all our girl’s needs and makes sure all the dogs play safely.
Cathy and Amy were wonderful and took great care of our Doggo! They are super friendly and create and joyful environment for the visiting dogs. As soon as I heard my dog was relaxed in the dog bed outside the bedroom and the kitchen I knew we found great sitters for our dog:)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,247 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Barkley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Barkley commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 2,247 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of DE. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
