“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.”
“Elise and Daniel are beyonnddd amazing!! I’m so incredibly grateful to have found them….they were so easy to work with and so flexible with me…..their home is very warm and homey, the kind where everyone feels at home….They took such great care of my chihuahua….I was visiting for an event and staying downtown, it was very close by and I wish that I could use them full time but I live out of state….thank you so much Elise, Daniel and Eli for taking such amazing care of Waffles….im so grateful and I loved meeting you 🤗🙏”
“This was Rico’s first time staying away and he warmed up and adjusted quickly. I appreciate feeling included with all picture and video updates on how his days were during his stay. Rico made friends and burned so much energy and immediately took a nap on our way back. Glad I found a trusted local dog sitter to take care of Rico. He’ll be back! 😁”
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“Olivia was so great with your fur babies! She was so easy to work with and super accommodating. I loved the picture updates she sent to us while we were gone! Our pups were so exhausted when they got home! Which tells me they had so much fun playing! We will definitely use Olivia again!”
“Miles loves spending time with Brian and his family (people and dogs). Brian is communicative, reliable, very easy to work with, and clearly loves animals. He takes excellent care of our dog, and I would absolutely recommend him and trust him with my pets. We're very glad to have found you. Thanks!”
“Same day Boarding request for 2 puppies under 1 year old. Corey has a fenced yard, he provides photos and videos each day and keeps the puppies and their bedding very clean. My puppies came home with freshly washed bedding and their own baths! What a Treat!”
“I love how Cecilia did an initial meet and greet. This was our first time using the Rover app and I’m glad I’m came across her profile.That made me so comfortable to leaving him with her. Astro struggles with separation anxiety and she made sure she suggested many things to make him comfortable.She even hand fed him .Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby.”
“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!”
“Chris was wonderful with my 5 year old French bulldog. I was very hesitant initially to use rover as my dog is very needy and high energy. He would usually go to doggy daycare while we are away to keep him occupied. However, a recent back injury prevented him from going. I hired Chris with very short notice. She took exceptional care of my dog, sent lots of photos and updates while we were away. She even went out of her way to make arrangements to stay an additional day when our flight home was canceled. It was wonderful and reassuring knowing that my dog was getting such great care and attention while we were gone. I would rehire Chris to watch my dog again in a heartbeat!”
“Claudia did an amazing job looking after my puppy! I highly recommend her! This was the first time leaving my puppy with a pup sitter and I could not have asked for anyone better than Claudia to look after her. The daily updates through pictures and videos helped me feel at peace and also know that my puppy was in great hands and very well cared for. Thank you so much again, Claudia!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She's extremely flexible, gives you updates on your beloved pet, and cares for them as her own. I was so nervous to leave my baby for the first time but i couldn't have left him in better hands! If you need to leave your fur baby for any reason, Elizabeth and her family is the go to 😊”
“I do not worry one single moment when our enthusiastic golden doodle Max is staying with Sangeetha. I get lots of photos and videos of his many adventures! Sangeetha is conscientious about Max's diet, need for play and love of car trips to outdoor places (or indoors at PetSmart). Her experience and sensitivity to each dog's needs are worth their weight in gold!”
“Raelyn and her family treated my dogs Mawz and Rubeus so wonderfully. I think Mawz would have been perfectly happy to never have come home. She has found furever friends with Raelyn! Rubeus was more "cautious," as Raelyn described him. We were kind of surprised because he is usually so ADHD, but we could tell that he'd also been treated extremely well. We so appreciated that Raelyn is obviously a lover of dogs and took good care of our fur babies. They had a great time and we will definitely be calling on Raelyn in the future!”
“Carly is awesome! We did a 3-night stay and her frequent communication and daily updates as well as photos gave us peace of mind. She was also flexible when our pick-up time ran a little later than expected. Highly recommend her services and will rebook in the future!”

Our second time using Jordyn. She helped us in a pinch the first time and this time we went with her because she is just the best. My dog was so excited to see her again as well. She did a great job and photos on a regular basis which made us smile. Lots of photos of walks, he seemed to be getting some good exercise and stimulation - he looked like a happy boy!
I cannot say enough good things about Steffani and Josh. This was the 3rd time they watched my Cora girl. When I was dropping her off, she was so excited to see Steffani, she hopped like a bunny to the door! They treat her like she’s one of their own. Thanks so much guys!
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.
Marissa was so sweet and helpful with my pups while I was away for business. I am always nervous when traveling and leaving my girls with anyone, but Marissa put my mind at ease. She sent photos to check in and let me know how they were doing, and my one one more nervous dog, Penelope, did NOT go on a hunger strike while I was away as she sometimes does--which speaks volumes about how comfortable she was while staying with her! I look forward to using her again when I travel. Thank you, Marissa!!
Ive lost track of how many times I've booked with Nick, but every single time its been a pleasure. My dogs always seem happy there and well cared for. His family also seems to really enjoy my 2 dogs, as always the next time I need a dog sitter I will be re-booking with Nick, such a great family who really do loves dogs :)
We have been bringing our dog to Bronwen for a number of years. When we pull into Bronwen's driveway, Trixie jumps right out and runs to get into Bronwen's backyard without a backward glance. She loves going to Bronwen, and we get lots of updates. Trixie can be a picky eater, but Bronwen always gets her to eat. Trixie comes home tired and happy. Highly recommend Bronwen!
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!
Monique was available when I needed someone immediately. My regular sitter was away and I had a family emergency. Monique was wonderful. As Mina became acclimated to her, Skye, and their dog, she had a really good time over the Halloween holiday. Monique sent me pics of Mina in her Halloween costume that were really cute! Mina was well taken care of and I am hoping that Monique will be available again in the future. Thanks, Monique and Skye!

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 Bellefonte 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 Bellefonte.
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 Bellefonte 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.
