Breanna is wonderful. I have a very anxiety ridden German Shepherd and she’s sometimes a handful. Breanna easily helped her get over the newest of her having a dog walker and she’s been so happy. Thanks!

About: I have been caring for dogs for two years now, since my pup has had two ACL surgeries. During her recovery, I’ve helped her walk safely and given oral medications. Friends and family often trust me to look after their dogs too, whether it's for walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them company and care while they're away. I am currently a college student at the University of Delaware, so my summer is completely available to take care of, so many fur babies! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personalities and routines. I will make sure that in your home that your pet feels secure and safe in their familiar environment while respecting your space. In my home I provide a clean, calm, pet friendly environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at home. I also have four cats that love dogs!

About: I have such a huge passion for creating an environment where your pet can be happy and healthy. No matter what kind of age or disabilities or temperaments, I can handle all. Ever since I could remember I have had pets all my life, everything from cat to dog to rabbit and even birds, and each and every one of them has lived or is still living the best life. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule can be a little messy but I will have time to take care of your pups wants and needs! At my home I have a fenced in yard and have many crates, and at your home as long as I have directions on how to care for your pet I can work in any environment.

About: I have 6 years of experience taking care of 4 cats and my dog!! I can feed, give water, take walks, scoop boxes, and entertain with toys. I am also excellent with anxious pets and those who need a little extra care and love. I have a gentle voice and will always try to be aware of your pets' comfort level before approaching. I just graduated high school and have the whole summer to get into the business world of pets. I'm hoping to do this while continuing my education, too. I will work hard to provide a safe environment for all animals in accordance with guidelines set by my clients. For dogs, I prefer a fenced in yard, but will consider leashed walks depending on the size of your dog.

About: With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.

About: Hi! My name is Theresa and I am avid dog and animal lover overall. I have had dogs of all breeds and sizes throughout my life. Frequent dog sitter for friends, friends of friends and family for 10+ years. I will run, play and cater visits to your pup! I have worked in a popular animal hospital and am knowledgeable of dog CPR and first aid. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and I always take care of another person's pet like they are my own. Please see my testimonials for previous dog sitting/ walking experience. I look forward to speaking with you and taking care of your pups for you (: I work full time at a local hospital and I fit pet sitting walking in on my off days as well as the mornings and afternoons of the days I am at work. I always take the advice of the owners on where to play and walk their pets. If the pet is comfortable with other animals I love to take them to local parks for some extra exercise and stimulation, but only at the discretion of the owners. Same goes for crating or not crating their pet.

And I have two children who are always eager to play! As I mentioned, we have a fenced in yard, alotted pocket parks for lots of play, we allow pets on the furniture and beds as well, we can provide a separate space for your pet or your pet can sleep near us. However we can provide a home-like atmosphere for your baby, we will do it!

About: Hi, My name is Emily! I'm from Delaware and have done dog sitting through Rover.com for quite sometime now and love it. I also have 10+ years in professional pet care. I did a year with Rover before moving to Florida where I worked as a kennel technician, certified professional dog trainer, kennel supervisor and asst kennel manager. I also have a small amount of veterinary experience. I worked with a rescue and fostered dogs for a year. Since I’ve been back home and am a stay at home mom I have created my own successful insured business in the care and training of any and all dogs I absolutely love it! I also foster with Grass Roots Rescue and put on fun events for my clients doggos to help raise money. They are a blast. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have had a family dog as far back as I remember. My past has shaped my passion for the care and training of dogs. Dogs bring so much love joy loyalty honesty and devotion to life, who wouldn’t want to make it their career. About my yard My back yard is completely fenced in with a 6 foot privacy fence. We even have indoor and outdoor cameras as well as an entryway yard and gate for added security. There are many trees so it's pretty cool and shady on hot summer days and plenty of room to explore. And for all you senior pet owners we have a huge handicap ramp leading to my back kitchen door. If you want your dogs to play with others it will be supervised and I’ll give you a full report on how they did. We also go on pack walks daily, weather permitting. A tired dog is a good dog. Want a bath and nail trim before they go home? Just let me know and consider it done. My home is a bi or split level home and I have dedicated one level to my dog care business. Spacious private areas have been mapped out for any dog or family of dogs so they may eat their meals, take breaks and sleep in their own space. I have it set up this way in case there’s any pups who don’t like other dogs, if certain dogs don’t get along or owners who don’t want their dog around other dogs. On the other hand, if your dog is not enjoying their area we can and will make any special accommodations necessary to provide a fun and stress free stay. My options are extensive for every pet parent. My experience administering medication is extensive. I can give just about any medication. Including insulin if needed. My certifications include pet CPR and first aide and professional dog trainer. I have also attended and graduated from multiple Cesars Way courses. In Fort Lauderdale and his ranch in California. Just an FYI, Starting June 17th 2025 Rover will be increasing their fees and 20% of what the client pays will go to them. I am a stay at home mom. Most I am gone for a day is 2-4 hours to run errands or expedite a training consultation at a clients home. You dog will have their own spacious area, where they will sleep, eat and rest. I follow a schedule where your dog will be let out at least 5 times a day, to go for a walk or play outside or to go potty. But, if your dog is having trouble settling in and prefers to free roam, I can and will make any changes in accommodations to make them more comfortable. I have calming music playing at all times as well as essential oil diffusers going with calming scents to provide the ultimate stress free stay. As far as dogs on the furniture. I go by what you tell me. There is no option like that to choose when creating my profile.

Aline is patient and loving. She has cared for her puppy for a year now while working long shifts. She still sets time to care for her dog and does everything to make him happy. She loves animals and dogs specifically. She would be a great sitter/walker! I highly recommend Aline.

Theresa has watched my dogs while on vacation! My dogs are always taken care of and loved. If I am away for a long day, she is very helpful with stopping over and letting both of my dogs out. I have two golden retrievers and she just adores them. I would recommend her to anyone!! She’s great!!

About: I have had years of experience from my teen years as well as into my adult years taking care of furry little friends! I cared for many pets on my street growing up and I frequently care for our dog-brothers Jake (Golden Retriver), Easton (yellow lab), and Hattie (Silver lab). I also have my own little buddy Brinkley, a 9-month old mini Goldendoodle. He is friendly to all pets 🫶🏻 I also have two kids that enjoy all the animals and love to help take care of pets with me. We promise to treat your baby with the extra love and care as we would our own babies. I currently work part-time hours but my husband works from home so there is always someone at home to be with your special buddy. We provide a fenced in back yard and can accommodate many different sleeping arrangements. We have a furry buddy of our own named Brinkley who enjoys all kinds of animals and new friends. And I have two children who are always eager to play! As I mentioned, we have a fenced in yard, alotted pocket parks for lots of play, we allow pets on the furniture and beds as well, we can provide a separate space for your pet or your pet can sleep near us. However we can provide a home-like atmosphere for your baby, we will do it!

Josh and I have been friends for a long time, and he has always been an animal lover. He has a dog named Niko that he absolutely adores, and they enjoy going on walks and playing together. I have two cats that Josh also loves to help me take care of. They’re very shy with new people, yet they didn’t hesitate to go up to him at all. Other than the fact that he’s great with animals, Josh is very reliable and overall just a great person to be around.

Emily watched my dog Chewie for a few days and I cannot recommend her enough. I practically had to drag him out when I picked him up. You can tell she has a passion for what she is doing. Great professional. Will definitely be using her again and will also tell all my friends and family about her as well.
