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.
“Absolute best! Pablo is always energized, well bonded and more social after each time he is in Joseph’s care. Ah! The relief to know your fur baby is in great hands 🙌🏻 something all pet parents can relate to!”
About: I have taken care of animals for over 25 plus years both as a pet owner and pet sitter. I love all animals (especially DOGs!!) and I am happiest when I get to spend time with my furry friends I am a retired scientist who enjoys spending my free time gardening, walking, practicing Pilates, and—most of all—caring for animals. I truly enjoy dog walks, park visits, and building meaningful relationships with the pets and families I serve. I provide dependable, compassionate pet care, including regular visits, dog walking, and transportation to veterinary appointments to help keep your furry family members healthy and happy. Services Offered: Dog Walking Drop-In Visits Boarding House Sitting Medication administration (including injections) Special care upon request, such as diapering, assisted feeding, and cleansing With over 25 years of experience as a pet owner and caregiver, I have cared for animals with allergies, cardiac and pulmonary disease, heart failure, dementia, and incontinence. I am attentive, patient, and comfortable managing complex care needs. Caring for animals is both a blessing and a privilege. I pour my heart into every pet I care for and treat each one as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a secure, calm home environment where pets are closely supervised at all times and treated like family. My boarding services include regular neighborhood walks and park visits, always conducted safely using secure leashes, pet-appropriate gear, and routes suited to your pet’s needs and energy level. Playtime is structured, supervised, and balanced with plenty of rest, affection, and cuddling. I strictly follow each pet owner’s feeding instructions, schedules, and care preferences to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I am experienced in administering medications, including oral medications and injections/shots, and I do so carefully and confidently according to your veterinarian’s guidance. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home, free from hazards, and I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and shared spaces remain secure. Small pets are welcome to enjoy free access to the main living area, including cozy couch cuddling, while always being monitored to ensure their comfort and safety. I prioritize positive experiences, gentle handling, and clear communication with pet parents, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for, safe, and truly loved while you’re away.
About: I have given care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable with all personality types, and sizes. I also have experience with cats, as an owner and sitter. I currently am dedicated to pet care and services for the summer. Book me now! I currently work on a part time basis but I generally make my own schedule. I can dedicate as much time as needed to caring and playing with your pets! I put animals above most people. I have a fenced in yard. Leash always on if the door is open. Door always closed if the leash is off. I also have a pet first aid book and carry supplies on me.
About: Hi I’m Jess! I’ve previously worked for petsmart and have owned pets all of my life! I’ve got experience as a bird owner for over 30 years with multiple types of birds and other animals such as dogs, cats, and handling small critters at Petsmart. I have volunteer experience with rescue dogs at a rescue in Pa in my twenties, volunteered at Tri State Bird Rescue, and Forgotten Cats for many years. I have been a sitter for dogs of all sizes including a coon hound, pit mix, corgi, and a golden doodle. I’ve even made homemade dog food when necessary! I have also been a sitter for cats! I’m willing to get my hands dirty and am used to cleaning up for and bathing dogs in my home as well! I love the outdoors and walking dogs, so your dog will get plenty of outside time. There is a state park close to my home that I frequent. If you have other animals in your home like Guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, lizards, etc I can care for them too with my knowledge from working at Petsmart. Helping me will be my significant other who currently works for petsmart also. I’m an animal lover at heart and will take great care of your pet as if it were my own! I’m home 24/7 to care for your pet, with a very flexible open schedule. I have nothing but lots of time to devote to your pet. I have a safe apartment complex with other leashed dogs that are all friendly surrounding me. My home is smoke free and we don’t use aerosols or candles due to owning birds. Our birds are kept separate from your animals and your pet will be supervised and played with and let out for potty breaks and walks every hour or two.
About: Your pet won't just be supervised—they will be completely folded into my daily routine, receiving constant affection, belly rubs, and inclusion in family life. My experience with animals isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong calling. For over a decade, I have cared for a diverse family of pets, mastering the art of reading their subtle body language and anticipating their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality—from the high-energy pup who needs an exhausting game of fetch to the quiet senior who wants a gentle hand on their head. My hands-on experience has taught me how to establish instant trust, calm anxious minds, and provide a nurturing environment where pets don't just stay, but truly thrive. As a work-from-home entrepreneur, my schedule is entirely my own—which means your pet is never an afterthought, but a central part of my day. Because I control my hours, I don’t leave for a 9-to-5. Instead, my workspace is shared with your pet, offering them a constant, comforting human presence that drastically reduces separation anxiety. My daily routine is intentionally built around natural breaks that perfectly mirror a dog's need for stimulation, affection, and rest. I transform my home into a peaceful, tail-wagging sanctuary where your pet is treated as an honored family member, not a guest. Because I work from home, my environment is calm, highly predictable, and entirely secure.
“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!”
About: Animals are always taken good care of I love animals and have a lot of experience to care for an animal when I pet sit. I have free time we mostly do pet sitting I have the time and care when your animal is with me while your away . I have a space to walk the dogs and we have a park I can run around with them or just to sit in the sun.
About: As a lifelong pet parent to my own two dogs and cat, I understand that pets are family. My experience ranges from providing a "home away from home" in my own space to offering reliable, attentive care within yours. I pride myself on being a trustworthy and caring sitter who pays close attention to every detail of your pet’s routine. Whether it’s a long walk, a snuggle, or managing specific needs, I treat every animal with the same devotion and patience I give my own. As a nurse, my life is built around providing compassionate, high-quality care, and I bring that same dedicated mindset to pet-sitting. My part-time nursing schedule allows me the flexibility to spend large blocks of time at home, ensuring your pet is never lonely and receives consistent, attentive supervision. Because I have school-aged children, our home is a lively and loving environment where pets are seamlessly integrated into our daily rhythms. Whether I’m home for the day or visiting your house, my routine is centered on being reliable, present, and nurturing for your furry family members. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is maintaining your pet’s unique routine to ensure they feel secure and loved. In my home, your pet becomes part of our family, enjoying a safe, supervised environment with my own dogs and cat. In your home, I am meticulous about following your specific instructions, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. Drawing on my nursing background, I am highly observant of behavior and well-being, providing frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind. I focus on creating a calm, predictable atmosphere where every pet gets the individual attention and 'home-style' comfort they deserve.
About: I have had pets in my home since I was born, and currently have a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old back at home with my mom now. I fostered a pup from ACCT Philly for a few months, volunteered at the Humane Society, and often dog-sit for friends/ family. I have class every day for 1-3 hours, but I am open anytime outside of my class hours and have a super flexible, accommodating schedule. I follow their request and expectation for how their dog is to be treated and cared for, while giving them appropriate attention and exercise. I ensure I am present to care for the dog and ensure all their needs are met.
“It was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter having recently adopted my dog. It was a great experience. Jay was great to work with and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with Jay.”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brandywine
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:)

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 Brandywine 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 2,227 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 .
