“Sadie had such a great time staying with Laura. She is very skeptical about new environments; however, she was very comfortable and showed no signs of stress. I will be asking Laura to watch Sadie again in the future.”
“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job caring for our 6 month old pup. She communicated a minimum of 2x per day and always provided pictures with each communication. We will definitely be using Lindsey again in the future.”
“Another amazing stay with Claudia!! She was very patient with my picky dog trying to get her to eat. She sent lots of pictures and I could tell my Stella was having a great time!”
“Patricia seemed very caring from the very beginning. Her house is very spacious and her backyard is huge, with a lot of empty spaces for dogs to run around--that was perfect for our dog who is full of energy and loves to run around. Our dog stayed with Patricia for about one week. When I picked our dog up from Patricia's place, our dog was in very good spirits and showed a lot of affection towards Patricia, which must be because of the great care of Patricia. Patricia also packed everything neatly, which made the pick up very quick. The per-day fee was very reasonable as well. Overall, we are very happy and will use Patricia again.”
“Justin and Stephanie will absolutely be our new go- to pet sitters. The pictures updates they sent said more than a thousand words! Our pup was loved and exercised daily. They followed all instructions and kept us in the loop with everything. 100/10 amazing.”
“What a wonderful, stress-free experience we had with LaToya! Our sweet little dog is a bit on the anxious side, she's almost 11, but still becomes pretty nervous on the way to the groomer and vet. She's slow to warm up to new people, but surprisingly, she immediately took to LaToya! This literally has never happened, so I knew right away that it was a match made in heaven! LaToya was incredibly responsive, shared pics daily and provided updates about our little one's adjustment process and her week. Leaving our dog with LaToya felt like leaving her with family. We're grateful for that and excited to now have a very comfortable option for her new home away from home when needed. FIVE PLUS stars for sure! Definitely intend to use LaToya's services again and I highly recommend her without reservation! You will not be disappointed! Thank you LaToya!”
“Candace is absolutely wonderful! We live in FL, but we're originally from Delaware, and travel up there often. Candace is our go-to sitter. She has a wonderful personality, and she obviously loves our Boston as much as we do.”
About: We brought home our 1st puppy when our eldest daughter was 8 weeks old. Everything since then has been easy! Currently have an 8yr old Golden Retriever with a fenced in backyard. Each of our grown children took in a dog or puppy once they had their own homes. We have had cats, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs over the years. I'm recently semi-retired and my daughters have used Rover for their dogs in far away states. I thought it would be a nice way to give our dog a playmate every once in a while. We have a large fenced in yard which your dog can run around or hangout with our dog if they'd like. Our house is split level so there could be 6 stairs at time to go up & down. I love to walk our dog & listen to books or podcasts.
“I boarded my two dogs, Simba and Ghost, with Sunaina for five nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She took excellent care of them, followed all of my instructions to the letter, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It was clear that Simba and Ghost were comfortable and well looked after, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sunaina to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and caring dog sitter!”
“Just had our 2nd stay with Barbra and it was fantastic! She takes such great care of our dog and we will be using her anytime we can. I think our dog was very sad to leave with all the fun he had playing and roaming her huge yard. Highly recommend her services!!!”
“I have booked with Yvonne two times and she continues to provide an excellent environment for my dog Freda. Yvonne offers a well balance of indoor and outdoor time for the dogs and provides continuous updates while away from your pet to bring you comfort. 5 star treatment every time.”
“Beth was absolutely phenomenal! I'm from Iowa and had to come to New England for a wedding and to pick up my new puppy. However, I couldn't meet the breeder within his business hours. So, I found Beth. She took on the big adventure of picking up my puppy for me, holding her overnight, sending me a ton of pictures, and then meeting me at the airport to give her to me. I takes a enormous amount of trust for a task like this, and Beth was AMAZING. I could not recommend Beth more!! You can rest assured that your pets will be in the best care possible with Beth. If I lived closer, I would definitely use her services again!”
“We are new to the area and we’ve always had friends or family watch our pups. This was the first time we needed to use Rover. Nancy gave us a great first experience and I’m so glad we have someone we can trust to leave our pups with if we ever need to board again! She asked great questions to get to know our pups before us dropping them off and she kept us up to date everyday with plenty of pics and videos. Nancy was very responsive as well. We will certainly be reaching out to her for future needs. Thanks again Nancy!”
“Edgar was awesome!! Day was right at home as soon as he got there. He loved having a friend to play with during his stay. We received great updates with pics. Perk for me is he’s right around the corner. I’ll absolutely be using him again.”
About: Absolutely love animals! My neighbors and friends relied on me to take care of their animals. I also have my own animal and definitely want more! I’m currently a student at UD but basically have a part time schedule (tuesdays and thursdays) so most of my days are very flexible for taking care of your animal! I have a spacious place and a cat to keep your animal socialized. He is very friendly and likes to play and cuddle up all the time.

This was our first time using a dog sitter, and since this is our first pup, we really didn’t know what to expect. But honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She went above and beyond to care for our puppy as if he were her own. The constant photos and updates gave us so much peace of mind and showed us just how happy and well cared for he was. Claudia was professional, polite, caring, and an excellent communicator. The place was clean, and everything was just wonderful. If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would! We are so grateful we found her and will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog. Thank you once again Claudia. 😊
Lindsey is an amazing sitter!! She shows a lot of love to Chico and he loves her back. Chico came back to us clean, well fed and with no issues. Lindsey's children are very fond of him too. And I appreciate the fact that she sends me pictures of him at play with his furry friends every day. That keeps me at peace to know he's having an enjoyable stay.
This was the first time I used to Katherine to board my dog. I was nervous with a new situation but Katherine put me at ease. She has two dogs of her own and knows how to handle them! She asked a lot of good questions about how we do things and what my dogs like and was kind enough to put a warning on her front door not to walk right in because a dog might run out (my dog is a runner so I was nervous). She sent lots of pictures and my dog got way more exercise and outdoor time than he does at home! I highly recommend Katherine for any kind of dog sitting!
Paige is absolutely incredible! If you’re searching for a home away from home for your furry friends, look no further, Paige is the perfect choice. She excels at communication, providing regular updates with pictures and detailed descriptions of what the dogs have been up to, ensuring peace of mind at all times. Paige has also been very flexible in accommodating our schedule. She made sure our girls were well-fed, walked, and, above all, showered with love and snuggles. Our dogs enjoyed their stay so much that one of my huskies even tried to go back inside when we came to pick them up! I couldn’t recommend Paige highly enough!

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 Brookside 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 Brookside.
<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 Brookside 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.
