“We brought our dog Rae for her first overnight visit with Jennifer and Winston and today picked up a happy and sleepy puppy so we know she had a great time! Jennifer was always quick to respond and sent messages to let us know how she was doing so at no point was I worried and was able to enjoy my night out. Will definitely be bringing Rae back for more play dates and overnight visits in the future. Thank you for everything, Jennifer and Winston!”
“Hillary was great looking after Luna and it was a fantastic first time using this service. Communication was good with pictures sent each day. It was nice to see Luna having a fun time while in Hillary's care. We woukd definitely use her again.”
“Lea was amazing with my cat. He's normally very shy and hides the whole time, but she convinced him to come out! Her home is very clean and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Joyce is fantastic!! I’ve never left my Bailey with anyone & was nervous about the whole thing. But after communicating & meeting Joyce the nervousness subsided. She sent me updates & pics and it made me very happy to see my boy so happy. I would definitely recommend Joyce without hesitation and will be booking with her again!”
“Takes good care of pet. However, it is good note that she seems to take care of other dogs at the same time as far as I could ascertain … also, she has a very friendly golden retriever, which is good. My main tip to her is that she should take more videos and photos throughout the day of the babysat dog and interactions with her other dogs. Regardless of all the points mentioned above, the service isgenerally high quality. We would book her again.”
“Lynn and Jeff were great sitters for our frenchie Dozer. They were very responsive to our messages and Lynn sent pictures daily of a dozer to keep in touch with us while we were away. This is the second time Lynn and Jeff looked after Dozer and we felt comfortable he would be well taken care off. We will definitely be calling on Lynn and Jeff next time we need a sitter for Dozer.”
“Morgan took such great care of Ollie while we were away! He absolutely loved his stay, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, which we really appreciated and made it so much easier to enjoy our trip without worrying. It was clear that Ollie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. We would definitely book with Morgan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! ❤️”
“I cannot recommend Janet enough!! She was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of our Honey. She was excellent at sending photos and videos and updates. Honey was with Janet for 3 weeks and we knew without a doubt that she was being loved and cared for beautifully. Thank you so much Janet!!”
“Bernadett made Finnegan feel right at home and took such good care of him. She sent updates that made us feel comfortable knowing he was in a wonderful home while we were away. Don’t think we could have had anyone better watch him while we were away”
“Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth and Gary care for our dog like they do their own and it is such a relief knowing that our fur baby is so well cared for while we are away. The daily pictures and updates are fantastic and we love seeing what our dog is up to. Our dog becomes part of Elizabeth and Gary's family (along with their dogs) and we can see how comfortable our dog is with them both feeling right at home. Having our dog cared for in a home setting is important to us so that our dog receives the attention and care she is used to (being a higher anxiety dog). Highly recommend Elizabeth and Gary to anyone who wants their dogs treated as if they were their own while you are away.”
“Lama is not like any dog sitter we have ever had. She is amazing at what she does, she cared for Stormi as if she was one of her own. She went above and beyond any expectations we had. James Cairns.”
“Michelle did an amazing job with our goldens! She quickly adapted to their needs, and gave them so much love! We so appreciated the many updates with pictures and videos, and we were able to enjoy our weekend away knowing that they were well cared for. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using River and we were so happy to find Angela to look after Lily. Regular updates assured us that Lily was having a great time and being well cared for! We would not hesitate to book again!”
“Emily did an amazing job looking after Harley. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided. She sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel that our girl was being very well looked after. Thank you so much, Emily, for taking such wonderful care of Harley. We truly appreciate it and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 🐾”
“ZIH-YU looked after our 11 year old Belgian Malinois while we were away for a family trip. She was great with communicating and sending photos. She took excellent of our pup and treated him like family. Thank you so much!”
“They were very accommodating to my last minute booking. I’m very grateful they were able to look after Mac over the long weekend. Super friendly and very knowledgeable about specific dogs needs and took very good care of Mac.”
“Mohiny & Lucas O. were the best puppy sitters ever!! We met for a meet and greet and connected with them right away - we just knew they would take exceptional care of our pet. Their genuine love of animals was evident from the start. Our pet was very happy with them and enjoyed all the walks she took with Mohiny & Lucas O. Mohiny & Lucas O. sent us lots of pictures of our pet in action and kept us very well informed about how she was eating, resting, and playing throughout her time with them. We would happily have them look after our pet anytime knowing that she will be very well cared for and loved. Thank you, Mohiny & Lucas!!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Delaware 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 favourite hang-out spots in your Delaware
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
