“Our first time using this app/service and we could not have been happier. Jennifer was fantastic with our senior dog and kept in touch with photos and notes throughout the week. Highly recommend!”
“Trudie was great with Penelope and kept me updated with photos and texts to let me know how things were going while I was away. I could relax knowing my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I will definitely be booking Trudie again!”
“Joyce was fantastic with my 2 pups! I have 2 two year old bichon poodle mix from the same litter and at times they can be a funny handful. My husband and I had another sitter cancel on us last minute and Joyce was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond with my boys. Joyce has great energy and I liked her right away and could tell my pups loved her too and that’s all I could ask for! She lives very close to me as well so it was also a very convenient drop off and pick up for us. I recommend Joyce and will definitely inquire if she’s available next time we are in need 😁☺️Thanks again Joyce!!!”
“Brad provided exceptional care for Wizard during his 3-day stay. The personalized attention, and regular updates allowed us to travel worry-free. Wizard returned happy and well-exercised, clearly having enjoyed his time. Brad’s genuine love for dogs shone through, making this an excellent boarding experience. We highly recommend Brad’s services and will definitely use them again for future trips.”
About: I have been a passionate and dedicated caregiver for dogs of all breeds and temperaments since I was 15 years old. Having grown up with dogs, including my own Golden Retriever, Casper, and a German Shepherd I owned when I was 15, I have a deep, lifelong appreciation for the unique companionship dogs provide. My experience goes beyond just basic care; I am fully comfortable and skilled in administering both oral and topical medications. Neighbors, friends, and family consistently rely on me because they know I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I am supported by my two teenagers who also love dogs and enjoy helping out. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I pride myself on my patience, reliability, and ability to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you are away. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a senior dog requiring extra care, you can rest assured they are in loving, capable hands." Tips for your profile: Highlighting Experience: Mentioning your personal history with breeds like Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds builds instant credibility with owners of similar dogs. Adding Special Skills: Explicitly stating that you are comfortable with oral and topical medication is a major "plus" for owners of senior or special-needs pets. Family Support: Mentioning your teenagers shows that your home is a dog-friendly, active environment where their pet will receive plenty of attention. Would you like me to refine the headline for this new version? Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because our home is truly a dog-loving environment! I have incredible support from my family, including my two teenagers who absolutely love dogs and are always happy to help with walking, feeding, and playing. Additionally, my husband works full-time from home, which means there is always someone present to provide companionship and supervision. Because of this team effort, your pup will never be left alone and will always have someone to engage with, making it easy for me to ensure they receive consistent, attentive care even when I am out. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live in a spacious 5-bedroom house, providing plenty of room for your dog to feel at home. Outside, we have a large, secure space for play, including a big, fenced-in deck that is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air. Our environment is designed to be safe and engaging, and I am always happy to crate your dog if that helps them feel more secure or follows their established routine at home.
“She had experienced to take care of pets. My pet was not easy to care for but she totally could make him happy and get along with others quickly. We were happy to send my pet to her.”
“Angela and Luis were very attentive with our Mia and it was so comforting knowing that she was left in good hands. We really appreciated their updates and photos while we were gone, and it was clear that our dog was enjoying her time with them. Their love for dogs was evident from the start, we will for sure be counting on them for future trips!”
“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!!”
“Argento had a great time! It was so nice that you sent photos to show us how he was doing. He looked like he was smiling!! He got lots of walks and games of fetch - two of his favourite things. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
“Courtney is wonderful keeping in touch with daily reports and pics. We love to see Shilo running with hair waving in the wind! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!”
“Yoda provided loving and responsive care for our dog. It was our first time using Rover and what a great experience. She is a great communicator and kept us informed of how Piper was doing. We will definitely have Yoda care for Piper again. It is clear she is a true dog lover and has created a very welcoming space for dogs to be in her care.”
“Kollin and his wife are amazing as a person and even better as a pet sitter. My Dobie - Ajax stayed with them for 40 days. We got him back the same as we left him. They have 2 beautiful and friendly dogs. My dobie played with them for hours. I highly recommend Kollin for your pet sitting needs.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Catherine. She kept me updated with photos and videos of my dog Toby. Toby is usually shy, but he seemed very comfortable and relaxed with Catherine and her sweet dog Lovely. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book her again soon.”
“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. 🐾”
“Jianping treated my boy Teddy so well. This was Teddy's first time away from home and he came back to us happy and healthy. We were grateful for the experience Teddy had with Jianping and his family. I would consider them again and recommend to others.”
“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”
“Wolfgang had a lovely time with William, he made lots of new doggie friends and we got regular updates. The yard was nice and big, and William accomodated us for a last minute booking!”

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:
- 100% 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.
