He is absolutely the best! I couldn't think of anyone else taking care of Nana. Nana is shy, and he was able to create a great connection with her. I am sure she will miss seen him daily. Thank you so much Efrain!

About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of animals, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for animals that require medication and am comfortable following detailed care instructions. I treat every pet like family, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior who needs extra patience. I always follow their routine and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m a student and work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention while following your pet’s regular routine to keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout my stay.

About: Growing up, we always had pets in the family, and over the years I've cared for everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets with more specialized needs. What I enjoy most about pet sitting is getting to know each animal's personality. Every pet is different, and I like figuring out what each one enjoys most! I enjoy meeting all pets on their own terms. Over the years, I've gained experience with puppy training, recall, enrichment, senior care, and administering oral, liquid, topical, eye, and ear medications. I've also cared for pets with anxiety, seizure disorders, blindness, deafness, and reactivity, so I understand how important patience, routine, and consistency are. The biggest reason I'm on Rover is simple. I genuinely love being around animals. Since moving away for university, one of the things I've missed most is having pets in my everyday life. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. As a student, my schedule starting in September will be based on my course schedule. ***Calendar to be updated by August 25th, please inquire about specific dates directly until then*** My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away. I believe each pet is unique, so I customize my care to suit their personality and comfort level. If I'm staying in your home, I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy while you're away. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and doing well. Right now, I offer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I do not offer boarding.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and currently foster cats through a local shelter when available. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats through walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and fostering, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals. I’m happy to follow any routines, training methods, or medication schedules provided by owners. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I have experience balancing responsibilities and maintaining routines, so I understand the importance of consistency for pets. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or check-ins, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I occasionally foster cats for a local shelter, although I do not always have a foster animal in my home. If your pet is not comfortable around cats, feel free to ask and I’ll let you know whether I currently have a foster at that time. I have space for a crate if your dog is crate-trained and uses one at home. If your preference is for your dog to remain out of a crate, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain the environment and schedule your pet is used to. I live on a quiet residential street with a park just a short walk away, making it a great area for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will care for your pet with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own.

About: For the past 6 years, I’ve raised a Labrador retriever since he was a puppy, cared for dogs as if they were my own. I truly believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their owners are away. I have experience with energetic puppies who need patience and gentle training guidance, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra comfort, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel secure and happy in my care. My goal is simple: allow dogs to sniff & have fun during walks, tire them for good sleep & keep the tails wagging. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks and check-ins, so your dog gets steady care rather than rushed visits. Because I plan my week around the pets I’m caring for, I’m able to maintain their routines as closely as possible — feeding times, exercise, medication (if needed), and lots of affection. Caring for dogs isn’t something I “fit in” — it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy. I have a fenced backyard & a very friendly Labrador Retriever dog ready to play & we provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each dog’s regular routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, play sessions, and rest periods — so they feel secure and settled. For boarding and daycare, I make sure dogs get a healthy balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and quiet time. I’m attentive to their body language and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or need a slower, gentler pace. During walks, I focus on safety, leash manners, and giving them a positive, enjoyable experience. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the amount of care and attention I give to every dog. I’ve always had a love for dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I have a chocolate lab who is six years old and my best friend. I’m also very reliable, patient, and understand how important it is for owners to feel comfortable leaving their pets with someone they trust. I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and treated like family. I am available to care for your pet right in the comfort of your home, making things easier and stress-free for both you and your pet. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, given fresh water, and get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime. I also follow any specific instructions provided, including medications or special care needs. My goal is to keep the pet safe, happy, and relaxed in their familiar environment while their owner is away.

About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I am currently doing a work placement in Stratford and I am usually gone from 6:30 AM till about 3:30/4:00 PM during the week. When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child! I strive to provide nothing but the best love and care that I possibly can to all the fur babies out there. They are an extension of us, and our families. You want to trust the person you’re handing your kids off to for the day, and I hope I can gain that trust. I’m observant, and take animal care very seriously. I put my animal’s needs above my own, and I’d do the same for you and yours :) I have a flexible schedule that I am more than willing to work with you on. Whatever fits you and your pet’s needs the best! I am typically occupied between the hours of 11am and 5pm but can take home days as I please. Some evenings and weekends may be occupied, but are manageable with advance notice! I currently have a high energy Coonhound Lab mix. She gets walked at least 3 times a day for a minimum of 15-20 minutes, and upwards of 2 hours (at least once a day or every other day). She eats when her humans are home or she’s burned a bunch of energy. She is so loved, and loves to cuddle with us. She gets to roam out in the backyard as she pleases, and grazes the grass like a little bovine! Your pet will be treated no less than the best. I’m happy to cater to their specific needs in whatever ways I can possibly muster! Food, exercise, treats, regiment, etc I want make the best of our time together!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Delaware on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 466 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Delaware. About 81% of Delaware sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Delaware stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Delaware choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

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.

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.
