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: 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 always loved being around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with them. I’m active, responsible, and dependable, and I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care while keeping them safe and happy. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions you have. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a student at Western University and have a flexible class schedule, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week for dog walking and pet care. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s regular routine. I also have several days with large breaks between classes, making daytime walks easy to accommodate. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding walking routes, routines, behaviour, or special needs. During walks, I’ll keep a safe distance from other dogs unless you tell me otherwise, as I understand that not every dog is comfortable around other pets and we can’t always predict how another dog will react. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention while always keeping their safety first.

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: 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: 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.

Alex is really nice and you can tell she really cares about animals and understands them and how to care for them. She looked after my 2 cats while I was out of town and right after our meet and greet I felt comfortable knowing they would be in her care. She is thorough and detailed oriented. She sent me videos, pictures, & updates on how my cats were doing each visit, and I never felt worried about them during my trip. I will definitely request to rebook with her next time I go out of town.

About: Animals have my heart more than anything else:) I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was little and make sure they all get love. I have had a cat for 8 years now and a puppy who is almost a year old. Training a puppy was a bit challenging at first, but it sure has taught me how to take better care of dogs. Some of the cats I've pet-sat for have been antisocial, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve love; they just need a different approach. I am currently taking a gap year so i'm mostly free during the day, though I do need to take care of my cat and dog:) When I have pet-sat at clients' houses before, I ask if I can come a couple days before I'm scheduled. That way I can meet the pets, and the client can go over what they would like me to do. For instance, when I have someone watch my pets, I have a list of everything that needs to be done, such as litter box or feeding.

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 done schooling and just waiting for my college graduation before I find work, so I am completely free during the week and weekends. 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: Hi, I'm Julia! Born and raised in London, ON, I've always had a deep love for animals- especially dogs. Growing up surrounded by furry friends, they quickly became a big part of my heart. My passion has always been spending time outdoors and caring for dogs. With years of experience walking and looking after dogs for friends and family, I understand how important exercise and companionship are for keeping them happy and stress-free. I pride myself on building bonds with every pup I meet, treating them with the same care and love I'd give my own. I couldn't imagine life without dogs and feel so lucky to share my days with them. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home which makes this convenient for everyone! I plan my schedule around walks and visits because we all know being with animals keeps us grounded, happy and active every single day! I treat every pet like my own with patience, safety and love. Whether we're walking, playing, or relaxing. From secure leashes to cozy home routines so your pup feels cared for and comfy the whole time!

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!

About: I am passionate about caring for animals and ensuring the best services to all varieties of pets. I have experience working with all ages, and many breeds of dogs/cats/mammals; both as my past pets and those of others that I have assisted. I have a large apartment style home where I maintain a safe and friendly environment. I will not leave your pet unattended, and I will ensure they have proper access to toys, food, water, and trips outside. I'm looking forward to meeting you! I work remotely and am lucky to have a flexible schedule so don’t hesitate to ask me about last minute boarding options or change of plans! The care I will provide to your pet(s) will be customized to their needs, whether they are very active & enjoy hikes (I enjoy the offleash dog park but completely understand it’s not suited for all dogs), or would prefer a slower and relaxed staycation on my couch :)

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.

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.
