About: Caring for dogs is more than a task—it’s a joy, a responsibility, and a love I carry in my heart every day. I understand that dogs are not just pets—they are family, companions, and a source of unconditional love. Leaving them behind can be hard, and that’s why I dedicate myself to making every dog feel safe, cherished, and truly at home. In our home, your dog will never feel alone. With me and my two boys, Evan and Aram, your dog will be welcomed with warmth, gentle attention, and endless love. My boys adore animals, and together we create a home full of laughter, play, and tender care where every dog feels seen, valued, and comforted. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs: • 🐶 Puppies – guiding them gently, building trust, helping with routines, and celebrating every small milestone • 🐕 Adult dogs – keeping walks, meals, and playtime consistent, while giving them attention, companionship, and mental stimulation • 🐾 Senior dogs – providing slow, loving care, cozy rest, and gentle support to make every moment comfortable and reassuring What truly sets me apart is the heart and family environment I offer. Your dog will not simply be watched—they will be included in our lives, treated like a beloved member of the family. I focus on: • Listening to their needs, understanding their moods, and giving love in exactly the way they need it • Following their daily routines to provide consistency and comfort • Creating a calm, safe space where they can be happy, relaxed, and loved • Offering endless cuddles, play, and bonding moments Our home is designed for your dog’s happiness and safety: • A large, fully fenced backyard where they can run, explore, and play freely • Indoor comfort where dogs are always welcome on furniture and beds, giving them warmth and closeness • A loving, family environment filled with patience, attention, and understanding I know leaving your dog in someone else’s care is a leap of trust. That’s why I promise to care for them as if they were my own—giving them love, safety, and comfort in every single moment. Because to me, this isn’t just dog sitting… it’s creating a second home where tails wag, hearts feel safe, and your dog knows they are deeply loved. ❤️ ✨ Where every bark is cherished, every cuddle is returned, and every dog feels like family. ✨ Pets thrive on love, attention, and consistency—and that’s exactly what I provide every day. In our home, caring for your furry family members is seamlessly woven into our daily routine, so they always feel safe, happy, and loved. A typical day with your pet includes: • Morning cuddles & care: Greeting pets with love, feeding, and letting them stretch and play after waking • Playtime & exercise: Dogs enjoy walks in the yard or around the neighborhood, while cats get cozy play sessions or window-watching time • Quiet & rest periods: Calm, peaceful time for napping, grooming, or simply feeling safe and comfortable • Attention & bonding: Evan and Aram love spending time with pets, giving gentle hugs, brushing fur, or playing interactive games • Meals & health check: Following your pet’s feeding schedule, keeping litter boxes fresh, and checking for any signs of discomfort or illness • Evening relaxation: Cozy snuggles, calm interaction, and pets are always welcome on furniture or beds for comfort and security I adjust our routine to fit your pet’s specific needs, so they feel at home whether they’re active, playful, or need extra calm time. Consistency, patience, and gentle attention are at the heart of every day. Because to me, pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s part of our family life, and your pet becomes part of it too. ❤️ The safety and comfort of your pets is my top priority. I understand that leaving your furry family members behind can be stressful, so I create an environment where they feel safe, loved, and completely at home—whether in my home or theirs. In our home, pets enjoy: • A large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can run, play, and explore safely • Plenty of indoor space to relax and feel secure • Freedom to be themselves—cats and dogs are welcome on furniture and beds, just like they are at home • Gentle supervision and attention from me and my boys, Evan and Aram, who adore animals and help create a warm, caring environment I also focus on trust and routine: • Following your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, naps, and playtime • Keeping their environment calm and stress-free • Monitoring health and well-being closely, and reporting any concerns promptly • Using positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance with all pets When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as respectfully as my own. I ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable space while maintaining routines and leaving your home exactly as I found it. For me, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s about creating a place where your pet feels safe, loved, and happy, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. ❤️
“Yarinka and her family were absolutely amazing with my girl Belle. She was a little nervous to stay somewhere new and Yarinka made sure to make her comfortable with lots of love, walks, homemade treats etc. Yarinka sent regular updates as well. I would absolutely recommend Yarinka and her family.”

“This was our first experience using Rover and we can’t be happier with Angela and Luis. They made me feel reassured with lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and I was happy to pick up a tired and happy puppy at the end of the day! They are so kind and understanding and I hope they’ll watch Henry again :)”

“Ollie knows his friends Rugile and Eimos very well now. When I got his doggy daycare bag out this morning, he was jumping up and down with happiness! He is now having a peaceful nap!”

“Jennifer was and is awesome felt very comfortable leaving Rusty with her. It felt like home and he was a happy dog tired but very happy when he got home. I would not hesitate to have Jennifer again”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. Currently, I have a 2-year-old dog, and I've cared for small, young, big, old, and even sick dogs, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it's administering medication, providing gentle senior care, or keeping up with energetic pups, I’m dedicated to making every pet feel safe and happy! As a Western student with no classes during the summer, I have a flexible schedule to provide attentive pet care. Plus, when I’m out, my parents are home all day, ensuring your pet is never left alone. Your furry friend will always have company, care, and plenty of love! "In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention. I make sure they have regular walks, playtime, and a cozy spot to rest. If needed, I can follow any special routines, including medication or specific feeding schedules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort by sticking to their usual routine. I ensure they get fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. Whether at my place or yours, I treat every pet like family
“Have brought my puppy to Mary a couple times now, he had a wonderful time! Mary was very responsive, reliable, and my mind was at ease leaving my puppy with such a kind caring person. Ace was very happy to go see her and was happy when we picked him up. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thanks for taking care of our little guy.”

“Amazing!! I loved how many pictures and videos Alexandria sent me it was very comforting knowing Leo was happy! She is very communicative and extremely understanding as we were running late and she was great about that! Will be going to her again 100%. Also she kept Leo busy all day so he wasnt anxious.”

“I was initially very nervous at the thought of leaving Nora with someone while I go to work! Nora and I met Kollin, his girlfriend, and their fur babies for a meet and great, and I was immediately reassured that they would be a great fit for Nora. Nora loves playing with their fur babies and Kollin keeps me updated with videos, photos, and messages throughout the day while she is in their care. I look forward to having them look after Nora I’m the future!”

“Brittany was great! Very much appreciated the cute pictures of our dog enjoying the stay and when my dog was excited to see her on her next stay I was sure Mikka enjoyed her time too. My dog is slow to adjust to new people so it was great that Brittany was patient through it used to this behavior.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shaz and her daycare! From the moment I dropped off my puppy, Juno, I knew she was in the best hands. Shaz is incredibly loving, attentive, and dedicated—she truly cares for the dogs as if they were her own. She provided me with the most detailed updates and an amazing record of Juno’s day, including tons of adorable pictures! If you’re looking for a daycare where your pup will be treated like family, this is the place. Thank you, Shaz, for taking such amazing care of Juno!”

“Very responsive, and kept me updated on the dogs. They didn't seem to have any issues with being taken by him, and they seemed happy when I picked them up. Would recommend and will use again if I need a dog sitter!”

“Brooke was so accommodating, and welcoming. I’ve never had anyone other than family watch Ace before but her reviews spoke volumes and I stand with the rest of them. She’s great, looked after my pup. Was so prompt with responses and so helpful. It’s always a relief to know your pup is in safe hands. Thank you Brooke for amazing care and the cutest little pictures. We are so grateful”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a beloved family member. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I am patient with shy pets, energetic enough for active dogs, and attentive to the needs of senior pets who may require extra care and gentleness. What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel at home and give you complete confidence that they are in caring, responsible hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have the flexibility to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether it's an energetic dog that needs lots of exercise, a senior pet that requires extra attention, or a pet that simply enjoys company, I can adapt my day to meet their individual needs. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also provide frequent updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. My top priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I create a calm, secure, and stress-free environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect the pet’s established routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medications, crate use, and any specific behavioural needs. I also ensure doors, gates, and access points are always secured during visits and walks. I take the time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially if they are shy, anxious, or need extra reassurance. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly, and safe environment with constant supervision. I ensure there are no hazards, provide a comfortable space for rest, and give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Across all services, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners and provide regular updates, photos, and messages so they always feel confident that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've volunteered with pet value to take care of cats. I am new to the platform but have experience of helping my friend take care their cats while travelling. Living with two adorable cats together. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your adorable pets! Please contact me 1 day before to make sure we both not in rush;) I provide detailed and attentive care, taking time to communicate closely with each client about their specific needs. I carefully follow instructions, monitor each pet’s behavior and health, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”

There are 204 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Delaware. About 86% 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Delaware commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
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.
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 ON ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
