“She was amazing and I’ll always come to her if I need someone to take care of Maverick. She made sure my puppy who is 5 months was introduced to the other dogs slowly and comfortably. She sent me many updates, photos and videos. I had someone cancel on me last minute and she responds right away. I’m very happy and recommend her to anyone using this app! She also has a lot of availability, flexibility, a yard and ensures the puppies needs are being met. She made sure all my questions were answered and that I was confident to put Maverick in her care!”

“Diana was great with my girl Mango. Mango warmed up to her right away. She came home happy and calm after spending the day with Diana and her pup Mia. Will definitely be booking Diana for care again!”

“We are so appreciative that Ollie is able to spend time with you! He is so happy to go and we are reassured, while at work, that he is having a great day!!!”

“Jennifer was great to watch our dog while we stopped into a friend’s house over the holidays. Her communication was great and we could tell when we dropped Tyson off that he was in good hands. Would definitely use her services again!”

“Yarinka and her family took amazing care of Rosie! They sent so many updates and photos and communicated with me frequently throughout the day. I will definitely be asking them to watch my dog again :)”

“Had a great experience with Angela and her family! They have the calm temperament and lifestyle that my doggy needs and sent me many photos/videos throughout their time together. Definitely will be a consistent customer!”
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.

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.
“My girl Daisy is a beagle who loves to chase anything that moves! Kollin and Emmalee have an older precious kitty who I had some concerns about. Kollin was receptive to having Daisy stay, and not 10 minutes after I dropped Daisy off, I received a video of their first meeting, which was a huge success. I very much appreciate that as it made my trip so much more enjoyable. I could tell during our initial Meet and Greet we had found not just a safe place, but a fun one. Daisy was in great hands with Kollin, and Emmalee, and we will definitely become repeat visitors!”

“Karyna was amazing with my girl Belle. As a rescue, Belle can be a bit anxious and excited at times. Karyna made sure to comfort her in all the ways she needed. Walks outside, cuddles, playing with toys. She did it all. She sent regular photo/text updates throughout the day as well so I never had to worry. I appreciate Karyna's kind nature and would feel comfortable leaving Belle in her care anytime. ?”

About: I offer safe, loving in-home boarding in a calm environment with a secure backyard for supervised play. I have two friendly dogs, a mini poodle and a bichon, who are well socialized and gentle with other dogs. I keep routines consistent with regular walks, feeding schedules, and lots of attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for. My home is clean, structured, and designed to be a relaxed home away from home. If you’d like it a little more playful or a little more premium, I can adjust the tone for you 😊 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding times, and play sessions, and I’m used to maintaining consistent schedules. I work in a structured way, so I can easily incorporate drop-ins, walks, or overnight care while ensuring each dog receives focused attention and companionship. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets are supervised and never left in unsafe situations. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain clear communication, and provide updates for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.
“This was Lucy's first time staying with a non-family member and it went great. Babita was great - lots of updates and pictures showing Lucy having a good time. Thanks for such a wonderful experience.”

“Raegan always takes such great care of Willow! Willow is happy and eager to visit Raegan and play with the other doggos. We appreciate getting the photo and text updates, knowing our dog is comfortable, safe, happy, and well cared for. Thanks again, Raegan!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs my entire life, primarily large breeds, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my daily life. I understand their needs, routines, and personalities, and I am comfortable handling everything from energetic, playful dogs to calmer companions who just want steady attention and affection. I currently have a friendly poodle who is used to being around other dogs and helps create a relaxed, welcoming environment for visiting pups. I’ve always had dogs and have experience with poodles, Dalmatians, and Labradors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, including diabetes, seizure disorders, and Addison’s disease, so I’m comfortable with medications, routines, and watching for warning signs. I’m confident introducing new dogs and pay close attention to body language to ensure safe, positive interactions. My current poodle is well trained with excellent recall and is free on our farm, but visiting dogs are always kept safely on leash or long line unless otherwise discussed with owners. I also spend time at dog parks and have an invisible fence at the farm. Safety, supervision, and respecting each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities. I provide care both in my London home and, when appropriate and with owner approval, at our family farm. In London, dogs enjoy a safe, calm, and structured environment with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. At the farm, dogs have access to wide open spaces, fresh air, and safe, supervised outdoor time that many dogs absolutely love. I am experienced with feeding schedules, basic medications, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you are away. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels and will always flag anything that seems off. Whether your dog prefers couch cuddles or room to roam, I make sure their stay is tailored to what makes them happiest. I work from home many days each week and live very close to work, so I can easily pop home at lunch on office days. Our own dog is part of our daily routine, so feeding, outdoor breaks, playtime, and walks are built into every day. I always take our poodle for a 30 min walk. Dogs in our home are treated like part of the family. I follow each dog’s normal feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special instructions provided by their owner so they feel comfortable and settled. Dogs get regular outdoor breaks, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Our home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly, with lots of space to relax and safe areas for play. We do have a fenced yard and a pool but can make sure dogs do not go into the pool (our dog avoids it). I supervise interactions closely, especially during meals and playtime, and make sure every dog has their own comfortable place to rest. Because I work from home many days a week and I live close to my work. When appropriate and with owner approval, I can also bring dogs to our family farm, where they can enjoy fresh air, wide open space, and safe, supervised outdoor time. Whether a dog prefers quiet cuddles or room to roam, I adjust their care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home.
“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!”

“Catherine was the sweetest with me and my dog. I absolutely loved the communication, she updated me with videos and photos every hour and I could see how she loved taking care of Oliver during that time! ❤️”

“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.”

“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”

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.
