About: I'm basically the unofficial official dog sitter for my family and friends! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and animals have always seemed to find their way to me. My family jokingly calls me the "dog whisperer" because I'm usually the person you'll find hanging out on the floor surrounded by the pets at any gathering. I've had Golden Retrievers for most of my life and currently have a sweet 4½-year-old Golden named Nala. She's well-trained, friendly with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and joins me on daily walks, hikes, and swimming adventures. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including my dad's two Portuguese Water Dogs for weeks at a time, my sister's Fox Lab from puppyhood and into adulthood, and a friend's senior Husky/German Shepherd mix while they were away. I'm comfortable following routines, reinforcing training, administering medication, and caring for shy, anxious, or reactive dogs. Whether your pup needs exercise, playtime, a potty break, or just some company while you're at work, I'll treat them like one of my own; with patience, love, and lots of attention. Since I work from home I’m available for walks and drop-in visits during my lunch hour, after work, and throughout the day when my schedule allows. At home, I already plan my days around our Golden Retriever, Nala, including daily walks, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. We have a fenced-in, spacious, dog-friendly yard where pups can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. Nala is a friendly, well-socialized dog and is happy to join walks or visits when it’s a good fit. I also completely understand that every dog has their own comfort level, so I’m happy to leave her at home if a pup prefers their own space or isn’t comfortable around other dogs. I believe the best care starts with understanding each pet’s unique personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I’ll follow their normal schedule as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits and walks, I’m happy to help with whatever your pet needs; feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medication, playtime, enrichment, and of course lots of attention and affection. I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your furry family member is doing. I also know pets have their own special routines and requests. If your pup needs their dinner “gourmet prepared” (aka carefully mixed together just the way they like it), a little encouragement to finish their meal, or an extra kiss on the head before I leave, I’m happy to accommodate! The little things matter when it comes to making pets feel loved and comfortable. Every pet is different, and I’ll always prioritize what makes them feel happiest and most relaxed.

About: I bring over three years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, combined with volunteer work at therapeutic riding programs and other animal care organizations. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and compassionate handling. Whether it’s energetic walks or calm, cozy sitting sessions, I’m dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.

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.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Delaware maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Delaware walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 84% 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.
