“Alissa was amazing with my golden retriever. She looked after him for a week and communicated updates, photos and even got him a toy. She went above and beyond as my boy had some separation anxiety and loose stools, and she knew exactly how to care for him and let me know right away. She left the home very tidy. I would 100% trust her with my pet again.”

About: I've had dogs since I was 16. I see our pets as family and our little soulmates. Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me, and I feel really comfortable looking after them. Would love to meet up and talk more about how I can provide you with the best service. Always open to feedback and advice! Let's make of this experience a great one for both you and me 😊 I'm currently working part time, and my schedule is flexible. I am a mom as well but my kiddos are big now. Would love to meet and care for your family member. I will take them for walks, feed them, clean and refresh water bowls & follow your guidelines. Also keep you updated on our adventures along the way!

About: Hi! My name is Megan and I have always been passionate about animals. I have taken care of a cat for a year and fell in love with taking care of other's pets. While I watched this cat, I made sure to play with her, clean her and her litterbox, and take her to appointments. I am reliable, responsible, friendly, and easy to communicate with. I follow directions explicitly, keep spaces clean, and am incredibly flexible. I would love to get to know you, your pets, and help out in any way I can! I am a graduate student at Western University. Outside of classes and occassional meetings, my work is largely remote and can be done anywhere. This means I am incredibly flexible and can easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I would provide excellent care to pets in your home. I am clean, responsible, and can follow directions explicitly. I am available to stay for long periods of time and can meet any needs your animal may have.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and young, energetic pets as well as senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I also enjoy teaching tricks and basic commands using positive reinforcement. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and routine and love making sure they get plenty of play, exercise, attention, and affection. I work full-time and receive my schedule about a month in advance, so I’m able to plan pet care well ahead of time. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your home on my scheduled days off or around my work hours. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to coordinate in advance to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained. When caring for your pet in your home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine. I’m respectful of your home and will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other specific needs. I understand that pets often feel most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, and I’ll give them plenty of attention, patience, and companionship while you’re away.

About: With over 4 years of hands-on professional experience in a veterinary hospital, volunteer experience with therapeutic riding programs and animal care organizations, and 10+ years of personal pet care experience, I bring a strong foundation in animal health, behaviour, and compassionate handling. My veterinary background has equipped me to recognize changes in an animal's behaviour or well-being, confidently care for pets with different personalities and needs, and prioritize their safety and comfort. Whether your pet loves energetic walks, playtime, or cozy companionship, I tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I treat every pet like family and strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience, giving you peace of mind while you're away! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy incorporating into my daily routine! On weekdays, I typically offer morning walks before work or school and evening walks afterward, depending on my schedule. Saturdays offer additional flexibility, while Sundays are generally my most available days for walks, drop-in visits, and extra attention. I understand that every pet and family has different needs, so I'm always happy to discuss scheduling and availability to find an arrangement that works for everyone. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that fits comfortably into your pet's routine! When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is maintaining their familiar routines and creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, medication routines, or simply providing companionship, I carefully follow each owner's instructions and tailor my care to their pet's individual needs. With over 4 years of experience in a veterinary hospital, I'm attentive to changes in behaviour, health, and comfort. I also have training in Pet First Aid and CPR, allowing me to approach pet care with additional confidence and preparedness. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect, providing attentive care, affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. For house sitting and extended care, I'm happy to discuss scheduling and any special accommodations your pet may require!

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: What sets me apart as a sitter is the personal experience and dedication I bring as Enzo’s mom. Caring for a French Bulldog has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s handling the energy of a playful pup, managing breed-specific quirks, or providing comfort and care to senior dogs, I’ve done it all with love and care. I’m also great at creating structured routines, training basic commands, and ensuring pets feel safe and happy in any environment. With me, your pet gets the same love, attention, and respect that I give to Enzo—because every furry friend deserves nothing less! As someone working part-time, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate focused time to caring for pets, ensuring they get the attention, love, and activity they need. I plan my day around walks, playtime, feeding, and any specific care instructions you provide. Whether it’s midday visits, morning strolls, or evening cuddles, I ensure each pet feels cared for and happy while you’re away. Caring for pets, just like I do for Enzo, is more than a task—it’s a joy and a priority in my life In my home: I create a warm, safe, and fun environment where your pet can feel relaxed and loved. With plenty of playtime, cozy spots to rest, and lots of attention, I treat every pet like family—just like I do with Enzo. I follow any special routines or dietary needs closely to keep your pet comfortable and happy. In your home: I respect your pet’s space and routine, making sure to maintain their normal habits to reduce stress. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship while you’re away. I keep your home secure and clean, updating you regularly so you have peace of mind. No matter where the care happens, your pet’s happiness and well-being always come first!

“Emily was fantastic! She house-sit my two puppies for a week, and they loved her. She really cared for them as if they were her own. Emily sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout the week, which was so reassuring. She also took great care of my apartment and went above and beyond to ensure it was clean and tidy for when I got back. Emily even stayed an extra couple of hours to watch the pups for me when my travel plans were suddenly delayed on my way back. She was excellent at communicating and staying flexible. I would highly recommend Emily for any of your pet-sitting needs. I know I will definitely be reaching out again, my puppies already miss her!”

About: I’ve taken care of, walked, fed, and watched my dogs throughout my life. I have four dogs currently, they’re the best! Whenever my family goes out of town, I watch the dogs for a few days. I’m in charge of giving the dogs their medications, feeding them, walking them etc. I would love to help others looking for someone to watch or walk their dog(s). I am in grad school every morning during the week except Friday. I’m free afternoons during the week most days and most weekends. If you’d like a more detailed schedule, I can discuss that with you because sometimes I have appointments or meetings during the week. I won’t be able to bring your dog to my house, but I would be happy to watch your dog at your place! I will ensure your dog has fresh water, food at mealtimes, I will let him or her outside frequently, walk your dog, play with them, and spend time with them.

About: I have lived and worked in a CKC Registered dog kennel growing up, very familiar with taking care of English Bulldogs and Frenchies specifically. I have also been a pet sitter for many family members with all different breeds, friends and coworkers over the years. I have experience with many dog breeds small to large, cats, small-animals and reptiles. I work part-time, I have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, hangouts, and home pet sitting for how ever many days may be needed in your home! I have a fenced in yard that is easily accessible even for a older dog that may have mobility issues, I am familiar with every dog park in the city, or I can take them on a hike through one of our many parks and trails. Keeping it laid back is also perfect, a roam around the neighborhood where you're located is a great option also!

FAQs for House Sitting - Delaware

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Delaware is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 290 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Delaware. About 86% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

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 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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
