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: Since getting my first pet at the age of 4 years old, I have continuously been surrounded by all types, sizes, and breeds of pets in my family home. Over the past 10 years or so have accumulated experience in petsitting from young energetic puppies and kittens who need all day play to elderly dogs and cats who need daily medications and special routines around the clock. Its safe to say I have loved every experience I’ve had around these pets and I also want to note I am fortunate to have a connection to an on call vet tech that will be able to assist me if you or I have any questions regarding the health of your pet in my care. With my athletic background and energetic personality you can ensure that your animals will be consistently walked, played with, and well taken care of. :) Please note that although I do work, my schedule allows me to be very flexible so that I can ensure I maintain your pet as a priority! :) You can ensure that your pet will have my full attention to make sure they are safe and well taken care of while you’re away!
About: I love dogs and going on long walks; it’s the best of both worlds! I have worked with dogs of various ages, energy levels, and behaviour. Whether your dog likes to run, play, and walk for hours, or just likes to chill with a pal, I got it! I have worked with puppies and older dogs, reactive dogs when other dogs are near, feeding dogs medication, beep collars, crate-trained dogs, etc. I’d love to meet your fur-friends, learn more about them, and will happily accompany them on walks and play time! I am currently working part-time, more so in the evenings, so I have plenty of time from early mornings til 2-4 that I can walk your pups and provide pet care. As it is only part-time, I am still able to work evenings sometimes! I am in school from Sept.-April, therefore I have plenty of time for long walks and pet care now and am available to be your daily morning dog-walker! I do not offer pet care in my home, although am able to provide pet care in a clients home! All of my pet care experience has been in other people’s homes, whether it was dropping in for a potty break, quick walk, or a long walk, even last minute! I have also provided pet care staying overnight in a client’s home for a minimum of 1 night-2.5 weeks. I may not be able to get time off of my part-time job when staying in a client’s home so I hope it is okay if I am gone for 4-8 hours in the evening for a couple of the evenings, if it falls on the days I am scheduled. I have always made sure to time out feeding and walks according to my work schedule when needed.
“Thanks again Katherine! It’s so comforting to know when we leave our fur babies for longer periods of time that they are well loved and taken care of by you. It lets us enjoy our time away alleviates any of our concerns.”

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: What sets me apart from other sitters is the amount of care and attention I give to every dog. I’ve always had a love for dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I have a chocolate lab who is six years old and my best friend. I’m also very reliable, patient, and understand how important it is for owners to feel comfortable leaving their pets with someone they trust. I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and treated like family. I am available to care for your pet right in the comfort of your home, making things easier and stress-free for both you and your pet. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, given fresh water, and get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime. I also follow any specific instructions provided, including medications or special care needs. My goal is to keep the pet safe, happy, and relaxed in their familiar environment while their owner is away.
“Lidiya was amazing! She took such great care of Aspen. I was very anxious leaving her as this was the first time i’ve ever been away from her, but Lidiya sent me so many photos and notes about her! She even went above and beyond and unloaded some groceries that got delivered while i was away. Will definitely book her again in the future.”


About: What sets me apart is my background in dog training and working with service dogs. I understand canine body language, behavior, and positive reinforcement training, allowing me to provide care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I have experience working with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and training levels, including puppies, active dogs, and dogs with special needs. Whether your pet needs a structured routine, enrichment activities, training reinforcement, or simply lots of love and attention, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a part-time teacher and dog trainer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Caring for animals is already a central part of my daily routine, and I enjoy providing reliable, personalized care that helps pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. 🐾 I provide care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my own home, I care for a service dog, a scent dog in training, and five rescued cats, including cats with medical complexities. This has given me experience maintaining medication schedules, monitoring health and behavior changes, and providing specialized care when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard maintenance, medication administration if required, and plenty of companionship and attention. I also reinforce any training routines owners would like maintained and always prioritize safety, comfort, and low-stress care. My experience with dog training, service dogs, and medically complex cats allows me to recognize changes in behavior and respond thoughtfully to each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. 🐾🐱🐶
“Liandra took great care of our cat Pancake (3 years old) for 16 days over the holiday season. It was the first time we used Rover and we were very glad to have found her. Her daily updates were very informative with photos. It is obvious she cares for cats and that she made sure Pancake was safe and not too lonely while we were away. We would highly recommend Liandra for her calm demeanour and responsible attitude to other pet owners!”

About: I was a vet assistant as young adult. I was involved in the care of the animals in both routine situations and in more critical medical situations. Dogs are an important part of my life. I also have an affinity for cats and any domestic animals. I believe they enrich our lives as humans and are entitled to our care and respect. Recently retired so am available for my pet friends throughout the day and evening. I prefer 48 hour notice but will do my best to accommodate shorter notice requests. I have a fully fenced yard but also believe it's important taking dogs our for walks provided this suits the dogs temperament and the wishes of the owner. I adhere to the owners household and behavioral rules for the pet while in my care. I adapt to the needs and temperament of the pet by providing as much or as little in the way of cuddles and affection as your pet needs. I would be thrilled to meet and care for your pet!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was about 7, my family used to run a dog rescue and have had pets since then. I have a lot of energy to play or walk through the park and I live right by the Springbank dog park. I have trained, managed medications and strict feeding extensively for my elderly cats and have helped my older dogs with their mobility. I work full time from 7am-5pm every weekday except for Thursday. I have full Thursday, Sat & Sun availability, and every weekday available after 5pm. I have a large apartment, in a big complex with multiple fields surrounding as well as Springbank park and the dog park just down the street. I have a spare leash, tennis balls, frisbee and cat toys. My partner and I also administer medication and have a strict diet and feeding schedule for my kitty and I have extensive experience with these needs.

There are 490 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Delaware. About 80% 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.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
