About: I will treat your pet like family and make sure they are happy and well taken care of. I want to be someone you and your pet can rely on. I’ve dog/cat/house sat for many people many times and I’ve built a connection with each human and animal different than any other. I work as a caretaker, so I’m available at different times, but it’s flexible. Right now, I would be available for 3 visits a day and would only be away from the house during house sitting about 4 hours a day. When caring for a pet, I try to read their expressions to understand what they need/want. I will keep them entertained when they want to play and leave them alone when they want to be left alone. I will make sure they’re safe and happy. I like to walk, play, relax, talk with any pet I’m with.
About: With over two decades of experience in canine care, I've cultivated a deep understanding of dog handling and care that empowers me to make a positive impact. Starting as a 10-year-old caring for neighbor's dogs with twice-daily walks, I've consistently demonstrated reliability and dedication. Growing up with Golden Retrievers and now sharing my life with a standard size Goldendoodle named Penny, has not only strengthened my love for animals but also taught my children the value of compassion. My family, including my husband, two children, and I, along with Penny, are committed to providing your dog with constant companionship, attentive care, and a nurturing environment. Having trained dogs in basic commands and upheld the highest standards of pet care, I'm confident in my ability to unlock the full potential of your dog and provide exceptional care. Hi my name is Katie. As a full-time homemaker, my schedule allows for seamless integration of pet care responsibilities. Given my consistent presence at home, managing a routine that includes our current pets - a goldendoodle and a turtle - along with caring for our two children, is quite manageable. Consequently, incorporating additional pets would not significantly impact our existing schedule. I have a spacious yard of nearly an acre, which is not fenced. However, I am happy to walk your dog on a leash if required. My own goldendoodle and two children will ensure your dog has a fun time, and we have a variety of toys available. Additionally, if your dog requires solitude, we can provide a quiet space. During summertime we will have doggy pool available for your pup to cool off in.
“I didn't have to worry about a thing with Lisa taking care of our cats. Lisa stopped by for drop in visits every day. She was on time, communicative and successfully got our one cat to take his meds. I would highly recommend Lisa for pet sitting!”


“Tonya was great! She was available last minute after our planned dog sitter fell through. She checked in, sent messages and pictures every time she stopped by to care for the dogs. We were grateful for her care of our pups!”


“We had a fantastic experience with Shelley. As new puppy owners, we were nervous about leaving him home during the workday, but Shelley quickly put us at ease. She came twice daily, kept him active and happy, and treated him like her own. It was obvious from the beginning that she genuinely cares about animals. She was always on time, easy to communicate with, and very dependable. We came home each day to a happy puppy, which says everything. Highly recommend!”


“Jill is wonderful, thoughtful, and attentive. She is incredibly detail oriented and knows when to call. I am so happy we found her and look forward to working with her again. Thank you Jill.”

About: Hey fur parents, looking for a best friend for your pup? Look no further! Over the years of being a teenager I worked several jobs that included boarding, daycare, and grooming. My love for dogs is unexplainable. I have two english bulldogs myself and treat every dog like my own. I am a full time college student. That being said, I only have certain sections of the day that I am not available. If you are willing to work with me, I will do everything I can to work with you! I have two english bulldogs and love to cuddle them! Since they are bulldogs they do have tail pockets so after every potty session there is a booty wipe after. Dogs are just like children, each have their own unique personality. I love meeting and learning how to understand each fur baby!
“Martina was such a caring and nurturing being. She respected my house hold and my belongs, but most importantly she took well care of my pet. Tank is a lover and she def treated him with plenty of it. She followed directions, texted and called when she had questions, and locked up once she departed. I would recommend anyone else to get her to watch or drop in on your pet! Thank you again Martina??”

There are dog parks and hiking trails near me where I can take them if necessary. I also have a 6 year old labradoodle named Ella who loves meeting and playing with new fur friends.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Christiana
Emilee was amazing with our two girls! We had her do drop-ins 3x/day for a week while on vacation, and she did great! Always sent photos and updates and spent time hanging out and snuggling with them. We had no doubt they were being well cared for by Emilee, and we will definitely use her in the future. Couldn't ask for a better experience!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Christiana 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 to 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.
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 Christiana 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 are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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.

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 Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Christiana with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
