About: provide dedicated, attentive care for your pets, whether through regular walks, check-in visits, or safe transport. I treat every animal with genuine patience and affection. I treat your home with complete respect and ensure a calm, safe environment for your pets, focusing entirely on their comfort, security, and well-being while you are away. Safety is my top priority.

About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at Middle Tennessee State University with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This means I am available often for your pets! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
“I asked Payton and Alexander to take care of my cat Maddie for the second time. Once again, they took great care of her, fed her, played with her, and gave her lots of love. It was comforting to know that Maddie was in really good hands. I highly recommend them!”
“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!”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I have 3 family dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I'm comfortable handling a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, loving environment where they can feel happy and secure. I currently work a part time job, but other than that I have plenty of time to make sure your pets are well taken care of I have experience caring for pets through dog walking and pet sitting. My responsibilities included feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering medications when instructed, and ensuring they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners were away. I also followed each owner's care instructions, maintained reliable communication, and treated every pet with patience and compassion.
“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!”

During the week I work full time but since I am an empty nester I can schedule time before I go to work in the morning to spend time with your fur baby / babies or arrive at your home right after work to either spend time or be there for an over night stay so they aren't alone.

About: I’m a first‑time pet sitter but a lifelong pet lover who has cared for my own animals with lots of patience and attention.

“Kayla did an excellent job taking care of our kitty while we were away! She was very responsive and always sent lots of pictures and updates during her visits. Our kitty can be a bit shy around new people sometimes, but she always came out to play when Kayla stopped in to feed her and give her love. We will definitely have her back to take care of our girl again!”
About: I’ve participated in taking care of animals since I was 5, and took on full responsibility since 11-12. My home has always been full of animals (mostly consisting of cats and dogs) and at most had 11! Usually it’s a pretty 50/50 split between the two. We’ve always rescued animals so they come to me in any shape or form, many kittens / puppies and many seniors! I would love to come by and see your fur babies! Sunrise to sunset, my schedule is very open to coming by and saying hello to any fur baby! I currently can’t work, so what better way to spend my time! Anything the client requests! I’m unable to host any animal visits, but I’m very open to traveling. The care will consist of any basic activities I’m needed to do, feeding, cleaning up any accidents in the home, managing the animals crate, playing with them and getting their energy out for a nice sleep afterwards, and anything else needed!
About: I was raised with cats and dogs my whole life. I’m now a dog mom of 3 (hubby is allergic to cats or we’d have a house full!) I’d love to be trusted enough to care for your animals. I currently work M-F, 8-4:30. My care would be before and after work and all day on the weekends. Your fur babies will be well cared for during the times I am there. I will follow your instructions and keep your pets on their routines so they are not out of sorts while you are away. Helping them, and you, feel comfortable is my goal!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 9, volunteered at an animal shelter for a few years, then spent a few more fostering sick puppies. I just moved back to Murfreesboro after a couple years doing some dog sitting in Las Vegas. I have an affinity for big dogs but I love every size and breed, and am more than happy to provide regular photos so you don’t miss them too much while you’re away :) I have an open schedule and am very flexible. I can spend as much time as needed with your pet and even take them for a drive if they enjoy car rides :) I like to stay active so I’ll make sure they get the exercise they need, but if they prefer to stay in and cuddle I am more than happy to oblige I live in an apartment with a year and a half old cattle dog sweetheart who loves to play, and a new high energy kitten who’s not scared of anything. Your pet, whether they’re in my home or yours will be very well cared for as I treat them as my own. They’ll get more love and attention than they could ask for

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!

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 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. 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 .

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.

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.
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.
