About: Hi! I’m a high school teacher who teaches culinary arts. At home, I have a golden retriever, Saffron and a Labradoodle, Leo. I live on 2 1/2 acres, one of which is fenced in and perfect for furry friends to run and play! I am a teacher and gone from 7 am to 3:30 pm, but my parents live next door and watch my animals when I am away. Growing up, my brother had a service dog who was part Great Dane and part Black Lab. He became part of the family! I think that’s what started my love for animals. Since college, I’ve had at least one pet. While in Culinary school, I worked long hours. For Christmas, I got my cat, Basil. She was at the door with a “meow” at the end of long days in the kitchen. When I began my career as a culinary teacher, I bought my first house with a back yard and almost immediately added my girls, Sage and Sketch to the household! I work full time as a high school teacher. but live next door to my parents who watch over my pets. They love them as if they were their own! I have an acre, fenced in back yard. My dogs love the country, running and playing in the back yard! They are house dogs, but love the chance to run as much as possible.
“Jennifer and Michael are fabulous and very accommodating with my schedule. They treat Mack like one of their own and part of the family. I would highly recommend them!”
“My dog loves going to Kelsey’s house for the day. We’ve been using her services for over a month and couldn’t be happier. My little guy comes homes with a smile and I love knowing he’s safe.”
“Jamie was a wonderful sitter ❤️ she was attentive and gracious and kept my puppy safe. Kuzco loved playing with her dogs and he was happy and well worn at the end of the day, which is hard to do with the puppy energy! Jamie was flexible with my last minute, changing schedule around the holidays and I am very thankful!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child and have spent my life around pets. Through years of owning and caring for dogs, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing daily care and companionship. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pup! My availability is open 7 days a week! I have a dog park in my community. Plenty of time for walks & playtime(indoors and outdoors) I can also crate your baby if needed.
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.
“Stephanie is fabulous. This was our 1st Rover experience. She made it a joy! She greeted us warmly and professionally as we drove into her driveway. She brought us into her home showing us where our Great Pyrenees would be, asked if she was allowed to have treats, about feeding her, as well as special needs. Recognizing she is a senior dog, she gave Stella an opportunity to explore before she slowly introduced her to the others she was caring for. We could enjoy our site seeing day out with complete confidence stella would be great. We received videos and pics off and on all day. Thank u Stephanie for making our visit so very special!”
“Cant say enough good things about Christian. She took care of Dobby like her own and was so accommodating with our schedule. I cant thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Spring Hill.”
“My pupper had a great day! I could tell that she was comfortable and happy. She was showered with lice and care the whole time. We will be visiting again for sure!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and proud Rover Star Sitter with four years of experience and consistent 5-star reviews. Caring for dogs isn't just something I do; it's something I truly enjoy. Long before I joined Rover, I was the go to pet sitter for my family and friends whenever they traveled. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I have experience with basic training, nutrition, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. Because I work remotely from home, your dog won't be left alone for long periods. I have the flexibility to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and, of course, plenty of attention throughout the day. I know every dog is different, and I do my best to keep their routine as close to home as possible. After losing my own sweet dog a few years ago, I kept all of her favorite beds, blankets, and cozy spots. Your pup is welcome to make themselves at home. Whether that's curling up on a dog bed, relaxing on the couch, or exploring my securely fenced backyard. Well behaved dogs are treated like part of the family while they're here. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your dog feels happy, loved, and well cared for from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. That allows me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day instead of leaving pets alone for long hours. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, dogs are treated like family. They have plenty of comfortable places to relax, access to my securely fenced backyard for supervised play and potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day since I work from home. I follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions (if needed), and any special preferences you have to help your dog feel right at home.
About: I’ve had my own pets for 34 years while also fostering for local rescues. I loved each as they were my children. My last 3 lived together and lived to be 16, 16 and 14. As they aged, they all needed special care. I am without pets at this time because I lost my last senior in April 2025 so I have lots of love to give. Life isn’t the same without fur in it and I would love to care for yours by sharing cuddles, kisses, playtime, walks, and whatever else is requested to make your fur child happy. I understand the stress in leaving a pet so rest assure, they will receive the best care and you will be kept up to date as you wish. I am home days and nights and make my own schedule. I am happy to work with your schedule to accommodate. Please don’t hesitate to ask! I have a 6’ fenced backyard but I always stay outside with them while they are out. I live in a 1 story home so no stairs to worry with (just 1 step off the outside back porch). I do have a large crate I am happy to set up if your dog prefers a crate but your dog is welcome to sleep where you know they will be most happy, including my bed. For those that may have short legs, issues with jumping, etc., I do have dog ramps for the bed and couch. Just let me know and I will set them up. It would be just me and your pets day and night.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Christiana commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 457 sitters in Christiana, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
