“Aaron and his great team were so very caring and thoughtful of our needs. They really took fabulous care of our dog. We saw that they were so knowledgeable and professional and we would highly recommend them. We felt so very comfortable with our dog in their care. They were wonderful.”
“Brian took such great care of Moe! It’s always nerve wracking to book with someone new, but Brian put us completely at ease. He provided updates and pictures throughout the weekend, and Moe had a great time playing with all of the pups. Thank you!!”
“I have used Rover for several years and have had some really good providers. However Juliana, Cooper, and Betty Boop are amazing and my Pup felt right at home. I can honestly say I have found Bubblez new home away from home. I can now travel and not get anxiety leaving my Fur baby. Juliana is warm, caring and loved my Pup as if she were her own. Bubblez did not come home disheveled which made me feel much better. I highly recommend Juliana! ❤️”
“Andres was wonderful. Great communication prior to the stay. He welcomes the dogs in his house. One of our dogs actually slept with him. I couldn't ask for anything more.”
“This was our first time working with Joseph and cannot speak more highly of him! Our golden retriever, Howdy, had a blast in Joseph’s care, and he kept us updated frequently with pictures and videos. Would highly recommend Joseph for anyone looking for a trustworthy Rover!”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Beth was amazing. This was the first time I was able to go away and relax knowing he was in good hands. My dog gets very stressed and she did a wonderful job getting him to eat and comforting him. I received updates and videos everyday. She is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her to care for your pet. We will definitely be using Beth when we need a pet sitter!!!”
“Needed a sitter last minute for my Saint Bernard Charlie for the week. Steffani and Josh were able to watch him with little notice. Within in the first couple minutes of meeting them during the meet and greet , I was very comfortable leaving Charlie with them. You can tell they genuinely care for animals. And Charlie was just as comfortable around them as well. All week they sent me videos and pictures and kept me updated. I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew he was in good hands. They treated him like he was their own. They will be my go to sitters for any future needs and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”
“I’m so happy to have found Laurie for my dogs. Every day I received a little message about what they did along with beautiful pictures of my pups. They looked so happy and comfortable in the photos that it made me at ease knowing they were in great hands. I’m very grateful to have found her and hope to use her again in the future.”
“Jason and his family were fantastic to work with from start to finish and I would definitely book with him again in the future. He was very easy to communicate with and completely loved our dog as a part of his own family. We received multiple updates and pictures. I highly recommend this family!”

“I’m very happy I found Rita. This was a last minute decision and it worked out very well. Princess was very well cared for while at Rita’s. Princess will be a repeat client for sure”

“Madeline was super kind and fluff sure seemed like she had a great stay with her! I received many photos and updates about how much fluff was enjoying hanging out in Madeline’s yard and going for walks.”
About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of dogs. While other kids watched Saturday morning cartoons, I watched shows about dog training and dog breeds. I grew up around dogs of all types and have always loved having one by my side. Our family recently lost our dog, and while I’m not ready to commit to dog ownership full time, I miss having one around and want to help other families. I have experience walking different types of dogs that have varying levels of leash skills, managing special dietary and medication needs and can adapt to their activity requirements. If you have a dog that’s used to being part of an active family, or at least around one, I could be a great fit for you. I shared availability that accommodates long weekend boarding needs. This is when I consistently work from home or am off so that I can be around and give your dog the best care. You can expect regular breaks and walks for your dog on my work from home days. On the weekends, I will include your dog in my family activities. While busy, I am at our home base a lot, and much of the activity involves walking the borough, going on mini adventures in nearby parks, or hanging at our house with friends. Including a furry guest into my family-centered lifestyle is easy (and fun!) for me to do. I have a fenced in yard, live in an extremely walkable neighborhood, and have a gated off mudroom when your dog needs a little more space or down time. My kids understand animal boundaries well for their age and are used to respecting their space. While they will not be responsible for your dog’s care, they will be around. My cat is suspicious, but typically tolerant of dogs once he gets used to them.

Very good excellent, send pictures, Very lovely to the dog. very clean environment. My Dog loves her. I will recommend anyone if they need a dog sitter. Very professional individual. I was very scared to leave my dog for the first time with anyone, but I will do it again thank you so much.
Andres was a great boarder for our dog. He accommodated us when I booked wrong and added a day at the last minute. There is a nice fenced in area in the shade for dogs to romp in. I received pictures of my dog who seemed comfortable at Andres’ house. I would definitely use Andres again for boarding.
I love having Nick and his family watch my two dogs. They always seem to come back from their stay happy and exhausted. His kids also seem to get along well with both my dogs. Its nice to know that when I do have to leave my dogs when I go on a trip that they are in a loving and caring home. I highly recommend Nick if your ever in need of a dog sitter.
We have been bringing our dog to Bronwen for a number of years. When we pull into Bronwen's driveway, Trixie jumps right out and runs to get into Bronwen's backyard without a backward glance. She loves going to Bronwen, and we get lots of updates. Trixie can be a picky eater, but Bronwen always gets her to eat. Trixie comes home tired and happy. Highly recommend Bronwen!
Beth was great with Maddy as always! So happy we have found someone we trust to watch our sweet girl, we know she is in good hands when she’s with Beth. This last visit was almost 2 weeks and Maddy needed daily medications for her arthritis and a UTI - Beth religiously made sure Maddy took all her meds every day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Claymont on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,027 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Claymont. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Claymont sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Claymont landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Claymont home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Claymont.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Claymont sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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 DE 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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
