About: I grew up with dogs my whole life (Rottweilers, Standard Poodles, and Shih Tzu). I have cared for my bunny rabbit for 10 years and my senior shih tzu for 3. I love animals and treat them kindly and respectfully. Your pet will be safe and happy with me! I am available on Saturday afternoons to Sunday (available all day Sundays!) for overnight boarding. I am available before 8:00 AM, from 12:00 PM - 1:00, and after 5:00 PM during the week for a walk or visit. I live in a two bedroom, non-smoking apartment. The apartment complex is dog friendly. There is a fenced dog park and large yard for walks. My 10 year old shih tzu uses steps to get on the couch so those are available as well.
“Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine. My mom's dog absolutely loves her and whines at the door when he realizes that she's arrived. Margo is also great with my elderly mom. Hire her! You won't regret it.”
About: I grew up with dogs from a young age and fell in love with taking care of them. As I got older and went to school, I was always happy to help friends and neighbors to look after their pets as well. Now, I’m happy to say that I’ve been a dog walker and pet mom for three years! I currently work full-time, but my schedule is variable and I’m more than happy to work pet care into my schedule. Whether it’s a walk or drop-in, I can usually find time to help! In your home, your pets know what’s best and most comfortable. I do my best to work with them and adjust to their needs accordingly based on what’s available and familiar to them in your space.

I have a full time job from Monday to Friday but I have I some flexibility in the mornings and afternoons and can also adapt for different times if known in advance. I am free in the evenings and weekends as well.☺️ I can take care of multiple pets at a time in their owner’s house. Depending on dog’s breed, 1 big dog at a time, 2 medium dogs at a time and up to 4 small dogs simultaneously. Usually no limit to number of cats, it is case by case.
“Matt is very reliable and good with my dogs!! Matt has even gone the extra mile when I had asked him last minute to let my contractor in when I wasn't able to leave work! Glad to have found Matt when I moved to this area!”
About: I have several years of experience working in an animal hospital as a veterinary technician, where I cared for pets with a variety of needs and learned how to recognize changes in behavior, health, and comfort levels. My veterinary background has given me the skills and confidence to provide safe, attentive care, including administering medications and noticing when a pet may not be feeling their best. Outside of work, I’m a proud pet parent to two doggies and two wonderful cats, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I treat every animal like they are my own—with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, medication support, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, I’m committed to providing dependable and personalized care.🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely full-time from 2:30 PM–11:00 PM, which gives me plenty of availability in the mornings and early afternoons to dedicate time to animals. I would love to use that time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m a responsible and caring pet owner myself, and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets. I enjoy creating a calm, comfortable environment and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment where they feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and any special preferences they have. I treat every home and pet with respect, taking the time to build trust and make sure each animal feels comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and needs to help prevent any safety concerns.
About: I'm an experienced vet assistant, and have 4 fur babies of my own! Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and petsit their pets for years. I have a diabetic cat, and am experienced with giving insulin, and administering other medications to cats/dogs. I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant. I'm available during my lunch break, most evenings and weekends to provide quality pet care 🙂 I'll walk your dog and clean up after them during the walk. I'll make sure there's enough food & water for your pet, and clean their bowls as needed.

Beth did such an amazing job and was so patient with Betsy who can be very shy at first. Beth went the extra mile and came and met Betsy ahead of time to make her more comfortable. She sent updates of their walk and showed so much care towards Betsy. I highly recommend Beth, she is great with dogs and is a very reliable and outstanding dog walker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Claymont on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Claymont. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Claymont.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Claymont. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
