About: Been doing this since I was 18! Giving genuine care and attention to your fur babies isn’t taken lightly when I am trusted with them! I work part time right now and have a very flexible schedule! Willing to work out a schedule with you as well! Here to help you and your pets needs 😊 I provide in-home pet sitting at your home, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’m respectful of your home, follow your instructions carefully, and will keep you updated while you’re away with messages and photos!
“Cara is the BEST! My buddy Apollo is always happy to see her because he knows he’s going for his walk that he loves. Cara is always pleasant, great with Apollo and has concern for his welfare whether it’s too hot, if he can have a treat, or if he pooped haha! Cara rules!”

“Alex is awesome and we're lucky to have found her! She has excellent communication, was great with our dog, and had perfect availability for us. Even from the first time meeting Zoey, she seemed much more involved and responsible than most of the other dog walkers we've used. She was super patient with our dog even when she was jumping a bit, and she came right on time as we has requested. We will absolutely use her again!”

“Jordana is one of the best! She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable as we left our Stella for the weekend. She sent photos and videos. Kept in contact with me throughout her walks. 100% recommend and I can’t wait to book her again in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Ariel and I'm here to take care of your pet. I have owned at least one dog my entire life. I also had cats so I am a dog and cat lover! One of my own dogs was diabetic so I have experience with insulin injections and administering medicine to animals. From taking care of my diabetic pet, I am very reliable and on time as I know some animals must stick to their schedule. While I have my own personal experience with pets, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter in Wilmington. There I have walked dogs, taken care of puppies, cared for cats and other animals (there was once a cute pig named Hamlet). I love working with and taking care of animals. I treat my dog like a member of the family and more specifically like my own baby. I'd love to care for your member of the family too! I'll treat them as if they were my own so you know your pet will be in safe and loving hands. If you have any questions about me or my experience, please feel free to ask!
About: I have a lifetime of experience and have owned pets of all shapes & sizes from hamsters, ducks, chinchillas to cats & dogs. I'm skilled in administering medication and caring for elderly pets. I will care for and love your babies just like my own. If you have any questions feel free to reach out & ask! Between my fiancé’s and my work schedules, your pups won’t be alone for more than 4 hours at a time, so they’ll have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On weekends, I’m completely free and will be 100% devoted to your pups! ❤️ I’ll make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while they’re with me. I have a large fenced dog with two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. They’re welcome to lounge on the furniture & I have no problem crating if that’s what you prefer.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, and have had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age, and I’ve frequently cared for neighbor’s dogs. I’m very good with puppies as well as seniors. I have extensive experience caring for animals, including being a veterinary technician at a vet hospital. Im currently a full time college student, but with multiple long breaks between classes I’ll be able to care for your animals. On weekends, I have no classes so I’ll be available for your animals anytime. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I have a fully fenced in yard. I have two sisters who are full of energy who would love to play with any dog that will walk past them, as well as two friendly dogs

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, including working at a barn where I help care for 9 horses and give riding lessons, along with experience around dogs and other pets. Being around a variety of animals has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs while staying attentive and responsible. What sets me apart is that I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and staying calm in any situation. I’m confident with more energetic or nervous pets, and I’m also patient with older animals who may need a slower pace or extra care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any small changes in behavior to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part-time and spend time at a barn, but I plan my days around the animals I’m responsible for. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m good at sticking to a consistent routine that works best for your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m very aware of my surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated so you feel comfortable and know your pet is in good hands.
About: I've been caring for pets for almost 10 years, including about 8 years of experience with both dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of dogs—from big to small, energetic to laid-back, and everything in between! I love getting to know each dog's personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which gives me great availability for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to work around your schedule and provide your pets with the attention and care they need. I’ll always care for your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether we’re out for a walk, enjoying some playtime, having a meal, or simply keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Claymont is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 per walk.

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 Claymont. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Claymont after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
