“Ginger was amazing! She really helped us out in a last minute situation and took great care of our dog. She sent photo updates which I really appreciated. We don't leave/travel too often, and the photos just showed us how happy our dog was staying with Ginger. She was comfy and clearly made some friends and enjoyed getting lots of attention! We plan to use Ginger again when we travel in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for a private sitter over a kennel.”
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.
“Heather was wonderful with Sauce for his overnight stay! She was very communicative from the start and made time for a meet and greet beforehand. Her home was lovely and very pet friendly, and she asked lots of questions to make sure Sauce would be comfortable, well cared for, and a good fit in her home overnight. While we were away, she sent pictures and kept me updated on how Sauce was doing and what he was up to, which gave me great peace of mind. Heather was super pleasant, easy-going, and clearly thoughtful about the dogs she cares for. Sauce seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would absolutely use Heather again.”
“Our pittie Luna loves staying with Joey. He takes phenomenal care of her and she loves playing with all her doggie friends. This is the 2nd time we have booked with him for long term stay for vacation(8 nights). He always updates us multiple times a day so that we know she is doing well. We hate leaving her so the updates give us peace of mind while we are away. Joey is the offical dog whisperer and we are very glad to have found him.”
“Jessica took great care of my girl Cora. She is super sweet and I could tell Cora made herself right at home. Her kitty was also part of the welcoming committee 😂. She was flexible on drop off/pick up times. I would definitely use Jessica’s services again!”
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! I’m currently on work leave and home full-time, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to providing your cat with the care, companionship, and supervision they deserve. I’m able to maintain their regular routines, give them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, your cat will receive plenty of one-on-one attention while they’re in my care. I grew up with a cat and have continued to care for cats through fostering over the years. While I’m unable to board your sweet kitty in my home because of my dogs, I’d be more than happy to come to your home and provide them with plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never short on cuddles while you’re away
“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.”
About: I have a house where I can provide individual or group care for dogs. I co-own a dog named French Fry, who has been a significant part of my training experience. I am available for boarding on weekends, starting Saturday morning and continuing until either Monday or Tuesday evening. Additionally, I have availability during certain holiday periods. I have a partially fenced-in yard and a metal crate available for dogs if needed. I follow any instructions that pet owners provide. I have a peace and calm environment for dog care.
About: I don't just watch dogs—I welcome them into my family. Every pup receives personalized attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I work for the Red Clay School District, so I have weekends, holidays, and summers off. My typical work hours are 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and my school is very close to home, which allows me to come home during my lunch breaks. I make it a priority not to leave the pups home alone for more than four hours at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family. I have a fully fenced yard, two friendly Shih-Poos who love making new friends, and a calm, loving environment. I'll follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions, so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away.
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“Danita and her family were amazing with our dog Finley. She updated us frequently and sent photos of our dog settling in and getting comfortable. I knew our dog was in good hands, was well taken care of, and got plenty of walks and belly rubs. I would 100% recommend Danita to care for your dog!”
“Jason and his family took such great care of our beloved 10-year-old dog Ella while we were away! Communication and coordination were seamless. It was clear right away through pictures and videos Jason sent that Ella was feeling right at home and was so loved and well taken care of! We are so thankful to have found Jason and his family as they are clearly dedicated to doing such a great job taking care of pets. Will definitely be rebooking soon and would give 10 stars if I could! Thanks again, Jason and family!”
“Juliana did an awesome job! She was the first sitter for our puppy and we could not be happier with how things went. We will definitely work with her again. She kept us up to date on her activities and kept our little one on schedule and busy. 💕”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“This was my families first time using rover as my family needed urgent boarding for our babies Kayla and Khole. This was their first time being away from us and they are both very shy. Despite this Andreah A was very pleasant, responsive, understanding and she did her best to accommodate what our babies needed during their stay. I appreciated all of her wonderful pictures and updates of both of our babies during the time we were apart. I'm definitely looking forward to booking with Andreah very soon. Andreah thank you so much for the last minute booking and the wonderful care of our little Khole and Kayla.”
“The absolute best rover! Extremely communicative and we knew our dog was in great hands entire stay. We appreciate the attention to Myla! We also felt very comfortable leaving Myla in Kate's hands during thunderstorms (which she is scared of) due to Kate's previous experience, and Myla did great. Thanks so much. 10/10 !”
“Alyssa and Marcus are the absolute best! Sam always has a wonderful time with them and Zara! They are his second family and the excitement he has when we pull up to their home is unbelievable. It warms my heart every time.”
“Extremely happy with how happy my senior dog came home. She had a happy tail which doesnt happen alot because she does get confused often. I hope to be her customer again. Thank you for helping us care for our baby.”
“Carly was amazing! She made my dog JJ and I very comfortable. She even sent us the cutest picture showing how happy JJ was with his new friends :) thank you so much, what a great experience!”

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.

There are 3,107 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Claymont. About 89% of Claymont sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
