“Andres did a great job with my two big goofy girls while my husband and I were traveling. He's great about communicating and providing pupdates while they're in his care, and the girls came home in good spirits.”
“Sherry was so kind and attentive to our dog. She had us do a meet-and-greet, which helped my dog to go to her when we dropped her off. She sent us pictures and videos while we were apart. She walked our dog frequently. We are grateful for her kindness to our dog.”
“Brian was awesome. We have an older dog and this is the first time we had an overnight away from home stay. Brian updated us regularly and made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely use Brian in the future!”
“This was my pup's second time staying with Trey and her second time having a safe and exciting place to stay while I was away. Tilly had so much fun playing with Trey's dogs and I could see from the updates that she was getting out and about and working off all her energy. Already have a time booked for later this summer!”
About: I have owned dogs for the past 20 years, including a mastiff and pit/Shepard mix. I also grew up with cats. I have also helped out a rescue I am home at lunch during the week to let your pet out and home by 5:15 pm . Weekends I do not work and can be home all day I have a separate gated off part of the house the animal can be housed in instead of sitting in a crate if I am not home
“Amy and Cathy are great pet sitters! My mini dachshund, Mickey, stayed with Amy and Cathy for 3 weeks while we were away for a vacation and home renovation. Mickey was very happy there. Amy and Cathy have a very nice home and yard for him, plus he has fun with their dog, Shana! Highly recommend the team and would definitely use them again!”
About: I've taken care of pups since I was a teenager and am continuing my love of them as my nursing career winds down and my husband is semi-retired. We treat them with dignity and respect just like they were our own. We are flexible as the work from home option allows the ability for us to spend quality time with your pet. We are available for boarding any day of the week including weekends and holidays. We have a nice sized yard and are close to multiple parks to take your pet on walks. Dogs are free to roam as if they were in their own home but can crate if desired.
“Olivia did wonders with our Charlie ! He was just 3 months old when we gave him to her for 4 nights and 5 days. Due to Charlie’s age we were skeptical at first leaving Charlie with a stranger. All my fears were relieved ! Olivia was great she took right to Charlie picked him Up and showered him with love ! Kept him on our same schedule with feeding and eating. She sent us daily texts and photos ! She even used all her doggie knowledge to help Charlie with “ teething phase”. He came back to us tail Wagging, bathed, and nails clipped ! She was absolutely amazing we will be hiring Olivia over and over again ! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would !”
“Michelle watched our two pups and sugar glider for about 12 days. They just had the best time! She sent us pictures and updates almost daily, for which we were super thankful! Our pups had so much fun with her pups as well. Sadie didn't want to leave Ella, her new bestie, when we came to pick them up! Her house is super clean, she treated our dogs like her own, and she was awesome to deal with overall. Highly recommend her for your creatures' care!”
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.
“Ian was fantastic! Our two dogs spent a week and half with Ian in his lovely home. We were able to relax and have peace of mind they were in good care. Ian periodically sent photos to document their time and was forthcoming with any challenges. We really appreciate his attention, time, and compassion with our pups.”
“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!”
“Paloma took great care of Maddy for 9 days, she was super easy to coordinate with and treated Maddy just like her own dog. Maddy came home happy and content and we’re glad Paloma was able to watch her for us!”
“Khai is a true cat whisperer, I'm glad I found her! I boarded my pet kitten Yuzu with Khai over Thanksgiving and was completely satisfied with the experience. Khai has a fully-equipped apartment to accommodate cats and Yuzu was visibly very comfortable, engaged and content during her stay. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates, which made our time apart much more bearable. Khai is completely professional and will love your kitty like her own. I even received a parting gift when she delivered Yuzu back to me, which I felt was very thoughtful and kind. How do such nice people still exist? 100% would entrust with my cat again and I believe you will too. Thanks Khai!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Darley Woods is $55

Our second time using Jordyn. She helped us in a pinch the first time and this time we went with her because she is just the best. My dog was so excited to see her again as well. She did a great job and photos on a regular basis which made us smile. Lots of photos of walks, he seemed to be getting some good exercise and stimulation - he looked like a happy boy!
I cannot say enough good things about Steffani and Josh. This was the 3rd time they watched my Cora girl. When I was dropping her off, she was so excited to see Steffani, she hopped like a bunny to the door! They treat her like she’s one of their own. Thanks so much guys!
Cindy took excellent care of our dog Calvin over the weekend. He was clearly comfortable at Cindy's home from the pictures and communication we received throughout the stay. He came back happy and tired from all of the play and attention. We would gladly use Cindy's services again on future trips and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.
Marissa was so sweet and helpful with my pups while I was away for business. I am always nervous when traveling and leaving my girls with anyone, but Marissa put my mind at ease. She sent photos to check in and let me know how they were doing, and my one one more nervous dog, Penelope, did NOT go on a hunger strike while I was away as she sometimes does--which speaks volumes about how comfortable she was while staying with her! I look forward to using her again when I travel. Thank you, Marissa!!
As an owner who truly treats my “baby” like a real baby, I was incredibly impressed with the care and attention Sherry gave my precious one. The daily pictures and videos she sent gave me tremendous peace of mind and reassurance that my baby was happy, safe, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who is genuinely caring, attentive, and will treat your precious baby as if they were her own, look no further. Sherry is the one!
Stevie stayed with Patti for the second time and when we arrived to drop her off, she sprinted to the door…couldn’t get in to see Patti and her furry friends quick enough. I think that speaks volumes to the care and compassion that Patti provides! Stevie loves and we will continue to utilize when we need a sitter!!
Ariana was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my mini dachshund, Dino! It was Dino’s first time staying with Ariana, and she did a great job making me feel reassured that Dino was happy and comfortable during his stay. Dino is already looking forward to his next stay with Ariana!
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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Darley Woods can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Darley Woods 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 Darley Woods.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Darley Woods. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your Darley Woods 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
