“This was our very first time boarding our dog, Dash, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We left him with Marissa for an entire week, and she went above and beyond to make both Dash and us feel comfortable. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Dash looked so incredibly happy the whole time and made plenty of new doggy friends while he was there. To top it off, Marissa even sent him home with homemade treats and the sweetest little pawprint craft that we’ll cherish forever. It’s clear she truly loves and cares for the dogs she watches. We will absolutely use Marissa every time we need pet care, and we recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and thoughtful sitter!”
“Our first time leaving Max with Sangeetha and I was very nervous. Max, who was a rescue from a neglect situation, is aggressively affection. At 85lbs, he can sometimes prove to be a LOT. Sangeetha and her husband were wonderful with Max! He was so happy and comfortable with them (I have many pictures to prove it) and he came home better behaved than before he left!!! Sangeetha will be our sitter of first choice from here on out!”
“I was so relaxed with leaving Rex with Elise. Rex loved Elise with in few seconds and felt comfortable at her home. Elise was very flexible and accommodating with drop in and pick up times. Will definitely use them again!!!”
“Liz is a great dogsitter. She took great care of our dog. She made sure our dog had a blast. She was also a great communicator and kept us in the loop during our time away. I highly recommend her.”
“David is a wonderful pet sitter. We have a senior dog who needs medicine twice a day and wants to be by your side all the time because he is partially blind and has lost his hearing. When Rocco returns from a stay with David, he is still the same happy pup. David is also very flexible with adapting to any changes that might come up with your plans for your pet’s stay. David has become my regular pet sitter and I always know my pet is in great hands. I highly recommend David!”
“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 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
“Patty is the absolute best! She took such great care of my dog Pippa for an extended stay. She was so kind and communicative. She treated my little girl like she was her own. She and her husband are truly dog whisperers.”
“Amy and Cathy were wonderful! We have a special needs dog who is diabetic and they were great administering the medication and ensuring that she was doing well. We got regular updates from them and felt good being away that our dogs were in such good care.”
“Toni is an amazing sitter! Every step of the boarding process went smoothly—from the meet-and-greet and drop-off to communication and pick-up. My dog, Nori, had a wonderful Labor Day weekend with Toni’s lovely family and their sweet dog, Ollie. He already misses their tranquil, lush community. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.
“Sadie had such a great time staying with Laura. She is very skeptical about new environments; however, she was very comfortable and showed no signs of stress. I will be asking Laura to watch Sadie again in the future.”
“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.”
“I couldn't have chosen better sitters than Emma and Collin. It was my anxious 7 year old dog's first time being boarded. She was nervous at first,but, Emma and Collin k ew how to make her comfortable and she ended up really enjoying her stay and the other dogs. So thankful I found these two!!”
“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!”

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!!
HIGHLY recommend Jordyn! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We used her for boarding for a long weekend, and she was absolutely amazing with our little guy. He has separation anxiety, so leaving him can be stressful, but sometimes it just takes the right person to make him feel comfortable—and Jordyn was definitely that person! She was incredibly responsive and sent us pictures and updates throughout our entire vacation. In every picture, he looked SO happy, peaceful, and completely relaxed—not stressed or anxious at all. Seeing him so comfortable gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to actually enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. She was also extremely flexible with our pickup time when our flight kept getting delayed, which we appreciated more than she knows. Thank you so much, Jordyn, from the bottom of my heart for taking such amazing care of our little guy. We will absolutely be using you again! 🐶❤️
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 , 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 .
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.
