“This was our first time using Rover, let alone allowing someone we don’t know watch over our dogs. When we first met Andres, he was very understanding of our concerns of leaving our dogs for the first time. While we were away, he stayed in contact with us and gave us daily updates and sent pictures of our dogs. When we picked them up, both dogs were as happy as can be. We are very happy with how well it went with Andres. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter, especially first-timers! Thanks Andres!!!”
“Luna had a great time on her overnight stay. She got playtime inside and out and plenty of attention. Emily and Christine really love dogs, and treated her so well!”
“I couldn’t have imagined a better experience than what Elizabeth (Beth) provided for my dog Liesel. Liesel is a fairly new rescue and I was concerned that it might be a bit traumatic changing homes even for a short period of time. However, her will stay with Beth, her family, and darling dog Otis was without a doubt an adventurous and happy vacation for Liesel. Beth makes sure there is plenty of exercise, play, and love for your pet…just as if your pup is one of her own. Liesel even came home with some new training for which I am very grateful. I highly recommend Beth - you can absolutely leave your dog in her care with the confidence that they will be treated and cared for in the best way possible. Thank you so very much, Beth… Liesel is looking forward to her next visit with you and your family…Liesel sends her love and appreciation 💗 Jean”
“Olivia was well taken care of. We received plenty of updates and pictures while we were away. Communication was excellent and drop off and pick up were very easy. Cassandra will be our go to sitter from now on.”
“It was my first time having to leave my dog, Max, with someone he did not know, and meeting Laura before going on my trip was very helpful. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She keeps you updated and answers questions promptly. Laura sent pictures and videos to show how Max was doing, which I really appreciated. If I need a sitter again I will definitely bring Max back to Laura, and I know he'll feel comfortable, and I will feel better about leaving him.”
“Juliana was truly exceptional. I received thoughtful daily updates with pictures, which made such a difference while I was away. My dog was clearly comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Reliable, caring, and professional— I would absolutely book again.”
“Kate was awesome! She was super communicative and before and during Chocolate’s stay. Chocolate is a little shy sometimes but it seemed like Kate put her right at ease and made Chocolate comfortable from the start.”
“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.”
“Michelle was great! She was always quick to respond and super flexible with me. She sent daily photos to update us on our pup. Harper came back so exhausted from all the love, pets, and play.”
“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.”
“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!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter to watch Cooper while I was on a 2+ week international vacation. Jamie sent me so many cute pictures and made sure to update me regularly. Cooper even gave Jamie a quick sniff and a tail-wag before leaving which means he definitely enjoyed his stay. Thank you so much, Jamie, for taking such great care of Cooper ❤️”
“My pups had a great time, made themselves at home and were well cared for. Loved receiving pics and seeing how well they were doing was comforting. Will definitely book again! Thank you”
“Loved her! She kept me up to date daily with a photo, video, or comments regarding my dog, Sadie. She was attentive to any concerns I had in the beginning as my dog has food allergies, and she assured me she would follow my instructions regarding her care completely. I will be using her 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!
Andres was wonderful with my dogs! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were in such good hands. One of my dogs has epilepsy and requires medication twice a day, so it was especially important to me that I found someone I could trust. Andres was reliable, attentive, and very responsive from beginning to end, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Andres and would definitely trust him with my dogs again!
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.
