“Kringle was very happy with Juliana. She let him cuddle with her at night which he loves. It was nice to go on vacation and not have to worry about him. I came home to a clean house and she even washed the linens and put them back on the bed.”
“Camri was amazing throughout the entire process!!! While setting things up, she was punctual and responsive. She asked a lot of questions and really tried to get to know our pets and their needs. We have 4 cats, 1 dog, 3 chickens, and a garden. Camri was willing to take all of that on for 4 days and 3 nights. We found her to be extremely capable. She really cares for the animals and sent us lots of pictures and updates during our trip. We came home to a clean and tidy house (maybe more so than when we left) and very happy and healthy animals and plants. We can't recommend her enough and will definietly be hiring her in the future!”
About: I’ve always been a big dog lover! I have worked as a kennel technician between 2021-2024 and the experience was amazing. To add I also have a senior (12) and a middle age dog (7) of my own. I love to take care of them. I am working full time Monday-Thursday with the availability of free evenings. I am fully available Friday-Sunday for dog walking and/or dog-sitting. I currently live in an apartment with two reactive pets. I would prefer to dog-sit as it would be safer for all pets. I am always gauging unbelonging behavior amongst my dogs.
“Reyna was wonderful to work with-great at communicating, kept us updated with pictures during her stay, and took great care of our house and dog. We’ve already booked her again for another trip ☺️”
“Cassie did a wonderful job dog sitting for us. She gave us updates and sent pics which gave us peace of mind while we were away. The house was left in great shape. We will definitely rebook with Cassie again.”
“Nicholas was amazing! He was extremely professional, and communicative. Took care of my dog like it was his own. Kept me updated when I asked, left me with no worries! Definitely will be rebooking in the future!”
“Phenomenal dog sitter, would recommend her to anyone who would want to feel at ease and comfortable for your time away from your animal. She was extremely communicative with us, followed of our requests with medication and necessities for Franklin. Our dog is particular about who he meets and he immediately loved her and it was very much reciprocated. She left our house impeccable and couldn’t even tell someone stayed there. I highly recommend Mary, will only book her for my dog!”
“Dakota did an outstanding job taking care of our dogs at our home. He was incredibly attentive, making sure our pets were well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. It was clear that he genuinely cares for animals, as he went above and beyond to keep them happy and healthy. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her capable hands. We highly recommend Dakota for anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care!”
“Did a wonderful job!! Took such great care of the pets, and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Rae also sent a ton of pictures, and made sure we were updated all throughout our trip.”
“Autumn was the perfect pet/house sitter! Not only were all of our animals well taken care of, but Autumn was an excellent communicator, polite, professional, and attentive! I felt her rates were very reasonable, which is a huge plus! She was flexible in working with us in regards to scheduling, procedures, and even agreed to take care of our goats on top of the indoor animals. If we ever need care for our animals again we would definitely reach back out to Autumn first!”
“Chandler went above and beyond with my babies! He even washed my sheets and put them back on my bed. How nice it was to come home and be able to hop in my bed and go right to sleep. He sent me updates every morning and evening accompanied with pictures and videos of him playing ball and having the best time playing. I will definitely use him again in the future!!!!”
“We’ve re-booked with Tianna multiple times now. She is great with our nervous Frenchie and sends pictures multiple times a day, which is so reassuring when we’re out of town. She stays in our home and always leaves it as she found it. 10/10!”
“Brittany was so sweet with Hank and Red for the week she stayed with them! They immediately loved her and her calm energy. She even took off work to spend extra time with them after Hank got a wild hair and ate her grapes off the counter. It gave me so much peace of mind that she was looking after them.”
About: Hi, I’m Jordyn. I am 26 years old with an Bachelor of Science degree. I have a passion of caring for animals. I have 1 dog named Leo, he is an American Staffordshire Pitbull. I’ve had him since 2020 when he was 3 months old. I have been dog sitting for 6 years now. I have experience working in a dog daycare for 3 years. My additional duties working in a dog daycare involved keeping the kennels clean of waste, dog fur, stray food and water, and other material that keep dogs from being comfortable away from their owners. I enjoy being able to play and have fun with dogs. While walking your dog I will make sure he/she stays dehydrated throughout the summer/winter. Feel free to contact me about any questions you have or concerns and times that I am available to care. Thank you!

“I waited until the very last minute to book sitter for my 3 dogs and two cats. Ansley was able to squeeze me in and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She routinely checked in and sent me pictures of how the fur babies were doing each time. I will definitely use her again!”

Just wonderful! Reyna was polite and professional. Kept me updated during my trip about how my dog and cat were doing with daily updates/pictures. The house was kept clean and tidy. My four legged children clearly loved her! Will definitely try to book with her in the future and you should too!
Seras watched our two shepherds and our home while we were away and she did an awesome job. She stayed with them whole time and gave updates throughout our trip and she even cleaned up a bit which was so appreciated not coming home to mountains of dog hair. We will definitely be booking with Seras in the future and would recommend her if you’re looking.

Kailee I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful care you took of Charlie Brown while we were away. This was the first time we ever left Charlie at home. (Normally he travels with us). Knowing that our dog was so well cared for each and every day allowed us to really relax and not worry about him while we were on vacation. We are forever grateful for the awesome job you provided caring for Charlie Brown Thanks a million

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Del City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Del City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Del City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.
