About: Hi i’m Sydney! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. Me and my furry bestfriend moved to Maui about 5 years ago and just recently made our way back to Minnesota! I have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs as well as training (big, small, old, young, reactive, etc.) I really love meeting new animals and learning how I can provide the best unique experience for them. I currently have a very open and free schedule and can be available on short notice. I look forward to being there for all of your pet care needs. I have a lot of experience caring for pets in their home. Safety and comfort are very important to me. As a nanny I have worked the majority of my time in my employers homes. I am always extremely respectful and cautious when entering anyones home base. If there are ever any specific requests when caring for pets in their home I am more than happy to accommodate them!

About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school this past school year and will be commuting to school starting in September. I only have a few classes each weekday, so I should still be available to care for your pets around my schedule! I am also very flexible and should be able to meet the needs of almost any pet parent! In my experience, every home is run differently, and every pet sitting job is unique, so I always follow the pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure both you and your furry friend feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable care for your pet. My availability varies by the week, but I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting whenever my schedule allows. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll provide updates and photos during each visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been a natural animal lover — animals tend to love me just as much as I love them. I currently have a few cats and live with my best friend, who has a dog of her own that I help care for regularly (she’s basically mine too!). I also have hands-on experience working with dogs from spending a couple of years at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to care for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently a server, and with it being the slow season right now, my availability is very flexible and open for most days and times. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions so your pet gets consistent care and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and well looked-after while you’re away.

About: Hey there! My name is Courtney, I am 30 years old and I’ve always loved dogs! I currently live with my husband, our 3 year old son, and our 2 lab-mixed rescues (black lab 8y, yellow lab 6y). I have used Rover over the last 9 years and love meeting new pups. I primarily offer walks and drop-ins, but have flexibility for dog sitting or house sitting as well. I absolutely love walking around near my house or traveling to other areas, and try getting outside as much as possible. I have a very flexible work schedule that accommodates any obligations I have, as well as work from home capabilities. My weekends tend to be very open as well, as long as I have notice and a schedule. I look forward to (hopefully) working with you and your furry friend as soon as possible! ***Also taking recurring dog walking or house visits! Primarily in the summer months but open to other times of year! I am a very schedule oriented person with a lot of love for furry friends. Having grown up with dogs, and now two dogs of my own, I understand the commitment and devotion needed for furry friends. Safety and trust are the first steps in any pet care scenario. I want the dog to get acclimated to me as I am to them, and to know I’m here to help and spend quality time together. I have done many types of care including onboarding, walking, drop in, house sitting, and medication administering.

About: I have been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have loved animals since I was young. I began helping care for pets when I was around 12 years old, taking on responsibilities such as feeding, walking, grooming, playing with them, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable. Over the years, I have gained experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand the importance of providing patient, reliable, and loving care for every animal. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work fully remote which allows me to be home throughout most of the day to provide attention, supervision, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I also attend an internship on some weeknights, but I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care and maintain their normal routines. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions provided by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable.

About: I have 15+ years of pet experience, owning pets, pets sitting , dog walking etc. I've recently started watching pets of family members and friends to be able to gain experience with different types of dogs and cats. I love getting to know furry friends! I currently have a remote job so I am able to stay over night if needed at potential clients houses as well as being able to be around the pets 24/7. I am also able to leave in between meetings if the pet needs a walk or to go to the bathroom. I can easily crate the pet if needed, let the pet outside and take them on walks when needed. Anything the owners need or if any special care is needed I'm good at following direction and taking care of most pets.

From administering meds, to play time and treats, our boys loved spending time with her and we felt total peace of mind knowing they were in great hands with Lauren. She even moved in our packages from the rain without us asking, which she didn’t have to do but was much appreciated. We look forward to booking with Lauren again!”

About: I've taken care of all types of pets from a very young age. Whether it be a tiny chihuahua to a sizeable Bullmastiff, a cat, birds including chickens, reptiles, fish, even small furry friends like rabbits or ferrets. I have adored and been fascinated by animals my whole life and am up for any challenge you throw at me. I've personally trained my dog to follow voiceless hand signal commands and he is also special needs, so caring for a senior or special needs animal is a breeze for me! I've even provided end of life care for my grandmother's cat, which included administering fluids via injection, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Not to mention that I have experience raising young kittens and squirrels at milk drinking ages! I am available from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and overnights on Fridays and Saturdays. I could possibly do extended overnight stays in my own home if your pet is dog, cat, and young child friendly. Whether it be for a walk, potty break, comfort while you're away, socializing and training your puppy basic commands (and maybe a few tricks), or even just taking your furry friend out for a pup cup and to a sniff spot, I'm the gal for you. I will even provide litter or doggy doo doo cleanup for an additional price. Your pet will always be safe and loved in my hands. I am currently in between jobs, and my kiddos go to daycare from 7am-5pm M-F, so I am available to help between those times, or overnights at your house on Fridays and Saturdays. I could be purr-suaded to do extended overnight stays at my house if your feline is cat, dog, and young child friendly. If I am caring in my home, I have 3 cats-all fixed- a special needs male dog who is NOT fixed due to medical reasons, and two kids under the age of 5. If you choose to keep your pet at my home, they need to be able to get along with them or be kept in a separate room. If you have a female dog, they would need to be fixed with proof of spay. My special needs dog has no business procreating! I have a large home and a decent sized yard with a tie-out cable so that your pet can explore my whole backyard safely without fear of taking off. I also have a screened in porch that I often let the cats roam in during the nicer months. I have a Honda CR-V, so I can keep decently large dogs in the car as well for transport or in case of emergency. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will cuddle, play, exercise, and feed & water them to their hearts content. I will ask however for an extra fee to pick up any dog poo or clean litter boxes.

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Delano

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Delano is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,656 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Delano. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Delano 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Delano with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Delano. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
