“We needed to leave our dog for a week and were very happy with the care and attention he received at Savanah’s house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Savanah and would happily have our dog stay at her house again!”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“Katie, her husband, and her dogs are simply lovely. They took excellent care of my two huskies for about 10 days, one of which can be a bit particular when it comes to new furry friends. But Katie handled everything in stride and was able to integrate my dogs into the pack, and they were fast friends. Pictures and updates were thoughtfully sent. I know they had a good time because they didn’t have a care when I dropped them off (this was their second time with Katie). Would recommend!”
“Megan went out of her way to help my very anxious doggie deal with separation. My dog was delivered tired and well played with. It was great to have a napping pup while I unpacked from vacation.”
“Louie had a great time and seemed very comfortable with Jessica and her family! Jessica sent us pictures and updates which made us feel at ease! We will definitely use Jessica in the future if she will have Louie back!”
About: Howdy! I have had animals my entire life! I wish I could say that at some point during that journey I didn’t bear most of the responsibility for animals, but that’s just not who I am. I have grown up primarily with dogs, but as I got older we added cats, horses, goats, cows, chickens, even a mule. I have successfully (patiently) crate trained serval puppies. I have spent winter nights foaling horses, and bottle feeding calf’s, kids, and kittens. My love for animals only continues to grow with age. Do you ever look at your pet and get emotional because of how much you love them?? Because I do. And I couldn’t imagine treating any animal or human being without that same affection even if they aren’t mine. Being a pet owner is such a reward, but as humans we also have to experience travel and new memories along the way. I promise, whole heartedly to love your pet with as much love one can give. I promise to keep your beloved pet safe, warm, and fully loaded up on treats and kisses! (If allowed of course 😉) it is my job and duty to completely make you and your pet feel 100% at home and comfortable with allowing me into your life. I can’t wait to meet your pets! Pet care doesn’t “fit” into my routine. It just is my routine. There would never be a situation where I wouldn’t attend to your pets needs before anything else. Allowing and trusting me with your pet is a job I will only give 110% for. While I am primarily looking for a “regular” client, Someone who travels often, or goes out of town frequently. Someone who is looking for another constant in their pets lives. If this sounds like a typical situation for your family, I’d love to be considered to be your new sitter 🥰 I am also 100% accepting temporary clients as well! No matter how long, or how often you’re gone, I’d love to be the one considered!
About: Loving, Reliable Dog Care Since 1998 My passion for caring for dogs began in 1998 when I started walking dogs in Washington, DC. What began as a simple love for dogs quickly grew into a rewarding business built on trust, reliability, and genuine care. With decades of experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide dependable, personalized care so pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra attention and companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Over 25 years of experience. A lifelong love of dogs. Care you can trust. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie for your dog to play with. I am retired so I am home all day, every day. We love to go out and walk every day . I have a fenced in yard with wire all the way to the ground. My built in pool also has a safety fence. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie. My house is free for your dog to run around.
About: I am 26 raised up on a farm my whole life. I have been apart of 4-h since the age of 6 and still currently volunteering in their program as well as helping my two foster boys in it. We have Pygmy goats, llamas, Alpacas, cats, birds, donkeys, heagehogs, a chinchilla and 3 dogs. I also have experience with snakes, turtles, ferrets, sugar gliders, pot belly pig, parrots, fish, skunk, deer, horses, rabbits, and fox,. I'm a stay at home foster mom with teen boys who can take care of their self for the most part which makes my schedule open We have a large yard and a fenced in are out back. Our dogs love to play with others but would rather come to your pets home where they are most comfortable
About: I am a retired senior that will provide caring and reliable dog and cat pet services, and will always strive to keep your pets safe, happy and well cared for. While currently a pet empty nester, my wife and I raised 3 Golden Retrievers over 30 years, all starting out with us as puppies. While new to Rover, I have a lifetime of experience with pets I grew up with, my family's pets and now occasionally over the last 5 years caring for my children's pets that include 2 cats and a reactive dog. I am retired and looking forward to devoting time to Rover. I also do volunteer work, but scheduling for that is flexible and will not conflict with Rover commitments. I will make sure your pets are fed, have water and potty breaks; and are exercised through appropriate play and/or walks in your neighborhood. I will show them affection through petting, belly rubs, ear scratches and cuddles; and by devoting all of my attention and time to them. I will also bag and dispose of dog poo and check litter boxes as needed. I will provide updates to the pet parents after each visit.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.
96% of sitters in Delaware 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 Delaware 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 Delaware.
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 Delaware. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
You and your Delaware 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 IN 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.
