“Scott was wonderful at keeping us up to date on Copper while he was staying with him. We were able to enjoy our trip so much more, knowing Copper was in good hands.”
“Leila did a great job taking care of both my dogs. She had extra toys for them to play with as well as extra dog beds for afternoon naps. My dogs had humans to snuggle at night. Leila walked them in the morning and we received pictures every day. Great fenced in backyard. We will use again”
“Elaine was amazing! She kept me updated on Oreo’s care. She sent me photos. I felt happy to know that my dog was in great hands. Also, she had open availability. Which is great when you plan last minute trips. Highly recommend!!!”
“She was great! She kept me well informed about how my dog was doing everyday! We travel often and can’t always take our dog so I will 100% use her again and would recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful first experience with Turin! Tilly needs to be the only dog, so finding someone who could give her individual attention and make her feel comfortable was very important to us. Turin took the time to sit with us while Tilly explored her surroundings and adjusted at her own pace. She had such a calm, kind way with Tilly, and we felt very comfortable leaving her in her care. It was obvious that Tilly enjoyed spending time with Turin, and she came home happy after having a great time. It means so much to find someone you can trust with your dog, especially when they have individual needs. We are so happy we found Turin. We would absolutely recommend her!”
“Kevin & his wife were amazing! They offered to do a meet and greet before hand and made my dog and I both feel so comfortable. They sent pictures or videos every day which really helped knowing my dog was enjoying herself while I was away!”
“Scotty was fantastic with my dog Chloe and he made the whole process really easy. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he watches. I especially appreciated that he even came to pick up my dog, which was a huge help. I’d definitely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to others.”
“I have been so impressed with Natalie - she is truly an animal lover and took care of my chai like her own. Shes took him for walks, gave him treats, played with him, sent me pictures and updates along the way - I felt so comforted leaving him with her. She’s truly amazing!”
“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
“Gwen took very good care for my little guy (Noel) as he had surgery days prior to his stay. Gwen made sure he took his medicine on time and sent me photos throughout his stay. He’ll look forward staying again next time we’re around. Thank you :)”
“Heather was wonderful with my Labrador; She watched him overnight for 3 nights at her house. She sent regular updates with photos and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Will definitely book again.”
“Very simple…. Bianka is incredible! We received daily updates and pictures. This is the first time we left our dog with someone besides family - so at first we were nervous. What we soon realized was she gave incredible care to our pup. We will absolutely use her again!!!!”

“Amanda was wonderful and we would be happy to have her sit for our babies again when we are in the area! She and her husband have a lovely set up with a beautiful front yard. And I know that their easy-going and relaxed manner gets conveyed to the animals in their care.”
“I want to give a huge thank you to Alexander and George for taking such wonderful care King! 🐾❤️ From the very beginning, they made us feel comfortable and at peace knowing King was in good hands. Their kindness, patience, communication, and the pictures they shared meant so much to us. It’s not easy leaving your buddy behind, but they truly made the experience stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave King. We would definitely trust them with him again and highly recommend them! Thank you both for everything! ❤️🐶”
“Stefanie was excatly what I was looking for!!! She took amazing care of my four legged child. I will ask her again and again. This was my first time using a sitter that wasn’t a friend or family. Seriously a wonderful experience she’s kind, compassionate, caring 💕for my elderly dog💕”
“I am always a little (okay a lot) nervous leaving Layla under any circumstances, whether it just be for the day to go to work or for a long weekend to go away. I am so happy to know we now have Sarah as a safe & happy place for Layla to go on her own vacation should travel plans arise!! Sarah is so knowledgeable when it comes to pets and their quirks, and was so accommodating to Layla’s low key lifestyle that also includes some big time snuggles here and there. Sarah sent updates every day that provided awesome peace of mind, and gave Layla as much love & attention as I ever could’ve hoped for. From walks to cuddles to all the sniffs Layla & I both give 6 out of 5 stars for Sarah!”
“This was our trial run overnight stay for a longer stay we have coming up. Chris lives in a lovely area with a nice little fenced yard for the dogs to play and do their business. He has a cute smaller female mixed breed of his own. Our Finley over other dogs and had good playtime with her. I like that Chris only takes one doggie client at a time so that I know Finley will get the attention and care that he needs. Based on our successful overnight I am going to book Chris for our long trip. I don’t like making recommendations after only one overnight but I am confident that I will be doing just that after his next stay.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Delaware
Our dog has stayed with this sitter twice now — first for a full week and then again for five days — and both experiences were fantastic. Our pup is 1 year and 5 months old, very high‑energy, and loves to bounce around like a little kangaroo, but the sitter handled his playful personality perfectly. We received consistent updates and pictures, which kept us completely at ease while we were away. When we dropped him off for the second stay, he was so excited to see the sitter again. He walked right in, made himself at home, and settled into his feeding routine and vitamin schedule without any issues. The sitter’s home is clean and welcoming, with two friendly dogs, chickens, and a sweet little boy who quickly became our dog’s buddy. It’s clear he felt safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. We’re both extremely happy and will absolutely continue booking with him. Highly recommend!!!!!
6 stars needs to be on the scale. Been using rover for a while, Scott and his family are friendly, easy going and a joy to “work” with. Welcoming to are puppy (at the time of) Cheesy. He was transparent the entire stay with picture dumps and updates daily. Two thumbs up
I can’t recommend Scott enough. Usually when our dog comes back from boarding, he is stressed. This time, he came back relaxed and happy because it was just like he was staying at a friend’s house. I appreciate that Scott kept us updated with pictures throughout Sonny’s stay. We are looking forward to next time!

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 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.
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 NJ 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.
