About: I have a deaf dog that is 10 years old who is my best friend and she learns with hand signals. I love every dog and treat them like they're my own. You can trust that I'm the one for your best friend. As of now my schedule is very open and flexible. We can set up a schedule that works best for you and your pup to get the job done properly. I am available to go to your home and check on your dog as often as needed. I will give them walks as often as they're use to in a neighborhood you're comfortable with. Also, if you have a fenced in yard, I am wiling to let them out and play with them there as well.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. Today I have a 5-year-old Golden Retriever and a 5-year-old cat. They grew up together and are honestly best friends (yes, they cuddle 🐶🐱) I'm a true animal lover at heart, and my dream is to one day open my own animal rescue. Until then, I'd love to visit and walk your furry family member and give them all the love they deserve! 💛 I'm a full-time mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I can easily fit visits and walks into the day. I love being outdoors as much as possible, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and exercise with us! 🌳🐾 I only offer drop-in visits and walks, so your pet stays in the comfort of their own home 🏡 During visits, I follow your routine as closely as possible: feeding, fresh water, medications if needed, litter box cleaning for cats, and of course lots of playtime and cuddles. I always keep an eye on how they're eating, behaving and feeling, and I'll let you know right away if anything seems off. For walks, I adapt the pace and length to your dog's energy, age and needs, whether that's a calm stroll around the block or a more active outing at the park. I'll send you photos and updates after every visit so you can see how happy your baby is! 📸🐾

“Thalia accepted my reservation right before we had to leave for a trip and my cat needed medication to be given 2x a day. Thalia took care of it no problem, sent me photos where I could see how the eye was looking and made me feel at ease. My cat was so happy, healthy and well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend”

About: Hello! I am new to Rover . I grew up with a pug and now have a energetic Boston terrier! I can walk, and spend time with, or feed your pets. I absolutely love cats AND dogs. I look forward to getting to know you furry family member! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to give your pet all the attention and care they need! My schedule is pretty open! I am always careful with entering someone’s house because I know my cat try’s to get out and I am careful when walking dogs in case they don’t get along with other dogs as my dog does not.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every breed, size, and energy level—from anxious rescues to giant goofballs. As a current volunteer at ACCT Philly, I work hands-on with all types of dogs daily, focusing on leash control, confidence-building, and reading body language. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me for overnight stays, multi-dog households, and high-energy pups because I stay calm, structured, and patient no matter what. I’m comfortable with puppy routines, senior care, and special diets, and I always make sure every dog gets the perfect mix of play, structure, and comfort. Whether it’s a jog around the block, a slow senior stroll, or bedtime snuggles—I tailor my care to your dog’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible for walks, drop-ins, or overnights, and I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and care. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evening cuddles, I’ll build my day around your pet’s routine. Safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure space to relax and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, medications, and boundaries—so they feel right at home. I keep a close eye on body language and behavior to ensure they’re happy and stress-free, and I always send photo updates so you can see how well they’re doing. Whether it’s cats curling up for quiet time or dogs burning off energy, I create a safe, loving environment built on trust.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to make every pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and care instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I have flexibility in my schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, daycare, and other pet care needs depending on the day and service. I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s schedule ahead of time so I can make sure they receive the attention and care they need with early notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and pay close attention to their pet’s behavior, routine, and needs. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide a calm and clean environment. I’ll also keep you updated during visits so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes including my own GSD and my wheaten terrier from 8 weeks old to adulthood. I also have experience babysitting my best friend’s Doberman and my mom’s pittie mixes. I currently work full time but I get up early to make sure my dog gets her walk and is fed twice a day. We also hike often on the weekends and lead a very active lifestyle. We currently have a fenced in yard and lots of backyard space to play. We also have the convenience of living in a neighborhood with lots of sidewalks for safe daily walks.

About: Like most I have had dogs my entire life but my last soul mate of 16 years died a year ago and I cannot bring myself to get another dog. That being said, we love animals in this household and want them around all the time...I think you get it. My other job is a professional nature photographer so not only will you get amazing photos of your dog, I can bring them with me on my assignments if you like. Like I said in my experience, my other job is a professional photographer giving me hours and hours at my house editing my work. Also, my partner Julie is a yoga teacher who works for herself so there is always someone home. The most important thing is that it is your dog, your rules. We have the most inviting back yard but it is not fenced, however, our house is in a rural community with great neighbors. Your dog will never be off a leash if that is your wish.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. My family bottle fed and raised kittens, I’m a 2 year old golden doodle mama! I’ve pet sat for a few different families, including overnight stays as well. The longest I have pet sat for was a week straight! I’m a very flexible sitter. Although I do work, I have very flexible hours. I am usually home all the time if not working, so your pet will get lots of attention and love from me! Every pet owner has different rules and boundaries for their pet. Please let me know what they are, and I will work alongside you to make sure your pet follows those rules and boundaries under my care!

The ladies were incredibly patient with my dramatic dog. He was refusing to come down stairs and the ladies took the time to talk to him and give him treats until he was comfortable. He then forgot about being a brat after that.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Delaware

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Delaware is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $35 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 November 2026, there are 1,789 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Delaware. 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.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
