About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my experience. Of mostly all ages and even multiple at a time. The most cats i have ever had is 4 at once! I am currently a college student so spending the night at peoples home would not be an issue. Not crazy available on weekends but can definitely ask! The most classes i have are 3 at once so 3 hour break from being able to come over. I make sure to feed my pets breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let them out as much as they express they need to and give them plenty of affection, play time, and walks. Not one client who I have sat for or walked their dog has gave me any criticism. I make sure to follow the clients instructions to the exact details.
About: I took care of my neighbors four cats when I was a teenager, and I have owned several dogs and one cat over the course of my life. One of my dogs had canine cognitive decline (dementia), so I am familiar with that and all of the attached issues. I currently work two days a week in downtown Columbus, but that means that I am available some Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Otherwise, my schedule is flexible since my other work is self-guided. I like to make sure that pets are comfortable and that my presence is not an imposition on them. This means that I am on the lookout for signs that they need to go outside or that it is meal time. I give them as much attention as they want and then let them do their thing.
“We feel so lucky to have found Maddie on Rover. She walks our golden retriever 3x a week and always sends the most thoughtful reports after their walks, which I honestly look forward to each day. Our pup, Nessa, definitely looks forward to their walks too!”
About: I have been providing pet sitting services for at least 15 years now for our various personal family friends and others. I love animals and have had pets my whole life. They are my fur babies, and yours will be treated the same! I am a recently retired mom and grandma who has two fur babies. I can provide my own transportation, and I’m available all throughout the day for various times as needed. I would be happy to help you with your fur baby needs. I plan to provide pet care in my client’s home and keep to the same schedule they are used to. It is my goal to make sure they are comfortable and safe before I leave from the visit.
“Jacqueline is amazing with my dog and 2 cats! So sweet to them, and patient with my dog’s little quirks. She does a great job keeping me updated and takes the cutest pictures of them. I’m very thankful.”
“Brittany is the best!! My dog Bowie absolutely loves his walks with her. She is timely, reliable, and knows what she's doing! Not only that, but you can tell she really loves dogs. She gives great updates and pictures too!”
“Faith has been such a wonderful, reliable walker for our dog Baz. She was kind enough to be able to come three times a week and walk/give love to our poor little separation-anxiety-riddled dog, which I just know made his entire day. We will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”
About: I have a beautiful dog of my own at home, his name is Merlin, he is an Australian Shepherd Border Collie mix, and a huge bundle of energy! I am not unfamiliar with puppies, elders, big dogs, little dogs, and the like! I am comfortable interacting with dogs ranging from Great Danes, Golden Retreivers, and even Dachshunds! I am able to stay overnight, head over around mid day, and leave in the morning! My work schedule is five days a week, 9-5 Wednesday to Saturday, and usually 10-6 on Sunday! I am a shift lead, and as such I have flexibility to step away if needed. (Depending on location I am more than willing to stop by during my shift, given time permits) I love to take dogs on walks, play with cats and dogs alike, and cuddle with both of them, should they permit me to! I am fully willing to do whatever needed to keep you and your furbaby happy given I am able to do so!
“Ariel did an amazing job with my boys! My blue heeler can be finicky around new people and take time to warm up. She took time to hang out with him until he was comfortable. They are always in a good mood when they come back from their walks so I know they had a great time! Thank you, Ariel!”
About: I grew up within a household with a variety of animals. At one point we had five dogs, a cat, a bunny, a guinea pig, three hamsters, 5 birds, a bearded dragon, and a gecko. I learned at a very early age how to tend to animals (clean, feed, play, walk, potty breaks, etc) I enjoy helping others and especially caring for animals. They simply bring me joy. I have open availability (other than dates marked off calendar) and am flexible to try and accommodate your schedule as best as possible in order to make things easy for you and your pet. My male husband and I own a house with a fenced in backward and a neighborhood to walk in. Since I have open availability, I have time to tend to the animals without any distractions from other tasks.
“Amy was so friendly and easy to work with. It is clear she loves animals and made me feel very good knowing that my animals were in good hands. She went above and beyond with her walks and can’t wait to work with her again!”
About: I love all the furbabies we have had as guests in our home like they are my own. They sleep with us if they want, they get on the furniture too. We have regular pets who stay at our house here and there, so your dog most likely will be with other dogs we care deeply for including our own dog, so a meet and greet is a must before we allow new pets to stay with us. Your pet must get along with others. We don’t take in a lot of dogs at once to make sure everyone is not stressed and comfortable. We also have a cat of our own Although he usually stays upstairs away from the dogs lol. I do work 3 days a week at my salon but I usually don’t go in until around 2:00 and then my husband is usually home around 5:00 so the animals aren’t home alone for long at all on those days. We don’t have a fenced in yard but a long lead that goes from tree to tree if needed for runners or we can take them out on a leash. We have 5 acres so plenty of room for running around for those who don’t need to be on a leash. I take the dogs for walks too! I make my own schedule and only work 3 days a week. Making it easy for me to care for other pets and give quality time to all. I have 5 acres with a long driveway away from the road. No fence but a lot of room for walking and only one neighbor to one side of me. I can crate your dog if you want to bring yours. We also have a dog washing station if you want us to give your pup a bath! $15 extra dollars for that. If it’s a muddy play time issue where we need to give a bath it’s free!
About: I bring years of personal, pet care care experience to the table, meaning I know how to smoothly manage daily routines and adapt to any temperament. I thrive on being outside and stay highly active. If your dog needs to burn off energy, or have extended outdoor play. However, I am just as happy relaxing. I prioritize keeping your pet on their regular schedule to minimize stress, guaranteeing you reliable communication and total peace of mind I recently graduated and currently have a completely flexible schedule, giving me plenty of availability to dedicate to your pets. Whether you need morning walks, midday drop ins, or consistent daily care, I have the time and flexibility to ensure your dog gets all the attention they need When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining a secure, calm, and familiar environment. I strictly follow your house rules and feeding schedules, ensure all doors and backyard gates are securely locked, and provide attentive supervision to keep your dog safe and comfortable at all times.
About: Hi! I’m Jason, a local elementary school teacher with nine years of independent pet-sitting experience. I grew up with seven cats and have cared for dogs of all sizes, including Samoyed puppies, Beagles, Boxers, Pit Bulls, Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, and Golden Retrievers. I’m especially patient and calm with nervous, energetic, or attention-seeking pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, crates, dogs that pull, multiple-pet homes, separation anxiety, and cleaning up the occasional accident. I also have experience caring for elderly cats and cats with diabetes and kidney disease. I can administer pills, liquid medicine, eye and ear drops, topical treatments, and injections when given clear instructions. I send detailed updates with photos and information about food, water, bathroom habits, and behavior. During house sitting, I can also bring in packages, water plants, take out trash, clean up messes, handle minor leaks, and do basic house maintenance if necessary. I’m an elementary school teacher on summer break and completing graduate school virtually, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for drop-ins, long visits, and overnight care throughout the summer. I’m calm, attentive, and very communicative. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and bathroom habits, and I’ll contact you right away if anything seems unusual.
About: I have had experience in dog sitting my friends’ dogs in the past. Now I want to do it more and give our dog more friends to play with also! Everybody wins! I can be available on weekdays in the afternoon , and weekends after 10 AM for dog sitting. I can walk dog every 2-4 hours. I have a large fenced in backyard with my friendly husky named Zangy and Maltipoo named Nimbus in the house. Lots of space for dogs to play and plenty of treats.
About: I have been caring and owning dogs for over 5 years. I have most experience dog sitting and walking; and I am most excited to meet all your fury friends! I have roughly 2 and a half years of house sitting. Whatever it may be: cleaning, cooking, dog-walking, dog sitting, etc. I can do it! No matter how busy I might be, I will always make time for animal care. Weekends and MWF are always the best days when it comes to animal care, as Tuesdays and Thursdays are my slightly busier days. But morning to night, I can handle feedings, potty breaks, and play time. My own pets are on a schedule for feedings and playtime and walks. I guarantee that no matter the pet, whatever is needed for your fur babies, I will fulfill it. I personally love a good cuddle on the couch and a walk on some nature trails to stretch those legs, but anything from pet yoga to swimming, I'll make sure any animal is taken care of.

Anna is always super helpful! I occasionally book with her to check in on my cat, Minnie, when I’m out of town. I also book with her to walk my dog Luka on days I’m gone at the office or plan to be gone for more than a few hours. She is great with both of them!!!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Delaware. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Delaware.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Delaware. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
