About: I’ve always had dogs my whole life and am able to build a special connection with them! I can’t wait to build connections with more dogs, cats, and other pets! I am currently a college student home for the summer with lots of free time to care for pets!! I am only working a remote internship so my schedule is very flexible! Pets are just as important as people and are family! I make sure to treat my pets and others with care and respect, while also making sure they’re having fun and behaving well! Being the owner of a high energy dog myself, I am well aware of safety considerations as well!
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.
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.
“Madde was fantastic! I could not imagine a better experience. She took great care of our older dog and younger pup both equally. She is kind, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable with helpful tips for our new puppy. If you are on the fence, choose Madde.”
“Brittany has been such a relief for my husband and myself. Our adopted four legged Gus Bus is home for at least 10-11 hours. Brittany is his saving grace and spends time giving him snuggles and walks whenever he’s willing. She’s very punctual and very good with communicating about Gus. We’re so appreciative for the love and attention she has given our special boy.”
About: I currently work at a Veterinary Hospital as a Veterinary Technician Assistant. This has been my position for the last three years and I am looking to continue my education! Due to this position I am able to give different forms of medications, take care of sick, senior or more care required pets! I am very adamant to make any kind of treatments/care as fear free as possible! I’ve also had my fair share of dogs growing up, big and small. I loved training my childhood German Shepherd Harper and my families current aussiedoodle Griffin. I also frequently would pet sit for family and friends in the past! I currently work full time at a vet clinic and have kitties at home that require care and medications for chronic issues. One of my cats Chyna has Irritable Bowl Disease that is being managed and my other cat Sally has behavioral Pica (Tendency to eat inedible things) that I manage well! I do not work Sunday, Mondays, Tuesdays and a half day on Saturdays. I can be flexible with my schedule but Wednesday thru Friday I typically work 10 hour shifts! On Wednesdays and Fridays I should be available after 6pm, especially if I am staying at a location for in-home care. I am willing to accommodate whatever makes owners feel most comfortable for care. I appreciate any tips for care and have no problem giving your kiddos plenty of attention💕
“Jackie has been great! We’ve only used her for walks so far but she has always showed up on time and used at least the full half hour. Leo always seems well exercised when I get home! She feeds him his lunch as well. :)”
About: I've pet sit for many friends and family including walking, feeding, playing, and more! I care for all animals and love giving snuggles as well as lots of pets! I work part time at the outlet mall a few days a week and get out around 8:30 but I am mostly free around that! I have one crazy doberman at home and have pet sit shy dogs as well as very playful! I care for all of them equally and will cater to any needs your baby might need.
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.
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 during early morning hours, and spend the night overnight! I work in Powell OH about 40 hours a week, 8 hour shifts on average. I get my schedule 3 weeks out, and I am happy to share it with any pet parents looking to book! I've just recently bought my car, so transportation is reliable! 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!
“Amazing couple! They are great with my big dog and she absolutely love them! I feel relieved whenever they come to visit her and take her for a walk. They provide a wonderful service! Very well recommended.”
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’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 years old and have always had a genuine love for pets. Over the years, I’ve helped care for a variety of animals, including cats, ferrets, and dogs through pet sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family friends. I also have a 9 year old Border Collie/Lab mix of my own, who I’ve cared for and grown up with. Pet care is something I do on the side because I truly enjoy being around animals and building bonds with them. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Since caring for animals is something I genuinely love, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m open and adaptable to different pet care needs and always happy to help however I can! House sitting and overnight stays are available on a case by case basis depending on each pet’s needs, routine, and care requirements. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care while making sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by being patient and understanding with their individual personalities and needs. With my own dog and other pets I’ve cared for, I’ve learned that building trust takes time, so I never force interaction. I let pets come to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Creating a calm, loving, and stress free atmosphere is always my priority.
About: My whole life there was an animal in my household. So ever since I was 5 years old I would help out. It started off as just feeding the dogs but as I got older I gained more and more experience. Taking the dogs on a walk, letting them outside, simple grooming, administering medicine, etc. Dogs and animals alike have a special place in my heart. They truly are man’s best friend. Even if it isn’t my personal animal it is my goal to give your furry friend the same care and affection that they deserve. I’m currently a college student in my sophomore year. I miss my dogs now that I’m not home, so I truly do give other people dogs as if they are my own. My schedule is mostly open in the evenings and I’m more than willing to work things out, even outside of hours that are listed in my profile. I would want to get to know you and your dog before I come into both of your guys domain. I would follow directions however you desire and most importantly treat them as my own fur baby.

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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Delaware on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,476 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Delaware. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
