About: Hi! I’m a recent college grad with a genuine love for animals and experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while following their normal routine. Whether they enjoy playing, cuddling, or simply having company, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I also live with trusted friends who love animals and may help provide extra attention and company, always with your knowledge and approval. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your pets. Message me to ask for my availability! I understand the importance of safety, trust, and a positive atmosphere for your pet, and I am committed to providing your pets with a safe space where they can thrive and feel at ease.
“I am so happy and relieved to have Carolyne care for my cats while I was away. I appreciated daily photos and updates on my "babies". I feel she went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you so much Carolyne!!”
“Carrie took care of our two cats while we were on holiday and she truly went above and beyond. Not only did she always send pictures and an update on our loved ones, she even vacuumed the floors and took a spoiled rug home to be washed! Truly a perfect pet sitter :)”
“Elaina has been by far the best catsitter we ever worked with! She was very thorough with each visit at following our instructions and kept us updated throughout the visit. We felt so at ease that our boys were safe this past week. Thank you!”
“Madde was great! She exceeded our expectations. She made our time away from home comfortable knowing our pets were well cared for. She communicated with us after every visit with both words, pics and videos. She was delightful. We highly recommend her for anyone needing in home pet care.”
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💕
“Emily was wonderful. Stella is very shy, but she didn’t hide when Emily came. We were very pleased with the care Emily gave Stella. We will definitely have Emily come the next time we’re gone.”
“We’re repeat clients of Molly and could not recommend her more! She goes above and beyond in all that she does. How much she cares is genuine. We love her so much!”
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.
“Jackie took care of our babies- 3 english bulldogs & 2 cats (4 drop ins per day)...one dog is a puppy. I cant say enough positive things about her care to my pets. She sends the photos, cards and updates on the scheduled time. Shes amazing and our family loves her. Thank you Jackie!!”
“April did a great job caring for our 2 cats. Communication was easy, she consistently sent us updates and pictures, and the cats received full care. What I especially appreciated is that she did not just come in, but also spent the full half hour playing with them and giving them some love. Would recommend!”
“Emaline is beyond great! This was my first time using the app and she was so helpful to explain everything. She was so kind, followed all requests, sent pictures and updates. Would 100% recommend!”
“Marissa, helped me in a pinch with a last-minute request for drop-in visits with my cat when I left town. She also agreed to an extra day when I decided to extend my trip. She communicated well with me before and during. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Brittany took great care of our pets! She has a calming energy and a natural way with animals. She did an excellent job of communicating with us and sending pictures of our pups while we were away, putting us at ease knowing they were in good hands!”
“Ellen is fantastic. She has taken care of my cat several times now. She is highly responsible and attentive to all the scheduling and booking details. Also, she checks in regularly with a note and photo, so I know how things are going. She’s mature and a delight.”
About: I grew up with cats and became a dog owner 20 years ago. I have trained 2 puppies. I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your pets. I am a teacher and I am gone weekdays 6:15-3:30. I do have a daughter that comes home daily from 10:45-11:30 to let the dogs out. I have one Boston Terrier and he loves to play. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room to run around. My dog can be crated if needed.
About: Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for over six years. I love being active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I also have three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like part of the family. I work full-time at a school, which means I finish in the afternoon and have plenty of time in the evenings to care for your pets. I'm usually available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend sitting. My schedule is consistent, making it easy for me to build a reliable routine with your pet! I provide care in your home to help keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I follow all routines closely and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I have experience administering medications and following special feeding instructions, including morning and evening meds.

Cathy is the best pet sitter! My cat Tigger loves her. She is patient and kind. I don’t know what I would do without her! He takes medication and is 16 years old. I needed someone responsible and she is the best! Thank you Cathy! Tigger says”thank you” too.
Emily always does an amazing job, I have no worries knowing she is caring for my cats while I’m away! She goes above and beyond just the cats, also helping care for my house/plants as well. You can tell she actually enjoys spending time with them and helping out!
Lydia is a wonderful pet care provider!! This is our second booking with her to care for our two cats, Oliver and Nadia. Recently, Oliver has struggled with IBD and Lydia provided extra care to assure us that Oliver was still on the road to recovery. We highly recommend Lydia for your pet care needs!
I never worry about my cat Tigger when Katelyn takes care of him. She is always so dependable! He is 15 years old and takes medication twice a day for his thyroid. He just loves her! Thank you Katelyn! I don’t know what we would do without you! ❤️. Virginia and Tigger

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Delaware on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,572 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Delaware. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Delaware stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 95% of sitters 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
