“Lucia is fantastic. We are first time reptile owners and it was great to know that our sitter has a lot of experience taking care of tortoises. We were able to leave the country knowing Ged was in capable and caring hands. She is communicative and understanding of our needs. We will definitely be rebooking with Lucia in the future!”
“I really had know idea that this service even existed. We boarded our German Shepherd only once in the past.We didn’t want to do it again. I found Rover, and Rover found us Kennedy. She responded quickly, came to our home and met our dog, Kona. She bonded with her instantly. Kennedy was friendly, personable, and had no problem with larger dogs. While we were gone, she fed Kona, walked her in our neighborhood, gave her treats, and sent us photos. She gave us peace of mind, we had no worries that Kona would be well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Rover, and especially Kennedy, to care for Kona in the future. We couldn’t be happier with Kennedy. Great job.”
About: I have my own dog and cat, and I love animals. I love to spend time with them and bond with them! You can always find me cuddled up with my cat haha I'm taking a college class from home so I'm available pretty much whenever! If you need me to stay at home, I can definitely do that! Again, I have my own cat and dog and they are very friendly. I am committed to making sure your pets feel safe and comfortable.
“Jackie has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She replies instantly and keeps me updated. I am new to pet ownership and having someone look after them while I have to travel for work. She has been amazing every step of the way.”
About: ❗️❗️🙂 CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS🙂❗️❗️ I've been working for Rover since 2017, and I can truly say that I adore this job! I mainly specialize in working with dogs and cats, however I am willing to work with different kinds of animals if needed. I'm also a Washington DC native, who has recently moved to Salisbury, Maryland 💛🖤❤️🤍 ⚠️❗️❗️UPDATE AS OF APRIL 2024❗️❗️⚠️: If you are new client and need someone for a extended stay Home Sitting, the longest I will be willing to stay is 3 to 5 days. Once you are a repeat client, I am then more comfortable staying for longer periods of time if needed. Pets will stay on routine by following whatever schedule the owner has set up. If it means getting up early to take a walk, that's what will happen. If I means getting out later in the afternoon for a walk, tha will be fine too. Pet care fits into my routine by me having a very opened schedule. I just moved to Easton, MD, so right now I'm looking to build a new client base here. While watching your pets in your home, I will always make sure I keep a watchful eye over them. I typically like to stay in an area that is open enough where I can see everything, but closed enough where the animal won't be out of site.
“Kelly was amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter in the area. She was professional, reliable and really sweet with our older dog Scooter. We had complete peace of mind during our vacation knowing that Scooter was in good hands. We're already planning on using her during our next trip!”
About: My Schedule: I usually work Monday-Friday roughly 7-3 pm but I also work from home some days so feel free to reach out & I can try to accommodate! :) My Passion: I’ve had animals my entire life, oftentimes being the sole caregiver for 2 dogs and more recently learning how to aid my family’s senior dog who is disabled. I also aided a local dog business, ensuring they were taken care of and treated as my own while maintaining strong relationships and gaining their trust. I have a strong passion for all animals and cant wait to meet yours! My Interest: I love music, playing piano & singing especially, so expect your dog to be serenaded during our time together. I’m also an avid reader, a grad student, and a full-time non-profit professional. I love art as well so feel free to share your favorite painting. I work full time, ensuring our eastern shore neighbors are fed and taken care of, but love my flexible schedule to ensure everyone animal is well taken care of. I’m very respectful with client’s space and aim to ensure it is well maintained as well as providing the best possible care and experience for the animal.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home for 14 years and cats my whole life. I’ve had dogs of small and large sizes and can handle a dog of any personality I am working part time right now but looking to care for cats and dogs on the side through walks or drop ins when available I do not offer in home service at this time. I can provide walks and drop ins only! sorry if this is inconvenient, thank you.
“10/10! Very considerate and attentive to our hyper Husky, Bella! George brought us peace of mind while we were away for a family wedding. He went the extra mile and was very responsive. Even though we hate leaving our fur baby, we know she’s in good hands with George!! Thanks again!”
“Julie was absolutely amazing, kept up with our puppy. Made it super comfortable to be away from home and trust in someone caring for our baby. Sent loads of pictures and even cleaned up puppy throw up for us. Even took the time to train some bad habits out of Mr. Peanut butter (His name) would highly recommend.”
“Jen did a fantastic job in taking care of our two Maine Coon cats. I especially like her daily visit updates and pictures! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her service again in the future.”
“Heather was amazing in looking after our shy cat Shiva! Besides the frequent photos and daily updates, she went above and beyond in doing extra items while we were away for over a week -- truly appreciated! This is the first time using Rover for drop-in visits and will definitely be using her services again for future trips, based on her availability ❤️”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started working in the pet grooming industry when I was just 11, and since then I’ve poured my heart into caring for dogs and cats of every age, size, and personality. I’ve raised entire litters of puppies alongside their mamas, comforted seniors in their golden years, and welcomed countless pets into my home for boarding and love. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a gentle brushing, or simply being a reassuring presence, I make it my mission to give every animal the same patience, safety, and affection I give my own. To me, pets are family—and I care for them with all the devotion that word deserves. Outside of pet care, I work a steady schedule—Monday through Thursday evenings from 4–10pm and Saturday mornings from 7am–12pm. That means I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and weekends to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care. I like to be upfront so you’ll always know when I’m free, and I’ll make sure your pets’ needs are prioritized around my work. Reliable, consistent, and full of heart—that’s how I approach both my schedule and my pet care! When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I follow your routines closely—from feeding schedules to favorite toys—so your pets experience as little disruption as possible while you’re away. For dogs, I provide regular walks for exercise and stimulation, along with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection. For cats, I make sure litter boxes are clean, meals are on time, and they get the attention (or space!) they prefer. I treat your home with the same respect as my own, and I keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your furry family is doing. Growing up I’ve always owned several animals and so many plans were disrupted by the stressor of not being able to trust anyone with your babies. I can ensure you, I will make that worry disappear! My goal is simple: to give your pets the love and care they deserve while giving you total peace of mind.
About: I love playing with dogs and walking them. I've grown up around all types of dogs small and large. I'm very fun and outgoing as well as criminal justice trained ensuring your pets safety. I have taken care of our families dogs as well as watching other family friends pets. I have watched animals with allergies and medication needs. Dogs of all ages are welcome. I will meet any needs of the dog/dogs and ensure to have them back to you safe worn out and happy. I work part time so most of my day is running errands or cleaning the house. If they love car rides they are more than welcome to drive around with me. I will adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the dog or animal. Also absolutely love my kitties. Open to all animal requests just ask! Im a full time optician and part time cook. With plenty of notice I will take off my parttime job to care for your babies. Your pet will be loved as family. Your pet will be able to sleep with me and get full access of my apartment. Toilet bowl lids will always be closed

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 Delmar 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Delmar choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Delmar with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
