“Megan watched our Charlotte and kept us up-to date with her activities. She cared for Charlotte as if she was her own! This was definitely an upgrade to leaving her at a kennel. Megan is super kind and thoughtful. Our Charlotte loved her vacation so we could, stress free, enjoy ours.”
“Dory’s first stay with Micki went very well and Dory had a great time. We’re very pleased with the care that Micki provided and have booked Dory’s next stay with Micki. As pet parents, we are very comfortable leaving Dory with Micki and know that she will be safe, loved, and well cared for.”
“Susan and Bob took amazing care of my dog, Ziggy, while I was away. They treated him like part of their family and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. I really appreciated their updates and the peace of mind they gave me. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they watch. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring sitters!”
“Lori was so wonderful and caring with my dog Precious. I knew that she was in great hands while I was away. Lori treated Precious like family and made her feel right at home. I would highly recommend Lori to care for your dog!”
“Collen was great. Wiyot is was so relaxed when I picked him up and he us usually a hyper type doodle. I would not hesitate to have Wiyot stay again. Thank you so much for a worry free visit.”
“Debra was incredibly sweet. This was a last minute booking with the holidays 1-2 days away. Debra was incredibly responsive throughout he process. She took our dog on frequent walks, provided photos/videos and updates how he was doing. Simply put, we couldn’t have asked for more. We’d definitely recommend.”
“Sandra took the time to meet with our dogs prior to boarding, sent several updates throughout their stay, and made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. Most importantly, my dogs seemed to love her. I plan to come to Sandra for any future boarding needs!”
“jermaine was AWESOME especially me being last minute with my request. As fast as the world is moving and advancing going on an app and having someone dog sit your dog i was so skeptical! but jermaine was responsive to all my text and calls and ensured me with photos that my boy was ok which was a huge relief . Most definitely will be using jermaine again. !!”
About: I have had many dogs and cared for many others. It is a true labor of love for me and something I really love doing. I’m retired so my schedule is super flexible. Whatever your schedule I can probably accommodate it. Give me a try and let’s see if we can work it out. I love them but I don’t board dogs (sorry). Couldn’t negotiate that successfully with my wife. I do love spending time with them on walks or in your home.
“Our 2 pups had the absolute best time with Dee! It was our puppies first time away with a sitter and Dee treated her like her own! She also took great care of our senior dog. She sent us a ton of pictures and videos and put us at ease and made the experience super smooth and easy!”
“Sue is such a sweet person and we were so thankful so leave Maple in great hands while we went on a weekend trip. Our dog has a lot of “quirks” and Sue was very patient and compassionate. You should feel very comfortable leaving your dog with Sue. Her house is also conveniently located and easy to find!”
About: Mature, responsible, caring female who has a dog, has taken lessons in caring for, interacting with and directing dog behavior and activities. Your dog will be a welcome guest in our home. As a retired yet very active, responsible female I am able to be meet the needs of dogs and to offer dog care on a flexible basis. I have a large, unfenced yard including a run line, well suited to walking dogs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dewey Beach
We recently relocated to Lewes. It was hard to leave our old pet sitter but we found Martha. She’s wonderful! We were kept up to date with how Rico and Moose were doing and she sent pictures every day. The dogs were walked daily too. Rico required medications and no problem. Look no further!
Janice has been the absolute best for Rudy. We left him during a international trip that was over 2 weeks. During that time he ran out of meds and she worked out the details to get it while we were away. And she sadly moved away from us but still honored her appointment which involved significant driving on her part. Rudy gets along really well with her dog Marley and we got great photos of them snuggling. When Rudy was returned to us I could tell he was a happy boy, and enjoys his stay with Janice. It will be hard for another sitter to give us the same piece of mind we had when Janice watched Rudy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dewey Beach home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dewey Beach.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dewey Beach sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in DE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
