Elizabeth was very responsive throughout the process of scheduling, a pre-visit, and while we were away. She took videos, sent pictures, and a report for each visit. We had peace of mind leaving our pups with someone besides family. We will definitely request Elizabeth again.

Gianna was very sweet and patient with Ellie. She stuck with the schedule and tried to reinforce safe puppy play but redirecting with toys when Ellie would bite.

About: I have experience with senior and toy dogs. I also have experience with giving animals tablet, inhaler, and liquid suspension medications. I have a fenced in yard with a small kiddie pool and sprinkler for your dog to enjoy as well. I currently work full time and I am a student when I am not at work. I am available most weekends to do dog sitting. Dogs will have access to the fenced in backyard for free play and I also have a variety of puzzle toys that I clean regularly for enrichment. There is also a beach near me (a short drive away) which I bring dogs to for them to enjoy the sights, sounds and water on weekend days with nice weather. The house is fully stocked with blankets, and I try to maintain the home routine for your pup during their stay.

Delaney was wonderful. It made me feel better knowing they could stop in to care for my dog when I had a last minute work event come up. They sent great pictures and were very communicative. And put up with all my information as a nervous owner.

About: Hello! I’m Erin, a full-time high school teacher and pet-sitter on the side. I’m an animal lover and I have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have a ton of experience caring for a variety of dog breeds and cats, as well as a few smaller animals (rabbits, hamsters, birds, and fish). I’m calm, caring, and patient, with a soft spot for senior animals. I’ve had a great deal of experience caring for my own senior pets (both dogs and cats). I’ve provided care for animals with diapers, medication, and mild mobility issues. I’m also experienced in caring for diabetic cats and administering insulin, as I’ve helped two of my rescues go into remission. I strive to provide the best care possible for pets, and peace of mind for their owners! Please be aware that starting August 25th, I will be at work from 7:35 am-3:05 pm. I’m currently a full time as a high school teacher, so from 7:35-3:05 on week days, I’m usually at work. If I am pet sitting during the week, I head straight to the pets at the end of the work day. On weekends, I am able to dedicate most, if not all, of the day to spending time with your pets. This is also the case over the summer. I provide pet care in client’s homes, per the directions provided by the clients. Prior to caring for your pet(s), I ask that we arrange a time for me to meet your pet(s) and go over all pertinent information regarding their care and safety.

A consistently wonderful sitter. Watson loves seeing her, honestly more than me sometimes. She took excellent care of my cat as always and did extra things like cleaning his fountain without me even asking. Her love for animals always shows and we’re so grateful for her 🐾❤️

About: My passion for animal care began at age 8 and spans over 13 years of hands-on experience from personal pets as well as from my career. Currently, I work as a veterinary assistant at a general practice clinic, where I assist with routine examinations, diagnostic procedures, and treatment protocols while providing compassionate care to animals and educating pet owners. I am currently enrolled in the Veterinary Technology Program at Delaware Technical Community College, pursuing comprehensive training in animal health, medical procedures, and veterinary science. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, and I maintain flexible availability to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m completely free on weekends and available most weekdays after 6pm. As a veterinary assistant, I understand the importance of consistent care and reliable scheduling. Whether your pet needs daily walks, overnight stays, or weekend adventures, I can adapt my schedule to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My veterinary background also means I’m comfortable with any special care requirements or medication schedules your pet may have I provide pet care exclusively in clients’ homes, keeping your pets comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their established routines. As a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to recognize health concerns and can handle everything from basic daily care to administering medications or special needs. I follow all specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and house rules while ensuring doors and gates stay secure. You’ll receive regular updates with photos about your pet’s activities. I treat your home with complete respect, leaving everything clean and secure. With 13+ years of pet care experience and professional veterinary training, I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Samantha was wonderful with Randy. He ate his food for her which is a big achievement since he is so picky. She sent me pictures of them playing. He loves to play with his toys. I was very pleased with her and would definitely use her again.

About: I have cared for cats for most of my life but 5 years ago my fiancé and I adopted my first dog. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my dog, Mary Jane, who has been my sweetest teacher in understanding dog behavior, routines, and communication. Through caring for her, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walking, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, consistent environment for a happy pup. I have also cared for many friends pets while they were away on vacation. I may be new to Rover, but I’m not new to being a responsible, attentive animal owner. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.

Sam was great! It was our first time away from our kitten so we were nervous but Sam sent detalied updates and pictures during her visits which made us feel so much better. She played with Linus really well which was also important to us too. We also liked that Sam had two cats of her own. Thanks again Sam!

As always, Nicole did a fabulous job. This time we were international and because Nicole was so trustworthy, professional, and outstanding in shorter visits in the past, we felt totally comfortable asking her to care for our senior cats for two weeks—they’re a handful as two need prescription diets and one was on medication. Nicole took excellent care of them. I’d trust her any time.

My cat Missy was well taken care of while I was on vacation by Meagan. She seemed happy to see us and not at all angry that we had been away.I could tell she benefited well having Meagan take care of her. Meagan is very friendly and was very responsive whenever I would reach out to her. I’m happy with her care of Missy.
