Went to the park after (which he loves and doesnt want to leave. Lol.) We lasted 20 minutes and he was ready to go. Will definitely be in touch in the future ! Thank you for everything.”

“My dog couldn’t have stayed in a better place! It was his first time with Birol, and he warmed up within minutes. I loved getting photo and video updates throughout the day. Birol not only lets him on the furniture (which some sitters don’t) but also takes him on varied walks around the neighborhood so he can explore and sniff everything. I’ll be booking with Birol again soon!”

She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”

About: I’ve have been a dog owner all throughout my life. I currently have a golden retriever that is three year old named Steve. I know level 1 and level 2 dog training techniques. And enjoy taking dogs for long walks to get their energy out. I live five minutes from my job and can come home if needed and never work weekends. My wife works from home 3 out of 5 week days. I have a large fenced in yard (.75 acres) and a dog friendly golden retriever named Steve. I have an extra crate available if your pet needs crating.

About: My name is Amanda & I am a Physician Assistant in the Emergency Department. Working in the ED allows me to have multiple days off per week due to the shiftwork. I had a corgi that was my pride and joy for 7 years, until he unfortunately passed away due to cancer in April 2026. Dogs bring me so much joy and since my dog passed I have been searching for any and all opportunities to hang out with dogs on my days off! I have a lot of experience interacting with dogs of all sizes & ages, from puppies to older dogs. I was a Rover walker years ago when I graduated from school and I’m so excited to get back into it. Now that I have my own home with my husband in Middletown, DE I am happy and excited to offer boarding in our home. Dogs are my pride & joy, & I can assure you that whether it is sitting, walking, or boarding, your furry loved one is in good hands! I work shift work in the ER which allows me to have multiple weekdays off to help walk, let out and exercise your pups! My husband and I miss having the company of a dog at home and would love to board your pup in our home too! My husband and I had a corgi that was on multiple medications for orthopedic and behavioral issues so I am very familiar with administering meds if needed! Our house has a large fenced in backyard for your pup to run around. We have 2 large dog beds for use too, as well as a huge bin of dog toys! Dogs are allowed on our furniture (as long as it’s ok with you guys of course)!

“This was my first time using Rover. Our stay with Adriene was wonderful. Sheldon has only stayed overnight with family or a close friend previously. Adrienne’s home was so inviting and her 2 dogs were so sweet. Sheldon is a picky eater and she sat on the floor with him to help get him to eat. He had a great stay. :)”

“Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!”
