About: I have a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to provide them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. I’m dependable, caring, and willing to take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I do have a grasp of understanding canine body language and when they’re comfortable vs uncomfortable. I also have a lot of experience with smaller fuzzy friends such as rabbits and hamsters as well! I currently am new to the area looking for employment, and starting my pre requisites for Del Tech Community College. I have pretty open availability and flexibility for your furry friends. I can very much insure the security of leashes, collars and or harness for walks, as well as helping pups into crates if they’re crate trained at home. Helping younger pups learn with simple commands and positive reinforcement is also something I’m willing to do!

About: Hi, I’m Ayanna! I’ve always had a love for animals and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra playtime, I make sure every pup feels loved, safe, and happy while their owner is away. I have hands-on experience with pet care, including feeding, administering basic medication, and ensuring pets get plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to provide personalized care. As a responsible and trustworthy caregiver, I’ll treat your pet like family—whether they love long walks, belly rubs, or just lounging around. I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them the best care possible! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I can’t wait to care for your pup! As a full-time college student, I have a busy schedule, but I’ve found that pet care fits in perfectly with my routine. Since my classes are spread throughout the day, I have plenty of flexibility to take on walks, drop-in visits, or even overnight pet sitting. Mornings are great for quick walks before class, and I often have free time in the afternoons and evenings to check in on pets, take them for a stroll, or just give them some extra attention while their owners are away. Weekends are even more open, making them a great time for longer stays or multiple visits. Since I’m already balancing school and other responsibilities, I love that pet care allows me to earn extra income in a way that’s both enjoyable and flexible. Plus, I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, so spending time with them never feels like work! Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I’m happy to fit pet care into my schedule in a way that works for both me and the pet parents I help. When I care for pets, my top priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved—whether they’re staying with me or I’m looking after them in their own home. If a pet comes to stay with me, I make sure my space is welcoming and pet-friendly. I set up a cozy spot for them with their bed, food, and water, and I always take time to learn about their usual routine so I can keep things as normal as possible. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or just curling up for some quiet time, I do my best to make sure they feel at home. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their furry friend is happy and well cared for. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same thoughtful approach. I follow their feeding and walking schedule closely, make sure their space stays clean, and always give them plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure to respect the owner’s home—keeping everything tidy, locking up securely, and leaving things just as they were when I arrived. No matter where I’m caring for a pet, I treat them like family. I know how important it is for owners to feel at ease while they’re away, so I do everything I can to make the experience stress-free for both them and their pets.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and got my first dog at 10 years old. Caring for him taught me responsibility, patience, and the deep bond we share with our pets. I have over 8 years of experience caring for senior dogs and 5+ years providing dog sitting services for private clients. Many families trust me repeatedly with their pets because I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs — from playful pups who love walks and attention to more relaxed dogs who just want companionship and cuddles. Small and medium dogs have mostly been under my care and only some larger breeds. My goal is always to keep your dog happy, safe, and stress-free while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand how important consistency is, especially for senior dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I know peace of mind matters when you’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help. Creating a calm, loving environment is very important to me, and I want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home on my own time so I am available pretty much daily unless I have other clients in my schedule. Requests in advance are very much appreciated. Services in your home will be as the you request, I aim to please you and your pet! I live in a tiny home that shares the fenced in backyard with my in laws who have an older toy poodle, a Chorkie and a calico cat who I will keep separate from your pet if you’re looking for daycare and overnight stays. My home is small so overnight and day cares are limited for very large dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Kayla, and I’d love to care for your fur babies! I’m a friendly, outgoing animal lover based in Milford, DE, and I’ve happily called Milford home for the past five years. I’ve loved animals my entire life and grew up caring for many different pets, from cats and dogs to more unique animals. Because of this, I truly see pets as part of the family and believe they deserve patience, love, and plenty of attention. I have experience caring for pets for families in both Milford and Camden, DE, and I’m known for being dependable, easy to get along with, and very attentive to animals’ needs. Whether you’re heading out for a vacation, a weekend trip, or just need a helping hand, I’m happy to provide loving pet sitting and house sitting that helps you feel at ease while you’re away. I am fully available and have lots of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Your pets will never feel rushed or overlooked! At home, I have a sweet kitten who is learning to use the litter box, so patience, gentle care, and understanding different personalities come naturally to me. I’m an organizer, planner, and multitasker, and I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are my top priorities, and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them all the love while you’re away! 🐾💕 I am fully available for any of your scheduled needs. I am free for walks, sittings and drop ins for feeds and all of the above. I have a playful cat who loves to talk. He gets full treatment and brushing because he is a long haired cat. He only uses pretty litter which gets cleaned once or twice a day. He has an automatic food feeder that goes off twice a day for him when we are not home. My brother give him all of the love when we are not home as well.

MILFORD, DE, 19963

About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. My dogs are Angus (a 12 year old Bugg (pug/boston terrier mix) and Archie (a 7 year old Boston Terrier). I also have a 16 year old cat named George who I rescued about 3 years ago. He was an outdoor cat for his entire life, but I've turned him into a spoiled indoor cat. No one thought I could do it, but here we are. Finally, I have one little girl in the bunch - a cat named Izzy (Isobel Rua) who is 9 months old. I've worked with a couple of rescues over the years and have fostered many dogs and cats. In addition to fostering, my rescue work also included coordinating, conducting and meeting rescue transports, administering meds to animals that were transported into the rescue and handling adoptions and home visits, care for kittens and puppies and elderly animals. I have had at least one dog in my life for just about my entire life. Cats came later in life when I had my kids because when I was a child myself, I wasn't allowed to have a cat. Over the years, I've learned about as much about cats as I know about dogs. My animals are well loved and cared for and I am very good at building new relationships with dogs and cats - meeting them where they are and working with them based on their individual cues and needs, not human expectations. I have years of experience that has benefited me with extremely well behaved and happy animals. Before moving to Delaware, I was the unofficial dog/cat sitter for my neighborhood. I decided then that I would like to at least start doing this professionally on a part time basis. Now that I've been here for a little more than a year, the time is right for me to start. First with daily check ins and walks. Perhaps overnights with pets in my home on on a case by case basis since I have my own fur babies here. Your pets would be in great hands with me. I work full time from home and can do occasional walks and check in's during my work day. I have more availability after work and on the weekends. I walk my own dogs in the mornings, but I can check in on yours as needed. Either a visit to feed and play for a bit or for a quick walk. Overnight stays at my home for your dogs is a possibility on a case by case basis.

About: I have several years of experience working with animals through that it’s always my main goal to treat the pet the exact same way you would.

This was our first experience with Rover and any pet sitter/ walker outside of our family or friends. I was lucky to have picked Beth. Our meet and greet went well and my dog loved her right away. He even gave her leg a little hug. We asked her to come by twice while we were out of town for the day. Beth communicated with us both visits with updates, pics and videos. We had peace of mind knowing our dog was so well looked after. We will definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone!

Rachel was amazing with my dog!! I was gone for two days away from my pup and she brought treats and accommodated to her as much as she could! My dog didn’t want to go for a long walk (she gets stubborn and sad when we’re gone) so she took her for two short walks and extra treats!!! Very awesome !

FAQs for Dog Walking - Freeman Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 538 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Freeman Corner. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Freeman Corner. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Freeman Corner after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Freeman Corner. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
