“If you’re looking for the best in Milton, DE, look no further. Jessica by far is the BEST!! I have a senior bichonpoo who is fussy and Jessica cared for him so well. I knew he was in good hands when I brought him to her house on the first day and he didn’t want to leave. I received pictures and he looked so happy and rested. Thank you for taking such excellent care of my special baby, well senior dog. Will be back when I go to Bethany Beach, DE again. Tiki misses you already! Jessica is such a lovely person too!!”
“Megan was great with our Inca. I appreciate the detail and care she provided through responsive communication. It’s great to know we have someone a available when we travel to the Delaware shore. Thank you Megan and family! 🩷👩🦰👨🦱👧🐾”
“Bob and Susan were the best. Homer was happy and exhausted when we picked him up. He had tons of playtime with their other houseguests and they provided us with plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay. We will absolutely use them again the next time we are in the area.”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Tanner just LOVES his quality time at Jen’s. This was an extended stay due to our vacation and it’s so nice knowing he’s being well cared for. The daily updates and cute photos puts our minds at ease. Jen is the best!”
“Cori has watched my dog multiple times and always is super quick to respond and flexible! She’s great to work with and my dog is always happy and well cared for when she stays with Cori.”
“Marvina took fabulous care of my lab, Maizey. I was so nervous to leave her, but Marvina put all my fears to rest. Marvina is flexible, caring, and knowledgeable about animals! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Maizey with her again.”
“Margot was a complete host! We felt at ease using this Rover for the time, and relaxed that we picked the right Dod-Lover! My Winnie felt very comfortable with Margit ‘s other Rescue dogs. I highly recommend Margit and this Beautiful home!. Thanks again. Tom N.”
“Brooklyn is such an amazing and caring dog-sitter. It was my first time trying Rover in general, and I am so grateful and thankful for doing so and finding her. My dog has never seemed so comfortable and happy being somewhere before, and when I came to pick her up, I had zero worries whatsoever. Thank you so much Brooklyn!”
“10/10 recommend booking Yinali to care for your dog! She was such a joy to work with, from our initial communication on Rover, to the meet-and-greet, to all the thoughtful updates while our dog was staying with her and her husband. Our dog has special needs and uses a wheelchair, which can understandably make some sitters hesitant (and makes it hard for us to find him trustworthy care), but Yinali was incredibly accommodating and attentive to his needs. I knew right away that he was in great hands, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would 100% book with Yinali again!”
“Kate was absolutely amazing with our pup, Swift! After having our normal boarding facility cancel on us due to overbooking before a vacation, I quickly visited rover to see if I could find a suitable match for Swift. Kate responded in about 10 minutes and accepted the booking, a true life saver! Swift loved his time at Kate’s beautiful home. He has been pooped since you pickup and I know he truly got the attention and exercise that he needs. Kate sent tons of pictures which really eased my mind while I was on vacation. Thank you again Kate! We will be back.”

“Lindsay was great with our goldendoodle Abby this past weekend - she was flexible with drop off and pickup times and a great communicator before and during Abby’s stay. Lindsay sent photos and Abby got plenty of attention and exercise. Would definitely recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Penny’s stay! From start to finish, she was communicative and kept us updated with regular messages and adorable pictures, so we always knew Penny was in good hands. Penny came back happy, relaxed, and clearly entertained—she even seemed to have had her own little vacation! We’re so grateful for the care and attention Penny received and highly recommend Janet’s services to any pet parent. We will definitely be booking again!”
“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!”
“Carley was the best! Excellent communication and willingness to meet our needs and constant feedback about how our peppers was doing. She is great with dogs and we will for sure seek her services again. With Carley, your pet is in great hands! Thanks Carley!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Henlopen Acres
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.
Joanie was fantastic! She watched our beagle Charlie overnight in Rehoboth and made us feel completely at ease from the moment we dropped him off. Her sweet dog Sunny was a perfect playmate. Charlie felt right at home. Joanie sent photo updates and checked in just enough so we knew he was doing great. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter!

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 Henlopen Acres home-away-from-home, 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 Henlopen Acres.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Henlopen Acres 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 , 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 .
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.
