This was the first time leaving my puppy with a pup sitter and I could not have asked for anyone better than Claudia to look after her. The daily updates through pictures and videos helped me feel at peace and also know that my puppy was in great hands and very well cared for. Thank you so much again, Claudia!”

“I so appreciate Kacci and Steve watching our rambunctious 1-year old German Shepherd. It was his first time away from home for a few overnights, and we were probably more nervous than the pup! We loved our photo updates and it looks like he had a blast playing in their backyard with their golden. We will definitely book again!”

About: My name is Taryn and I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses, fish, chickens, and small snakes. I have two young adult daughters that live at home and share the same passion as I do. I do have a 7yr old mix of my own that enjoys playing with others. If your dog happens to not be dog friendly, no worries; I provide in home dog care, drop in visits and dog walks! My home is clean, quiet, and pet proof. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play. We even have trails nearby where we can go on fun adventures! Pets will have free roam of the house so they don’t feel left out, after all they are apart of the family. Your pet(s) will never be alone or feel scared with me as their sitter. I work full time during the week. But I’m available weeknights for drop-ins, walks, and daycare. I’m available Fri-Sunday for the above as well as in home and in my home boarding. I have a large yard and a friendly dog for your pup to play with. If needed, I also have a crate. I don’t like crating my dog so prefer not to crate yours unless instructed by you for specific reasons. Of course they’ll be let out often to use the bathroom and have unlimited access to water. In your home, your pet will be let out when needed/scheduled if they have one, played with, and loved on. No matter where we are, my goal is to make your pet feel safe.

About: My schedule can be flexible so please let me know what you need and I'll be sure to let you know if we can make it work! I have owned a couple dogs in the past and dog sit for my family and friends all the time. We currently have two cats that are dog friendly, or tolerant. We’d love to host your fur babies with us for a long weekend to let you get away. I work full-time Mon-Fri so would mostly be available for weekend boarding, Fri-Sun. I am available for drop in visits or walks during the week after 5pm. We have a fully fenced in yard with tons of shade and multiple rooms and spaces to separate animals as needed. Dogs are TOTALLY allowed on furniture and we have healthy treats as their diets allowed. Big neighborhood for walks (with sidewalks) and the pavement is always tested on my own skin before their precious paws. I have lick mats and kongs for mental stimulation and love to fill them with protein and veggies.

“Alyssa, Bruce (her dog) and her home was a perfect match for our 2 dogs, Lola (4 yr old 55 lb) and Tucker (2 yr old 25 lb recently adopted). The combination of Alyssa's genuine caring, responsible, dog loving, positive and communicative personality, along with Bruce as a playmate, and her dog friendly home with large fenced yard, Lola and Tucker were comfortable, happy and entertained. We felt confident our dogs were in a good hands. We used her for 5 nights and would use her services again as well as recommend her. We drove 50 min for her services and felt worth the distance.”

Deanna was absolutely amazing, and we will definitely be booking with her again! We left Remi with her for a week while we were on vacation, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. The daily texts and photos were such a wonderful bonus and made us smile every day. A special thank you to Deanna for being so patient, caring, and loving as Remi adjusted to being around other dogs and all the new sights and smells. We truly appreciate everything she did to make him feel comfortable and cared for. Thank you so much, Deanna—we couldn't have asked for a better experience!

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 Kenton 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 Kenton.

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 Kenton 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.
