About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes for as long as I can remember! All of my friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, give medicine, (occasionally) clothe, and of course love all of their furry friends! I have house sat anywhere from just one dog, to 11 dogs and 6 cats! From large Cane Corsos down to the family Guinea pig everyone gets the love and care they deserve and more. I’m currently working a part time job with flexible scheduling and would love to spend my extra time with as many four legged friends as possible! I love working with all animals! I can walk, run, feed, bathe, medicate, love, and even clean up after any and all four legged friends. We can go on hikes as well if capable! I also have a reliable vehicle in case of an emergency, and the numbers of animal hospitals in our area.
About: Hi! I'm Lily, an experienced pet lover with a flexible schedule and a background in hospitality, customer service, and social media. After spending the past several months traveling, I'm back in Delaware and excited to spend my time caring for pets while helping owners feel completely at ease when they're away. I've cared for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to a familiar schedule, I'm happy to provide personalized care and attention. I’m flexible and able to work around your pet’s routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays when needed. I can also accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I provide reliable care, follow routines closely, and send regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'll treat your pet and home with the same care and respect as my own.

About: Ive had dogs in my family ever since I was a kid. I have a 10 year old pit mix, a 13 year old husky, and a 1 year old husky, so I know how to care for multiple dogs at once and dogs of all ages, including puppies. I will care for your dog the way you would. I will take them on as many walks as youd like, and treat them as if they were my own. I get along very well with all dogs and I have plenty of experience. I dont trust my dog with just anybody, so I know how important it is to build that trust with your dog and to not change their comfortability and routine. I work part time at nights, so I am free for as many walks or as much play time as needed! When Im with your dog, it will always be my first priority! I can go on as many walks as needed, depending on the age and activity level of your dog. I have experience crate training my own dog if you need me to do that. I will care for your dog the same way as if youve never left.

About: I have three dogs at home! Lucy, Scotch and Sage! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 8 (and I am now almost 24)! Well I’ve been around dogs since I was born because my grandparents love dogs too but I was 8 years old when my mom bought our first dog. Then after that they just kept coming haha! Everyone knows me as the dog lover because I really do think they are the cutest animals ever! I work from home so I’ll be able to be with the dogs at all times. I won’t ever leave the dog alone for more than two hours. I will always be by the dog and giving it lots of love! Feeding is as instructed and take the dog out every 2-3 hours.

I’ll make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise, attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks, while following any specific instructions you provide. I’m also happy to handle feeding and other basic care during drop-ins. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away!

About: I’m a huge dog lover and offering to dog sit purely out of my love of dogs. We started dog sitting 4 years ago, after we lost our golden retriever of 13 years. Our dog boarding stint didn’t last long since we ended up adopting the first puppy we boarded. We learned they were looking for a home for him and we already fell in love with him! Now that Finn is settled into his spoiled life, we are ready to take care of other dogs and it would be nice for our pup to have some doggie play dates. I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own and a part of my own family. Your dog will get lots of attention, cuddles, and love 💕 Your dog would have free roam of the house and the furniture; we treat them as part of the family. We have a big fenced in yard and my husband and I both work full time from home, so your pup would rarely, if ever, be left alone. Your dog would have free roam of the house. We also allow pets on the furniture, including the beds. We believe dogs are part of the family!
About: I've cared for and have had the privilege of sharing my life with dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, and goats. I've been lucky enough to have raised three dogs from puppydom to senior pooches, all three living beyond 18. I currently share my home with a 13 years old Miniature Pinscher named Sadie. I couldn't imagine continuing on without a furry child in my life. They are central and that's how I feel about all my charges as well. I have extensive experience in caring for puppies, tweens, teens, adults and senior dogos. Unfortunately, I can no longer work with bully breed or bully mixes. I'm available anytime and often at short notice. I have no limitations or restrictions between the hours of 9A until 9P seven days a week. I can only care for small dogs (under 25 lbs) in my own home as my HOA has restrictions on pet size. In your home, your pet will be either King or Queen. They will be pampered and loved as you would want them to be.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lewes choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
