Paige was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. I would definitely recommend Paige and will gladly book with her again!

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 from home, so I am free for as many walks or as much play time as needed! I am available all day every day, and your dogs will 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 love animals and I will care for your animals like my own. I have 11 years experience and currently have two Maltipoos, Scrappy and Scruffy. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for walking your dog. I’m available all week and just started pet sitting this month. I will provide a loving and nurturing environment for your pets and will never raise my voice. While they are in my care they will be treated like family.

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, fish, and mice! I love all animals and I believe they all deserve the best possible care we can provide! I’m currently a stay at home mom with two adult children and one child in kindergarten! I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your fur (or feather or scale or what have you!) babies! I have a small dog and a cat that are friendly and would get along well with other animals. I enjoy walking pets and cuddling as well!

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 there! I’m Else, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and needs. I grew up surrounded by Golden Retrievers, senior cats, and adopted pups—including my sweet golden girl Ember (7), my senior tabby Bert (14), and a tiny blind, deaf rescue dog. Though they’re now with my family up north in Delaware, I miss them every day and would love to share that care with your furry family here in Mount Pleasant. Whether your pet is high-energy, elderly, has special needs, or just needs a little extra TLC, I’m here to help. I’m a recent post-grad looking to earn extra income doing what I genuinely love—spending time with animals. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your pet! I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most mornings and afternoons during the week, and I’m fully open on weekends/getaways. I only care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow your care instructions closely and always prioritize your pet’s well-being. If your dog is car-friendly, I’m happy to take them for walks in your neighborhood or even on fun outings to the beach (with your permission and permits, of course!).

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.

This is the third time I've had Leanne do drop-in visits for my kitty Bandit. I had to contact Leanne urgently as we needed to go out of town unexpectedly for my father's funeral. Leanne was very prompt with responding back to me and was able to do drop-in visits kind of last minute for several days. Leanne is super efficient and prompt and always gave me a detailed Rover card after each visit with a few photos. It was a load off my mind that Bandit was well cared for during this difficult time for me.

About: Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, hamsters, and more, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, needs, and routines. In addition to personal experience, I’ve worked for the AKC, which gave me an even deeper understanding of canine behavior, care, and communication. I’m especially attentive to pets who may need a little extra patience or understanding, including seniors, anxious pets, reactive dogs, or animals with unconventional routines. I also have firsthand experience managing separation needs in my own household, so I understand how important structure, safety, and individualized care can be. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, cuddly, anxious, or somewhere in between, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where they feel safe and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my days are structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because I genuinely love animals, caring for pets never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also very mindful of maintaining routines that help animals feel secure and reduce stress while their owners are away. I always tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, litter box care, medications if needed, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection and companionship. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away. I’m very attentive to body language, behavior changes, and overall comfort, and I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. I also understand that some pets need extra patience, space, or structure, and I’m experienced with anxious pets, shy cats, senior animals, and pets with unique routines or separation needs. Communication is also very important to me, so I make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while their pets are in my care.

About: I’ve owned and loved pets for as long as I can remember! Not only have I cared for my own, but I’ve helped family, friends, neighbors, etc. with their pet needs as often as possible! I have two very active golden retrievers and an older cat at home! I’m a part time dietetic intern in St. Pete with a flexible schedule! I’m looking to connect with pet parents who need a reliable walker or sitter. Having many years of experience with my own pets (older dogs, puppies, cats) has taught me how to safely and responsibly take care of animals!

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!

Ronni did an amazing job with my 6month old twins. The puppy manners are not so great, yet Ronni was able to get them to cooperate and take a walk like good standing citizens...she sent me a picture and made me a proud fur-Mom. When I got back home....both crates were still dry....no accidents! Yay! Thank you Ronni! Hope to see you again soon ?

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lewes on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 505 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lewes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lewes stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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. 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Lewes with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lewes. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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