About: I have had family dogs most of my life, all were rescues. Each had their own challenges. Iâm observant and will take attentive care of your pet.

I care for them by making sure their bowls have been cleaned and filled with fresh water and food if needed. Give them attention and play with them.
About: Building Trust with Pets ⢠Peace of Mind for Their People ⢠Loving ⢠Reliable ⢠Personalized ⢠Attentive ⢠Compassionate ⢠Trustworthy ⢠Gentle ⢠Patient ⢠Experienced ⢠Enriching ⢠Dependable ⢠Safe ⢠Professional ⢠Nurturing ⢠Heartfelt Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I intentionally schedule my days to provide dependable visits, walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and plenty of one-on-one attention. I enjoy staying active, so walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and make sure they receive consistent, loving care while youâre away. I care for pets in their own home where theyâre most comfortable and their routine stays consistent. I follow each ownerâs instructions carefully for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also spend quality time providing companionship, affection, and enrichmentânot just completing a checklist. During each visit, I make sure the home is secure, clean up after the pet, and send updates with photos so owners know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Iâm a huge animal lover and Iâm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and Iâll always follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care I give my familyâs dogs. Iâm a college student with a flexible schedule, and Iâm happy to make time for pet care around my classes and other commitments. Iâm available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. Iâll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the care and time they need. I will always treat your pet and home with care and respect. Iâm comfortable following specific feeding, walking, crate, and daily routine instructions, and Iâll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. Iâll give your pet plenty of attention and can also send updates and photos so you know theyâre safe and happy while youâre away.
âSusan stayed at our house for 10 days to take care of our dog. She sent us pictures and updates every day. when she left my dog was crying. I was so comfortable going away knowing that I did not have to worry about my dog being taken care of. He was treated very well and he was loved. I give Susan a 10+star rating. I will definitely use her on our next trip. She treated my house like it was her own and my house was in the same condition as when I left it it was clean and orderly. Thank you Susan for all that you did for Willie.â

âAmber took excellent care of our pack and provided us with peace of mind while we were gone. She was especially attentive to their health/diet needs and we look forward to having her stay again.â


âHeather was great! Communication and pictures of Duchess were very much appreciated! I came home to a clean house and it was perfect as I got home later than normal and could just relax and head to bed. I will definitely use Heather again!â

I can handle everything from puppy all the way to senior. I own my own business and work from home so I have alot of flexibility as far as being able to care for your babies whether in my home or yours. I have a fenced yard for them to run as they please. Our pets are allowed on all furniture and beds, it's their home too!

About: My dog passed and I miss her company! So I love having visitors to keep me company and play with while working from home :) Work from home, I'm free to walk the dogs first thing the the morning, around noon and anytime in the evening and spend the whole day with them if needed :) Quiet home, no children, no smoking, no other dogs or cats - just fish n two birds, half way fenced Yard, but very safe. We can walk around the neighborhood, there is a park down the street as well and the back yard.
âChristie is the absolute best. She is super reliable, communicates, and truly cares for our dogs! The absolute best sitter we have ever used on Rover. I can not thank her enough!â

About: Im familiar with giving medication, and providing exceptional care for all animals. I've cared for pets most of my life, and I have 5 years of experience in an animal shelter caring for cats and dogs. It's very rewarding, and it's the best part of my day when I see the happy tails, hear the purring and receiving those kisses. I dont live in Denton, I live in Salisbury. I do travel for my clients,[up to 50 miles] only if youre in need of a sitter for more than 3 days. We can discuss even further during a meet n greet. My full time work is as a gig worker. I make my own schedule, so I am able to care for your pets at any time. I love animals! I provide a safe, and caring environment when I care your pets. I love them like they're my own. Care would be in your home, and I usually stay overnight, unless you would like daily care, then I would come a couple times per day to provide meals, scoop litter boxes, take daily walks, etc.

About: I love any kind of dog and will treat them as my own! Iâve had a dog almost my entire adult life and now greatly miss having one after mine passed away a few years ago. I work part time 10:30-4 Monday thru Friday. I am available before and after those hours. I take several walks a day as I like to stay active, but it is much more fun when there is a pet to accompany you! I have a large fenced in backyard and lots of toys to play with. My neighborhood is very pet friendly, has many sidewalks, and has lots of nice yards to poop in! I also have a park close by that is pet friendly. I will give your pet the love and attention they deserve!
About: I grew up with dogs. My brother has always had big dogs. My mom has always had small dogs. We have a farm in Montana where dogs are a big part of every day life. I have a fairly open schedule and am available most times of the day and night. I do not mind working off hours and could be flexible with most schedules. I currently have a rescue cat named Ru. She is all black and was at the humane society for almost 3 months before coming home to me. I love dogs and have had many different breeds and sizes over the years. Iâm hoping that we can fence in our new home so that I can rescue a new dog soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 245 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mardela Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mardela Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mardela Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Mardela Springs 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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 sitter.
