“Dante was amazing! Our faith was terrified of him even growled at him, but he did not give up and was able to take her out for her walk. We got home from our day out and she was fine. He’s very professional and responds very quickly! I highly recommend !!!”
“Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine. My mom's dog absolutely loves her and whines at the door when he realizes that she's arrived. Margo is also great with my elderly mom. Hire her! You won't regret it.”
About: I've grown up around dogs and have cared for them my entire life, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether you have a high energy puppy, a relaxed senior, or somewhere in between, I am confident in my ability to meet their unique needs. I am skilled in administering oral medications, comfortable with crate training and leash manners, and knowledgable in calming techniques to help ease anxious pups. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I look forward to forming a loving, trusting bond with your fur baby! My schedule is currently very open; I am free 7 days a week and will be available all day to care for your pet whether you need someone to check in, go for a walk, or board! I treat every pet like family, ensuring your fur baby is loved and cared for like my own! I have a fenced in yard and located in a great neighborhood for walks. I have 2 adult cats who are more reserved and very well acquainted with dogs of all sizes. I keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so you always feel connected and informed. This house fully supports animals on the couch as well:)
About: I have a lifetime of experience and have owned pets of all shapes & sizes from hamsters, ducks, chinchillas to cats & dogs. I'm skilled in administering medication and caring for elderly pets. I will care for and love your babies just like my own. If you have any questions feel free to reach out & ask! I’m currently on work leave and home full-time, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to providing your cat with the care, companionship, and supervision they deserve. I’m able to maintain their regular routines, give them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, your cat will receive plenty of one-on-one attention while they’re in my care. I grew up with a cat and have continued to care for cats through fostering over the years. While I’m unable to board your sweet kitty in my home because of my dogs, I’d be more than happy to come to your home and provide them with plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never short on cuddles while you’re away

About: From puppies to older dogs, I've done it all: taking puppies out every 2 hours at night, specific medications at certain times throughout the day, to planned walks/runs. I have experience with puppy training fostering and now I'm training my own kitten. I'm a senior college student who has a lot of time to spare- especially on weekdays! I'm always available to take dogs on walks, jogs, or just for a quick little stop in. Treating fur-babies like my own has always been an easy feat for me. When it comes to home saftey, whether it be my own or a clients, simple communication goes a long way. House rules, schedules and specifications are always a big thumbs up from me!
About: I can take any type of animals!! Crazy, big, small, etc. I love em all. I’m very outgoing with them! And love playing and going on walks and talking to the animals!! My mom worked on Rover for a few years and I always helped out when her clients wanted her care but she wasn’t available. We had dogs stay at our house and it was just as fun for me as it was for them! My mom helped me realize this type of job and without a doubt I would love to do what she did! I am currently a student at Widener University. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I go to class 9 am to 10:50 am and I have another class from 1pm to 1:50pm. Mondays I am blocked off from 2pm to 4pm unfortunately. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a class at 9:30 to 10:50. For Tuesdays I go into the office 12-6pm but can always do a stop in before then! And Thursdays I have a later lecture from 6pm to 8pm. With my school schedule I have no problem making times work during the weekday! Weekends I basically have open availability. I have them in my view at all times!! I have good communications with dogs and make sure their needs are met by their body language.
“Carol is so friendly and really showed our dog Archer wonderful attention. I haven’t felt comfortable with other dog walkers in the past due to bad experiences but Carol put me right at ease and made me feel confident that our dog would be safe and sound while I was traveling. She is very communicative and punctual. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Thank you Carol!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my entire life. I love to treat them like they are little humans. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I bring a calm, loving presence to every pet I care for.

Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a reliable routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work full time but I can pop in before or after work and on weekends. I am open to other times if it works for the both of us. My schedule can be flexible depending the week! I am available in Wilmington de and Brookhaven, PA area! You will receive the best photos so you can frame! 🐈📸🐾 I have two cats in my Household currently.

My schedule is flexible for dog boarding overnight, daytime walks and potty breaks, cat check ins, & feedings. For dog boarding, if your pup has special items that you feel would make their stay more comfortable at my home, please feel free to send any additional items along (blankets, toys, dog bed, etc) I guarantee the safety of your pet, in your home or mine.

Margo was absolutely superb. She did such a wonderful job with biscuit. He really enjoyed his walk with her and definitely will be using her again. She made me feel extremely comfortable being. It’s my first time using Rover. I love how she interact with biscuit and how he claims to her thank you so much, Margo.
Theo has been an amazing walker with my Newfoundland Tiny! He’s incredibly communicative and on time for every walk. On days when Tiny wasn’t feeling up to a long walk, Theo found ways to get him moving in the backyard and brought him back happy and ready to chill out.
Karen was fantastic! She was always punctual, dependable, and so patient with my anxious senior dog. She took the time to earn his trust and never rushed him, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care and appreciated the updates along the way. I would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog walker.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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, you’ll 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 walker.
