About: I have trained two vivacious pups from 8 weeks old as well as walked a blind senior pug with diabetes. I love to be outside, keep a clean home, and keep a very close eye on any dog I'm with. I may be a bit of a paranoid dog mom to some but pet safety and happiness are very important to me. I'm currently working part time after moving to Delaware from South Carolina to be closer to my partner's family and new job. I am available to walk during the workdays M-F right now. I can board or house sit any evening. I have a fenced in yard. My landlord lives upstairs with three friendly Pomeranians but I have a separate entrance if your pup is not feeling friendly. I have tile and hardwood floors, no carpet.

Diana was wonderful with my pup! He gave her a bit of a hard time going outside at first since he’s used to only going out with me, but she was patient and he quickly warmed up to her. She kept me updated with great communication and sent pictures the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much, Diana!

Maria was great with my cat while I was away for two weeks. She sent daily updates with photos, which gave me an immense peace of mind. Cleaned the litter boxes and fed my cat according to the instructions we discussed during our meet & greet. She even managed to win over my very shy cat who usually hides from strangers. We returned to a very happy, relaxed cat. Highly recommend!"

About: I’ve had my own dog for 15 years now. I have done favors for many friends/family/neighbors of mine helping them with their animal while away. I can go on daily walks with your dog. Weekends are my ideal availability, but I can accommodate through the week if necessary, even if it’s just to check in on a cat to make sure they have food and water. I have a fenced backyard for my older dog. We do go on walks daily when cognitively he is able too. I can crate the dog if necessary. I give baths monthly and always make sure to have treats for him.

About: Hey my name is Taleem I’ve cared for pets my whole life basically from turtles chinchillas and bunny’s to lap dogs mastiffs and horses I’m well experienced and genuinely care about your pets well being. Potty breaks and training is not a problem I allow dogs on my furniture and bed I live in a smoke free home that is also an apartment I’m not too far from Griffith park so walks there are common for me; I’m a pretty active person because I am a student athlete. I’m currently in my sophomore year and just looking for extra ways of income and caring for animals has always came naturally to me, and I came to love it at a young age so why not do what you love and get paid.

About: I’ve spent years caring for and training dogs, including raising and training four Australian Cattle Dogs—a breed known for its intelligence and high energy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, reinforce good behaviors, and confidently handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked dogs for several of my mom’s clients throughout the Hockessin and Wilmington area. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and personalized care while treating every dog as if they were my own. I am home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and affection. Being home full-time also allows me to closely monitor each dog’s well-being, maintain their routine, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for like one of my own in a safe, loving home environment. I have a fully fenced 0.6-acre yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. They’ll also have the companionship of my three friendly, well-socialized dogs if they enjoy being around other dogs. Throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of exercise, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and affection. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away.

Lovely human! We are very anxious about leaving our baby with others after a past poor experience, but we felt more than comfortable leaving her with Rachel! She clearly loves our furbabies and takes amazing photos of them :)

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets in my own home including dogs, cats, birds, and a few reptiles. I love taking my dog to the woods for long walks (anywhere from 5-15 miles) so you can count on me not to slack on your pets needs. Every time I take care of someone else’s dog, I tire them out with my long walks and they always love it. I just recently graduated from high school and am looking for a summer/gap year job. My days are usually filled with going to the gym and walking my dog so pet sitting is easily integrated into my schedule. I am available to take care of pets in my own home as long as they can get along with my dog, although I would prefer house sitting since I live with my parents and two siblings. I have a fenced in backyard and a front yard that my dog likes to hangout in on a lead. I can follow any feeding/walking schedule and rules surrounding your pet. Additionally, I am a pretty organized person and can keep your space clean and well maintained while house sitting. I hope to hear from you soon and I’m super excited to provide my services!!

About: I have been dog sitting since I was a kid. My neighbors, friends, and family would always reach out to me to care for their dogs while away or just to walk and let them out on a busy day. I have some experience training dogs, grooming them, and giving medications. I have also helped foster dogs! I am active and love to walk and play with pups but can also act as a great companion or company! I work 3 days out of the week. I am looking to care for pets on the days that I am not working. My schedule differs each week. I am looking for something to keep me busy and entertained on those days! I am safe and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. I am comfortable coming into your home and handling your pet and of course cleaning up their messes! I love being outside, playing and being active! But I also love hanging out and being a companion when your fur baby needs it.

About: Whether your pup needs energetic playtime, gentle strolls, or special attention due to age or health conditions, I provide reliable and loving care. My commitment to understanding each dog's unique personality and needs sets me apart from others. I’m also trained in basic obedience and enrichment techniques, ensuring that every walk is both fun and fulfilling for your furry friend. Let’s work together to keep your dog happy, healthy, and well-exercised! I’m currently an online college student with tons of free time! Anything to get me out of the house and especially caring for fur babies! I currently only accept in house visits, but in the future would love to invite your pups to my home! I provide dog waste bags and my travel water bottle for long walks!

About: Hello! My name is Lily, and I have been taking care of pets for nearly 12 years. I adopted my first dog over 11 years ago. She had a lot of trauma from before we adopted her, and so have other dogs we have adopted, so I have plenty of experience with anxious “problematic” pets! I have owned 4 rescues in my life which all had their own quirks, and I have also watched dogs and cats for many people in my community. I have watched puppies and senior dogs who need help going to the bathroom. I have watched cats with three legs, cats who always get out, and even lizards! I absolutely love animals and I would love to get to know you and your fur babies. Message me if you have any questions! I’m currently working full-time in Wilmington DE, but unfortunately in this economy that’s not enough! I am available early in the mornings (before 8am), at lunch time, and after 5pm for walks and visits. I can do overnight stays as well, and I am always available on the weekends! Everyone has their own particular preferences for their pet. Some allow pets on furniture or in the bed, and some exclusively use a crate. Some dogs may love walks, while others prefer to run around in the backyard. I have worked with many different owners and pets and I will adjust to whatever is best for your pet! As for me personally, there is a wonderful dog park near my apartment that I take my dog to almost daily, she loves it! She doesn’t love walks and prefers to run around freely, and it allows her to play with other dogs and socialize! Every dog has different needs and I will make sure to meet them.

About: I've had dogs for most of my life, but the last few years I've been taking care of my diabetic dog, Dixie. Taking care of her has taught me a lot, like how to account for specific dietary restrictions, handle maintenance medications, and how to help her live an easier life after her diagnosis and the eventual loss of her sight and hearing. Because of her, I know how to care for and handle animals with similar restrictions, and I couldn't be more grateful. At the moment, I'm available virtually every afternoon except for Tuesdays, so I can easily and reliably fit your pet care needs into my schedule. At home, I have 3 dogs and a cat, all with personalities varying from eccentric and energetic to reserved and individualistic. I'm used to pets ranging from small to large, and can account for any dietary/medical restrictions.

About: I pet sit for my neighbors when they go away, I'll stay with them and make sure they're okay throughout the night. I also walk their dogs when they need me to while they're at work or stuck out longer than they expected. I was also walking for another company for a while. I own two cats and two dogs of my own. I'm very sociable with animals and can take care of many different kinds. I've also worked with multiple different breeds of dogs and cats. Big dogs and small dogs alike. As well as different breeds of cats. I've also worked with lizards and bearded dragons, and guinea pigs. Any animal you may have, I can take care of for you, without any type of issue! I’m currently doing online school for the summer and there is no set times that I need to be on doing schoolwork. I’ll be free at any time! When a client books with me for the first time, I always make sure to meet the dog while the owners are there so the dog can see that I’m okay to be in their home.

About: Back home, I rescued and cared for several dogs while helping them recover and find loving, responsible families. I have always felt a deep connection to animals and enjoy spending time with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I learn quickly and follow instructions carefully to ensure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing their happiness and well-being. I work part-time and online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I am available throughout the week and can provide regular attention, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that consistency is important for pets, and I do my best to maintain their usual schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I personally prefer house sitting because pets are often happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special instructions provided by their family. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while providing attentive, loving, and reliable care. If needed, I may be able to host pets in my apartment on a case-by-case basis, but my primary focus is providing care in the pet’s own home where they feel safest and most comfortable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Pennsville on Rover is $20.69 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,874 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pennsville. 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 Pennsville 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 Pennsville 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 Pennsville 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 Pennsville. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
