“Dog whisperer. Very upbeat, energetic. Provided details on visits and seems to love her job. Was always on time and stayed for the entire durations. Everything you’d want in a sitter for your pet. This was our first time using the service. We will definitely select her next time we need sitter services.”

About: I’ve always had a furry friend by my side, since as long as I could remember. I provide reliable, patient, and personalized care to each pet I care for. I love both dogs and cats, no matter breed, size, or personality, I always make sure they’re safe and comfortable. As a responsible pet sitter/walker, I keep owners updated and follow routine in order to keep your pet happy and loved while you’re away:) Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible weekday schedule. I’m currently a student at Wilmington University, while balancing mutiple side incomes as a 23 year old in today’s world. I’m available throughout the week for walks or drop-in visits, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet's needs. I care for every pet like they're my own. I follow their usual routine, make sure they have food, water, exercise, and lots of attention, and I always follow the owner's instructions. My priority is keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable.

About: I have taken care of many animals and give the best care I can while sharing pictures and updates to the owner. I can work with food motivated animals to do simple tricks. I am starting college shortly but I still will dedicate as much time as I can to taking care of animals. Breaks and days I don't have classes will be for anyone needing pet care! I have a car and can go to clients' houses and take care of their pets, as I have done often for friends and neighbors. I have a partially fenced yard for leashed play. I am in a house under construction but the top floor is finished and houses my two kittens. Calmer dogs would be better if coming into my house, otherwise I am able to care for any size or personality in the owners house.

About: I once fostered a very cute polydatcyl cat named Cleo and enjoyed every moment of having a fur friend around. I did not mind at all the responsibilities involved in her care and wellbeing. It only lasted for a year but I am sure Cleo remembers/misses me as much as I miss her. I respect all forms of life and I aspire to gain trust and experience in my community. I currently have full time availability. I do have extensive professional background working in leadership roles so I am very responsible and have always prioritized humanity over production. I also enjoy cooking in my free time. While in a client's home, I am very observant of hazards and potential causes for problems. My time will be spent fully attentative to the unique care instructions left by the pets family and also will remain acutely aware of the pets wellbeing for the entire duration of my stay. I have foundational knowledge in cat and dog behavior as well as an understanding of appropriate first aid if ever needed.

You will enjoy that I will give your dog/dogs my full attention.I will give them tons of loving pets and hugs as well as play with them until they want to quit! I will also clean up after them after they go to the bathroom. In addition, I can feed them and fill up their water bowls. Anything your dogs need I will try to provide.

I can’t wait to meet your adorable furry friend in the near future and can’t wait to work with you! I’m currently a new mom who works part-time so my schedule is very clear! I am free for walks, boarding, and day care any day of the week :) My house has a big yard which makes it very easy for quick potty trips and play. In addition my neighborhood is nice and big with fun trails and parks nearby that I can take your furry friends to! I can crate your dogs if needed and they are also allowed on furniture if that’s what they are used to :)

About: I have taken care of all sorts of pets since I was a kid, but dogs and cats are what I am most used to. I have experience walking dogs, dog sitting in others homes(overnight too), and some experience caring for cats(cousins and friends). I have 3 golden retrievers at home in NY ranging from ages 1-8 and I care about them SO much, so I always want to ensure their safety. I feed them, walk them, and have endless playtime with them. My goal is to always ensure your pets safety, just as I would for mine:) I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Delaware and I’m on the club soccer team at UD! Don’t worry, I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have SO much time between my classes during the week, time on weekends, and after my clinicals on Thursday and Friday’s! I am here to help! I live in a town house at Delaware in which I am able to bring your pet to! There is a fenced in tennis court and park a quick 2 minute walk away that I would take the doggy day out dogs to! I have taken care of pets in the homes of family, friends, and clients. I ensure to go into the house with a calm manor and let the pet get used to me before I walk them, play, or feed them. I have three golden retrievers myself that I care for and always want to ensure their safety. I will always make sure to ensure your pets safety too!

About: I haven’t taken care of dogs professionally but I have always had a deep love for dogs. I have owned an American Bully and English Bulldog on my own and have had multiple family dogs growing up. Having my own dogs, I have gone through the process of training two different types of temperaments and am looking forward to engaging/learning about more! I currently work from home as an accountant M-F. I have the flexibility to leave and return as needed. I could take my laptop if I needed to be around for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, I have the ability to use my flexibility to be present. I have an open living room setup and an English bulldog of my own to keep them company as well. We go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to try and exert the energy of whatever dog I am with at the time (so they don’t have much time to miss their parents 😂). I have room to crate the dogs if needed and also a pet camera that helps with monitoring.

About: Hi my name is Evan! let’s begin with a little bit about myself to make sure that I am the perfect sitter/walker for you and your furry companions. Firstly it’s been a really big passion of mine to be able to work with all different kinds of animals and breeds. I have experience with mostly dogs, but I’m open to working with different types of animals as well because I believe in the importance of building and connecting with my pet parents from all different backgrounds. While giving you the full reassurance needed in order to feel comfortable and secure when entrusting me with your pet companion, I can assure you that I will give them the best possible care and support they deserve and need. I’ve worked with small breeds half my life and now I was given a chance to care for three larger dogs in my recent years. through the differences between caring for a small breeds and going into caring for a larger breeds I have learned more about the ways that they interact and how they respond to certain conditions. I’m capable of handling situations which call for a lot of patience and compassion. The example I want to make when working with your pet comes down to understanding who the pets are and how they will react. I’ve worked with not so social pets and overly social ones as well, before me and your pet will interact or leave the house I will build up a circle of trust and connection to see what kind of personality that they will have. I know from prior experience that some pets are not fans of each other or people and have a difficult time regulating their own emotions unless they’re are familiar with a specific environment or trigger. Some have the tendency to shy away and lean more towards the comfort of having someone who will help them feel safe and calm when around them. This is my specialty. This would be the part where we form an understanding and get to know all the important details about your pet, as someone who is still learning don’t feel pressured if I ask any questions my intentions are to make sure I know everything I need in order to give you and your pet the best possible experience I can offer. and it’s my favorite part about working with pet parents. thank you for viewing my profile and hopefully I met the requirements that you have been looking for have a great day! My schedule's flexible. Contact me for availability, especially early mornings or late evenings. Ready to discuss at your convenience. Let's find the perfect time together! When sitting for someone I treat their home with respect and care, I follow the instructions given and when checking in or staying overnight my main focus is on their pets needs and attention.

About: Hi, my names Samantha! Thank you for considering me as a sitter. My family consists of myself, husband, toddler twin boys, our own dog Tank plus, our cats. We live in a smaller ranch home so we only board one family at a time. Because of this, your dog becomes part of our family for the duration of their stay. If they like sleeping on the couch or bed at home, then they have the freedom to do the same at our house. We follow the same schedule you have at home the best to our abilities. We’re both early risers and night owls so we’re flexible when it comes to potty breaks. Both my husband and I work full time but with our schedules dogs aren’t left alone for more than 8 hours on a typical day. We have a good sized fenced in yard for your furbaby to run around and sniff in. We also have a nice size neighborhood if your pet enjoys walks weather permitting of course. We look forward to loving your fur baby as much as you do! I currently work a full time job but I’m off work in the afternoon and on the weekends. We spend plenty of time at home to make sure your furbaby has our attention and isn’t alone for long. Your furbaby becomes a member of our family while staying with us. We have a nice sized fenced in yard that your fur baby can romp around in. We also have a decent size neighborhood for walks!

About: As a pet caregiver, I focus on more than just feeding and walking—I build trust, comfort, and real connection with every animal I care for. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs, offering personalized attention. Whether it’s extra playtime, gentle reassurance, or thoughtful updates to keep you in the loop, I treat every pet as if they’re my own. With me, your pet receives consistent, one-on-one care and genuine love—giving you peace of mind every time you’re away. I’ve had all types of animals growing up and would bring home all the strays. I currently work as a daycare teacher and get done at 2pm go home and let my own dogs out and then im ready to meet your loving animals you can book me from 3pm till 10pm I have a fenced in big backyard the dogs have plenty of room to run and have fun, play and use the bathroom as many times they need.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have been the proud owner of my own dog for the past 1.5 years. Caring for my own dog has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training, grooming, and recognizing their individual needs. Growing up with dogs has also taught me how to interact with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or just providing companionship, I’m committed to following each pet’s routine and making them feel safe and comfortable. I also make time to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, receive any medications if needed, and have lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and secure and provide regular updates with photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I make sure each pet has access to fresh water, follows their normal feeding schedule, and gets individualized care based on their personality and needs.

“Ryan was great with my large-breed, hyper-active dog! I really only required that he feed and put her in the yard to do her thing but he went above and beyond to take her on walks and play fetch. He even sent me updates and pictures while I was away! Remi’s separation anxiety has kept me from going on trips. This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous and skeptical leaving her alone at first, but with Ryan I felt 100% confident that she was well taken care of, which meant I could fully enjoy my recent trip! I will absolutely be contacting Ryan for future visits!”

Alison is quite literally the best! This is our second time using Alison’s services and our shy girl Mookie just loves her! I’ve never seen our cat warm up to someone as quickly as she warmed up to Alison! Knowing Alison was there for Mookie during our vacation made everything less stressful. Would recommend Alison to anyone looking for a very kind and very reliable pet sitter who will give your fur baby the love and attention and care they need. Thank you again Alison!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pike Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pike Creek is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $48 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 4,074 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pike Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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 sitter’s 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, 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 sitter.
