“Stevie absolutely LOVES staying with Robyn. We also greatly appreciate her communication while Stevie is with her. It is evident Stevie is treated like family when she stays! Thank you Robyn!!!”
“This was my first time boarding my 6-month puppy, but Claudia eased all my worries. I got tons of pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind. I could tell Stella had a great time. If you’re unsure about boarding your pet for the first time, you can trust Claudia!”
“Kelli and her husband took great care of my dog, Blizzard, who had a wonderful time playing with her dogs. Kelli was very caring and easy to work with. I highly recommend Kelli, and Blizzard would happily return for another getaway.”
“Amy and Thomas did an amazing job caring for Peter. He came home happy, healthy, and calm. I'm glad he had the opportunity to interact with their dog Phoebe. Phoebe is delightful and friendly. They communicated with messages and pictures throughout Peter's stay. We would definitely book with them again!”
“I was very happy with Mac's stay with Laurel. I had shared with her that Mac loves going on walks and she took him for two long walks. She shared with me how he was doing over the course of the day. I would use Laurel again without hesitation.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Our stay with Adriene was wonderful. Sheldon has only stayed overnight with family or a close friend previously. Adrienne’s home was so inviting and her 2 dogs were so sweet. Sheldon is a picky eater and she sat on the floor with him to help get him to eat. He had a great stay. :)”
“Candice was so kind and communicated extremely well while watching my dog. She was flexible, responsive, and made the entire experience stress-free. This was my dog’s first time staying with Candice, and everything went smoothly. I felt confident knowing my dog was in great hands, and I definitely plan to use her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“Justin and Stephanie will absolutely be our new go- to pet sitters. The pictures updates they sent said more than a thousand words! Our pup was loved and exercised daily. They followed all instructions and kept us in the loop with everything. 100/10 amazing.”
“Christie was very patient with our dog Ollie as he settled in to new surroundings. I appreciate that she was communicative and flexible. Would definitely recommend her to others.”
“We were very hesitant using a dog sitter. Our dog is a bit jumpy and we feared that she may be too much for her to handle not to mention we have never left her with anyone. Kelly was wonderful with her and sent daily updates including pics. It put our minds at ease and we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We will use her again.”
“Mark and Kayleigh were amazing, start to finish, while watching our sweet pup. They both clearly know and love dogs, their house and yard and wonderful and safe for pets. They were attentive to the dog, responsive to us while we were on our trip, and operate with respect and professionalism you’d hope for when letting someone watch over a part of your family. Can’t recommend them enough! Our Shiloh will absolutely be staying with them again on our next trip.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and I’ve raised my Labrador from a tiny puppy to the sweet senior she is today. Caring for her through every stage—training, high energy years, and now her slower senior days has given me hands on experience with all kinds of needs and personalities. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once and have handled overnight stays with up to six dogs for several days at a time. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, or just keeping everyone calm and happy, I’m comfortable managing a busy, furry household. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I would love to be able to help people out in my free time, whether that be just letting a dog out or taking them for a walk. I am completely available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until four. Even outside of these three days I have a lot of flexibility! I care for other people’s animals as if they are my own. I am a huge dog lover and always have enjoyed caring for them and spending time with them. I am more than happy to accommodate to any animals needs and would go out of my way to follow people’s requests for their fur babies!
“We were so pleased with how Bruiser’s stay went! He was excited to be there when we dropped him off and was all smiles when we picked him up. He got to make new friends and Coleen took excellent care of him. Communication was great and we got picture updates of the stay...we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Birol was amazing with Archer. He brought out sides of him we don't see at home. Briol was very flexible with drop off timing and we were able to coordinate a plan that worked for all of us in real time. Would love to have him watch our Aussie again.”
“I highly recommend Kaycie. She took excellent care of my senior dog. He was happy and I could tell he had bonded with her as he looked back when we left. It was cute. Thank you, Kaycie, for taking care of him!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pike Creek Valley
Andrew is a wonderful dog sitter and always answers any questions we have and accommodated our dog visiting/meeting Jimmy prior to staying. Our dog is very clearly comfortable there and immediately makes himself at home! Jimmy is a very good host too! Andrew sends photo updates regularly. We love knowing Finn is being well cared for and is having his own relaxing vacation :)
Christie was absolutely wonderful with our dog Zoe! She took such great care of her, kept us updated, and made sure Zoe was happy and comfortable the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We truly appreciate everything Christie did and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Celia took amazing care of my pet while I was on vacation. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. I could tell my pet was comfortable, happy, and well-loved the whole time. I truly appreciate her kindness and professionalism—highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pike Creek Valley home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Pike Creek Valley.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Pike Creek Valley sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in DE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
