“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!”
“I’m thankful for Kari & Jospeh’s family for loving and caring my baby like their own, it was stress free time during his stay we’re I don’t have to worry about how he is doing since he is in great hands. My boy would love to come back again,”
“I had to use rover last minute for my pup and Yvonne was very helpful working around my last minute schedule. I received lots of pictures and updates on Karma throughout the day. Thank you Yvonne!”
“Mike was fantastic sitter for axel! We were sent daily photos and updates and knew he was in great hands while we were away for a week. We were sent updates and would definitely use Mike again.”
“Edgar was awesome!! Day was right at home as soon as he got there. He loved having a friend to play with during his stay. We received great updates with pics. Perk for me is he’s right around the corner. I’ll absolutely be using him again.”
“Andres did a great job with our two 1 year old dogs. Both came home happy as Andres has plenty of room for them to run around and play. It's our first Rover experience and we were both relieved to find a sitter with plenty of experience. I would recommend Andres.”
“Lindsey took care of Sydney for a night. When I was there to drop off, the kids and the family welcomed Sydney and made her comfortable. Lindsey provided frequent updates which I greatly appreciate. Sydney had a great stay at Lindsey's.”
“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.”
“Kayla was great and was able to accommodate me and my dog on very short notice. She’s incredibly caring and was great with updating me during my boarding time. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Raelyn and her family treated my dogs Mawz and Rubeus so wonderfully. I think Mawz would have been perfectly happy to never have come home. She has found furever friends with Raelyn! Rubeus was more "cautious," as Raelyn described him. We were kind of surprised because he is usually so ADHD, but we could tell that he'd also been treated extremely well. We so appreciated that Raelyn is obviously a lover of dogs and took good care of our fur babies. They had a great time and we will definitely be calling on Raelyn in the future!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Brian and his family are the best when it comes to watching our boy. Our big Golden recently developed a fear of thunderstorms and sure enough, it thundered the last two times Brian watched him. Brian and his family treated our boy like he was there own and comforted him through the storms. We are so grateful.”
“Alyssa and Marcus were great. They took great care of Barney and kept me posted with pictures during his stay. I would recommend them to others looking for good and responsible dog sitters.”
“Totiyana provided such a loving experience for our fur baby, Emmie. She is not used to being around other dogs especially big dogs but Totiyana help her get comfy and before you knew it Emmie was settled. We appreciate Totiyana’s flexibility and being able to take our last minute request! Such a blessing! We appreciate her care so much we booked two weekends in a row! Looking forward for future bookings for boarding our needs.”
About: I’ve have been a dog owner all throughout my life. I currently have a golden retriever that is three year old named Steve. I know level 1 and level 2 dog training techniques. And enjoy taking dogs for long walks to get their energy out. I live five minutes from my job and can come home if needed and never work weekends. My wife works from home 3 out of 5 week days. I have a large fenced in yard (.75 acres) and a dog friendly golden retriever named Steve. I have an extra crate available if your pet needs crating.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Port Penn can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Port Penn 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 Port Penn.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Port Penn. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Port Penn 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
