“We’ve used Trenton for house sitting for our 3 dogs, and have been pleased both times! We’ll continue to book him when we need care for our kiddos. Great communication and our dogs were very well cared in their regular routine.”
“Em took fantastic care of my dogs! Very attentive to detail and so communicative. Took awesome care of my dogs and my home for me, would 100% recommend and rebook in the future! Thank you Em”
“Halley was awesome! Super responsive and very kind. She treated our house with respect and our little beagle was a happy fella when we got home! Hoping to stay in touch with Halley for our dog sitting!”
“Sarah is an absolute joy and we feel so lucky that she was our house sitter to care for our elderly cat. She gave us peace of mind and we knew he was well cared for and that she could handle any emergency. The house was spotless when we came home. Recommend without any hesitation and feel lucky that we can finally travel again.”
About: I've rescued several wild animals over the years as well as volunteered for the Peninsula ASPCA. I have 5 pets at home as well I think the world of and each are highly unique and need different attention. I've had pets my whole life and have always had Siberian Huskies. I cannot imagine a home without a furry friend and believe they always deserve my 100% because they are the best parts of what makes a house feel livable for me. Learning body language and specific sounds since I was just learning to walk that its my second nature. My best friend having guinea pigs for years too, I've learned how to even care for smaller exotic pets I do the cat pan and brush my pets and make sure their water fountain in clean and running with the filters. Clip their nails when long and play and treat them in training. The cats get proper cuddle time and the dogs fluffed and hugged. For my cat Bucky he need quiet time with little stimulation in my room away from the others. I will treat any pet as my own and learn what their balance is so they have the best care I can offer. Learning their personalities and quirks to ensure their safety, my safety, and certainly their comfort
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up with family pets and caring for my own dogs over the years has given me a lifelong appreciation for the special bond we share with our animals. I've also responsibly cared for other people's pets, both during the day and overnight, including dogs, cats, and even birds! Although I don't currently have pets of my own, that's actually one of the reasons I'm excited to join Rover. I'd love the opportunity to give your pets extra love, attention, and companionship while you're away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I would treat yours with the same care, patience, and affection I'd want someone to give my own! I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule that doesn't follow a typical Monday–Friday, 9–5 routine. I'm happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their pets' needs and routines. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, house sitting, and overnight stays in your home. Whether your fur baby needs a midday visit, some extra playtime, or company while you're away, I'd love to help make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for! I understand that inviting someone to care for your pets and into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll respect your home, carefully follow your pet's feeding schedule and care instructions, and make sure their routines are maintained as closely as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos during visits or stays so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are receiving attentive, loving care while you're away!
“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! Both of my fur babies. She was wonderful with communication and sending me pictures of them. She watched them in my home and left my home tidy and clean I will happily be booking with her in the future”
About: I love animals with all my heart!! I currently have a high energy large German Shepard and Lab at home who I adore. I am great with all breeds and not scared of reactive dogs. I am very patient and dedicated to making sure all pets are safe, happy and well taken care of. I don’t own any cats, but I love them just the same and I am more than willing to accommodate!! I am currently a student and I do most of my school work from home leaving lots of free time for pet care, I am very flexible with my hours and I can do early mornings / late nights My German Shepard Waylon and our roomates lab, Carl, are my responsibilities most days of the week. I spoil them with walks, pup cups and car rides daily. We do projects at home and I honestly treat them like real kids. I will gladly do the same for other people’s pets. I know each pet is different with their own personalities and needs.
About: I've loved dogs my entire life and have grown up with them since I was a toddler. Since December 2024, I've worked at Pawscienda in Montpelier, VA, where I've been trained as a Lead Kennel Technician. In that role, I care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and even the occasional bunny! My experience includes feeding, administering medications, monitoring behavior and health, maintaining clean and safe environments, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I also have a one year old, fully trained puppy of my own, which has given me even more hands-on experience with training, patience, and understanding a dog's individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs special medical care, I'll make sure they receive the same attention and care I'd want for my own. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. My classes are Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Fridays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Outside of class, I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to work with owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I will also be available some weekends and can accommodate morning, evening, or overnight care if necessary. No matter what, i'll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At this time, I only offer care in my clients' homes, allowing pets to stay in the environment they're most familiar with and comfortable in. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'll follow your instructions carefully. From feeding schedules and walks to medications and any special care they may need. I will treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for every step of the way.
About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!
About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of 2025 :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) and so starting in November 2026 my 40 hours will be WEDNESDAY afternoon thru SATURDAY night. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 7am to 12pm. Sunday thru Tuesday I will be totally available. There is some flexibility with my full time work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. See my reviews / testimonials on the WAG! platform for pets I have provided care for most recently. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.
“I have a problem eater 15 year old Yorkie. Matthew worked patiently with my little guy, coaxing him to eat. This was also the first time my Yorkie had been without me in all his life and he was very upset at first. Matthew worked to calm him down and ultimately Laddie was happy to be with his new "brother". He sent lots of pics and videos. He was great; I highly recommend this young man.”
“Cassandra took amazing care of our pup, she kept us up-to-date, and made us feel comfortable knowing that our dog was in the best of hands while we were out of town!”
“Felicia was great with my poodles. She also was very respectful of my house and our routines. I highly recommend her if you are looking for reliable pet care. She did an awesome job!”
“Tiffany was amazing with our two huskies. Her experience in animal welfare and with the breed gave me so much peace of mind. She followed the instructions I left for her to care for our babies perfectly and we came back to two happy dogs. She also sent a lot of cute pics and plenty of detailed updates! Thank you so much Tiffany, we will definitely be booking with you again:) Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like they’re my own, paying close attention to their routine, personality, and comfort. I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require extra care, slower walks, or medication support. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I truly care about making both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable and consistent for every booking. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get the attention, feeding, and interaction they’re used to. Whether it’s quick drop-ins or longer visits, I’m committed to being on time and keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay close attention to their behavior and environment to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and tidy, including maintaining litter boxes and feeding areas. I always make sure doors, windows, and entry points are secure, and I’m mindful about preventing escapes—especially with indoor cats. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at ease and you have complete peace of mind.
About: I offer pet sitting, dog walking, baths, to give your pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I have dogs of my own who are treated like royalty, so I understand that our pets aren’t just animals — they’re family! I have 7 years of pet-sitting experience and have also completed an internship at a veterinary hospital. Your pets’ comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my priority. During each visit, I typically spend at least 30 minutes with your pets, with multiple visits available as needed. I’ll make sure they’re fed, get plenty of playtime, enjoy walks if requested, and receive lots of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friends to see how I can help make your time away a little easier and give you peace of mind! 🐾❤️ During week days I do walks / feeding in the morning , have a potty break 12-1 and then come back 5-6 for a walk & dinner & another let out around 9ish. Typically it’s how the owners have their yards set up but I do multiple walks a day with the pups and lots of play time!

The average cost of House Sitting in Seaford is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $40 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Seaford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Seaford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Seaford 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!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Seaford. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
