“Kelly was amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter in the area. She was professional, reliable and really sweet with our older dog Scooter. We had complete peace of mind during our vacation knowing that Scooter was in good hands. We're already planning on using her during our next trip!”
About: I've had animals in my life forever. I grew up riding horses since age 3. I love animals from big to small. I've had pets from rats, lizards, dogs, and cats! I'll care for your fur baby as if they were my own! I have two dogs myself one is a 5 year old Chesapeake Retriever and the other is an 11 year old Ahlaspo. I have also had three cats withing the past 15 years who I adored. I've dog sat for the past 3 years as a side job and I love it ! I'm reliable and respectful of others homes, and give all my attention to the critters I'm watching! I can care for all their personal needs and make sure they're happy!
About: Growing up I have always lived helping others and even helping animals. As a young kid, I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. Although my college plan is to become a special education teacher, I have always had a passion for animals. I really enjoy giving animals a voice and creating special bonds with them. Over the years my family has rescued over 8 animals including dogs and cats. I have been dog sitting for 3 years now for family friends and I am willing to do it for anyone in need. Animals have always left an impact on my life and I hope I do the same to them. I am not doing this for the money but to help many animals in need, as well as their owners. I really hope I am able to give endless love to you pet or pets. Thank you.
“After another sitter canceled last minute, Emily was able to come in and watch my cats on short notice (over the holiday, at that!) She always did her check-ins in a timely manner and provided detailed updates. I’m very happy and would book with her again.”
“Lucia is fantastic. We are first time reptile owners and it was great to know that our sitter has a lot of experience taking care of tortoises. We were able to leave the country knowing Ged was in capable and caring hands. She is communicative and understanding of our needs. We will definitely be rebooking with Lucia in the future!”
About: Hello everyone! I have previously worked for a vet hospital for 2 years and have been doing Rover since 2019. While your pet is in my care I always watch their body language, eating habits, and anything out of the ordinary I will let you know. I am comfortable doing any medication and give supplements that are provided if any. Your pet will have a fun time and we will play with their favorite toys. I will always want to make your pet feel comfortable around me and will try to stay in routine while your away. I am so excited to see new dog friends and looking forward to meet the parents! I cannot wait to build new relationships with everyone. Thank you for taking a look at my profile. See you soon! I am currently working full time and would be taken care of before and after work depending on their feeding schedule. I have a dog door installed so there’s always the option for going outside at any point in time. When I’m not at work we play and snuggle especially at bed time. I have a fenced in yard with a super friendly golden retriever. The house has someone home especially on the weekends. My family and I love all animals so it’s a real treat when there’s a new dog.
About: We are a household of animal lovers! Both my husband and I have had dogs and cats all of our lives, even spent time training dogs to be good citizens and therapy dogs. We currently have four dogs and two kids. All of our dogs are rescues. They are super lovable and playful. We also volunteer for a beagle rescue and foster dogs. Your pets will get lots of snuggles and playtime when we watch and walk them. For visits and walks, your pup will love the snuggles and time spent playing and walking your area (or even going for a car ride or to a walking trail or dog park). For cat visits, we will give playtime indoors. We have helped many family members and friends with pet care when they are away. We have experience in all diets, giving oral meds and senior dog care. We hope that you will give our services a try. I am self employed and work from home. Typically available for mid day let out/walk. If your pet stays with us we have a great yard for play and we do multiple walks a day. We regularly foster dogs so our dogs are very comfortable with other dogs visiting. We treat any dog that stays with us or that we visit just like our own. We provide a loving, fun place for your pet while you are away.
About: We always had a family dog growing up, so I’ve been training, bathing, feeding and walking for as long as I can remember! I’ve taken daytime and overnight care of newborn pups to elderly dogs, as well as many cats, mostly belonging to friends (and friends of friends), so I’m excited to join Rover and help your pet get the love and care they deserve! I am currently working a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of opportunity to find a time that works to take care of your pet! I have my own transportation and a flexible schedule, so I am perfectly comfortable popping by to take care of your pet. I don’t have any dependents, so if overnight stays are what you need, I am happy to do that too! I keep a tidy house and tidy pet :)
About: I believe that dogs need walks!! Not just let out to go to the bathroom, but real physical activity! Dogs need to see the world around them - this makes there temperament better equipped to handle strangers and other animals. I have a sweet yellow lab who thinks she is human -- no, really!!!! My Jags wants to play all the time. She loves other dogs - we are a dog lovin family! I believe that giving dogs proper exercise is what may set me apart from other sitters -- Im a fast walker. I am a responsible adult who cares deeply for the comfort and well being of all animals!! Fresh water is a must as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thanks for considering me. I’m very flexible! I work from home and that allows me to be flexible with my schedule – thank you so much! I look forward to serving you! I care for each pet as my own- I love fitness and making sure dogs and cats get the care and attention they deserve and require!
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit! Pet care is my greatest passion and second job at home. I spend my mornings out in the fields with my horses and cows pitching hay, mucking stalls, and cuddling in the grass. I spend my evenings snuggled up with my 3 hound dogs on couch or landscaping my reptile and fish tanks for fun. I am open to the needs of all pets as I know people do things in their own way. I will carefully follow the instructions left by the client.
“Steve provides my cats with loving care while I am away. I have one cat who is difficult and can be unfriendly and he has won her over! He sends pictures of her sitting on his lap! He is always prompt and thoroughly cleans the litter box. I love the photo updates he sends while visiting with the cats - I can tell that they are well-cared for. He truly loves animals - it is very obvious from the care and attention they receive.”

About: Hi there! I love dogs and I have one very well trained pup of my own. Because of this, I am very understanding of any special requests you may have: training, timing, attention, etc. my rates are deeply discounted as I am a traveling house sitter. I love traveling to locations with a lot of outdoor activities and hiking and can make sure to keep your pup active! I work remote and am able to attend to your pup in the middle of the day and give more attention at the end of the work day. Daily routine would consist of a run in the morning, walk at noon, a long hike after 5. Dogs can be very selective with strangers. It’s important to not enter their bubble unless if they welcome you. To make sure they feel safe, I make sure to only approach them when they are facing me and make note of their “safe area” where they may go without being disturbed.
“Sky(Breanna) was amazing. She came to meet our pup b4 the scheduled booking which eased our Minda. She sent helpful messages and pictures and took her on such long walks. This service was great while we were in town for a festival and not having to leave her overnight in a strange kennel. Thanks to Rover and Sky!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 471 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Selbyville. 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 Selbyville 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 Selbyville 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 Selbyville 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 Selbyville. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
