Mary Sue exceeded our expectations!! By far the best Rover experience we’ve ever had and we have had SO SO MANY all over the U.S. She sent us updates with pictures a few times a day around the same time which we really appreciated. She was so sweet and kind and made sure our dogs were taken care of. They loved being with her and I can’t wait for Mary Sue to watch them again next year!!

We had such a wonderful experience leaving our 11 year old Chihuahua with Kathy. This was the first time we left Tootsie with someone after having her 2 years. Tootsie has a bad back and seizure medication to take. Kathy was very careful to listen to all our concerns. She updated us twice daily with a lovely note about her day and a picture. We knew she was in great hands and we enjoyed our week with no worries. Tootsie had a wonderful time and had all her needs met. She had multiple walks a day and lots of attention. I highly recommend Kathy without any hesitation!

Daniel watched our dog, Curie, for the day while my husband and I were visiting friends in the area. He was communicative, attentive, and friendly. We appreciated the regular updates even though we had just dropped her off for the day. We’d definitely have him take care of Curie again!

We could not be happier than we are with the service, communication, care and love Sophie received from both Susan and Bob. We had a last minute emergency and they accommodated us so quickly and made us feel so comfortable leaving our baby. You can tell immediately how much they both absolutely adore all the pups. They treat them as their own and are very flexible to accommodate your pet’s specific wants and needs. When we picked Sophie up, Susan even had a water container for the car ready for us knowing it was a long drive. We will be back! Thank you!!!

We moved to the area recently and searched for a new pet sitter. My husband and I could not be anymore happier with the care Karen and Sean provided to our Molly! Our Molly felt right at home on her first stay. Karen and Sean took Molly on walks and gave her plenty of playtime. Definitely will be using Karen again in the future ❤️

Leaving our dog, Mazie with Sandee gives us total peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and communicative, sending us multiple updates and photos daily. It is comforting to see how happy and relaxed Mazie is in her care. We always return to a happy, healthy dog and feel completely confident that everything is taken care of. We're very grateful that we have found her and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and experienced sitter.

About: Growing up in a home filled with the joyful barks of dogs and the gentle chirps of a parakeet, my love for animals started early. For over a decade, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from playful pups and curious cats to turtles and farm animals. My passion doesn't stop at basic care—I'm an adventurer at heart and love taking dogs on outdoor escapades. Whether it's a leisurely walk through the park or a thrilling hike in the hills, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and excitement they crave (couch potatoes welcome too) and treat them like family. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I do work a 8-5 job but it is mostly remote with occasional in-person days, allowing me to be at home most of the time. I have a 3.5 year old furbaby (neutered, up to date on all shots, and on all preventatives) who is friendly and loves to play with any dog. He is crate trained as well.

Lamar and his family are absolutely amazing! We found out at the last minute that our Airbnb didn’t allow pets, and I was devastated trying to find someone I could trust to care for my little guy. From the moment we met Lamar, he made us feel so welcome and immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout Gus’s stay, he sent us photos and updates, which meant so much and reassured us that he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s clear that Lamar is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely loves animals. I am so grateful we found him, especially on such short notice. I highly recommend Lamar to anyone looking for exceptional pet-sitting services. We will absolutely choose him again whenever we’re back in Ocean City. I only wish he lived closer to us!

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful experience for my dog and myself. This was the first time that my dog, Caera, spent time (3 nights) with a non-family member. From the time I made the booking, we met briefly with Neena, and throughout her booking, Neena kept the lines of communication open, via text and pics! I absolutely would re-book with Neena, as Caera seemed to enjoy her stay; and I love the fact that I have found an outstanding alternate caregiver for Caera.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was 14-years-old. I was an active volunteer at Humane Animal Partners in Rehoboth Beach and have helped organize multiple donation drives for the SPCA. I’ve had pets my entire life. I have 4 years experience caring for dogs and cats in Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Harbeson, and Milford. I work a hybrid job that is really flexible in days and times. I can work any pet care demands into my schedule. If I am not working from home, I am on the roads, making drop ins and walking throughout the day no problem. I love to give your animals as much care and attention they need. Whether it’s walks or play time, I’m available for whatever your animals require.

Can’t say enough how well our Sally was treated on her vacation from us! Irena and her family welcomed Sally as one of their own while we were away! Irena sent photo updates to us and we knew our girl was being well taken care of! Vacationing in Ocean City at a pet-unfriendly place? Bring your furbaby to Irena during your stay. Live in Ocean Pines or thereabouts? Irena is the perfect person to take in your beloved while you’re away!

Katie was a wonderful find. She was able to take Emma last minute, when I was in a panic for a sitter. She asked great questions about my pup and what she was allowed (and not allowed) to do. Katie took her on walks and sent photos. I highly recommend her, she was absolutely wonderful.

Kate was wonderful and Mr. Peanut settled in quite quickly with her AND her two own dogs. Peanut is very picky at who he likes and doesn't like. But he got along with the pack and as a doggie mom, that made me feel good. I will definitely use Kate again. As far as the Rover website, there looks to be some logistical issues. On my screen, it told me Kate was 82miles away, but a 30min drive. Please get that fixed. Rover for me was hard to use. I like simple. But Rover has all these twists and turns. For example, I was not allowed to just message sitters. I was forced to pick dates. I had been looking for a new babysitter for Mr. Peanut since we just moved, but Rover made me wait til I needed someone asap, which made my experience stressful. Not good. We should be able to meet and talk to these folks before we book. After all, we are parents, and we all should be allowed to interview these sitters much like we would if they were our human children. Thankfully Kate worked out. But it could have gone a lot smoother. Thanks Kate (and daughter!)

I can't recommend Brenda highly enough for her exceptional dog sitting service. I was initially worried about leaving my dog, with someone else, as I had never left him with anyone before. He's a recent rescue from a shelter, and his well-being is incredibly important to me. However, Brenda's approach and genuine love for animals immediately put my mind at ease. She treats the dogs as if they were her own, never locking them in crates, and her friendly, kind, and compassionate nature makes working with her a delight. Brenda's professionalism and courteous approach, coupled with her attentive and reassuring demeanor, created a stress-free experience, especially for a first-time dog parent like me. Her dedication to treating the dogs like family is truly commendable, and her service is rooted in compassion and professionalism. With Brenda, it feels like I'm leaving my dog with a trusted friend, not just a dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again and again. Thank you, Brenda!

FAQs for Boarding - Selbyville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 156 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Selbyville. About 94% of Selbyville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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 pet, 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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
