Kasey was absolutely wonderful with our cats! This was a follow-up booking and once again she exceeded our expectations. She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about our pets. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean, well-kept home. It’s such a relief knowing we can travel and fully trust that our cats are in great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Kasey again - highly recommend!

I feel very comfortable when Melanie is watching Dewey. I know he is being taken care of. She always does small things like bring packages and mail in, which I really appreciate.

Carlie was amazing with our Binx! Our feeder went offline and she went into action! She posted photos and followed up with us to make sure we knew we didn’t have to worry. Can’t recommend Carlie enough!

I recently had the pleasure of having Aneta take care of my cat while I was away, and I couldn't be more pleased with her services. From the moment we made arrangements, Aneta was incredibly warm and caring. Throughout my time away, she kept me informed and checked in regularly, providing updates and pictures of my cat. This communication truly eased my worries and made me feel much more comfortable about being away from home. It was clear that Aneta has a genuine love for animals and treated my cat with kindness and attention. I felt so lucky to have her as a pet sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re considering hiring a pet sitter, I highly recommend Aneta, you won’t be disappointed!

Abby was an excellent caretaker for our two cats! She did an awesome job of communicating with us, sending regular updates, and truly taking the time to keep the kitties company. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

About: Over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats and small animals in clients' homes. I am a Wicomico county public school teacher this proving a clean background as well as a patient and caring demeanor. I cared for my own diabetic cat for 2 years so insulin administration would be no problem. Due to some unforseen life changes I have a new situation and temporary schedule. For December I have full availability for walks and drop-ins M-F. I have most weekends free but need bring my 2 children with me. They are 8 and 10 years old and adore dogs. ♥️ I am happy to do a meet and greet prior to a booking if you have a child friendly fur baby and interest in working with me. We also have a fenced in back yard you could drop off to. 🐾🐶🐕🐕‍🦺😁 I will care for the animals as you direct me to. I am happy to take dogs in my vehicle for outings to dog parks or other events. I have a fenced in yard at my own home but have 2 guinea pigs and a cat so visits to my home would be dependent on tolerance to other pets and my 2 children who reside with me full time.

Exceptional Care for Two Special-Needs Cats Jennifer provided outstanding care for our two cats during a three-day trip, and we couldn’t be more grateful. One of our cats is diabetic and requires glucose monitoring along with insulin injections twice daily. Our other cat has chronic kidney disease, so careful observation of food and water intake, litter box habits, and overall behavior is extremely important. Jennifer handled every aspect of their care with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine compassion. She kept us informed with regular updates, closely monitored both cats, and quickly noticed even subtle changes in their routines and behaviors. It was clear that she treated our pets as if they were her own. Knowing that our diabetic cat was receiving accurate glucose readings and insulin injections on schedule gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Caring for senior cats with medical needs requires experience, reliability, and dedication, and Jennifer exceeded our expectations in every way. We returned home to two happy, healthy, and well-cared-for cats. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate pet sitter, especially for pets with medical conditions. We will absolutely be booking with her again. — Valerie & Family 🐾

About: I know from experience what a challenge it is to find loving care for a family pet while you are away. I’m happy to provide that peace of mind for you. I’m currently retired and looking forward to filling my days with new animal friends, while getting a little exercise and helping my neighbors with their pet care needs. I currently have a beautiful black cat who likes to be queen of the castle so I’m happy to care for your pets in your home.

It was a last minute request to Jacob because m y usual sitter had last minute plans. I was a little nervous that my dog would be shy, but was not prepared for him to not want to walk or interact at all. Jacob did get him out real quick to go to the bathroom, but he wanted to go right back in. The later visit in the day did not go any better. Jacob did the best he could, but could get Theo to warm up to him.

About: Hi, I’m Lindsey! I absolutely love long dog walks and spending time with furry friends. I have 4 years of previous professional experience where I was responsible to care for animals that were boarding at a veterinary clinic. I’m comfortable with pups of all ages and sizes, and I can give medication if needed. Whether you’re on vacation or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make pet care easy. I primarily work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm able to arrange my schedule so that I can care for your pets when they need me most! I know being away from your pet can be stressful for the both of you. Detailed feeding/walking instructions are greatly appreciated so I can stick to your pet's routine as much as possible.

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of animals my whole life. While I love all types of pets, dogs are my favorite. I have lots of experience. One of my dogs was a therapy dog within the public school system as part of a literacy program for elementary children. I have a nice fenced in backyard and live close to two pet friendly parks. My schedule is very flexible. There is always someone at home 24/7 so your furry friend will never be lonely. I can board, sit, or walk almost anytime. I have a nice fenced in backyard and live very close to two pet friendly parks. I have a very friendly corgi named Rocco to keep your fur babies company.

About: Ive been taking care of little to small pups ever since a little girl. Our family has had breeds anywhere from chihuahuas to lab to boxer. Im looking forward to meeting new pups, as well as giving them the exercise and cuddles they need or desire. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out anytime! I love puppies, so anytime is puppy time. But, I'm currently available only early mornings, mid day and evenings. I do have a child at home so that will have to be taken into consideration. I work a 8-4 schedule, but I am free to leave if I absolutely need to. I can definitely do grooming. Your pet will be fed based on owners normal schedule. Dogs can be let out ever 2-6 hours depending on availability. Any rule you apply for your pet to adhere to, I will delegate that.

About: I’m reliable and loving. I’d love to be connected with your fur babies. Any age is fine with me. I have a puppy and a senior. Think about this summer when you are out having fun and have to rush home to feed or walk your pet. I don't overnight in my home or yours because I have four animals of my own. Sorry. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. Most any time of day . Night time in a well lit area is preferred for me I don't overnight here or at you home as I have to be here for my own pets. But I can spend the day .

Turn Of River, Selbyville, DE, 19975

About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.

Lilly thank you so very much for taking such great care of Captain Hook sending me pictures and thorough knowledge of his schedules. The pictures did help me to feel more at least about him being at home and your visit. I will definitely keep in touch with you for the future hope you had a wonderful Christmas too. Thank you again Barbie.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Selbyville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 482 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

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.
