“Andre was great! My pup Sulley had a BLAST staying with him during Thanksgiving. When we went to pick him up he was excited to greet us and wanted us to come back inside with him instead of going for a car ride! Would definitely bring Sulley back to more fun with Andre.”

“Heather was wonderful with Sauce for his overnight stay! She was very communicative from the start and made time for a meet and greet beforehand. Her home was lovely and very pet friendly, and she asked lots of questions to make sure Sauce would be comfortable, well cared for, and a good fit in her home overnight. While we were away, she sent pictures and kept me updated on how Sauce was doing and what he was up to, which gave me great peace of mind. Heather was super pleasant, easy-going, and clearly thoughtful about the dogs she cares for. Sauce seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would absolutely use Heather again.”

“We were very hesitant using a dog sitter. Our dog is a bit jumpy and we feared that she may be too much for her to handle not to mention we have never left her with anyone. Kelly was wonderful with her and sent daily updates including pics. It put our minds at ease and we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We will use her again.”

“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”

“Our experience with Brian has been wonderful from the start. He was very responsive, and took the time to really understand Scotty’s schedule and needs. Scotty had a wonderful time with his family, they provided a very warm & caring home for our baby while we were away. Scotty also had a great time bonding with Brian’s dogs Bruno and Lily, and they are now friends for life! Brain will definitely be our first choice going forward.”

About: I've taken care of pups since I was a teenager and am continuing my love of them as my nursing career winds down and my husband is semi-retired. We treat them with dignity and respect just like they were our own. We are flexible as the work from home option allows the ability for us to spend quality time with your pet. We are available for boarding any day of the week including weekends and holidays. We have a nice sized yard and are close to multiple parks to take your pet on walks. Dogs are free to roam as if they were in their own home but can crate if desired.

Adrienne’s home was so inviting and her 2 dogs were so sweet. Sheldon is a picky eater and she sat on the floor with him to help get him to eat. He had a great stay. :)”

“Yvonne and Joe had my young 80 pound bernedoodle as a guest in their home for a bit over a week. The accommodations were awesome which included a fully fenced back yard, providing ample "free" space to roam. Murdoch had ample opportunity to mingle with other dogs in the home. Yvonne and Joe come with many years of dog-sitting experience and knowledge. At no time was Murdoch left un-attended by an adult. He was safe and well taken care of. This was the first time Murdoch was a guest in someone else's home and he definitely pushed his teen/toddler boundaries! I appreciate Yvonne and Joe's patience and hope that Murdoch will be invited back...eventually! :) Thank you again! Heather”

Samantha took great care of my dog Ivy while I was out of the country. She provided photos and messages to let me know how she was doing. Most importantly she made my dog feel safe and secure by providing her with lots of attention while I was away. I had never left my dog at another house before so I was not sure if she would be comfortable, but she did great. Thanks so much Samantha!

Monique was available when I needed someone immediately. My regular sitter was away and I had a family emergency. Monique was wonderful. As Mina became acclimated to her, Skye, and their dog, she had a really good time over the Halloween holiday. Monique sent me pics of Mina in her Halloween costume that were really cute! Mina was well taken care of and I am hoping that Monique will be available again in the future. Thanks, Monique and Skye!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Simonds Gardens 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 Simonds Gardens.

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.

You and your Simonds Gardens 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.
