“When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”
“My rescue dog can sometimes be hesitant to trust men but Mark knew just what to do to put her at ease. Mark was punctual and very pleasant and helpful. I will not hesitate to ask Mark to walk Leia again.”

About: Hi! My name is Joelle and I live and work in Wilmington, DE. My partner and I currently have four cats and a beagle/corgi mix! I’ve been pet-sitting dogs and cats for family, friends, neighbors and Rover clients for over 14 years and can’t imagine doing anything else with my free time! I am able to care for and have previous experience with up to 6 animals at a time. I'm currently offering drop-in care and dog walking services, with very limited availability for house sitting. References are available for anyone that is interested and I’d be happy to discuss making adjustments to the services/schedules I have listed if they don't match you or your pet’s specific needs. I work full-time and have a pretty flexible hybrid schedule. Most of my weeks are 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home and these days can be moved around as needed - especially to accommodate house sitting requests! While my work from home days change from week to week, I usually try to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. For Mondays-Wednesdays when I am in the office I typically have the following availability (with some flexibility): Before 8:00am 12:00-1:00pm After 4:00pm If you feel like I would be a good fit for you and your pets but aren't sure if the schedules would line up well, please reach out! I am happy to switch my in-the-office days with work-from-home days if needed :) My goal while your pet is in my care is to create a relaxing and stress-free environment for them. I prefer to care for animals in their own home so that they are in an environment they are familiar with while also being surrounded by their favorite toys/things. I’m also big on routine and positive reinforcement! In my opinion, following the same routine as normal helps reduce stress on your pet while you’re away and I’m more than happy to recreate those routines for them.
About: My sisters both have pets that I take care of regularly. Whether big or small, I will play, walk and spend lots of time with them so they don’t feel lonely <3 I’ll be moving out of state at the beginning of August, so just looking to make some extra cash to help with the pricey moving process. I’ll be in Columbia the majority of the summer so my hours are very flexible! I will follow any and all instructions you give me, and I’ll send you lots of pictures and videos while you’re gone if that’s your thing!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years and trained our beautiful lab from six months old by attending regular sessions which I really enjoyed. I am used to administering medications if needed and would love to look after your fur baby! I’m a stay at home Mom of two so while the children are at school mon- fri I am available & also available on weekends! I look forward to feeding, playing and giving your fur baby lots of fuss as well as walks. I am happy to help with crate training too if needed.
About: I've gained hands-on experience through helping care for my friend’s and relative’s pets over the years. This has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to different animals' needs. Whether it was walking dogs, feeding on a routine, or keeping pets calm, I learned how important it is to provide reliable, loving care. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family—because I’ve seen firsthand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care. As a substitute teacher, my summer schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to taking care of your pet. Without a fixed classroom schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or check-ins. I enjoy having that extra time in the summer to give pets the attention and consistency they need while their owners are away. I always strive to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Before each stay, I ask for detailed instructions and preferences so I can follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I ensure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, playtime, or walks based on their individual needs. Communication is a top priority for me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured throughout my time with your pet.
About: With over 15 years of experience caring for a diverse range of pet breeds and ages, I offer personalized, trustworthy pet sitting that prioritizes your furry family members' unique needs. I understand how much pets mean to their owners, and I’m dedicated to providing the highest level of care and companionship while you’re away. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and right at home! I am fortunate to be able to work from home Monday-Friday, which allows me flexibility throughout the day to serve families in my area for short visits or walks. Weekends are wide open for longer visits or even overnight stays! I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment in all my pet sitting services. Your pets deserve a secure and loving space, and I ensure they receive the highest level of care and attention while you’re away. My back yard is fully fenced as well. You can rest easy knowing that your furry friends are in safe hands.
About: Through out my life I have owned two senior dogs who required extra love and attention. I have trained and worked with puppies as well. I am currently available weekdays at anytime throughout the day. I can do morning or evenings. I can not wait to play with your dogs! I have experience watching fur babies in clients homes. I can help in anyway that you need whether it’s medicine, walks, playtime, or nap time.
About: Hi, I’m Gina! I’ve been caring for animals most of my life — from cats and dogs to bunnies, birds, and even the occasional reptile. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I meet them where they are with patience, love, and attention to detail. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in creating a safe, stress-free experience while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medications, or just keeping them company, your pet will be in kind, capable hands. I work remotely most of the time, so I’m available throughout the day on both weekdays and weekends. Your pet will have plenty of company, and even when I do step out, it's never for more than a few hours at a time. I’m also available for early morning and evening care to fit your pets routine. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care. I follow detailed instructions closely to keep routines consistent—whether that’s meal schedules, medications, playtime, or crate training. I make sure pets feel secure and supported while you’re away, and I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you have peace of mind.
“Jamie was amazing! I really appreciate the love and care he showed my little guy. I would definitely book him again 100 times over. I also appreciate him taking in my package that I had completely forgotten about. I also want to say thank you for alerting me to some concerns he had with Charli itching and not using the bathroom as normal. Once again, I appreciate the time and care that you took with Charli and the fact that you treated him like your own. I look forward to working with you again”
“Julia was definitely one of the best dog walkers that I’ve used on Rover. She came for 4 walks over the course of 2 days- stayed longer than required, showed up on time (actually early each time), sent pics and a summary of the walk each time. And she is absolutely calm and kind! 100% recommend and will use her again if our calendars align!!”

We would highly recommend her for you fur babies.”
