“We left Meadow - our 6 month old rescue - with Brooke for two weeks. Brooke was reliable, clearly skilled with all sorts of dogs, and was a great friend to meadow during our summer vacation. The supervised exposure to other dogs under Brooke’s care was really great for Meadow’s social skills too! Endorse without reservation and will use Brooke again for sure next time we are in area.”

“Cassandra took great care of our dog over the Christmas holiday! Hazel doesn’t always eat much while she is staying at someone’s house (regardless of who it is), so Cassandra kept us updated when she was or wasn’t eating - and eventually Hazel did settle in to better eating habits! Her concern and attention was really appreciated. Hazel also gets an allergy pill twice a day which Cassandra kept up with too. Thank you for caring for our dog!”

“Absolutely fantastic experience with the Birol. My beloved pup, was in great hands for two days thanks to Birol. Communication was excellent, receiving updates and photos regularly, which reassured us he was happy and well cared for. Burial clearly loves dogs and it shows in how Shearer responded to him. I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver. Highly recommend Birol for anyone needing reliable and loving care for their furry family members!”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about our Rover sitter, Lee. She truly came through for us at a time when a previous sitter had nearly ruined our trip. From the moment she stepped in, she was so sweet, attentive, and caring toward our dog, it was such a relief. She sent us multiple updates throughout our trip, along with videos and photos of our happy pup, which meant the world to us. After the nightmare we'd been through with the earlier sitter, I was genuinely scared for our dog and worried I might have to cut the trip short and come home. My daughter had only received one picture from that previous sitter, and our dog looked scared and timid in it. That was NOT what we saw from Lee — with her, our dog was comfortable, relaxed, and his usual energetic, playful self. We are so deeply grateful to Lee, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone who wants true peace of mind while they're away from their furry family.”

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, ranging from large German shepherds to 5lb chihuahuas. I genuinely care for the well being of all animals! I have plenty of patience and a huge heart for animals. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m home most of the day, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow their normal routines, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. I’m careful with doors, feeding, medications, and anything else specific to their care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, but my love for them started long before that. I grew up with dogs and have always been around them, learning how to care for and understand their different personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work currently work part-time now and attend college part-time, giving me flexibility for pet care. I’m available weekdays and every other weekend, except Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I have a fully fenced yard and a sweet one-year-old purebred Cocker Spaniel who is calm, friendly, and loves safely playing with other dogs too. If you are not comfortable with your dog being around another dog, I am more than happy to do services in your own home!

Mike was so great with Olive and very kind, understanding and communicative! He took great care of her even while she was struggling with some ongoing stomach issues and kept us so well informed throughout the day. We will definitely be using his services again in the future :)

We LOVE Shereen! She took such good care of our little Cooper. Her dogs are so loving and friendly, and welcomed ours into their home with no issues of any kind. Shereen obviously loves dogs and treats all of them like kings and queens...which is exactly what we wanted. She's really amazing.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 .

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.

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, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
