Throughout Simba’s stay, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear he received top notch care and fit right in with her family. I HIGHLY recommend her. Your pet will be treated with genuine love and outstanding care.”

“We were very nervous to leave Calvin for a family vacation, but Kaycie and her husband took such great care of him and sent us pictures throughout the week of his exploits. I really appreciated the attention that Calvin got since they were not a bunch of other dogs staying there at the same time. We definitely book with Kaycie again!”

“I can't say enough good things about Ashley! She was absolutely fantastic with Kodak. From the moment I met her, I could tell she was genuine and caring, and that definitely showed in the way she took care of him. Kodak was clearly happy and well-cared for, and I received updates with pictures, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”

I have highly recommended Sharon to my friends and neighbours. I am waiting to plan our next trip since this break helps not only us but also Niko to meet and play with new friends at Sharon”s place.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and I’ve raised my Labrador from a tiny puppy to the sweet senior she is today. Caring for her through every stage—training, high energy years, and now her slower senior days has given me hands on experience with all kinds of needs and personalities. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once and have handled overnight stays with up to six dogs for several days at a time. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, or just keeping everyone calm and happy, I’m comfortable managing a busy, furry household. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I would love to be able to help people out in my free time, whether that be just letting a dog out or taking them for a walk. I am completely available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until four. Even outside of these three days I have a lot of flexibility! I care for other people’s animals as if they are my own. I am a huge dog lover and always have enjoyed caring for them and spending time with them. I am more than happy to accommodate to any animals needs and would go out of my way to follow people’s requests for their fur babies!

About: I don't just watch dogs—I welcome them into my family. Every pup receives personalized attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I work for the school system, so I have weekends, holidays, and summers off. My typical work hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and my school is very close to home, which allows me to come home during my lunch breaks. I make it a priority not to leave the pups home alone for more than four hours at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. In addition, I keep 2 small dogs at a time but for the bigger ones I only will sit 1 dog for safety reasons 😊. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family. I have a fully fenced yard, two friendly Shih-Poos who love making new friends, and a calm, loving environment. I'll follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions, so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away.

“Aaron and his family were amazing. They welcomed our 3 year old English Bulldog Rowan into their home and he was comfortable from the start. They took him for walks often, sent pictures of him daily, and put our minds at ease while we attended an out of town funeral. We will absolutely be booking with them in the future for our boarding needs.”

“Amy and Cathy took our two dogs in for two weeks while we were in Japan. It's clear that they're both avid dog lovers, so I had no worries while away because I knew the pups were in great hands! They texted a few updates and pictures as well. We could tell our dogs were having a good time with good people. I would absolutely recommend Amy and Cathy!”

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!

About: I work in a veterinary hospital as a kennel technician, where I care for animals daily by feeding, cleaning, exercising, monitoring behavior, and ensuring their comfort and safety under professional supervision. I’m currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 12. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, bring your own if you have a big dog if not the case I have small ones.

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.

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.
