“Meredith was excellent! She took the time to listen to details about my dog so that her stay went well. She has a dog friendly home and yard plus she loves the dogs!

When I came for pickup my dog was relaxed and it was apparent they had bonded. Meredith exceeded my expectations in all regards.”

I could relax and enjoy what I was doing because I knew he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her services and will definitely re-book with her.”
“Beth is an excellent dog host! Indiana was treated like a movie star and even went with Ottis to the dog park as an outing. I was updated several times a day with photos and a video.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Carpenter
“Weiyu is a great sitter. Excellent communication and updates. She took great care of my puppy and he had a great time with her adorable mini doxie. Would definitely bring my dog back for another visit !”
“Dante was Great. This was Bubba's first time being babysat by someone that him and I didn't know. Dante kept me updated on Bubba's progress throughout the day which gave me relief because I was just as nervous as Bub. He's very pleasant, excellent in communication, and l can tell that he genuinely love dogs.”
About: I’ve had rescue dogs since I was a child. I get a lot of joy out of fostering dogs and helping them find their furever home. I also grew up with cats and love a sassy attitude. Looking to soak up some good pet energy this summer! I’m not working this summer, so I’m home all day and ready to entertain your pet. I love taking walks so your dog will get at least two walks per day. I spend a lot of time in the pool, so your pet can enjoy the yard as much as they want. Enrichment toys, watching birds and squirrels, naps in the sun, the occasional pup cup, games of fetch, and zoomies galore. I have a big, fenced in yard. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s what they prefer. Willing to accommodate. Will reward with Puperoni!
“Julianna is so sweet! She lives my Paulie and I adore seeing Cooper and Betty Boop and meeting the other pups Juliana is caring for! The comfort of having Juliana care my pup the way she cares for her own is awesome!!”
“Bronwen has been our go to sitter and we feel so comfortable having Griffin stay with her, she become like a second mom to him. She has gone above and beyond so many times and we are very lucky to have found her. Griffin can barely contain his excitement and basically tries to jump out of the car window every time we pull up to her house!”
“When I say Ms. Rita is an ALL STAR sitter, I’m talking about a true professional. I don’t even LIVE in Delaware, but I attended my brother’s wedding there, and she literally SAVED MY LIFE at the last moment, and babysat my pup BLUE at the last minute! I reached out to her at 7:30 in the morning, for an afternoon drop off, and not only did she reply almost immediately to confirm some details, she accepted the booking! Ms. Rita is just as DELIGHTFUL, WARM, KIND, PROFESSIONAL, CARING, and OVERALL AMAZING as she may appear on this profile. I have never left my dog anywhere except for his groomer, and I was PLEASANTLY shocked at how well my dog took to her and her FABULOUS dog, and the other dog that she was watching. Not only did she send me photo updates, she was so highly communicative the entire time before during and even after…. I mean…. I made my brother’s wedding, and didn’t have to worry about my dog and his accommodations (dogs weren’t showered unfortunately) because I was so grateful for and confident in the care being provided by Ms. Rita. Folks… don’t overwhelm her with bookings… but definitely look no further !!!! She is phenomenal, and I wish I lived in Delaware now just so that I can bring my fur baby here more often! I can only hope to find someone like her in NY. Thank you again!!!!! She is simply the best! I feel like she treated my dog like her very own ??? Great sitter.”
“Cindy was an amazing sitter! My dog had a sore paw when I dropped her off, and she took such great care of her. It was clear my dog was comfortable and well looked after. When I picked her up, she was happy and relaxed. I’m really grateful for Cindy's care and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services!”
“Nicolette did a great job watching Penny for the day! She was friendly and promptly responded to our messages and questions. Her dog Prince also got along well with our dog. We would book her again!”
About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

I ensure your pet is closely monitored and on leash when outdoors. I will actively communicate with any concerns regarding your animal and welcome any details you’d like to share to let me know your pet better!

“Cassandra was incredible. We used her 2x a day for a week, and she was extremely reliable, always early, and always left pics & reports! She was awesome and we will certainly look to her first if we ever use Rover again. Can’t recommend Cassandra enough!”
“Cara is the BEST! My buddy Apollo is always happy to see her because he knows he’s going for his walk that he loves. Cara is always pleasant, great with Apollo and has concern for his welfare whether it’s too hot, if he can have a treat, or if he pooped haha! Cara rules!”

“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.”
“Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine. My mom's dog absolutely loves her and whines at the door when he realizes that she's arrived. Margo is also great with my elderly mom. Hire her! You won't regret it.”

“This is about the 4th time that Kate has taken care of my precious mini Schnauzer. This was a 10 day visit. My Schnauzer is so warm and loving but she can be shy. She is very cooperative and loves Kate. She had not seen Kate for over 5 months and when we drove up, she gave a howl of recognition and delight. Needless to say, my dog pulled me into the house. We had a vacation and so did my dog. Kate is genuinely kind and caring. She sends me photos daily and does not hesitate to ask a question. However, Kate knows my dog so well (and dogs in general) and always has her best interest at heart. I know that my dog had a wonderful time with Kate. If you need a dog sitter in the Media area or for that matter, I suggest driving to have Kate take care of your precious dog. I knew Kate before I knew she was on Rover. When, she told me, I jumped at the chance for my dog to stay with her. I cannot stress enough how professional, caring, communicative and loving Kate is with my dog. I had a great vacation and so did my Schnauzer! You do not need to search, Kate is the best!!”
