I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”
“Sylvia was an incredible sitter! The moment my husband and I met her we knew she’d be great. She has such a lovely personality and you can tell how much she cares about animals. She made sure to keep us updated on how Trigger was doing and sending pictures, he looked so happy in all of them. When we picked him up, he was just happiest old pup. I most definitely recommend Sylvia to anyone that needs a sitter!”
“Mary Sue cared for my dog for a week and it was a great experience all around! She was prompt to answer messages and sent updates and/or photos every day of their activities. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone who was not an immediate family member. Mary Sue video chatted with me before confirming the booking and she eased all of my worries. My dog came home exhausted from all of the fun they had - it was a great fit and I would highly recommend Mary Sue!”
“Wonderful stay with Brenda and her family! She takes care of our Pup Finnegan and she loves her like her own!! Its a great relief to know your dog is having a vacation same time you are! Definitely would use her again and again!”
“Megan W and her family were fantastic! Not only was she a delight to communicate with, my dog clearly loved her and her home, The pictures she sent of my furbaby showed him undeniably smiling ear to ear. She is a little bit off the beaten path which is exactly why I chose her as we were on our way to Rehoboth. It was an easy and short detour to drop our little buddy off on our way. Her place has plenty of shade, fencing, and other pups for my dog to enjoy. I will definitely be rebooking with Megan W in the future!”
“Kelly was wonderful and sent pictures throughout the day. We so appreciate her diligence in helping us with our dogs. One of our dogs requires daily medicine and an ointment. Kelly didn’t seem to have an issue with it and took wonderful care.”
“We moved to the area recently and searched for a new pet sitter. My husband and I could not be anymore happier with the care Karen and Sean provided to our Molly! Our Molly felt right at home on her first stay. Karen and Sean took Molly on walks and gave her plenty of playtime. Definitely will be using Karen again in the future ❤️”

“Brooklyn was wonderful to my two dogs. I was in town for business and traveling with my dogs. She took great care of them, played with them all day and made them feel comfortable stopping for the weekend in Delaware. I was traveling from GA to CT and this allowed me to relax would use her again when I return to town.”
“We were very happy with Bob and Susan's care of our two Golden Retrievers while we were away on vacation for a week. We had recently relocated to the area full time and were in search of an in-home dog sitting arrangement similar to the service we had used for the last 9 years in Newark, DE. I searched many Rover profiles and Bob and Susan's profile and reviews made the drive from Bethany to Lewes worth checking out. We arranged the meet and greet and felt very comfortable then leaving our beloved dogs with them for the week. As noted in other reviews, recieving regular updates and pictures really helped us enjoy our vacation. I feel fortunate to have found Bob and Susan and will certainly be booking with them again.”
“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”
“Libby was great with Chloe! We got pictures and updates regularly and Chloe even and a hat and scarf in some pictures! Huge fenced in yard to run around in! Lots of love and attention! Definitely will use Libby again!”
About: I have had dogs since I was a baby. I have cared for dogs of every stage of life, and I’m super passionate about senior dogs and small animals. Both my dogs are friendly with ferrets and other small animals, always supervised of course. I have experience in dogs, cats, ferrets, and all rodents. No experience with reptiles but I have read a lot about the husbandry of geckos and bearded dragons. Always willing to learn to have your pet be most comfortable in our home. I currently am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of extra time for animals. We (my boyfriend and I) already dedicate a huge portion of our time to our dogs so we would love to add more to the mix lol. My daughter (5yo) also loves animals and is learning the ropes of helping take care of them. We have a very big yard, and while it’s not fenced in there is still plenty of space to run on a lead! I can also help with potty training, pad training and lead training as well as socializing with our two very friendly goofy dogs.
“Lori was so wonderful and caring with my dog Precious. I knew that she was in great hands while I was away. Lori treated Precious like family and made her feel right at home. I would highly recommend Lori to care for your dog!”

Our senior kitty is very shy and often won't come out or even eat for people she's not familiar with, but she did for Sabrina! We were also provided with numerous photos, updates, and a very detailed write up of the visit. We will certainly be reaching out when we need services in the future!”

“I initially thought Trales might not want to come back home with me, especially since Morgan, along with her husband and their two precious fur babies, spoiled him so much. Morgan was incredibly thoughtful and made me feel completely at ease while she was caring for Trales during the times I couldn’t. Her regular updates, photos, and notes about his outdoor potty activities kept me well informed and helped me stay on track with his routine once I picked him up. As a new resident in Delaware, I truly feel lucky to have found Morgan as Trales’s care provider.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and I’ve gained hands‑on experience with cats and dogs.

I also offer flexible pet‑sitting options, whether you need care for a few full days and nights or extended stays ranging from one week up to one month. I follow any schedule already in place at a client’s home—including feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, and medication administration—to help eliminate unnecessary stress for your pets. I’m also able to provide longer walks (30+ minutes), engaging play sessions such as fetch, tug, snuffle‑mat activities, and treat‑puzzle enrichment, along with plenty of cuddle time for pets who enjoy affection.

“Jessica was great. She responded very quickly on very short notice. Felt very good dropping Leif off and Leif looked great picking him up. I would use this boarder again in the future.”
“Wonderful stay with Brenda and her family! She takes care of our Pup Finnegan and she loves her like her own!! Its a great relief to know your dog is having a vacation same time you are! Definitely would use her again and again!”
“Megan W and her family were fantastic! Not only was she a delight to communicate with, my dog clearly loved her and her home, The pictures she sent of my furbaby showed him undeniably smiling ear to ear. She is a little bit off the beaten path which is exactly why I chose her as we were on our way to Rehoboth. It was an easy and short detour to drop our little buddy off on our way. Her place has plenty of shade, fencing, and other pups for my dog to enjoy. I will definitely be rebooking with Megan W in the future!”
“Kelly was wonderful and sent pictures throughout the day. We so appreciate her diligence in helping us with our dogs. One of our dogs requires daily medicine and an ointment. Kelly didn’t seem to have an issue with it and took wonderful care.”

“We were very happy with Bob and Susan's care of our two Golden Retrievers while we were away on vacation for a week. We had recently relocated to the area full time and were in search of an in-home dog sitting arrangement similar to the service we had used for the last 9 years in Newark, DE. I searched many Rover profiles and Bob and Susan's profile and reviews made the drive from Bethany to Lewes worth checking out. We arranged the meet and greet and felt very comfortable then leaving our beloved dogs with them for the week. As noted in other reviews, recieving regular updates and pictures really helped us enjoy our vacation. I feel fortunate to have found Bob and Susan and will certainly be booking with them again.”
“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”
“Libby was great with Chloe! We got pictures and updates regularly and Chloe even and a hat and scarf in some pictures! Huge fenced in yard to run around in! Lots of love and attention! Definitely will use Libby again!”
About: I have had dogs since I was a baby. I have cared for dogs of every stage of life, and I’m super passionate about senior dogs and small animals. Both my dogs are friendly with ferrets and other small animals, always supervised of course. I have experience in dogs, cats, ferrets, and all rodents. No experience with reptiles but I have read a lot about the husbandry of geckos and bearded dragons. Always willing to learn to have your pet be most comfortable in our home. I currently am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of extra time for animals. We (my boyfriend and I) already dedicate a huge portion of our time to our dogs so we would love to add more to the mix lol. My daughter (5yo) also loves animals and is learning the ropes of helping take care of them. We have a very big yard, and while it’s not fenced in there is still plenty of space to run on a lead! I can also help with potty training, pad training and lead training as well as socializing with our two very friendly goofy dogs.
“Lori was so wonderful and caring with my dog Precious. I knew that she was in great hands while I was away. Lori treated Precious like family and made her feel right at home. I would highly recommend Lori to care for your dog!”
“Maple made herself right at home and was well cared for. Jacqueline was very accommodating and was able to take her on short notice which was so appreciated.”
“This was our first trip away without Rocky. Daniela sent me pictures throughout the night and kept me updated on how he was doing. Rocky had a blast with her dogs! Definitely would recommend Daniela, they make your dog feel like one of their own. Thank you again!”
“Cory was friendly and knew a lot about puppies. We were very comfortable leaving our six month old Finnegan with him. He has a big yard and a fenced in deck. I would bring Finnegan the next time I’m in the area.”
