Highly-rated overnight sitters - Frederica
“Brooke was great to work with setting up and caring for our dog during a six-day trip my wife and I took to CA. She has dogs of her own at her own and took in our dog as a border at her residence. We had not tried boarding our dog at another residence before, and this seemed to work very well. We will likely use Brooke again next time to care for our dog.”
“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.”
“Mickey was a very gracious and thoughtful host for our year and a half old wire hair fox terrier. Mickey dealt with a small injury to Gracie‘s paw that occurred just before we dropped her off, keeping her front paw bandaged many times as Gracie decided she did not want to wear it. She also took Gracie for 2 1/2 mile walks, which is exactly what that breed needs. We absolutely recommend Mickey.”
“Jenny was fantastic with our two adult pups. They were very happy at her home and were obviously well cared for. She took them on short notice and will be our "go to" in the future.”
“Teresa was amazing! From our beginning communications pre-booking, throughout the stay, and pickup was nothing short of a stellar experience! Teresa is very accommodating to your/dogs personal needs. Teresa is very attentive during drop-off. Teresa sends you frequent pictures of your dogs during their stay which really goes a long way in helping you feel at ease while you are away. Teresa provides a very smooth pickup. Very gracious sitter, professional with tons of experience! Looking forward to my next worry-free booking with Teresa!”
“This was the first time that my Shaka has spent a week away from me since relocating here to Delaware approximately two years ago. I was naturally nervous and my anxiety was at an all time high. However, Myra calmed my nerves by reassuring me that he was fine and to enjoy my vacation and not to worry. Myra sent me several photos and updates throughout the day. I was so happy to see her giving my Baby so much attention and love. It truly calmed my nerves and I was able to enjoy a much needed vacation. My Shaka loves Myra and so do I. She is definitely my go to Sitter and I highly recommend her to care for and love on your Fur Baby.”
“She is an Angel has helped watching River while I Recovery from Surgery. She loves River like her own! River loves her back! River gets so excited pulling in her Driveway!!! The BEST”
“I utilized Mary Sue's services recently to board my 2-year-old miniature Goldendoodle in her home. I could not have asked for a better experience. Her communication throughout the long weekend was excellent, and I didn't have to worry about how my little buddy was doing. I will definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! 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!!!!”
“Zackie is an EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter! She accepted my last-minute booking and seamlessly accommodated my unpredictable travel plans. 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.”
“Bailey had a great time staying with Brenda. She was wonderful sending pictures to me. Has a very nice fenced yard--perfect for the dogs to play. I will definitely have Bailey stay there again!!”
“Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Jermaine was so accommodating for me as I book him for a last-minute work trip. Text me pictures and update as I was on my busy trip thinking of my baby girl. Definitely will utilize his services again.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and got my first dog at 10 years old. Caring for him taught me responsibility, patience, and the deep bond we share with our pets. I have over 8 years of experience caring for senior dogs and 5+ years providing dog sitting services for private clients. Many families trust me repeatedly with their pets because I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs — from playful pups who love walks and attention to more relaxed dogs who just want companionship and cuddles. Small and medium dogs have mostly been under my care and only some larger breeds. My goal is always to keep your dog happy, safe, and stress-free while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand how important consistency is, especially for senior dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I know peace of mind matters when you’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help. Creating a calm, loving environment is very important to me, and I want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home on my own time so I am available pretty much daily unless I have other clients in my schedule. Requests in advance are very much appreciated. Services in your home will be as the you request, I aim to please you and your pet! I live in a tiny home that shares the fenced in backyard with my in laws who have an older toy poodle, a Chorkie and a calico cat who I will keep separate from your pet if you’re looking for daycare and overnight stays. My home is small so overnight and day cares are limited for very large dogs.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter ! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.

About: I have cared for cats for most of my life but 5 years ago my fiancé and I adopted my first dog. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my dog, Mary Jane, who has been my sweetest teacher in understanding dog behavior, routines, and communication. Through caring for her, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walking, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, consistent environment for a happy pup. I have also cared for many friends pets while they were away on vacation. I may be new to Rover, but I’m not new to being a responsible, attentive animal owner. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.
About: With years of pet care experience, I provide safe, reliable and loving attention so that your pet feels comfortable and loved in a calm environment. I am flexible and available on weekends for boarding your pets. I can do drop ins, walks, and boarding. Anytime is fine for your pets. I am very reliable and committed to treating your pets like family whether in my home or your home by creating a calm comfortable space.

About: With many years of hands on pet care experience, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, bathing, walking, and providing the kind of calm, attentive care that puts both pets and their owners at ease.

With a flexible schedule, I'm available to give your pet consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of love throughout the day. I'm reliable, punctual, and will keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know your fur baby is happy and thriving. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, attentive environment and take time to understand each animal's unique needs and personality before care begins. I'm experienced with crating, feeding routines, leash handling, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. Pet owners can trust their babies are in experienced, caring hands.

About: I have loved animals all my life, especially dogs, and I finally got a dog of my own two years ago. For years before that, I took care of dogs for friends and through Rover to get my dog fix! I am in my fourth year of med school and spend most of my time at home studying, and take lots of breaks to take my dog on walks and to nearby parks. I have a large fenced backyard where dogs can run! My dogs are very friendly with other dogs, and would love to have your dog as a playmate while you are away! I am in class 2-4 days out of the week, and each of those days am only there for 2-4 hours, so your dog will get lots of attention! I live with my fiancé who is also a dog lover, and one of us will be always be home or have the dogs with us if we are out. I live in an apartment, but am very active and I will take your dog on daily walks and to nearby parks. My apartment is spacious and has plenty of room for small and medium sized dogs to play!
“Chrissy was wonderful! She was so responsive and easy to work with. She put my dog immediately at ease and I knew he was in good hands while I was away! Will definitely be seeking out Chrissy’s help in the future - highly recommend!”

About: Hello! My name is Teresa! I work full-time on the weekdays but I have weekends free for dog sitting. I have been a dog sitter for a few of my neighbors in the past for fun. Your dog(s) will have a nice house to run around in, we'll take long walks around the neighborhood, going to the Bowers beach, playing in the sand. Since its only me in the house, they will have my undivided attention and love. In the summer, they will be cool, and in the winter, they will be warm by the fireplace. I truly enjoy the company of pets and I look forward to providing you peace of mind and the utmost in care for you and your four legged family members!
About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs, I walk them, feed them and bath them if needed. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior care and providing medicine. I currently work full time with a variety on my schedule and very flexible, I love spending time with companions. Im passionate about giving the animals undivided attention. In my home I have a chain and an electric fence so my dog is provided the whole yard. I also have a crate if needed. I prefer to do in clients home to reduce the stress on the animal.
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals (gerbils, tortoises, snakes and rats). I also have my own cat, Baba. I have experience with special needs animals, should your fur baby require any special care. My work schedule is stable and I know my schedule a month or two in advance. I am flexible with same day bookings and am willing to accommodate late visits. I will do my best to work with any situation. Just let me know if you have any special requests and it will get done!
“Kaitlyn was amazing with our golden retriever, Cooper! He’s 9 years old with some new health issues and meds that can be tricky to give, but she was so patient and gentle with him. We could tell she really cared, kept us updated, and made sure he was happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Kaitlyn!”
About: I have been fortunate to have had pets since I was a child: Cats, dogs, parrots, and reptiles. All of my pets have been rescues. Since my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was from a puppy mill, she had numerous health problems, resulting in paralysis later in life. But, she was able to adapt to a doggie quad cart and absolutely loved going for long walks in a stroller. While she required a great deal of hands-on care for many years, she lived a pain-free, long and happy life. My dog, Pepper, is a playful, energetic, loving black lab mix, who was taught that the little dogs are always the boss! She loves nothing more than to be around other dogs. My Beardie, Otis, loved baths, and he enjoyed spending time looking out the window, watching all of the activity, and being outside in the sunshine in the summertime. Devastatingly, he passed away, but I kept his vivarium and lamps with the hopes that I will be able to pet sit other beardies. I am experienced giving medications, and I have had training in working with dogs. Animals make my heart happy! I find that it is much less stressful on your baby if he/she can come and visit at least twice prior to being left here for the first time. Preferably, if one of those visits is one day of daycare. I pet sit when I can be available full time, so your pup will be taken care of by me personally at all times, not left alone, not left outside or in a kennel or in a basement, and not left in a child’s or teen’s care while I work. House sitting and boarding rates cover a 24 hour period of time, so you are not charged additional daytime pet sitting rates. I will shower your baby with attention and provide endless opportunities for play. Depending upon the weather and your pup’s normal activity level, we will walk for 1 to 3 miles twice per day plus go out for potty breaks every 2-3 hours, or we will take lots of short walks. I always use a leash when outdoors. It is very important for me to know if your dog has any triggers or becomes aggressive in certain situations, so that I can avoid those things. I will always have your baby's best interest at heart. This is not a kennel, nor is it a kennel-like set up. Rain or shine, or sleet or snow, I take the dogs for walks. Therefore, it is very important that your dog is leash trained and friendly. If your dog requires leash, potty, and/or behavioral training to stop marking, there will be an additional $10 per day charge for each day that it happens. I will do my best to get your dog leash trained well enough so that I am not yanked down the stairs and dragged down the street, but the training duration depends upon the dog. The same goes for pottying and marking. I will do my best, but please, for the sake of your dog, practice these things regularly throughout their lives.

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 able to accommodate a last-minute sitter request for our senior dog and we are so appreciative. Our little guy, Finn, didn’t make it easy for her either particularly during feeding times. Lori hung in there and worked with him patiently. There was a high level of communication throughout his stay and lots of updates and photos too. Thank you Lori!!”
“Highly recommend Alyssa! She watched my 2 babies this past weekend. She kept me in the loop via messages and pictures while we were away. She gave them so much attention and play time. Her dog is friendly and playful which was a perfect match for my energetic pup. They even got into some trouble rolling around in the dirt and got special baths. The initial meet and greet made me feel great about booking the boarding.”
“This was our first time leaving Pablo with anyone outside of our home. He was well taken care of and seemed to enjoy himself. Emily is great with him and very responsive. She gives great updates and sends lots of pictures, which is very much so appreciated! Already rebooked.”
“Deanna was very friendly and took very good care of our baby! She gave us updates and pictures of Bear regularly and let us know know his activities and what he was doing and how he was doing. I really appreciated how she kept us informed the whole time. I will definitely love to use her for all my traveling needs in the future.”
