“Leaving our dog, Mazie with Sandee gives us total peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and communicative, sending us multiple updates and photos daily. It is comforting to see how happy and relaxed Mazie is in her care. We always return to a happy, healthy dog and feel completely confident that everything is taken care of. We're very grateful that we have found her and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and experienced sitter.”

“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!”

“Sylvia was great with Tazzy. She was very thorough on our initial meet and great, and had her notes ready when we brought Tazzy for her weekend getaway. We felt very comfortable leaving her in good hands.”

“Paige was great. She was available on short notice and was accommodating to a weird drop-off time due to bad weather. She was attentive to my animals needs and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her. She sent tons of pictures and videos and gave comprehensive daily updates. I would absolutely recommend this sitter and will be using her again in the future.”

“Lori takes such great care of our labradoodle. She’s been a lifesaver for us when we need to go out of town and leave our furry friend at home. It’s comforting to know she’s in such good hands. Thanks Lori!!!”

“Kelly was great. This was Murphy’s first time staying with Kelly and he settled in very quickly. She sent lots of updates and photos which helped to know he was doing well in a new place. Kelly was very flexible and accommodating when we had to shift pick up and drop off times a bit. She offered to pick Murphy up and drop him off since we were so close. I definitely plan to use Kelly’s services again.”


“I found Kelly in a moment of desperation when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby. Not only was she quick to respond but also came to meet my recent rescue before hand. I had never used a River sitter before and after meeting her in person and learning about her vet tech background I was confident she would take great care of my girl. She sent me daily pictures and updates and took excellent care of Zoya for me while I was away. I will 100% be booking her again!”

“Christina and her family were great! We had to find a last minute sitter for our dog, Charlie, who we had never left with anyone but family before. We were nervous to leave her with someone we’d never met, but Christina eased all of our fears. We received multiple pictures every day of Char having a blast. She clearly had a great time when we picked and we would definitely have her stay with Christina again!”

“Hi highly recommend Jessica. She was able to get my Skitch kitty to come out from hiding and took the time with her during her visits to let her in the deck and for some pets. Thank you Jessica! 🙂”

“Thank you so much!!!!! Lori is so caring, making sure everything with my cat was perfect while I went away. She is invaluable, my cat does need to take medicine and Lori ensured she took her pill when needed. I would recommend to anyone that would need assistance with their pet.”

“Jacob did an outstanding job caring for our rabbit, Bunny, while we were away. He was incredibly communicative, responded quickly to every message, and always arrived on time, staying for the full visit. He had no trouble giving Bunny her medication, sent thoughtful updates and great photos after each visit, and made us feel completely at ease. We also came home to everything spotless and exactly as we had left it, which we really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book Jacob again and will absolutely be asking him to watch Bunny the next time we travel!”


“This is the third time I've had Leanne do drop-in visits for my kitty Bandit. I had to contact Leanne urgently as we needed to go out of town unexpectedly for my father's funeral. Leanne was very prompt with responding back to me and was able to do drop-in visits kind of last minute for several days. Leanne is super efficient and prompt and always gave me a detailed Rover card after each visit with a few photos. It was a load off my mind that Bandit was well cared for during this difficult time for me.”

“You are simply the best! Harley looks forward to drop in visits with you! Thank you for always going above and beyond and staying well past your time limit to give her some extra loving!”


“Kelly is nothing short of fantastic. Being a first time Rover user, and never even previously leaving a pet outside the care of a trusted immediate family member, I was a bit nervous. Kelly took extra time to provide an overview of what the process looks like, expectations, and plenty of reassurance. During my time away, Kelly lovingly cared for my shy little furball, sharing photos and text updates -- it was almost like I was there myself. She was respectful of my home and property, leaving everything in the same or better condition than how it was initially left. Kelly was so attentive and gentle that Luna (who hides from everyone!) actually showed interest in sharing play time. I look forward to working with Kelly much more in the coming years. I wholeheartedly recommend”

About: Much of my animal experience has involved caring for cats, as well as dogs. I have a cat of my own and he is the light of my life! I understand they often require a bit more effort to befriend and I'm happy to put in the work!
“Siara was a wonderful sitter for our cat. She gave timely updates and shared cute photos. We did our meet and greet virtually as a video chat and she understood all of the directions, even the medications.”


“Aaron demonstrated exceptional care and entertainment while providing assistance to Zuri. We deeply appreciate his dedication to ensuring the well-being of our family members, particularly his compassionate and attentive approach.”

“Christina did a great job with my two fur babies this 3-day weekend. Henley had twice daily meds that he needed administered and she made that happen without issue. They were fed and their litter scooped. I felt like I could enjoy my weekend away knowing my kitties were being cared for well.”

She was very responsive, provided awesome updates & it was clear to us when we picked Benni up, that he had a wonderful time in her care!! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy & responsive fellow pet lover to care for your fur baby!! She was great from start to finish & we will definitely utilize her in the future trips to the beach. Thanks so much Megan!”

“Michele was wonderful! She has a lot of experience with dogs, and older dogs as well, which was perfect for my 23.5 yr old terrier. I would definitely recommend her and hope she’ll be able to watch Nellie whenever we go back to Lewes.”

“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”

“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”

“Bob and Susan are a truly delightful couple who gave us a warm welcome along with their sweet & friendly Ridgeback, Abby. Their hospitality was sincerely gracious, kind and genuine. The three of them invited us in their home & made us feel like we were lifelong friends even though we just met them.

About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for three years, taking care of small dogs, large dogs, and even cats. I even take care of people's pets in my neighborhood. Currently fitting pet care into my daily routine is no problem at all. I am a part time college student but I don't go back until the winter. I stay at home full time so I will be able to spend all day with your pet. As far as pets go, I have a very friendly lab mix named Kaya and a cat named Snickers. I also have two leopard geckos named Mushu and Yoshi. Kaya is fed twice a day, morning and evening. And Snickers is a grazer so he eats whenever he wants. I have a fenced in yard which Kaya adores. Whenever other dogs come over I let them out into the yard so they can run around and play. The yard is about half an acre and the fence is 4 and a half feet tall.
“Teresa accepted my request almost last minute after mine was not doing well at the doggie daycare. She is very experienced, reliable and provided a lot of love and care for Miller. Thank you very much!”

About: Growing up in a home filled with the joyful barks of dogs and the gentle chirps of a parakeet, my love for animals started early. For over a decade, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from playful pups and curious cats to turtles and farm animals. My passion doesn't stop at basic care—I'm an adventurer at heart and love taking dogs on outdoor escapades. Whether it's a leisurely walk through the park or a thrilling hike in the hills, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and excitement they crave (couch potatoes welcome too) and treat them like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely with only an occasional in-office day (about once a quarter), so I’m home most of the day. I only leave briefly for the gym or occasional errands, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like family and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular photo updates for owners. My friendly, fully vaccinated dog enjoys having canine visitors, and introductions are always done safely.
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”

“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”


“Martha was the best sitter for my dog that I could want. She let me and my dog, Parker, preview her place to see if we were compatible. She sent updates and pics showing how Parker was doing, and kept in touch. Parker came back calm and refreshed. A great experience I’d highly recommend.”
