“Diane was great & I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs. Cared for a senior dog with medication needs. Lots of walks! Kept us informed on how our dog was doing. A joy to talk to and was very friendly.”
“Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She sent frequent updates with pictures and was super caring. I could tell that she has a true passion for animals when I first met her. Everything worked out so easily that I had no cares leaving my dog behind. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks Claudia!!!!”
“Candice was absolutely exceptional!!! I am very impressed with her service. This was our first time ever leaving our dog with anyone. I felt so comfortable with her, she has good energy and warm smile. She lives on such a beautiful water property and has two cute dogs that look so well taken care of. Her home is so nice and cozy, I felt like my dog was living in luxury for 9 days! My dog seemed right at home immediately at drop off hanging out with her two dogs and didn’t care I was leaving which is rare. While on vacation I received message updates and pictures of my dog that were so cute. Her two sweet daughter’s even spent time with my dog. Maxxie also got a squeaky toy parting gift from Candice. It literally was the perfect family for my dog while we were away it doesn’t get any better than this! I was a peace and knew our boy Maxxie was very well taken care of. She treated my dog like it was her own and that is what you want in a Dog Sitter! I will be a repeat customer!!! I don’t think it gets better than Candice she is the BEST and truly raises the bar high. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Totiyana provided such a loving experience for our fur baby, Emmie. She is not used to being around other dogs especially big dogs but Totiyana help her get comfy and before you knew it Emmie was settled. We appreciate Totiyana’s flexibility and being able to take our last minute request! Such a blessing! We appreciate her care so much we booked two weekends in a row! Looking forward for future bookings for boarding our needs.”
“We left our tiny little shih tzu puppy with Bethany and her pitbull, Star, for the weekend. The two not only got along great, but I understand Pookie harassed Star at length and got nothing but cuddles and patience in return. Bethany was very nice and made everything easy for us. She returned our messages promptly and made us feel at ease while we were away. Next time we need a sitter, Bethany will be our first call. ”
“Justin and Steph were amazing again!! They made my dog feel at home and she was a happy girl when I picked her up! I travel 45 min to have my dog stay at their place because they are just so good with her! They were great with communication and sending tons of updates and pictures!”
“Just had our 2nd stay with Barbra and it was fantastic! She takes such great care of our dog and we will be using her anytime we can. I think our dog was very sad to leave with all the fun he had playing and roaming her huge yard. Highly recommend her services!!!”
“I boarded my two dogs, Simba and Ghost, with Sunaina for five nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She took excellent care of them, followed all of my instructions to the letter, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It was clear that Simba and Ghost were comfortable and well looked after, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sunaina to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and caring dog sitter!”
“Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.”
“Couldn’t have had a better experience. Such a sweet, gracious lady. Sent pictures and communicated daily. Loved on my babies, not just “dogs sat.” Even allowed me to pick them up LATE as my flight was delayed! I have my new local “Rover-ine!””
“Ollie felt right at home. I loved the large fenced yard for off-leash exercise and that I got lots of picture updates. He enjoyed the extra company from other pups and children too. Thank you!!”
“5 stars! Rita went above and beyond for our 14 year old Louis. She is very reliable, responsive, gives good updates and is very caring with her animal guests. We will definititely ask for Rita again!!!”
“Andrea is awesome! Took such good care of our dog. Updated us everyday with videos and pictures. You could tell our dog was super happy and was treated like one of the family. I would absolutely use her again.”
“They took great care of our goldendoodle. I forgot to bring additional food for his stay and they took care of it. We needed an extra day of care and that was taken care of as well. Look forward to using again soon.”
“This was our first time using Yvonne and she truly put me at ease with her style of pet care. Our dog has some anxiety issues when we leave him with new people, but he did great. Yvonne was very diligent in sending updates and pictures and it was clear he was being well taken care of. We will definitely be using Yvonne & Joe again.”
“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”

“Macy did AMAZING with our pup!! Super sweet and kind! She sent us lots of photos and updates. Even sat outside with her while it was pouring rain, and brought in her food package for us when we weren’t home! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have cared for cats ranging from kittens to seniors for roughly 10 years. I am comfortable giving medications whether it be in pill form, liquid form, or inhaled — I am happy to make sure they get what they need, calmly and without stress. Litter boxes, teeth brushing, whatever routine you have in place for your kitty, I am sure to follow!
About: I’ve taken care of cats of different ages and needs since I was 10. That coupled with my experience working in a shelter setting has equipped me with the knowledge to meet the needs of many different types of cats.
About: When cats view me as the facilities manager, they will find their litter box clean and tidy on the inside as well as the outside. When they see me as the chef I will prepare their favorite foods that will entice them to come out of hiding. If they want to hide, that’s okay. I’ll just let them smell me until they warm up and eventually come around. Cats rule. And I love them for that.
“Abby did great taking care if our boys! I didn't receive very many in-the-moment updates/pictures which was outside of what Im used to, but she spent significant time we'll outside of the 30 minute expected window taking being present and caring for our cats. I felt safe knowing they were in good hands - no complaints.”
“Adriene was AMAZING with our two dogs, Chole and Luna! She gave them such love and attention. She communicated with us while we were away. This made us feel so comfortable. We knew they girls were being well cared for. We highly recommed Adriene!”
“Grace was amazing, She genuinely loves animals and it felt stress free leaving our fur babies with her. She knew how to take care of them and I know they loved her too! She was constantly in touch with us giving updates and taking pictures. I appreciated it so much and will 100% book again with her”
“We picked Violeta to watch our 2 cats because of her excellent feedback. We can now personally attest that her scores were well deserved. She communicates very well, she is dependable, and our cats loved her. We will definitely be contacting her the next time we are on vacation.”
About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember—starting from age six, I grew up surrounded by pets and can’t imagine life without them. I currently have three cats and one dog of my own, so daily pet care is already a natural part of my routine. Over the years, I’ve learned to understand animals’ different personalities, needs, and signals. I’m patient, loving, and attentive, and I treat every pet like family. I’m also comfortable with bathing and grooming, including giving basic haircuts for dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy senior, or a curious kitty, I always adapt my care to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. With my flexible work schedule and my husband working from home full-time, your pet will never feel alone. One of us is always around to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, we’re here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and part of the family—even on weekends. This constant presence allows us to closely follow their routines and quickly respond to any needs that come up. In my pet-friendly home, safety and comfort come first.

I’m located near beautiful state parks and reservoirs—perfect for peaceful, enriching walks in nature. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely and offer lots of love, attention, and care as if they were my own.
“Julia was absolutely amazing! She was right on time, very flexible, super sweet, and treated my puppy, Fern, like her own! She and Fern became fast friends, and Fern was very sad to see Julia go. I’ll be booking with Julia again, no question about that!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for other families, and my own, since I was 14 years old! I have experience with young and old dogs of all sizes. I am a college student, and fairly active in the community, so always happy to make connections. I am down for whatever you and your dog need! I’m a student at the University of Delaware, so I have limited availability during the work day, but have at least one day of the weekends free and am available before or after classes! I care about making sure you’re at ease when you leave your pet in my care! It can be hard to leave behind a dog even for a short amount of time, and I want to assure that your experience, and your dog’s, are great! I have treats if necessary, am comfortable and experienced with dogs, and will use the commands that you prefer!
“Lisa is a fantastic cat sitter. She dropped by to check in on our three cats while my husband and I were on vacation. She made sure our cats were well fed, emptied the litter robot when needed, and provided love and attention to the fur babies while we were away. Lisa is very responsive over text, which is so helpful. 10/10 will book again.”
“Spencer Michael is an absolute star and our pets absolutely loved them! Super experienced, communicative and, chill. Definitely will contact again for all our pet sitting needs.”

About: Hi, I’m Beth and I have been sitting professionally since 2012. I also have experience as fostering for a shelter dog. I am a homeschooling parent of two kids ages 7 and 10 (also animal lovers!) so I am home all day and your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I promise to give your dog lots of individual attention! I am comfortable with administering medication or dogs that have special needs, including experience with blind/deaf animals and dogs with paralysis. I’d be happy to complete whatever daily activities your dog is used to such as walks at specific times, grooming, etc. If your dog will need something in particular, just ask! For high energy and adventurous doggos, I absolutely love hiking and running with dogs, so if this is something your dog would enjoy please let me know! I pride myself on being dependable and trustworthy. I’m flexible and here to help - if you and your pet need something, just ask, and we can work out a schedule and pricing that fits your needs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions; I look forward to providing companionship and care for your dog! Why I love dog sitting: I grew up with dogs, cats, and all manner of small animals. I currently have a rescue kitty with special health needs of her own. I have had several dogs in my life; all different and all truly loved. I also fostered a stray dog for ACCT in Philadelphia from January-April 2015. I love caring for and helping animals lead happy lives. I’d love to provide the same kind of loving family experience for your dog while you're away. Meet my pets I share my home with a very elderly but very happy kitty named Lucy. She is getting up there in years, but very used to dogs. She grew up around my dog that I unfortunately lost in 2022 and they were great friends. We also have two gerbils named Snowball and Oatmeal. About our yard We have a good sized fenced backyard, but I would never leave your dog out there by him or herself since it is an unfamiliar area. I would much rather go out with your dog when he/she needs to! My experience administering medication: I am very comfortable administering all sorts of medication, as long as I am provided with the instructions for correct administration. I have experience sitting for dogs with needed medications and special needs/physical limitations, including blind and paralyzed dogs. Basically, I want both you and your dog to feel totally comfortable during his or her stay. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. I homeschool my kids so I’m home most of the time. We usually wrap up school by lunchtime so that leaves plenty of the day for lots of doggie walks and playtime! I have a large fenced backyard and my furniture is pet friendly. My kids are comfortable around dogs and can either be high energy playmates or quiet and respectful of dogs that might be more shy and low key.

“Danielle is wonderful! She has been hosting Samson for daycare twice a week since he was 10 weeks old (now almost 15 weeks). Samson loves to play with her resident dog Sarge and comes home exhausted every time. He gets so excited when he realizes he's going to Danielle's in the morning!”

About: Although I’m young, I have been around dogs as long as I can remember. I’ve owned, fostered, and worked with shelters. I know all the ins and outs of dogs! I’m currently on summer break until late August and there is nothing else that would need my attention besides your pet at the current moment. I have a fenced in backyard, but it is on the smaller side. I have one male neutered dog who is very friendly with others and loves to play.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.
“I contacted Erikah, last minute, to walk my mom's energetic Golden Retriever. She responded within two hours and adjusted her plans to walk the dog the same day! My mom raved about her approach--super friendly--as well as how well she handled Beamer. He jumped all over her when she arrived, but she stayed cool, calmed him down and got to the walk. She walked him for the full hour and actually wore him down. Absolutely A+”
“I have NEVER heard my dog scream in excitement like he did when he saw Matt again yesterday! If I ever die, I really hope Matt & Jenni would consider taking him in! Their dog, Daisy, is seriously my dog's favorite girlfriend. Thank you both for so lovingly enriching his life!”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for senior dogs and pets that need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. I’ve participated in shelter skip days at the SPCA, and I’m almost always drawn to the older dogs. That’s just where my heart is. I genuinely enjoy taking things at their pace, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also a huge cat person. Whether your cat is social and playful or more reserved and independent, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel relaxed while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, and I try to be the kind of sitter I’d want for my own animals, responsive, dependable, calm, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, medication routines, companionship, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Pet care is the perfect fit for my current life schedule. I took early retirement from my day job just so I could provide pet services. It’s way less stressful and more rewarding. I can provide overnight care for a dog in my home as well as provide drip in visits and walks. I can do extended drip in visits for cats so they have a chance to get to know me.
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs throughout the past few years. I provided whatever they needed whether that was feeding, walking, or playing. I’m currently working a part time restaurant job that never ends later than 10:30 pm. So I will have plenty of time to take care of pets overnight and during the day. I provide reliable, attentive care in my client’s homes by following routines, offering playtime and affection, administering medications as needed, and keeping owners updated regularly.
About: I’ve always been good with animals. My family has been raising dogs since I was a little kid and I really love all our pets. I work part time, usually in the afternoons/night. This would be something good for me to do during the day to keep working and staying busy. I have been walking my dogs and taking care of them since I was 9. I’ve always been responsible for cleaning up after them and keeping them safe. I’d do the same for any dog I’d walk or let out.

“Spencer was excellent with Sadie! Sadie can take some time to warm up to people, Spencer took her time, gave her treats and made sure she was comfortable before taking her out. Sadie was one happy and tired pup after her walk, I would definitely recommend Spencer for all your dog needs :)”

About: I have lots of experience taking care of dogs as I am my aunt and uncles go-to dog sitter! Dealt with large powerful golden retrievers as well as a smaller poodle breads. I am a full time student at the university of Delaware and am available to come throughout the day between my classes for walks, feeding, and play time! I will uphold respect and cleanliness of all spaces and ensure full pet safety and cleaning up any messes made by pets or during the visit!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10. I worked at a doggy daycare and an animal hospital for almost a year. I’m comfortable with all types of animals, including exotics, and can deal with all kinds of temperaments and medical needs. Currently I attend University of Delaware as a pre-veterinary medicine major. I am available 7 days and week and throughout the - I occasionally work at a dog boarding facility but shifts are usually no longer than 7 hours I am comfortable coming to other houses and doing overnight stays as well, which I have done before for clients. Unfortunately I cannot board at my house.
About: I have 9+ years of experience with walking dogs, and years of experience in feeding, training, playing, and caring for both dogs and cats. My entire life I have always been drawn to animals, and am a huge animal lover! In my early teen years, I worked at a dog daycare where I oversaw the care of up to 14 dogs at one time. It was a huge responsibility, but I looked forward to going to work each shift I had because to me it didn’t even feel like work, it felt like a reward getting to care and play with so many animals. Whenever I go anywhere whether it’s a walk around my college campus, a family or friends house, or the park, I am always immediately drawn to all the dogs I see and always ask if I can take a minute to pet each dog. A multitude of family and friends have consistently told me that it’s evident how much I love animals, and how well I get along with them. I am someone you can trust to make sure your pet gets the best possible care when you are gone. As a former cat owner and current dog owner myself, I know just how much love and care pets need on a day to day basis. Whenever I am away from my dog who is my bestfriend in the whole world, I definitely can feel anxious or stressed. I am dedicated to keeping pet parents up to date on the wellbeing of your pets with photos, videos, up to date messages and anything else you’d like as a pet parent (I am happy to do facetime calls too!!). I will always be available and reachable when I am with your pet to answer any questions, concerns, or even just send over some extra photos if you are really missing your furry companion! Additionally, your pets wellbeing and safety is my top priority. I have worked hard to familiarize myself with signs of distress and discomfort in animals, and if anything doesn’t look right I will not hesitate to jump into action to make sure your pet is safe. My dog has had a few scary incidents, and as difficult as it was, it helped to prepare me to know the signs when something is not right and know what to do in case of an emergency. I decided to join rover because I wanted the opportunity to help take care and hangout with animals on a regular basis because it is truly something I absolutely love. I am hard working, enthusiastic, dedicated, and I will care for your pet as if it is my own. I hope you will consider entrusting me to care for such a valuable member of your family! • * Please note I require meet and greets with all potential pet clients BEFORE bookings!* I am currently a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your furry companion. I am very flexible, and when I am not in classes or other school commitments I have a very open schedule to care for your pet! Currently, I offer services within the clients home for walks or check ins with your pet. I am very flexible, and will work with you to get to know what routine works best for your pet. At this time due to a family members allergy, I am not able to offer boarding services in my home.

“Diane was great & I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs. Cared for a senior dog with medication needs. Lots of walks! Kept us informed on how our dog was doing. A joy to talk to and was very friendly.”
“Totiyana provided such a loving experience for our fur baby, Emmie. She is not used to being around other dogs especially big dogs but Totiyana help her get comfy and before you knew it Emmie was settled. We appreciate Totiyana’s flexibility and being able to take our last minute request! Such a blessing! We appreciate her care so much we booked two weekends in a row! Looking forward for future bookings for boarding our needs.”
“Enrica was wonderful with Pippin! Pippin greeted her like she had known Enrica for years and was instantly at ease. Pippin is a rescue and has separation anxiety, but she was totally relaxed with Enrica. Enrica is an amazing dog sitter, flexible with not being able to leave my dog alone, and understanding when we had a last-minute schedule change.”
“We left our tiny little shih tzu puppy with Bethany and her pitbull, Star, for the weekend. The two not only got along great, but I understand Pookie harassed Star at length and got nothing but cuddles and patience in return. Bethany was very nice and made everything easy for us. She returned our messages promptly and made us feel at ease while we were away. Next time we need a sitter, Bethany will be our first call. ”
“Justin and Steph were amazing again!! They made my dog feel at home and she was a happy girl when I picked her up! I travel 45 min to have my dog stay at their place because they are just so good with her! They were great with communication and sending tons of updates and pictures!”
“I boarded my two dogs, Simba and Ghost, with Sunaina for five nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She took excellent care of them, followed all of my instructions to the letter, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It was clear that Simba and Ghost were comfortable and well looked after, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sunaina to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and caring dog sitter!”
“Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.”
“Our dog stayed with Jen for four days, and he was coddled and so well cared for! We got frequent updates and pictures, and know he had a great time. We would have no hesitation to have our boy stay again!”
“Ollie felt right at home. I loved the large fenced yard for off-leash exercise and that I got lots of picture updates. He enjoyed the extra company from other pups and children too. Thank you!!”
“I was very happy with Mac's stay with Laurel. I had shared with her that Mac loves going on walks and she took him for two long walks. She shared with me how he was doing over the course of the day. I would use Laurel again without hesitation.”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Andrea is awesome! Took such good care of our dog. Updated us everyday with videos and pictures. You could tell our dog was super happy and was treated like one of the family. I would absolutely use her again.”
About: I have had animals all of my life. Love Dogs, big and small, Cats finicky and cuddly. I have taken care of special needs animals and have managed medications as well as shots and measuring blood sugar. Currently I have two rescue Greyhounds and a Jack Russell Terrier, basically 2 couch potatoes and a WonderDog who never stops chasing a stick. Last but not least I have Sage, a 15-year-old grey tabby who looks really good for her age and puts the Pups in their place. In any event I am looking forward to meeting your pets in the near future. ~Regards, Kelli I am currently semi-retired and have all of the time in the world. In other words my schedule is quite flexible, so I am able to work around yours. Although I do not offer pet sitting in my home, I am able to accommodate any needs or schedule for your pets in your home. I am also able to transport your pets in my SUV for Park, Veterinary visits etc..
“They took great care of our goldendoodle. I forgot to bring additional food for his stay and they took care of it. We needed an extra day of care and that was taken care of as well. Look forward to using again soon.”
“This was our first time using Yvonne and she truly put me at ease with her style of pet care. Our dog has some anxiety issues when we leave him with new people, but he did great. Yvonne was very diligent in sending updates and pictures and it was clear he was being well taken care of. We will definitely be using Yvonne & Joe again.”
“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”
