About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs in the house at a time. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from big to small, Seniors to puppies. I provide daily photos throughout your pets daily routine and tons of love I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of enough time to care for your fur baby. I believe all animals should be treated like they are you own even if they are temporary I live in a quiet cozy apartment with a big yard in the back. There is plenty of room for playtime and resting. Pets are welcome on all furniture
“I couldn't be happier! Their communication was excellent, with regular updates and a genuine understanding of my dog's needs. My pup came home happy and well-cared for; I highly recommend their services! 🌟🐾”
“Brooke was awesome with my dog. Being the first time she left with someone outside of our family member, she adjusted well and Brooke was great with her. Thank you Brooke for making me feel at ease with her being with you.”
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.
“Jess and her entire family were amazing! We had a great experience boarding our cocker spaniel with them. They treated our puppy like one of their own. He had a great time with the kids. Jess was communicative and accommodating and we truly appreciated them taking care of Orion.”
“Myra was very professional and took notes of everything i said and followed them. She also gave me detailed updates often including information of what activities they did, what food and how much my dog ate, when he peed and pooped. Sent me videos and pictures of my dog. And it reduced my worries to my baby fur while i was gone for a day. Myra was so loving that she even slept close to my dog so my dog wont feel lonely. Amazing experience and Will definitely book again!”
“Will was so great to our gal! He has a great property that is great for dogs who like to run around and kept us updated the whole time with pictures, what they did, and how our dog was doing. He was also very responsive and considerate of our dog’s needs. This was our first time using Rover and we were so impressed with how smooth the process was and how well they took care of our dog. Would highly highly recommend.”
“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!!!!”
“Goose had a wonderful stay with Jeren and I am so grateful for the clear communication and attention to her needs. She clearly knows a lot about dogs and provided excellent care.”
“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.”

She is very prompt and has a lot of dog behavioral experience that is helpful. I would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: My cat journey started about 11 years ago when I cat sat for a friend who had medical issues. I couldn’t resist the wonderfulness of having a cat so I adopted 2! My girls have enjoyed life with me for the last 10 years. They definitely keep my life interesting!
About: I’ve had cats in my life ever since I was a little girl. I love taking care of these energetic fur balls! We have one currently, his name is Chewy (short for Chewbacca) and I love him sooo much! I have also pet sat for some kitties before! Her name was Jean and the owner said she was shy around new people but she would come up to me and lay with me and purr! Gosh she was so cute! I just love taking care of all animals so much!! All kinds 🤭
About: Experience with multiple breeds of dogs. My heart is owned by our 5 boys and our 3 furbabies 16 year old Siberian Husky named Lola, a 2 year old husky/german Shepard mix named Skye and a 13 year old Australian shepherd named Apache . Firmly believe that pets are family and that it’s up to us humans to provide them with the best life possible. Without a doubt, I will treat your pet family members as if they were my own, with an abundance of love and attention. I know what it’s like to have a good pet sitter and I’ve been very fortunate to know what it’s like to have a peaceful vacation without worries, let me be the one to ease your mind when it comes to your pets care. I’m always doing something doggie related. In addition to Rover we also offer dog grooming so we stay pretty busy with the pooches every day of the week. I have crates to accommodate all sizes of pups for those that are crate trained. Those that need a human bed to sleep in, I’ve got plenty of those as well. Huge yard for lots of exercise.
About: I’ve had 3 dogs of my own, cared for and trained each one with all my heart! I also care of the neighbors newfies when they’re out of town. I’m currently working part-time at the hospital as a PCT, and full-time nursing student Monday’s & Tuesday’s 9am-2:30pm, Wednesday’s & Thursday’s 9am-11:50am. I’d be willing to use my free time for some extra money to get through school! And it’s a bonus I get to spend my time with furry friends! My dog has a long lead from her doghouse to the yard so whenever we let her outside she can roam, and a collar/leash when we take her for walks. It all depends on how the client would like me to care for their pets, I’m comfortable with it all.
“Sydney met with me and Jojo beforehand and then did a drop-in visit with Jojo. Jojo loved her visit. It was nice knowing I can count on Sydney while I am at work and I received a report card, pictures & a video! Thanks so much!”
“Kayla was great! Muffin was well taken care of, pictures were adorable, and peace of mind was priceless. I would definitely recommend Kayla to care for your pet and have her care for Muffin again. Thanks Kayla!!❤️”
“She is very sweet and updated when there was any issues. It appears our pets enjoy their company and gave them the meals. She was on time for the majority and within the time range that’s appropriate :).”
About: I had cats growing up and I like to help my neighbors with theirs when I can. I would love to help folks on vacation or trips get the care they need by dropping in their homes and checking on their kitty babies.
About: I have pet sit for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys and chickens. I care for animals as if they are my own. I have worked at pet stores and started learning about dog training. I am working full time remotely so I have lots of time to help your pets with their needs! I am available most every day with notice! I will give your pets as much attention as they want and need. I will take them on walks, play with them, and protect them as if they are my own.
About: Growing up on a horse farm my entire life and studying animal husbandry has given me experience caring for animals of all ages. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, small breeds, and pets needing extra attention, including those requiring daily medications. 🐾❤️ As a stay-at-home mom to my sweet seven-month-old baby girl, I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. 🐾 With your permission, my little one would join me for drop-ins or dog walks while I provide your furry friends with a safe, happy, and loving experience. ❤️ There’s no place like home, especially for your pets. 🐾 Caring for them in the comfort of your home helps keep their routine the same while providing love, attention, fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make every visit stress-free, giving your pets the care they deserve and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. The least I can do is give back to the animals that help us the most in times of need. Be their relief and protect as they do with us. My schedule is pretty flexible! I make time for the fur babies! Maintaining a close eye on the fur baby to make sure they are okay and don’t need anything at the moment. Always making sure the animal is being taken care of, is my first priority. Especially senior dogs that require more care and attention, the better for me because patience is one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). I take care of my dog daily. I take her on walks/runs to make sure she and I get some exercise and it helps with our zoomies HAHA :) I always make sure doors are locked and they are always within eyesight view whenever I have my hands full with the fur babies to prevent a sneak escape. Leash is always on before going out in public. Making sure all human food is away from pet to prevent toxin ingestion.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I live in a home who foster dogs in need. Home with the dog all day so they'll have that attention and someone caring for them. I can take care of elderly dogs that use diapers full proper care even all the way to puppies and there high energy . Me being young i do play with the dogs i like to run around with them to keep myself and them entertained. I am a MMA fighter so I'm free everyday my gym is right here at home where I train at so I'm never off the property unless I have to be. I have a fenced in back yard that the dog will have access to and when inside your dog will be with me in my room making itself a comfortable home anywhere it pleases.
About: For me, pet care has never been just a job—it's been a lifelong passion. I was raised in a family of professional trainers and boarders, where I learned from an early age how to properly care for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. We also spent countless hours working alongside local shelters, helping dogs build confidence and prepare for their forever homes. Professionally, I have over 20 years of experience working in boarding, training assistance, behavioral rehabilitation, and pet care. In 2012, I began my career as a professional dog groomer and later became certified to groom both dogs and cats. In 2020, I became certified to train new groomers as they worked toward their professional certifications. Today, I combine all of that experience to provide a calm, loving, and individualized experience for every pet in my care. My Specialties I specialize in creating fear-free, low-stress experiences built on patience, trust, and compassion. Some of my areas of expertise include: • Fear-free handling and grooming • Trauma rehabilitation grooming for pets who cannot safely visit traditional salons due to fear, anxiety, or behavioral concerns • Senior pet care • Puppy care and socialization • Pets with medical or mobility challenges • Basic training and reinforcement of good manners • Administering medications while carefully monitoring for symptoms or side effects One of my greatest passions is helping fearful dogs learn that grooming and handling don't have to be scary. Rather than forcing pets through services, I work at their pace, building trust over time with the goal of helping them become comfortable and confident again. Many of my clients come to me after being turned away from traditional grooming salons due to behavioral or medical concerns. What Your Pet Can Expect I strive to make every stay feel like a vacation with family rather than simply boarding. Your pet may enjoy: • Daily walks (typically 2-4 per day, while following your normal routine whenever possible) • Plenty of one-on-one attention and affection • Playtime, enrichment, and exercise • Trips to the dog park (with your permission and only if appropriate for your pet) • Picture, video, and message updates throughout their stay • A calm, loving home environment where they are treated like family One unique tradition many pets come to love is bedtime story time. It may sound unusual, but quietly reading aloud has helped many anxious dogs relax before bed. I've even seen it help dogs experiencing storm anxiety or fear of loud noises settle more comfortably. Routine is incredibly important to me. If your pet has a specific schedule, feeding routine, medication plan, or bedtime ritual, I'll do everything possible to maintain it while they're in my care. Because of my experience working with behavioral and medical cases, I also pay close attention to subtle changes in your pet's behavior, mobility, appetite, and overall well-being. If I notice anything concerning, I'll communicate with you immediately and act quickly in your pet's best interest. Communication & Grooming I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet care. The more I know about your pet's personality, routines, preferences, and medical history, the better experience I can provide. In return, you'll receive detailed updates about how they're doing, including behavior, activities, and anything I notice that may be helpful for you to know. During boarding or daycare stays, I'm also happy to reinforce basic training and offer guidance on grooming maintenance, body language, and behavioral changes that may strengthen your bond with your pet at home. Professional grooming services are available for pets staying in my care. Grooming recommendations, pricing, and service completion depend on your pet's size, coat condition, medical needs, and stress level. My philosophy is simple: I will never force a pet through a service. Their comfort, trust, and emotional well-being always come first. Booking Information To help protect my home while still providing every pet with the highest level of care, the estimated price for boarding and daycare includes a refundable cleaning/security fee. This fee is fully refunded after your pet's stay provided there is no excessive damage or extraordinary cleaning required beyond normal pet messes. I believe this allows me to continue offering a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every guest while being fair to both pet parents and my home. My goal is simple: every pet should leave my care feeling safe, loved, understood, and excited to come back. I am generally home all day. I do work as a groomer for pets that are unable to got to salons, but I do this from home as well. So your pets will have round the clock love and care. You will need to provide any food and specific treats if your pet has a favorite or dietary restrictions/allergies. Pets are family. I will personally take them for walks throughout the day for fresh air and exercise, play with them and ensure they feel comfortable and lived while you are away. I do offer creating services, however, depending on the size of your dog, you may have to supply the crate. You pet will always be treated like family, but the details of their routine and activities will depend on your instructions. I respect that different lifestyles require different things (i.e crating vs free roam, scheduled feeding vs grazing, scheduled walks/potty breaks vs whenever they want to go out, etc.) and will maintain that sense of normalcy as much as possible. If you opt for grooming, and I am able to comfortably groom your dog, grooming will take place 1-2 days before your return. That way they have time to decompress after, and if they are stressed for parts, it gives leeway to do little bits over time.
About: My experience is a unique blend of a long-time educational and research background and 47 years of dedicated canine care, providing a professional practice rooted in deep knowledge and a lifetime of devotion. I offer specialized expertise in the full spectrum of a dog’s life, from the joyful, structured development of raising my current puppy, Oliver Lane, from 10 weeks old, to the tender, complex management of my late two elderly 15-year-old babies. This dual experience means I am equally skilled at navigating puppy milestones and providing the specialized medical and palliative care required for seniors. I apply the same discipline from my 25-year career to maintain a structured 24/7 routine, ensuring that every pet—regardless of age—benefits from a calm, intuitive, and highly organized environment filled with family-level love. SPECIALIZED PET CAR: After a 25-year career as a doctoral-level educational professional, I have transitioned to a full-time schedule dedicated to dog care. Maintaining a 24/7 routine for my own 2-year-old fur child, Oliver Lane, affords me the unique flexibility to adapt to your dog's specific scheduling needs. I provide smoke-free, hypoallergenic, flea- and tick-conscious boarding in my pet-friendly home, designed with easy-clean flooring for comfort and hygiene. Dogs enjoy a full acre of play space in a welcoming neighborhood with secure neighboring fences for a safe, social environment. Crating is available only if requested, part of a routine, or needed for training/transitional support. Verifiable shot records are required for any service. Transportation is available in my Ford Explorer “Mini-Hotel,” featuring climate-controlled comfort, orthopedic blankets, toys, and premium treats. With 25 years of leadership experience and a lifetime of animal care, I provide 24/7 active supervision, ensuring every guest is safe, loved, and treated like family. For everyone’s safety, please let me know your dog’s current flea/tick prevention status. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority.
“Alyssa took wonderful care of our dog babies. My sister and I are grateful to have her close by to watch them when needed. She is sweet and kind and you can tell she genuinely enjoys caring for dogs. We will definitely be booking again soon!”
“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.”
“Thank you, Jessica. It was a relief to have my older pup in such loving, capable hands. Thank you for sending photos along throughout the day. It helped take my mind off of my surgical day.”

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.

That way they have time to decompress after, and if they are stressed for parts, it gives leeway to do little bits over time.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 and can’t imagine life without them! While serving in the Navy, I volunteered at military kennels, and later worked at a doggy daycare/boarding/training facility in Texas. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets, and I share my home with a sweet 10-year-old lab and a 2-year-old Norwegian Forest Cat. Reliable, patient, and attentive — I promise to treat your pets like my own. I have a flexible schedule and lots of love to give! Whether it’s a quick walk or a cozy check-in, I’ll make sure your furry family members get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. During walks, I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure a fun and secure outing. For in-home check-ins, I follow all your instructions carefully, provide love and attention, and make sure your pets feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of an array of animals and have a trusted eye for any underlying issues that may arise. I have taken care of elder dogs and pups who are only a few hours old. I understand how stressful and worrisome it can be as a parent of an animal who needs a lot of attention, to have to trust another with the care and detail you would give. I am here for you! Your fur babies comfort and health is always at the top of my priority list! That is a guarantee! My fiancé and I just recently moved to Delaware from Florida to help out as a caregiver for a family member. He is the primary caregiver, we both are going to school but our availability is based around our work schedules. In which my schedule is wide open! Please let me know if and how I can help you! We unfortunately cannot have any additional pups or cats at our apartment because of the sensitivity of our caregiver ship. We have medical supplies in designated areas of course but sometimes the elderly lady we take care of will drop her pills and we just don’t want to put an animal at risk by boarding them with us at the moment.
About: With over 10 years of experience breeding, raising and caring for dogs, I have worked extensively with Rottweilers, Pitbulls, Shihpoohs, Shihtzus, and Frenchies. I live on 2 acres of land, providing plenty of space for dogs to safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoors! As a busy and large family, dogs in our care are accustomed to a loving, family friendly environment filled with attention, affection, and companionship. Over the years, I have also cared for numerous dogs belonging to family members and friends, treating each one as if they were my own. I am passionate about canine health and wellness. I prioritize high quality nutrition, offer raw diet feeding options upon owner request, and regularly incorporate healthy organic fruits and natural treats into our feeding routines. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching home where your dog feels comfortable, loved and part of the family while you’re away. I am a business owner who work right at home, where I care for our own dogs and our clients dogs. I have ample time to dedicate to your pet daily. I have allocated kennels and open land for the dogs to exercise and play. I have limited neighbors, and an entire facility for comfortable and personable sleeping arrangements and cooling/heating depending on outdoor weather.

About: I have 8 animals of my own, both dogs and cats. I also work part time as a Kennel Technician so I am very familiar with different animal personalities and how I’m expected to care for them! Neighbors, friends, family & clients have relied on me to care for their furry friends and I’ve loved getting to know each one. I am pet CPR & First aid Certified. I work as a nanny from 11-5 as well as dog sitting overnights frequently. I work as a nanny from 11-5 in Southampton. College is online so that won’t be a problem right now. My scheduled days can change but shifts are no longer than 6 hours at a time, Mon-Fri. I live in Sayville. I have plenty of time in the morning & afternoon for long walks and fetch!

I am very responsible and will care for your house just as well as your pets! I know it takes a lot to entrust someone in your home so I won’t let you regret it.
About: I will love and take care of your pets as if they were my own. I love to go out and play with pets I care for. I would dog sit when I was in high school for different families. Those families loved how attentive I was, and as a result they would refer me to their friends. I’m always available for you buddies! You and me both know that your pets are more than pets, theyre family. You don’t want just anyone taking care of family. I do currently work full time, however I have a job that is extremely flexible. I set my own hours, including when I am in my office. This pairs perfectly with animal care and house care because I can come and go as frequently as needed. Due to my open schedule I can be available for any needs your pets may have. I prefer to let the client tell me exactly what they want for their pet. I like to keep your life as simple as possible while giving you peace of mind by following any requests you have. If you need your animal crated, if you want them roaming, whatever is asked you can expect to be done.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! We’ve had cats and reptiles before as well! I’ve dog sat for the past year now for a family every now and again when they need me! I’ve done it for a whole week or just a night out! Feeding, letting outside, walks, playing and of course some cuddling and pets! House sitting is obviously involved and I am ready for whatever you need me to do around the house while you are gone! I can’t wait to meet you and you’re animal friend! I’m available any weekday anytime around 8am-6pm except on Tuesdays I need to be home by 5pm! Weekends would need a heads up and could only work until 2pm OR could only work at night! I will not be boarding animals at my house! I do not have the facilities for that and also have 3 crazy beagles at home who would not appreciate another animal in the house!
About: I’ve had 3 dogs of my own, cared for and trained each one with all my heart! I also care of the neighbors newfies when they’re out of town. I’m currently working part-time at the hospital as a PCT, and full-time nursing student Monday’s & Tuesday’s 9am-2:30pm, Wednesday’s & Thursday’s 9am-11:50am. I’d be willing to use my free time for some extra money to get through school! And it’s a bonus I get to spend my time with furry friends! My dog has a long lead from her doghouse to the yard so whenever we let her outside she can roam, and a collar/leash when we take her for walks. It all depends on how the client would like me to care for their pets, I’m comfortable with it all.

“This was our first time using Rebeka and she was phenomenal. Not only did she make arrangements at work to walk my dog super last minute but she was very sweet and conscious of my dog’s anxiety around other dogs. We will definitely be using her again! I have already referred her to family and friends.”

“I couldn't be happier! Their communication was excellent, with regular updates and a genuine understanding of my dog's needs. My pup came home happy and well-cared for; I highly recommend their services! 🌟🐾”
“Brooke was awesome with my dog. Being the first time she left with someone outside of our family member, she adjusted well and Brooke was great with her. Thank you Brooke for making me feel at ease with her being with you.”
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.
“Jess and her entire family were amazing! We had a great experience boarding our cocker spaniel with them. They treated our puppy like one of their own. He had a great time with the kids. Jess was communicative and accommodating and we truly appreciated them taking care of Orion.”
“Will was so great to our gal! He has a great property that is great for dogs who like to run around and kept us updated the whole time with pictures, what they did, and how our dog was doing. He was also very responsive and considerate of our dog’s needs. This was our first time using Rover and we were so impressed with how smooth the process was and how well they took care of our dog. Would highly highly recommend.”
“Goose had a wonderful stay with Jeren and I am so grateful for the clear communication and attention to her needs. She clearly knows a lot about dogs and provided excellent care.”
“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.”
“Johanna cared for Maggie like her own! Mags seemed to have a wonderful time, was happy and calm when we picked her up. Safe home. Look forward to having Maggie with Johanna in the future!”
“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!!”
“Brigid took care of my senior girl, Chloe, for 4 nights. She was open to a last minute meet and greet. She accommodated Chloe’s senior needs, sent updates, and gave a nice verbal summary at how Chloe’s time went and included things she will miss about her. Chloe seemed content when I arrived, often going over to Brigid several times while we packed up all of her things into the car. Being a dog sitter myself, I found comfort in that, considering they were strangers just days before. I would recommend Brigid!”
“Chloe took great care of our dog, Zelda, who had an injured knee and had to take it easy. Chloe sent us a midday update (pup cup, stuffie & some liesure time outside - Z seemed happy as a clam) and was very responsive. We'd definitely trust Chloe to watch our girl again!”
