“Joshua takes such good care of Layla! She’s high energy and strong on a leash and Joshua handles her with ease. She was happy and a good tired after her walk!”


“Kerri and Harry were very helpful. They gave our cat medication, food and water. They changed the litter box and brought in a package for us. We also had a nice meet and greet before the pet visits. I recommend them for your pet care.”


“Nikki has been absolutely incredible with my puppy Otis. Nikki is patient, attentive, and ensures Otis is happy and well cared for. I feel at ease knowing that Otis is in her capable hands.”


“Nicole was very responsive, and I appreciated that she was willing to come meet our dog before watching him for the first time. She provided updates and pictures, and I look forward to having her stay with our little guy again in the future!”


“Sophia was wonderful. You can tell she truly loves dogs by the way she interacts with them. I had to find someone last minute to come in and check-on Pennie. She was prompt in getting back to me and came right over the next morning for a meet and greet. She sent me updates and photos of Pennie which was great. I would highly recommend her and will be using her when I need a sitter for Pennie .”


About: Our journey as a professional pet sitter began 3 years ago, and since then we loved it! We are experienced in providing care and love to a variety breeds, sizes and ages of the fur babies. Our furry guests will have the privileges of enjoying the gentle care along with the routine walks, bonding activities and musical entertainment in a clean and affectionate home. I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible for watching your fur babies. If I need to go out and run errands, I take the furry guests with me. We have 2 caged-in bunnies, and it's quite a surprise that they are not afraid of dogs! The bunnies can be relocated to upstairs if needed. Your fur babies will have supervised play in the backyard, and we always make sure to keep our house organized for safety reason. Please let us know your instructions from the vet for any special needs.

“We were so lucky to have Stacy take care of our dog Mila while we were away! Mila takes a lot of medication and Stacy made sure she takes everything on time. She went above and beyond to make Mila feel comfortable with a new person in the house and by her second or third visit Mila was already as exited to see Stacy as she is to see us. Stacy answered all my questions and was available to discuss how Mila is doing 24/7”


About: I’ve grown up caring for both large and small breeds, including Cane Corsos and Shih Tzus. I’m patient, reliable, and love building trust with every dog. I’ve house sat for neighbors and friends for years, and I’m confident with senior dog care, giving meds, and sticking to routines. I treat every pup like my own! I work part-time on weekends, but I’m fully available during the week for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and have plenty of flexibility to give them the attention and care they need. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just company, I’m here for them! In a client’s home, I follow all routines closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I give lots of attention, keep things clean, and send regular updates so you always feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness is my priority!

“Elizabeth went above & beyond! A family situation caused last minute changes and she was so helpful. She took AMAZING care of both my pups and communication was fantastic. I will definitely reach out when I need a sitter again.”



About: I've never not had a dog. As a child I assisted my parents with pet care for dogs and many other animals. Growing up at different times we had hamsters, rabbits, birds, etc., but we always had a dog. By my 20s I got my first cat and by my mid 20s I got married and adopted my first dog in my adult life (RIP Kora). I've cared for dogs from puppyhood and training through to senior and end of life care. In my 44 years I've run the gamut of dog care from feeding, bathing, medicines, fleas and tick care, walking, and even more unsavory things like dealing with skunk sprays. I'm a mom to four fur babies (2 dogs & 2 cats) as well as 2 human teenagers. And I'm a wife to my wonderful husband who is trained in the medical field. "A house is not a home without a dog" I'm a full-time homemaker and crafter. Unless I'm running a kid somewhere I'm home and available for your pup. Dogs will have access to the backyard to do their business, run around, and play. I have a decent sized fenced and secure yard for your dog to run around in. If I'm coming to your house, my own dogs will be attended to at home by my family. If you're coming to my house a meet and greet is required as my older dog can be curmudgeonly and is picky about which dogs she wants to get along with. We will know how she feels within the first 10 seconds of meeting. She is a 10 year old rescue mutt. I also have a 2 year old rescue male who is a big furry lovable ball of energy. Both of my dogs are altered and up to date on their shots. Dogs coming to my home must be cat friendly.

About: Hi! I’m Katie, a lifelong animal lover with a heart (and home) full of love for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around dogs and caring for them my whole life has taught me that every pup is unique—and they all deserve love, patience, and belly rubs galore! Whether it’s a leisurely walk, energetic playtime, or simply snuggling on the couch, I tailor my care to your dog’s specific needs. I’m known for being reliable, responsible, and deeply compassionate. I’ll treat your pet like family and give them the kind of attention and affection I’d want for my own fur babies! You can count on me to be prompt, communicative, and fully present with your pet—because I truly love what I do. I’m here to make your life easier and your dog’s life happier. 🐶💛 Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your best friend! I work a full time job 8-5 pm. I am looking to fill in some time and gain some extra income by doing something else I will truly love and enjoy! I am available before and after work and I have availability on the weekends. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Here’s how I ensure every walk and visit is safe, secure, and stress-free—for both you and your pup: • Leash & Collar Check: I always double-check that harnesses, collars, and leashes are properly secured before each walk to prevent escapes. • Controlled Walks: I avoid high-traffic areas, unfamiliar dogs, or unsafe terrain. I stick to familiar routes unless you approve otherwise, and I stay alert to potential hazards like broken glass or hot pavement. • Personalized Attention: I never walk dogs from different households together—your dog gets my full focus the entire time. • Weather Awareness: I adjust our plans based on weather. On hot days, I’ll avoid overheating with short walks and offer water breaks. In winter, I’ll watch for ice or cold paw pads. • Home Safety: For drop-ins, I make sure doors are locked, hazards are out of reach, food & water is available and I follow your home instructions to a T. • Emergency Preparedness: I carry a phone at all times, keep emergency contacts saved, and know the location of the nearest vet or animal hospital just in case.

About: I have taken care of dogs, including my family dog and family friends. I can go on walks, feed, and take dogs out often throughout the day when needed. I have done doggy day out at college, where I have taken care of a dog from an Delaware Humane Animal Partners. Finally, I have experience fostering a young cat for 1 year. I am working part time, mostly at nights. I will be able to spend a decent amount of time caring for your pet and keeping them busy! I have a fenced in yard at my house, and no pets at home. If I am at a client's house, I will respect their rules and walk or take the dog out accordingly.

“It’s always stressful leaving your babies behind for a few days but Dana took great care of our girls. She sent us updates and photos with each visit and took excellent care of our home as well. We will definitely use her in the future.”


About: Hi my name is Olivia I am 22 years old. Animals have always been my passion. I’ve been pet sitting for years and I have tons of experience when it comes to cats and dogs. I always make sure your pets are my priority! I am currently a student and I do have a part time job! I am very flexible with my schedule and in school I have breaks so I can definitely visit your pet. I always make sure your pets are always fed, played with and crated if needed. I will also send you pictures and updates on how your pet is doing!

About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility, or “dog hotel”, as well as a veterinary clinic where I was in charge of caring for both dogs and cats. Walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them while ensuring their safety was part of my job. I also pet-sit for friends and family often. I currently work on my own schedule doing freelance art, so I’m using this to supplement my income. So, my schedule is free to work around yours. Whatever your normal routine is with your dog, I can follow it. I have worked with many different breeds of dogs, and I don’t mind if they are the energetic type and just want to play all day or if they’re the type to lounge around and sleep all day.

“I definitely recommend Kimberly and Paul for your pup! They took such good care of our boxer while we went away. They were knowledgeable, on time and went above and beyond. I felt so comfortable knowing Sadie was in good hands. They communicated with us and documented all of Sadie's moves. I would absolutely use them again next time!”

Village Shires pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bill is an exceptional dog walker! Our dog, Remmy, absolutely adored him. Bill is punctual, reliable, and provides fantastic updates after each visit. He’s also a very understanding person. After a long trip, we returned home to a dog that was not only happy but also well-cared for. Our family highly recommends Bill. Just hope he doesn’t get too many customers so we can easily book again. Thanks, Bill!

Diane takes such good care of our puppy Bunny! She has been caring for her the last few months and goes above and beyond what we ask of her. She is prompt at communication and extremely reliable! Our neighbors even comment on how great Diane is in her care for our puppy. We’d recommend her to everyone.
