“Jennifer was fantastic! Teddy absolutely loved her—he didn’t want her to leave! She was right on time, and took amazing care of him and our place. It was clear he felt completely comfortable & so did we! We will book again. Highly recommend Jennifer!”
“It was a pleasure to have Cori B stay in our home with Ferguson & Julie. I have no hesitation in describing her as highly reliable, responsible and conscientious. Pups loved her and it was a huge relief for us knowing she was there.”
“Chelsea was wonderful, we booked her last minute after a family member became ill and could not sit our dog, Kenzie. She stayed over night and sent pictures and updates. I felt very confident leaving our home and dog in her care. Will definitely use her again.”
“Desiree watched our fur fam for us over a long weekend. She went above and beyond what we asked in regards to care and walking! We got timely checkins, pics, and thoughtful updates. We will gladly use her services again in the future and highly recommend her if you’re looking for a genuine caregiver for your pets while you’re away.”
“Liz was more than a pleasure and helped us out a lot with staying home with our Archie boy. Liz followed our instructions to a tee, and was extremely attentive to our little man. We will definitely be using Liz again and Archie looks forward to hanging out with his new friend 🐶”
About: I have three years of pet-sitting experience caring for local families’ and friends’ pets, five pets of my own, a flexible schedule, and a genuine love for spending time playing with and caring for animals! Sunday–Wednesday: Fully available for pet care! Thursday–Saturday: I work from the early morning to the mid-to-late afternoon, with breaks for visits if your pet is local. I have two dogs, three cats, and a fenced-in backyard. I also have an entire floor to myself within the home, allowing me to separate pets safely if needed.
“Gabrielle did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs for an overnight visit. We have one very nervous little boy, an energetic “middle child,” and a slow, super-senior female. Pleased to say we came home to 3 happy dogs!”
About: I have had many dogs and cared for many others. It is a true labor of love for me and something I really love doing. I’m retired so my schedule is super flexible. Whatever your schedule I can probably accommodate it. Give me a try and let’s see if we can work it out. I love them but I don’t board dogs (sorry). Couldn’t negotiate that successfully with my wife. I do love spending time with them on walks or in your home.
“Sarah was amazing! I almost don’t want to give her such a good review because others will scoop her up, but she’s a keeper for sure. Smart and intuitive, she managed out household of critters with seeming ease and kept us regularly updated. So happy to have found her!”
About: FYI--Recently retired from the Federal Government. I did a Katrina mission to offer counseling to those who lost their homes. However, I was asked to volunteer in a pet shelter because the pets were abandoned due to the crisis at hand. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I figured I could do it, if I didn't look the pets straight in the eye (to prevent the heartbreak and the tears from flowing). Well, one little doggie who was in the corner of her pen shaking and shivering, grabbed ahold of my ankle as I was walking out of her pen (after cleaning it and feeding and watering her) and she wouldn't let go. She dragged her little butt along the concrete flooring as I tried to close the gate. I broke down into tears immediately and said "okay, I'll take you home with me and the cat in the pen next to you". Yes, I rescued them both... Or should I say they rescued me..from Empty Nest Syndrome. They have brought so much love into my life! My Mississippi Mud Pie (Boston Terrier) has now gone to Doggie Heaven and I want to provide love to other's pets in honor of her memory. My schedule has recently opened up more since retiring from the Federal Government, and I have a lot of time to devote to other's pets and animal care. When a dog is in my care, I provide very frequent walks and cater to your pet throughout the entire time they are with me. I like keeping animals happy and content. I provide a safe, trusting and caring environment. I am very nurturing and provide excellent care and attention. I am very attentive of animals needs.
About: I have always been a pet lover ever since I can remember! Growing up, my family has had golden retrievers, cocker spaniels, shih tzus, and my family now has a labradoodle, but I absolutely love all dogs! My sister has also had pet bunnies that are the cutest. I would love to have a dog right now, but at the moment I would love to help others with their pet sitting needs. Please reach out! I’m a high school teacher, so I’m currently looking to pet sit only at clients’ homes mainly on weekends or nights during the week! I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment by following each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. When I am caring for a pet at a client’s home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pet is happy and well cared for!
About: I have had many of jobs and I honestly prefer to work with animals. I provide the same high quality as I would expect from someone taking care of my animals. I prefer to make my own schedule. Working with animals if my life goal. Having a flexible schedule that I can decide when I am available is very important to me. Maintaining a clean environment and regular feeding is always top priority. I was told to do what you love growing up. So here I am doing what I enjoy
“Maria is the Best! She took excellent care of our 2 dogs as well as our house for 2 weeks & just did an outstanding job! She is an excellent communicator, calm, very caring & knowledgeable! Knowing Maria had everything under control allowed us to thoroughly enjoy our trip. Would definitely hire her again & have nothing but 5+++ stars recommendation for her. Thanks again Maria!!❤️”

About: Hi! I'm Lily, an experienced pet lover with a flexible schedule and a background in hospitality, customer service, and social media. After spending the past several months traveling, I'm back in Delaware and excited to spend my time caring for pets while helping owners feel completely at ease when they're away. I've cared for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to a familiar schedule, I'm happy to provide personalized care and attention. I’m flexible and able to work around your pet’s routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays when needed. I can also accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I provide reliable care, follow routines closely, and send regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'll treat your pet and home with the same care and respect as my own.
About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs, and have helped care for my family’s four legged friends for as long as I can remember. I’m no stranger to walking, feeding and cleaning up after dogs of all shapes and sizes. As a teenager, my neighbors and friends entrusted me to care for their pets. Whether they were going to be home from work late and needed someone to walk their dog or were going out of town for a weekend, I was there to help. No matter your dog’s age, size or energy level, I am confident I can provide the best possible care for them! I am currently working remotely so I am available to care for your pups at any hour of any day! From early mornings to late nights, I will be there. At home, I have a fenced in yard where my dogs are able to run and play free, but I also make sure they get plenty of leash walks around the neighborhood. Regardless of your home/ yard’s set up I can ensure your pup will get the best possible care.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, from cats and dogs to hamsters and everything in between! I’m a huge animal lover and will always go above and beyond to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pets will be treated like my own, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾 I am a stay at home wife and have open availability for your schedule and your fur babies schedule! I can work around your needs. I have three dogs, a snake and a tarantula. Growing up I've had multiple cats and had two of my own before they passed of old age. Everyday I am caring for animals. Going on walks, feeding and giving them water, so many cuddles, playtime and much pets and attention. I am very observant and able to tell when something is wrong.
About: I've been surrounded by many types of animals since I was a young child. I care for them, I know how to treat them accordingly, and I will always be compassionate and professional. I run as a business called Full Heart Aniaml & Home Services. I use Facebook as another platform for marketing and appointments where you can reach my Services there also. I have references upon references. I will treat every animal and home as if it were my own eating nothing but a full heart of happiness behind when I go
About: Taking care of animals brings me so much joy! I live at the beach and love walking dogs through my neighborhood to the beach. I am comfortable controlling big, strong dogs on walks. I grew up with 2 dogs and have always loved animals. My sister is a veterinarian and has taught me a lot. She is on call if your animal has any health issues. I’m in a career transition right now, so your business so greatly appreciated ❤️ I am a yoga instructor working part time, so I have a lot of time for your pets! My typical day is: wake up early, walk the dog I’m caring for, feed the pup, let out again, then teach yoga. I’m gone for about 3 hours then return home for a long walk with the pup :) then we relax at home as I typically work on my computer. Your pup will be the only dog in my house - he or she will have all my love and attention! I am happy to have your pet sleep in my bed and lay on my couch if they want! I love walking and have plenty of have time for long walks. I have training on how to safely handle reactive dogs on leash. I do not have a fully fenced in yard, but am happy to take your dog to the dog park if that would be helpful to release energy! The beach is also a short walk away :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wescoats Corner
Leonora gets five stars! She responded promptly to my communications, and was extremely easy to work with. She knows animals really well. I could tell things were going smoothly during my absence, because she sent me a picture of my dog and cat and I could tell they were both relaxed and happy. Will definitely use again if a sitter is needed.
Sarah was amazing! I almost don’t want to give her such a good review because others will scoop her up, but she’s a keeper for sure. Smart and intuitive, she managed out household of critters with seeming ease and kept us regularly updated. So happy to have found her!
On April 10, 2026, we used Rover for the first time and couldn't be happier that we found Mallorie. She was prompt, provided stellar communication and, most importantly, was super attentive to Barley and respectful of him and our home. We will book Mallorie again any time our schedules sync and highly recommend her.
Chana is a wonderful, kind young lady who is also extremely conscientious. It was her first time sitting with our pups, and while one of them can be a bit challenging Chana was able to win him over after a few days. She is also a very good communicator. We highly recommend Chana for any type of pet care.

The average cost of House Sitting in Wescoats Corner is $93 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $78 and $139 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wescoats Corner walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wescoats Corner maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wescoats Corner choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
