“Jennifer was wonderful. We were on vacation and needed someone to watch our boys (one elderly and one high-energy) while we went out to dinner. They were both immediately at ease with Jennifer - which allowed us to enjoy our night and not worry about them. Next time we’re in town, we’ll contact her again for sure.”
About: II have loved and cared for pets my entire life and truly enjoy the companionship of animals. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I’m a mom of three and have over 30 years of experience working as a Medical Assistant, so I’m responsible, dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for others. I treat every pet in my care like they are part of my own family. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks and visits, as well as overnight pet sitting when needed. Whether your pet needs a walk, some companionship, meals and medication reminders, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I do work for a local hospital but I get up early and stay up late. I am free on weekends. I can accommodate to most needs. I personally have a dog, 3 cats and my kids have geckos. They are all spoiled rotten. I have been a huge animal lover my entire life. I can pretty much cater to most services especially having a medical background if your pet has health concerns.
“Gina is AMAZING!!! Feli loves her which is the best testament of Gina’s talents. Whenever I return home my house is exactly how I left it, and my pup is happy, healthy and her typical peaceful self. So grateful we are blessed with some a magnificent pet sitter. Thank you, Gina!”
“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 🐶”
“Jasmine was fantastic with our two boys! She was very responsive and arrived on time. She provided helpful updates throughout the day, which we truly appreciated. We also appreciate her time and attention she gave to our 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.
“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: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes pets deserve their own little staycation while you’re away! Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, some backyard playtime, belly rubs on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine — meals, walks, medications, playtime, and all the extra snuggles they’ll allow. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for and getting lots of love while you’re gone. 🐾 My schedule is flexible as my husband is a business owner and I work part-time for him, which gives me plenty of time to work pet care into my day. I’m happy to plan visits, walks, feeding times, and check-ins around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need occasional help, vacation coverage, or regular visits, I’ll do my best to make things easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, doors or gates, and anything else that helps your pet feel secure. I’m also very respectful of your home and belongings and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it. 🐾
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.
“Blair was awesome! Took excellent care of our boys, followed our crazy instructions and even sent pics and videos the entire time. I would highly recommend her, but we don't want her stolen from us! :)”

About: Hey there new friend! I’m Erin, 30 years young, super fun personality, hardworking and dependable, I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds, shapes, sizes and colors my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup as if they were apart of my family; I take any (and all) opportunities to give them lovin’s, belly rubs, snuggles and i absolutely love to go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times with the more stubborn ones…but a little of my charm, and they seem to warm up to me quite nicely..I have yet to prove them wrong. I will be sure to love on your pooch with everything I have! A a fellow dog owner all my life, I know the best ways to make a furry friend feel happy and content. I’d take great care of them and give them my undivided attention if need be. I have a rescue and if I’m not working, she and I are out adventuring somewhere, dogs (and other animals) are the best! I’ve had animals of all shapes and sizes, from tiny rabbits to a giant 75 pound rescue dog that thought he was a lap dog. I’m starting school on the road to become a Veterinary Technician, and one day I hope to have my own business where all animals can come and be taken great care of and loved, tail wags included. Thank you for the time. -Erin. Now that the summer season has ended, I’m not working as much as I have been which opens up my schedule to be 10000% available and able to take care of the sweetest pups! I have my own vehicle so i don’t have any issues with transportation and am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, loyal and flexible. I love having the opportunity through rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Feel free to bring their favourite toys or they can absolutely pick from my giant basket of toys and treats. I have an 1100 sqft rancher style home with hardwood floors (accidents happen and that’s not at all a problem!), and I have a back yard for leash walks and fresh air, and love going on walks around my quaint little neighborhood. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Rehoboth
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Rehoboth is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $61 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 274 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Rehoboth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 West Rehoboth 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 West Rehoboth 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 West Rehoboth 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.

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.
