“Nathan & Meredith are amazing! From arranging meet & greet, communications through app, and the thoughtful notes after every walk, they are really caring to your pets. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”
About: Hello! My name is Hope. Although I have been taking care of animals all my life, my experience really began almost four years ago, when I started taking animal/veterinary science classes in high school. Since then, I have taken care of hundreds of dogs, cats, exotics, and barn animals through my experience in school and working for a boarding facility. These animals include pets of many different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. These pets also include ones with special needs and/or medication. I have a veterinary assistant certification from the AVMA, and am studying veterinary technology in college. This past year, I have worked with hundreds of dogs and cats, and have gotten to see now more than ever the unique personalities that shine through every animal! I love animals, and every animal I care for feels like my own. I'm a part-time worker who is taking a semester off from college, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I'm available for pet care anytime, any day, with occasional exceptions. In my past four years of animal care, I have learned that attention to detail is extremely important when it comes to safety. I do everything in my power to never miss a health concern. To put your mind at ease, I will always be ready to give updates and photos so you can see how your furbaby is doing. When looking after your pet, I want to be sure that they are as comfortable as they possibly can be. I make it a goal to provide extra love and enrichment, so that their time away from you is stress-free.
“Elise was fantastic with Jackie on all of her walks! And communication was perfect! Elise will be called back to help out when ever possible! Jackie also seemed to like her very much!”
“Max is awesome! She is sweet with my doggy, she leaves messages every time she walks him to update me and takes lots of pictures. She has also befriended my shy cats! Thankful to have her take care of my babies;)”
“Emily was great. I needed last minute accomodations for my dogs and she was able to asaist. My fur babies liked her. She sent plenty of pics. On one of the walks she explained they did not stay out too long because it was very hot outside. I will definitley use her again.”
“My two dogs had a great time with John. My neighbor saw him walking the dogs and was impressed with his enthusiasm and care. I agree. Thanks John for helping me out. I will definitely try to book John again the next time.”

About: Hi my name is Rachel i’m 21 years old looking for pet owners who need pet assistance. I’m currently studying business at del tech community college and i’m a third year. I have babysat dogs and cats before and overnight sat as well. I enjoy being around animals they make me happy. I also own a doggie named Teddy of my own he’s 6 years old and he’s a shitzu. Caring for a pet requires consistency, time management, and attention to their physical and emotional needs. Depending on the type of pet, daily tasks may include feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, grooming, cleaning living spaces, and monitoring health and behavior. I walk my dog Teddy, a shitzu everyday twice and he doesn’t have an open yard. Caring for pets at a clients home depend on the space and environment.
About: I've always had family pets that I have taken care of for as far back as I can remember. I also already cat and dog sit regularly for friends and family members. One of the cats I take care of requires medication twice daily so I have no problem giving your animal medication if necessary. Im also well aware that animals needs love and affection just like us humans do so you can be sure to know that your animal is well loved when you're not around to give it to them !! I currently work full time at Christiana Hospital. My schedule is rotating and not the same every day but I would be sure to provide you with a schedule of when I would be taking care of your animal each day! Whatever needs or wants you have for your fur baby I will do for you. I can walk, feed, bathe, play and love on them! If your dog is good with other dogs, I would love to take them to the dog park!
About: I love both cats and dogs and they love me! I’ve gotten along with every kitty and doggie that I’ve met to date! I have childhood cat care experience as well as experience taking care of my college roommate’s mini Australian shepherd. I’m adaptable, intutitive, and reliable. You can trust me to make your doggie or kitty happy😸🐶! I’m available everyday of the week unless otherwise noted by me. For the most part, I will be able to pet sit with little schedule conflicts. Unless I am boarding, my day will end at 6pm. I have a fenced yard if your pet would like some outside time. My home is spacious so there will be a lot of room to stretch and walk around. My family loves animals so your pets will be in a welcome and loving space.
About: I have had 5 dogs ranging in needs, size, and age (lab, chow chow, dachshund, blue heeler, and corgi). I have provided care to my own pets as well as family, friends, and neighbors for my entire life. I frequently volunteer at the SPCA where I take various dogs on walks and take care of them outside the shelter for a full day. I absolutely love all animals, especially dogs. I am dedicated to meeting all dogs different needs, providing undivided attention to all animals. I am open to provided any needed services and am fairly flexible. I am a current student at West Chester University so my schedule may vary by week (I will update my availability weekly!). I have a lot of free time that allows me to have unlimited time to take care of and love your furry friends!! I currently have 3 dogs, a bird, and a cat. One of my dogs is old (11 years old) so I am used to the medicine and senior routine that he requires. I feed all 3 of my dogs, take them on walks daily, and provide them with the upmost care and love.
Wood Mill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nathan has been routinely walking our two small dogs during the work week for a couple of months now and they absolutely love him! We can tell he truly cares about our dogs. He has been very dependable and sends a detailed Rover card every time. I would recommend booking with Nathan!
Maria was great! She was able to help me out last minute. It was literally less than an hour from the time i reached out to her to the time she came for the keys. She sent updates and even made sure to tell my that one if my dogs had not had a bowel movement. I appreciate the attention to detail, especially considering that particular dog is currently on medication for an unrelated issue.
Emily was great. I needed last minute accomodations for my dogs and she was able to asaist. My fur babies liked her. She sent plenty of pics. On one of the walks she explained they did not stay out too long because it was very hot outside. I will definitley use her again.
