“If you’re looking for the best in Milton, DE, look no further. Jessica by far is the BEST!! I have a senior bichonpoo who is fussy and Jessica cared for him so well. I knew he was in good hands when I brought him to her house on the first day and he didn’t want to leave. I received pictures and he looked so happy and rested. Thank you for taking such excellent care of my special baby, well senior dog. Will be back when I go to Bethany Beach, DE again. Tiki misses you already! Jessica is such a lovely person too!!”
“Teresa was amazing! From our beginning communications pre-booking, throughout the stay, and pickup was nothing short of a stellar experience! Teresa is very accommodating to your/dogs personal needs. Teresa is very attentive during drop-off. Teresa sends you frequent pictures of your dogs during their stay which really goes a long way in helping you feel at ease while you are away. Teresa provides a very smooth pickup. Very gracious sitter, professional with tons of experience! Looking forward to my next worry-free booking with Teresa!”
“Jenny and her family were phenomenal watching my baby bully! She sent pictures of him happily playing every day and kept me in the loop of his schedule. As we both work thru separation anxiety, this was helpful and I was able to focus during my military orders. I can’t express my gratitude enough and Batman will definitely be back to visit!”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Kelly was great. This was Murphy’s first time staying with Kelly and he settled in very quickly. She sent lots of updates and photos which helped to know he was doing well in a new place. Kelly was very flexible and accommodating when we had to shift pick up and drop off times a bit. She offered to pick Murphy up and drop him off since we were so close. I definitely plan to use Kelly’s services again.”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and always grew up with a dog. Now that I have my own family we have two brachycephalic dogs of our own! I have been a dog foster parent who has dealt with dogs of all ages and for those in need of special care, including special needs, daily medications (topical & ingested), shots, and incontinence. I have a flexible schedule so it allows me to work around the needs of your animals care whether it be 2 pm or 2 am. I am a stay at home mom, who is fortunate enough to have a spouse who works from home which allows me ultra flexibility when it comes to your pets needs. Your pets will feel at home in our house. They will be allowed on our furniture and we allow snuggles at night in the bed. We have a great fenced in yard so they will be able to roam and play outdoors, along with a neighborhood that loves to see dogs on walks.
About: I have lived with/ taken care of various animals for as long as i can remember. I have experience with just about every type of animal such as dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, pigs/ livestock, hedgehogs, and rabbits. I've always been an animal lover and I guarantee I'll be your furbaby's new best friend. I am willing to adapt to any environment and provide the best service for your pet specifically. I love all breeds and I work well with them whether we're playing, training, walking, or relaxing. I have been told by many that I am somewhat of an "animal whisperer." I have a calming energy around animals and I know how to let them get to know me on their own terms and in their own way. I have more than enough patience and love for any situation.
“Susan and Bob are the greatest!!!! They were great communicators, took wonderful care of my puppy, sent adorable pictures and updates, and I knew my pup was in safe hands and having a fantastic time! I would use them again in a heartbeat!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.
About: If your furbaby desires love and affection then we are it! I have to small children ages 9yrs old that love animals just as much. Plenty of snuggles to give as well as walks and playtime 🐶 I am currently at home and have time to provide the attention and needs that your furbaby requires. During the day my kids will be in school but after school, if your little one loves attention, playtime or a lap to snuggle on; we have you covered. I have to cats, one afraid of her own shadow and will sneak in to visit once in a while where the other cat is just curious and wants a friend. Both friendly and loving.
“Mariah is fabulous with my girls. My girls feel like they’re at home and they have no transition behaviors when I pick them up. I would highly recommend Mariah for taking care of your pets. They will be very well taken care of. Thank you, Mariah for another great stay for my girls!”
“Let me start by saying we’ve never left our dogs overnight let alone with a total stranger. We left for 9 days and have 3 dogs and I was so nervous and had a thousand questions and accommodations I needed fulfilled. Samantha was absolutely incredible. If I could give 100 stars I would. My dogs were so loved and cared for the entire time they were in her care. The pictures I got each day were just filled with joy in each of my dogs faces. If I could afford to send them there for playtime everyday I definitely would!!! Two of my dogs had stomach issues on the 5th day or so and she made them chicken and rice and pumpkin for their meals until they felt better. She trimmed their nails. She washed their bedding. I mean what more could you ask for?! Do not hesitate in sending your animals with her. She is the best of the best! I will be sending my dogs to her house anytime we go out of town… worry free!!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages growing up. I started solo caring for our pets 10 years ago. I have a special interest in animals, so this job is a 2 in one for me. My over night availability ranges from 10pm - 5am every day of the week depending on commuting distances. My Day time availability changes based on my full time job scheduling. I believe slip leads and or harnesses are essential for keeping your pet as safe as possible while handling. I have a good understanding of crate training.
“We were nervous to drop our 12 yr old dog with a sitter, but Kate eased our minds immediately by sending us frequent photos and updates over the 4 days we were away. We will definitely use Kate’s services again!!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life....all ages and sizes! It's important to me that they feel safe and comfortable in my home. I work Part Time, and I am available for boarding Thursday- Sunday. My schedule is flexible and I can usually adjust to your scheduling needs. I have a fully fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own, for your pup to play with. I also have plenty of room for all crate sizes, if that is preferred.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woods Haven
10/10 recommend booking Yinali to care for your dog! She was such a joy to work with, from our initial communication on Rover, to the meet-and-greet, to all the thoughtful updates while our dog was staying with her and her husband. Our dog has special needs and uses a wheelchair, which can understandably make some sitters hesitant (and makes it hard for us to find him trustworthy care), but Yinali was incredibly accommodating and attentive to his needs. I knew right away that he was in great hands, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would 100% book with Yinali again!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Woods Haven can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Woods Haven home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Woods Haven.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woods Haven. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Woods Haven sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in DE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
