“Lyndi has gone above and beyond in her care of my kitties. She is reliable and a great communicator. It is a great comfort to know my pets are in good hands while I’m away. Will definitely be booking again in the future.”

“Jill is our very favorite of all our dog sitters! Aurora and Blaze are always calm and happy when I get home at the end of the day. Jill leaves the house clean, sometimes cleaner than I left it! She always sends great updates. 100% recommend Jill.”

“Does a great job with Xerxes making sure he’s able to get some playing time and use the bathroom! Eases my mind knowing they’re able to stop by and check on him!”

“Thank you so much, Christina, for taking such good care of Leia during these past few days. We really appreciated all the updates and photos you sent us they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Leia is doing great, and we are very grateful for your help. We will definitely reach out to you again in the future if we need pet sitting services.”

“Andrea was absolutely amazing watching my pets! She is super attentive to detail and very punctual. This is my first time using Rover and of course that can be scary leaving your pets in the care of someone you don’t know. But she did GREAT! I will absolutely use her again! My animals loved her and I felt extremely comfortable with her caring for them.”

About: I love being active and playing so your pet will get enough active play time. I used to have five dogs of different breeds of my own that I cared for in a previous relationship. I care for other pets of all breeds and sizes as if they were my own. I give treats/rewards for good behavior. I don’t mind getting down on the ground with them playing or just relaxing with them. Either way is fine with me. Your pet has an individual personality just like a human. I will be happy to send you pictures of updates on your amazing pet. I’m sure they’ll have a great time with me. My dream dog is a German Shepherd. I am currently available weekdays Monday-Friday all day long. So I have a pretty open schedule as of right now. I appreciate all of you! Thank you for booking with me! I keep pets on a routine schedule so they know what to expect and when to expect it. Staying active with walking, playing, or even just watching tv with them is all fun to me. Pets love rest and cuddles too :)

“Takes great care of my dog, responds quickly and very reliable.”

“We’re so happy to have found Skylar to look after our 2 dogs while we’re away and knowing that they are in safe hands. Skylar has been super patient with me while my plans have changed and has been very responsive and answered all of my questions very quick. We can’t wait to book Skylar again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around pets. I’m responsible, patient and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and specific quirks. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student and I’m not working currently, so I have a really flexible schedule. I also have a light class load this semester, which gives me plenty of free time throughout the week. Because of that, I’m able to be flexible with different pet schedules and spend plenty of time with them instead of just rushing in and out. I am able to work around your pet’s routine, whether they need a walk, playtime, to be fed, or just someone to hang out with. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of animals, and I always want to make sure I know your pet and their routine before you leave. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, watching them at my home for the day, house sitting at your home, etc. I pay close attention to things like feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, doors and gates, and any little details that are important to you. I will do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable and safe while you’re away! Just a heads-up, I do have a cat at home, so any pets staying at my house would need to be comfortable around cats.

“Thank you so much Sophie! It looks like Mozzie had so much fun with you! Thanks for being so easy to work with and taking such good care of our pupper!”

About: I am a lifelong pet lover who has been pet sitting cats, dogs, and fish for neighbors, family, and friends from a young age. I have experience caring for adult and senior dogs as well as kittens-senior cats, and I have extensive experience administering topical and oral (both liquid and tablet) medications. I prioritize fostering a safe, calm, and consistent environment for pets, ensure they receive lots of enrichment and attentive care, and strive to stick as closely to their normal routine as possible. I believe our pets are our family, and always make sure to care for all pets as if they are my own. I work a flexible hybrid schedule that allows me to set my own hours and work remotely as needed. Thanks to this flexibility, I am able to adjust my daily schedule to fit the needs of any pet's routine. I have found that many pets tend to be most comfortable being cared for within their own homes. I prioritize adhering to their normal routines and environments as much as possible. I treat all homes I spend time in with care and respect. I'm always happy to water plants and tend to additional home care needs, and always make sure to leave spaces tidy and clean.

“Cortnee was an awesome dog sitter! I have a hard time trusting people with my pup but she was great! She was so kind and patient with my dog. She was also great at communicating with me and sending pictures!! 100% would recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I'm a former veterinary technician who spent years working hands-on with animals. While I loved the work, the field could be a bit emotionally heavy at times—so I decided to step back and find a happier, more balanced way to stay close to the animals I adore. That’s what brought me to dog walking and drop-in visits! I truly enjoy long walks and runs with my own dogs, so if you have an active pup who needs a good workout, I’ve got you covered. I share my home with two big dogs and two cats, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. All of my animals have special diets and unique needs, so I’m extra careful and experienced when it comes to following feeding instructions, administering medications, or keeping routines just right. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly how I see them. I'm an aspiring actress and also work as a bartender, which gives me a flexible schedule. I typically work Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7 PM to close, and Fridays and Saturdays from 12 PM to 7 PM. While I have other commitments throughout the week, I’m great at managing my time and can usually adjust my schedule to make room when needed. I take the care of animals very seriously—both in my home and in my clients’ homes. My own pets have taught me how important it is to be attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I have two big dogs and two cats, all of whom have special needs. One of my dogs only has three legs and has been through extensive rehabilitation and medical care, so I’m very familiar with mobility issues, post-op routines, and the importance of adapting exercise to the animal’s capabilities. All four of my pets are on different prescription diets and medications, so I’m experienced in administering meds properly, sticking to feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior changes. Whether I’m caring for animals in my own home or visiting yours, I bring that same level of attentiveness and compassion. Every pet is unique, and I always take the time to understand and follow their specific needs and routines to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: Hello! I have been dog sitting on Rover for several years now and I absolutely love it. Some facts about me are that I’m active in my church, love exploring, being in nature, and drinking coffee with friends! I grew up owning dogs and I love them! I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and staying overnight and taking them on walks. I am a timely person who will be careful to remember your specific needs and instructions in taking care of your dog. I have experience in staying alert around other dogs and either making sure they will get along before approaching or crossing the street. I’m happy to take your dog for walks and potty breaks throughout the day, and most of all give your dog lots of love, cuddles and good company! I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you and your dog(s)! My work schedule is flexible and I’m not usually gone for longer than 3 to 4 hours. If you have any questions or requests, don’t hesitate to ask! I will care for your pets by giving them lots of pets and taking them on walks. I will be attentive to your pets needs and do everything in a timely manner because I care about caring for your pet! I will also send pictures and updates 2x a day.

About: My neighbors know me for my love of all animals and walking my dog! I am looking forward to meeting all of your pets soon! I am currently a full time nursing student. Walking dogs is a great way to take a break and my exercise in while doing something that I love. In my client’s home, I believe in respecting the space and doing my job well. Of course, if there is a puppy mess, I will be on it to clean it up right away.

“Absolutely wonderful. My two dogs love her. Sydney was great at communicating. Would definitely recommend and hire her again!”

About: I love that I have gotten to grow up with dogs! I am the go to person among my friends & family to walk & dog sit. I currently work from home as a school speech-language pathologist. I am available to care for your dog during lunch breaks, between speech therapy sessions, and after school. I have a fenced in backyard. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so your dog will receive all my care and attention. I also live in a very walkable, dog friendly neighborhood!

About: I had two rambunctious but precious dogs growing up, so I'm not put off by a tough exterior. I know a mean bark does not equal a mean soul. I have experience dogsitting/cat sitting for clients, friends and professors, and most recently I've been volunteering at Addie Catz Sanctuary, so I'm well accustomed to cleaning messes, navigating reactive animals, and loving on pets. I'm more than happy to answer any questions :) I currently have classes from 9am-1pm Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and from 9am-12pm, then 3pm-5pm Tuesday/Thursday (so I can check on pets in between those classes). I love to do early morning walks to make up for time I can't be with them during the day! I'll be asking a lot of questions to ensure my care is tailored to your pet's needs, and to build your trust in my capabilities. I'm more than happy to learn the kennels, feeding systems, and "flow" of animal care in your own home to avoid the unnecessary stress and change for pets that comes with boarding.

“So great. Always sends photos. Thank you!”

About: I’m a mother of two daughters and a grandmother of one grandson and I have my own Pomeranian though I don’t bring her to other pet sits. I’ve been around animals all my life having been raised on a farm for part of my adolescence. Animals feel comfortable around me. I’m new to the area and I’m looking to help out those in the area by doing something fun that I enjoy well providing some financial abundance for myself during my settling down in Wilmington. I’m an energy, healer, spiritual guide and Empowerment Coach Looking to help you help me in return :-) I won’t be caring for any dogs in my home, but I am more than happy to go to yours where I’m sure your pets would be most comfortable at while I care for them.
