“Meghan and her family are fantastic dog sitters! They provided excellent care, kept us updated with photos, and our dog was clearly happy and well-looked-after. Highly recommend for anyone seeking reliable and loving pet care. Will definitely be leaving our dog with them in the future. Best thing was our puppy was in a fenced yard and around children. Thank you Meghan!”


“Amazing sitter! We were in town for a long weekend and the pups got their own mini vacation with Jenn. She sent updates, was timely, easy to communicate with, and was so accommodating to our two pups needs. Highly recommended!!!”



“Jennifer & Martyn provided a wonderful introduction to dog care for me! Kingsley thoroughly enjoyed his stay as Jennifer & Martyn are warm and caring with the perfect space for dogs! All my questions were answered and they made it easy to head off on a carefree overnight. Will use again and highly recommend!”


“Maggie was awesome! I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with them. They sent pictures and videos during my trip. Would absolutely recommend! I’ll be rebooking in the future!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years, starting back in California where I regularly walked and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and feedings to overnight boarding and weekend stays. Whether it’s a relaxing stroll, a trip to the dog park, a hike, or a good bath after playtime, I make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always aim to match their energy and needs; whether that means a lot of activity or lots of snuggles! I work weekdays from 6am to 2pm and am usually home by 3pm. I’m available for boarding after 3pm on weekdays and any time on weekends. During the week, your pup will still get plenty of love, attention, and walks once I’m home. Weekend stays are even more flexible—I’m fully available for walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day! I live in a clean, comfortable 2-bedroom apartment with access to two dog parks right in my community, which makes potty breaks and playtime super convenient. I’m also happy to drive to nearby trails and parks so your pup can enjoy more space to run, explore, and get their energy out. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Keeping routines consistent, giving lots of affection, and making sure they feel secure and loved.

“Crystal and her family were fantastic! They sent frequent updates and photos, were flexible to my dog Vera’s needs, and welcomed her so warmly. I had peace of mind the moment I met them. They are such a nice family, and I will definitely have them take Vera again. Thank you!!”


“Emily didn’t just care for our dog Daisy, she loved her as if she were her own. I felt 100% comfortable leaving Daisy in Emily‘s capable hands, and was so grateful that she was willing to meet us ahead of time, cover all questions, and communicate regularly with us throughout our trip. Any dog would be lucky to stay with her.”


About: Over my years I have loved many a dog, most recently our beloved Teddybear. Training and love was my passion and providing smiles during eldercare visits. A well trained dog is a loved and happy dog. Lets chat on how I can give you the peace of mind while you are away! I have recently retired and would love to provide your furbaby the love and attention it deserves. Fur parents need a break too, so let me assist you with providing you some peace of mind I have a fenced and gated small backyard where business can be done, and a soft lap for cuddles and a recliner to share while we binge watch our shows
“Angela took such great care of our littles while we were out of town. She gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in the best of hands sending so many pictures and updates throughout their stay with her & her family! Highly recommend.”


About: Hi! My name is Alexis, and I am a veterinarian with a specialty in internal medicine. I recently finished my residency in Florida and have a couple of months free before I start my job here. I understand how stressful it can be leaving town or even for work during the day while your pets are at home. Let me ease some of that stress for you! My schedule is currently very open, so I can be flexible to your needs! I will keep my calendar updated for the times I will be out of town. I have a small fenced in yard and a larger non-fenced front yard. I have plenty of space to feed dogs away from each other if needed and for them to get some space from each other.

“Obi was at another rover, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving him there so I looked for a sitter last minute. They responded immediately and took a weight off my shoulders. I appreciate them being in constant communication and very understanding of my situation. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for sitters in the Wilmington area.”


“What a great experience! It was my first time leaving Ryker with someone I hadn't met before being in a new area. Kaylah and her family were just fantastic! She sent me an update at the end of each day with pictures and I could tell Ryker was having a blast. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!”


“Ashley, Jon, and the kids were AMAZING!!! Roman is a sneaky girl who likes to get into stuff and they took my warning serious unlike other sitters I've used in the past. I got lots of pictures and my babies had a great time. Will 100% be using then again <3”


“What a fantastic find! Johnathan was amazing and my dogs seemed very well taken care of. We will definitely be using Johnathan again! Thank you so much for doing such a great job.”


“I can't recommend Robert and his family highly enough! From the moment I met them, I knew Bodie would be in excellent hands. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and welcomed during my absence. They were attentive to Bodie's needs and even worked on commands. When I returned, Bodie was happy and relaxed. He had a great time playing in the fenced-in garden with other dogs. If you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy Robert is your guy!”


About: I have many years experience taking care of puppies to senior dogs. I have raised and trained my own dog from 8 weeks to 9 years old! I see dogs as part of the family and will treat your dog with all the love and care that I do my own! I work from home so I am able to be home with your pet without having to leave for 8+ hours at a time. I love going for jogs or walks and am happy to bring your pup along! I have a fenced yard and a pup of my own to keep your dog company! He loves running around to play outside and would love to have a buddy to play with!

“Rebecca and Pippa were great with my pup Harlow! She felt comfortable as soon as she met both of them. Rebecca was wonderful about being flexible with our changing travel plans and was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Rebecca and Pippa! :)”


“Victoria took such good care of our cat Clover while we were abroad for our wedding/honeymoon. Clover stayed with Victoria for a full 2 weeks, and Victoria was very responsive with updating us with messages and pictures of our girls happy stay. I highly recommend Victoria for all of your feline needs! We will be seeking out her services in the future!”
