“Rita took great care of Toby. She checked in with us and sent pictures and videos. Normally, Toby is restless and paces and seems anxious when he comes home from staying. He was very chill and seemed just like normal when he came home from Rita's. We were very happy about that. We'll be taking Toby back to Rita's.”
“We were very happy with Nick taking care of Molly. She unexpectedly needed to take medication during her stay with Nick and he seemed to have no problem with that. He kept us updated and provided pictures. We will probably use Nick again in the near future!”
“Yuliia did an stellar job taking care of our little cat Zelda. We got daily pictures, where we could see our little cat very comfortable at her place, enjoying every day there. It was reassuring seeing her have such a good time, and we will definitely be requesting Yuliia to take care of Zelda if we need it again.”
“Marissa was fantastic with my dog! She took her on multiple walks and even to a dog park. I loved receiving pictures of all their fun adventures and cozy snuggles on the couch. Honestly, I was a little worried my dog might not want to come back home with us! 😂”
“Jordan was GREAT with our labradoodle, Lucy. Provided daily updates and was great with communication. Lucy was happy and comfortable the entire time we were away. You couldn’t ask for more! We will definitely book with Jordan again!”
“Steffani & Joshua were amazing, and went far and beyond to care for Barley, our 7yo hound x beagle mix dog. They send us daily updates, pictures and little cute videos, which was supper nice and helped us to relax while our fur baby Barley was away. They are a really cool family and were really flexible and accommodating with Barley, going for walks, playing in the backyard and with Levy and following Barley’s routine. It was xmas and they even gave Barley a cute toy. This was our first time as we just moved to Wilmington, and we were a bit nervous about Barley staying for a long stay, but we are so glad we found Steffani Joshua & Levy! We for sure will be staying again in the near future.”
“Lydia was wonderful. This is the first time I’ve ever had someone other than family or friends watch my doggy, and Lydia sensed my nervousness. But she took tons of pictures, gave me regular updates, and took good care of my little pup. I would definitely recommend and hire her again.”
“Carrie and John were wonderful and took great care of Yoshi in their lovely home. Stellar communication, reliable and flexible, everything you could ask for. I’m so grateful I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was having as nice a time as we were!”
“I was nervous to leave my puppy for the first time but Bronwen had not one but two meet ups to ease the process and while I was away sent me tons of updates and even a video! She took excellent care of my baby and I will not hesitate to take him back to her when needed.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Aaron took such great care of Rufus while we were away. He kept us updated with lots of photos and great communication throughout the week. We really appreciated the extra attention to his comfort and well-being. Rufus clearly loved his stay and honestly didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend!”
“Our pup, Hudson stayed with Olivia for a week. She communicated with us throughout Hudson’s stay and sent us lots of pictures of him playing. We could not be happier with her! Will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
About: Hi I’m Jess! I’ve previously worked for petsmart and have owned pets all of my life! I’ve got experience as a bird owner for over 20 years with multiple types of birds. I have been a sitter for dogs of all sizes including a coon hound, pit mix, corgi, and a golden doodle. I’ve even made homemade dog food when necessary! I have also been a sitter for cats! I’m willing to get my hands dirty and am used to cleaning up for and bathing dogs in my home as well! I love the outdoors and walking dogs, so your dog will get plenty of outside time. There is a state park close to my home that I frequent. If you have other animals in your home like Guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, lizards, etc I can care for them too with my knowledge from working at Petsmart. Helping me will be my significant other who currently works for petsmart also. I’m an animal lover at heart and will take great care of your pet as if it were my own! I’m home 24/7 to care for your pet, with a very flexible open schedule. I have nothing but lots of time to devote to your pet. I have a safe apartment complex with other leashed dogs that are all friendly surrounding me. My home is smoke free and we don’t use aerosols or candles due to owning birds. Our birds are kept separate from your animals and your pet will be supervised and played with and let out for potty breaks and walks every hour or two.
About: I have been dogsitting for about 4 years now, having experience with dogs big and small, old and young. I care deeply about your pet’s wellbeing and having fun along the way. I am available for pet care at the moment, I do work a part time job as well. I am also pregnant. I can do drop ins or walks during the daytime depending on my schedule. Boarding will need a consultation. I make sure to stick to appropriate feeding times as well as make sure your pet is walked and played with regularly. I offer the best cuddles and treats as well as I enjoy getting to know your pet throughout our time together. I live in an apartment so I don’t have a private backyard, but we do have lots of communal green space.
“Joseph kept us updated on how our dog was doing while we were away with tons of adorable photos and videos, making it clear he was having a blast. We could tell our pup was getting all the exercise he needed, thanks to Joseph's commitment to regular walks and playtime at the dog park. It was such a relief knowing our dog was in great hands!”
“Alberta was amazing with our senior dog! She sent pictures and updates and has excellent communication. I could tell she paid close attention to our dogs moods and needs during her stay. I really appreciate Alberta and highly recommend her!”
“Jenning was communicative, responsible, and sent regular updates (including the cutest photos). I came home to a happy, calm pup who had clearly been well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jenning again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter!”

“Rover could not find a better pet sitter in Jessica! She has an absolute love of all animals. She has dogs and cats of her own and fosters others and has tons of parrots, parakeets and other birds. She will take excellent care of any and all of your pets and good care of your home too. She watches my three cats and keeps them well fed, played with and cared for when we are away. We had a leak from our whole house water system and she had to deal with the clean up of that while we vacationed across the country. She is trustworthy, honest, reliable and a real gem.”

Gwinhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
Maurisa is the best dog boarding in the area. She’s kind and loving and sends lots of pictures and clearly loves and adores the pups while we take a vacation. This is the second time we’ve had the pleasure of getting her to board our two chihuahuas, and I recommend her if you’ve got precious fur babies. I especially appreciate that she used our dogs special vest that he needs to feel better when it thunders. Thanks Maurisa!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First-Time Rover Experience – So Grateful for Leah! This was my first time using Rover, and I was initially a little apprehensive since my dogs have only ever been boarded at a facility. But after our meet and greet with Leah, I immediately felt at ease. She was warm, professional, and clearly an animal lover. While I was away, Leah sent me daily updates and pictures, which meant so much. My dogs looked happy, relaxed, and completely at home. It was clear they were comfortable and enjoying themselves, and it gave me such peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care and attention Leah gave them—it felt like they were part of her family. I will absolutely be booking with her again the next time I need boarding. Highly recommend!
Kimberly and her husband are such wonderful people. I was so reassured when I left my dog there during my move. They were always fast to respond to any of my questions and willing to help when travel plans were delayed. I would absolutely trust Kimberly with my dogs in the future.
Chris was wonderful with my 5 year old French bulldog. I was very hesitant initially to use rover as my dog is very needy and high energy. He would usually go to doggy daycare while we are away to keep him occupied. However, a recent back injury prevented him from going. I hired Chris with very short notice. She took exceptional care of my dog, sent lots of photos and updates while we were away. She even went out of her way to make arrangements to stay an additional day when our flight home was canceled. It was wonderful and reassuring knowing that my dog was getting such great care and attention while we were gone. I would rehire Chris to watch my dog again in a heartbeat!
We have used Bronwen many times to watch our small dog. Trixie runs out of the car to go see Bronwen on arrival and never looks back because she enjoys her time there so much. Bronwen lets her out in the yard, throws the ball for her, feeds her consistently, and has the perfect dog friendly house with lots of toys and windows to watch outside. She comes home tired but not exhausted. We highly recommend Bronwen.
