“Kim took care of my 2 cats while I was away for the weekend and I could not ask for a more pleasant experience! She is great at communicating and took great care of my kitties! I will not hesitate to ask her to pet sit them again :)”
“Kristin did a such a great job with our cats! She made us feel so much better about having to leave them for a trip. She’s very communicative and reliable, I highly recommend her.”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with our puppies!! She gave us so many updates and pictures the whole time she watched them which made us feel so much more at ease. We’re very new to the area and our pups have only ever stayed with family or friends, and they warmed up to her and loved her right away! Your fur babies will be lucky to be in her care!”
About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.
“Ashley was able to come out and watch my pups despite the last minute request. Her photos showed me that they were happy and well taken care of, will absolutely rebook when the need arises.”

About: I've had furry family in my life for as long as I can remember. From having my own pups to watching pets for friends and family, I love all animals and it would be my pleasure to love yours. My schedule is currently open for whatever you and your pet needs. Let me know your pet's schedule and I will be happy to accommodate. It is my pleasure to spend time with your pet/pets. Great care is taken to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and happy.
“Her credentials are what drew me to her and from day one (the meet and greet) I knew she’d be the one. Loki my male cat doesn’t warm up to anyone for at least a week of them coming around and he went right to her. He could sense her kind soul. I have never hired a pet sitter before this but I will definitely hire Taryn again. She went above and beyond. I had to have major surgery and was in the hospital for 7 days and it was comforting to know that my cats Stella and Loki were in terrific loving hands. Love Love Love her!!!”
About: I am a 23 year old animal lover servicing the Wilmington area. I have had animals from a very young age and have experience with bunnies, cats, dogs, fish, and small animals. I am very new to the Wilmington area and still in between jobs right now so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment until I find something more stable. I take pride in caring for animals through my entire life. I have had my own animals since the day I was born, and often watch family friends and neighbors animals. I have lots of experience when it comes to animals as I have a large number of pets myself.
About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience—both in clients’ homes and in my own—I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also have hands-on experience with dog walking and truly enjoy getting to know each pup’s unique needs and quirks. My love for dogs started with my childhood cocker spaniel, who lived a happy 14 years and taught me just how deep the bond between human and dog can be. Since then, caring for dogs has never just been a job—it’s something I genuinely love. What sets me apart is my focus on your dog’s comfort. Whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just quiet snuggles on the couch, I tailor each visit to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m an early riser and a night owl, so I have lots of time each day to give your pup the attention they need—whether that’s walks, playtime, or couch snuggles. We also have a sweet, friendly dog Kenzie, who absolutely loves other dogs. She’s very well-socialized and would be a great companion for your pup during their stay. Kenzie is the only dog in our home, so she’s always excited to have a new buddy to hang out with! She’s super friendly and loves having a playmate around to keep her company. I offer boarding Friday through Sunday, and I'm available for pet sitting and dog walking any day of the week. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! In our home, your pup will be treated like one of our own—basically, like a spoiled baby with paws! We’re all about love, belly rubs, and making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and totally at home. At our home, we have space for a crate if needed and offer a cozy, calm environment. We’re lucky to have access to a large, fully fenced-in dog park right on our property that features agility equipment, shaded areas, and 24/7 water access—perfect for playtime and exercise! Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, structured outdoor time, or sticking to a feeding and potty schedule, we tailor our care to meet each dog’s needs and personality.
About: I grew up in a home with both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. When I was six years old, my parents gifted me a kitten named Sophia. She became my best friend and lived to be 20 years old before recently passing away from chronic kidney disease (CKD). Caring for Sophia throughout her life taught me a lot abt what cats need to thrive, including administering subcutaneous fluids and supporting a senior pet with medical needs. I also volunteer with a local cat rescue, where I spend time caring for cats and learning about their unique personalities and needs. Since Sophia’s passing, I’ve realized how much I miss having animals in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to share that love and care with other people’s pets while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. I’m currently working full time but available everyday after 3:00. With the schedule I have, it allows me to still devote time to caring for your fur babies! I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your pet so that you can enjoy your time away from home without anxiety!
About: I know how much it means to have someone you trust caring for your dog. I’ll take the time to get to know your pup, follow their routine, and help them feel comfortable with me. Whether they love an energetic walk or a leisurely stroll with plenty of sniffing, I’m happy to go at their pace. You can count on thoughtful care, plenty of attention, and updates so you know how your pup is doing! I’m self-employed, which gives me flexibility to fit dog walks and visits into my week. I’ll work with you to find times that fit your pup’s routine and only accept bookings when I can give them the time and attention they deserve. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and take the time to help them feel comfortable with me. On walks, I’ll keep them securely leashed, be mindful of the weather, and avoid unfamiliar dogs unless we’ve discussed it beforehand. I’ll respect your home, double-check that doors are secure, and send updates so you know how your pup is doing. Their safety and your peace of mind matter to me.
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, so size and breed don’t matter to me! I’ve been Petsitting since I was 12. I’m experienced in dog walking, cat sitting, play dates, and overnight stays. I adopted and trained my pitbull mix 3 years ago I’m currently available 24/7. I work in the film industry so this season is slow for me currently. So anytime you need someone, I’ll be there! I care for pets in their clients home by following their regular lifestyle! Whatever they are used to is what I will become accustomed to. No need to disrupt their day to day lives. I’m just here to give them love and take care of the needs they/their parents have
About: I have been around animals all my life. We raised our children with dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and even butterflies! I love animals and often care for family and friends whose pets need care. I have worked in New York, Arizona, and now North Carolina caring for these precious pets! I believe deeply that these fur babies are intuitive, intelligent, and capable of giving and receiving love. I prefer to only board non shedding dogs at my home. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. My day revolves around the needs of the pets I care for. I manage our rentals on our property so I am always close by! The pets I care for are free to roam around and explore inside our home. We have a back deck and open backyard. We back up to a nature preserve so there are walking trails and lots of places for exercise. Our neighborhood is quiet and well established. There are many dogs walking throughout in the morning and evening with their owners!
“Phoebe has been such a blessing! We are so thankful to know that she is loving on our pup during the work day. She sends notes and pictures each day to let us know how our girl is doing. We would not hesitate to recommend Phoebe!”
About: Hello! My name is Amy. I do work M-F, but am flexible for drops ins and walks most days. I will confirm this prior to booking. I'm happy to send plenty of photos of your pet to you during any check ins or strolls. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, as well as fish, small reptiles, and birds that are cockatoo sized or smaller. I would love to help out you and your pets! I hope to hear from you and work with you very soon ! I have a senior cat and 3 dogs of my own (a great pyr mix, a larger hound mix, and a great dane mix). I am comfortable administering medications and have experience with injections, should your animal be diabetic etc. I am comfortable with some behavioral issues as well, to include leash reactivity, as long as the pet and myself can both be safe. I have a hybrid job so I am in the office some days, and fully home on others. We would discuss this prior to booking. I am off on the weekends and fully available for all of your pet needs. I am off on all major holidays. I am happy to follow any requests! I am happy to abide by any alarms, cameras in the home, etc and will follow your requests regarding photos during the visit.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
Jennifer is great with my Dog Finn. Very reliable. I always get her for drop in visits when I am gone for the day and house sitting when i am going to need to be away for a few days. Boarding him would really stress him out because he doesnt "care for" dogs so having her watch him in his home works great for us.
What a wonderful experience with Kristin! She was attentive, caring, and made sure our kitties received plenty of quality time while we were away. Communication was excellent with Kristin providing regular updates and photos which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We appreciate Kristin’s care and thoughtfulness and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving pet sitter!
Kim is always awesome with our cat Mateo! We were extra thankful this time when she accepted a last minute request the week before we were heading out of town. She rolled with a food change for our buddy and took excellent care of him, as always. We are very thankful to have someone we trust and who Mateo loves. He is picky about people but he curled up in her lap when she was here. Thanks Kim!
Oceana is a pro pet sitter! I could tell Taco enjoyed his time with her from the many thoughtful photo updates sent while I was out of town. She has vast experience with animals and it shows. Super easy to deal with and will definitely book again. Thank you! 😊
Bonnie was wonderful! She helped us out on short notice and over the holiday weekend. We were so thankful and pleased with her response time, availability, follow-up, daily checking with pictures and overall professionalism. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and our babies were well taken care of!!
Beth was a wonderful sitter while we were out of town. She made sure she came over right on time took such great care of our animals. She played with them, took long walks and made them feel loved. She was so great at communicating with us and sending us many pictures which we loved. Will absolutely be booking her again. She was fantastic!!
Laine has been so great! We needed a new dog sitter last minute for our 1 y/o golden retriever and she was able to accommodate our schedule immediately! Communication with her has been so quick and easy, she is very responsive, she is so sweet, and our dog loves her! We've even talked with her already about possibly boarding! You can tell she loves dogs which is something I want in whoever watches our fur baby. We will definitely keep using Laine as long as she is dog sitting!
Jasmine was great with our senior dog while we were out of town! She was punctual, patient, and sent regular updates and photos. Our dog is blind and very arthritic, and he needs a little extra TLC--I felt very confident that he was in good hands with Jasmine. I highly definitely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
