“Katelyn is amazing! She took incredible care of my big pittie girl and provided adorable, communicative updates. It was clear my dog had a great time with her. Would highly recommend her to anyone in the Wilmington area! :)”


“Sarah and her husband were the perfect fit for watching our dog Harper. We booked them last minute for a quick trip and they made Harper feel right at home! Harper gets nervous around dogs sometimes but after meeting Sara’s wonderful dog they got along just fine! I appreciated Sara’s great communication and the constant updates! Will definitely be booking with her again, would highly recommend!”


“Allie V and Billy hit it off like long lost pals. Billy became a member of the family right away. Long walks and plenty of close attention. We are booking another stay w Allie V in 2 weeks!”



“Abigail, took great care of our dog. Every pic she sent he was enjoying himself. Whenever we come back in town I’ll be reaching out! Thank you for caring for Bear!”


“Julie was wonderful to work with, very responsive with communication, flexible with scheduling, and took great care of our dog who loved playing with her dogs in the back yard. I will work with her again.”


“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Maggie. I thought I would be nervous leaving my dog in the care of a stranger but when meeting Maggie I could tell my dog Sadie would be well cared for while I was on vacation. With a nice, shaded backyard and a friendly relaxed vibe it is the perfect vacation for a dog. She got lots of walks and attention too. I highly recommend Maggie if you are looking to board your dog.”



“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!”


“Helena and her family were so good with our dog, Mugsy. She took the time to listen to and understand any special instructions, and sent us regular photos and updates. She reached out quickly when there was any questions or concerns. I can tell Helena truly loves dogs and treats them like family. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!”


“Erin was a great sitter! She provided lots of updates and my cattle dog had lots of fun running around with her golden retriever in their huge fenced yard. Would definitely use Erin again in the future!”


“Jordan is amazing! We took our mini doxie to spend the night with Jordan and he had the greatest adventure! Jordan listened to all of our concerns as this was our first time boarding our puppy. Jordan was prepared and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and give MoMo lots of reassurance and exercise. She sent pictures and updates, that were much appreciated. We will definitely book with Jordan again.”


About: I have been around dogs all my life, and love them so much! My partner and I have 2 dogs (we previously had 3) and fostered several times before that. I love seeing dogs live their best life, playing, running, swimming, napping, whatever makes them happy! I have experience with a variety of adult dogs and puppies of various sizes and am situationally aware and patient of dogs with behavioral issues. I hope I can compliment your dogs' routine and add love, attention and fun to their day. I work Monday - Friday from roughly 8am - 5pm. I have flexibility in my work day meaning I can often work from home or go in office late/leave early. I work in land management and often spend time in the field. If your dog has good recall and is good around people, they can come to work with me and run around in the woods for a fun adventure! I want to give any pet the best care and attention they deserve, or need at the minimum. Any treats or food I give pets I try to give with good quality. Keeping pets healthy is important to me! I also hope that although they will get plenty of exercise with me, that they get their rest and are comfortable when the day is done.


“Kate was super friendly and took great care of my pup. He came home happy, tired and not stressed at all. She sent me pics and updates daily. She really put my mind at ease. I would use her again 100%”


“Angie was so great!! We were first time boarders and she put our minds right at ease! She sent daily updates and pictures and took such good care of Charlie. Would highly recommend her!!”


About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, including those with special needs and medical conditions. Every animal in my care will be loved, snuggled, and spoiled—or given the space they prefer, depending on their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe and comforting environment for them while you’re away. Hi, My schedule is open, my hours are not limited… accept for Wednesdays. I can watch on Wednesday with advance notice, please and thank you. I will discuss care with the owner one on one, each animal is special and different and the owner will know what is best for their fur baby.

About: I love all animals, and I really enjoy outdoor activities, so I work well with energetic animals, but I am happy to take care of just about any kind or size of animal. I am off of work from Sunday to Tuesday, so those days typically work best for me to give my full attention to any animals. I am in an apartment, so watching animals at their original home typically works best for me, but I could make watching animals at my apartment work.

Oak Island pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a GREAT experience with Yueqian! I left my 10 lb Shih tzu (Leo) and 15 lb Bernedoodle (Nellie) in her care and she made sure to go above and beyond. We received multiple pictures every day and she even made a chicken cake for Leo’s birthday! We also needed to pick them up in the middle of the week to take family pictures and she was completely accommodating. If we find ourselves back in Oak Island we will definitely use her again.
