“Rebekkah did drop by visits for my two cats while I was out of town and was great! She was responsive, caring and took care of all their needs. I would definitely book Rebekkah again and would highly recommend her.”


“Lindsay did an absolutely amazing job with our kitty, Ella!! She not only followed all of the schedules but shared photos with us while we were away! Lindsay took the time to play with Ella and comfort her in our absence. She gave us peace of mind that our Ella was well taken care of! We will definitely be utilizing Lindsay again!!”


About: I have experience with Elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have some experience with training and am able to assist with simple commands like sit, stay and heel. I have experience with reactive dogs as I used to have one of my own and am very good at soothing stressed animals and keeping them under control. I am a University student and will be leaving Wilmington on July 10th. However I do regularly return for holidays and will be back in December. I am a very diligent caretaker always keeping an eye on the pet and taking time to determine what they need when they express distress. I am very active and love being in nature so I am happy to take as many walks as might be necessary!


About: I have never not had at least two pets in my entire life, I have also pet sat multiple animals in the last few years, specifically dogs and cats, but I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, rodents, invertebrates, and farm animals. I love all animals and also have experience admintering oral medication and specialized diets. I have experience with senior care as well as young animals. I don't mind specific requests and encourage specifics when it comes to the animal members of every family. I am currently available weekdays during the day, as well as some weekends.I do not currently have the ability to board animals in my own home. I can feed animals, play with, and walk them. I can clean Iitterboxes and administer oral medications as well as follow any specialized diet plans. I can stay in the home with your pet or take them out for a walk or to the park.

About: Have worked with animals since I was a little kid. Have cared for all types of animals including deer and snakes. Love dogs and cats and feel that they need the same love and care we give each other. I have been helping my girlfriend Courtney Barron with her rover account for almost a year now. We have several regulars that we love to sit for. Dogs especially love me bc I can’t help but hug them and love them. I am available everyday for sitting and available after 2 pm Monday - Saturday and before 3 on Sunday for all other services. Ask for further availability. I have a small home space but love and care for one dog at a time so they get my full attention. Animals are allowed on my furniture and will probably love to sit and watch movies with me.

“Lillie checked all the boxes perfectly for our needs. She was attentive to our two dogs (one older and one younger / energetic) and our cat. We felt confident and comfortable with our “kids” in her care. Would definitely recommend!”


“Grey was amazing and I would highly recommend and will be booking again! He watched my Jack Russel and they became fast friends and my house was in great shape when I returned. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my guy!!!”


“Taylor was great with my two cats. She sent me pictures of them to show me how they were. They seemed happy and comfortable with her, and were content when we got back home. I definitely recommend her, and will leave my babies in her care again when we travel.”


“Sydney was great! Planned a trip short notice and needed someone to check on my 10 month old golden retriever puppy. She came the night before to meet us as this was my first time ever using the app. Will definitely use her again!”


About: I've had dogs in my home as pets since I was born!! My first dog was named Penny. A cute Chihuahua. From that point on I remember having dogs as pets. And as a mother of three children, we had our sampling of dogs from Jack Russell terriers, Labradors, Maltese, Shih Tzu's. Not to mention, gerbils, hamsters, and a few cats along the way. We even had a few Heinz 57 breeds as well. We always took care of our pets and loved them until they crossed over the rainbow bridge. As a mother of 3, I taught them the importance of caring and being responsible for them. They were taught to never mistreat them and always give them love and compassion. Now that my children are grown, all three have pets in their home. The wonderful blessing of having pets in our home when my children were young has transferred over into their homes. They are teaching their own children the responsibility of pet care and love. My single adult son has learning disabilities and mental health issues. He has a Shih Tzu as a pet. If it were not for his dog, my son's days would be hopeless and futile. His dog has prevented him from doing hurtful things to himself because he knew he had the responsibility of taking care of his dog. And he loves his dog so much he did not want to abandon him. I am currently retired. I volunteer at a local thrift store 2 1/2 days a week. All the other days are flexible unless I have personal appointments or family time planned. I have two small Shih Tzu's. They are now in their senior years. Charlie is 15 years old and Sassy is 10 years old. They are the love of my life. I love being retired but I still miss being involved more in my community. And I love dogs! Working as a pet sitter will provide me opportunities to enjoy other's dogs as well as being involved in my community and surrounding area. I will come to your home and provide quality care, love and compassion like I do my very own. If I need to stay the night or a number of nights, I will provide the care that you instruct me to give your pet. I will walk, feed, play and keep your pet's routine as if you were home. I will also administer any medicines if necessary.

“I am so grateful to Leandra for taking such good care of my pups while I was away for the day!!! She took them on 2 walks each, sent pics and videos and gave me a run down of what they did, how they were, etc. I will definitely book Leandra again and again, my pups loved her and were tired and happy babies when I got home 🥰”

“Gabrielle has lovingly cared for several of our dogs through the years. It is always a wonderful feeling leaving our little loved ones knowing Gabrielle will be the one to walk with and play with them for hours.

Samantha C.
“Samantha has always been our go to sitter when we leave town. She is very friendly and capable of caring for all my many different animals that range from senior dogs (3)and cats to my flock of ducks and my 10 year old rooster. She always feeds the appropriate times and amounts and my animals love her. Definitely would recommend”


Martin m.
“We all love Martin - humans and furbabies. Our German Shepherd Ford is so attached to him. I'll tell Ford that Martin is coming over and he will sit by the door all day waiting for him. When Martin and Courtney are both here, Ford doesn't even want Courtney to be by him - not in an aggressive way - just cries and barks until he gets attention. What is truly awesome about Martin is knowing that not only are our animals taken care of, but also our house. When we leave I know that they treat our home like their own. Along with every day chores; litter boxes, grabbing mail, etc. He also makes sure the garbage is put out once a week, or any other special duties. And the best part is that I know he LOVES our animals, especially Ford. You will never go wrong having Martin take care of your animals.”

April W.
“You only have to know April for a few minutes to discover she has a clear passion for animals, especially dogs, horses, and cats! She is extremely knowledgeable about animals from her youth of owning various animals, working after school for a local horse breeder, and spending time in a local vet office. This, along with her ER nursing experience, gives her a confidence that I appreciate when she takes care of my pup. When April keeps my dog, I travel without a single worry for his safety and health. I know I will come home to find him healthy, happy, and usually not wanting to leave her! There are very few people that I consider leaving my dog with for brief business trips, but when I needed to be in Spain for a month, I would have canceled the trip if April had not been available. She treated my pet as she would her own, maintained consistent communication (soothing my separation anxiety!), and was unwavering in following my dog's unique diet plan. I would not hesitate to recommend April to anyone seeking devoted, outstanding care for their furry family members.”
