“I was very happy with Mac's stay with Laurel. I had shared with her that Mac loves going on walks and she took him for two long walks. She shared with me how he was doing over the course of the day. I would use Laurel again without hesitation.”
“It gives me such peace of mind to see how comfortable Sheldon is staying with Adriene and her two dogs. I love the daily updates and pictures of Sheldon taking walks, playing and napping in comfy spots. This has worked out so well for us!”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, which has informed my experience with them. I enjoy walking dogs and training them to learn new tricks. I know several dog training techniques, including positive reinforcement techniques. I can always make time out of my schedule to walk Fido or give Fluffy extra cuddles. I am available especially on Saturdays. When I'm spending time with your furbabies, it never feels like work. I care for my pets by making sure they have plenty of water and food. I also walk the dog frequently and make sure the cat has a clean litter box. For clients, I care for pets per their instructions.
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“Joseph did a terrific job with Benny! He was very involved and attentive to his needs, and constantly kept us updated on Benny throughout the week. He shared photos and videos of our pup having a great time and really put us at ease while we were away. Highly Recommend!”
“I’m grateful that Lindsey accepted Cecelia in her home as her own, and for the gentle care that she provided. From the pictures Lindsey sent me and the texts on the daily basis (even multiple times a day), I could tell that Cecelia was feeling very comfortable, happy, and content that all her needs were being met. I highly recommend Lindsey, and would definitely ask her for the care of Cecelia again.”
“This was my first time boarding my 6-month puppy, but Claudia eased all my worries. I got tons of pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind. I could tell Stella had a great time. If you’re unsure about boarding your pet for the first time, you can trust Claudia!”
“Cecelia took good care of our pup. She was very professional and flexible with meeting up, drop off and pick up. We appreciated the updates and special attention to meeting our dogs needs.”

“Olivia did wonders with our Charlie ! He was just 3 months old when we gave him to her for 4 nights and 5 days. Due to Charlie’s age we were skeptical at first leaving Charlie with a stranger. All my fears were relieved ! Olivia was great she took right to Charlie picked him Up and showered him with love ! Kept him on our same schedule with feeding and eating. She sent us daily texts and photos ! She even used all her doggie knowledge to help Charlie with “ teething phase”. He came back to us tail Wagging, bathed, and nails clipped ! She was absolutely amazing we will be hiring Olivia over and over again ! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would !”
“We are so grateful to find Rovr. My baby Bear have a new family at Mrs. Patti’s home. Bear suffer from separation anxiety and we didn’t know what to expect from him. But Mrs. Patti kept us updated with text and pics. He just love it! He play with his new friends, eat his meals and had a wonderful time. Thank you Patti so much.”
“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! 😂”
“Lorraine was absolutely fantastic with my pups! Not only they were well taken care of but she also gave me updates and photos of them daily! And as a mama of two pups that brings peace of mind.

“My flight got cancelled and rescheduled due to the sudden snow storm recently and I was scrambling to find someone to watch my puppy. Kathryn accepted this last minute request and I couldn’t be any more appreciative. I was out of the country and unfortunately had some communication difficulties but she was patient and provided the care my dog needed. Really enjoyed seeing the photos of my pup she would send every time!”
“Amanda is the best!!! We have used Rover for years across three states and Amanda is by far the best communicator, cat photographer, and caregiver we have had! She really cares about the animals and we will use her again!”
“Adriene was AMAZING with our two dogs, Chole and Luna! She gave them such love and attention. She communicated with us while we were away. This made us feel so comfortable. We knew they girls were being well cared for. We highly recommed Adriene!”
“Maya is the best! Reliable, trustworthy, and super communicative. It’s clear that she enjoys her time with our cat, and we rest easy knowing she’s in good hands! Highly recommend.”
“Jenna was amazing with both of my cats. She sent amazing updates and pictures throughout her stay. My cats are very shy and typically will not come out for strangers, however they felt super comfortable with Jenna and were letting her pet them by day 2! I plan on using Jenna again and highly recommend her.”
“Toni is THE BEST! I have booked her several times now because she is so good with Frida. She's conscientious and takes such good care of my girl. You would be lucky to have her take care of your fur babies. I cannot recommend her enough. Five stars are not enough & Rover should not cap tips at 30%!”
“This is the first time I used Rover, and I would certainly do so again, especially if Teresa were available. She and my cat Josephine obviously got along very well, judging by the cute photos I got every day. She even brought her some new toys! I highly recommend Teresa, and highly recommend the Rover service. I was on vacation for 10 days, and after the first day I knew I’d made the right decision to engage Teresa.”
“Lisa is a fantastic cat sitter. She dropped by to check in on our three cats while my husband and I were on vacation. She made sure our cats were well fed, emptied the litter robot when needed, and provided love and attention to the fur babies while we were away. Lisa is very responsive over text, which is so helpful. 10/10 will book again.”
“Amazing!! Took care of Tex well beyond what was expected and really enjoyed the pic and video updates. Was very responsive and so kind. Highly recommend if you don’t want to be worried if your pup is getting the care and attention they deserve.”
“Nancy has been amazing with my dogs!!! You can tell she is a true animal lover, because she cares about the details. She made last minute arrangements for us to meet and greet and adjustments to a few of our schedule stays, so she is also very willing to be as flexible as her schedule/life allows. Nancy sends photos and videos of my nuggets every stay. She has even checked in to see how my dog was doing with no upcoming/pending visit, so I know they are in genuinely loving hands under her care.”
“Courtney is phenomenal. She’s watched my black lab a couple of times this summer and I could not be any happier. She plays with my doggie, sends pictures of every visit and always goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family for many years, and I’d love to offer my help with your precious friends too! I currently have a Bassett hound/springer spaniel mix named Moody Blues, but enjoy dogs of all sizes and even the sassiest cats! This is currently my main job, so ensuring my flexibility for you is priority! I look forward to working with you to make sure your pets are cared for. I love to visit and take care of friends! For dogs, we can walk, play at home, I can bring Moody Blues if your dog would enjoy visits, and I’m happy to take care of any cleanups or feedings as well. For my cat friends, I’m happy to take care of the same things, with offers of cuddles and lap time in place of the walks for the indoor kitties.
“Lauren is very flexible and understanding and really great with Chai! Great with updates and giving Chai lots of opportunities to potty and exercise. Chai also gets along great with Lauren’s own pups!”
About: I’m a true dog enthusiast who was the primary caregiver for my German Shepherd, Jax, for almost 9 years until he passed away last year. During that time, I handled every aspect of his daily life—long walks in any weather, scheduled feeding, plenty of play and exercise (he loved fetch!), grooming, basic training, vet appointments, and showering him with affection. Jax was a big, energetic boy with a strong personality, so I’m very comfortable managing high-energy breeds, leash pulling, setting boundaries, and keeping routines consistent for a happy, well-behaved dog. Though I don’t have a dog of my own right now, that deep experience has only strengthened my passion for caring for pups. I’m excited to bring the same level of dedication, patience, and one-on-one attention to your dog—whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, boarding, or whatever they need. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and send daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’d love to earn yours. Feel free to ask any questions or set up a meet-and-greet! 🐾 Honoring Jax by helping other dogs thrive.” I am a stay home mom currently working in an online certification so I’m at home almost all day . I usually just need to take my daughter to and from school. On weekends I am mostly home as well. I have a very big fence yard that I can play with your dog. He can lay down on my deck to soak some sun. I live in a safe neighborhood where I can take him for walks . Or I can cuddle him on my couch watching tv. He will receive all the attention he needs.
About: Your pets are your babies; your home is your sanctuary. I understand & relate to both. I treat your pets & home as I would like mine to be treated. Leaving our four-legged friends behind while we work or travel is really hard. You miss them, and they miss you. Will they be OK? Yes! With me, they will be more than OK. They will be happy. They will be loved. They will have fun. They will enjoy our time together. This all means you can leave your babies behind and not worry!! Caring for pets brings me great joy. I hope you'll reach out. Thanks! Specializations: I specialize in caring for seniors, separation-prone anxiety & nervous cats & dogs; untrained puppies, and recently rescued, adopted & fostered. It's all about building a trusted relationship where an animal feels safe, secure & loved. I work with my niece, who is an Emergency Veterinarian. Birds/Parrots: I am also an avian behavior specialist who rescues and provides forever homes for parrots, including large ones, screamers, biters, and disabled. If you see this and know of a bird parent who can no longer provide the care & attention, proper nutrition, cage-free time & medical needs for their parrot, please reach out to me. There are so many birds out there with owners who just don't have the time, patience, or financial resources that parrots need. Many outlive their caregivers. Thank you! Need care for your pet at the last minute? No worries. I try to be THAT sitter you can count on to always be there for you when you need help the most. I am flexible. I don't charge for last-minute changes, and if available, I'm more than happy to accommodate your change in plans. I'm interested in working with families and their pets on a loyal, repeated, long-term basis. Your pet deserves a familiar face and a trusted caregiver when separated from their family. Each home, owner, and pet is unique and special. My services are uniquely tailored for every pet I am privileged to care for. I will provide you and your pet with the specific care and services you and your loved ones require and expect.
About: I got my first dog when I was 18 years old. She was the sweetest pup I have ever met! Since then dogs have become an irreplaceable part of my life. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs & few dogs with behavioral needs. I have fostered dogs through the years and learnt how meaningful this experience can be. My last foster was a young adult who was a year old. Open to pets all day subjected to advance notice/short notice. I'm mostly home so I can be flexible with your routine and needs. A small heads up is always appreciated. I live in an apartment complex which is 5 mins away from 2 dog parks. I'll take your dog for daily exercise and morning, afternoon and evening. I live in a neighborhood which has lots of space to walk for regular/short walks. I have a 7 year old mild tempered female dog who will provide excellent care and comfort while you are away. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate.
About: I’m a devout animal lover with two dogs of my own and one cat. Caring for animals is truly one of my favorite joys in life! My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home when they’re in my care. My senior dog recently passed from a rare lung cancer so I’m experienced in delivering oral medication, round the clock care and attention, and moving at their pace. Your baby will be well taken care of. I work remote so I am able to give your dog lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your dog will be able to take potty breaks every two hours in the fenced-in yard and spend time outside. We typically go for walks in the early morning and late evening. My Rover calendar is updated daily so that I can support any urgent needs, when available. Boarding & Daycare: My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home! I only board one dog at a time so that I can give them adequate, individualized attention all throughout the day. You will not find a sitter in Wilmington that is as attentive as I am. My pets are kept separate during boarding. Your dog will have access to the entire first floor and the fenced in-backyard. I have a dedicated bedroom for boarding where I can sleep with dogs who may have separation anxiety to ensure they are comfortable. Drop-in visits & Walks: I‘ll take my time getting to know your dog and make sure they’re comfortable with me being there. I like to sit with them for a few minutes before and after each walk to feel out their energy levels. On walks, I recognize that this is their social time so I go at their pace and let them get plenty of sniff time. I am very respectful of your home and will follow your instructions closely.
“I can not say enough about how wonderful Cecilia was in taking care of my 2 Aussie pups. We were in town for 2 days visiting friends and having her and her husband to take care of our children allowed us to relax and enjoy our stay. She even offered to keep them till 8pm and deliver them to us. Both our babies us came home happy and exhausted. Cecilia is so passionate about caring for furbabies. I especially loved how she could read their body language and make quick adjustments to how she introduced them to her home. You could tell that their comfort level was more important than just moving from point A to point B. Thank you Cecilia for being you!”
“Olivia is amazing! She is very reliable, flexible with scheduling, and great with communication. She clearly loves animals and has been so great with my puppy—he is very anxious around people but loves Olivia! Highly recommend her for walks and sitting!”

Pets in my care get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection in a safe, loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel right at home. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a three-legged dog in the past, which taught me how to adapt to special needs and provide compassionate, attentive care for pets of all abilities.
“Julia has been great with communication and making sure that my pup is well taken care of—I feel confident that she is ensuring he gets enough exercise but also goes the extra mile to fill up his water bowl and spends some time with him indoors before leaving. We are looking forward to having her as a regular dog walker moving forward!”
“Nathan & Meredith are amazing! From arranging meet & greet, communications through app, and the thoughtful notes after every walk, they are really caring to your pets. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”
“Anna is such a sweetheart! I rescued an my old girl Bex and she normally doesn’t take to people quickly but Anna knew exactly what to do and how to handle her! I was an avid Wag! Fan and user but honestly I feel more comfortable with Anna watching after my girl(s) she even made sure my cats were inside because of my ocd! She’s fantastic and I’m retiring the Wag!

I am understanding that everyone has a different routine for their dog and that it is important for the dog and family to stay on that routine!

She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“Joseph did a terrific job with Benny! He was very involved and attentive to his needs, and constantly kept us updated on Benny throughout the week. He shared photos and videos of our pup having a great time and really put us at ease while we were away. Highly Recommend!”
“Cecelia took good care of our pup. She was very professional and flexible with meeting up, drop off and pick up. We appreciated the updates and special attention to meeting our dogs needs.”
About: I have had animals all of my life. Love Dogs, big and small, Cats finicky and cuddly. I have taken care of special needs animals and have managed medications as well as shots and measuring blood sugar. Currently I have two rescue Greyhounds and a Jack Russell Terrier, basically 2 couch potatoes and a WonderDog who never stops chasing a stick. Last but not least I have Sage, a 15-year-old grey tabby who looks really good for her age and puts the Pups in their place. In any event I am looking forward to meeting your pets in the near future. ~Regards, Kelli I am currently semi-retired and have all of the time in the world. In other words my schedule is quite flexible, so I am able to work around yours. Although I do not offer pet sitting in my home, I am able to accommodate any needs or schedule for your pets in your home. I am also able to transport your pets in my SUV for Park, Veterinary visits etc..
“Olivia did wonders with our Charlie ! He was just 3 months old when we gave him to her for 4 nights and 5 days. Due to Charlie’s age we were skeptical at first leaving Charlie with a stranger. All my fears were relieved ! Olivia was great she took right to Charlie picked him Up and showered him with love ! Kept him on our same schedule with feeding and eating. She sent us daily texts and photos ! She even used all her doggie knowledge to help Charlie with “ teething phase”. He came back to us tail Wagging, bathed, and nails clipped ! She was absolutely amazing we will be hiring Olivia over and over again ! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would !”
“We are so grateful to find Rovr. My baby Bear have a new family at Mrs. Patti’s home. Bear suffer from separation anxiety and we didn’t know what to expect from him. But Mrs. Patti kept us updated with text and pics. He just love it! He play with his new friends, eat his meals and had a wonderful time. Thank you Patti so much.”
“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! 😂”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Andres was great with our pup! He has such a calm demeanor and excellent knowledge of many dog breeds. He even obliged us with a trial night as our pup has separation anxiety issues. We have already booked another stay with he and his wife.”
“Christie was very patient with our dog Ollie as he settled in to new surroundings. I appreciate that she was communicative and flexible. Would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Justin & Stephanie were so great with our big dog & our older dog. We loved how detailed they were during the meetup and how many pictures they sent us while we were away! We really felt like they were in good loving hands while we were away and they made our first rover experience awesome.”
“Lauren and her family were amazing!!! Very flexible and attentive to my senior dogs’ changing needs. Great with updates, walks, medical needs, everything! My three dogs seemed so blissful there :)”
“Lauren was the best!! She provided a ton of photos and was very considerate of the snow+salt situation - was very concerned for my pups paws so worked around that accordingly! Very friendly and her own dogs are the cutest!”
“Samantha was great! Rosie had never been around new people or other animals so we were a little nervous. However, Samantha kept us updated, sent pictures and Rosie looked very comfortable and happy! This eased our minds greatly. She came home with a business as usual attitude. We would definitely use Samantha's services again.”
