“So good. My dog sometimes comes home pretty stressed, no fault of other boarders. But with Allie he was part of a great group of peaceful dogs and came home very relaxed. Great communication throughout his stay. Very good experience.”
“This was our second stay with Jordan, and I realized I never left a review after the first one. However, I definitely should have! As a first time Rover user, in fact the first time ever leaving my 9-year old pup with a stranger, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Jordan completely exceeded my expectations. He sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay with a plethora of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that my dog was being loved and well cared for. Not only is Jordan amazing, but his family is so kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and surrounded by so much love made all the difference. I can't thank Jordan enough for taking such great care of my dog, Lily. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend booking with him. We'll definitely be back!”
“Wonderful. Didn’t worry about my dog, not for a second. Got pictures/updates at least 1x/day. With Donna & Calvin, I know my dog will be loved, exercised, as well as well rested. Thank you both!”
“Maddie had a wonderful spring break stay with Gabrielle and her family! She sent us a lot of cute pics and updates so we felt very comfortable. We had to make a last minute itinerary change and Gabrielle helped us with that. This family loves dogs and dies a fabulous job! Thanks- love Maddie and family”
“Kaylah and family are the best boarders we ever had for our fury friends . They feel like at home once boarded and have no problem to stay . What a great family and well educated kids !”
“Jenn and her son were lovely hosts to my mini golden doodle. Jenn was very kind and friendly. Jenn very clearly cares a lot for animals! She gave my pup lots of attention and sent frequent photos and videos. 10/10. I will definitely book with her again!”
“We love having Rupert stay with Andrew and his family! Andrew is fantastic with communication, takes Rupert on plenty of walks, socializes him with his adorable cat Poe, and gave him his daily medications! We feel so great knowing Rupert is with a wonderful caretaker when we go out of town! We have used Andrew as a sitter multiple times and will continue to do so!”
“My first experience on rover and Sarah and her family knocked it out of the park. Instantly felt comfortable and knew that my puppers was going to be in good hands. Very responsive and updated me throughout her stay daily. Very attentive and genuinely cared for my sweet girl. Highly recommend.”
“Walker has some unexpected challenges while staying with Hilary and we felt that she navigated them well and also communicated them clearly. You don’t know what you don’t know sometimes! Our dog got plenty of exercise and playtime while there even though he had to stay crated more than usual. We were very pleased with Hilary!”
“Olivia was very attentive to our needs for Leila. She shared some great videos with us which made us feel relaxed & happy that our girl was well taken care of.”
“This family is absolutely wonderful when watching your dog and they follow everything you do in your own home! My dog was so happy all weekend getting to play with the friendliest dogs and getting lots of exercise!”
“My dog stayed with Sue-Ling, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such wonderful care of my dog. Kind, patient, and really attentive to her needs. It was clear from the start that Sue-Ling truly loves animals and treats them like her own. There was a small health issue while I was away, but Sue-Ling handled everything calmly and responsibly. She kept me updated right away and made sure my dog was comfortable and safe. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I’m really grateful for the care and attention Sue-Ling gave to my dog, and I would absolutely trust her to look after her again anytime. She’s amazing!”
“Natalie watched my two dogs, Rooster and River, for 10 days and did an amazing job! We looked forward to her updates and knew they were safe and having fun with her. I know they will be excited to see her again!”
“Will and Sara were awesome! You can rest easy leaving your pet with them for sure. They kept me up to date on how Cooper was doing along with great pics and videos. Cooper had a blast with Louie and if I ever have to use Rover again, Will and Sara will be who I contact first!”
“Clare was awesome! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with lots of photos. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks and was really attentive to her needs and food preferences. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with three fur babies of my own—a wild pup and two sweet senior cats. I also have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for 70+ dogs each day. That experience taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs while making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. At home, we have a good sized fully fenced-in yard where the dogs can run, play, and get plenty of outdoor time. I also love staying active myself, so going for walks with the dogs is one of my favorite parts of pet care. Whether your pet needs some extra playtime, a good long walk, or simply some love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I recently moved to North Carolina from Massachusetts with my fur babies and husband for my husband’s career and to continue his college career at UNCW. Currently, I am not working and pet care is my only focus. I give all my animals/all the animals I care for lots of love and attention. Additionally, I give them lots of play time and exercise.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always enjoyed being around all kinds of pets- from cats and dogs to farm animals. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I’ve dreamed of having the opportunity to spend more time with them. My husband and I moved to Wilmington about 10 years ago, and for much of that time, life kept us so busy that having a pet of our own didn’t feel fair. Since I haven’t had pets of my own during this time, I’ve happily gotten my animal fix by pet sitting for friends and caring for their cats and dogs whenever they’ve needed someone they trust. I work away from home (Registered Nurse since 2016) just one day a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and love they deserve. I have a fenced in yard, a nice neighborhood for walks and no other pets to care for. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own.

“Christina was wonderful caring for my two cats while I was away for five days dealing with a family emergency. One of my cats requires medicating every 12 hours, which Christina capably handled. I also appreciated the daily feedback she provided to me about my cats. It was very comforting for me to know how they were doing and Christina updated me twice a day and handled everything superbly. My cats are my family and they were in good hands with Christina.”
“Lexi was wonderful, always on time for visits, lots of pics and updates. My cat is older and required meds, she was great. Will schedule with her again next trip! Thank you for outstanding care.”
“Bridgette has been very reliable and has been flexible when I needed to change a booking last minute. My dog Roscoe can be very fearful at times and he liked her immediately!”
“April did an amazing job with our two cats! They immediately opened up to her and let their personalities shine. She did a great job caring for the boys which included the last minute addition of eye medication which she handled with ease. We will not hesitate to reach out to her for our further pet sitting needs!”
About: I've been around well trained and untrained dogs alike for most of my life. I am capable with strong dogs, aggressive dogs, and dogs who just have tons of energy! I am currently doing gig work in the film industry, so in between gigs I have plenty of time to care for our furry friends. I care for other people's pets same as I care for mine at home. Simple basics are essential, but the magic happens when you build a bond and enrich each other's time together.
About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have taken care of each and every pet I’ve had. I have always had either a dog or cat in my house. And each of my family members have had pets that I have been around as well. I also use to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I cared for injured animals. I have my own mini farm, where I have pigs, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys! So if you need any of those types of animals cared for I can do that too! I have a very flexible schedule so I basically have the whole day to come take care of any pets! I have plenty of time to come and hang out with your furry family! I have four loving dogs that get outside all day long because I have so much time during the day and a very large fenced in backyard. We go on walks all the time! We can have a pet play date if your pet likes other dogs. If you need your pet needs to crated, I can do that. If they need soothing music put on, I can do that too!
“Did an amazing job at keeping my kitties happy, safe, and living in a clean environment! Always kept me updated with pictures and updates. Definitely would recommend her to care for any of your pets.”
About: By day, I work as a consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time during regular hours. I’ve always loved animals, so I decided to turn that into something fun: dog walking and drop-in visits. I’d love to help keep your pup happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away! My day job gives me a lot of flexibility, so fitting in walks or drop-ins throughout the day is easy for me. It always brightens my day to spend time with animals. I love playing with them, getting outside, and just being around dogs in general. Here's a version for that: Safety is a top priority for me, whether we're out on a walk or spending time in your home. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and is having a good time. I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings, and if anything concerning comes up, I'll reach out to you right away so we can figure out the best next step together.
About: I’ve cat sit, fostered and rescued more cats than I can count ranging from a wide variety of newborns, kittens, and seniors with many distinct needs such help with medication disarray restrictions, specially made meals for diverse nutritional needs and grooming assistance.
About: I have great experience with taking care of all pets. I have also fostered multiple animals in the past couple of years and love it!

I have a fenced in backyard with a lot of room to run around. I have my own dog who is super friendly. Your pet will have my full attention at all times!
“Kate taking care of our cat allowed us to actually enjoy our nearly weeklong trip. Our cat has some difficult health issues, a finicky diet, and loves attention. We were so grateful for Kate’s updates, where it was so clear our cat was happy, healthy, and very well-taken care of. We’ve had several pet sitters over the years, and Kate was the best by far!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5, growing up my street had so many chihuahuas. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. Right now I’m in college so I’m doing this for a little extra money and for something to do. I would love this extra time to care and love your pets as if they are my own plus it would give me something to do. (I promise I have so much free time on my hands this would really help lol) I would keep your dog inside. We would do activities such as walking your dog at a park or around my house. You must bring your own dog/cat food.
About: I did an Internship at an Animal Hospital for about a year and a half. I have personally been taking care of animals since I was about 14. I had a husky for almost 12 years, I had to give her baths, take her on walks, and feed her. I now have a Shih Tzu and for her, I have to take her to her hair cut appointments, her vet appointments, give her baths twice a week, walk her and feed her. I also took care of my Grandma’s cat and I had to take her to hair cut appointments, feed her, and clean her litter box. I am hardworking and also put 110% into everything I do. I am very reliable, trustworthy and I make sure everything I do is done correctly. I have also watched way more pets than what rover says I have, and about 95% of the people I dog sit for do reach back out to me to see if I can watch their pet again! I am a full time student! I currently have a part-time job because I wanted to take a break from pet sitting since I had been doing it continuously for so long. I still pet sit for my old clients, but am now ready to take on some new ones! I’ve realized I want to work my way back into pet sitting so I can quit my part-time job! I would prioritize the visits needed over my current job for your animal! :) I really do miss pet sitting and hope to be able to get back into it! The pets I have watched, if it’s at the owners house, or mine, they always seem very happy, and the owners are always pleased when they arrive back home! I am very observant when it comes to watching animals, so I try to provide the best care I can while they are with me!
About: My name is Drew, and I am the ultimate animal lover! I spent three years in Denver working in management at an in-home pet care company. I will take the very best care of your pets and provide a fun-loving environment! My pitsky, Quest, is friendly with other pups and loves to run and play all day. If you have an animal that does not like other dogs, I will be happy to drop by and spend time with them in their comfort zone. I have owned a husky and worked with many high-maintenance breeds, as well as having experience working with animals with disabilities and administering medications. I am open to boarding at my home, walks, day visits, and addressing other health needs your animals may have. Thank you, and I hope to pet and play with your fur friends soon! I will be working from 8am - 4pm, Mon. - Fri. During the school year. I have summers off and I am available full time and occasionally able to watch during the Holiday seasons. I have a large fenced and backyard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

About: Hi! I'm Kaitlyn, and I've spent the past 10 years caring for pets of all ages-from playful puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra patience and gentle attention. I have two dogs myself a 3-year-old Aussiedoodle named Maxine and a 1-year-old Goldendoodle named Meeko so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. What sets me apart is my reliability, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals-I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, medication reminders, and, of course, giving plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I'd love to schedule a meet and greet to see if I'm the right fit for your furry friend! - Kaitlyn Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the day. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time—so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment.

When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a welcoming, safe environment where they’ll enjoy lots of love, playtime, and supervision.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around pets. I’m responsible, patient and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and specific quirks. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student and I’m not working currently, so I have a really flexible schedule. I also have a light class load this semester, which gives me plenty of free time throughout the week. Because of that, I’m able to be flexible with different pet schedules and spend plenty of time with them instead of just rushing in and out. I am able to work around your pet’s routine, whether they need a walk, playtime, to be fed, or just someone to hang out with.

I will do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable and safe while you’re away!

I have house-sat while taking care of the pets, made drop in visits through out the day, and have walked multiple dogs at once. I am very reliable and attentive. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave them with another person; so I always make sure to do frequent updates over text (unless call is preferred). I do have two dogs of my own so if you’re looking to drop your pet with me, he/she must get along with other dogs! Thank you for your consideration! I only work three days a week so I should have plenty of time to take care of your babies as long as it’s on my days off which I have posted! :) I have a fenced yard and two very friendly and playful dogs to keep yours company.

About: I have four cats and a german shepherd. I grew up having dogs and cats my whole life. I have raised kittens and bottle fed them and have experience with small dogs and very large dogs. I currently work full time monday- friday. I am available early mornings, I have an hour lunch break, and I am available after 3pm most days! I am free all day on the weekends. I can easily travel to care for your pets and do whatever is necessary to provide proper care! I cannot bring your pets to my home however I can transport them!
About: By day, I work as a consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time during regular hours. I’ve always loved animals, so I decided to turn that into something fun: dog walking and drop-in visits. I’d love to help keep your pup happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away! My day job gives me a lot of flexibility, so fitting in walks or drop-ins throughout the day is easy for me. It always brightens my day to spend time with animals. I love playing with them, getting outside, and just being around dogs in general. Here's a version for that: Safety is a top priority for me, whether we're out on a walk or spending time in your home. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and is having a good time. I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings, and if anything concerning comes up, I'll reach out to you right away so we can figure out the best next step together.
About: I can’t remember an age where I wasn’t helping birth and raise kittens and puppies, turtles, or rodents. From having blind, toothless senior chihuahuas and senile cats…to a litter of brand new pups or kittens struggling to catch their first breath I’ve been part of it. I’ve had several rodents and reptiles, and cared for my friends and family birds as well. Trained puppies and kittens to use the potty and more. Also helped with a few farm animals too. I work only 20-25hrs a week, so I’ll always be home within 6hours or less. Outside of work, I’m home hanging out with my kids and furbabies. I have two e.s.a. Certified cats who tend to hide away when someone new is here. I’ve had them both since babies (13y & 3y). Keep things clean, organized, healthy, I had a cleaning company too. I don’t have crates on hand or an outside fence but I have a huge yard, the neighbor has a spayed female American bulldog, very friendly. There are farm animals next door. However, I do appreciate being where the pet is comfortable and knows its space.

About this sitter: I love dogs and have volunteered at the Greyhound Pets of America and the Central Florida Pug Rescue. Why I love dog sitting For over forty years i have been a dog lover. I attended dog grooming school and volunteer for the Central Florida Pug Rescue and Greyhound Pets Of America. I have also facilitated safe adoptions for dogs needing forever homes. I do prefer that you bring a crate for your dog to sleep in. Please note: overnights are based on a 24 hour period. This means that there may be an additional fee if your dog remains past 24 hours on the day of pickup. This is why I need to know an exact drop off and pickup time before booking.

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5, growing up my street had so many chihuahuas. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. Right now I’m in college so I’m doing this for a little extra money and for something to do. I would love this extra time to care and love your pets as if they are my own plus it would give me something to do. (I promise I have so much free time on my hands this would really help lol) I would keep your dog inside. We would do activities such as walking your dog at a park or around my house. You must bring your own dog/cat food.

About: I did an Internship at an Animal Hospital for about a year and a half. I have personally been taking care of animals since I was about 14. I had a husky for almost 12 years, I had to give her baths, take her on walks, and feed her. I now have a Shih Tzu and for her, I have to take her to her hair cut appointments, her vet appointments, give her baths twice a week, walk her and feed her. I also took care of my Grandma’s cat and I had to take her to hair cut appointments, feed her, and clean her litter box. I am hardworking and also put 110% into everything I do. I am very reliable, trustworthy and I make sure everything I do is done correctly. I have also watched way more pets than what rover says I have, and about 95% of the people I dog sit for do reach back out to me to see if I can watch their pet again! I am a full time student! I currently have a part-time job because I wanted to take a break from pet sitting since I had been doing it continuously for so long. I still pet sit for my old clients, but am now ready to take on some new ones! I’ve realized I want to work my way back into pet sitting so I can quit my part-time job! I would prioritize the visits needed over my current job for your animal! :) I really do miss pet sitting and hope to be able to get back into it! The pets I have watched, if it’s at the owners house, or mine, they always seem very happy, and the owners are always pleased when they arrive back home! I am very observant when it comes to watching animals, so I try to provide the best care I can while they are with me!
About: I’ve always been a pet lover. Me and animals just get along! So this is the perfect job for me. I am responsible and you shouldn’t need to worry while you’re away. I am a care giver to pets, children and seniors. I am available to sit, walk, play or sleep over with your sweet pet. I can do one time or recurring pet care. I am happy to keep your pet in your home or mine! At home I have 1 cat currently, who is indoor/outdoor and doesn’t even flinch at even the biggest dog! I also have 3 kids, all who are avid pet lovers.

“So good. My dog sometimes comes home pretty stressed, no fault of other boarders. But with Allie he was part of a great group of peaceful dogs and came home very relaxed. Great communication throughout his stay. Very good experience.”
“This was our second stay with Jordan, and I realized I never left a review after the first one. However, I definitely should have! As a first time Rover user, in fact the first time ever leaving my 9-year old pup with a stranger, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Jordan completely exceeded my expectations. He sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay with a plethora of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that my dog was being loved and well cared for. Not only is Jordan amazing, but his family is so kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and surrounded by so much love made all the difference. I can't thank Jordan enough for taking such great care of my dog, Lily. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend booking with him. We'll definitely be back!”
“Maddie had a wonderful spring break stay with Gabrielle and her family! She sent us a lot of cute pics and updates so we felt very comfortable.

Andrew is fantastic with communication, takes Rupert on plenty of walks, socializes him with his adorable cat Poe, and gave him his daily medications! We feel so great knowing Rupert is with a wonderful caretaker when we go out of town! We have used Andrew as a sitter multiple times and will continue to do so!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with three fur babies of my own—a wild pup and two sweet senior cats. I also have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for 70+ dogs each day. That experience taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs while making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. At home, we have a good sized fully fenced-in yard where the dogs can run, play, and get plenty of outdoor time. I also love staying active myself, so going for walks with the dogs is one of my favorite parts of pet care. Whether your pet needs some extra playtime, a good long walk, or simply some love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I recently moved to North Carolina from Massachusetts with my fur babies and husband for my husband’s career and to continue his college career at UNCW. Currently, I am not working and pet care is my only focus. I give all my animals/all the animals I care for lots of love and attention. Additionally, I give them lots of play time and exercise.
“Samantha and her family were the best! They took such great care of Finn, he came home a very tired, happy boy. She was very quick to respond and provided daily updates with pictures while I was away. I will absolutely use this family again as a sitter. They are so trusting and I will be recommending them to all of my friends :)”
