“Diane stood out to me because of her wonderful reviews and the fact that she had multiple repeat family's that trusted her with their dogs. This was the first time anyone would be taking care of a dog of mine outside of family or friends so I was worried to find the right person and unsure about a stranger taking care of my "child" but when I met Diane I felt so comfortable that my Phoebe was in safe hands and that she understood her needs and would care for her like a member of her own family. It's clear immediately how much Diane loves / has a passion for dogs and is a very caring / welcoming person. This was also the first time I would be away from my girl so I appreciated so much the frequent updates from Diane and that Diane took the time to understand Phoebe's personality and I felt she listened to my concerns and reassured me about anything and I knew my Phoebe was in great hands and also having such a fun time. Thank you to Diane for taking such good care of my girl and welcoming her into your home for the weekend .”
“This was the first time having to leave my dog with a sitter so I was apprehensive but didn’t have a choice. Sarah was fantastic! She would provide updates and send pictures. I thought my dog adopted a new family and wouldn’t want to come home (thankfully he did)! I would certainly go back to Sarah if I needed dog sitting services again!”
“Carey was literally amazing, I am so happy she was able to take my dogs for a night on a day of request. Seriously so sweet with the sweetest kids that played and loved on my pups for a night. No complaints and so happy to have found her!!!”
“Olivia and Andrew were wonderful. Maizie had an amazing vacation and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about her care. She was well cuddled and played with and Olivia send regular updates to keep my mind at ease. Thank you!”
“Donna and Calvin are wonderful. I didn’t think there would be anywhere that we could leave our pup while we were away that I wouldn’t constantly be fretting over her. Well, Donna and Calvin proved me wrong. I can’t imagine that we could have found better care for our little dog. They are the best!”
“Andrew was great with communicating, ensured Rupert was safe and comfortable, and got lots of walks! He also sent update photos so I knew Rupert was enjoying himself and administered Rupert’s daily medications without a hitch! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Gabrielle and Family were awesome with our dogs. She reached out with questions, frequently sent pictures and we could tell they were very well cared for and loved. They looked very happy in all the pictures she sent. We will definitely use her next time we go out of town.”
“Jenn was amazing! We took a beach vacation from out of town and our rental did not allow dogs. It was such a peace of mind to know that Charlotte was being taken care of so close by. Jenn sent us a lot of updates and pictures and was very responsive. Highly highly recommend!”
“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!”
“This is my third time having Jerry watch my 2 girls! He is my go-to when I am out of town because he is responsible, communicative, and most importantly treats my girls like his own. They always come back happy and tired!”
“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!”
“So thankful for Ashley & Her family, they took great care of our pup. We were so nervous leaving him for the first time but after dropping him off we knew he was in great hands, she provided much appreciate photos and updates throughout the several days. We wouldn’t hesitant to leave our puppy with them again in the future!”
“Morton and I thank all of you for taking care of him while I had to be away. Given that he was rescued to begin with, he tends to be anxious when facing new places and people. You handled him well and I was pleased to see that he was not anxious when he returned to me.”
“Excellent communication and took good care of Ellie--sent pictures and it looked liked Taylor's son was getting along with Ellie--Taylor said his daughter also loved Ellie. Using again--next time for a week.”

We feel comfortable administering medicine and making sure any special lifestyle needs are met! We have a large fenced in backyard, a flexible work schedule allowing your pet to be cared for as much or as little as they need, and an eagerness to make your dogs feel loved and cared for while you’re away! Sara works remotely at home with the ability to be with the dogs all day. We wake up early, start the day with breakfast and a walk, then routinely take the dogs out for fetch and potty breaks in our backyard throughout the day! We have a large fenced in backyard, a dog-proofed layout with breakables put away, water and food bowls easily accessible from the kitchen and an open layout that allows the dogs to easily stretch out and play where they’d like!
“Natalie was great! She answered all of my questions about dropping my dog off ahead of time. She was very inviting and sent pictures and updates throughout my dog’s stay. It was a joy working with Natalie, and we would definitely use her again to watch our dog.”
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.

“Olivia was a fantastic sitter for my cat! She was very responsive and took lots of great photos of her and Leo playing together :) I will definitely rebook with Olivia in the future!”
About: I’m a registered nurse and caring for others is my passion. I’ve taken care of cats my whole life. I grew up with them and adore them. I’m comfortable administering meds, deep cleaning litter boxes, whatever you and your fur baby need. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your pet’s life!
About: I have three dogs — a senior, a teenager, and a pup — so I understand energy levels at every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve trained all of them myself and know that different breeds need different things, especially mental stimulation. I make sure my dogs get that stimulation daily so they feel like they have a job, which has really helped with anxiety. I’ve also had a cat and volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated just like one of my own. I’m also a college student, so when I’m not in class I’m happy to come take care of your pets. I know your schedule matters, so I stay flexible and work around whatever timing suits you best. Your pet’s safety always comes first. In your home, I follow your routines, keep an eye out for anything unfamiliar, and make sure doors and gates stay secure. With my own three dogs, I’m used to managing different temperaments and energy levels safely together, and my time volunteering at animal shelters taught me how to stay calm and attentive with pets I’m just getting to know. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: I grew up with a cat and have absolutely loved cats for as long as I can remember! While I currently have dogs of my own, I still have such a soft spot for cats and would love the chance to spend time with yours. I understand that cats have very different personalities and comfort levels — some want all the attention and cuddles, while others would much rather have their space! I’m happy to follow your cat’s routine and their lead, whether that means playtime, pets, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet, so I’ll be attentive to their needs and happy to send you photos and updates while you’re gone.

I offer in-home pet sitting to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience for your pets while you’re away.

I care for pets like they’re my own, giving them love, attention, and consistency right in the comfort of their home. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved—because when I’m your sitter, your pet gets the best.
“Madison was wonderful. She kept me updated with photos and reports while I was away. My trip was last minute and Madison came to the rescue. Madison also went above and beyond, replaced the batteries for my keyless entry and spent some extra time when she felt our Jojo needed the attention!! Hope Madison is available next time we have to go away.”
“Stephanie was great with Buster!! Always on time and attentive to keep his normal schedule while we were out of town! She even made Buster little pup treats! Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was amazing! We've lucked out and have been able to have family or friends come over to let our pups out when we have to be away for long periods of time, until now. We reached out to Lauren via Rover to come over and check on our pups. One was extremely worried about her presence and the other warmed up after a while. She is communicative and pleasent to talk with via the app. Her Rover Report Cards were detailed (with adorable pics) and helped put our minds at ease with a stranger caring for our pups. Thanks Lauren ?”

About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! 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: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
“Jordan was an absolute delight! She has great communication skills and a lovely personality to match. She’s also accommodating and great at keeping us updated with photos/videos and text messages. My dogs love her, her boyfriend, and her sweet puppy, Theo. I would most definitely recommend. 10/10.”

About: I’ve taken care of my families pets since I was 13, and I became a dog owner 4 years ago!! My baby Jack is a beagle - cavalier king charles spaniel mix and he is the sweetest. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, bathing them, cuddling with them, and so much more.

Can go to the dog park in my neighborhood right behind my house during my lunch break and when I get off at 4. must be friendly with other dogs because my dog will be present! during the summer I only work 1 day/week so very open!

I do not leave dogs home alone unless they are in a crate or kennel. There is a neighborhood dog park right behind my house ( that is typically empty ) that our dogs can play in as well.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Since I moved to North Carolina I have fostered over 10 rescue pups, ranging in age from puppies to seniors. I have experience with puppies and all kinds of dog breeds. My first dog of my own was a 10 year old senior pup named Eddie that I rescued from a shelter in Tucson. He was my soul dog and we had many wonderful years of adventures together. Having used Rover I know what it’s like to be worried about leaving your dog behind. I’m a major dog lover and will take great care of your pup! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and know of lots of areas for walks and fun. In 2024, I adopted a lab/shepherd mix puppy named Finnegan! He loves to play! In December 2025 we added our rescue collie mix, Claire. I work for a children’s nonprofit from home so I’ll be able to spend lots of time with your pup. Feel free to ask me any questions! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and I can easily be ready for potty breaks or walk breaks for high energy pups! I am a big believer of pets being allowed on furniture so I don’t mind if they climb on mine, but if you want to keep them following a certain rule I’m happy to oblige.
About: I have three dogs — a senior, a teenager, and a pup — so I understand energy levels at every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve trained all of them myself and know that different breeds need different things, especially mental stimulation. I make sure my dogs get that stimulation daily so they feel like they have a job, which has really helped with anxiety.

I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Murphy came home exhausted after a full day of playing in the snowy backyard with Andrea’s dogs and the others she was watching for the day. He was a stinky, sleepy, happy pup! She was flexible and easy going, considering our change in pickup/dropoff times due to the snow and traffic. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I grew up with a wheaten terrier. I would always feed and walk neighbors pets while they were on vacation and watched neighbors pets in my home while they were gone for a week. I currently live with my boyfriend and his dog however they will be gone for the next 2 months so there will be no pets in the home. I work M-F, 8AM-3PM. I go on an 2-5 mile walk everyday and can tailor my activity to your dog’s needs. I like to walk around the loop in Wrightsville beach or on the river walk downtown! I live in a 2 bed apartment on the first floor that is very clean but very dog friendly! When my boyfriend is here, his dog lives with us but he is currently traveling for work (with the dog) so the apartment is very dog friendly with lots of toys and blankets everywhere!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I don't currently have pets at my apartment where I'll be pet sitting, my family has five dogs, so I'm very familiar with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I volunteered with a local animal rescue throughout all four years of high school, where I cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments by walking, feeding, socializing, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while they waited to find their forever homes. During that time, I also served as a foster, providing temporary homes for rescue dogs and helping them adjust to a loving environment. These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals. In college, I served as the Treasurer for UNCW's Service Dog Training and Education Program (STEP) for two years. While I'm not a professional dog trainer, my involvement with the organization gave me valuable experience working alongside service dogs and handlers. I'm happy to reinforce basic training, good manners, and routines while your pet is in my care. One thing that sets me apart is that I work from home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. They'll rarely be left alone, and I'll be able to stick closely to their normal routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company. I understand that every pet is unique, and my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I'll care for your pet as if they were one of my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy complete peace of mind. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervised care throughout the day. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at ease. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide morning, afternoon, and evening care. Whether your pet needs an active day filled with walks and play or simply a calm, cozy environment with lots of love and attention, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's as close to home as possible. Because I work from home, I'll be with your pet for most of the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your pet will have a safe, calm environment to relax and feel at home. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own.

About: Over the past two summers, I have gained great experience watching not only my own dog but also pet sitting for my friends and family. I am incredibly reliable and my top priority is always keeping your pets safe and comfortable. I am also super active and absolutely love going on long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fun outdoor time with me! I currently work a part-time job, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. I am always free in the early mornings to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, and fresh air before my day starts. Depending on the day of the week, I am also available for evening visits, dinner feedings, and nighttime care. When caring for your pet in your home, safety is my absolute highest priority. I treat your home with total respect and strictly follow all entry, feeding, and care instructions. During our walks, I keep dogs on a secure, short leash, stay highly alert to our surroundings, and make sure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise while staying completely safe.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and I currently have three rescue dogs of my own! I rescued my first dog, Mia, while I was in college, adopted my second, Poppy, last year, and recently welcomed our third rescue after she was found abandoned in a field. Having three dogs with different personalities and backgrounds has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different temperaments, energy levels, routines, and needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to take the time to learn what makes your dog feel happiest and most comfortable. Whether your dog needs a good walk to get some energy out, a quick potty break during the workday, some extra playtime, or simply company and attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own dogs. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and always happy to send plenty of photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for! 🐾 I’m a real estate agent, which means I have a very flexible schedule and work from home often! This gives me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, check-ins, or just hanging out and keeping your pets company. My schedule allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine, and I love having an excuse to spend even more time with animals! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet may need. I’m also happy to spend extra time giving them attention, playing, or just keeping them company! I know every pet has their own personality and preferences, so I’ll always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

As a teenager I didn't always understand the responsibility and caring of a dog , however Phoebe always loved me, even when she was diagnosed with cancer and not having some good days. Every time I came home there she was so happy to see me. It was then I realized there is no love like a dogs love. Years have passed and so has Phoebe but she was my first dog and I will always cherish that. I now have three golden retriever fur babies. I adore them and love taking care of them even though they really take care of me. I love all dogs and being active so dog walking feels like a great fit!

About: I have had the pleasure to work with animals since the beginning of high school when I first began pet sitting. This is when I discovered my loving for caring for pets and homes when family where out of town or simply need someone to check in through out the day. As a college student pet care fits into my schedule perfectly to where I can tend to pets needs in between classes and not have any time strenuous obligations that interfere with my pet care. When watching over a family’s pet and home I consider the love and care they treat these things with and the hard work that has bought them these things. When thinking of this I to continue to have the same respect for those cherished items.

Dogs/cats are allowed on my bed or couch if that is the life they are used to. If not I will respect that and have comfy dog beds or rugs they can lay on. If your animal feels most safe in a crate I will crate them when I leave or at night. I will be sure to create a safe environment that your pet is accustomed too!

“Diane stood out to me because of her wonderful reviews and the fact that she had multiple repeat family's that trusted her with their dogs. This was the first time anyone would be taking care of a dog of mine outside of family or friends so I was worried to find the right person and unsure about a stranger taking care of my "child" but when I met Diane I felt so comfortable that my Phoebe was in safe hands and that she understood her needs and would care for her like a member of her own family. It's clear immediately how much Diane loves / has a passion for dogs and is a very caring / welcoming person. This was also the first time I would be away from my girl so I appreciated so much the frequent updates from Diane and that Diane took the time to understand Phoebe's personality and I felt she listened to my concerns and reassured me about anything and I knew my Phoebe was in great hands and also having such a fun time. Thank you to Diane for taking such good care of my girl and welcoming her into your home for the weekend .”
“This was the first time having to leave my dog with a sitter so I was apprehensive but didn’t have a choice. Sarah was fantastic! She would provide updates and send pictures. I thought my dog adopted a new family and wouldn’t want to come home (thankfully he did)! I would certainly go back to Sarah if I needed dog sitting services again!”
“Carey was literally amazing, I am so happy she was able to take my dogs for a night on a day of request. Seriously so sweet with the sweetest kids that played and loved on my pups for a night. No complaints and so happy to have found her!!!”

“Gabrielle and Family were awesome with our dogs. She reached out with questions, frequently sent pictures and we could tell they were very well cared for and loved. They looked very happy in all the pictures she sent. We will definitely use her next time we go out of town.”
“Jenn was amazing! We took a beach vacation from out of town and our rental did not allow dogs. It was such a peace of mind to know that Charlotte was being taken care of so close by. Jenn sent us a lot of updates and pictures and was very responsive. Highly highly recommend!”
“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!”
“So thankful for Ashley & Her family, they took great care of our pup. We were so nervous leaving him for the first time but after dropping him off we knew he was in great hands, she provided much appreciate photos and updates throughout the several days. We wouldn’t hesitant to leave our puppy with them again in the future!”
“Morton and I thank all of you for taking care of him while I had to be away. Given that he was rescued to begin with, he tends to be anxious when facing new places and people. You handled him well and I was pleased to see that he was not anxious when he returned to me.”
