“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.”

“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 !”

“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!”

“Stella took great care of my girls (a Boston terrier and a “Velcro” Dalmatian) for a week. It was a last minute booking and she communicated so promptly and professionally. She even offered a meet and greet which made me feel even more comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. Stella had a great yard for them to play in, and updated us with pictures and videos nearly everyday! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter that they can trust and feel like their babies were made feel right at home! Thank you Stella!”

“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!”


“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!”

“I really appreciate Danielle keeping Buster and Dakota. She was so sweet she sent me pictures and messages on them. It really helped me knowing that they were doing well. It was a relief knowing that they were happy. I’d recommend her for your pets.”

“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!”

“If I could leave more stars I would, I can not recommend Kyle enough! Our pups stayed for a week and had a blast. Kyle kept in contact with updates, brought them to see us (we were local to a fun spot for them to try the beach out), and he took wonderful care of our puppies. If you need a sitter in the area, I would definitely recommend going with Kyle!”

“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!”

“Lara took wonderful care of our little Teddy! He got plenty of attention and loving from her and her sweet children. I appreciated that she sent pictures and texts to let me know that he was adjusting and doing well!”


“Demetri had a great stay with Taylor & his family. It was his first visit and highly successful. I would recommend Taylor for your dog. He provides a safe, positive environment. We'll book with him again.”

“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!”


“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!”

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.

“Jennifer was wonderful from the moment we reached out to see if she was available to watch Clark. She responded quickly, took the time to ask about his care needs, and genuinely wanted to know how she could best support him during his stay. From the very beginning, she gave us confidence that he would be in excellent hands. When we dropped Clark off, Jennifer was warm, welcoming, and made sure we felt completely at ease. She kept her promise by sending regular updates and photos throughout his stay, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that she treated Clark like one of her own and made him feel right at home. Jennifer truly followed through on everything she said she would do, and we could tell Clark had a wonderful time with her. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter who communicates exceptionally well and provides outstanding care.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. Growing up, our family always had dogs and cats, and as an adult, I’ve had the privilege of caring for two blind rescue dogs, as well as my current lovable 16-pound Aussiedoodle, Zoey. Zoey lives with me and gets along well with other dogs. For the past 2½ years, I’ve owned and operated a dog-walking and cat-care business, caring for a variety of neighborhood pets. My experience includes three 19-year-old cats, two medium and large Doodles, a Dachshund I’ve cared for since he was just 10 weeks old, and dogs of many different mixed breeds, ages, and personalities. My approach is to always let the animal lead. Both of my rescue dogs came from very difficult circumstances, and I learned how important patience, trust, and a sense of safety are. Rather than expecting an animal to immediately feel comfortable with me, I give them the time and space they need to open up on their own. With a calm, loving, and safe environment, that trust usually begins to develop naturally. I’m especially comfortable with animals who may be shy, fearful, cautious, or unsure of strangers. I take a very gentle approach, allowing them to get to know me at their own pace. Once they feel safe and comfortable, that’s when the magic unfolds! I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, whether that means sleeping in a crate at night or curling up on the bed. I live in a first-floor apartment facing a nice open green space, which makes it easy to provide frequent potty breaks and neighborhood walks. With pet-parent permission, it’s my norm to send daily updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m also comfortable administering medications and handling foods that require refrigeration or freezing. I watch dogs who are 1-25 lbs. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and needs. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet! I am currently retired so I am home most of the day/night. I live with my 16 lb non-shedding Aussie doogle dog, Zoey. I may step out to run errands, go to an appointment, other, but am otherwise at home. I allow dogs to sleep on my bed or stay in a crate at night, per pet parents wishes. If you are traveling and require a pick up after 6 pm just let me know so we can work something out. I live in an apartment on the first floor, so I have easy access to let dogs out for potty breaks as I face an open green space. I live in a safe community with plenty of sidewalks and street lighting. I often walk my dog clients in the morning when it is cool outside, so they can get adequate exercise. On rainy days, I like to occupy your pet with tug-o-war, or a treat-kong, or playing with other toys. Please feel free to bring your dog's favorite toys.
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.”

“Abby did an awesome job watching our 2 cats! She was thorough with the reports and included pictures and videos of them while we were away. She also made sure that any of the messes the cats made were cleaned up too! I highly recommend her for watching your fur babies!”

“Milena was a great drop-in sitter for my cat. She kept me updated and sent pics at every visit. My cat can be shy at times but judging by the cute playing and snuggling pics my cat really liked Milena! I would highly recommend her”

“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 cats most of my life and have several years of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and following your cat’s normal routine while you’re away.

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.

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: Not your ordinary dog walk. I’m here to give your pup an hour of movement, exploration, sniffing, and enrichment, because a happy dog is a moving dog! Let’s go walk several miles! I am here to make your weekly routine easier! I will make sure that your dog is tired after getting the miles in. I am used to walking 4 to 6 miles with my own very high energy doggies. When your dog is on a walked leash with me, I will make sure that he or she is well taken care of. Movement is medicine and I will make sure that your dog has a lot of enrichment while we have outside time.
“Cosette is my go-to walker on Rover!!! Our pup is always taken care of and happy when she comes to walk him. We are so grateful for her flexibility, communication, and consistency!”

About: Hello! My name is Blaire and I love dogs and all animals have always had a special place in my heart. I would love to help you out with your pet.

About: I am a young adult with lots of experience with taking care of cats and dogs. I have grown up around them and I love to take care of them. My daily routine includes emptying litter boxes and sweeping litter off floors. I often accompany my dogs outside to make sure they did their business. I also feed each of my pets daily. While I do not have much experience outside my own home taking care of my pets, I know how to do so while making sure my clients and their pets are happy.
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: Horses. Currently have 2 horses and have been around them since I was 3. Have only had my 2 since 2010. Also have 2 dogs that were originally from the Wake County Animal Center and fostered by me and have experience administering medication as needed for multiple species. I have a rabbit, dove, cat, and chickens. I currently work full time as an Animal Health Care Technician so would be available for overnight care, evening and early morning walks. On days I am off I would be happy to do middle of the day walks and help as best as possible! I can easily crate your dog if needed but if you think they would be more comfortable at your house I can keep them in their own environment to be suit them! and you!

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 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 am currently working a part-time remote job, so I have a very flexible schedule. With a lot of free time, pet-sitting will definitely work well. 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!
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have been apart of the Rover community for around 5 years now. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you’re away! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! My attention is on my love for animals so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets.

About: I’ve cared for and owned animals of all kinds. I have experienced in Dog, Cat, and some reptile care. I promise to provide a safe environment for your pets while keeping open communication and providing regular updates. I’m currently a college student who is working part time in Wilmington. Due to that my availability is limited to Friday-Sunday anytime rain or shine For all clients I will provide the same level of care that i do for my own pets constant play, supervision, and potty breaks. For daycare clients my pets will be out of the home. I also have access to 7 acres for your dogs to roam and play in (supervised and on leash) and an already pet proofed home.
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!

“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.”

“Again the absolute best person in the world to take care of our son we were gone for 2 weeks this time and I had no worries now the only problem is he's so attached to her children that he said for 3 days whenever you bring him home thank you again to Kim and her family for taking such good care of teddy bear”

“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 !”

“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!”

“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!”


“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!”

“I really appreciate Danielle keeping Buster and Dakota. She was so sweet she sent me pictures and messages on them. It really helped me knowing that they were doing well. It was a relief knowing that they were happy. I’d recommend her for your pets.”

“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!”

“Haley is so wonderful and took great care of Charlie! Appreciate her flexibility with logistics and the sweet updates she sent of Charlie loving life with her new little friend 💛”

“If I could leave more stars I would, I can not recommend Kyle enough! Our pups stayed for a week and had a blast. Kyle kept in contact with updates, brought them to see us (we were local to a fun spot for them to try the beach out), and he took wonderful care of our puppies. If you need a sitter in the area, I would definitely recommend going with Kyle!”

“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’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’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of animals, and I always want to make sure I know your pet and their routine before you leave. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, watching them at my home for the day, house sitting at your home, etc. I pay close attention to things like feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, doors and gates, and any little details that are important to you. I will do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable and safe while you’re away! Just a heads-up, I do have a cat at home, so any pets staying at my house would need to be comfortable around cats.

“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!”

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.

“Jennifer was wonderful from the moment we reached out to see if she was available to watch Clark. She responded quickly, took the time to ask about his care needs, and genuinely wanted to know how she could best support him during his stay. From the very beginning, she gave us confidence that he would be in excellent hands. When we dropped Clark off, Jennifer was warm, welcoming, and made sure we felt completely at ease. She kept her promise by sending regular updates and photos throughout his stay, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that she treated Clark like one of her own and made him feel right at home. Jennifer truly followed through on everything she said she would do, and we could tell Clark had a wonderful time with her. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter who communicates exceptionally well and provides outstanding care.”

“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 :)”
