About: I’ve had animals since I was a kid and always enjoyed taking care of them! It’s very rewarding for me. In my early 20s I was a dog trainer I’m a stay at home dad. We have a 10 and a 5 year old. I take walks throughout the day and between my wife someone is always home unless we are taking the kids somewhere. If they like the car and the park I can even take them with me! I walk a lot and am outside with my kids throughout the day. My kids love dogs so they will be showered with love and cuddles (if they enjoy that).
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets for family and friends! I’ve worked previously in a dog daycare/boarding and have knowledgeable skills in caring for animals! I have experience in caring for pets of all ages and even performing some grooming services, such as baths, and nail trims. I currently work in vet med and have experience noticing any abnormalities in dog behavior or health. I currently work full-time, however I make time to make sure all pets in my care are physically exercised and mentally stimulated. Both of which are very important to me. I try to give the pets in my care a wonderful time with lots of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation! They will also receive a lot of hugs and cuddles while they are here!
“Jay was great watching Zoey. He provided lots of pics and updated us on her daily. At Jay's house the dogs are like family and fit right in. We will definitely be using Jay again!”
About: You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, bird, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking / cat sitting company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog walking and sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My last dog, Wendell, was a 150 lb. mastiff whom I adopted when he was 4.5 years old. He had never been socialized and was scared of most people, so in the six years we were together, I gained a lot of first-hand experience working through behavioral issues in a very large and strong breed. Our current dog is Lucy, a happy-go-lucky bull terrier who is deaf. She loves every living being! I’m also comfortable taking care of cats and other pets. My experience administering medication: I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m typically available any day of the week and can do early mornings and late evenings if needed. Let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate! We have a secure, fenced yard, a doggie door, and a covered back patio with doggie beds perfect for lounging in the sun or shade. We also have a friendly bull terrier who will happily keep your dog company! We can easily keep your dog in a separate room while we are away from the house if you prefer. Lucy’s dad/my significant other, Pedro, also lives here and also loves animals.
“This was our first time using Rover and it definitely won’t be our last. Raquel was fantastic! She sent pictures and updates to reassure us that our baby was in great hands while we were gone. Her kids treated our pup like he was their own. We will absolutely stay in touch with Raquel!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kings Grant
“After my first visit to Julia's house, speaking with her, and seeing her great fenced yard and the way her home is set up, I am so comfortable with leaving our pup Annabelle in Julia's hands. We did one day of doggy day care because I'm a nervous dog momma who wanted to make sure it was going to work out before leaving Annabelle overnight for an upcoming trip we have. She came home tired and very happy!!! I Ioved getting to see pics of how much fun she was having with her new dog friends running and playing. I am confident she felt so loved throughout the day. We will definitely take her to Julia's again!”
“Steven and his family did a fantastic job caring for my pup! Walks, play and he even gave him a bath after a long day of play. Steven was very cordial, prompt and sent some pics throughout the day!”
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
“Cara got some very good exposure to calm larger dogs and it was a positive experience! A nice walk at Long Leaf Park with Buddy was a great thing for her to do. Thank you Allie!”
About: I have 3 dogs at home that range in size and personality! I love all animals and have pet sit for friends on multiple occasions! (: I am currently a college student, but I am only working 18 hours this summer (with one class). Currently, I am working mondays 9-3, wednesdays 8-2, and thursdays 8-1:30. I have a fenced yard for all 3 of my dogs since they are very active. I usually follow a feeding schedule (2 times a day). All of my dogs are very diverse in size so I can handle small to large dogs when doing tasks such as bathing!
“Colby & Debbie are wonderful to work with. They take great care of my puppy & always send plenty of photos to ease my mind. They have so kindly adapted to her little puppy needs & pay close attention to how she is feeling. I look forward to bringing her to their home because I know that Albie will have a blast being loved all day & playing with their pups while I also can focus on work without worrying. They are wonderful & I absolutely trust their care!”
About: I’m new to ROVER, but a huge lover of all animals and especially dogs ! I have had the joy of caring for my own Golden Retrievers for over 20 years, training and watching them grow from playful pups to aging seniors. Have also fostered two wonderful St Bernards for five fun filled loving years. My latest love is my Mini Cavadoodle - Mable, who is my only dog at home currently . The experience from them all, taught me a lot about the many needs of dogs at every stage of their life. Whether its an energetic puppy or a more laid back senior , I’m always patient, calm and ready to meet each dogs unique personality. I genuinely love dogs of all sizes and breeds, and treat them just like family, and would love the chance to offer your dog the same loving and thoughtful care that I give my own. Currently, I am only accepting Doodle Dogs of all ages and sizes, however, will consider other types and sizes upon request and approval. We do have two cats at home that are very accustomed to all types of dogs. If I show that I’m booked on a time that you need , please still inquire because my situation may be able to accommodate. Meet and Greets are mandatory for the happiness of your pets and mine, as I like to take the time to get to know each dog’s unique routine and love finding out their quirks! Vaccinations must also be up to date. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and will keep you updated with texts and pictures throughout their stay . —— I am open to considering other types, sizes & situations . If I didnt mention your specific need - just ask ! I work remotely, so I am home a lot during the day for walks, playtime and companionship. And am happy to take them to dog parks or to the beach to walk the loop - or any of their necessary appointments, all based on your request and approval. Located in the desirable Eastwood Road/Mayfaire area of Wilmington, just minutes from Wrightsville Beach and within walking distance of Port City Community Church (PC3). Conveniently located near Mayfaire shopping and dining, Airlie Gardens, UNCW, and only a short drive to the beach . My pets are never unsupervised outdoors and are strictly leash-walked for all their needs. The neighborhood is a great low traffic area for long walks .

“5 stars aren't enough to express my appreciation for Jennifer's loving care of Dusty.

About: Reliable and attentive professional dog sitter dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and stress-free care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Experienced in daily routines including feeding, walking, administering medications, and maintaining consistent schedules to keep pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Known for a calm, patient approach and strong attention to detail, I focus on building trust with both dogs and their owners. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra support, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and a clean, secure environment so owners can have complete peace of mind. Passionate about animal wellbeing and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I have decided to make caring for pets my full time job. I am single and live alone with my 2 yr old female pupper. We have plenty of time to make your fur babies feel how special they actually are. I have a small fenced in yard. If it's nice out then I like to leave it open so they have free reign. My place is small so I'm always near. I will only accept pets that get along with other dogs. It starts with my dog, Kaiya. She gets along with all dogs so if a dog has a problem with her then they won't be invited for doggy day care. However, that does not mean I cannot pay a visit to your house for any needs. I can also crate any dog that is better suited for that environment. Safety for all pups under my watch is the number one priority.
“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.

Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved.

About: I have taken care of my family's pets since I was very young and have always been such an animal lover.

“Lacey is fabulous! He is polite, patient, and flexible. He walked my 89 year old mother’s dog and handled her constantly changing requests with grace and kindness. Her old dog adapted quickly to his visits and waited by the door for him to arrive. He arrived on time for every walk, printed out the schedule for my mom who forgets things, and was just all-around wonderful. I highly recommend him and thank him for everything he has done.”
“Elizabeth is amazing!! She has been walking my dog for a week, helping me out on my longer work days. She already treats my dog (and cat when she makes an appearance!) as if she was her own. She provides great pictures and updates from their short time together. I am grateful to have found her. Maple is already excited for their next adventure!”
“Sophia was awesome with our babies! She walked all 3 (40-60 lbs each) and not only gave the best recap for us to read, but sent some of the cutest pictures of each pup individually. Highly recommend!!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and dog caregiver, I've developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. My experience ranges from caring for playful puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. I prioritize each dog's well-being, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, socialization, and affection. Whether it's daily walks, playtime at the park, or administering medications, I approach every task with patience and love. My commitment is to create a safe and enjoyable environment for every furry friend I care for. I am currently a college student, I have plenty of time throughout my day before, in between, and after classes to care for your pup!

“Christa was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I got so lucky that she’s so awesome. Ross got some great walkies in and I loooooved getting the report cards. Highly recommend her and I would wholeheartedly book with her again”
“5+ Stars for Allie and her son, who were amazingly flexible with fitting my furbaby into their schedule on a last-minute emergent need that I had. They showed up every day on time and followed my worried-mama intructions to the letter, LOL! Koda was very happy with their care, and I would use them again without a doubt.”
About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.

“Steven really helped me out in a pinch when we had to go out of town suddenly. He welcomed our crew of four into his home, including our special needs dachshund whom his youngest son fell in love with him. I would definitely use Steven again. Thanks”
“Outstanding service! Carey updated us everyday with photos of our boy and asked many questions on our pups character/needs. We will definitely be returning to her. If you need someone to care for your pup, look no further!”
“Olivia and Andrew were great! Olivia sent photos of Cora every day while we were away. She had a nice visit with them. We’ve definitely booking with them again!”
“Cosette was great! My dog is like my child, so I was a little hesitant to try something new, but I’m so glad I did! My dog, Cash, seemed to have a great time, and was super comfortable very quickly. I appreciated the videos and pictures I was sent throughout his stay, it made any nerves I had ease. Cash will definitely be back to stay, and I’m sure he will be looking forward to it.”
“Josephine was very accomodating for our last minute dogsitting needs Thanksgiving weekend. She took great care of Lucy who loved playing with Roxy! We appreciate her patience and love she gave our anxious dog.”
About: I’ve had animals since I was a kid and always enjoyed taking care of them! It’s very rewarding for me. In my early 20s I was a dog trainer I’m a stay at home dad. We have a 10 and a 5 year old. I take walks throughout the day and between my wife someone is always home unless we are taking the kids somewhere. If they like the car and the park I can even take them with me! I walk a lot and am outside with my kids throughout the day. My kids love dogs so they will be showered with love and cuddles (if they enjoy that).
“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!”
“Jay was great watching Zoey. He provided lots of pics and updated us on her daily. At Jay's house the dogs are like family and fit right in. We will definitely be using Jay again!”
About: You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, bird, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking / cat sitting company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog walking and sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My last dog, Wendell, was a 150 lb. mastiff whom I adopted when he was 4.5 years old. He had never been socialized and was scared of most people, so in the six years we were together, I gained a lot of first-hand experience working through behavioral issues in a very large and strong breed. Our current dog is Lucy, a happy-go-lucky bull terrier who is deaf. She loves every living being! I’m also comfortable taking care of cats and other pets. My experience administering medication: I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m typically available any day of the week and can do early mornings and late evenings if needed. Let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate! We have a secure, fenced yard, a doggie door, and a covered back patio with doggie beds perfect for lounging in the sun or shade. We also have a friendly bull terrier who will happily keep your dog company! We can easily keep your dog in a separate room while we are away from the house if you prefer. Lucy’s dad/my significant other, Pedro, also lives here and also loves animals.
“This was our first time using Rover and it definitely won’t be our last. Raquel was fantastic! She sent pictures and updates to reassure us that our baby was in great hands while we were gone. Her kids treated our pup like he was their own. We will absolutely stay in touch with Raquel!”
“Hilary took such great care of our girl! Sadie has a lot of quirks and takes time to warm up and Hilary was patient and understanding. I had a lot of peace of mind while we were away on our trip knowing she was well taken care of!”
“Coco loved staying with Ben and his family for 6 days while we went away. She’s used to having a busy family around her and loves people, so the situation was perfect with their 3 sweet boys to play with her and give her love and attention. Such a nice family, great with dogs, and very trustworthy. Ben’s wife sent me pictures and updates on Coco and also got a tick off of her! I already knew she was in good hands, but felt even more reassured by the occasional communication. I’m so happy we didn’t have to board Coco and will definitely be requesting Ben’s services again!”
About: I know you’ve heard the same story on here just with a different name attached to it. So I’ll save you the “I’ve been around animals my entire life speech”. If you entrust me with your animals, I will care for them as if they were my own. You’ll never have to question whether they’re being loved, well cared for, and thoroughly spoiled. I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and punctuality, so you’ll always know your pets are safe and happy. From consistent updates to dependable care, your animals will always be treated with the attention, comfort, and affection they deserve. They truly couldn’t be in better hands. I work a full time job but it is a split schedule so my availability is different than the standard fri-sun availability that comes with having a full time job. I provide attentive, in-home pet care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication support, litter box cleaning, and companionship, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, giving updates and plenty of love along the way.
“Traveling from out of state for our granddaughter’s wedding, we did not know anyone to watch our 1 year old Maltipoo. Matt and Louise were wonderful to work with, very accommodating with coordinating times for wedding festivities and took great care of our family pet. Thank you for easing our anxiety leaving our little guy at your home.”
