Andrew and Erin, I’ve been the best pet sitters we could ask for! Our little multi-Pooh, Chloe, absolutely loves them, and has a great time with them! They are very communicative, kind and send lots of pictures and updates. It makes leaving her so much easier knowing that she’s having a great time while I’m gone.

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.

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.

Olivia is wonderful. She took great care of our 17-year-old cockapoo Simba (also gave her Meds daily). She was very responsive and communicated with us daily, sending us daily photos of Simba’s adventures. Her home has a good setup for dogs with a fenced back yard. I highly recommend Olivia to care for your dog! I will certainly utilize Olivia in the future if needed.

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.

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!

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.

I left my Mini Aussie Doodle with Robert for a 4 day trip out of town. He was very nice and paid special attention to not let Lynus eat the other dogs food. I was nervous about him coming home with diarrhea like the last time I left him with someone, but Robert was really great. I will use him again if needed and I believe Lynus had a great time! He sent pictures everyday and I really appreciated that. Thank you Robert!

Carey was the absolute best dog sitter I could ever ask for!! She was so so helpful and patient and made me feel so at ease taking care of my high-energy German Shepherd, Lady. It’s always a bit nerve-racking to leave your dog with someone new, and especially so when your dog is a handful like my Lady! But Carey truly went above and beyond my expectations, and even when Lady had some frustrating anxiety issues, Carey took care of it without complaint, which seriously meant the world to me. She also sent me lots of photos every day and kept me super updated!! Book Carey for your next dog sitter and you will be so glad you did!!

She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond when I thought my door was unlocked while I was away, coming back to make sure my pets and my home were secure. Would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for your pets like they would.

About: Hi! My name is Haleigh and I am an animal lover! I have been taking great care of other people's pets for about 10 years now, and I absolutely love doing it. I have had dogs my whole life on top of my experience pet-sitting, so I understand most of their needs and how to take exceptional care of them. I understand that these are not just pets, they are family members, and I always intend to treat them just as that. 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. I can also crate your dog or dogs if needed.

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.

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. I’m home full-time, seven days a week, so I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care and plenty of attention. 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. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their space clean and secure. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a welcoming, safe environment where they’ll enjoy lots of love, playtime, and supervision. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel at home and well cared for. I have two friendly dogs who love to play and make new friends!

I can also crate your dog or dogs if needed.

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.

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. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!

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

I can be very flexible with when you need me and I promise I will treat your animals as I would my own! I am currently working part time right now, so I can definitely be flexible with hours that fit your schedule. If you need me a day or night, I can be there to help with your animals!

My two dogs Lulu and Fez are sweethearts, and they have always gotten along with any dog or cat that I’ve brought over to the house.

About: For the past four years, I’ve been managing life with Piper, my anxious Chihuahua mix, and Tux, my blind cat who navigates like he has sonar. They’ve taught me how to keep pets calm, confident, and on a solid routine no matter what challenges they have. I’m a college student and veteran, so my schedule is pretty flexible when I’m not in class. I’m usually available for walks, drop‑ins, or sitting throughout the week, and I plan my study time around pet care. I keep a steady routine with my own pets, and it’s easy for me to fit in extra visits or longer stays when needed. I focus on creating a calm, safe space for every pet. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to small behavior changes. In a client’s home, I use gentle handling, clear communication, and maintain a predictable environment so pets feel secure and supported.

About: Disclaimer: I am currently in Idaho until September 13th. Hi! My name is Isabelle, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs and spent much of my childhood riding horses, so being around animals has always felt like second nature to me. I also have two dogs of my own at home that I absolutely love, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I bring over five years of hands-on veterinary experience, including working in a 24/7 emergency and specialty animal hospital in Boise, ID, where I worked primarily with dogs and cats. I started in the Emergency Room as a Technician Assistant, helping with patient care, administering medications, assisting with radiographs, collecting samples, and ensuring every pet received compassionate, high-quality treatment. I was later promoted to a Veterinary Assistant in the Cardiology department, where I assisted with advanced procedures such as echocardiograms, ECGs, blood pressure monitoring, placing heart monitors, etc. I also educated clients on heart conditions, managed medical records, and ensured accurate care for every patient. In addition to my veterinary background, I have previous pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and even chickens. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication administration, exercise needs, and providing attentive, reliable care while you’re away. A few months ago, I relocated from Boise, ID, and I’m excited to continue working with pets in this new community! My medical background allows me to confidently care for pets with special needs, administer medications, and recognize when something may be off. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, or extra support due to medical needs, you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in experienced and loving hands. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Since I recently moved to the area and am currently looking for a veterinary position, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for other pets as well. I’m excited to meet new pets, build relationships with their owners, and provide reliable, attentive care. In my home, I care for two dogs of my own, so daily pet care is already a big part of my routine. I make sure they get regular meals, fresh water, daily exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also keep a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime to help pets feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely so their pet can stay on their normal schedule and be as comfortable as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away by keeping their routine consistent and giving them lots of attention.

After my kids grew up and moved out and the last of our fur babies passed I decided to spend my time enjoying others dogs like my grandbabies and giving them back! I still love dogs and being around them would enjoy helping with your needs. Long walks or short walks I usually walk 5miles everyday either way.

About: Hi! My name is Haleigh and I am an animal lover! I have been taking great care of other people's pets for about 10 years now, and I absolutely love doing it. I have had dogs my whole life on top of my experience pet-sitting, so I understand most of their needs and how to take exceptional care of them. I understand that these are not just pets, they are family members, and I always intend to treat them just as that. 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. I can also crate your dog or dogs if needed.

They’re welcome on the furniture, in the bed, and anywhere else that makes them feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

About: I’m an animal loving teacher and I'd love to put my time to good use doing what I love this summer. I love walking and running and would love to take your dog along! I’m a huge cat fan as well! I have many years of experience taking care of the pets of friends, family and neighbors. References available upon request. I’m extremely responsible, neat and energetic. I have had a dog with diabetes so I'm experienced and comfortable in administering insulin and other medications. I am extremely trustworthy as any background check can prove. I have a much loved dog and cats myself so I know how much your pets mean to you. It would be a load off of your mind to have me taking care of them for you. Please contact me so I can meet you and your cherished pet as soon as possible. I would love to answer any of your questions.. I'm currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur baby! I am able to do as many drops ins as necessary to keep your pet company while you're gone. I have a fenced yard and three friendly cats. I have two extra bedrooms to crate your dog if needed or to separate any kitty that doesn't play well with others.

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.

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.

Andrew and Erin, I’ve been the best pet sitters we could ask for! Our little multi-Pooh, Chloe, absolutely loves them, and has a great time with them! They are very communicative, kind and send lots of pictures and updates. It makes leaving her so much easier knowing that she’s having a great time while I’m gone.

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.

Olivia is wonderful. She took great care of our 17-year-old cockapoo Simba (also gave her Meds daily). She was very responsive and communicated with us daily, sending us daily photos of Simba’s adventures. Her home has a good setup for dogs with a fenced back yard. I highly recommend Olivia to care for your dog! I will certainly utilize Olivia in the future if needed.

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.

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!

Sarah was a fabulous sitter. My puppy was very happy and well cared for by Sarah and her boys. She came home worn out. Sarah was very flexible with pick up and drop off and sent photos during my puppy’s stay. I will definitely be using her next time I need a dog sitter. She is a very kind soul.

I left my Mini Aussie Doodle with Robert for a 4 day trip out of town. He was very nice and paid special attention to not let Lynus eat the other dogs food. I was nervous about him coming home with diarrhea like the last time I left him with someone, but Robert was really great. I will use him again if needed and I believe Lynus had a great time! He sent pictures everyday and I really appreciated that. Thank you Robert!

Carey was the absolute best dog sitter I could ever ask for!! She was so so helpful and patient and made me feel so at ease taking care of my high-energy German Shepherd, Lady. It’s always a bit nerve-racking to leave your dog with someone new, and especially so when your dog is a handful like my Lady! But Carey truly went above and beyond my expectations, and even when Lady had some frustrating anxiety issues, Carey took care of it without complaint, which seriously meant the world to me. She also sent me lots of photos every day and kept me super updated!! Book Carey for your next dog sitter and you will be so glad you did!!

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 :)

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!

Haley and her sweet daughter entertained my puppy really well during a short stay. He was on the last two days of his neutering care and she still accepted the job. He was fine at pickup as well. I appreciated the frequent communication and photos. And Haley took the time to find an item at the grocery store that he might like since he was being a picky eater and reviewed it with me. I had peace of mind during my work retreat in knowing that my puppy was in great hands.

Scout our Australian Shepard/English Setter who is 1 1/2 yrs old had a Great time with Steven, Brittany and family. He also enjoyed the companion of the other dog being Boarded there this weekend. They followed the routine we use at home as far as staying off furniture unless on my lap and giving him his blanket and chewey toy and a milkbone after his last potty break for the night. He enjoyed the walks and all the attention he recieved. We loved the pictures and updates each day we were gone. I have all ready booked another visit in Oct. when we have to travel to PA. This is a Great Rover.com family boarding home.
