Highly-rated overnight sitters - Winnabow
“Kaylah was awesome. She sent photos of our dog while we were on vacation and let us know Hattie was doing great. We appreciated the great communication from her as it calmed our nerves as this was the first time we had boarded Hattie. She has a big yard and lots of toys for the dogs to play with. We appreciated everything she did and will board Hattie with her again”
“Robert and his wife were absolutely amazing! It was obvious that the love dogs and our pup Sammy automatically became part of their family while he was there.. Communication was great with lots of pictures and updates. I felt so comfortable I was able to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pup was is great hands. Sammy was very happy there and will definitely be coming back!!!”
“Took care of Lupe on a 14 day trip. Lupe is a little older and a wheaten terrier. Sometimes with an older dog and a little terrier in her, she could be a little quirky. But Taylor and his family accommodated Lupe very nicely and I am very grateful to have had their service and allowed their home for Lupe to stay as I had to travel for work.”
“Andrew is an excellent dog sitter, highly recommended. He took great care to keep us informed with updates and photos of our dog. He was understanding of flight delays and plans changing to make for a stress free vacation. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Rachel could not have been more caring. Oliver enjoy his time with Rachel and loved his playtime. She was so thoughtful to send pics and videos of her stay with Oliver.”
“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!”
“Kate was very friendly and we did a meet and greet ahead of our actual trip to meet her and also see how our dog got along with Lucy, Kate's dog. She also had last minute availability for Thanksgiving weekend, since I made our plans last minute. She sent lots of pictures so we could see that Maddie was doing fine and interacting with Lucy. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Olivia was so good and so patient with Finn. He has A LOT of energy and is still a puppy but she made me feel comfortable and I knew he would be safe and looked after. Thank you!!”
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.
“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!!!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“I couldn't be happier with the experience Maizey, Miles, and their nervous dog parents had with Yueqian. She was very friendly and confident with the dogs. She followed all of our somewhat odd feeding and medication instructions with no problems. Because we were staying nearby with a large group in a no pets rental, we had asked to take the dogs on outings throughout our stay. Yueqian was very accommodating. Maizey and Miles were always happy when we picked them up and happy to go back. I highly recommend Yueqian as a dog sitter and would definitely use her again.”
“Andrea was just wonderful! My dog Liza came home after two days and I swear she is homesick for Andrea’s dog Pepper and her lovely family. She sent photos and updates and we knew she was in great hands. Could not have been happier and Liza too!”
About: Hi! We’re Will and Sara; newly weds with a 1.5 year old Golden Retriever! We love to welcome in new dogs and help dog parents feel at ease knowing their dogs are taken care of! 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!
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. 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.
“Wonderful. Didn’t worry about my dog, not for a second. Got pictures/updates at least 1x/day. With Donna & Calvin, I know my dog will be loved, exercised, as well as well rested. Thank you both!”
“Kim is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! Very professional and sent awesome pictures the whole time we were away. I felt like Milo was in a relatives home :) Highly recommend!”

About: I adopted a kitten (or more so it adopted me) this year and I have quickly done extensive research and made efforts to be the best cat mom possible. I have a newfound love for cats and love to play with them when they want to, and give them their space when they want it.
“Siika was a wonderful sitter for our cat Marley! We needed her last-minute, and during a major holiday week, so she really came through! We got updates and photos from her daily, and she spent some extra time playing with Marley knowing we had just recently lost our other cat and this would be her first time solo. Everything was tidy when we got home, and Marley seemed happy and very well taken care of. We are so appreciative and would highly recommend Siika!”
“Erin was very thorough with taking care of our cats! Kept us updated when our one cat decided to be dramatic and not take her meds as she normally does and fret about her just as if she was her own!”
“Christy was amazing while she visited my cats. She took excellent care of them every time she came by and they absolutely loved her. 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.”
“Blanca was incredible. My cats loved her. She was punctual and professional. She went above and beyond playing with them. She even brought in my packages (which she didn't have to do, especially since they were heavy). I are so pleased and so grateful to her and Rover.”
“Alexandria is our go-to cat sitter! Our cat is super shy and can be very nervous around people however with Alexandria she instantly connected to her! We’re always happy with the pictures and reports we receive during the visit - we would recommend booking Alexandria to anyone who asks!”
“This was our first time using Jessica to drop in on our pups. She was great and the dogs seemed to love her! We were a bit concerned about having someone in our home while we weren't there, but Jessica helped alleviate those concerns during our scheduled meet and greet. I highly recommend Jessica and we will reach out to her again for future dog sitting services.”
“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!”
“We had a fantastic experience working with Kate who took care of our two cats. She was incredibly responsive when booking, coordinating the meet n' greet, and of course looking after them during the time we were gone!”
“Lexi did a great job watching Theo and Harvey! I really appreciated how thorough her preparation was to ensure the cats were taken care of. Additionally, her communication and pictures gave me peace of mind through the whole experience. I would definitely recommend Lexi!”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention, patience, and genuine love I bring to every visit. I don’t just feed and leave — I bond, play, groom, and create a calm, comfortable environment so your cat feels safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your kitty needs medication, a strict routine, or just extra cuddles, I’ve got it covered

My dogs love her, her boyfriend, and her sweet puppy, Theo. I would most definitely recommend. 10/10.”
“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! 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!”
“My pups-Mya and Manny are well taken care of each time they visit Julie’s! Manny went today and could not get to the front door fast enlargement he! Highly recommend!”

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.

“This was our first ever Rover experience and we’re so glad we chose Valerie to watch Winnie so we could do some sightseeing. She was so quick to reply, so flexible with times and above all, so so wonderful w Winnie.

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.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I'm very comfortable with big dogs as I've always had Golden Retrievers. 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. I'm not working anymore so this gives me something to do that I enjoy and not something I have to do but rather enjoy doing. My husband passed from cancer so I have alot of free time . I walked dogs at Canine for Service also and loved that. Overnights are welcome also. Walking, playing , potty breaks and feeding are very fitting for my schedule, I would come to you for your needs.
About: 🐾 Experienced, Loving Care for Dogs of Every Kind 🧡 For the past 10 years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and special care. 🐶 I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and am also experienced with beginning training and reinforcing good habits. Most importantly, I take a welcoming, trustworthy, and patient approach so every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup needs exercise, playtime, companionship, basic training, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat them like family while you’re away. 🧡🐕 🏡 Flexible, Dedicated Care for Your Fur Babies 🐾🧡 I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me the freedom to travel and work from anywhere. That flexibility means I can give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve not just a quick visit, but genuine care throughout the day. 🐶🐱 I’m also available for house sitting and extended pet-sitting stays, making me a great fit for longer trips, vacations, or times when your pets simply do best with someone around. My goal is to make your time away easier and give you peace of mind knowing your fur babies and your home are in caring, trustworthy hands. 🧡🐾 🐾 Active Adventures or Cozy Companionship—Whatever Your Pet Needs 🧡 I’m an active pet sitter who loves getting outside for walks, exploring, and little adventures that keep your pets happy, excited, and engaged. Whether your pup loves a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply discovering new smells along the way, I’m always happy to keep them moving and having fun! 🐶🌿 At the same time, I understand that not every pet is looking for an adventure. Some animals thrive in a calm, quiet environment where they can relax and feel secure. I’m happy to slow things down and give them all the patience, comfort, and one-on-one attention they need. 🐱🏡 Every pet is different, and I love meeting them where they are—whether that means adventure, playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm and caring presence. 🧡
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: I have grown up with dogs, cats, and horses. In addition to this, I am a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital. I have years of experience caring for animals, both within the Veterinary industry, and outside of. I'm currently a part-time worker, which gives me time to play with your pups (or kitties)! I can't wait to meet them and have the best time. I will ensure that your pet(s) are in safe hands and have food and water available. I will ensure they are walking on the proper leash and collar or harness, and I will make sure to crate them when I leave if applicable.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and thought this would be the perfect part-time position to be able to work with them! I use to house sit with 3 dogs and 3 cats when I was younger and also have 4 dogs myself so I am experienced with taking care of animals, I would love to start to build my clients so I can do this more! I’m a SAHM so I am very flexible with my time and can give your lovely fur babies exactly what they need throughout the day I will be very diligent in making sure they will be well taken care of during their walks and or check ins I will make sure they have plenty of time to let their energy out!
About: I have four cats and a german shepherd. I grew up having dogs and cats my whole life. I have raised kittens and bottle fed them and have experience with small dogs and very large dogs. I currently work full time monday- friday. I am available early mornings, I have an hour lunch break, and I am available after 3pm most days! I am free all day on the weekends. I can easily travel to care for your pets and do whatever is necessary to provide proper care! I cannot bring your pets to my home however I can transport them!

“Kaylah was awesome. She sent photos of our dog while we were on vacation and let us know Hattie was doing great. We appreciated the great communication from her as it calmed our nerves as this was the first time we had boarded Hattie. She has a big yard and lots of toys for the dogs to play with. We appreciated everything she did and will board Hattie with her again”
“Robert and his wife were absolutely amazing! It was obvious that the love dogs and our pup Sammy automatically became part of their family while he was there.. Communication was great with lots of pictures and updates. I felt so comfortable I was able to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pup was is great hands. Sammy was very happy there and will definitely be coming back!!!”

“Kate was very friendly and we did a meet and greet ahead of our actual trip to meet her and also see how our dog got along with Lucy, Kate's dog. She also had last minute availability for Thanksgiving weekend, since I made our plans last minute. She sent lots of pictures so we could see that Maddie was doing fine and interacting with Lucy. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Olivia was so good and so patient with Finn. He has A LOT of energy and is still a puppy but she made me feel comfortable and I knew he would be safe and looked after. Thank you!!”

“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 :)”
“I couldn't be happier with the experience Maizey, Miles, and their nervous dog parents had with Yueqian. She was very friendly and confident with the dogs. She followed all of our somewhat odd feeding and medication instructions with no problems. Because we were staying nearby with a large group in a no pets rental, we had asked to take the dogs on outings throughout our stay. Yueqian was very accommodating. Maizey and Miles were always happy when we picked them up and happy to go back. I highly recommend Yueqian as a dog sitter and would definitely use her again.”
“Andrea was just wonderful! My dog Liza came home after two days and I swear she is homesick for Andrea’s dog Pepper and her lovely family. She sent photos and updates and we knew she was in great hands. Could not have been happier and Liza too!”

“Kim is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! Very professional and sent awesome pictures the whole time we were away. I felt like Milo was in a relatives home :) Highly recommend!”
“Walker has some unexpected challenges while staying with Hilary and we felt that she navigated them well and also communicated them clearly. You don’t know what you don’t know sometimes! Our dog got plenty of exercise and playtime while there even though he had to stay crated more than usual. We were very pleased with Hilary!”
“Allie took such wonderful care of our puppies! She was very communicative and caring the whole time and really made me and my wife feel comfortable and allowed us to relax on our trip. She sent daily photos, videos, and updates and the pups seemed very welcomed and enjoying themselves. Definitely will be utilizing her specialties again in the future. Thank you Allie!”

“Highly recommend Kyle, he was very communicative and took very good care of our dogs. Our dogs were happy and tired out by pick up time, we will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Stephanie did a great job with Tyson! It was so much less stressful than using a kennel! We could tell Tyson felt right at home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Stephanie again! Thank you so much!”
“Diane and her family were AMAZING with Hank! They took great care of him. Diane sent daily updates and pictures, which is always nice when we're away from our dog. I highly recommend Diane and her family!”
“Valerie is amazing! We needed a sitter pretty last-minute for a 2 week trip and I am so glad we found her. She was super quick to reply to our inquiry, we had a meet & greet the next day and she was so good with our boy while we were gone. Our travel got a bit wonky so we ended up getting home 2 days later than anticipated, and she was great about keeping him an extra night and even brought him to our house for us. We got plenty of photos and videos, and he was clearly well-loved while we were away. I cannot recommend her enough!”
