“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!”

About: Having grown up on a farm, I have been around animals all my life. Currently, I live behind the university with my two cavaliers on a little less than an acre. My two are wonderful with other dogs and looking for some playmates. My fenced-in backyard makes for the perfect playground, and your dogs will be free to come and go as they please from inside to the fenced in area. I have boarded as many as 4 dogs at one time and have cared for senior dogs (18+). Reach out for information on boarding opportunities and/or for additional details. I am here full-time and available currently for boarding any time of the day as well as on weekends. I maintain full care of my two, so the more, the merrier! I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe and carefree playtime. My two dogs are very friendly and are sure to make for excellent playmates.
“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.”

“Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!”

About: I love caring for kitties!!! I have experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering oral medications if needed, and providing plenty of attention and playtime.

My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages while they’re away.

We appreciate Claire for dealing with the messes and keeping us updated on how she was feeling. We will definitely continue to use Claire for any drop in or over night stays we might need in the future.”

About: As a lifelong cat lover and current cat mom, I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your feline family. I’ve cared for cats of all personalities. Shy, playful, senior, and those with special routines or needs. With my own cat, I know how sensitive they can be to changes, so I prioritize keeping their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their trust earned gently. I’m experienced with litter box cleaning, feedings, medications (oral and topical), and of course, giving affection on your cat’s terms. Whether your kitty loves attention or just needs a quiet companion while you’re away, I treat every cat like they’re my own—because I know how much they mean to you.
“I rebooked with Olivia and she was amazing again! She gave my cat Leo lots of love and kept his litter box and food area clean! She is great at communicating, will definitely be rebooking with her again!”
About: I have experience with training puppies, and I’ve watched dogs from Dachshunds to Great Danes! I am a huge dog lover, and I’d love to spend time with yours while I miss mine back home! I am a student, so I will be gone for hours long periods throughout the day. However, this has not been an issue in the past! I follow every direction from the client, as they know their dog’s routine best. I love to spend personal time with the pets too, whether lounging on the couch or going for a walk!
About: I have taken care of cats for the past 5 years including those of co-workers, friends, and family! Ranging in age and breed, I have the ability to bond with cats and make sure they have their needs met. I have experience with cleaning both regular and electronic kitty litter boxes and engaging in active play with toys.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
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
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, play/exercise, bathe/groom, and love their pets while traveling, moving, or working. Are the morning walks not cutting it for your pup? Do they still have too much energy during the day? Now introducing “Dog Jogs!” Instead of a walk around the block, I will take your dog on a couple mile jog, solo or with other pups, to use up that puppy energy so they will sleep all day while you’re working. Additionally, I work from home and have plenty of time throughout the day for regular exercise and bathroom breaks. I live in a dog friendly community on the first floor with direct access to a large, grassy backyard. Your pet will be looked after at all times during the day, and would never be left alone. I do not have my own pets at this time, and your fur baby would receive all the love and attention it deserves.
“Our pup came home so tired from having so much fun! Really nice and accommodating. We will definitely use her again, we had peace of mind leaving our pup with her.”
“Taylor and his family were SO sweet and I could not be more grateful for them! Taylor sent lots of pictures and I could tell Beaux had a great time. We will definitely be booking with Taylor next time we’re in the area.”

About: I treat every pet as if they are my own. I have grown up with dogs and have my own. I’ll sent photos and updates and I am quick to respond. I work from home so I can hang out all day with them, take walks during the day, cuddles, play time, etc. I will make sure they are loved and taken care of.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young. I started caring for dogs and cats were neighbors, friends, and family around age 10, and have also gained around three years of professional experience working in dog boarding facilities. Through my experience, I have cared for puppies, senior pets, dogs of all sizes and personalities, cats, and multi pet households. I am comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, crate routines, senior care, and routine medication administration. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My background as a birth Doula has strengthened my patience, compassion, organization, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I bring those same qualities into pet care by providing dependable communication, attention to detail, and a calm presence for your pets while you’re away. I’m also a proud dog mom, and I know firsthand that pets are family. My goal is to treat every pet like my own while giving you peace of mind through reliable care, updates, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I truly enjoy being a part of my life. Because I work as a birth doula with a mix of scheduled and on-call availability, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, drop in visits, and companionship for your pets throughout the day or night. I am open about my availability and will always communicate my on-call dates with pet parents ahead of time. When I am available, I have the flexibility to dedicate quality time to your pets and provide reliable, attentive care. If a birth call overlaps with a booking, I will communicate as early as possible and make sure we have a clear plan in place. My goal is to create a dependable routine for your pets, while giving you peace of mind that they are cared for, loved, and never forgotten. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for your pets. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or providing visits, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, familiar environment, where they feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I believe consistency is key. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your space, keep your home, secure, and pay attention to the little details that help your pets to feel comfortable while you’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pets are happy and well cared for. For walks and drop in visits, I prioritize, safe handling, awareness of surroundings, and your pets individual needs and personality. I take the time to understand their routines, triggers, preferences, and comfort level before providing care. As an animal lover, pet parent, and experienced caregiver, I understand the trust involved in allowing someone to take care of your furry family members. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable experience that gives both you and your pets peace of mind.
“Valerie was wonderful with my pup. She sent updates and kept me informed as to how my pup did while he was with her. Her home and yard were safe and appropriate for pet sitting. I am very thankful that we found her to care for our boy.”
“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!”

I am happy to keep your pet in your home or mine! At home I have 1 cat currently, who is indoor/outdoor and doesn’t even flinch at even the biggest dog! I also have 3 kids, all who are avid pet lovers.
About: my name is Ryan, and I’m a social worker and work through Rover. I grew up around dogs my entire life, and I currrently have a dachshund mix that I adore and spoil. My goal is to make sure your dogs get the best care possible. Each dog is different, so if you have any special requests to best fit their individualized needs, please let me know. I love taking dogs to the beach, parks, and trails throughout Wilmington. My schedule is very flexible. Just let me know what works best for your schedule. And I will make sure I’m able to help with services. I make sure dogs feel comfortable and at home. If I notice they are stressed, I will sit with them for a few minutes and then take them on a walk to get some energy out. If there’s anything specific your dog likes to feel more comfortable, let me know and I’ll take that into consideration. I will also give them my 100 percent undivided attention and all the pets and belly rubs they want!
“Jessica & Kevin were fantastic! My dog came home super tired after playing with their dog all day. I Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my pup. 10 out of 10 recommended and will definitely be using again.”

About: Ive had dogs my entire life. I trained my puppy and adore all dog breeds. I love playing with dogs to wear them out and walking them to get exercise. I currently work 10 hours a week researching so i bace an incredibly flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and plenty of space and time for your pets.

The environment and pet dictate how I go about my rountine and care. I will care for the pet as if they are my own and wont even realize their pet owner is gone!
“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.”
About: I have loved animals my whole life & I would take care of yours like they’re my own. I have also been around a wide variety of animals, so I am fully aware of the responsibility it takes to care for them & capable to do it. I have an attention to detail & would make sure your pet is well cared for while you are away. I currently have two dogs of my own so I have some experience with giving medication as well as some training experience. I have no breed or size preference all I ask is no aggressive dogs/cats please! For the most part, I am extremely flexible. Therefore I will be able to be there for you & your pets when I am needed. I currently do not offer services in my home. However, if I am in your home I will use everything available to me to keep your pet entertained & happy.
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.

“Ross helped us out during a medical recovery when long walks weren't possible. Gunner loved his walks and Ross was kind and communicative. Would highly recommend and grateful for the connection for any future needs!”
About: Hi! I’m a Marine Biology student who loves animals and enjoys caring for pets. I have experience caring for my grandparents’ cats, working with cats at an SPCA, and looking after dogs for family and friends. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or just spending time with them, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. If I’m house sitting, I’ll also take great care of your home. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m currently a full time college student with a flexible schedule trying to fill some extra time up. I’m available fully on weekends and most weekdays after 12 pm.

Communication is also super important for me and I provide picture/video updates throughout the visit.
About: I truly LOVE animals, I’d adopt them all if I could. Whether I’m caring for energetic puppies, independent cats, or senior pets who need a little extra patience, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to their needs. I’ll also water your plants, bring in your mail, and send plenty of photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I’m new to rover but not to pet sitting :) I work full-time with a schedule that is typically either 7:00 AM–2:00 PM or 1:00 PM–9:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to spend quality time with pets before and after work, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I carefully consider my schedule before accepting bookings to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs and maintain their regular routine. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
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! I am currently on summer break and I have a good amount of free time and my schedule is pretty flexible! I am able to make time for your pup and prioritize their walks and activities throughout my day! In my home, my pets are treated like family. I ensure they have a safe, comfortable environment filled with love and attention. Each day begins with morning playtime and a nutritious meal tailored to their needs. I prioritize regular exercise through walks and play sessions, keeping their energy levels balanced. I focus on mental stimulation with interactive toys and training exercises, reinforcing positive behavior. Cleanliness is also essential; I maintain a tidy space for them and provide regular grooming. Above all, I foster a nurturing atmosphere, filled with cuddles and affection, ensuring my pets feel secure and happy.
“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!”
About: I’ve been both a dog owner and dog sitter ever since I was young! I love to take a spontaneous trip so I don’t have any pets of my own but I do enjoy pet sitting for others with my free time! My days and most nights are wide open due to my remote job. I am currently working part time and remotely so I am free most nights and days and available on short notice. Please give at least one day heads up. I am very respectful and quiet. I can stay at your home or come check in on the pets- whichever you prefer. I don’t have any pets currently.
About: I grew up working on a farm and have always had dogs in my life. I have a sweet goldendoodle of my own. I’ll also be starting grooming school shortly at CFCC! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Enjoy being outdoors and would love to meet some new furry friends to join me! I have extensive pet sitting experience and will love yours like my own. I prioritize being present with your pet and communicating if any questions arise. *I DO NOT ACCEPT RESERVATIONS AT HOTELS*
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!
About: My extensive experience caring for dogs since I was in high school has prepared me to take care of your pup(s). From waking up early in the morning to let outside, long walks to help unleash pent up energy, to shifting around in bed to make room for dogs to sleep with the pack - I am here to make sure your pup enjoys the stay away from home! I am taking the year off from work and have plenty of time to look after your pup(s). Recently moved to an apartment complex near Wrightsville Beach. I usually take my Rover pups on about five walks a day - so they get plenty of outside time and chances to meet other pups along the walkway. Dogs are welcome on my couches and bed. If you bring your pup's dog bed for their visit, I set it up by a window that looks onto Wrightsville Avenue so they can watch people and cars go by.
About: I am a teacher with plenty of spare time this summer! I am enjoying my much needed rest and relaxation, but I have so much extra energy! I hope I can provide your pet with the love and care they deserve! I grew up with dogs, as well as dog sitting for friends and family, including senior dogs and newborn puppies. More recently I have looked after dogs on Rover and have had nothing but positive experiences. I love taking care of animals and I have plenty of time to spare! I am a teacher, so over the summer I am available full time! I love going to the beach when I can, and taking long walks in the sun! I am very clean, so if you chose to have me come to your home it will be left nicer than it was when I arrived. I would love to be able to have pets come to me, but that is not currently an option.
About: I’ve taken care of my pet dogs and cat since I was a child and have pet sit for others since 2024. This has included following instructions such as giving them medication. I’m currently home for the summer a have a lot of free time. I’m available any day of the week, including on the weekends! I’m very organized and attentive, my eyes will always be on your pet when they’re in my care. I also make sure to follow instructions exactly.

About: Having grown up on a farm, I have been around animals all my life. Currently, I live behind the university with my two cavaliers on a little less than an acre. My two are wonderful with other dogs and looking for some playmates. My fenced-in backyard makes for the perfect playground, and your dogs will be free to come and go as they please from inside to the fenced in area. I have boarded as many as 4 dogs at one time and have cared for senior dogs (18+). Reach out for information on boarding opportunities and/or for additional details. I am here full-time and available currently for boarding any time of the day as well as on weekends. I maintain full care of my two, so the more, the merrier! I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe and carefree playtime. My two dogs are very friendly and are sure to make for excellent playmates.
“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.”
“Matt and Lou cared for Bogan over the weekend and they were kind and compassionate. We loved how welcoming they were of Brogan. They provided frequent updates to put our mind at ease. We have already booked Brogan’s second stay. I highly recommend them. Thank you, Matt and Lou!”
“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.”
“Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!”
“Gabrielle did a fantastic job with Jack. He was well cared for and she sent plenty of updates throughout our trip. We were slightly worried he wouldn't want to come home with us after all the fun at Gabrielle's home. 😊 Thankful we could relax knowing her family loved Jack like one of their own while we were out of town!”
“Archie always loves his time with Valerie! She always thoughtful updates/photos and has been very accommodating when we have had to change our pickup times due to travel issues. She is our preferred Wilmington sitter!”
“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!”
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! ONE DOG FAMILY AT A TIME Boarding and Doggie Day Care: It will only be your dog(s) and our one dog staying at our house. 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. Our friendly bull terrier, Lucy, 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.
“Another great stay at Kelly’s! Despite the rain, she was able to keep Dune busy and send me lots of photo updates which I appreciate! Would highly recommend Kelly!”
