“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!!”
“This was our first time boarding with Tasha and we are very happy with how everything turned out! She was very sweet and caring for Benji and she really listened to the notes and info we provided for him. She was able to accommodate for him to fully enjoy his stay. We would definitely recommend for any puppy parents!”
“Our dogs’ 4th stay with Steven and family. They will always be our first choice! We continue to be amazed by them. They provide a great environment and I am sure our dogs absolutely love the attention from the children. They take excellent care and provide continuous photo updates throughout the stay. We feel very fortunate to have found Steven and family and are also grateful that they genuinely enjoy watching our dogs. We can tell that our dogs also enjoy them.”
“Donna and Calvin are wonderful. I didn’t think there would be anywhere that we could leave our pup while we were away that I wouldn’t constantly be fretting over her. Well, Donna and Calvin proved me wrong. I can’t imagine that we could have found better care for our little dog. They are the best!”
“Amazing caregiver for our sweet Oscar. He requires a lot of love and Jay was definitely up for the challenge. Great communication and flexibility. Definitely recommend!”
“Taylor took great care of our 17 year old senior pup. She has an array of age-related needs, and he made sure she was comfortable, eating regularly, and getting outside...and all of those things are challenging for her at this point. I would highly recommend him!”
“Jerry was amazing and took excellent care of Raya. He even celebrated her first birthday with a pup cup and doggy cookies! I very much appreciated the updates and pictures of how she was doing. Highly recommend Jerry!”
“Sue-Ling was amazing with my pup. It was his first time ever being boarded away from me and she kept me updated on him and how he was doing. She was very attentive. I will be booking with her again!”
“Bella was immediately comfortable with Jennifer, and Jennifer was equally at ease with our large dog. Jennifer continually sent updates and pictures during our time away, making our time more relaxed. It was clear that Bella had a good time. Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of our baby!”
“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.”

“I had the pleasure of using Raquel's dog boarding service, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience! From the moment we dropped off our dog, we felt at ease knowing she would be in such caring and capable hands. Raquel was incredibly attentive, sending us updates and photos throughout our dog's stay, which really put our minds at rest. Her home is welcoming, with plenty of space for dogs to play and relax, including a large fenced-in yard that’s absolutely beautiful. Our dog had so much fun running and playing with Raquel's two I'm two boys. She came home happy, healthy, and well-cared-for, and we could tell she had a great time. I highly recommend Raquel's dog boarding service to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their pets!”
“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!”
“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.”
“This was the first time having to leave my dog with a sitter so I was apprehensive but didn’t have a choice. Sarah was fantastic! She would provide updates and send pictures. I thought my dog adopted a new family and wouldn’t want to come home (thankfully he did)! I would certainly go back to Sarah if I needed dog sitting services again!”

“We used our first over night service through Rover with Claire. She was a tremendous help with our kitten who had an upset tummy and was having some accidents.

We will definitely continue to use Claire for any drop in or over night stays we might need in the future.”

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. I understand that every cat is unique, some love interaction while others prefer space. I always take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages while they’re away.
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.
“Carol was great! I have never had so little to do when returning from a trip! The cats were happy, no messes (that's a big thing with my cats!) and it was wonderful to know they were so well cared for. Carol was very communicative and went the extra mile. I will definitely ask her to sit again. ”
“Our pups love Andrea! I can tell they got a lot of energy out when she comes and she is very attentive to their needs. She is also quick to respond to texts and communications and understands our dogs’ personalities well.”
“For our first time using Rover I’m so grateful and impressed by how easy Kennedy made everything! A true professional and confident especially given we had 5 dogs! I’d recommend Kennedy to anyone and will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thanks, Kennedy!”
“Cece was very responsive and friendly. My cats seemed to warm up to her almost immediately and I feel very comfortable having her care for my fur babies while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would love to book her again!”

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!
“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!”
“Maggie - my 8 yr old Labrador pet therapy dog - had a great time. Got walked, had a few other dogs to socialize with. Julia did an excellent job - we rebooked for a longer stay.”
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
“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’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.
“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.”
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 .

Dusty told me he is looking forward to more visits with Jennifer, Annie and Nicky!”
About: I grew up having cats and reptiles but I've always wanted a dog to have around. I want to experience what it would be like to have a dog so I can finally own one of my own one day. I love animals I wanted to become a vet when I was younger. I have a tortoise right now which is a good pet because they can live very long. I want to eventually own a farm and raise farm animal's when I get older. I use to also own fish and have a gecko as well. My children also take to animal's very well because they are kind and gentle souls like me. I want to provide an excellent service to anyone that needs it.
“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!”

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 have had three dogs of my own, and have been caring for dogs my whole life. Many neighbors and peers have relied on me to provide care for their furry friends!

I’m available during my free hours for walks and visits, and I love using that time to stay active and give pets extra attention and care.

In your home, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while also providing efficient communication and even photos while you are away!
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: Hi, I'm Elizabeth! Dogs haven't just been a part of my life—they have been my entire life. Growing up with dogs since childhood, I have over 30 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet owner. Over the decades, I’ve loved and cared for some pretty incredible rescues, giving me a deep understanding of different temperaments, behaviors, and unique backgrounds. My personal pack has included everything from the high energy of a beautiful Golden Retriever to the wonderful, grateful souls of two rescued Black Labs. I am also currently the proud parent of a sweet senior Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who requires daily medication and a very energetic and active 1.5 yr old Lab/Hound rescue. Managing senior care and strict medical schedules is second nature to me, so if your pup needs a gentle touch, precise pill administration, or just a little extra patience, they are in highly capable hands. Whether your dog is a bouncy puppy who needs to burn off some energy or a sweet senior who prefers a quiet cuddle, I treat every guest like a member of my own family. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and give them the safe, loving, and attentive care they deserve while you're away! Pet care isn't just a task for me—it’s the anchor of my daily routine. Since I work from home, my days naturally revolve around the needs of my own pack, starting with early morning walks or runs and daily trips to the dog park. Because I maintain a highly structured and active routine at home, stepping away for regular potty breaks, playtime, and fresh air is already second nature to me. Whether it's keeping a high-energy pup active and engaged or ensuring a sweet senior gets their quiet resting time, your dog will seamlessly blend into a day already filled with love, structure, and plenty of attention. My home is a true haven for dogs, fully set up to mirror the love, safety, and structure they get at home. Guests have the freedom to lounge in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and dedicated spaces for peaceful downtime. Because I am highly experienced with managing multiple dog personalities your pup’s specific routine will be followed to the letter. Walks, playtime, and potty breaks are built into the day to keep active dogs happy. Safety and supervision are my top priorities, ensuring a stress-free environment where your furry family member can feel entirely secure, loved, and pampered while you're away.
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: From a young age I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, who are 15 and 11, that I take care of.

I have lots of experience with all different shapes and sizes of dogs, as well as all ages.

I am free any day of the week including weekends! I am tidy and responsible when it comes to looking after a pet. I have lived with and raised two dogs who are now “elderly” and have a strict regimen on medication and feeding habits.

I will make sure to lock up after I leave and secure any gates or doors in the house to keep the pet in a specific area of the home if need be.

“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.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends, families, & neighbors since I was in middle school & I love all kinds of animals big & small! I grew up with a labradoodle and a pitbull mix, helping my family take care of & train them. Since then, I’ve lived with 3 different cats with very different personalities that I helped take care of! I’ve pet sat for pit bulls, huskies, goldens, goldendoodles, Bernese mountain dogs, Australian shepherds, mutts big & small as well as cats & lizards! I’m newer to the Wilmington area & longing for a pet of my own, but don’t have the money to support (spoil) one they way I would want to, which is why I do Rover! I currently work full-time at UNCW, but am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible schedule! I am available in the morning, mid-day/afternoon (my lunch break is flexible!), anytime after 5pm & on the weekends! In my home, I make sure to pet-proof everything before having any animals over (no food out, breakable things put away). I live in an apartment complex with a dog park & access to the cross-city trail for long walks! I also live nearby both Empie & Long Leaf Parks and love going on walks there by myself, so I would love to continue my walks with a pet! If I am caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their privacy while caring for their pet.

“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!!”
“This was our first time boarding with Tasha and we are very happy with how everything turned out! She was very sweet and caring for Benji and she really listened to the notes and info we provided for him. She was able to accommodate for him to fully enjoy his stay. We would definitely recommend for any puppy parents!”
“Our dogs’ 4th stay with Steven and family. They will always be our first choice! We continue to be amazed by them. They provide a great environment and I am sure our dogs absolutely love the attention from the children. They take excellent care and provide continuous photo updates throughout the stay. We feel very fortunate to have found Steven and family and are also grateful that they genuinely enjoy watching our dogs. We can tell that our dogs also enjoy them.”
“Amazing caregiver for our sweet Oscar. He requires a lot of love and Jay was definitely up for the challenge. Great communication and flexibility. Definitely recommend!”
“Bella was immediately comfortable with Jennifer, and Jennifer was equally at ease with our large dog. Jennifer continually sent updates and pictures during our time away, making our time more relaxed. It was clear that Bella had a good time. Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of our baby!”
“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.”
“Olivia was very attentive to our needs for Leila. She shared some great videos with us which made us feel relaxed & happy that our girl was well taken care of.”
“I had the pleasure of using Raquel's dog boarding service, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience! From the moment we dropped off our dog, we felt at ease knowing she would be in such caring and capable hands. Raquel was incredibly attentive, sending us updates and photos throughout our dog's stay, which really put our minds at rest. Her home is welcoming, with plenty of space for dogs to play and relax, including a large fenced-in yard that’s absolutely beautiful. Our dog had so much fun running and playing with Raquel's two I'm two boys. She came home happy, healthy, and well-cared-for, and we could tell she had a great time. I highly recommend Raquel's dog boarding service to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their pets!”
“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!”
“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.”
“This was the first time having to leave my dog with a sitter so I was apprehensive but didn’t have a choice. Sarah was fantastic! She would provide updates and send pictures. I thought my dog adopted a new family and wouldn’t want to come home (thankfully he did)! I would certainly go back to Sarah if I needed dog sitting services again!”
“Cosette was so kind and sent me videos of Ripley everyday! She played with her every morning and gave her lots of loving. Would definitely book again! We are very happy with her care of our dog”
“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.”
“"We had such a wonderful experience with Robert and his family. From the moment Brinkley arrived, they made him feel comfortable and loved. Robert sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, letting us know how Brinkley was eating, sleeping, and spending his day — which meant the world to us. What stood out most was the genuine care and extra one‑on‑one time Robert gave him. Brinkley came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust Robert with Brinkley again.””
“Kimberly and her family took amazing care of my little old pup. Gave him love and snuggles sent updated photos to us the whole time we were away. What an incredible experience. We will absolutely be using Kimberly as our sitter again!”
“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!”
