“Nicholas was great with our Ollie! We had a good meet and greet. They have a wonderful yard for sniffing and a system of gates to keep your puppy safe. We felt good about leaving our Ollie with Nicholas and Cora because they were obviously experienced dog owners. He asked good questions to make sure he was prepared for making sure Ollie was as comfortable as possible. Nicholas was very communicative and gave us good updates on Ollie. Will definitely use their services again the next time we need a sitter”
“Mac had an amazing time with a lot of playtime and new Friends ! We received multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, I will definitely rebook and would totally recommend!”
“Arriyanna took great care of Tobi. She kept me updated, followed his routines, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable. I came home to a happy pup. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Tatiana did an amazing job helping my kitten with her separation anxiety. Tatiana was very patient and nurturing not just with her but myself as well. I would definitely rebook when needed. Thank you for everything and for such a safe environment.”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“Alexandra is the best of the best! She is a major dog lover and made us feel very comfortable while our baby Timber was spending time with her. We received daily pictures and updates, as well as ensured any of our special requests were met. Her home is clean and secure, which is a major plus! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Armando was incredible! He took great care of our dog, was super responsive and sent lots of photos. Our dog came home happy and tired. We will definitely use him again.”
“Elaine and her husband Israel were incredible with our dog Barry during his first stay with them. They were familiar with his breed (Australian Shepherd) and anxious tendencies, and went out of their way to make him - and us - feel comfortable during a weekend away. We appreciated the consistent photo and video updates, and look forward to future stays!”
“This was our first overnight stay we booked for Bruce through Rover. He has never really been away from us since we brought him home at just 5 weeks old, and now at a year and 3 months old, we were understandably a little nervous. We felt using Rover would be a much better option than boarding him at a pet hotel, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we could have made. We found Mollie on Rover and reached out to her. She responded so quickly that we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet the very next day. She took the time to get to know both us and Bruce, talked with us about his routine and personality, and even introduced him to her family. From that first meeting, we knew we had found someone special. During Bruce’s stay, Mollie kept us updated with messages and plenty of pictures. Seeing how happy, comfortable, and loved he was made it so much easier to enjoy our trip. Throughout the day, she shared the activities they were doing with Bruce, and it truly felt like he was part of the family. Honestly, I think he may have had even more fun at Mollie’s house than he does at home! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mollie went above and beyond in caring for Bruce, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We will absolutely be booking with Mollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Jenny & her husband were amazing at watching my pup! She was extremely communicative and was playing with him which helped my separation anxiety… lol! 100% going to book with them again :)”
“Chris is amazing! He is super chill and amazing with dogs. My dog Fenchy had a really good time for 4 days. Chris updated me with pictures and I can tell that my doggy had her own little holiday with Chris. She loved him! I can only recommend Chris - thank you so much for taking such a great care over my baby 🥰”
“Ashley had a wonderful time with Monika and her family. She was well taken cared. She was very welcomed. Monika gave us the updates/pics/vids we needed. We’ll definitely have Monika and family again. Thank you so much Monika.”
“Maria is the best! My dog is high energy and a little anxious. Maria takes such good care of him and keeps him busy. I never worry about boogie when Maria has him. I hate to admit it but he actually looks sad to come home when I pick him up!”
“Narumi was excellent with Mina while in her care. She gave very detailed updates with pictures and videos. We felt very peace of mind with Narumi and will definitely contact her again when we need to board Mina.”
“Brian is a conscientious sitter and was really good with Bucky. He sent pics and videos of of my puppy at the end of each day, and we appreciated the constant communication. We definitely recommend Brian as your pet sitter.”
“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”

Elaine is amazing! She's an expert with dogs and not only hosts them but works extra hard to help them develop all of their best qualities. She's also super organized, responsive, and caring. We got lots of detailed updates and always knew exactly how our pup was doing. Loved having Elaine look after our dog during a trip and we'll definitely be returning!
Yeti stayed with Hiromi for two nights while we were out of town, and she was fantastic! She updated us morning and night with daily summaries and photos. Yeti has a bladder condition and needs frequent outdoor breaks, and Hiromi accommodated her needs without hesitation. When we picked Yeti up, she was happy, relaxed, and in great shape. We will definitely rebook with Hiromi next time we need a sitter!
I can’t recommend Katherine enough! From the moment I dropped off my Loki, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. Dobermans can be high-energy and require attentive care, and it was clear right away that they truly understood his needs. Throughout the stay, I received consistent updates, photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and comfortable. They went above and beyond with attention and affection—treating my dog like their own. When I picked my dog up, I could immediately tell how well they had been cared for. Loki was happy and clearly bonded with their Katherine . It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your pet, but this experience exceeded all my expectations. I will absolutely be booking with Katherine again. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, this is the person you want!
Jiana was so incredibly warm and sweet! We could tell immediately that Nala was in such good hands. Jiana did a great job providing care and love for our baby! She checked in, sent photos, and followed care instructions. Our puppy is also in her first heat and Jiana did such an amazing job taking care of her diaper needs and instructions with other dogs. We would absolutely love to have Jiana watch Nala again and recommend her to all of our friends!
So glad I found Thomas on Rover! We left our pup with him for a whole week while we were on vacation. It was clear from pictures and messages that Thomas bonded with our little buddy and gave him special attention and excellent care. We’ll be coming back to Thomas again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wilmington on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,446 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wilmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Wilmington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Wilmington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wilmington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wilmington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Wilmington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
