About: I have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, ear/eye drops) as well as experience with senior and small dogs especially. Senior care is my strength but I love dogs of all ages. I work from home part time and am home all day Friday-Monday. There are no children or pets in the home so I am able to provide my undivided attention. Your dog will be inside my home most of the day as I do not have a yard. I do however have a large park/lake across the street that I frequent that is great for walks.
About: Having a passion for animals had allowed me to be able to adapt to the needs of each pet I encounter. From ferrets to good ol' doggos, I am comfortable with all sorts of pets. I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!
About: I worked as a vet tech for 6 years and dog grooming for 4 years. Ive had dogs my whole life. I can't wait to meet your family member! I love walking and what's better than walking? Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)
“Elaine is so amazing! I didn’t know when I was going to give birth and she came in to help me last minute. She is so great with my dog and is my #1 go to! Thank you Elaine, you were a life saver.”


About: "Experienced Pet Care Specialist: Dedicated to Providing Exceptional Love and Attention for Your Furry Friends! Plus I take videos of our walks and send them to you! Given my passion for personal growth, family, and supporting communities, pet care fits seamlessly into my life by allowing me to connect with others and their pets, providing a service that brings joy and peace of mind to pet owners. It aligns with my values of nurturing relationships and contributing positively to those around you. I take care of my clients' pets by ensuring they receive personalized attention and care tailored to their individual needs. On long walks, I make sure the pets get ample exercise, mental stimulation, and time to explore, all while maintaining their safety. For quick drop-ins, I focus on providing essential care, including feeding, refreshing water, and giving them some affection and playtime to keep them happy and comfortable until their owner returns. My goal is to make each visit a positive experience, leaving both pets and their owners with peace of mind.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats and am often the go-to pet sitter for my family. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and personalities, including helping senior family members with bathing, feeding, walking, and providing companionship for their pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am reliable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. After 26 years working in an office environment, I decided it was time for a change and to do something I truly enjoy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love dogs, being active, and spending time outdoors. I enjoy going on walks and providing pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Caring for animals gives me a sense of purpose, and I love knowing that I’m helping both pets and their owners feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, which is why I make it a priority to carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or special care requirements, I will make sure your pet receives the attention and care they are accustomed to. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, as if they were my own.
About: Hiiiii! I’m Taylor — a lifelong dog and cat mom with a true passion for giving pets the individualized care they deserve. I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and for the past decade of adulthood I’ve always owned at least one of each. I’m extremely comfortable with all ages, personalities, and care needs. I have extensive experience with senior and medically fragile pets. I cared for my senior cat (Mariah Kitty like Mariah Carey) with stage 4 kidney disease for 6 months, administering fluids, medications, and daily monitoring until she passed. Because of that experience, I’m very confident with special instructions, routines, and gentle medical care. I currently care for two purebred pets with specific needs — a corgi with early-onset arthritis and a Persian cat who requires regular eye cleaning, coat upkeep, and hygiene care (you know what I mean by hygiene care if you have a long haired pet..). This has taught me patience, detail-oriented care, and how to keep pets calm and comfortable even when tasks aren’t their favorite. Whether your pet needs slow walks, daily medication, extra brushing, enrichment, or just someone loving and reliable to hang out with them, I’d love love LOVE to help. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I treat every animal I watch like one of my own. I was recently laid off so other than trips to go visit my family out of state and job searching, I am available to care for pets morning to evening! I can wake up early and stay up late if your family needs it. I provide care in your home only, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment and routine. I always adapt to whatever schedule, rules, and preferences your pet is used to — meals, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, crate time, bedtime routines, and anything else you need. For house sitting: I maintain your pet’s normal daily rhythm and keep your home clean, safe, and secure. I give plenty of companionship, enrichment, and calm presence, especially for pets with anxiety or special needs. They can feel when our energy is off you know? For drop-in visits: I make sure your pet gets bathroom breaks, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I also handle small things like litter scooping, brushing, basic cleaning, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I promise I will send you the BEST content while you're missing them! For dog walking: I tailor the walk to your dog’s age, speed, and mobility — whether they need a slow stroll, a structured walk, or a little extra exercise. Safety is always the priority, and I keep your dog on-leash unless you specify otherwise. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.

About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.
“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”


About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. Any time there was an opportunity to look after a friend’s or neighbor’s pet I was more than happy to do it. Being paid to do it was nice, but being able to see the pet was the biggest reason I did it. I’m currently working part time so I have quite a bit of time on my hands. As I’m learning to navigate the adult world from recently graduating, looking after pets is a great way to stay active and build a good routine. When it comes to safety and health of your pet, I always run it by the owner dozens of times to make sure the animal is taken care of the highest degree. Whether it’s the specifics about a medication that is important to take or when it’s time to take the pup to bed.
About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.
About: I have experience caring for both my own dogs and my neighbors' dogs. I am familiar with both small and larger breeds, and I have worked with older dogs that require extra attention and care. My empathetic nature makes me well-suited to take care of your beloved pups. I am currently working part-time, so walking your pups would be more than just a job—it would be a hobby that allows me to spend time with beautiful animals. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are top priorities in my pet care approach. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's residence, I ensure a secure environment by implementing measures such as regular safety checks, secure enclosures, and pet-proofing spaces. I maintain open communication with clients to understand their pets' specific needs, preferences, and any health concerns. This personalized care extends to providing a clean and stimulating environment with enriching activities tailored to each pet's temperament and energy level.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience in dog walking, pet sitting, and cat care. I started pet sitting in middle school for family, friends, and neighbors! I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. I also have hands-on experience with newborn puppies. I’m happy to care for your cats too! Feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and all the love they need while you're gone. I work from home so I can take your pet to the bathroom whenever they need, take them on walks, and play with them all day :) I live in an apartment but it is very pet friendly. There are many places for dogs to run around or go to the bathroom.

About: I am a dog lover through and through. I have owned, cared for and loved dogs of every size and shape my entire life. There isn't a pup too big or too small, too young or too old! I am adaptable and can tailor my care to your dogs specific needs and personality. We're talking walks, fetch, pets, puzzles, games and all the attention a dog could ever ask for! I have experience with dog reactivity and dog based fear aggression. I also have experience in puppy care and senior puppy care! I am blessed to have a very open schedule which allows me to be available and flexible to your needs! :) I look forward to meeting you and your fuzzy family member! I am blessed to have a very open schedule during both the week and weekend, which means I am very flexible and can work with you on your specific needs. I treat every pet I care for as the individual they are. I am adaptable and tailor my care based on your pets needs and personality. I know how stressful it is finding care for your pets (I'm a dog mom too!) and my goal is to make sure I do everything I can so that when your dogs in my care, your mind is at ease.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve had my family dog that I mainly took care of growing up and one of my own now that I’ve had for the last 6 years, if you hire me your satisfaction is guaranteed! I currently work part time at a gym with pretty flexible scheduling so I have plenty of time to check in on your pup when needed. I have my own house with a big front yard and a big fenced back yard for dogs to run around as much as they want.
About: I am an animal lover with over 10 years of experience providing exceptional care for pets. I have worked at a doggy daycare for over 2 years and am happiest when I get to spend the day with four legged friends. As a fellow pet owner I am well aware of how much your pet means to you. I understand the importance that they are not only taken care of while you’re away, but living their best life. When I am caring for your fur baby, my number one priority is that they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I am comfortable and more than capable of caring for all types and breeds of pets, and am especially great with pets that require more experienced care (senior pets, special needs, high energy, shy/nervous). I am just as obsessed with your pet as you are, you can expect lots of updates and pics while you are away, as well as a piece of mind knowing you’re pet is in great hands. I can’t wait to meet your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wilmington on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 20,693 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wilmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wilmington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Wilmington.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilmington. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
