“Amy and Cathy are great pet sitters! My mini dachshund, Mickey, stayed with Amy and Cathy for 3 weeks while we were away for a vacation and home renovation. Mickey was very happy there. Amy and Cathy have a very nice home and yard for him, plus he has fun with their dog, Shana! Highly recommend the team and would definitely use them again!”


About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I’ve mostly handled cats and dogs, but I also have experience with bearded dragons 😊 I really do love all animals! I work M-F as a nurse but I’m usually done by 3:00 in the afternoon. I’ve found I really need something to do in my free time and I couldn’t think of anything better than taking care of some pets! As a nurse, safety is very important to me. I would use my days off to dedicate all my time to your pet, their happiness, and safety 😊

“Steffani & Joshua were amazing, and went far and beyond to care for Barley, our 7yo hound x beagle mix dog. They send us daily updates, pictures and little cute videos, which was supper nice and helped us to relax while our fur baby Barley was away. They are a really cool family and were really flexible and accommodating with Barley, going for walks, playing in the backyard and with Levy and following Barley’s routine. It was xmas and they even gave Barley a cute toy. This was our first time as we just moved to Wilmington, and we were a bit nervous about Barley staying for a long stay, but we are so glad we found Steffani Joshua & Levy! We for sure will be staying again in the near future.”


“Tariq was a fantastic Dog sitter and made sure Bella our Lab got lots of exercise and had plenty of fun while we were away. Photo and video updates were a great way to see her playing with other dogs and having lots of fun so we weren’t worried about her while we were away. We will definitely be using Tariq’s services again and do strongly recommend!”


“I boarded with Aaron for the first time and certainly this may not be th last time as Aaron was very professional and polite. We did a meet and greet and he ensured he has all the relevant information he would need to take care of my Daisy well. I was provided regular updates, pics and videos for Daisy while I was away and it sure was a good experience for Daisy to get a pup cup and enjoy it! There is good play space for the dogs in the fenced backyard also! I would highly recommend Aaron for his boarding services. Thanks!”


“Cecila did an awesome job watching our 3 legged puppy German Shepherd! She took him on walks and gave him all the love and attention he needed. Cecila communicated with us everyday and included pictures of our puppy enjoying his stay with Cecila and her family. I highly recommend her service and would absolutely book another stay with Cecila.”


“Nathan and Meredith were fantastic!! Our chocolate lab absolutely loved getting to play with their dogs. They provided the perfect amount of updates and shared great photos. It was obvious they are animal lovers and were very understanding with our puppy’s excitement levels and needs. Thank you, Nathan and Meredith!”


“Daisy had a blast staying with Jordan and Chloe. Jordan was very attentive and reassuring and sent us lots of photos of Daisy and updates throughout the week. We felt that Daisy was very much at home and even came home with a new toy she acquired from Chloe. We totally recommend Jordan!”


“Lydia was wonderful. This is the first time I’ve ever had someone other than family or friends watch my doggy, and Lydia sensed my nervousness. But she took tons of pictures, gave me regular updates, and took good care of my little pup. I would definitely recommend and hire her again.”


“Adrienne is a Pet Moms dream come true! I went out of town for a few days and I did not have to worry about if my fur baby was loved and cared for! She was awesome to her and I could feel the love with every picture and video update we received! We love auntie Adrienne 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾”


About: Having grown up on a farm, I loved caring for all the animals and always had deep reverence for their individual characters and personalities. I love creating opportunities for them to be themselves, but also engage in play, foodies, and snuggle time (whenever it might suit them). I am a full time teacher, so during the summers, I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, but during the school year, I can be found working Monday-Friday 7am to 3-5pm (depending on my after school commitments). Should your fur baby require additional attention, I do have some options mid-day for potty breaks or specific needs, but it would have to be discussed and fully planned in advance. I have a large apartment with ample space for a small or medium sized dog who is cat-friendly to stay with us. Additionally, should you want to board your cat, I have the space for an additional kitty to stay either apart from my cats in a large, sun-filled room or (in the event your cat is socialized to be with other cats) in the apartment with my cats. (However, given the territorial nature of cats, we understand that this can prove tricky and would only be available if all cats were in agreement.)

“Sarah took great care of Pongo! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and you could tell how much she cared about making him comfortable and giving him the best time while we were away. Definitely will look to her to care for him whenever we need a sitter!”


“Kaycie was amazing with my Ducky. She boarded him at her home for 5 days and did a great job. She gave me multiple updates daily and respected and followed my instructions. 100% will book again.”


“Sara is the best! She is kind, fun, and loving! Mina loves to be at Sara's house as she never cries to leave once left at Sara's home. She also loves Sara's dog, Penny. It is heartwarming to see how they play together. I know Sara takes good care of Mina as she communicates with me on a regular basis as to how Mina responds to her care. We have a good working relationship and Mina clearly loves to be with Sara and her family! Can't wait until the next visit! I know I can count on Sara to treat Mina as her own.”



“Amazing care for your pet! Goes well above and beyond to make sure your loved one is happy and well cared for during your stay. I am visiting from out of state and had a last minute need and didn't think my little one would want to leave her and her new friends as she was having so much fun (seen in all the pics and updates Bronwen sent me:)!”


“Courtney was awesome from start to finish! My dog was legitimately excited to be there and she kept me in the loop with pictures throughout his stay! It felt safe and comfortable and he came home absolutely exhausted the next day! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”


“We highly recommend Brian! Brian was very attentive in caring for our dog. She was nervous as it was her first time being left with someone else but Brian and his wife were very kind and supportive and provided regular updates. We would definitely use them again!”


“Ashley took good care of my little guy. He seemed very happy when we returned. She gave us daily updates and pictures and, again, Cooper always looked happy. Our usual pet sitter wasn't available so I needed to find a backup and was really nervous, but I'm happy to say it worked out great.”

Wilmington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nick was an amazing sitter for my dog. My dog is a senior and he made me feel comfortable leaving her in his care. He sent me picture updates throughout the day. It helped me feel at ease that she was adjusting and having a great time. I knew she was was in great hands. I would use Nick again!

She was very thoughtful on giving updates and a kind person. She was an excellent caretaker for juju. This the first time we have hired a pet sitter and she was experienced and knowledgeable of process. I would definitely recommend Rita for your pet sitting needs.

Adrienne is a Pet Moms dream come true! I went out of town for a few days and I did not have to worry about if my fur baby was loved and cared for! She was awesome to her and I could feel the love with every picture and video update we received! We love auntie Adrienne 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to watch my boy on his first time boarding. Tommy and Bri were amazing and there fur babies where sooo welcoming to my Lt Day. They even took the time to send pics and links the updates on who Day Day was doing. We will definitely be return customers if they will have us 😂🥰

Nathalie was amazing! Our dog stayed with her for 12 days while we were out of the country. From the moment we met Nathalie we felt that our pup would be in good hands, and we remained completely comfortable throughout our entire trip. Nathalie is a great communicator, sending frequent updates on how our pup was doing, complete with adorable pictures! When we got home our dog was her normal happy bouncy self, a sign of a great and relaxing stay.

Temi was awesome. She was very conpassionate & caring with my dog, Baby. She took her on walks several times a day. She sent pictures and updates daily. My dog seemed very happy with Temi while I was away on a mini vacation. Would recommend Temi for Pet sitters needs.
