“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara 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 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾”
“My furbaby loves going to Jade’s. Jade keeps me updated throughout the stay and returns Keisha to me happy, healthy and relaxed. Jade always accepts my last minute requests with a willingness to accommodate my unpredictable schedule. Jade is my go-to sitter every time.”
“Amy and Cathy were wonderful! We have a special needs dog who is diabetic and they were great administering the medication and ensuring that she was doing well. We got regular updates from them and felt good being away that our dogs were in such good care.”
“Wow! Our second experience with Bronwen and couldn't be happier. We were away for over 2 weeks and didn't have a worry in the world. Rascal had the best experience we could hope for. TLC on a daily basis, home-cooked treats and a wonderful playmate or two to keep her active and entertained. She came home looking happy, healthy and relaxed! Photos on a daily basis were an added bonus and made us so grateful for the exceptional care she was being given. Bronwen loves animals and it shows in everything she does. She is a godsend to us and our little girl! Can't wait to book again!”
“Cecilia took good care of our Ida while my wife and I were out of town. She took time to introduce Ida to the other dogs there to give all the dogs the best chance of getting along. Ida went for one day of daycare before her boarding stay and seemed happy to be returning when we dropped her off. Cecilia was very responsive when we asked for updates and sent us some pictures of Ida while we where out of town. If I wasn't moving out of state I would happily send my dog back to Cecilia's for boarding or daycare!”
“Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.”
“This was the first time I left My young Frenchie with anyone and I was very nervous. Aaron was interested in getting to know her before the trip and he was organized and communicative. When I picked her up she was comfortable there and she was fine! I will 100% leave her with Aaron again. Very thankful to find someone who cares a lot about taking care of her.”
“Kelly was great & I am so happy to have found her. I was very nervous but she made the whole process seamless and helped calm my nerves. She provided pictures and updates daily. My dog enjoyed his time with Kelly and will definitely be back.”
“Steff was excellent with my dog Moe. She is a very nice person and took excellent care of Moe. She sent pictures and kept us informed throughout the day. I highly recommend her and her husband Josh.”
“My 2 Boston Terriers had a wonderful time at Patti’s house. She took wonderful care of them and gave me daily updates and pictures. She has a lovely home with a spacious backyard, and I know they enjoyed the freedom and outside time. She treats her dogs as one of her own and I came back from vacation to happy dogs. Thank you, Patti. ♥️🐾”
“Perfect place for my pampered pet. I thought he might not want to leave. Lots of cozy places for him to snuggle with other pets and both Emily & Christine. Plenty of room to run around outside and fun kids too. play with”
“Brian took such great care of Moe! It’s always nerve wracking to book with someone new, but Brian put us completely at ease. He provided updates and pictures throughout the weekend, and Moe had a great time playing with all of the pups. Thank you!!”
“Candace was wonderful with our dog, Lincoln. Since he is a rescue that was a stray, Lincoln is unsure when first meeting people, along with being a bit temperamental at times. Candace and her family made him a part of their family, even letting Lincoln sleep with them. We were happy to hear that Lincoln and Candace’s youngest child were buddies for the weekend. Lincoln came home tired from his busy weekend. Were are so thankful of the care Lincoln received and the updates we received. We will definitely use Candace again and would highly recommend her and her family to others.”
About: I have wanted a dog ever since I was little. I finally got a family dog at 21 years old. I have 3 years of experience taking care of my family dog. I moved across the country for nursing school. Now that I miss my dog like crazy I would love to get my dog fix by taking care of your pet. I can walk, bathe, feed, cuddle, and spend time with your pet! I am currently in nursing school, so I am flexible to care for your pet daily. I am available on the weekdays around my class schedule and on the weekends while I study. Dog friendly apartment complex, which includes a dog park too. I have one golden doodle back home who is crate trained, learns tricks quickly, well behaved, social, and loves to play with smaller dogs and cats.
“Jordyn is fantastic with dogs! Her calm and loving personality was a great match for our hyper “still-a-puppy” at three years of age goldendoodle. She is one of the best sitters we have had! She made our dog feel at home in her home and we could not have asked for more. I absolutely recommend booking with her!”
“Enrica & Roberto rolled out the red carpet for our Frannie. Numerous photo updates, with accompanying messages, definitely put our minds at ease. When I went to pick up our little girl, I wasn’t sure she would want to come home!”
Wilmington pet parents share their Rover experiences
I always wonder what my dog would say if she could speak. I went to pick her up and instead of leaping into my arms she turned and tried to go back into the house. I mean it was raining a little bit and there is a big backyard where she was able sun herself. While my feelings are a little hurt , I do think it was the best case scenario. She also still smelled relatively clean, which was nice.
I love having Nick and his family watch my two dogs. They always seem to come back from their stay happy and exhausted. His kids also seem to get along well with both my dogs. Its nice to know that when I do have to leave my dogs when I go on a trip that they are in a loving and caring home. I highly recommend Nick if your ever in need of a dog sitter.
Chyann, was an amazing sitter for my baby. Beanie stayed with her for a week and throughout the entire stay she kept me updated with pictures and insight into how he was doing. She’s one of the more informed sitters on this platform and following our meet-and-greet I was completely sold on choosing her as a sitter. With the updates, smooth transition for drop-off, and Chyann’s warm personality I was completely at ease and confident throughout the boarding process. I’d definitely recommend choosing Chyann!
Samantha took great care of my dog Ivy while I was out of the country. She provided photos and messages to let me know how she was doing. Most importantly she made my dog feel safe and secure by providing her with lots of attention while I was away. I had never left my dog at another house before so I was not sure if she would be comfortable, but she did great. Thanks so much Samantha!
Alberta watched our 17.5 year old cockapoo for 2 weeks and took such great care of her. Our dog has some minor health issues and also requires diapers and Alberta had no problem taking care of that. She had great enthusiasm for watching senior dogs when we first met her and we felt like we were leaving our girl in excellent hands. We received updates throughout our trip and she was always timely when responding to our messages. We would definitely reach out to her first if we ever needed someone to watch our dog again. She was excellent and you should consider her when looking for a sitter.
My furbaby loves going to Jade’s. Jade keeps me updated throughout the stay and returns Keisha to me happy, healthy and relaxed. Jade always accepts my last minute requests with a willingness to accommodate my unpredictable schedule. Jade is my go-to sitter every time.
Angie was fantastic! We have never left our dog with anyone other than family so were a bit nervous but Angie provided daily updates and pictures to put our mind at ease. Ripley seemed to have had the best time with Angie! We will 100% book Angie again. We feel so lucky to have found such a great dog sitter on Rover- Thank you Angie!
Monique was available when I needed someone immediately. My regular sitter was away and I had a family emergency. Monique was wonderful. As Mina became acclimated to her, Skye, and their dog, she had a really good time over the Halloween holiday. Monique sent me pics of Mina in her Halloween costume that were really cute! Mina was well taken care of and I am hoping that Monique will be available again in the future. Thanks, Monique and Skye!
