“Brian never fails to deliver! My big boy Golden Retriever cannot wait to see Brian and his pups. We had another stay with Brian this weekend and will continue to come back. Thanks Brian!”
“Thank you Steffani and Joshua My 3 pups enjoyed their stay with this loving couple. Steffani was very attentive, easy going and extremely commutative! My one pup has very high anxiety and Steffani put us to ease during the meet and greet my puppies loved her! I love their yard for my pups can enjoy and play for hours. During my pups stay I received multiple update and pictures that just made our day. I highly recommend them as your choice of dog sitter knowing your puppy is being taken care of in good hands puts you at ease.”
“I can't say enough good things about Ashley! She was absolutely fantastic with Kodak. From the moment I met her, I could tell she was genuine and caring, and that definitely showed in the way she took care of him. Kodak was clearly happy and well-cared for, and I received updates with pictures, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Aaron took such great care of Rufus while we were away. He kept us updated with lots of photos and great communication throughout the week. We really appreciated the extra attention to his comfort and well-being. Rufus clearly loved his stay and honestly didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend!”
About: I don't just watch dogs—I welcome them into my family. Every pup receives personalized attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I work for the Red Clay School District, so I have weekends, holidays, and summers off. My typical work hours are 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and my school is very close to home, which allows me to come home during my lunch breaks. I make it a priority not to leave the pups home alone for more than four hours at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family. I have a fully fenced yard, two friendly Shih-Poos who love making new friends, and a calm, loving environment. I'll follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions, so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away.
“Latoya was really amazing in taking care of Madison. It was our first time with Latoya and I know we made the right decision the whole time was totally stress free. She took an excellent care of our pup and she sends us pictures and videos everyday. Madison was at home and comfortable with her care the whole time. We are definitely going back for her services the next time.”
“Did a good job communicating. Seemed well taken care of. My pup did get out and she texted/called to ask for tips for finding him/being able to get him back. He returned 20 mins later - was 20 mins of anxiety, but overall he seemed like a happy camper. Clearly got lots of love from both Cecilia and her daughters.”
“Kaycie has great knack to care and make dog feel at home. Our puppy dog had wonderful 10 days and when we got her back she was all spirited and jolly as usual. Thank you Kaycie.”
“Samantha was a great sitter for Juneau and took fantastic care of him! She sent video and picture updates every day and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I know he had a great time playing with her dog Tank and was loved by her whole family. The big backyard was definitely a plus since Juneau has a lot of energy but she also took him on walks as well. Will definitely book again when we need a sitter, highly recommend!!”
“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:)!”
“Patty is the absolute best! She took such great care of my dog Pippa for an extended stay. She was so kind and communicative. She treated my little girl like she was her own. She and her husband are truly dog whisperers.”
“Denver enjoyed his stay with Coleen- who took good care of him , and several other dogs, staying at her house, over a holiday weekend. She has a nice fenced in yard, which was a treat for Denver, who does not have one at home. I'm sure we'll be asking to book more stays!”
“Adriene was a wonderful fill in Mama for our old boy Sam. She sent lots of pictures of his “vacation “ Sam had lots of smiles in his pictures with her dogs. Adrienes is a great fit for our old dog.”
“Olivia was well taken care of. We received plenty of updates and pictures while we were away. Communication was excellent and drop off and pick up were very easy. Cassandra will be our go to sitter from now on.”
“Kate was awesome! She was super communicative and before and during Chocolate’s stay. Chocolate is a little shy sometimes but it seemed like Kate put her right at ease and made Chocolate comfortable from the start.”

Ive lost track of how many times I've booked with Nick, but every single time its been a pleasure. My dogs always seem happy there and well cared for. His family also seems to really enjoy my 2 dogs, as always the next time I need a dog sitter I will be re-booking with Nick, such a great family who really do loves dogs :)
Joseph was a dream come true. He sent us pictures and videos several times a day which showed our boys being walked, interacting with other dogs and peacefully sleeping. Our 7 night vacation was enhanced because of Joseph and his care for our boys. We will absolutely be asking Joseph to board our boys again!!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Wilmington on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,802 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wilmington. About 89% of Wilmington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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 DE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
