“Sent updates while my pup stayed! She takes time to make a bond with each pup she watches! She takes them for walks and plays with them in the backyard! Great sitter!”
“Jane was amazing! She was attentive, two our dog and kept us up-to-date with how she was doing, including sweet pics along the way! Our dog is a bit timid, but it seemed to do very well in their home. We will definitely be using her again! Thanks so much!”
“My 8 month old pup, Reggie, stayed with Katie and her doggies for almost 2 weeks and he loved every minute! Made best friends with their young pup and had a constant playmate the entire time. Katie sent daily photos and updates and made me feel so comfortable and reassured that Reggie was being taken care of like he was their own. He eats half dry, half wet food and she had no problem catering to his bougie needs. Thank you Katie! You are amazing and Reggie already misses BM! 100% would recommend Katie!”
“I was nervous about trying Rover because I had never used this service or left my dog at a person’s house before while on vacation. This was my first experience, Elizabeth was fantastic! You can tell she loves dogs, she sent pictures everyday of Pepe playing with her other dogs. I think Pepe really bonded with Eliza, I didn’t know how he would do, but it couldn’t have gone better…. I will definitely be calling Eliza again. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch Pepe:)”
“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”
“Rachel and her family are excellent sitters. I know my dog is well loved when he is there. He came home exhausted, which is a good sign of fun and playing. I recommend her for your pet’s needs!”
“Patricia was on top of communication and took great care of our boy while we were gone! She sent updates frequently and made us feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend her! Thank you so so much Patricia!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She took great care of our dog for an entire week and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and quick responses whenever we had questions. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog to go on vacation. I was so nervous about it and Jessica and her family calmed every anxiety I had. They were so flexible with our plans, sent photos of our dog, and provided updates on her. Thank you for everything!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Once again Paisley’s second parents came through for us! Paisley has some health issues and not only did they give her all the meds (which were a bit complicated) they took daily walks. I’m sure she will be expecting those now that she’s home! 😂 Michael continued to send us pictures to let us know she was okay. She misses them I’m sure!”
“My two pups came home happy and sleepy after a great two night visit. I especially loved getting texts with photos updating me on how they were settling in. Would definitely recommend Joseph and Tasha!!”
“Mariah and her family took excellent care of Harper during her visit. Mariah was flexible, responsive and super friendly. Mariah made sure Harper felt at home and I am appreciative Harper had the opportunity to play with her furry friends there!”
“Kymberlee watched our 3 dogs overnight for us and kept us updated the whole time. We were nervous to leave our pups but they had such a good time and were pooped when we brought them home! Will definitely book with Kymberlee again ?”
“We had to leave our new puppy for a week and she is not house broken yet. We were so glad Deana was available and able to watch her. She is the best! She sent updates to us regularly. We know our puppy had a fantastic time and was well cared for. We will absolutely use Deana again and would recommend her to everyone. She has the most ideal setup for your dogs!!”
“Sarah was great and my little girl doggy enjoyed playing with her little pups- also , I loved getting a video and a picture as well . I would definitely use her service again and recommend her as well.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wilmington home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 IN 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.
