“Joel is a wonderful dog and house sitter. He really fits in great, understands and cares thoughtfully and affectionately for your dog. He is professional and yet kindly personal at the same time. He was a fantastic gift to me at this time.”
“My dog took a liking to Ali right away! I did also and feel she genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about animals. She sent cute updates and was clear in her schedule and communication. She was respectful of my space and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.”
About: I used to work in an emergency vet hospital so I have knowledge on how to act in an emergency situation, common welfare, and proper precautions/warning signs/symptoms. I have also cared for pets of all ages, including 2 week old kittens, senior dogs, and many more. I work during the day Monday-Friday but can do evening and morning care and am fully available on the weekends. Starting in August I will be available during the day on the weekdays. I will follow any rules you set for me when caring for your pets. Every pet is different and needs different accommodations. But I will also love on them as if they were my own!
About: I have 7+ years of professional pet care experience and currently work as the assistant manager of a high-volume pet care facility specializing in boarding, daycare, training, enrichment, and socialization under the supervision of an animal behaviorist. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs — from playful puppies to senior pets requiring medications or specialized care. I’m experienced handling shy, fearful, reactive, strong-willed, and aggressive dogs, and I always prioritize safety, patience, structure, and positive experiences while making sure every pet feels comfortable, understood, and cared for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in experienced and reliable hands. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs to provide the best care possible. Whether that means playtime, extra patience, slower-paced senior care, or lots of affection and attention, I care for every pet like they’re my own — with plenty of love, belly rubs, and a few treats along the way! I do work full time but I'm available Monday-Friday after 3pm. I'm also available for overnight boarding on weekends. I'm flexible with my schedule as well. I currently do not have any pets in my home, which allows me to provide a calm, personalized environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs and comfort level. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, enrichment activities, relaxing companionship, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to adjust their care based on what makes them feel safest and happiest. Safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable are always my top priorities, and I’d love to learn more about your pet’s routine, personality, and favorite things to help them feel right at home!
“David took wonderful care of our home, and all the critters who reside there. He is our go to guy for whenever we go out of town, or just need drop in or a quick walk of the pup during long days at the office.”
“Nicolas stayed at our house and look care of our 70 pound, reactive, German shepherd, Danny and did such an incredible job. He sent us videos and photos throughout his stay and always kept us updated on how Danny was doing. We’ve used serveral rover’s in the past and Nicolas is by far the most attentive and professional Rover we’ve ever had. I can’t recommend Nicolas enough, he was a 10/10 hire.”
“Tanesha was very responsive and easy to work with. She can tell I was nervous as this was my first dog, and first time using rover for a 5 day trip. When she could tell I was nervous she followed up with more updates and pictures. Will use her again!”
“Thank you so much for all the help! If anyone is looking for someone who loves animals don’t hesitate you are picking the right person. We have a Cane Corso and she was super happy to see him everyday and would get sad when he would leave for the day. I could see through the camera how he would be constantly playing with her, cuddling and keeping us updated ! I will continue to book and feel confident that my baby is safe. He even trained with her asking her to sit before treats. Overall super happy with the services provided and my baby was happy.”
“Dani was a wonderful sitter for our cats and dog. She was very responsible, sent us lots of great photos, and kept our pets very happy and healthy. She also took great care of our home. I highly recommend her!”
“It was just an overnight trip but Casey did a great job looking after our fur babies. Especially my senior dog who needs daily medication. Thank you so much for the care and compassion given to the pets.”
“Andrew was great! He stayed with our Violet overnight and kept her fed and walked. She is typically a nervous pup so I was worried about leaving her with someone, but she seemed happy and content when we returned. Our internet went out the whole time Andrew was here, and he was very easygoing about it. We would definitely have him back!”
About: I’ve always naturally connected with animals and genuinely enjoy being around them. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I know every pet has a different personality, so I try to make them feel relaxed, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. I currently work a hybrid schedule, so I carefully manage my availability to make sure I can provide dependable care and attention during bookings. I’m mainly available Monday-Wednesday and always make time for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and updates throughout the stay. I like keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow owner instructions carefully, respect clients’ homes, and prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised. I’m naturally very patient, calm, and communicative, and I’ll make sure to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Sam was truly excellent. We have a very old black Lab, Bella, who needs help getting up and down 3 stairs to the back yard. She is very sweet, but you need to be attentive and aware when she asks to go out. Sam was communicative/responsive, sent pictures, and had a calm and kind demanor. Bella was in as good shape as an ancient one can be when we returned and the house was very clean as well. My wife and I recommend Sam with no reservation!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I currently have six dogs of my own, including a senior dog, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized care. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, monitoring behavior changes, and making sure older dogs stay comfortable and safe. I also have experience handling high-energy dogs, multi-dog households, and maintaining calm routines. Being around dogs every day has taught me how to read body language, build trust quickly, and create a safe, loving environment for pets while their owners are away. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I work part-time and have a flexible schedule! I’m able to dedicate quality time throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. When caring for pets, my main priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency with their normal routine. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences—whether that means following a strict feeding schedule, taking long walks, or giving extra cuddles for reassurance.When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—from feeding directions to favorite walking routes. I make sure to leave everything clean and tidy, and to keep open communication so clients always know their pet is well cared for and happy.
“Candace was amazing! Very friendly and understanding of my Lola's needs. Lola really felt comfortable around Candace early on, making me comfortable knowing someone was going to take care of my Baby.”
“Kristina was wonderful! She made it a point to meet us and our pups in advance and sent us pictures and videos of them every day. I knew that they were being well looked after. Kristina gave me peace of mind during my vacation that a boarding facility likely wouldn’t have. The pups got to sleep in their own beds, snooze on their own pillows, and were disrupted as little as possible. Thank you, Kristina!”
“Michael took great care of my dog Mochi and my house. He's friendly and very easy to talk with about dog things and beyond. He graciously accepted my last minute request to house sit, and followed my detailed instructions for Mochi's routine. I'll definitely ask him to house sit for Mochi again.”
“JoAnne is wonderful and did a great job with my dog! She gave lots of updates and pictures and always responds super quick. I’d highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of friends for the last 10 years. It started when a co worker was in need of someone to watch their dog and it has snowballed ever since I work from home 100% of the time. I can take breaks periodically to walk, play and relieve them. Sometimes they are guest stars in a some zoom calls :) I love playing with dogs. It's fun for me. I like to give a daily update and check in with the parents. I like to communicate and let them know how the animal is doing
The median cost per night for house sitting in Wilmington is $63

Hannah took exceptional care of our dogs once again. All of our dogs require medication, which she handles with ease. Additionally, she cooked special food for our dog when he had an upset stomach. She also took out our garbages and brought in packages for us. Highly recommend!
Joel was( great! He was responsive, communicative, and thoughtful with us humans. Most important, he was great with our silly pup. He also took good care of our home. We were able to have a great getaway because we knew our pet and our home were in good hands.
Jonathan was incredible. We booked him the week of using Rover and he stayed in our home and watched our two golden doodles that are four years old. He walked the girls multiple times a day and made sure that they were fed. It was very comforting to have someone staying in our home being with our dogs knowing that they had someone was very comforting. We are already looking to book Jonathan for our trip in October and would be happy to recommend him for any owner owners. He kept the home clean and tidy and sent us lots of cute photos!!
My dog took a liking to Ali right away! I did also and feel she genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about animals. She sent cute updates and was clear in her schedule and communication. She was respectful of my space and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.
I am reluctant to leave a review for Lauren as we will 100% use her services again in the future, but know a good review will make this harder in our future. But Lauren was/is awesome. We have a 200lb Great Dane and frequently travel where we need to house him for a couple days. In the past he has stopped eating which causes him to get anxious and 'hangry' and he's a mess when we get home. So we tried Rover and selected Lauren cause she has VetTech experience. She was wonderful with our pet AND even took him for daily walks which he loves but 200lbs is a lot when a squirrel crosses his path. Lauren is awesome and stayed over in our home for couple of days. Shows up on time and communicates expectations and daily status. Confidence with Lauren.
Mahima was fantastic! If I could leave more than five stars I would. She is detail oriented, and followed all my instructions perfectly. I was worried about my reactive boy. But she handled him beautifully, and is very confident in her approach. She sent many videos of daily activities, ensuring my furry friend was well taken care of. If she was unclear, she didn't hesitate to ask. She left my house immaculate. Mahima is extremely kind and respectful, and a lovely human being. I highly recommend her. Sparky and I both say THANK YOU Mahima!
Simply can't recommend Alex enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for my boyfriend and me, helping with backup care for our dog, Mischa, who just went through TPLO surgery. From the very beginning, Alex has been incredibly attentive, kind, and reliable. Mischa (and our other animals too) warmed up to her instantly, which immediately put us at ease. Alex has gone above and beyond to make sure our pup is comfortable, safe, and happy—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing extra love and cuddles during recovery. Her communication is excellent with regular check ins throughout the day, which has been a huge comfort during this stressful time. We feel so lucky to have found someone we can truly trust with our fur babies. If you’re looking for a compassionate, responsible, and loving caregiver for your dog, Alex is absolutely the one!
Shannon was wonderful. The boys loved her. I was worried about leaving them for days, as I never had, but once we met Shannon, those fears evaporated. She came for a couple short visits prior to my trip. They took to her immediately, and while I was away she sent videos and pics multiple times per day. Really couldn't be happier!
Having Samantha sit for us has been so wonderful! She takes such sweet care of our dog Gemma and the house is always in beautiful shape when we return. She is very responsive and sends the best photos of their time together. Highly recommend her and we are very grateful!
