“Jackson was amazing with our two dogs! They loved him. He was prepared, attentive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him. He took great care of both of them while we were gone.”
“Chris did a great job for us. We have an olderJack Russell who has some special needs. Chris really likes dogs and dogs like him. He spent a week in our home and was very respectful of our home. Not only can I highly recommend him but I'll definitely be using him again. Thank you Chris!”
About: I’m naturally gentle and patient which makes anxious or shy dogs feel safe. I treat pets like babies & communicate a lot with owners like sending pictures or updates! pet care fits perfectly into my routine I’m home a lot so I can give regular walks , attention , and affection throughout the day I focus on making the pet feel secure by keeping their routine the same with same feeding times, walks, cuddles, and play. I give them lots of love and stay respectful of the home, keeping it clean and calm.
About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.
“My dogs and kitty were just as happy and healthy as when I left. Karen was very communicative and responsive with any questions and left my house in good shape as well. Thanks again for taking good care of my little zoo!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Jack while we were away on a European vacation! He did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two Maltese dogs, saltwater fish & freshwater aquariums. The pups responded to him quickly, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were so far away. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending us pictures and videos of the dogs every day. It was so reassuring and special to see them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care he gave our pups and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs again!”
“We were nervous to leave our dog as he sometimes shows minor separation anxiety but Armando did such a great job!! He is super calm and laid back but also very responsive to messages. Would definitely book him again.”
“Amanda has great communication and was on time. She sent me updates with pictures during her stay with our pups. Definitely beyond satisfied with her service. Thanks Amanda!”
“Sarah did a really great job and I can tell she loves animals! She kept me informed and put my mind at ease. We will definitely want to have her pet sit for us in the future!”
“Darlene dog sat my German shepherd and my senior pug. She was very communicative, on time, and had a great way with the doggies. My senior pug is a bit of a picky eater but she managed to get him to eat and be at ease. I will definitely hire her again”
About: I’m very patient with pets, as i believe that they need special care with their daily living. I am someone who can make them feel loved and safe. I, myself have a miniature pinscher that can be handful at times but I very much love being with him. Dogs have this little world that makes me feel happy and peaceful, taking care of them is something i enjoy. I work full time in the day, but i still manage to walk my dog in the morning and the afternoon. Just like my dog, I am happy to welcome yours too and i will very much enjoy their company. I’d take them adventures and fun play times. I hope to meet your lovely dog! - Margie
“Kristina took great care of our four cats and our dog! She was always in communication with us and paid special attention to our dog, who is a picky eater and very sensitive. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. My favorite breed are pitbull but I have two beagles at the moment. I’ll obey any instructions you have for your pet, I do my best not to feed into bad dog behaviors. I’ve taken care of my family members dogs and multiple dogs at once. I’m good at cleaning up after dogs too. I’m currently studying for my CPA exams, so pet care will easily fit into my weekly routine. I prefer to walk any animal before the sunsets, but being at someone’s home is fine any time. I’m good at cleaning up after animals and myself. I have two beagles so I prefer not to do anything at my house. But I’m more than willing to take care of any pets at their house.
About: I always had pets of all kinds growing up and grew to love all animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, and all other pets for family, friends, and clients for over a decade by doing walks, drop ins, enrichment visits, and overnight pet sitting. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time during my weekly routine to schedule any dog walks, drop ins, and pet sitting days. I provide the best care possible for all pets in my care and make sure that I am adjusting my care to their daily routine. I am constantly observing the pets behavior to check if they are comfortable and follow all owners instructions to perfection.
“Hannah stayed with our 3 dogs for 6 nights and we came home to healthy, happy dogs and our house in the same condition we left it in. Hannah sent regular updates and asked questions as needed. We were able to relax and feel confident our pets were getting the care and attention they deserved. Thank you, Hannah!”
About: I've had pets all my life and I currently have 4 of my own. I am someone that can be trusted with your pets and they will be cared for just like my own. I'm a freelance performer and my availability is very flexible. Should someone need a last minute sitter I am the person to call. I try to be active with my fur babies and I will make sure they are fully stimulated so they are behaved and happy when the owner gets them back. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats to keep your baby company. I also have extra crates if needed. I take them to the beach

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
Adriana is one of the best Dogsitters I’ve ever booked from Rover. Took great care of my dog Kira and followed all instructions. Took excellent care of my place also. She has great energy that my dog loves and I got plenty of photo updates. Will absolutely be hiring again.
Sarah is an excellent pet sitter. She took her time to make sure she was prepared prior to the booking, meeting my guys so she wasn't a stranger and understanding their routine. She is an excellent communicator and takes extra care of my fury friends including my senior chi.
I rarely use house/dog sitters that are not family or friends but upon meeting Jacqueline I immediately had a good feeling about inviting her into our home and trusting her with our fur baby. And she exceeded all expectations. Very communicative. Very considerate of our home and our dogs needs and schedule. I would most definitely recommend her and hope to book her again in the future. 😊
This gentleman is absolutely wonderful. Our dogs love him. He is thoughtful and kind, quiet and curteous, and I would trust him in my home any time. He did such a good job with our best friends. He will work with your schedule no matter whats up. Can't say enough good things about him.
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!
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!!
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!
