Dog Walking Wilmington

About: I have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, ear/eye drops) as well as experience with senior and small dogs especially. Senior care is my strength but I love dogs of all ages. I work from home part time and am home all day Friday-Monday. There are no children or pets in the home so I am able to provide my undivided attention. Your dog will be inside my home most of the day as I do not have a yard. I do however have a large park/lake across the street that I frequent that is great for walks.

About: I’ve always been a dog person! I grew up around animals and have had both cats and dogs my whole life. For the past 14 years, I’ve also cared for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ pets, so I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I love getting outside for walks—whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer adventure, whatever is best for your pup. I had a baby in February, and we’ve made daily walks and hikes part of our routine. Since losing my own dog in May, I’ve really missed having a furry walking companion. I’ll typically have my baby with me, either in a stroller or baby carrier, so your dog will need to be comfortable around babies. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like my own. I’ll always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re having a great time. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to provide walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love having animals as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, as I have a cat of my own who prefers being the only furry friend in the house. In your home, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing lots of love, feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’ll also help keep things tidy along the way so your home is just as you left it.

About: Having a passion for animals had allowed me to be able to adapt to the needs of each pet I encounter. From ferrets to good ol' doggos, I am comfortable with all sorts of pets. I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!

About: I worked as a vet tech for 6 years and dog grooming for 4 years. Ive had dogs my whole life. I can't wait to meet your family member! I love walking and what's better than walking? Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)

“Paula was professional and great with my dogs. She took really good care of them on their walks. Thank you. I will hire again in the future.”

“My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.”

“Velvet continues to do a great job with Tank and Gelo! She’s reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. My dogs are comfortable with her, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her!”

About: Hi, I’m Moira! I’m a recent college graduate with a BA degree, and I’m so excited to offer loving, reliable care for your pets. Animals have been a core part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I’ve had the joy of caring for everything from dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, and guinea pigs! Because of this lifelong experience, I have a deep connection with animals and understand their unique personalities, routines, and body language. Whether your pet needs an active walk, gentle playtime, or just a cozy companion while you're away, I treat every animal in my care like family. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and dedicated to keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved! Pet care is truly the highlight of my day! Aside from attending school on weekday evenings, my schedule is completely open. I’m available every weekday morning and afternoon for drop-in check-ins, energetic playtime, feeding, and walks. My weekends are also entirely free, so I can give your pets my undivided attention! I love building my day around keeping animals happy, comfortable, and well-cared for, ensuring they get all the sweet affection they deserve while you’re busy. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my absolute highest priorities. Having grown up with pets my entire life, I naturally treat every animal as if they were my own. I pay strict attention to detail, following your exact care routines, securing all doors and gates, and creating a calm, soothing atmosphere where your pet feels totally at ease. Whether it’s double-checking leashes or sending you sweet photo updates, I ensure your pet stays safe, cherished, and loved while you’re away.

For quick drop-ins, I focus on providing essential care, including feeding, refreshing water, and giving them some affection and playtime to keep them happy and comfortable until their owner returns. My goal is to make each visit a positive experience, leaving both pets and their owners with peace of mind.

About: I had a dog in my childhood that I cherished, I foster dogs on occasion, and I frequently walk and take care of the dogs in my neighborhood Currently in-between jobs so I can walk or take care of dogs with a really flexible schedule. Mostly from the morning to evening times can work. I live in a safe, dog friendly townhouse that is good for walks and I live near a bunch of parks, dog parks, and walkable sidewalks.

About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.

About: Hi! I may not have a ton of recent reviews, but I’ve been on Rover since 2019, and animals have always been my passion 🐾 I currently work as a relief veterinary assistant at CAMP LA in San Pedro and have been there for 5 years. Over that time, I’ve worked both full-time and part-time, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and medical care. These days, I’ve shifted into a more flexible schedule so I can spend time with my baby, but animal care is still a huge part of my life and something I truly love doing. I’m also continuing my education to become an RVT and have a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. I absolutely love what I do, and honestly, I’ll probably be more excited to meet your pet than they are to meet me 😅 During the weekdays, I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my little one is with me. Because of that, I do require pets to be very friendly and comfortable around a baby. She’s gentle and used to animals she treats our two cats like royalty. Current availability: Drop-in visits Dog walks (best for dogs ~40 lbs or under) For larger dogs or house sitting, I’m available during evening/night hours (around 8 PM–4 AM). If your pet is a good fit, I would truly love to care for them and treat them like my own. I currently work as a relief veterinary technician, and since becoming a mom my schedule is more flexible, but my little sidekick comes with me 😊 (don’t worry, she’s friendly… just a tiny gremlin lol). Services I offer: Drop-in visits: All sizes welcome, as long as your dog is friendly House sitting: Available for friendly pets Dog walking: Small to medium dogs preferred; larger dogs are okay for walks during evening/night hours when my baby is asleep (for everyone’s safety) Boarding: Small dogs only (apartment rules), must be friendly with babies and cats My goal is to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy me, my baby, and your pet 🐾💛 I live in an apartment (not fenced), so for boarding in my home, I can only accept small dogs. Your pet must be very friendly and comfortable around a toddler and cats, as I have an 18-month-old and two cats at home. My cats are used to dogs as long as the dog is respectful, and my little one is gentle, but safety for everyone is my top priority. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom during the day, pets need to be especially friendly if I’m caring for them while my child is awake. For evening/overnight services (after 8 PM), I’m able to care for pets on my own, but I still require them to be friendly and safe to handle. Why you can trust me: I’ve been pursuing a career in animal care for years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University and also have my veterinary assistant certification. I’ve worked at CAMP LA in San Pedro for 5 years as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a relief technician on weekends while continuing my education to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I’ve also volunteered with Marine Mammal Care Center and have two sweet male cats of my own. My goal is simple: To provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them comfortable, I’ll make sure they feel cared for every step of the way 💛

“Elaine was very friendly and considerate. My dog loved Elaine from the get-go. She visited to walk my dog as promised/planned, and she gave plenty of photos and videos after each of her visits. I would definitely consider hiring Elaine again the next time I have to leave my dog home alone.”

Jason R.

“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”

“Ivy has been consistently punctual arriving to our home to pick up my dog. I really appreciate her.”

About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.

About: I have experience caring for both my own dogs and my neighbors' dogs. I am familiar with both small and larger breeds, and I have worked with older dogs that require extra attention and care. My empathetic nature makes me well-suited to take care of your beloved pups. I am currently working part-time, so walking your pups would be more than just a job—it would be a hobby that allows me to spend time with beautiful animals. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are top priorities in my pet care approach. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's residence, I ensure a secure environment by implementing measures such as regular safety checks, secure enclosures, and pet-proofing spaces. I maintain open communication with clients to understand their pets' specific needs, preferences, and any health concerns. This personalized care extends to providing a clean and stimulating environment with enriching activities tailored to each pet's temperament and energy level.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 6 years, my own dog, my brother’s 2 dogs, chicken and cats. I trained my dog from just YouTube and he is perfect. I’ve started to watch my neighbors dogs this summer, going for long walk and regular care. I’m currently on summer break so I have too much free time. I spend my days at the mall or at my brothers house volunteering to watch his dogs, even when it’s just for an hour. I have a fenced area and I’m very strong and fast so I can catch any dog if somehow the leash magically disappears. At home the door stays locked.

About: My mom and I had a loveable and adorable black pomeranian. I helped with potty training him from when he was a puppy. I thought him tricks, walked him, helped give him his medicine, groomed him, feed him & gave him water, and mostly loved him. Dogs are great company and are so loveable. I helped my ex with his tea cup yorkie. I feed him, gave him water, bathed him, cleaned up his pee pee pad, helped with giving him his medicine and I enjoyed his company very much. Dogs are not only our pets but a member of our families and can be at times like our little one. I miss laying down with my dog and my ex's dog also. Currently, right now I'm looking for a full-time or part-time job. So at the time being I have plenty of time to play, walk, feed & be your fur baby. I am available to board him/or her on the weekdays & weekends. I would always take out your pup with his/her harness or leash. I stay in a quiet neighborhood and I will always make sure he/she has food & water as well love.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve had my family dog that I mainly took care of growing up and one of my own now that I’ve had for the last 6 years, if you hire me your satisfaction is guaranteed! I currently work part time at a gym with pretty flexible scheduling so I have plenty of time to check in on your pup when needed. I have my own house with a big front yard and a big fenced back yard for dogs to run around as much as they want.
