House Sitting Wilmington

“Ivy took a good care of our dogs for 9 days including administering insulin shots to one of our senior dogs. All of our 3 dogs warmed up to Ivy right away because of her calm demeanor, and Abi, the young GSD, even got zoomies while we were away which tells us she was very comfortable with Ivy. Ivy is also a great communicator, flexible, and always punctual. Thank you Ivy!”

“Bethany has quickly become my favorite sitter! It is obvious my furbabies feel safe and at home with her. She did a great job grooming the girls, and keeping our hope clean and organized. Even though I didn’t have the best reception, Bethany still continued to provide pictures and updates that warmed my heart. She’s the absolute best!”

“I’m so happy we found Ji Hae! She’s so communicative and followed all our instructions exactly. Shes experienced with caring for large dogs which was especially helpful for our two pups. It was so nice traveling and knowing she was taking care of our dogs and our home! Definitely will be reaching out again!”

“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.”

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: 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 spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks and a local beer lab, which basically means 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.

“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.”

“Kelsi is great! She stayed at my home with my pup all day while I was out of town. She sent me updates and pictures of my pup which I really appreciated. She did great following his routine and accommodating to my pups behaviors. Overall Kelsi is kind and caring and I’m hoping to book her again soon!”

“Joel is the absolute best! He looked after my cat for 10 days when I went on vacation and I got multiple updates a day and lots of photos of how much fun they were having together! Joel was the perfect house guest. I swear he left my home cleaner than when I left. My cat was so relaxed and happy when I got home I knew without a doubt that Joel had treated him just like his own fur baby. I will be singing Joel’s praise for weeks to come and have already booked another sitting with him!”

“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”

Sam A.

“Allen is an awesome dog sitter! We have two high energy doodles, one of whom is blind, and he took really good care of them while we were away. He sent plenty of pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and when he left, they were standing at the guest bedroom door looking for him. We highly recommend Allen!”

“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”

Jessica K.

“This was my 1st time using Rover and was so lucky to have found Jordan. She did a pre-visit to meet my puppers and get care details. She was on time, very professional and stayed in communication all say with pictures and updates. Having her with my dog in his environment, I was able to relax knowing he was taken care of. 5 Stars, would recommend.”

Jennifer J.

“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”

Brooke M.

“Jackson stayed at our home with our two hounds for about two weeks while we travelled internationally. We were so happy to have him! He was attentive, caring, and kept our house in tip top shape while we were away. He made sure to text us daily with updates and sent the best photos of our boys. Truly appreciative of his excellent service”

Alison S.

“Had a great experience with Brendan for our first time with Rover. He was easy to coordinate with, patient and kind with our dog, and was very communicative while watching her!”

About: Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’ve always had a passion for animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I started pet and house sitting for friends and family, and over the past couple of years I’ve also cared for pets through Rover. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. Cats are my favorite. I love their unique personalities, but I also have experience caring for dogs and birds. Throughout my life I’ve had cats, small and large dogs, and cockatiels, which has given me experience with a variety of pets. I currently have a German Shepherd, so I understand the importance of keeping dogs active, engaged, and well cared for. I’m dependable, detail oriented, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow it closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, giving simple medications, or spending extra time playing and keeping them company. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping you feel at ease while you’re away! I’m a self-employed business owner with a flexible schedule, which allows me to adapt to a variety of pet care needs. I offer weekday and weekend availability and am happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your pets. I take respect and trust seriously, using positive reinforcement and plenty of love. I follow the rules and guidelines set by owners to maintain consistency and respect boundaries. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel at ease and provide care that keeps them happy and secure in their familiar surroundings.

“Lauren is amazing! She stayed at our house with our dog and two cats for eight days. She truly loves and cares for animals, she was communicative, detailed and left our house in perfect condition.”

“Elaine was absolutely amazing. She sent tons of pictures of our little guy and spent a lot of quality time with him. She was such a great sitter and can’t wait to book her again! Highly recommend.”
