“Just needed someone who could drop by to let out my pup while I’d be gone all day and Cassandra is a gem! Great communication and even though she was only with my dog for a quick potty break she provided many photos of their adventure.”

“We can’t say enough about Elaine! She was very responsive from the very beginning and stayed on top on things 100%. She sent us daily reports and gave us updates about Pickles mood, behavior, and health. Great communication haves us peace of mind. We have a 14 yo cat. Even though she doesn’t require medical care, it need to be feed in small chucks. Elaine got the portions just right for the cat to eat without getting sick. She was very patient with Pickles, looked for her, and play with her to keep her as happy as possible. We recommend Elaine 100%.”


About: Hi, I'm Samantha! I'm a warm, nurturing caregiver with years of experience loving dogs — from owning my own to helping out friends and family with theirs. I know firsthand how much a dog means to a family, and I treat every pup I care for like my own. I'm joined by my daughter Mel, who is my partner in all things dog-related. Mel has a incredibly calm, gentle energy that dogs are naturally drawn to — she's the kind of person a shy or anxious dog will walk straight up to. Together we make a pretty great team. By booking with us, you're also doing something meaningful. Mel lives with blindness, and time with dogs is genuinely something that brings her real joy. Your trust in us gives her that. I'm available mostly during the day and prefer drop-in visits. I gravitate toward calm, gentle dogs who enjoy relaxed company, cuddles, and just being present with people who genuinely adore them. Your dog won't just be checked on — they'll be cherished. I've been caring for dogs for 25 years — practically my whole life. Starting around age 10 I was already responsible for my own dogs, and over the years I've had anywhere from two to seven at a time, spanning every stage of life from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. What I hear most often is that I have a way with animals that's hard to explain. Dogs that are fearful, anxious, or notoriously indifferent to people tend to seek me out anyway. I don't force it — I just make space, and they come. That's been true my whole life. My daughter Mel has six years of her own experience and has a completely natural, unhurried way with dogs. She's the kind of company a dog actually wants — calm, present, no agenda. Just two friends sitting together. Between us, we've handled it all — training, health issues, behavioral quirks, end-of-life care. Dogs in our care are never just managed. They're genuinely enjoyed. We have plenty of daytime availability. Caring for dogs isn't a task for us — it's genuinely the highlight of our day. With my daughters disability (blindness), finding meaningful, joyful experiences is something I'm always intentional about and spending time with dogs delivers that every single time. When visiting your home, I follow your routines exactly as you've set them. I take time to truly connect with your dog rather than just check a box. I'm attentive to their mood, comfort, and needs, and I always leave them calm, loved, and well cared for. You'll never wonder if your pup is okay.
“On time and professional for our meet and greet. Eggnog immediately was himself with her, and she handled it well. I’m a helicopter pet parent and I’m confident I have found the right sitter for my Eggnog.”

About: I'll take care of your pet. As far as experience goes, I've taken care of all kinds of pets from fish to rabbit to cat or dog. I have lots of experience walking dogs for volunteer work. And I volunteer with a local Pet Adoption Agency by feeding, clean litter, playing, walking, and administering medication. I love all animals from small to large. Whether you have an active pup to a senior cat, I will provide a safe, comforting and happy experience. Pet care fits into my life because I have pets and have volunteered to take care of pets. I will take care of your pets as well as you do. I have owned pets since a very young age and can take care of almost any pet. You have your pet in good hands. I can walk, feed, play with your pet so they are never lonely and have a good playmate.
“Zulaiha was excellent! My cats love her, and she took really great care of them. I was actually stressed because this was the first time I was away from them, but she made sure they were all good and they had everything they needed. I'll definitely want her to take care of my cats if I'm ever away on a trip again because I know they'll be in great in hands.”

“Perla is the best. It’s hard to leave my fur babies when I travel but knowing I have someone that takes such good care of them, makes me feel less guilty about leaving them.”

“Donny was friendly, professional, and thoughtful. You can tell Donny really cares about your pet(s) and he provided me frequent and thorough updates on my dog, Possum, every check-in. She was very happy and well taken care of by Donny. I highly recommend booking Donny via Rover and will be inquiring with him again the next time I'm out of town.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was basically a kid, and yes — your dog will become obsessed with me. I’m reliable, patient, and great with pets who need extra attention, belly rubs, or a hype-woman on walks. I’m a full-time student, but my fall semester is ending, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I’m available most days for walks or drop-ins. I only do in-home care, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I’m hypervigilant, gentle, and big on routines—I keep doors secure, follow instructions, and treat your home and pet with respect.

“This was my first time using Rover, and it was hands down the BEST experience I could have asked for, especially with Chris caring for my dog & cat! 🐾 Chris has incredible communication skills and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind :) He is also extremely punctual and reliable, especially when it comes to feeding and walking schedules, which meant everything to me & more. The level of love and care he showed my animals was truly top notch. He followed every instruction perfectly and still found ways to go above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways. For the first time in a very long time, I was actually able to relax and disconnect from “pet mom mode” because I knew my animals were being cared for exactly how I would care for them, if not even better. I also loved the pictures Chris sent, you could genuinely see how much fun my pets were having with him, and somehow he even got my cat to come out and play, which says everything. If you’re thinking about booking with Chris, do it!!! You’ll thank me later & your pets will gain a new best friend 🐾”

“Third time booking Shiela for drop-ins with Taekkie & Zoey! She is punctual and does a lot for the time allotted; also documents everything well and takes lots of pictures for updates. If anything comes up, she communicates right away. Overall, highly recommended. :)”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience in dog walking, pet sitting, and cat care. I started pet sitting in middle school for family, friends, and neighbors! I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. I also have hands-on experience with newborn puppies. I’m happy to care for your cats too! Feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and all the love they need while you're gone. I work from home so I can take your pet to the bathroom whenever they need, take them on walks, and play with them all day :) I live in an apartment but it is very pet friendly. There are many places for dogs to run around or go to the bathroom.

“She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!”

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 am a dog lover through and through. I have owned, cared for and loved dogs of every size and shape my entire life. There isn't a pup too big or too small, too young or too old! I am adaptable and can tailor my care to your dogs specific needs and personality. We're talking walks, fetch, pets, puzzles, games and all the attention a dog could ever ask for! I have experience with dog reactivity and dog based fear aggression. I also have experience in puppy care and senior puppy care! I am blessed to have a very open schedule which allows me to be available and flexible to your needs! :) I look forward to meeting you and your fuzzy family member! I am blessed to have a very open schedule during both the week and weekend, which means I am very flexible and can work with you on your specific needs. I treat every pet I care for as the individual they are. I am adaptable and tailor my care based on your pets needs and personality. I know how stressful it is finding care for your pets (I'm a dog mom too!) and my goal is to make sure I do everything I can so that when your dogs in my care, your mind is at ease.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and Since I was 15 I would dog sit friends and families pets when they wanted to travel or had to work. Some pets I had to also give medication to them. My schedule can vary so I may be able to get you scheduled in so I can take care of your puppy dogs. Would like an extra income please message me see if our schedules work out.. I live in a house with a fence all around and gate in the front so your puppy will have plenty of space to run around my house or go outside for a potty break or get to run around the yard.. I can also easily crate them with a fence inside my house. I do have 2 pups of my own so they can play around if possible.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
Absolutely the best cat sitter who has watched our cat numerous times! From the very first day, Ivy was professional, incredibly organized, caring and communicative. We received wonderful daily updates and pictures that showed our cat was completely relaxed and happy. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our home was left completely clean and tidy, and our fur baby was perfectly cared for. We will absolutely be booking Ivy again and highly recommend her services to any pet parent!

She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!

Amy was an excellent sitter. My cats warmed up to her quickly and were comforted by her presence. I appreciated the many entertaining pictures in the Rover cards during each check-in. She followed all instructions (feeding schedules, litter checks, and cleaning). She understood the cats' needs beyond just food and litter box emptying and even cleaned extra at the end of the scheduled sitting. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and the care she showed for both my cats and my home. If she's still available the next time I need a cat sitter, I will likely call upon her services again.

Roselyn did a great job taking care of my kitten. She followed all instructions well and provided detailed check in notes with pictures. My kitten really likes her as he played with her during both check ins. She also played with him and made sure he had enough food and water before leaving.

Liana was a wonderful cat sitter! She stopped by every day to check on our cat, made sure she was well-fed and happy, and gave her plenty of attention. We came home to a calm and content cat. Always a great sign. Reliable, communicative, and caring. Highly recommend!

My cats immediately loved Olu. While they like company, there’s been very few people they want to run up to and give kisses and cuddles. I knew my cats had an excellent guardian, which made my trip even more relaxing. I loved getting kitty updates. I had a great time visiting with Olu and going over everything. She’s very thorough and caring and she does reiki on people and pets! One of my cats came from a very traumatic start in life. He’s let go of a lot of it but the reiki was such a benefit to both of them, especially him. I can see a big reduction in him bullying my other cat. They both seem more relaxed and happy after their sessions. Thank you for everything!

This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous about having someone come into our apartment that we didn’t know. She immediately came across as very nice and respectful, which put us at ease. She’s in nursing school, clearly intelligent, and was receptive to our feedback (like our “no touch, no talk, no eye contact” rule with Mika). We even chatted afterward, and she just seems like a very genuine person.
