“Steven was great with our senior cat. He’s incredibly communicative, kind, and very obviously an animal lover. We knew our cat was in good hands while we were gone. I highly recommend him.”
“Tom was great! He was very receptive and kept us in the loop with how our dog was doing during his visit. Because she is very timid with new people, he was willing to do a meet and greet with her beforehand. Tom was also very flexible with some last minute schedule changes. Thank you so much Tom!”
“Caroline was so great, Harvey absolutely loves her! From the second she introduced herself to him, he took to her. He is normally anxious and a little kiddish but Caroline did such an amazing job making him feel comfortable. Absolutely will be hoping to use her again!”
“Alina’s been taking care of my dog Joba while I’m at work. He loves his walks with her and I feel very comfortable leaving her to tend to him when I’m not home. Alina responds promptly and is very accommodating. She arrives on time and gives a great update on her walk with Joba. I highly recommend Alina for Rover services!”
About: I adopted my first dog in second grade. He was my responsibility and as I got older, I learned that I loved going for walks outside as much as my dog. Now that I'm older, I love taking friends' dogs for hikes in new locations. I have even managed to train one of my friend's reactive dog so she pulls on the leash less. I also briefly fostered animals when I was in graduate school. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have plenty of hours to devote to your pet and look forward to enjoying plenty of summer outside time with your dog. I have walked a wide range of dogs, including a couple of reactive pit bull mixes. I have experienced triggering situations with dogs and know how to either handle them or avoid them.
About: I’ve taken care of pets, my own or others ever since I’ve was in kindergarten. I am an ordained Animal Chaplain. I have studied animal behavior and animal ethics. I can bring peace to your animals that are missing you while you are away. I work part-time so I’m happy to take care of animals as they fit into my flexible work schedule. I am available on weekends also. I have a fully fenced backyard to let out dogs. I am familiar with crate training and I’m able to crate dogs if needed. I can walk dogs and help them to feel at peace and ease while they are away from their owner, or their owner is away from them.
“Appreciated Danielle taking care of my cats while we were out of town. I knew they would be happy and safe with her again and I appreciated the daily picture updates.”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through dog-sitting for family and neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs during weekends, holidays, and overnight stays, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners are away. My schedule allows me to offer flexible availability on weekends and Mondays, making me a great option for pet owners needing care during long weekends, vacations, or day trips. I understand how important trust is when caring for your pet. When your pets are in my care, I will make sure they are fed, walked, and overall cared for. I will treat you, your home, and your pets respectfully and with genuine intent, just like I would with my own home and pets.
“Holly did a terrific job! She dealt with an unexpected situation (my fault, gave her the wrong key) with ease. She inspires confidence, took the time to take care of everything we requested.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 13 years old. From being the designated dog walker/entertainer at family party’s to overnight pet sitting at friends houses. I love all animals and am qualified and excited at the opportunity to work with your pets! I am currently working a short, part-time job in the area so I have plenty of availability for walks and play time with your pets! I am available for routine drop-ins/walks along with overnight stays and check ins. I am ver comfortable in new environments and am confident in my ability to let your pets in the back yard safely and also crate them if need be. I want to build a safe and trusting environment for your pet in their home.
About: I have cared for a variety of different animals from dogs, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters. I have stayed at family’s homes to care for their pets, and I have also had pets stay in my home to care for them. I am experienced in walking bigger dog breads as well as small ones. I am currently a college student so I have extended breaks during different times of the year so my availability ranges. From May-August, December-January I have the most availability. Other times of the year, late afternoon-evenings, and weekends is my availability. I will be sure to keep your animals safe, well cared for, and loved while they are in my care. I am well versed in learning the routines of animals while I care for them, so your pets will be very comfortable while you are away, or under my care in general. That being said, I would also always be respectful of families homes as if they were my own while caring for your pets so pet owners can feel comfortable while they’re away.

I will care for your pets as if they were my own and will be sure your home is left in the condition in which you left it when you get back.
“Kiley was amazing with my cat Fred. She was punctual and took such good care of him while I was away. He loves attention and I could tell by all the great photos she was giving him plenty. I will definitely be requesting her in the future and would highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.”
“Rosemary was an amazing caretaker for our two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time for check-ins, gave detailed reports of her visit & tons of photos. She went above and beyond caring for our cats (and finding them in their many hiding spots); we couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience.”

Kind, intuitive, and easy to work with. Wen Shin, with no advanced noticed, was able to meet me for a key hand off and immediately cover a weekend of drop-ins with my little guy. They took great care of him and followed all instructions. Looking forward to booking again!
Erin checked in on our cats while we were out of town for a couple of days and she was amazing!! Went the extra mile to make sure our kitties were taken care of and sent lots of pics and updates. So grateful to have found her, we recently moved and finding a reliable, trustworthy sitter can be difficult. We will definitely be using Erin in the future.
Trisha was fantastic and things couldn't have gone better! My cat, Wilma, is very skiddish. She took to Trisha on our 'getting to know you' visit. They say animals know and Wilma knew she was safe with Trisha. She communicated and shared pictures daily. That meant alot. I could tell Wilma was happy and calm in the pictures. Can't say enough good things about Trisha. She will be Wilma's caregiver whenever I go out of town!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wilmington on Rover is $19.7 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilmington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
