“I can’t say enough amazing things about Likun—she is truly the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment Chewy arrived, he was showered with so much love, attention, and care. 🐾💛 She spent tons of time playing with him and made sure he was always happy and engaged. Her large backyard was an absolute dream—plenty of space for Chewy to run around, explore, and have the time of his life! It honestly felt like a mini vacation for him. What really stood out was the 1-on-1 attention she gave him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Chewy absolutely adored her. I picked him up relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and full of love for your pup, Likun is it. We will definitely be booking with her again—Chewy can’t wait to go back!”
“Penny loved staying with Monica! She was safe and well taken care of! We received pictures everyday and she helped her settle in so we didn’t have to worry while we were away. Definitely will use her again! Thank you Monica!!”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Chikoo had a great time with Danielle and her family and was very well taken care of. She got along very well with their dog and enjoyed playing with everyone. Thanks Danielle!”
“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“Honestly was hesitant at first booking with Jessica and her husband because our dog, Bella, can be anxious and timid around men but she seemed to adjust fine and have a great time during her stay! They sent us lots of texts and pictures of Bella during her stay. I liked the fact they took Bella out for a nice walk in the neighborhood! Definitely would rebook and recommend. Thanks again for watching our big baby!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She watched my pup, in-house for a weekend I had to attend a wedding out of town. She came over a week or so beforehand to meet my dog, walked in the door, and my pup immediately loved her - Daisy can be a little fussy, so Elizabeth must just have that special something that dogs can sense :) She sent a lot of photos and videos throughout her stay of all the fun they were having and through each update it was clear how much love and attention my pup was getting. It was really reassuring to know that my pup was being so well taken care of. They will definitely be my new go-to!”
“Yang has a wonderful caring family that loves animals. My dog can be scared and nervous about new people and other dogs but he loved Yang and her family. Because of my dog’s behavior, she agreed to do a trial stay. I appreciate how Yang kept me updated on how my dog is doing.”
“Luke was the best dog sitter for our Jack Russell Terrier! He went above and beyond when our flight home was canceled and was able to accommodate. He was extremely thorough with communicating to us and providing photos of our pup which made us feel so grateful to have someone who loves dogs. We would recommend Luke without hesitation and look forward to having Luke care for our dog again!”
“Highly recommend Gregg for all your pet needs. He’s reliable, punctual and genuinely cared for my dog Coty. Gregg was understanding while my dog adjusted to his new surroundings and sent daily video updates. I would definitely board Coty with Gregg again!”
“Jennifer and her family were so wonderful. They provided a lovely and safe home for Walter while we were on vacation. Her dog Molly even taught our dog good manners. Highly recommended!!!”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“Katherine was wonderful with my dog! We did a meet and greet before the stay and my dog was so excited to see her when I dropped her off for the extra long weekend! I would highly recommend Katherine!”
“Another great stay with Mary! Ellie was so happy being looked after by Mary and she came home super relaxed. Mary sent several pictures throughout our pup's stay. All we could ask for! Thank you Mary!”
About: I've loved animals ever since I can remember. I grew up with dogs, and can't imagine life without them. Their gentle, innocent spirit, and their total trust in us is disarming. I absolutely love caring for dogs! I have a Havanese dog who just turned 2 and would love to be around other friends!! I have a pet friendly house hold and would love & care for your pet like our own kids. Your furry friends are allowed the run of the house, and are welcome on the furniture. They can sleep wherever they prefer, in their beds, on the furniture, or in their crate (per your request only). I follow your routine, so please let us know of any preferences or restrictions, both dietary and behavioral. I offer lots of treats, hugs and kisses! My big yard is fenced in, so your doggies are always safe. I stay with them in the yard, they are never left unattended. I work from home and have flexible schedule. I will take out the dog every 2-3 hours which includes walking around the neighborhood or dog park (if owner permits) or backyard playing. I have a nice big fenced in backyard where the dogs can play anytime of the day whether permits. For Boarding in My Home: - My preference is for small breeds under 20 lbs. · Rabies, DHPP/DHLPP and Bordetella vaccines are required. · Make yourself at home: Home is pet-safe and clutter free. Yes, pets are allowed on the furniture! · Crate options: I have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or needs one. Crates get cleaned after each visit. · Constant check-ins: I work from home full time, so I'm able to check on your dog throughout the day

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
It was Bella's first time with Deborah and Ralph and she had an enjoyable time. They made her feel right at home. Every day they sent a message on how she was doing. When I picked her up she was so happy and relaxed. I will definitely have them watch Bella again for me.
Great communication and a gentle sitter with the right energy and attitude for my pup! She was super accommodating for all my dog’s quirks and habits and truly welcomed her into her home. The frequent updates were such an amazing touch - like we left our dog with a family member. Thanks Deepika!
Gregg did one overnight stay with Sage for us as a trial run for a longer stay later this summer. We were pretty nervous as we’ve never traveled without Sage before and he can be very anxious, but Gregg was incredibly communicative during the stay, asked lots of questions before the dropoff to make sure Sage’s needs were met, and he and his family took great care of him!
Jessica was great with Teddy, my golden retriever, when he boarded with her. She sent updates and photos daily and seemed to treat him just like her own dogs. I trust her completely and won't hesitate to have Teddy stay with her in the future. I highly recommend this wonderful sitter.
Yiru is an incredibly responsible and thoughtful sitter! She took wonderful care of Rosie and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up times. Yiru is extremely polite and easy to communicate with—I felt completely comfortable leaving Rosie in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!
Veena was wonderful! She made sure we had a meet and greet prior to Chickoos stay and was communicative throughout his time there. It made us feel better seeing pictures/videos and she always kept us informed. We will absolutely work with Veena again and highly recommend her for your pups!
I had Ariel watch my senior pug for several days while I was on vacation, and he did an outstanding job! My pup requires daily medication, and Ariel made sure it was given on time while keeping me updated with clear and consistent communication. He went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable being away, which is so important when leaving an older dog in someone else’s care. It was such a relief to know my pug was in good hands! Would absolutely recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. :)
Ashley was so kind and really enjoyed watching Tella for us. She stayed in contact while we were away letting us know how Tella was doing and sent pictures. Tella seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked her up; she didn't even want to get in our car to come home! Haha thank you Ashley! Would definitely use her again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Wilmington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wilmington on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,983 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wilmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Wilmington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Wilmington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wilmington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wilmington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Wilmington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
