“Rebecca and her daughter did a phenomenal job with Mac! We loved getting photos while they were watching him. We will definitely reach out again if we need a dog sitter when coming into town visiting family! Thanks again!”
“We love Jessica! Our dog - michie- is so excited to stay with her every time. Jessica sends us updates about how Micjie is doing and quickly answers questions! She is easy to coordinate with and genuinely enjoys pets. Highly recommend - she is our number one suttee for our most precious fur family member!!!”
“Neil and Elizabeth were great with our dog Sarge. we have never left Sarge with anyone but family, but all of the photos and videos Neil and Elizabeth sent us, put us at ease. Sarge had a cut on his foot so he required extra love and attention, which he got! We will definitely use Neil and Elizabeth again.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.”
“Peter was an amazing host! Our pup was very well taken care of. We received pictures throughout the week giving updates on how she was doing. She came back home happy which hasn't always been the case with boarding her. Will absolutely use Peter again in the future. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a loving home for their pet!”
“Stacey is the best! This is the second time we’ve left our dog with her and could not be happier. Our dog loves her and she goes above and beyond. She truly cares for our dog as if she were her own.”
“Debbie and Ralph were lovely, and we were happy with this first time stay for our dog Finn at their home over the weekend. They were very attentive to Finn’s needs and routinr, gave him lots of attention, and took him to the city for some adventure. Would certainly book with them again. Thanks!”
“We gave Danielle very little notice for a week stay for our terrier mix as our travel plans had changed. Danielle was calm and gracious and sent lots of photos. Winston came back to us relaxed and happy. So pleased to have found her and will continue to book with her in the future. Thank you so very much!”
“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.”

“Rob took great care of our girl!! Communication and meetup all smooth. Rob sent updates and pics, which we loved. Grateful she was in good hands and made new friends! 😊”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Charley had a great stay with David and his family. I received lots of updates and pictures and she came home happy. I also appreciated that David was flexible when we had some last minute changes to our plans.”
“My pup had an absolute blast staying with Kimberly & Brian! They were very communicative, sent lots of photos, and I felt very comfortable leaving him with them. He had a great time playing in their yard and with their dog Daisy! I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Rita did a great job of figuring out how Olaf would fit in with her dogs and what motivates him. He had a great stay and we'll definitely use Rita again if she's available.”
“We are so grateful to have found Paul & Megan! From the meet & greet to Lilly's extensive 11 night stay, it was evident that Paul & Megan have a genuine care for dogs and treat them with love and individualized attention. The daily pictures and updates of Lilly's activites always brought a smile to our face and were reassuring that she was happy, safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend Paul & Megan and will definitely be using them whenever we need a sitter for Lilly.”
“Jing, made this experience a very positive one. I hadn’t left my 2yr old Zuchon previous to this. I felt very reassured for the duration my fur baby was in her home. My pet enjoyed the doggy day camp, and will continue to use Jing whenever possible. Thanks Rover!”
“Sherlock has stayed with Wendy at least four times now and we are very happy with her care. This was his longest stay, eight days, and while he can be "needy", he quickly settled in with her family and her dogs. We appreciated receiving pictures of him looking happy and well. We will certainly use her again.”

Pete was a terrific host for Hank! Hank and Fudge got along wonderfully and became great buddies. Pete kept Hank on his regular schedule, made sure he got plenty of enjoyable walks, and treated him like one of the family. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Hank was genuinely sad to say goodbye to both Pete and Fudge. We wouldn't hesitate to have Hank stay with Pete again!
David is fantistic with my dog, Cassey. Cassey is getting older. David takes great care of her and caters to her every need. I got many pictures of Cassey during her stay at David's. Cassey is very calm and content when she's at David's. It's like her second home. I am very relaxed on my vacation knowing David it taking care of Cassey. She's always in good hands when she's with David. Thanks David for your kindness and calmness with Cassey.
Asia kept me updated with amazing pictures of my happy boy. He looked so happy to be with her. I felt at peace during my vacation thanks to her. She made drop off and pick up so seamless. Will definitely book with Asia again and I’m already recommending her to family and friends. THANKS, ASIA!
We were so thankful Kristin was able to watch our Golden Retriever, Rylie, on short notice! She has such a calm, easygoing personality that instantly made us feel comfortable leaving Rylie with her. You can tell she truly loves what she does and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. She also checked in a couple of times each day with adorable pictures and little updates, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was such a great experience, and we’d absolutely book with Kristin again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl! 🐾💕
Andrea was AMAZING! I never had to worry about Enzo at all, I knew he was in great hands. Andrea was a great communicator, sent updates and photos, took him on walks and played fetch (his favorite thing ever) and treated him as if he was hers. The only thing I worried about was if he was going to want to come back home with me! Highly recommend!
Fantastic dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my dog and sent daily photos that showed how happy and relaxed he was. Her dog is very friendly and welcoming, and the two got along great. I felt confident that my dog was in gods hands and would definitely use their services again.
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. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wilmington on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,956 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.
