“I have never seen my dog so happy to not be with me! I'm trying to not take it personally and just be happy that we've found such wonderful care for our girl. I can't thank you enough.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Asia was WONDERFUL!! This was our first time leaving our pup Chickoo for such an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to ease my mind. She was extremely communicative, provide multiple updates with pictures daily, and answered any questions we had. Asia took care of Chickoo like he was her own and we are so thankful we found her! 10000% recommend her to anyone looking to have peace of mind while traveling.”
“Danielle and Anthony took great care of Bailey. She came home very happy. They are very responsive and you can tell they love your pet like it is their own! Already booking again for future dates. ?”
“We boarded our dog and cat for a week. Likun is very experienced and attentive in taking care of both cats and dogs. We received daily updates and she also replied to our messages very promptly. Her Border Collie is so sweet and gentil. Our puppy was really happy she has a mature big sister and perfect playmate! The home is well equipped to take care of multiple pets and her backyard is perfect for dogs to play in.”
“Our pets recently stayed with Nicole, and they loved being with her. Nicole sent updates and photos while we traveled which showed how much they were relaxed and enjoying their time with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a someone to care for their pets while traveling.”
“Yang was absolutely amazing watching Tormund. She went above and beyond what I expected from my first time using Rover. She's going to be the first person I go to for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Michelle took care of our lab and German shepherd for a couple of days and she was exceptional! Our dogs had so much fun, we frequently got updates, her communication was great! Our dogs are exhausted, which is always a good thing!! Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to connect with Jessica. She was willing to meet us ahead of our vacation to say hello meet our dog, Domino. Jessica is incredible responsive, enthusiastic and provided wonderful care for Domino while we were away. Not to mention, she sent us lots of cute pics! We will definitely use her again.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ahmed and his family while we were away on vacation for 10 days. They took such great care of our dog, Gracie, and truly treated her like part of their own family. Ahmed was fantastic with communication throughout our trip and regularly shared pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Gracie was. It was clear that she was getting lots of love, attention, and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Ahmed and his family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative dog sitter. We would absolutely love to have Gracie stay with them again!”
“Jing was the best!! So caring, kind and attentive! I know my dog was super comfortable with her and her whole family. She really did such a great job caring for him. We definitely will be hiring Jing again! Thank you so much!”
“We left our 10 month old puppy with Elizabeth and Neil for a week! She had the best time! We received multiple pictures and videos each day. She was well cared for and is still recovering from her visit. She’s exhausted from all the playing. I can’t recommend Elizabeth and Neil enough. They are the best in this business. You walk in as a stranger and walk out as friends. They are the kindest and most caring people I know that truly go above and beyond! If you are looking for care for your pup… they are the ones to choose. ❤️🙌🏼”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Man and Zhen! I could tell she was well cared for and loved on through their check ins and photos. I really appreciated their flexibility and communication. We aren't local but if we're ever back in the area would definitely use them again and would recommend!”
About: Previously had a full time pet care business but we moved! Starting up again because my dog misses her friends. We go outside often and my dog will have your dog playing as much as they’ll allow. Your dog will have plenty of mental stimulation, play time, outside time, cuddles, and chill time. I do allow pets on the furniture but I can avoid it if that is your training. I have worked with many trainers and found my style to be more of keeping the dogs calm and regulated while still allowing for playtime and plenty of mental stimulation. We do about a 1-2 hour walk almost every day if you’d like your dog to come along! I have an extremely flexible schedule. I do not typically leave home for more than 4 hours at a time. I do a park walk or hike for 1-2 hours a day. If it’s too hot or cold we can play in the “dog room” and take quick walks outside or play in the kiddie pool in the yard! We are at the end of a dead end street. I board dogs at my home. I am very safety oriented with my dog and clients’ dogs. We do not go to dog parks. Dogs stay on lead unless they are in a fenced in space. We avoid all other dog interactions in public. I listen to your specific directions for feeding, medications, quirks, reactivity, triggers, etc. I have gates and an extra room if needed. Bring a familiar object for your dog like a blanket and toy for their crate. I only crate at night, for dinner time (to avoid resource guarding), or for safety/health reasons.
“Hannah is wonderful! Our dog, Chente, loves staying with her. She is responsive, professional, and always send photos of our dog on their walks or in her house. Will definitely book again.”
“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.”
“Krystal was very caring and attentive towards Dwight. A day before our travel, Dwight developed a skin infection and was prescribed with a 7 day course of medications. She took utmost care of him and also sent us regular updates and pictures that put us to ease on our trip. We will surely recommend Krystal to take care of your pet.”
About: Hey guys, My name is Katy, I have 2 pharaoh hounds. One is 2 years old very energetic and the other is 9 and like to lounge. Having pharaoh hounds has given me all the experience with dogs that need extra exercise, attention and careful supervision. I am comfortable with all size dogs. Please note I only sit male dogs who have been neutered. Unspayed female dogs are fine as long as they are not in heat during my care. I work M-F 8:30-5:30 but I come home for lunch to let the dogs out for a potty break. I am Home 24/7 on weekends I treat every pet like they are my own. I give them love, attention, exercise and make sure to stick to their routines while the owners are away.

Jessica was super nice during drop off, communicative during our older pups stay with plenty of photos, and super accommodating when our drop off timeline had to change! I would definitely recommend Jessica to other nervous pet parents and will be hiring her again!!
Deborah and Ralph watched our very adorable but high maintenance senior dog Lucy! She was the happiest girl with them! We appreciate the patience and kindness they showed Lucy and the updates while she was staying with you guys! Ralph and Deborah were so nice and friendly and provided us with constant updates and photos! We knew she was in great hands! Lucy can’t wait for her next sleep over with Ralph and Deborah! :)
Our dog, Bailey, had a wonderful time with Mariia & Mikhail – it was very clear from all the photos! We were away for almost two weeks and were initially a little nervous to leave Bailey for so long. Their communication and adorable photos of Bailey having fun, getting a lot of attention, and taking walks put us at ease and made our hearts sing. Our Bailey is 14 years old, so she has some walking limitations, and she has to take medication. Mariia & Mikhail handled everything like pros, and we truly don’t think she could have been in better hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to leave their pet with friendly, responsible, and communicative sitters.
Asia was WONDERFUL!! This was our first time leaving our pup Chickoo for such an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to ease my mind. She was extremely communicative, provide multiple updates with pictures daily, and answered any questions we had. Asia took care of Chickoo like he was her own and we are so thankful we found her! 10000% recommend her to anyone looking to have peace of mind while traveling.
Our feisty but loving Springer Spaniel had a great stay with Nicole. We were nervous to leave Moxie with a new caregiver for a long overseas trip, but Nicole was reassuring and sent frequent pics and updates. She even took our pup to the beach! We definitely recommend Nicole.
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.
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!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wilmington on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,896 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.
