“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.”

“My dogs are my world. They aren't the easiest and I was hesitant to leave them in someone else's care. My husband and I chose Bethany. She had no problems with them and for the first time in years we are able to go away. We are confident knowing Kingsley and Rosa are being well taken care of by her. I highly recommend Bethany.”

About: Years of Experience: 7 I have been caring for pets for seven years, raising a lovable poodle and a domestic shorthair cat. Through this experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet behavior, training, and daily care. I know how to cater to different personalities—whether it’s providing energetic playtime, gentle walks, or a cozy lap for cuddles. I’m attentive to their needs, from feeding routines to potty breaks, and I always ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is active and playful or relaxed and independent, I’ll treat them like my own! I work remotely, so I have plenty of time taking care of pets. I have a domestic shorthair cat in my house which is pretty friendly. I have a single house with a big yard that enables the dogs to run around and play. There are plenty of cat toys in my house.

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. Although I haven't owned a dog myself, I've spent years helping neighbors and friends by feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for their pets while they were away. I've also house sat for a home with three cats, making sure they stayed on their normal routine and received plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so I take the time to learn their routine and follow your instructions carefully. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just sticking to a familiar schedule, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to details, and I know how important it is to keep pet owners updated. I'll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I make sure each visit includes plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, or quiet companionship based on your pet's needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'll do my best to maintain their regular routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any household rules you've established. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks unless in a designated enclosed area, and I pay close attention to their surroundings to keep them safe. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and work to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible. I'm happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
Caroline is absolutely amazing! She quickly formed a wonderful bond with our 16-year old spitfire. Rosie looked forward to Caroline's drop-ins and it was so comforting knowing that our special girl was in such capable hands. Caroline is also great at communicating which was helpful for us a first-time Rover clients. We give Caroline five stars and beyond!
Michelle is great with my dog Sasha. We have used her many times. She gets to know your dog’s personality and doesn’t hesitate to keep you in the loop and ask questions if something seems off. She sends great pictures and visit summaries. Michelle continues to be a go-to sitter for us.
Michelle agreed to watch my new puppy with very short notice when I had to take my other dog to a vet. Her communication was very prompt and on point. I just got the puppy a week ago and I think I was that neurotic new mother who had too many requests. Mechelle was very understanding and open to my requests. She seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with Bo (our new puppy) and send me the cutest pics. When I got home, Bo was asleep in his pen tired from all the playing. I decided to ask Michelle to come back regularly until Bo is a bit older so I can go to work rest assured that he is in good hands.
Julia was wonderful with my puppy! She was so gentle, patient, and kind, which really put me at ease as a first-time puppy parent. My pup warmed up to her right away upon first meeting. I can tell she is a gentle caring human. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him—highly recommend!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wilmington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
