About: I've been a dog sitter for over a decade, on top of having my own pets as well. I've watched dogs as small as shih tzus and yorkies, to dogs as big pit bulls and labs. I am pretty active and love to go on walks, and would love to bring your dog with me! I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibility throughout the day to help take care of your pets! I am available for daytime walks or check-ins almost everyday, and available to house sit any time as long as you reach out in advance! I have house-sat for friends and family for over 10+ years, and feel very comfortable saying that I have always been a clean, respectful house guest. I am a non-smoker; and I would prioritize your comfort and privacy while staying in your home, ensuring your pet is well cared for when I am there.

About: Hi! I’m Youssef and I am an incoming sophomore at the University of Vermont majoring in Finance and minoring in Musical Theater.

I have been taking care of animals for over ten years, ranging from dogs and cats to chickens, birds, and even fish. Please reach out if you have any questions! I am usually always free, and I love getting my daily steps in whether it be walking or running. If I am not available, I will change my schedule so no misbookings happen!

“Holly is so amazing and caring! You can tell she truly has a love for animals and their well-being. She is great with communications and responds quickly. She looked out for my dog like if he was her own and that really meant a lot to me. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Corrine is a blessing. I injured myself and was unable to walk my pup, she responded to a last minute request, had her own supplies, and walked him far enough that when he came home, he was exactly how I like him to be, exhausted. I will definitely use her services again.”

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.
“Alina has been walking my dog Cooper for 10 months now (time flies apparently) on a consistent schedule. She’s great to work with and if there are scheduling issues she always gives fair notice. Phenomenal person to work with!”
“Carina is the absolute best. She goes above and beyond and you can tell she loves dogs so much. She took such good care of my dog Kate, and I would recommend her care to anyone!!”
“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”
“Catherine has been great with our 2 black labs the last couple of months. They get excited every time she comes to the door, because they know they're going for a nice walk. We are scheduled for 3 walks a week but with the holidays, snow days,and work from home days the schedule has fluctuated drastically. Catherine has been very accommodating. I highly recommend her services.”
“Kerri has been walking Zuko (mostly) daily for about a month and she has been wonderful! We have a flexible schedule and she is extremely responsive, Zuko loves her and has great fun on their walks. She is always prepared with extra poop bags and is always willing to refill his water or feed him lunch or give him a treat before leaving if ever I’ve requested it! If you need a regular walker in the area I’d definitely recommend her!”

“Lori has been so wonderful with our pup! He can be very attached to us at times and she's been so patient with him. Now he is scratching at the door to walk with her when she arrives! We feel so lucky to have Lori as our dog walker and know Maverick is in such good care!”
“Rebecca was so communicative for both of Pepper’s walk and took pictures both times, always a great relief for me. Pepper was obviously well taken care of and we will definitely be using Rebecca again!”
“I don’t have to worry about a thing with him coming to my home and taking care of my dog. He’s has been very reliable and trustworthy which is very important to me. He’s also great with my elderly deaf dog and leaves detailed reports and pictures daily.”
About: I’ve had 2 black labs of my own for over 7 years now, and a lot of experience with walking, feeding, and bathing them, and even experience with behavioral issues as they are both rescues. During the summer, I dog walk for a local business and usually walk about 5 different dogs per day (individually or in pairs). When house sitting, walking, or just hanging- out with your dog, their safety is of the utmost importance to me while we have fun walking, playing, etc. My availability is very flexible! I can care for your pet on both weekdays and weekends, all times of day when I’m not working at the dog daycare, boarding, and training facility! I am very confident in dog walking as I have over 4 years experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am comfortable walking them on main roads and ensuring the safety of myself and your pets. Pet sitting at a clients home, staying over-night, and dropping in throughout the day is also okay with me!

Guillermo took our 5 month puppy Maple out for their first walk today, he’s taken time to get to know her, understand her needs and has had great communication from first contact! Looking forward to their bond grow stronger as they get to hang out more times :) thank you!!
Ian was fantastic with our separation anxiety dog! He was patient with him and allowed him to adjust to him gradually. This was the first time we were able to travel without worrying. Ian sent plenty of photos and kept us updated with our pup’s progress. We will definitely use Ian again. He was so thoughtful in following all our instructions and skillful in providing our pup with plenty of mental stimulation.
Wen Shin was amazing with our two dogs, Ginkgo and Peanut. They are very anxious and have limited experience with strangers. As an overprotective dog parent, she took all my concerns very seriously and was able to accommodate all my requests to make me trust that my dogs were in good hands. They feel comfortable with her and even are sad to see her go once the walk is over! She is now our go-to dog walker or sitter for whenever we might need one. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wilmington on Rover is $26.64 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,520 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wilmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wilmington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Wilmington.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilmington. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
