âI highly recommend Guillermo! He is always punctual, extremely reliable, and genuinely caring towards our lovely Mylo. His passion for animals is evident, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. Each walk is followed by a thoughtful update with pictures, which we greatly appreciate !!!â

âCaroline is such a sweetie!! She was so great with Luna- they had some fun walks and she got some great pictures of Luna absolutely beaming with joy, it was so cute! Would definitely hire her again and would recommend wholeheartedly!!â
âHolly is a life saver! I had a last minute booking for a dog walk today and Holly made sure she was available to be there for Macho and I appreciate her so much for it! Thanks Holly again you rock!â

âLondon took to Alina right away. Alina was very communicative and sent me pictures of London during their walk. I plan on using Alina to walk London in the future.â


âDylan is just awesome. I moved to my apartment and under last minute circumstances I needed someone to take care of my Dog, Jolene, while I work long hours. He stepped right up and put my mind at ease. He made sure she was comfortable and even helped get her to eat her food! (Had some anxiety after moving) 10/10 recommend!â

âLori 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!â

âSylvia is incredible! She noticed my dog wasn't feeling well on his walk and immediately let me know. She then stayed with him until I was able to rush home and take over. Your furry friend is in the best possible hands with her!â

About: I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each ownerâs instructions closely, give them plenty of attention, and keep their routines consistent. I always take time to make sure they feel calm and happy before and after walks. I am currently transitioning in-between careers, so my availability is pretty flexible. I can do most mornings and afternoons, some evenings and nights as well! I care for pets the way Iâd want someone to care for mineâwith patience, attention, and love. I make sure they have a peaceful space, fresh water, and gentle supervision. I move slowly with new pets so they can build trust at their own pace and feel completely safe in my presence
About: I have taken care of my dogs and cats for over 20 years. I have loved them all! All of them lived to be seniors and I cared for them with all of my heart. I had taken my past German Shephard to extensive training, and I learned a lot! She was a bit difficult with other dogs, but we learned to live with it, and we managed her very well. She was so smart and loving to me and my family. I have pet insurance and have taken pet first aid course. I am home full time and have a fenced in yard. My home is very comfortable for any pet who stays with me, and they will be very well cared for. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet family member! âOf all the special things we choose to do for our planet, let one of them to be of service to animalsâ â Paul Oxton I work from home very part time and I would love to care for your pet while you are away so that they don't miss you as much. I have a large fenced in yard for pets and me to play in. My inside home is pet friendly for your pets to play as well. I am very attentive to animals and always want to make sure they are safe from anything that may hurt them.
âWe had a very positive experience with Jupiter walking our greyhounds! Communication was prompt and easy, and Jupiter was even able to add an additional walk day last minute. We greatly appreciate the care provided and would use walking services again in the future!â

âFrances and Julia did a great job with Marge! They spent extra time hanging out with her after the walk. Marge looked so happy in the photos and we are very appreciative!â

âAfter our first week with Jamie, we can confidently say we are thrilled to have her! She is so attentive to our pup and we feel good knowing sheâs in such good hands.â
About: ⢠Excellent Communication: Frequent photo updates, prompt responses, and precise instruction-following ⢠Affectionate & Experienced: Hands-on care for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments ⢠Puppy Training Skills: Basic commands, potty training, and socialization ⢠Senior Care Expertise: Gentle exercise, medication routines, and extra patience ⢠Focused on Well-Being: Safe, fun, and stress-free environment for every pet I have an 8 year old friendly dog that I have raised, so pet care is part of my daily routine. I raised 2 cats for about the same time and they're now living with my mom. I work from home & have housemates that enjoy pets as well, so your fur baby is well tended to and has company around the clock! Fenced yard they get let out in to play, sun & use bathroom throughout the day. Water always stocked. Bones provided if approved. Spacious, sunny full flooring 1-story pet-safe house, lots of windows, central AC & heat.
About: I am an absolute dog lover. I have 2 of my own, a bichon/shih tzu who Iâve had since I was 13 (sheâs very old and doing great for her age) and a border collie mix who my partner and I rescued in 2020. Sheâs about 7 now, so also in her senior years. I have experience with leash training with her. Iâve lived with dogs all my life and love all types of dogs, big and small. I have various experiences looking after pets for family and friends, while also providing care to children through personal connections or the use of other reputable online care services. I hope to be able to look after your dog(s) and make them feel as loved as you do! I have a full-time job where I work in-office 3 days per week. My partner works fully remote and doesnât mind helping out with walks when Iâm in the office. We take our dogs outside about 4x per day, ensuring a longer walk in the afternoon/evening for brain stimulation! Living in an apartment complex, there is a small dog park area a short walking distance. Our dogs donât enjoy that type of environment, so we donât visit it, but we do have access to a walking trail so in the warmer weather weâll frequent that for exercise with the dogs. When watching other folksâ dogs I usually avoid/limit the visiting dogâs interaction with other dogs for safety purposes. Our dogs are welcoming of other dogs, being older they take the coexisting approach and with time theyâll form their own little pack. My partner and I have both had dogs all our lives, so we know all dogs are different and have their own personalities and needs, which may vary in new situations/environments. We welcome the opportunity to take care of your dogs the same way you do!
About: My family loves animals, especially dogs. We are dedicated to making your dog feel at home while youâre busy. We will always treat your dog with love, compassion and respect. I love puppies but they must be house trained. My wife and I both work from home. I am self employed so I make my own hours and that allows me to provide exceptional care to your dog. We have a 2 year old French bull dog who is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs.Because I am an animal lover and giving back is so important to me I WILL DONATE 5% of my earnings to The MSPCA! I have a fenced in yard and we live on a quiet dead end street. The park is 2 minutes from our home and we go there often to allow our dog to play.I never have more than 3 dogs in my house at once which allows me to give your dog my undivided attention and love. Your dog will always be safe, happy and very well cared for.

Wilmington dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!
