“Liz is an amazing caregiver for our little pup! She gives attention to his puppy experience and communicates with me about the details. She really cares and is so very capable with pups!”
“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!”
“Holly is amazing! I have a reactive dog that I adopted and she took the time to let my dog get to know her and now she loves Holly! Shes always on time and if she’s running late always communicates! The best dog walker!”
“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!”
“After 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 she’s in such good hands.”
“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!”
About: Hello there! I am a full-time musician and a major dog-lover. I have a 5 year old rescue Australian Cattle Dog mix. I love to play, walk and run with furry friends and make music with them (This is quite an entertaining activity for both of us, and a great way to keep them busy). Most of my experience has been in dog-walking, but I'm also a babysitter and love caring for kids. I have a 1 year old who is the joy of my life! I am available for one-time help with your fluffy friend as well as regular help since my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I am quick on my feet and great at tidying up after dogs and tiny humans, and can be very firm with pups if necessary. Happy to speak more in person! I’m currently working part-time and mostly on weekends since I’m a musician, so I have quite a bit of time during the week to drop in, feed and walk your furry friends I have a fenced in backyard and an extra crate for pups that I’m boarding, but also make sure that when I’m house-sitting, your fur baby has water, a clean crate and whatever else they need
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience caring for dogs through my previous work at PetPals, as well as pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I prioritize time for walks, play sessions, and feeding, ensuring each pet receives personalized attention. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate various needs, whether it’s daily visits or extended care. Your pets will always feel cared for and loved. In my home, I create a safe and stimulating environment with secure spaces for play and relaxation. I ensure all pet supplies are pet-friendly and that there are no hazards. In clients' homes, I follow their routines closely, respecting their space while providing the same level of care. Trust is essential, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates to keep pet owners informed and at ease.
About: I have my own dog who’s 6 years old, I’ve trained him completely. I’ve also been dog sitting for my family since I was 10, so about 8 years. I also worked in a senior assisted living facility for 3 and a half years! I just graduated high school in June and am looking for a summer job/ side hustle to keep me busy this summer! I’m available pretty much every day of the week! Your pets safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I’ll always follow your Instructions to make sure your animal is taken care of to the best of my ability.
“We 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!”
About: Hi, I’m Ryan! My wife and I live in Wakefield with our 3-year-old dachshund, Chip, who loves meeting new dogs. We both work from home and are always around. We’re comfortable with dogs of all types; every size, age, energy level, etc. We both have had dogs since the day we were born. My first dog was a black lab that was a year older than me. When I was 8 we got a golden retriever and I was responsible for feeding and walking every day. He even slept in my bedroom every night. Over the years I had 2 more goldens and a shitzu. My wife grew up with a jack russell, several dachshunds, a PBGV and a Chihuahua. I’m very active, so high-energy dogs get plenty of walks, yard play, and hikes on the nearby trails. My wife has a soft spot for senior dogs and gives older pups the slower pace and extra care they need. I run my own local business and my wife works from home, so someone is almost always around. Your dog won’t spend the day alone. You’ll get photos and updates throughout every stay. Fenced yard, walkable neighborhood, and hiking nearby. Guest dogs are part of the family here. They’re free to roam the house, hang out with us on the couch, and sleep wherever they’re comfortable. No crates or kennels unless your dog prefers one. Chip is friendly and social and makes a great playmate.
About: I’m a proud mana of a Chihuahua girl, named Bailey. She is 13 yrs oldWe just lost her best bud, Tater. Toward the end we had him in a stroller for walks bc his quality of life was important to me, as will your beloved pets’. I only take in 2-3 dogs at a time because I want to be able to give each dog lots of attention & TLC. I’ve always had pets growing up; dogs, rabbit, iguana, gerbils, so taking care of animals is a natural instinct. I’m always outdoors doing something active, so your pet is guaranteed to get ample exercise. We treat each dog as if it were our own. They have the run of the house and can sleep where they land. Im a dog mom with 1 dog at home and 2 kids in school. I’m free weekdays and some weekends to take care of a pet. I can accommodate dog walks best between 9-1pm on weekdays while my young kids are in school. I have a fenced in yard and wide open space behind my property which connects to endless trails. My dogs like the company of other animals but I also have the option of keeping them separated.
About: I grew up around animals of all sorts. My grandfather had huge hunting hounds and cats. My other grandfather had a german shepherd who would pull my sled in winter. When I was seven years old I helped my father train our puppy. I love animals they always have a way of making me smile. I’m a stay at home mom to two wonderful children who are both at school. I’d love to take care of your pet with all the spare time I have. I love going on long walks and letting the dog sniff as much as they want. I love throwing the ball for them to chase and I love petting their soft fluffy fur. For my long coat friends I’d love to comb it out and make it shine.
“Erin was very responsive, prompt and it looks like she took good care of Dante. Looking at the pictures and the tale wagging he is very happy with the extra walk in the middle of the day.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Wilmington is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,346 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Wilmington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
