“David G. took care of my dog, Cassey over the weekend. David did a fantastic job! He gives Cassey a lot of care and attention as well as keeping me updated with pictures. My dog is very relaxed when David it taking care of her. Cassey doesn't have any anxity or stress when she's with David G. Great Job David! Thanks”
“Miley stayed with Aurora for 4 nights while I was away on a vacation. Her pup Madi and Miley became BFF’s. She sent regular updates and she was very prompt and quick responding to my texts. Miley is my daughter and I’m very nervous leaving her at someone’s place. But Aurora did a a great job taking care of Miley and treated her like her own pup. I would definitely like Miley to have her next vacation at her place. Adding to this their pup Madi is a wonderful dog very friendly.”
“Ahmed and family were great with Pippi-we received several pictures and updates throughout her stay. Pippi can be a little nervous but they went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. Ahmed and family will definitely be our go to sitter in the future.”
“Frankie had the best time at Michael’s house for the weekend! Frankie can be dog reactive and anxious and Michael made both me and him at ease for the whole weekend and for our meet and greet a couple weeks before. He has a great set up where Frankie was able to play all weekend and was the happiest (most tired) boy! Highly highly recommend Michael! Thank you so much!”
“Very friendly, provided plenty of photos for us to see our dog during her stay. She was very responsive and attentive to the dog. When she got home she seemed happy! Recommended.”
“Emma was great! Our pup had a bit of an injury a few days before his stay, and Emma was very accommodating. Sent us a photo update and was responsive and flexible from beginning to end. Thanks Emma!!”
“Jing, made this experience a very positive one. I hadn’t left my 2yr old Zuchon previous to this. I felt very reassured for the duration my fur baby was in her home. My pet enjoyed the doggy day camp, and will continue to use Jing whenever possible. Thanks Rover!”
“Xiaofan did such a wonderful job taking care of our 8 month old Cane Corso for the last 2 weeks. She made sure that Coco had plenty of walks and play time. Her home is perfect for taking care of dogs. She has a large back yard and a very friendly 8 year old Golden Retriever. Xiaofan sent us lots of text messages every day with updates and photos. She really truly cared about our Coco and made sure that she was well taken care of. We would definitely feel very comfortable leaving Coco with her again.”
“I was super nervous to leave my puppy, who's six months old, with a sitter because he's so young and definitely not the best trained yet. Luciana was so nice and welcoming, with a very clean home and a pretty green area nearby. She was sure to send me pics of Rowan everyday on his walks and it really put me at ease about being away from him. Even with the unpredictability of a puppy, she took great care of him and I'm so grateful. He was perfectly happy and healthy at pickup, with the miracle of all his toys being intact. Thanks again!”
“G is one of the best sitters I have met on Rover. She was really great with our dogs and treated then with love and care. She gave us daily updates on our dogs and made sure that they had plenty of space and time to play. She treated my dogs as her own and let them play and run around her home, sleep on the bed etc. I'm really glad that I left my dogs in her care and would highly recommend her! Milli and Bujji miss you G and they would love to meet you again!”
“Paul and Megan were fantastic. They took such good care of our crazy little corgi, sending us pictures and videos each day while we were away and regular updates about his mood and activities and overall how he was doing. It made it so much easier for our family to be away from our pup for the first time since we got him. Can’t say enough great things about the experience with Paul and Megan.”
“Kimberlyn is wonderful and was so flexible to accommodate us with a change in pickup time! Our golden retriever Maggie has stayed with her many times and always comes home so happy. We would 100% book again!”
“Yet another great experience with Yesika! Communication is top notch and she was gracious and flexible with my schedule. I received so many great pictures that were a wonderful reassurance for me. My two dogs were very happy when I picked them up and are peacefully sleeping off their fun vacation with Yesika.”
“Molly had an amazing time with Luci and her family! She was responsive, and provided multiple updates and photos during Molly's stay. Seeing Molly look so happy and playing in photos/videos was a testament to how comfortable and cared for she was in their home. We would gladly book again and feel so lucky to have had the help! Thank you!!!!!”
“Ranjith & Divya are wonderful sitters! They took great care of our dog, Chief, and provided us with regular updates while he stayed with them. Their fenced in backyard is perfect for exercise & Chief loved playing with their dog, Taco. We are excited to book again in the future!”
“Olympia always has so much fun at Natasha and Jon’s house! They are totally on top of her allergy meds and send tons of photos which is great. She comes home a very happy girl.”
“Michiko and Cliff were great. They sent me pictures and updates every day and took great care of Henry! They were very easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Debra was fantastic! Our Shih Tzu took to her as soon as we met her, and we knew right away that she would care for him as her own. Debra took him on many adventures, sending pictures along the way. She truly went above and beyond. We are so relieved to find someone we can fully trust, especially given our pup's specific medical needs, and will be sure to use Debra whenever we need care.”
“Lori was great! This was my first time leaving my pup and she made it a great experience! Lori was great with the dogs, has a fenced in yard and sent me videos of my pup playing and having a blast! I’ll be sure to use Lori again!”
“This was the 2nd time that Maisie stayed with Carol while we were away. I feel like Maisie has as much fun on vacation as us while away, and there’s nothing better than knowing your pet is happy and well taken care of. Maisie loves to cuddle and relax as much as play, or maybe more than play, and she gets exactly what she needs while staying with Carol and her family.”

Expresso had a great time boarding with Mariia and Mikhail! She seemed to love playing with their dog, and she was happy and confident when I returned. She is a high energy dog who loves to play with other large dogs, so it seems like their dog was a great companion for her. I really appreciate that they took such good care of her.
Asia arranged to meet my Doberman prior which I thought was wise and nice way for us both to build trust prior. During my dogs 5 night stay with Asia, I received consistent updates. I picked up my dog and received her in great spirits. My dogs mental health and body structure seems to be well intact and I’m very pleased with the care Asia provided for my girly, Koukla. Highly recommend and will use Asia again my next trip.
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!
This is the third time we have left Buddy in the care of Cathleen and her lovely family. Cathleen regularly updates with photos and commentary about how Buddy is acclimating to his new environment. Many of her photos are met with bursts of laughter as Buddy appears to be making himself right at home. No problems here. LOL. Thanks, Cathleen!
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!
Gregg did one overnight stay with Sage for us as a trial run for a longer stay later this summer. We were pretty nervous as we’ve never traveled without Sage before and he can be very anxious, but Gregg was incredibly communicative during the stay, asked lots of questions before the dropoff to make sure Sage’s needs were met, and he and his family took great care of him!
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 Pet Boarding in Wilmington on Rover is $66.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,070 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wilmington. About 90% of Wilmington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
