“Yenny is a wonderful person and so kind to our dog Toby. This was our first vacation away from Toby and he hasn’t been around other dogs. I was so relieved when she sent the first update. Toby was calm and settling in. I got daily updates and pictures. Toby was very well taken care of. We will be using Yenny again!”
“Kaweng was amazing. Our previous person had moved out of state so were apprehensive about going to someone new - but Kaweng quickly put our anxiety to rest. He is extremely responsive, sent plenty of videos and photos of the dogs so we knew they were well taken care of. Our older dog has medical issues and skin conditions - and this is the first time ever that he came back in better shape than when we dropped him off! Kaweng was great about giving him his medicine, his special food and supplements, and keeping him clean and groomed. Our dogs were extremely well taken care of and seemed to have a great time and did not want to come home :). I highly recommend Kaweng without reservation.”
“Rita and her fur-fam gave my boy the most wonderful vacation. She is not paid what she is worth - she knows dogs at an expert level, she loves them, her place is set up perfectly for a dog vacation. I was a nervous new mom to leave my dog, but Rita and her two sweet dogs gave my Donut the best experience, opening his personality in wonderful ways and putting me at peace. Thank you for the tlc and ease, and your time, Rita.”
“Tiffany took SUCH great care of our puppy. We dropped off our very energetic 8 month old with Tiffany for a weekend while we went out of town and we knew our pup was in great hands. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter so we were unsure what to expect. Tiffany made us feel so confident and comfy and sent lots of pics. She clearly knows what she’s doing and truly loves dogs.”
“Our pup Lucy had a great time. We received photos and updates throughout the weekend, which we really appreciated. Ranjith & Divya are a very nice family with a great place to host, and always available to answer our questions. Lucy also made a new friend in Taco. She was pretty tired after all that fun!”
“Katheryn was absolutely amazing with her care of our two greyhounds. She was very communicative and attentive to their needs. I highly recommend her and her husband and will trust her with our pets any time! Thank you!”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
“I reached out to Alison when my long time boarder decided to stop their services and I am very glad I found her. She is just amazing and so caring, and took great care of my dog. My dog is shy and can be afraid of other dogs but I could see how happy and comfortable she was around Alison and her dogs. I am usually always anxious whenever I leave my dog but not this time. Alison and her family are amazing and I highly recommend her! Can’t thank you enough Alison!”
“It was our first time boarding on Rover and Vanessa provided a great experience! The process was smooth from booking to pickup, and Vanessa sent plenty of photos and updates so we knew how our pup was doing the entire time. Would recommend!”
“McKenzie was a lifesaver, offering to take my dog at the last minute the day before after I had a last minute cancellation with another sitter! She did a great job taking care of him and sent adorable pictures of my dog with hers! He came back home so happy! Thank you so much again!!!”
“Another great stay with Mary! Ellie was so happy being looked after by Mary and she came home super relaxed. Mary sent several pictures throughout our pup's stay. All we could ask for! Thank you Mary!”
“We recently had Julia dog-sit Ollie for the first time, and it was our first time leaving him with someone outside the family. She immediately calmed our nerves with her excellent communication, frequent updates, and plenty of photos. Ollie looked happy, got lots of walks, and was clearly well cared for. We felt very safe leaving our pet with her and would absolutely use her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was wonderful! Our dog seemed to have a great time with her and her family and came home happy and tired-out. Looking forward to having her in Ashley’s care again the next time we’re in need!”
“Michael was terrific with our black lab! She boarded with Michael for the weekend. He was warm, friendly, and responsible. His communication was great too! I’d love to have him walk or board our dog again soon!”
“Thalia cared for my dog, Cody, overnight for the first time. Everything went very well. He is an anxious little guy, but based on her photos and feedback, I believe it was a good experience for Cody. Thalia sent me lots of photos and updates which I appreciated. I would have her care for Cody again. Thank you Thalia.”

Our dog, Bailey, had a wonderful time with Mariia & Mikhail – it was very clear from all the photos! We were away for almost two weeks and were initially a little nervous to leave Bailey for so long. Their communication and adorable photos of Bailey having fun, getting a lot of attention, and taking walks put us at ease and made our hearts sing. Our Bailey is 14 years old, so she has some walking limitations, and she has to take medication. Mariia & Mikhail handled everything like pros, and we truly don’t think she could have been in better hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to leave their pet with friendly, responsible, and communicative sitters.
Asia was WONDERFUL!! This was our first time leaving our pup Chickoo for such an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to ease my mind. She was extremely communicative, provide multiple updates with pictures daily, and answered any questions we had. Asia took care of Chickoo like he was her own and we are so thankful we found her! 10000% recommend her to anyone looking to have peace of mind while traveling.
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!
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!
Wei is a very trustworthy host! She took photos every time she fed my dog and didn’t accept too many dogs at once, unlike some other hosts. My dog had a wonderful time with her and her family. I would highly recommend Wei to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet host.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Wilmington is $71 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $87 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.
There are 4,051 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
