“Xiuping and her family took care of my dog over the weekend for me- it was such a pleasure! My dog had a great time and the communication was so smooth and pleasant. I will book again!”
“Luke was amazing taking care of Murphy. He updated us, and I could tell her really enjoyed spending time with Murphy. Luke also is very easy to talk to, kind and friendly person. My dog Murphy was so happy to be with him. Can’t wait for them to spend more time together! 1000% would recommend Luke with your furry friend!”
“Debbie and Ralph were lovely, and we were happy with this first time stay for our dog Finn at their home over the weekend. They were very attentive to Finn’s needs and routinr, gave him lots of attention, and took him to the city for some adventure. Would certainly book with them again. Thanks!”
“We have left our Chihuahua-mix Mochi with Kimm and Kenn several times, and she always has a great time. They are very experienced, and take the dogs out for good exercise every day. It’s like summer camp for our dog!”
“Michiko and Clifford are great. This is the second time my dog stayed with them and they took great care of him both times. I look forward to more stays in the future. Thank you!”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Betsy and her family taking care of our furry guy. He had such a wonderful time and we received frequent updates with photos. Her kids told us stories about him when we picked him up- they made him feel like part of the family. We hope to have him stay with them again!”
“Highly recommend Gregg for all your pet needs. He’s reliable, punctual and genuinely cared for my dog Coty. Gregg was understanding while my dog adjusted to his new surroundings and sent daily video updates. I would definitely board Coty with Gregg again!”
“Paul did a fantastic job looking after our old gal, Nami. She has significant mobility issues, but Paul made sure she was comfortable, happy, and engaged through her stay. Paul was excellent at communication, providing photo and text updates while we were away.”
“My nine month old puppy is a very social, high play drive dog, so it was a huge plus for me that Mike's retriever Blue was friendly, up for play, and nice to a pesky little puppy. Mike's communication was great, he definitely understood my 'leaving the puppy for the first time' jitters, and sent multiple photo updates.”
“This is my second time using Paul and Megan for boarding for my dog. They were very attentive to my dog's needs and she seemed to have a great time there. I would definitely book again without hesitation.”
“Salish was a fantastic sitter for our pup. When we ran into a travel delay, she kindly accommodated our request to extend his stay for another night. We felt so comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Thank you, Salish!”
About: Hey guys, My name is Katy, I have 2 pharaoh hounds. One is 2 years old very energetic and the other is 9 and like to lounge. Having pharaoh hounds has given me all the experience with dogs that need extra exercise, attention and careful supervision. I am comfortable with all size dogs. Please note I only sit male dogs who have been neutered. Unspayed female dogs are fine as long as they are not in heat during my care. I work a hybrid schedule. Home MWF and at office on tues/thursday. On office days I come home at lunch to give the pups a potty break. I am home 24/7 on weekends. I treat every pet like they are my own. I give them love, attention, exercise and make sure to stick to their routines while the owners are away.
“Joseph and his family were great sitters. They took care of our boy like he was their own. Their home and outdoor space is safe and spacious for dogs to get plenty of exercise. They were also very accommodating when we had a change in travel plans. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again as a sitter.”
“Manny had THE BEST time with Marcia and family for his first overnight away from home. Marcia took such great care of Manny. I appreciated the daily summary and picture and video updates throughout. Marcia will be my first choice for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Zoey was so happy at Peter’s house and I was able to enjoy my time in Florida knowing she was well taken care of. Peter sends regular updates for you to see. They are the best dog sitters ever. So glad I found them.”
“Guillermo is fantastic. He was attentive to our old pup and wonderfully responsive to us. He is kind and calm, and it was clear our dog felt so comfortable and content. Our dog had an upset stomach and Guillermo was gracious and amazing at taking the extra steps to give him canned food and medicine. He sent great updates and pictures, I wish I had found him sooner and look forward to having him care for our dog again.”
“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
Jessica was super nice during drop off, communicative during our older pups stay with plenty of photos, and super accommodating when our drop off timeline had to change! I would definitely recommend Jessica to other nervous pet parents and will be hiring her again!!
Deborah and Ralph watched our very adorable but high maintenance senior dog Lucy! She was the happiest girl with them! We appreciate the patience and kindness they showed Lucy and the updates while she was staying with you guys! Ralph and Deborah were so nice and friendly and provided us with constant updates and photos! We knew she was in great hands! Lucy can’t wait for her next sleep over with Ralph and Deborah! :)
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.
Our feisty but loving Springer Spaniel had a great stay with Nicole. We were nervous to leave Moxie with a new caregiver for a long overseas trip, but Nicole was reassuring and sent frequent pics and updates. She even took our pup to the beach! We definitely recommend Nicole.
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!
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!
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 $66.6 per night (as of September 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 4,009 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.
