“Bonnie and her husband took great care of Keeley. Keeley love them so much she didn’t want to leave their house. They have a huge maintained yard for dog to play around in safely. Bonnie is responsive to messages in a timely manner.”
“David and family did a great job! Luna and Matilda had so much fun playing with Daisy and we got lots of good photos throughout. Will definitely go back in the future as we could tell they were well cared for during our time away”
“Amanda was an amazing sitter for our dog Kona and we highly recommend booking with her. She provided us with updates & photos, and even sent Kona home with a new tennis ball as a treat! We could tell our dog was well cared for during our time away. Thank you!”
“Xiuping is an amazing and responsive dog sitter! She sent me lots of pictures and messages throughout the stay, showing how well my dog was being taken care of. This definitely set my mind at ease, knowing and seeing that my dog was having a great time with her family. Dog care instructions were followed very well and she was able to accommodate my last minute requests. I will absolutely be recommending Xiuping to my friends and will have her and her family watch my dog again!”
“Betsy and her family were wonderful hosts for our pup. Betsy sent pics and videos, and Ronja seemed to have a fantastic time. Great communication, we felt safe leaving our dog in Betsy's care.”
“Francois took care of our senior dog recently we would highly recommend him . He communicated with us every day with text & pictures. Our dog being on the elderly side is very set in his ways & Francois took all his special needs into account. We returned home to a happy and relaxed dog.”
“Hannah was absolutely amazing with our strong-willed, yet anxious pup. She was incredibly communicative and did a great job keeping us posted regarding any developments (she also made sure to send us cute photos and videos at regular intervals). We will definitely look to book with her again when the need arises!”
“Paul is just the best. He is always the first person whose availability we check when we are traveling. All three of our dogs have loved going to Paul's for a staycation while we are out of town. We get frequent updates throughout their stay and the pups come back to us happy and healthy. You can tell how much Paul cares about animals and how intentional he is in making sure their every need is met. I cannot recommend highly enough! Would give 6 stars if it were possible.”
“This was Luna’s first stay with Lori and I knew she was in great hands. Lori has a great set up with a fenced in yard and lives in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Lori was amazing at communicating, sending lots of pics and updates and making sure I knew Luna was safe and having lots of FUN! Lori took her on lots of adventures and took videos to show me real-time action. Lori also went above and beyond when Luna lost her Fi GPS device and Lori tracked it down by retracing steps and finding it in the woods. I highly recommend Lori and will absolutely be partnering with her again to watch Luna for me!”
“Arnav is great with communication from the beginning and throughout. He provided pictures and updates throughout the stay. His family has a nice fenced-in back yard. He and his family seem to love dogs and have enjoyed our pup. We have a pretty large play pen that our pup is comfortable sleeping in, and Arnav and his family were very flexible with the setup (we set the pen up in their dining room). Highly recommend him!”
“This was our second stay with Paul & Megan and I feel ever more grateful for them and the love they provide for our girl Nala. They take such great care of our girl, so extremely thoughtful. We got lots of pictures and videos of her days, which are full of enrichment activities and being around others and family. I felt fully informed of everything that was going on in such a positive and reassuring manner. We can really tell Nala loves spending her time here.”
“It's always hard to leave your dog behind while on vacation but I instantly felt as ease as soon as I dropped my baby boi off. He had an amazing time and the daily photos and updates were much appreciated. And because he was so well taken care of, I could fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend.”
“Kate was just amazing! She took excellent care of my dog Max. She sent daily updates so I wouldn’t worry while traveling. She’s the best! Max loves her and so do I — definitely rebooking her!”
“Guillermo was awesome. He was flexible with our drop off and pick up times, sent us plenty of updates and our pup came home exhausted from his stay (the best possible outcome!). I would totally book with him again.”
“Mia watched my two older cattle dogs while I was on a work trip for 5 days. I find Mia to be very smart and responsible and her love of dogs is obvious right from the start. She did a wonderful job taking care of them and I would confidently hire her again and recommend her to others!”
“My dog was extremely well cared for while I was away. They fed her per my instructions and she also got plenty of exercise with their dog in their back yard. I highly recommend for pet sitting and will use them again when needed.”

Maria was amazing. She was so thoughtful and kind to me and Theo. She sent daily photos and took extra care of Theo when he felt anxious about the fireworks. She hand fed him until he felt comfortable. Although I do think he loved all the attention she gave to him. She really spoiled him and I think he is missing her and Gracie. Definitely will be using Maria as often as possible.
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!
I had Ariel watch my senior pug for several days while I was on vacation, and he did an outstanding job! My pup requires daily medication, and Ariel made sure it was given on time while keeping me updated with clear and consistent communication. He went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable being away, which is so important when leaving an older dog in someone else’s care. It was such a relief to know my pug was in good hands! Would absolutely recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. :)
Ashley was so kind and really enjoyed watching Tella for us. She stayed in contact while we were away letting us know how Tella was doing and sent pictures. Tella seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked her up; she didn't even want to get in our car to come home! Haha thank you Ashley! Would definitely use her again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Wilmington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Wilmington on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 4,100 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.
