“Tom was great! He came by our house per our request to meet us and our dog a few days prior to the appointment. He was very communicative and left us lots of pictures during his visit. Will definitely book again!”
“Caroline was so great, Harvey absolutely loves her! From the second she introduced herself to him, he took to her. He is normally anxious and a little kiddish but Caroline did such an amazing job making him feel comfortable. Absolutely will be hoping to use her again!”
“Steven was great with our senior cat. He’s incredibly communicative, kind, and very obviously an animal lover. We knew our cat was in good hands while we were gone. I highly recommend him.”
“Kate the great! She’s awesome, communicative, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pets are cared for. I appreciate how she keeps up in the loop, since we worry about our pets when we go away. We have booked with her in the past, and she’ll be our first choice next time too. Thank you SO MUCH Kate!”
“Danielle took very nice care of my cat while I was away on a break. She fed my cat, cleaned litter box, spent some time with the cat and updated me with pictures. I would use her services again and again!!”
“Ellie was amazing and took such great care of our 2 cats while we were away. She is caring and attentive, and our cats were comfortable with her immediately! She gave us updates each day along with some great pictures. This was our first time ever using a sitter, and we will 100% contact Ellie again in the future!”
“Alina was really communicative and sent us a lot of pictures and videos of our pup while we were away. She really connected with our dog and we would definitely use her services in the future!”
“Frances & Julia were great. They were responsive to our last minute booking request and communicative throughout the visits we scheduled over a weekend while we were away. The photos and videos they shared with us of our puppy showed how great they cared for him, and our dog was in great spirits when we returned. I would definitely recommend to fellow pet parents and re-book if we need care again.”
“Kerri is extremely flexible and wonderful with our pup. She is patient and kind. Our pup is the happiest to see her! She is definitely our go-to person to entrust our pup’s care !”
About: For the past few years now I’ve been a dog sitter for my family and friends, walking, playing, feeding, and cleaning up after them I can house sit, dog walk, and do drop in visits, Any time of the day Mondays to Fridays, And weekends if needed anything works. I get to learn pets usually routine. How many times a day to walk them, when and how to feed them, and their bed time.
“Rosemary is THE BEST. She gives great updates (and the cutest pictures!) while watching our cats and I feel at ease leaving town knowing she is taking amazing care of them. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Holly did a terrific job! She dealt with an unexpected situation (my fault, gave her the wrong key) with ease. She inspires confidence, took the time to take care of everything we requested.”
About: I've been a dog sitter for over a decade, on top of having my own pets as well. I've watched dogs as small as shih tzus and yorkies, to dogs as big pit bulls and labs. I am pretty active and love to go on walks, and would love to bring your dog with me! I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibility throughout the day to help take care of your pets! I am available for daytime walks or check-ins almost everyday, and available to house sit any time as long as you reach out in advance! I have house-sat for friends and family for over 10+ years, and feel very comfortable saying that I have always been a clean, respectful house guest. I am a non-smoker; and I would prioritize your comfort and privacy while staying in your home, ensuring your pet is well cared for when I am there.
“Chloe is an excellent dog sitter! She comes on time, makes sure my dog is taken out, and fed. She also walks and plays with her. She is very responsive and will ask if anything is needed. I also like her pricing as it is affordable. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Cat was fantastic with our shy Greyson! I am amazed that she was able to get him comfortable enough to come out from hiding! Also her communication while we were away was great!”
“Booked super last minute due to unexpected emergency, and she was AMAZING! Went above and beyond to take care of my little babies, cannot recommend enough. So communicative and took such great care of them (even though they’re so shy)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
The best pet sitter I had for my cats. I had hired a few other pet sitters in the past but Jessica surpassed all of them and exceeded my expectations. The pictures and videos that she shared with me daily showed my cats were happy with her. What more does a pet parent need? Thanks Jessica! You were truly awesome 👏
Kind, intuitive, and easy to work with. Wen Shin, with no advanced noticed, was able to meet me for a key hand off and immediately cover a weekend of drop-ins with my little guy. They took great care of him and followed all instructions. Looking forward to booking again!
Michelle is great with my dog Sasha. We have used her many times. She gets to know your dog’s personality and doesn’t hesitate to keep you in the loop and ask questions if something seems off. She sends great pictures and visit summaries. Michelle continues to be a go-to sitter for us.
Erin checked in on our cats while we were out of town for a couple of days and she was amazing!! Went the extra mile to make sure our kitties were taken care of and sent lots of pics and updates. So grateful to have found her, we recently moved and finding a reliable, trustworthy sitter can be difficult. We will definitely be using Erin in the future.
Michelle agreed to watch my new puppy with very short notice when I had to take my other dog to a vet. Her communication was very prompt and on point. I just got the puppy a week ago and I think I was that neurotic new mother who had too many requests. Mechelle was very understanding and open to my requests. She seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with Bo (our new puppy) and send me the cutest pics. When I got home, Bo was asleep in his pen tired from all the playing. I decided to ask Michelle to come back regularly until Bo is a bit older so I can go to work rest assured that he is in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wilmington on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,492 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wilmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wilmington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilmington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
