About: As someone who’s herself had every breed from a Golden Retriever, to a Poodle, to a Great Dane- I’m no stranger to big and little dogs! I’m happy to care for and play with your dog or puppy at anytime. I love to incorporate fetch or tug-of-war time, as well as anything water-based! I’m currently available on Friday afternoons, Saturdays, and Sunday for any pet needs you might have! I’m flexible with my schedule, just let me know when any changes in availability come up and I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom apartment near the Riverwalk without any fur babies at the moment, so your animal has my full attention! Pets are also allowed on my furniture if so desired.
“Courtney has been my go to sitter and hasn’t disappointed once. Every time I see the pictures of my baby girl she looks like she has been the happiest she has ever been. Great job Courtney thanks for all the help!”
About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and have been caring for animals my entire life. I have two Goldendoodles and a German Shepherd of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know a dog breeder and have helped care for puppies before they go to their forever homes, so I’m familiar with their routines and special needs. I’ve even cared for up to 20 animals at once in my home, which has taught me how to manage feeding schedules, daily routines, and the individual needs of multiple animals. Now that I’m living away from home, I miss my own furry friends more than ever! I would love the opportunity to give your pets all the love, attention, and care I give my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or a little extra TLC, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands! I am available for drop-ins and walks whenever on the weekends and on weekdays I have classes. This means I am available Monday and Friday anytime after 9am, before 8am and after 1:45pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and from 9am-4pm on Wednesdays. When caring for your pets in your home or taking them on walks, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’ll adjust my care to make sure they get the attention they deserve. During walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise, fresh air, and sniffing time they need while keeping their safety my top priority. Whether your pup loves long walks, short strolls, or taking their time exploring, I’ll happily accommodate them! When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide plenty of cuddles, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I know how much pets mean to their families because I have several of my own, and I’ll care for yours with the same love and attention I would give my own!
About: What sets me apart is my real hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs in different home environments. I’ve pet sat for 3 different families and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I also have a cat and two dogs of my own, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I am currently a student at UNCW and am looking to pet sit during my free time. I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about animals, and I would love the opportunity to provide reliable and loving care for your pets while you’re away. In the client’s home, I will maintain the environment exactly as I found it. I will carefully follow all instructions provided and in unforeseen situations I can navigate them by using my experience caring for pets to handle any situation responsibly.
About: I grew up caring for animals of all kinds! I feel that on walks and spending quality time together are essential for the best care! I’m working part-time, so I have lots of time for long walks, potty breaks, and cuddling! I also prioritize maintaining a consistent routine for both the animal and myself! I have access to multiple pet friendly outdoor spaces, and during the summer my apartment complex remains quiet! I prioritize giving the animal time to adjust to the new environment and try to work at their pace!
About: I have always loved taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have worked as a kennel technician for over 2 years, and have fallen in love with providing special care towards animals. There, I create safe play groups, feed, walk, play, and of course, clean! I will make sure to pay close attention to any special needs your pet may have. Accommodating to your dogs energy level, temperament, age, and health is very important to me. I will ensure to pay very close attention to any issues or concerns I may see while spending time with your pup. I believe maintaining a clean and tidy environment is important to an animals health. I will provide updates with messages and pictures about our time together. I look forward to hanging out and connecting with you and your pet! I am currently a college student, working an odd schedule. I will try to accommodate accordingly to whatever fits best for you. I make your pets needs and care a #1 priority, next to school work of course. I have 2 dogs of my own, Luna (labradoodle), who I have trained since she was a puppy, and Lacy (French Bulldog), who I am currently training (she is 5 months old). Although I do not have professional training experience, I will say I put all my patience into providing simple tasks that can better your dogs skills. Whether if it’s during walks, crate time, or a simple sit and stay, I will provide my best efforts for your pup to succeed in these things. Along with training, I always make sure to spend quality time with my puppies because we are what’s most important to them. I believe playtime is very important to keeping a dog young and healthy! In any clients home, I make sure to spend as much quality time with the clients dog to build a strong connection.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life and find no greater passion than rescuing and caring for them. I have experience with younger dogs/cats and senior dogs/cats. More than willing to care for your plants while taking care of your fur children as well! I have found a lot of free time recently, and have reignited my passion for pet rescue and care. I am available all weekdays currently for the month of October and Saturday mornings/early afternoon! I primarily handle all care for four of my pets in my home. Three of my fur children are rescues who I found wandering the street and were either hurt or needed help. I have had them ever since and they are doing amazing! I treat friends and clients pets the same as my own to make sure all of their needs are met, and that the client can feel relaxed knowing they are being looked after properly.
“We and our cats loved Kimberly! She was very communicative and made sure our cats were well taken care of. She would engage and play with our more active cat, while making sure to check on and give treats to our shy cat. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: i’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I really enjoyed being around animals and my goal after UNCW is to go to vet school. I also did an internship at Complete pet care my senior year of high school working with all types dogs and cats. I am also enrolled in a service dog training class at UNCW and plan to add it as a minor. I do not currently have a job, but am planning on getting a part time one for the summer. I have plenty of free time to take care of pets, but would still like to enjoy my summer. I have no problem putting your dog in the crate if needed. Also if there is no fenced in backyard I do not mind taking the dog on multiple walks a day!
“Rachel could not have been more caring. Oliver enjoy his time with Rachel and loved his playtime. She was so thoughtful to send pics and videos of her stay with Oliver.”
About: Comfortable with all size and ages of dogs! Can do any chore needed by the dog like food, walks, grooming, medication, etc. with cats it’s very similar to my care with dogs chores. I’m currently working a full time student! I’m available most nights and weekends to come over and take care of pets or stay the night if needed! At clients houses I take care of any dog duty needed walks, baths, eating, and grooming. Any extra tasks need to be communicated! I'm super excited to be of help:)
About: My name is Aleah and I’m finishing my last semester of nursing school! I have previously fostered a dog and 2 cats (one of which became my foster fail!). While in school I have 2 cats of my own who are the loves of my life. Any pet under my care will feel as though they are one of my own. I cannot wait to get started!! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets! I am available every day, just not Tuesday-Thursday between 4pm and 8pm! I care for clients pets by walking the dogs and making sure they get enough cuddles and food/ treats. I also make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise because it can be hrs on them when their owners are away. Sometimes, I even spend the night at clients houses to ensure the Pets don’t have to be alone, but I wouldn’t do this if you weren’t comfortable with it.
“April did an amazing job with our two cats! They immediately opened up to her and let their personalities shine. She did a great job caring for the boys which included the last minute addition of eye medication which she handled with ease. We will not hesitate to reach out to her for our further pet sitting needs!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
Jennifer was incredible! I feel beyond lucky to have found her. She was so patient, considerate, and gentle while caring for my very anxious cat. She provided frequent and thorough updates, and she was extra diligent and patient with his medication routine. I knew my cat was well taken care of, and I deeply appreciated the chance to travel and feel at ease knowing his needs were met.
10/10 Sadie did a wonderful job getting my elderly dog on slow bathroom walks and spending time with my cat and dog afterwards to give them company on my extremely long days at work. Came home to happy and not so lonely pets which makes me feel much better since I can’t spend as much time with them as I would like. She had great communication and was always on time. I will continue to hire her.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
