“I've rebooked Amanda a few times now and she's always very caring and flexible. When my power went out she adjusted her check-in to much earlier the next day to make sure the auto feeders were still ok. Very responsive and respectful; will continue to rebook!”

About: I have had and cared for a variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, reptiles, etc. I have a passion for animals and ensuring they live a great life to the best of my ability! My wife and I have a sweet cat named Poe who welcomes any visitors. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between and have been trusted among friends, family members, and neighbors to care for their dogs deeply and ensure all needs are met. I currently work Monday-Thursday and I am available after hours through the week or any time Friday-Sunday. I can be flexible as far as coming to you or hosting your pet! I live in a safe, private apartment close to several parks and great outdoor areas. I will cater the needs and schedules specific to each dog or cat and ensure all their needs are met. I am happy to host your animal, come for a check in/walk, or anything in between to ensure your time away is stress-free when it comes to care for your pet.
“I can’t thank Baily enough for how great she was caring for my cat!! She was very kind, communicative and consistent. I highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of a sitter— she’s the best!!”


About: Hey, y'all! I had 3 dogs for about 8 years, walked and fed them daily, I have experience with almost all dog breeds from great danes to chihuahuas! I've also had bunnies, guinea pigs, flying squirrels, hamsters, and mice! I absolutely adore cats and have experience with animals of all ages ☺️ Sitting or playing with my cats has become part of my daily routine. I loved walking my dogs when I had them because I don't go outside enough. As long as I know where food, leashes, and pet supplies are, I can guarantee your pet's safety and comfort :) I look forward to meeting you!
“My dog Piper and I are beyond blessed to have found Katie. I am so happy with her services. She is very professional and ensured to take it slow in the beginning with my picky shepherd. Definitely keeping her as a regular if able :)”

“Both during the initial visit and while she was taking care of them, Ashleigh was great with my dogs! My three husky mixes loved her! She took the time to go outside and engage with each one of them and cater to their individual personalities. She was extremely patient with their high energy needs and even took the time to send me several photos of them playing in the yard. Her exerperince of currently being in Vet school, and of previously working in a kennel and as a Vet Assistant really put me at ease in that if there were some type of an emergency, Ashleigh would be able to promptly and properly be able to handle it. I will defintely request Ashleigh's services again in the future!”


About: I have had a lot of experience taking care of dogs since I started my own "business" when I was 7, walking and pet-sitting for people around my neighborhood. I had 3 dogs and 3 cats growing up. Recently I'm most often just filling in for family friends on stays away. I have taken care of a handful of senior dogs and have a good understanding of their behaviors. I like to be outside and moving, so I happily will take your dog(s) out or on frequent or long walks. I will be available 7 days of the week, minus miscellaneous appointments and such. I am more than comfortable with overnight stays, walks, and drop ins, and multiple day sitting. My roommate is allergic to dander so I will be unable to bring pets into my home. I take notes very seriously for pets that need that extra care/the specifics. I will happily be able to walk, feed, play, let out and crate dogs as needed.
“Lindsay took great care of our girls while we went out of town for the weekend. She provided great care to them and we were very happy with her services. Will definitely use her services again”
About: I have experience with loving and taking care off my family pets. Our current household is at 1 dog and 5 cats so I am no stranger to multitasking. I am able to handle dog walking, cleaning a litter box, and maintaining a consistent meal time schedule. All while making sure to get a healthy amount of play time in. I have a consistent schedule that i can pkan around that will allow me to be consistently available to rehular and new pets. And I will take full responsibility for any scheduling conflicts on my part that may affect care. I will have clear communication with the owner about what they want to keep consistent with there pets and how they want they want there house rules maintained.
“Kelly is the absolute best! She eases all my worries while I’m away from my puppy. She’s very understanding of puppy behavior, and helps to enforce the things I’m teaching him. She goes above and beyond helping clean up accidents he’s left. She’s great at communicating with me. And my puppy is clearly very happy and tired out when she leaves!”

About: I've grown up with animals around me my whole life, and as a young professional in Wilmington who travels for work- I really miss spending time with pets! I grew up with birds, horses, hamsters, cats and dogs, and I'd love to spend time with your pet while you're away. They deserve to feel like you didn't even leave! My job is travel-based, but when I'm in town I have a ton of availability. Week days are flexible and weekends are fully open with no set schedule! Happy to stay at your home if that is a preference or stay at my own and drive to you- whatever works best! I'll take care of them as if they were my own. I'll take your instructions very seriously and defer to you as the expert on your pet! Happy to do anything that's needed to make them feel more comfortable.
“Ava is absolutely amazing! I had flight changes and a small home renovation going on during her stay and she was nothing but understanding, accommodating and reassuring! I will 100% rebook with Ava! Thank you so much for everything!”

“For our first time using Rover I’m so grateful and impressed by how easy Kennedy made everything! A true professional and confident especially given we had 5 dogs! I’d recommend Kennedy to anyone and will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thanks, Kennedy!”

About: I will treat your fur kids as my own. Family friends and neighbors have always asked me if I could help them out and I loved doing it. I work full-time with a schedule that is typically either 7:00 AM–2:00 PM or 1:00 PM–9:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to spend quality time with pets before and after work, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I carefully consider my schedule before accepting bookings to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs and maintain their regular routine. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds and genuinely love creating a calm, safe environment for pets while their owners are away. I have hands-on experience caring for a senior dog, including giving daily medications, slower walks, extra comfort and patience, and attentive day-to-day care. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and have experience with pet sitting and home care routines. Beyond our two dogs, my husband and I care for backyard chickens, ducks, and honeybees, so responsibility, routine, and animal care are a daily part of life for us. I’m local to downtown Wilmington, Sunset Park, and midtown, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and thoughtful. Whether your pet needs energetic walks, quiet companionship, medication support, or simply a steady presence while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine, and I currently offer morning and evening drop-ins and walks during the workweek, as well as broader availability on weekends. I’m typically available before 8am and after 6pm on weekdays, with flexible availability Saturdays and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, and home care visits. I especially enjoy creating consistent routines and dependable care for pets while their owners are at work or away for the weekend. I offer drop-in visits and walks in clients’ homes and believe many pets are happiest staying in their familiar environment and routine while their owners are away or working long days. During visits, I focus on calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs — whether that means walks and playtime, feeding routines, giving medications, litter box or yard care, or simply providing companionship and consistency. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or caring for backyard chickens and ducks when needed.
