“Tiffany was able to help me out when I was in a sticky situation and needed a pet sitter last minute. She was quick to respond and sent me pics on my animals which was so reassuring.”
2. Allie V.
“Allie is THE BEST sitter! Sweet, informative, very communicative-and my pups love her!!! As always, many thanks to Allie for happy puppertons. 😊🐕🐶”
3. Jenna L.
“Wish I could rate higher but there aren’t more stars. My two normally shy cats immediately liked her and wanted to be friends. She was on time every day and followed all the instructions. She also tailored the individual attention to each cat’s personality (playful versus cuddly). Whenever the cats made a mess, she cleaned it and them. Would hire again.”
4. Molly T.
“Molly did a great job checking in on our 2 dogs while we were out of town! Always on time and cleaned up after our girl got sick. Highly recommend! Thanks Molly!”
5. Jennifer "Jenna" C.
“Jenna is WONDERFUL!!!! She took great care of our little cat while we were away. She willingly came out for a 'meet and greet' at no charge.....something a lot of petsitters are not willing to do for a kitty. Jenna sent me pix and verbal updates with each visit. She is kind, obviously loves animals, is professional, trustworthy and dependable. VERY happy we found you, Jenna!!!”

11. Amber P.

14. Jordan S.
“If I could give 10 stars for Jordan, I WOULD. This was my first time using rover and she went over and beyond for me and my two cats. She was just around the corner from me so she even checked on them an extra few times for me in the evening. I can tell she’s naturally in tune with animals and people as well. She is an Angel, truly!!!”
15. Alicia L.
“Alicia was very attentive to the needs of our cats while we were away. Again, she went above and beyond to make sure they were as comfortable as possible and they can often be hard to please :)! We’re so happy we have found such a wonderful sitter while we’re gone for all of our animals!”
16. London P.
“London was one of the best sitters anyone could ask for. She truly cares about the animals and is willing to go above and beyond to ensure the highest quality of care. 100% recommended her services!!!”
17. Mariah B.
“I have had a first hand experience of Mariah’s excellent care of my pets! She was caring and took the time out of her day to make sure that they were entertained and got what they needed. Would 100% recommend!”
18. Caitie C.
About: I've taken care of dogs since college, when I became an in-house dog sitter for professors over breaks and holidays. I was referred to other local dog owners through professors and colleagues and stayed busy with dogsitting for years. I do have experience with older dogs with medications and recent surgeries as well as untrained dogs. I am new(ish) to the Wilmington area and am excited to keep meeting cute doggos through Rover! Cats are cool too :) I work full time M-F from about 8am-4pm. I can potentially use my lunch break to go let the dog(s) have a midday pee break as long as it’s not too far away. We live in a house with an unfenced backyard, right next to a great park and beautiful, quiet walkable neighborhood in general. I loooove going on long walks if the dog is up for that. Depending on what you’re comfortable with, I’m also open to going to parks & exploring new areas to sniff 😂

“I have known Stephen for nearly two decades and he has always been an excellent pet owner and steward of the natural world. Anyone would be lucky to have him looking after their animals.”
