About: I have a passion so deep for all animals and I have been riding horses ever since I was young so my experience is a little more advanced since I have been around many different animals. I work at a restaurant a couple days a week but short shifts so I have time on my hands. I also exercise and walk a lot so walking dogs would fit perfectly. I care for animals with patience and kinds. I don’t believe any animal deserves a tough life and bad care and I want to love on every single one.
“Christa has been amazing and so accommodating to our crazy, changing schedule. She has been so amazing with our boy Mango, and he has loved her so much! We will 100% continue using her in the future!”

About: I have had a furry friend in my life in some form or another since I was very young. I have experience with both more reactive and friendly breeds and have no preference on the kinds I work with. I use patience and understanding to make them feel safe. I worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter for two years to multiple dogs and can bring love and affection to any animals in my care. I am responsible, punctual and a great communicator and can be an asset in caring for your dog or other animals while you are away or on a regular basis for walks. I work 4 nights a week from 3pm-11pm downtown. I am not opposed to early morning visits or late nights visits if required and am available for overnights. I do a walkthrough with owners of exact locations for all your pets, learn their quirks, the things they love and don’t like and what might come up during my stay with them. I answer all phone calls and texts from owners while they are away to ensure they feel safe and comfortable knowing their animals are properly cared for.
About: 🐾 Experienced, Loving Care for Dogs of Every Kind 🧡 For the past 10 years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and special care. 🐶 I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and am also experienced with beginning training and reinforcing good habits. Most importantly, I take a welcoming, trustworthy, and patient approach so every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup needs exercise, playtime, companionship, basic training, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat them like family while you’re away. 🧡🐕 🏡 Flexible, Dedicated Care for Your Fur Babies 🐾🧡 I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me the freedom to travel and work from anywhere. That flexibility means I can give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve not just a quick visit, but genuine care throughout the day. 🐶🐱 I’m also available for house sitting and extended pet-sitting stays, making me a great fit for longer trips, vacations, or times when your pets simply do best with someone around. My goal is to make your time away easier and give you peace of mind knowing your fur babies and your home are in caring, trustworthy hands. 🧡🐾 🐾 Active Adventures or Cozy Companionship—Whatever Your Pet Needs 🧡 I’m an active pet sitter who loves getting outside for walks, exploring, and little adventures that keep your pets happy, excited, and engaged. Whether your pup loves a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply discovering new smells along the way, I’m always happy to keep them moving and having fun! 🐶🌿 At the same time, I understand that not every pet is looking for an adventure. Some animals thrive in a calm, quiet environment where they can relax and feel secure. I’m happy to slow things down and give them all the patience, comfort, and one-on-one attention they need. 🐱🏡 Every pet is different, and I love meeting them where they are—whether that means adventure, playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm and caring presence. 🧡

If you’re looking for someone that takes the weight off your shoulders and provides exceptional care, I’m your gal! I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is fairly open. I work pet sittings/walk/drop in to my schedule no problem.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have hands-on experience caring for animals through volunteering at animal shelters, fostering rescue dogs, and dog sitting for family members and friends. These experiences have taught me how to work with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. I am comfortable supporting everything from energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs, and I always prioritize safety along with positive interactions. Caring for animals is already a regular part of my weekly routine through volunteering and fostering. I currently work 8-5, but I am a early riser and love to be active in the afternoons. This allows me to provide reliable care and give each animal the time and attention they deserve. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe and comfortable. I am an active individual, which means tons of walks and lots of play time. I take the time to learn each pet’a routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide personalized care.

About: I have grown up with many different breeds of dogs and cats and has been the main person to take care of them in my household. I have been in charge of animals since elementary school, and I am going to school to be a veterinary technician. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of you babies and walk them until they are happy. I don’t currently own any animals so their is no need to worry about your pet not getting along or having to interact with any other animals.
“Lauren was amazing! We've lucked out and have been able to have family or friends come over to let our pups out when we have to be away for long periods of time, until now. We reached out to Lauren via Rover to come over and check on our pups. One was extremely worried about her presence and the other warmed up after a while. She is communicative and pleasent to talk with via the app. Her Rover Report Cards were detailed (with adorable pics) and helped put our minds at ease with a stranger caring for our pups. Thanks Lauren ?”

“Cate did a great job caring for my kitty! She always sent pictures, made sure to spend some play time with him, and also kept my plants taken care of. She was very friendly and it looks like Pippin enjoyed his time with her! I would recommend Cate to anyone who needs in-home pet care.”


“Beth was a wonderful sitter while we were out of town. She made sure she came over right on time took such great care of our animals. She played with them, took long walks and made them feel loved. She was so great at communicating with us and sending us many pictures which we loved. Will absolutely be booking her again. She was fantastic!!”

About: I have had my fur baby now for 8 months. He’s still a puppy and lots of fun! I have fostered a few pups this year and enjoy spending time with dogs. I work from home during the week and I have time to give your furbaby non stop attention. My building has its own gated dog park and a park for lots of exercise during the day. I enjoy grooming at home, playing with toys and training with delicious treats. I would treat your fur baby just like my own lil guy (Tino)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
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.

Makayla is the best! I left last moment for an out of town concert, and she was there to help by doing some drop-ins for my dog. She spent some time with him, bonded with him, and took him on a long walks. The next time I need a sitter, I’ll be reaching out for her again!

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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wilmington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Wilmington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
