“Brittany was great with Panchita she went about and beyond. Panchita definitely was truly happy in her care. Thank you Brittany for watching over Panchita while I was in Florida.”

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! My fiance and I have a sweet cat named Poe who welcomes any visitors. I have experience caring for seniors 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.
“Debbie was a lifesaver! We somewhat last minute needed a sitter for our pup and she was quick to respond to my messages. She even managed to squeeze in a visit to meet us before we left town!”

About: I have taken care of multiple different kinds of dogs and are very patient with them to warm up to me! My family has been fostering dogs for as long as I can remember so I have a lot of experience in taking care of them! I can take care of any pet any day of the week! I have class every morning from 8-9:15 am and have a full schedule after that! I have a cat at home and currently live in an apartment. Even though the cat isn’t mine but I also tend to its needs when her owner isn’t home. I will also pay very close attention to any details added to the pets care to keep them as safe as possible.
“Hannah was so so wonderful! She took such good care of my babies which allowed me to have a stress free vacation! If you are looking for someone to watch your babies, Hannah is the best!”

About: I have always had pets growing up, and living on a farm has expanded the variety of animals I love. Anything from horses and chickens to dogs and guinea pigs! I am currently a student at UNCW, and I am free almost every afternoon of the week. I am currently away from home and unable to have pets, so any pet will get tons of attention. I have had a variety of pets with different demeanors. I have had a deaf dog, territorial dogs, anxious dogs, and more. I understand crate training and e-collar use, and am okay dealing with big pullers or jumpers.
“Angie was fabulous! I’m super protective of my girls so I wanted All of us to meet in person before scheduling. We met up and it was smooth sailing after that. I felt comfortable leaving my girls in her care for drop-ins.”

“Katie has been taking care of my puppy during lunch time weekly while I’m at work for a couple months now and she has been an absolute lifesaver! She’s super dependable, responsible, and always sends me pictures/videos daily. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will treat your fur babies as if they were her own, I would definitely recommend Katie!”
“Thank you so much, Christina, for taking such good care of Leia during these past few days. We really appreciated all the updates and photos you sent us they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Leia is doing great, and we are very grateful for your help. We will definitely reach out to you again in the future if we need pet sitting services.”

“Ollie absolutely loved Olivia! She gave him all the cuddles and was super sweet! She communicated quickly and answered any questions I had while I was out of town! I would definitely recommend booking with her!”

“Carol took great care of my elderly special needs dog while I was at work. She promptly sent me updates and a picture during her drop- in's with Stella. It was nice to come home to a happy dog :) ”
“Daniel was so prompt and efficient! He was very flexible to work with my changing schedule to assist with drop-in check-in’s for my dog! I would highly recommend Daniel and look forward to continuing to work with him in the future! :)”

“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 am passionate about animals and will treat yours as if it were one of my own! Spending time with animals has been something I have always loved. I’ve had experience volunteering in animal shelters and love giving back to animals in need. It is important to me that all animals will be taken care of accordingly to how the owner want. Before Rover, I have previous experience with house sitting and dog walking. Having animals remain active is very important to me and I am here to do the job! Whatever needs your animal may have, I am willing to do to keep them at good health. I am high disciplined and you can count on me to keep your furry friend company while you’re away! During the summer I have open availability due to having them off because I work in a school. This allows me to be on any schedule that best fits your pet’s needs. I most importantly want to make your pet feel comfortable and safe while there is an unfamiliar face while their owners aren’t present. Quality time is also an important aspect of animal care that I value other than feeding or walking your pet.
“Stephanie went above and beyond when watching my cat over the holiday! She left detailed notes and lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a worry free vacation!”

About: For 12 years I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds. I love animals so much and I always love helping out someone with their animals so they don’t have to board them or if you work a long day and need me to give them a walk. I can be very flexible with when you need me and I promise I will treat your animals as I would my own! I am currently working part time right now, so I can definitely be flexible with hours that fit your schedule. If you need me a day or night, I can be there to help with your animals! I have a completely fenced in backyard that is almost half an acre. My two dogs Lulu and Fez are sweethearts, and they have always gotten along with any dog or cat that I’ve brought over to the house.
Wilmington dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!
