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.
About: I have owned a variety of animals in my life, from cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and leopard geckos! I have taken care of both cats and dogs from puppy/kitten to elderly/senior ages, and am sure to adhere to any preferences needed. I am available full time in June and July of summer 2026, so I will have plenty of flexibility during this time to take on any walking and/or petsitting jobs as needed! I adapt to preferred routines while caring for your pets as to not throw you or your pet off of routine. I am respectful of the home as well, being sure to leave things as I have found them!

About: Growing up and throughout my life I've had many furry friends of my own including a Tortoiseshell Cat, a Bernese Mountain dog, a Maine coon, a black lab, a bunny, a few chickens, and currently a Bombay Cat named Lady who I love so dearly. I have also worked at multiple doggy day cares and boarding facilities. Balancing the responsibilities of caretaking for multiple pups at once. Administering play time, bath time, making sure medication is accounted for and taken, as well as feeding them breakfast and dinner. I was also responsible for breaking up any altercations between the pups, certain forms of training, and learning the individual personalities of each and how to regulate their moods. I am a Craft Cocktail Bartender so I tend to work later evening shifts. The daytime is perfect but nights can still work as well if I'm off or working a shorter shift. It truly depends on your needs. I will remain flexible and communicative about my availability. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for animals with different personalities and I truly take the time to learn each pet's routine and needs. I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you can feel confident while you're away. Because I have a cat at home, I mainly offer care in clients homes, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. This helps to keep their normal routine and reduce stress. For dogs I'd very happily provide walks, outdoor adventures to the park or the beach. Plenty of playtime and attention for their energy levels.
âKelly is the absolute best! She eases all my worries while Iâm away from my puppy. Sheâs very understanding of puppy behavior, and helps to enforce the things Iâm teaching him. She goes above and beyond helping clean up accidents heâs left. Sheâs great at communicating with me. And my puppy is clearly very happy and tired out when she leaves!â

âLOVED working with Baylor!! She is very very sweet, super dependable and a great communicator! It was my pupâs birthday and Baylor made sure he got some extra care!!! I felt completely confident and Iâm so grateful she was âon the jobâ as I traveled!â

âBridgette has been very reliable and has been flexible when I needed to change a booking last minute. My dog Roscoe can be very fearful at times and he liked her immediately!â

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.
âWeâre so happy to have found Skylar to look after our 2 dogs while weâre away and knowing that they are in safe hands. Skylar has been super patient with me while my plans have changed and has been very responsive and answered all of my questions very quick. We canât wait to book Skylar again!â

âAva 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!â

About: I have over 15 years of experience taking car of people's most prized possessions in life (nannying, house sitting, and pet care) in the Wilmington area. I have cared for dogs of all ages. Currently, I have a daughter who is 3 and obsessed with animals so we are looking to care for animals who play nice with young kids and love to be loved! I work from home so I am around for potty breaks and outside time during my breaks. My office over looks my fenced in back yard for those dogs who love to sun bathe I have a large fenced in backyard that is great for ball throwing, water play, or just zooming around the playground equipment. Crate training is not required but can be accommodated.
âCate 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.â

About: Hi there! I'm a former veterinary technician who spent years working hands-on with animals. While I loved the work, the field could be a bit emotionally heavy at timesâso I decided to step back and find a happier, more balanced way to stay close to the animals I adore. Thatâs what brought me to dog walking and drop-in visits! I truly enjoy long walks and runs with my own dogs, so if you have an active pup who needs a good workout, Iâve got you covered. I share my home with two big dogs and two cats, so Iâm very comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. All of my animals have special diets and unique needs, so Iâm extra careful and experienced when it comes to following feeding instructions, administering medications, or keeping routines just right. Your pets will be treated like familyâbecause thatâs exactly how I see them. I'm an aspiring actress and also work as a bartender, which gives me a flexible schedule. I typically work Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7 PM to close, and Fridays and Saturdays from 12 PM to 7 PM. While I have other commitments throughout the week, Iâm great at managing my time and can usually adjust my schedule to make room when needed. I take the care of animals very seriouslyâboth in my home and in my clientsâ homes. My own pets have taught me how important it is to be attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I have two big dogs and two cats, all of whom have special needs. One of my dogs only has three legs and has been through extensive rehabilitation and medical care, so Iâm very familiar with mobility issues, post-op routines, and the importance of adapting exercise to the animalâs capabilities. All four of my pets are on different prescription diets and medications, so Iâm experienced in administering meds properly, sticking to feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior changes. Whether Iâm caring for animals in my own home or visiting yours, I bring that same level of attentiveness and compassion. Every pet is unique, and I always take the time to understand and follow their specific needs and routines to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for multiple years doing drop ins, house sitting and other services. I grew up with animals in my house at all times as well. I am a third year elementary school teacher, Iâm available after school during weekdays and on the weekends. Once school ends I will be available whenever. I will do whatever around the house that is necessary. I am willing to crate a dog if need be as well as take them on walks or play with dogs or cats in the house along with dropping in.
âFor our first time using Rover Iâm so grateful and impressed by how easy Kennedy made everything! A true professional and confident especially given we had 5 dogs! Iâd recommend Kennedy to anyone and will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thanks, Kennedy!â

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, Iâll be reaching out for her again!

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.
