“Millie did such a great job walking my rescue silver lab, Belle. She took the time to get to know Belle during the meet and greet and asked really good questions. When walking Belle, she arrived on time, communicated well, and was able to redirect Belle, who often struggles to stay calm when other dogs are nearby. I highly recommend her and willing be using her services again!”
“They always go above and beyond and take care of not only my dog but keep me updated with my cats as well! I am so lucky to have them take care of my animals when I’m gone !!🫶🏻”
About: I've taken care of dogs all my life, from a large collie, down to my current 15 lb chorkie. He's 17 years old and still a happy critter. I've volunteered with Angels of Assisi and Red Dog Farms. I have also offered temporary care to cats. My schedule is wide open at this time, so I am very flexible. Let me know when you need me and we can make it work. I'm not currently offering dog care in my home, but I am happy to bring your critter to the nearest dog park for some sun and fun.

I have over 15 years experience caring for furry friends and am comfortable with feeding, walking, administering medications, cleaning, and giving all the love! I have a pup of my own and will treat your loved one just like my own! I currently have open availability on weekdays and weekends! My partner works from home as well so we will have all helpful and playful hands on deck! I am happy to accommodate anything, just reach out and inquire. My fur baby would welcome friends for visits and we allow pups on all surfaces, making them feel at home! We have a very large fenced backyard and front patio area as well as a park on our street.
“Kamy is extremely reliable, even at the last minute! She is so punctual and follows any special instructions I leave carefully. I’m so at ease knowing my puppy is in great hands and can’t recommend her services enough.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life living with and caring for all sorts of animals! I have lots of experience with special needs animals and giving them medications! I’ve worked with animals all sorts of ages and with many different personalities! I’m currently a barista and can typically stop by in the early mornings before work and spend my afternoons/nights caring for your furry friends! I have 2 cats of my own and I do prefer staying with them throughout the night but can make arrangements if needed! Both of my kitties are very spoiled and get lots of love and attention. We love to cuddle and play, and they always get their meds right on time! They get fed twice a day and have routine vet visits so I know they’re in good health and up to date on all vaccines! My cats are 15 and 4 and they mean the absolute world to me.
About: Dogs have been part of my family for more than 25 years. Throughout that time, I've cared for dogs with different energy levels, temperaments, and needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and quality care while their owners are away. I have a schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Whether it's sticking to feeding routines, going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I make pet care a priority each day I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I'll follow your dog's routine as closely as possible, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just giving them the extra attention they need. I want every dog to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away, and I'll treat them like they're part of my own family.
About: Hello, my name is Madison and I am a film student at Cape fear in Wilmington. I grew up on a farm in Ohio, and have had more pets and critters than I can even count in my life. As I’ve gotten older, my husband and I are very passionate about caring for older and special needs animals along with untraditional pets, such as rabbits, snakes, rats, etc. I provide all services from drop-in feedings walking to overnight stays. I am completely available Friday through Sunday. I only have one class Mondays and Tuesdays. And I’m at the Cape fear community college the majority of the day Wednesday and Thursday. I am, however, open to flexible scheduling and making sure all needs are accommodated for your pets. Both my cat and my dog are some of the most incredibly spoiled animals that you could ever meet. Not only does our senior rescue pitbull get two full walks a day, her partner in crime are kitten, who is less than a year old both have lavish treats, and I have more comfortable sleeping quarters than the humans in the house
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: I’ve had cats my entire adult life and have always taken care of the pets of family and friends when they go out of town. Pets are family and I treat them with the love and care that they deserve. I love dogs as well as cats and have experience caring for both. I have availability in the mornings (earlier is better) as well as evenings and I am very flexible on weekends. I am willing to work with you in order to meet your needs and what works for you. My senior cat Miles recently passed away sadly. He was diabetic and we gave him daily pills for his heart murmur. I have experience giving insulin shots as well as convincing your pets to take their pills! I also understand senior pets have increasing needs as they get older.
“Stephanie did an amazing job with my fur babies. I came home to happy dogs. Usually when I’m gone they have a little bit of separation anxiety, but not this time. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely use her again. Cheryl, Jack? and Stanley ?”
About: I've been pet sitting since I was 8, I've always loved animals, and I spent time in senior care when I was younger as well. I will follow any and all instructions for pet care in my clients home. I love to run around and play so I'm very good with energetic pets as well. I work out a lot so bigger dogs won't be an issue either. I will take care of all pets to the best of my ability.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wilmington on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,284 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wilmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wilmington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Wilmington.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilmington. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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 walker.
