About: Passionate about dogs with 10+ years of experience in walking, feeding, and providing TLC to furry friends. I've also grown up with labs and currently own a sweet little pug. I currently work remotely, so I have flexibility during the week to play with your pups! I'm available any time on weekdays and Saturdays, and any time after 12 on Sundays to care for your pets. I make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable in their own home or mine, sticking to their routine and making them happy! I treat all dogs I care for as if they are my own.
“Excellent, prompt, communications. Andrea was amenable to a pre-stay visit to ensure dogs were compatible with the environment. Dogs received excellent care during their stay and Andrea was willing to flex on the pick-up date when our return travel was delayed.”

“Jenn and her son were so great with my dog, Mugsy. Mugsy is a little nervous around kids, but Jenn’s son was the perfect demeanor to put her at ease. They took Mugsy on plenty of walks and showed her lots of love. I would definitely hire Jenn again in the future for boarding!”
“Helena gave so much love to our dog and she has a comfortable and trustworthy environment. I felt I did not need to worry while on vacation. She took detailed notes since our pet has a special diet, and she seemed to enjoy cuddling and exercising our pet.”

“We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Christina! This was the first time we’ve ever left our pup, so naturally we were a little nervous, but we truly didn’t have to worry at all. We received photos, videos, and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that our dog was getting plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love. Our dog is young, energetic, and can be a handful at times, but our sitter handled her wonderfully and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. The best part was seeing how happy our dog was when we picked her up. She was clearly well cared for and comfortable the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with our dog again. Highly recommend!”

“Steven really helped me out in a pinch when we had to go out of town suddenly. He welcomed our crew of four into his home, including our special needs dachshund whom his youngest son fell in love with him. I would definitely use Steven again. Thanks”

“"We had such a wonderful experience with Robert and his family. From the moment Brinkley arrived, they made him feel comfortable and loved. Robert sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, letting us know how Brinkley was eating, sleeping, and spending his day — which meant the world to us. What stood out most was the genuine care and extra one‑on‑one time Robert gave him. Brinkley came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust Robert with Brinkley again.””

“Amazing caregiver for our sweet Oscar. He requires a lot of love and Jay was definitely up for the challenge. Great communication and flexibility. Definitely recommend!”

“Another successful stay a wish there are more stars to give. She takes such good care of boy teddy bear to the point where he doesn't want to come home almost makes us feel really secure when we're out on a trip”

“Finley was absolutely fantastic with our dog from the moment we dropped him off until we picked him up. We received regular updates throughout the day, which reassured us that he was not only having a great time but also felt completely at home with her. Her communication was outstanding—clear and thorough, both before and during the stay. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Finley and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Mandy does such a great job taking care of our boy Tito when we are away. He is always happy and in good shape when he comes home. Mandy is like a second Mim to Tito.”

About: I’ve been a dog and cat sitter since I was a teenager. My next door neighbors’ dogs had many special needs that they weren’t able to provide due to their busy careers. I cared for both pups just like they were my own until they crossed the rainbow bridge ❤️ More lately I have cared for dogs of every size, cats of all behaviors, and even geckos and snakes! Animals are incredibly important to me, and I’d love to be a caretaker for your fur baby! I do work full time, but my schedule is a bit flexible so weekday walks and outings are typical! A normal day for me is working 6-8 hours and spending the rest of the time at home or walking on the beach! I do my best to follow all instructions given to me by the pet owner, with walkable pets I have plenty of time to take them out for a spin around my neighborhood. I’m a sucker for dogs and cats so if you don’t let your fur babies on the furniture, please let me know, otherwise they will get all the love and cuddles on the couch 😂
“Review for Kaylah, the Dog Sitter I cannot recommend Kaylah enough! She stepped in on short notice during the busy holiday season to watch my pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Not only was she incredibly reliable and communicative, but my dog was clearly happy, healthy, and well cared for when I returned. It’s always nerve-wracking leaving your pet with someone new, but Kaylah’s warm personality and professionalism instantly put me at ease. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, Kaylah is the perfect choice. Thank you again, Kaylah, for your exceptional care - I’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Moose loved his stay with Alexis! She provided so many cute updates and made sure he lived his best life while being a guest in her home. I wish I could leave my sweet boy with her every time I travel.”

About: I have worked with all types of animals since I was a child. My friends would call me the dog whisperer because I just understand them naturally! I love training dogs and horses. I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a flock of ducks! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies. I have cared for senior pets as well. I have spent hundreds of hours over the last several years educating myself on animal behavior for my own pets benefits so I am well equipped to love and care for yours as well! I have always been passionate about working with animals of all type. I will always go the extra mile to provide topnotch care and service. My husband and I travel often so I know how important it can be to find petcare that you can feel good about! I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am able to come to your house during the day or stay nights! I can offer limited boarding as well. I love animals and I love travel. I would be committed to caring for your pets as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know your pets as each one is so special. I am reliable and can accommodate just about any extra requests such as bathing, working on training skills, hiving medication, providing adequate excercise etc. I will ALWAYS do this with your pets safety and happiness as my top priority.
“Great sitter for our pups for a weekend out of town. Took photos and gave us updates. Huge backyard with fenced in pool to allow our dogs to play in the sun! Even accommodated a later than usual pickup after our flight got delayed. 10/10 recommend!”

About: You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, birds, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog walking and sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My last dog, Wendell, was a 150 lb. mastiff whom I adopted when he was 4.5 years old. He had never been socialized and was scared of most people, so in the six years we were together, I gained a lot of first-hand experience working through behavioral issues in a very large and strong breed. Our current dog is Lucy, a happy-go-lucky bull terrier who is deaf. She loves every living being! I’m also comfortable taking care of cats and other pets. My experience administering medication: I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m typically available any day of the week and can do early mornings and late evenings if needed. Let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate! We have a secure, fenced yard, a doggie door, and a covered back patio with doggie beds perfect for lounging in the sun or shade. We also have a friendly bull terrier who will happily keep your dog company! We can easily keep your dog in a separate room while we are away from the house if you prefer. Lucy’s dad/my significant other, Pedro, also lives here and also loves animals.
“Josephine was very accomodating for our last minute dogsitting needs Thanksgiving weekend. She took great care of Lucy who loved playing with Roxy! We appreciate her patience and love she gave our anxious dog.”

About: I’ve had animals since I was a kid and always enjoyed taking care of them! It’s very rewarding for me. In my early 20s I was a dog trainer I’m a stay at home dad. We have a 10 and a 5 year old. I take walks throughout the day and between my wife someone is always home unless we are taking the kids somewhere. If they like the car and the park I can even take them with me! I walk a lot and am outside with my kids throughout the day. My kids love dogs so they will be showered with love and cuddles (if they enjoy that).
“Valerie was AMAZING! She sent us daily updates and took such good care of our dog. We would recommend her to anyone and would love to have her watch our dog again in the future 😊”

Wilmington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brooklin took amazing care of my cat, Lylla, while I was away. Lylla is very shy around new people, but Brooklin was incredibly patient and was able to get her to warm up, which says a lot! She went above and beyond to make sure Lylla was comfortable and cared for, even helping encourage her to eat when she wasn’t showing much interest in food. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. Brooklin kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my spoiled girl was in good hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about Lylla’s well-being and treated her like her own. I would absolutely book with Brooklin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

Andrew and Erin, I’ve been the best pet sitters we could ask for! Our little multi-Pooh, Chloe, absolutely loves them, and has a great time with them! They are very communicative, kind and send lots of pictures and updates. It makes leaving her so much easier knowing that she’s having a great time while I’m gone.

Ryan was great! Made sure our babies were taken care of, got walks, and especially lots of snuggles, and he updated me on most days with pics. This was our first time using Rover (normally board the dogs), but I will definitely come back to Ryan next time we take a trip. Thanks for taking care of our love bugs, Ryan!

Audre was wonderful! She treated my dog, Alfie, like her own. She sent many pictures and kept me updated while I was away. She even cooked him a nice dinner of brown rice and veggies, which he absolutely loved! I would absolutely trust Audre to watch my dog again whenever I need to be out of town.

So happy I found Danielle. Dakota loved her right away, and she took great care of her while I was away for a full week. Dakota hurt her paw right before her stay and had to take medicine twice a day the entire time. Danielle was a true pro and kept me informed with lots of photos and videos each day, which I loved! Danielle will hands down be our go-to sitter from now on.
