“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 😊”
“This was our second stay with Jordan, and I realized I never left a review after the first one. However, I definitely should have! As a first time Rover user, in fact the first time ever leaving my 9-year old pup with a stranger, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Jordan completely exceeded my expectations. He sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay with a plethora of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that my dog was being loved and well cared for. Not only is Jordan amazing, but his family is so kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and surrounded by so much love made all the difference. I can't thank Jordan enough for taking such great care of my dog, Lily. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend booking with him. We'll definitely be back!”
“Jenny is amazing with Jackson. He always comes back so happy and well looked after. She goes above and beyond what is required. I consider myself and Jackson very lucky that we found her.”
About: Having grown up on a farm, I have been around animals all my life. Currently, I live behind the university with my two cavaliers on a little less than an acre. My two are wonderful with other dogs and looking for some playmates. My fenced-in backyard makes for the perfect playground, and your dogs will be free to come and go as they please from inside to the fenced in area. I have boarded as many as 4 dogs at one time and have cared for senior dogs (18+). Reach out for information on boarding opportunities and/or for additional details. I am here full-time and available currently for boarding any time of the day as well as on weekends. I maintain full care of my two, so the more, the merrier! I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe and carefree playtime. My two dogs are very friendly and are sure to make for excellent playmates.
“Thank you Sarah for taking care of my babyy while I was away! Sarah was very attentive and kept me updated throughout the stay. My pup seemed to enjoy herself a lot! Will book again and def recommend!!”
“Kim and her family are amazing! She is so communicative, thorough and easy going. Zoey loved her stay. We highly recommend Kim and will continue to use her in the future.”
“Olivia was wonderful and took such great care of Laci. She accepted the booking request pretty last minute and was very accommodating. She sent photos and a video of my dog and I felt very comfortable leaving Laci in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again in the future. Laci had a great time!”
“Kaylah did a wonderful job watching my dog, Winnie. She was very communicative and took great care of her while I was away for Thanksgiving. I’ll definitely be coming back for future boarding.”
“Kimberly and her family took amazing care of my little old pup. Gave him love and snuggles sent updated photos to us the whole time we were away. What an incredible experience. We will absolutely be using Kimberly as our sitter again!”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities! I’ve looked after multiple pets for friends, family, and clients; providing walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I also have a cat of my own, so I understand the importance of providing patient, attentive care and making pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I previously worked at a dog park, where I gained hands-on experience reading canine body language, understanding dog behavior, and safely managing interactions between dogs of different temperaments. This experience has taught me how to recognize stress signals, prevent conflicts, and ensure every pet has a positive, safe experience! Im currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the week/weekend! I work from 9am to 5pm 3 to 4 times a week, but my schedule can be adjusted depending on you and your pets needs! When caring for pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any household rules. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping the home clean and secure. When caring for pets in my apartment, I ensure the client knows I have a cat of my own, who loves dogs and enjoys the company of having another furry friend around the house! I also live in a very walkable part of town, so walks will not be an issue, as well as a dog park only a few steps from my apartment!
“Helena and her family were so good with our dog, Mugsy. She took the time to listen to and understand any special instructions, and sent us regular photos and updates. She reached out quickly when there was any questions or concerns. I can tell Helena truly loves dogs and treats them like family. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. However, I started to do more at home, longer sitting when I was 15. I have helped dogsit small, medium, and large dogs. I enjoy playing fetch, walking, and playing with dogs. I also love giving belly rubs. I am a teacher, so I have summer breaks off. Additionally, I have two week breaks and holidays off. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to provide quality care for your pets. I have paved sidewalks and a fenced in dog park. I also have lots of grass, as well as the ability to drive your dog to the park to make sure it gets adequate exercise.
“Thelma had a great time running around the yard! Robert send along cute photos and was flexible when our plans had to change last minute. Highly recommend!”
“Mia was amazing with my anxious dog Reya! She was very communicative, took great care of her, and sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Willie must have had a good time. We dropped him off healthy and he was the same when we picked him up. Matt was personable, polite and obviously a dog lover. Can't wait to book him again.”
“Kate and her family are the best! It was my second time dropping my dog off with her, and she takes such good care her! Marley is older and I often worry about her, but I feel at ease when she’s at Kate’s. Her kids are great with Marley, too!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Wilmington is $45

Hilary was so great and I’d recommend her to anyone. She watched my new kitten that stumbled upon us for 9 days. She put my mind at ease so I could be on vacation mode. Communicated everyday with texts/photo of our kitten which was amazing. Followed the feeding schedule and special requests. Thank you for everything Hilary!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Wilmington on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 377 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wilmington. About 91% of Wilmington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
