“I can’t thank Baily enough for how great she was caring for my cat!! She was very kind, communicative and consistent. I highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of a sitter— she’s the best!!”
“Taryn has been great with our kitties! We are so appreciative that she’s been available to help us on such short notice! We are moving out of town soon and will miss hiring Taryn for services! We highly recommend her for your pets! :)”
“Amelia is was amazing with our 13 year old dog. She sent multiple photos with every check-in. She also kept us updated on how Jarvis was eating while we were gone - he has some separation anxiety and doesn’t always like to eat a lot when we aren’t home. I highly recommend booking with Amelia - we definitely will book again the next time we need someone to check in on Jarvis!”
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.
“Katie was great with my dog while we were out of town. She gave us a detailed update on our dog with the pictures and was very responsive via text message. I will definitely ask Katie to take care of my dog next time!”
“We knew right away that Andrew would be the perfect pet sitter for our pups, Lynyrd Skynyrd and David Bowie. The boys bonded with him immediately which made my "mama heart" soar. We went to New Orleans for a trip and Andrew stepped in and provided the BEST care. The photos he sent captured the boys in true happiness and total contentment. We are going to NYC soon and Andrew will keep them again. Do the right thing and obtain Andrew's services for your puppers; they will have a blast and you will have total peace of mind.”
“Beth was a wonderful sitter while we were out of town. She made sure she came over right on time took such great care of our animals. She played with them, took long walks and made them feel loved. She was so great at communicating with us and sending us many pictures which we loved. Will absolutely be booking her again. She was fantastic!!”

About: I have had my fur baby now for 8 months. He’s still a puppy and lots of fun! I have fostered a few pups this year and enjoy spending time with dogs. I work from home during the week and I have time to give your furbaby non stop attention. My building has its own gated dog park and a park for lots of exercise during the day. I enjoy grooming at home, playing with toys and training with delicious treats. I would treat your fur baby just like my own lil guy (Tino)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely hire Jennifer again in an instant! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and genuinely lovely to speak with throughout our time away. We felt very comfortable knowing both our cat and our home were being well cared for. We also ran into a few unexpected issues with feeding, and she handled everything with so much patience, thoughtfulness, and care. She was proactive about keeping us updated and worked with us to make sure our cat was comfortable and well taken care of. We really appreciated how kind, reliable, and conscientious she was. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
This was our 2nd time hiring Amanda to watch our 2 cats and she will continue to be our #1 choice. This was the first time we've ever left the cats for two full weeks and it was so reassuring to know she was looking in on them. Great communication, super reliable, and overall highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wilmington on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,328 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wilmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wilmington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilmington. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 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.
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 sitter.
