“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!!”
About: I have grown up around dogs, my entire life, and have had responsibilities to take care of them since I was a child. Neighbors and roommates have trusted me with their overnight care for 15 years now. I am excited to start dogsitting regularly to gain more experience and continue working while I’m in school. When I am with my family, dogs are a part of the daily routine. I understand the importance of incorporating their needs with my schedule, because they are a member of the house. When I am home with my parents, dogs are a part of the family routine. When I am watching my roommate’s dog, she stays with me most of the day when I am home and follows my routine.
About: Hey, y'all! I had 3 dogs for about 8 years, walked and fed them daily, I have experience with almost all dog breeds from great danes to chihuahuas! I've also had bunnies, guinea pigs, flying squirrels, hamsters, and mice! I absolutely adore cats and have experience with animals of all ages ☺️ Sitting or playing with my cats has become part of my daily routine. I loved walking my dogs when I had them because I don't go outside enough. As long as I know where food, leashes, and pet supplies are, I can guarantee your pet's safety and comfort :) I look forward to meeting you!
“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.”

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.

“Helena has been amazing with our sweet girl, Tally. Helena is prompt, communicative, flexible, and a dog whisperer! Tally LOVES her time with Helena. She has been a huge help with making sure Tally is well cared for while we are working”
“Amanda took amazing care of my senior cat, making sure her medication was given on time and handled with care. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was not only attentive to her needs but also spent quality time with her, giving her plenty of cuddles and comfort. She also kept me updated with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated—it made being away so much easier.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds and genuinely love creating a calm, safe environment for pets while their owners are away. I have hands-on experience caring for a senior dog, including giving daily medications, slower walks, extra comfort and patience, and attentive day-to-day care. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and have experience with pet sitting and home care routines. Beyond our two dogs, my husband and I care for backyard chickens, ducks, and honeybees, so responsibility, routine, and animal care are a daily part of life for us. I’m local to downtown Wilmington, Sunset Park, and midtown, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and thoughtful. Whether your pet needs energetic walks, quiet companionship, medication support, or simply a steady presence while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine, and I currently offer morning and evening drop-ins and walks during the workweek, as well as broader availability on weekends. I’m typically available before 8am and after 6pm on weekdays, with flexible availability Saturdays and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, and home care visits. I especially enjoy creating consistent routines and dependable care for pets while their owners are at work or away for the weekend. I offer drop-in visits and walks in clients’ homes and believe many pets are happiest staying in their familiar environment and routine while their owners are away or working long days. During visits, I focus on calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs — whether that means walks and playtime, feeding routines, giving medications, litter box or yard care, or simply providing companionship and consistency. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or caring for backyard chickens and ducks when needed.
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've had pet dogs my entire life. My parents have me watch their dogs every time they go on vacation. I'm comfortable being around any dog, big or small. I'm currently applying to secondary employment while I transition into more hours at my current job. My availability changes weekly but I am generally flexible based on your needs. Comfortable taking your pet for leashed walks around the neighborhood as I walk my own dogs quite often. Also comfortable going to local parks at your discretion.

Bailey made drop-in visits for our kitty while we were out of town. She was professional and communicative throughout the process. She took several photos each visit and let our kitty out on the screened porch for some outside time, which I know he appreciated. We will definitely book her again!
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.

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.

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.
