About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life, including dogs, cats, chickens, peafowl, and other farm animals. I also have experience providing dog walks and drop-in visits through Wag!, where I have cared for a variety of dogs while following each pet owner’s specific instructions and routines. I understand the importance of following routines, providing safe care, and paying attention to an animal’s behavior and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you’re away, I will make sure they are well cared for and comfortable. I currently work part-time and maintain a flexible pet care schedule. My work hours can vary from week to week, but I communicate clearly with pet owners and respond promptly to requests. My weekday availability is typically in the afternoon and evening, most often after 3 PM due to my work schedule. On weekends and many days off, I have greater flexibility and can often accommodate additional daytime walks, visits, and pet care needs. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and following each owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level so I can help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away.
“Jennifer is the best. She went above and beyond to help arrange some last minute and additional care when we had a concern about our cats. She wasn’t even scheduled but jumped right in to help us. We appreciate her so much. And she is also great with our kitties and they love her!”
About: I've been around dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a love for animals. I have a dog of my own, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need every day. I've also cared for dogs for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'll treat every dog like they're part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love and care. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I'm currently finishing my BSN through an online program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I'm available most mornings, afternoons, and many evenings, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I'm happy to work with pet owners to accommodate their schedules and make sure their pets receive the best care possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I strive to provide reliable, loving care that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I think it’s very important that dogs get their daily exercise! It’s always a bonus for treats. They need their playtime and I ensure they are happy!

About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.
“This was my first time leaving the dogs to be checked on by a non family member. Morgan was so kind to do a meet and greet a week or 2 in advance. My 3 dogs loved her instantly! Morgan let me know when she arrived for the drop in, sent me a picture, and texted again when she left. I will absolutely request Morgan again!”
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have a special (oversized) spot in my heart for all animals. I have always wanted to work in the veterinary field and am going to college for it! I have dog sat for family freinds in the past and am very trustworthy . I'm currently unemployed and wanting to make money before and possibly during college! I do occasional babysitting but have a very open schedule right now. I respect privacy and wouldn't do anything I wouldn't want done to me. My priority is always caring for the animal and doing all that i'm needing to do.
About: I will make sure your dog is well nurtured and taken care of, even if it’s just a walk your dog will have the best time! I’m currently in school online so my schedule is mainly open any time after 12! As for weekends I’m Available as well in the mornings or evenings. I always make sure when I’m in a clients home to text them and let them know that I’m there, just so they have peace of mind that I’m there with their doggy and that they are feed, taken out, and loved.

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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
