House Sitting in Wilmington

“We want to thank Laura for onboarding so quickly for our dog care schedule. She did a great job with our loving dog who instantly grew attached to her. She is very skilled at anticipating the needs of a pet. Thank you Laura.”

“Lori is awesome. She watched our senior dog and our 2-year-old dog in our home for a week-long trip. She communicated very well and sent tons of pictures. She gave medications to our senior dog (who requires a lot of patience) and kept our younger dog well exercised. When our flight home got delayed, Lori was super understanding and flexible during the uncertainty. Our house was spotless when we got home. Lori is a true professional and we'd recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Lori, for giving us peace of mind while we were away.”

“Leona was great with our boxer, Brussel Sprout. She was very responsive and let us know of any issues so we could help her out while we were away!”

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!

“Haley did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She was respectful, on time, and caring. We would highly recommend Haley to anyone seeking care for their pet.”

About: I grew up with animals my whole life and I’ve helped taken care of friends and families animals. I also used to work at a farm and help with those animals many times. I have two babies at home that I take care of 24/7. I’m a stay at home mom who would have plenty of time on my hands every day. I have a big backyard where pups can go out and walk and have fun. I have a dog crate if needed and I have a dog of my own and cats of my own for your fur babies to love.

“Amie was great! She helped us out in a pinch with a last minute need. She was great with our dog and sent lots of updates which helped put us at ease.”

“Yes, yes, Karen took great care of our pet, Cinder, and our home while she was here. Easy communicator, responsible, and kind. I am so glad to have found Karen and look forward to calling on her again!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of my own since I am old enough now. I watch dogs and cats for my neighbors and grandparents. I like spending time outdoors with my dogs and walking them and throwing the ball. I have cat sit before and was really easy and fun to me! My schedule is kind of wonky right now as I am in college, but I am free on weekends and some weekdays whenever you might need me! My dog takes meds right now for seizures so I am experienced at giving dogs medicine. Very responsible animal lover I have always had animals in my life. I am good about having the house clean when there’s a fluffy shedding dog in it.

About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.

About: hi! I am new to pet care, I have taken care of children my whole life! I am Looking forward to gaining experience and knowledge! I am a college student first so I tend to only sit during the weekends, or after class on weekdays if necessary. I’m slightly flexible though! Feel free to reach out :) In your home, I do my best to keep everything just the way your pet (and you!) like it. I follow your routines, stick to their feeding and potty schedules, and give lots of love and attention so they feel totally at ease while you’re away. I’m tidy, respectful, and treat your space like it’s my own. In my home, your pet will be treated like royalty—with a comfy place to nap, toys to play with, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I only take in pets I know I can fully care for, so your furry friend always gets the time and love they deserve. Whether I’m visiting them or hosting them, I make sure every pet feels safe, special, and very, very loved.

About: Hi! I'm Nicole. I'm a software developer & animal lover. I've been around dogs since I was little and have always wanted to adopt one. Caring for dogs with busy owners is a great compromise! Dog owners will love that I will treat their furry pal as if they were mine. They will also love that I have private outdoor space for playtime, anytime, and am right next to central park so there's alot of ground for your furry friend to explore! I truely care about your pets well being so I am consistent with feeding time and will always make sure your furry friend is comfortable, whether its brushing her or refilling her water bowl. I am available Wednesdays and the Weekends for pet sitting, walking, and house sitting. If you are going away for a weekend and need someone to house & pet sit, I'm your girl!

“Trista stayed overnight with our fur babies. She was so good with our 3 dogs. She put our mind at ease. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day. The pups were happy too :) Will definitely book again.”

“What a dear person. Nadine is a natural with knowledge and a love of animals. She showed great judgement, and was kind enough to let me know when our cat was in for the night. She was thoughtful, and clearly is great with animals. Our cat was thoroughly in love.”

About: Leave your dog with me and rest assured that they’ll be having the time of their lives; daily walks and hikes, lots of individual attention, cuddles, and love, and someone home with them most of the day to ensure they get what they need. It’s really important to me to create a safe, loving, and fun environment for your pup while they keep here. I strive to make your dogs stay at my farm special; my repeat client pups are always excited to be here when they’re dropped off. I love dogs, and any pup who’s staying on the farm will be treated like one of my own. I work from home, so i’m almost always home with the pups, and we spend a lot of time outside, hiking, walking, running, or working in the yard. I've been dog sitting since I was young, on and off. I'm also a livestock farmer who cares for livestock guardian dogs, cats, goats, pigs, chickens, and other animals on a daily basis at work. I have a pup of my own, 3 year old Luddy, who makes life better in every way! I'm comfortable providing basic veterinary care, based upon my livestock farming professional background, and will make sure your pet gets lots of exercise and play outside as i'm an avid runner and hiker. I work from home, as a farmer, so your dog will almost never be left alone. They can hang out in the house with me or out in the garden while i work, or in a fenced in portion of the yard. We usually go on a long hike, walk, or run every afternoon, and the pups are invited to sleep anywhere they’d like, whether it’s the couch, my bed, or their own bed or crate. I live in a house on a dead end road with 300 acres of wooded trails right outside my back door, where I take my pup Luddy on long hikes or trail runs every day. We’re far away from any car traffic and have a fenced in portion of the yard for pups to run around in. I spend a lot of time at home working in the garden, playing with Luddy, hiking, or running. Luddy is a very friendly pup who loves to play and wrestle with other dogs, and tends to tire his friends out...at which point he loves to fall asleep curled around another pup :)

About: I have experience in veterinary clinics as an assistant, technician, and at the front desk for a combined 3+ years. I have done petsitting for 16 years. I am well-versed in animal body language and I have experience handling pets of many temperaments, including anxious, reactive, senior, and medically complex animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness or stress, and helping pets feel safe. My background in veterinary medicine has taught me the importance of patience, reliability, and attentive care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My schedule is very pet-care friendly, and I’m used to building my daily routine around animals’ needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and monitoring animal behavior and health. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure pets receive consistent attention and care throughout the time we spend together. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, exercised, given fresh water, and provided with plenty of attention, play, and affection. I also monitor their behavior closely for any signs of stress or illness and keep owners updated with photos and messages. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable handling medications, senior pets, anxious animals, and pets with special needs. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment where pets feel secure and cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 35 years, and I just love it! I have to travel for work which means I can’t have my own right now, so looking after others is a true joy. I naturally treat every animal as if they were my own — and making sure they feel secure, loved, and happy while their parents are away. With every sit, I bring both reliability and heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and more — each with their own unique personalities and quirks. I’ve played with energetic puppies who needed training and adventure, given gentle support and patience to sweet seniors, reassured nervous or shy animals with steady routines & space, and comforted sick or elderly pets in their final days. One of the most important lesson I learnt came from my own senior dog, who had arthritis. Beyond medication, what mattered most were the little things. I could see from her body language that her favorite time of day was simply sitting together in the sun while I gently massaged her and talked to her. Those quiet moments made her feel safe and deeply loved — and they taught me how much presence and empathy matter in pet care. I work remotely with flexible hours, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pets — for walks, play, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship so they don’t feel alone. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been sitting through other platforms where I’ve built excellent reviews and references. Having hosted sitters myself, I also understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe clear communication is key, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, feedback, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. My work is remote so I can be anywhere as long as I have wifi. I only work part-time with flexible hours which gives me the space to adapt to your pets needs & also have the time to for plenty of walks, cuddles & play. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure their routines stay consistent so they feel secure — from feeding and walks to playtime and rest. I pay close attention to each animal’s signals, balancing structure with the affection, stimulation, or quiet companionship they need. Safety is always a priority. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure food and medications are given correctly, and keep doors, windows, and gates secure. I maintain a calm, clean environment so pets feel relaxed, and I treat every home with the same respect as my own. I’m a naturally tidy person who cleans as I go, so you’ll return to a home that feels just as you left it. Having hosted sitters myself, I fully understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe strong communication is key. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and even video calls as often as you’d like — so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Lizzie was great with the dogs and everyone was happy on our return. Lizzie was on time and dependable. Everyone was loved as one of her own. I would definitely recommend.”

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had an unwavering love for animals of all kinds. Little critters, classic house pets, muddy farm animals, and everyone in between. I like making animals feel safe and loved. I have a lot of experience caring for a variety of animals, from kittens and puppies to elder dogs and cats with medication schedules, outdoor animals like horses, goats and pigs, as well as reptiles, birds, and smaller indoor creatures. I’ve also worked as a foster for dogs with anxiety and behavioral problems who need extra training and attention. My schedule right now is extremely flexible, for the first time in a long time. I want to spend as much time as I can working and playing with animals! I have a 4 year old male dog who is highly energetic and loves to play with any animal who’ll let him. If boarding in your home, he can come with or stay home depending on what is best for your animal. Happy to cater my services to whatever is needed
