“Emily was FANTASTIC! The dogs warmed up to her pretty quick and never once did I worry about them while we were away for the Thanksgiving holiday. We got picture updates daily and she was very quick to respond to every message. Emily made the whole process 10x less stressful! THANK YOU AGAIN EMILY!”


“Amanda did a great job! overall. While on our trip one of the dogs had to go to to the vet and Amanda took care of transport and of course provide lots of love to Domi. We highly recommend Amanda and we will be utilizing her in the future.”


“We have re-booked with Kaitlyn and Leslie again and we were not disappointed! Photo updates throughout the day as per our request to give us piece of mind that our girls are being well cared for! Great communication!”


“I will not trust anyone else with my babies. Sara I'd absolutely amazing. She really cares and does an amazing job. She sends pictures and takes care of my fur babies like her own.”


“Jessica is amazing. She took great care of our pups while we were out of town. She kept us informed, sent pictures, and left our house spotless. We highly recommend her when you need someone to love your pets while you are away.”


“Laine was wonderful. she spent lots of quality time with my pug, throwing the ball with him in the backyard and I know that that’s something that he could do for hours. I didn’t have to worry about anything while I was on vacation and she sent me great updates. I liked her so much that I actually have booked her already for future travel.”


“Katherine did an outstanding job staying in our home with our 80 pound greyhound and tabby cat! They loved her company and felt comfortable with her from the minute they met her! She did everything we asked and gave us so much peace of mind. Her love of fur babies shines through. We're looking forward to having her stay with our pets again soon!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals for all my life as I have owned animals for years both dogs and cats. I have been trusted by family members and friends to take care of their furry friends! I am currently home for the summer from college. I am available any time of the weekdays and weekends and for as long as needed! If there is a fenced in backyard I will allow them to be off leash(if wanted) but will keep a careful eye on them. With lease they will be kept close and have an eye on them always!

“Lucy was great! She Provided updates of our pups via text and pictures and kept them company while we were gone. Would definitely ask her to house sit and dog sit again. It gives a great peace of mind when you know your pups are safe. Thanks Lucy!!”


About: Hello! I am a SAHM to a little boy born in May 2025, and have spent my life loving on animals, always having pets in the home and taking care of neighbor dogs. I currently have 3 wonderful rescue doggies that I love with all my heart and would love to spread some of the care to your sweet pet. I am a brand new mom and have availability to work around my newborn’s schedule. Once I go back to work, I will be working part time. I think it is so important to make your pet feel comfortable with me and the environment. I will always take their lead for what they need whether it be space to process a new person, or lots of cuddles and play.

About: Hi! I’m Ciarra and a little new to rover, but I have plenty of experience taking care of animals. I grew up on a farm which included chickens, goats, cats, livestock dogs and guinea pigs. I love taking care and spending time with all kinds of animals. I’m a very attentive sitter and can’t wait to meet your pets! I’m a student working part-time, so having a second, flexible job is extremely helpful. I also get to work with animals, so this works out perfectly for me! I live in an apartment and have a female and male cat, so I most likely won’t host any pets overnight unless it’s a very specific circumstance. I can, however, utilize the dog park and trails near me!

“A huge thank you for taking care of everything! A quick review of Kaila with Rover, We just wanted to reach out and say a massive thank you to Kaila for being such an absolutely exceptional house and dog sitter! Honestly, we know Woody can be a bit of a challenge to get to know at first – he's a little choosy about who he lets into his inner circle! But you clearly have the magic touch, because you completely won him over and made him your new best friend. That means the world to us. It was such a relief knowing that both the house and Woody were in such incredibly capable and caring hands. We truly appreciate everything you did. Thanks again for everything and woody love his new toy you got him. :-) Warmly, John”


“Jennifer was amazing with Cosmo , Mako and fifi ! She spoiled them and took care of them , and was right on time for the visits at our home , we will definitely book in the future again 🙏🏻”



“Emily was very professional. She came on her own time to meet our fur babies before our trip so they would be comfortable with her staying in their home. She sent pictures and communicated throughout our trip and left our home clean and organized. We hope to have Emily again.”


About: I've had dogs my whole life. I am very familiar with senior dogs with special needs, and finicky dogs. I've always taken the best possible care of our dogs. I've gone thru TPLO surgeries, heart disease, tumors, injections, seizures. Whatever medication was needed, they got. No detail will ever be overlooked. Dogs are the most precious creatures on this planet and deserve nothing but love. I have volunteered at shelters and walked dogs there; I have owned my own boarding business. Why would I pick myself over someone else? My attention to detail and genuine concern for your dog(s). You know how the biggest fear is the dog getting loose - that's my biggest fear too. It's not happening on my watch. Whenever I close or lock a door or gate, I triple-check that it is shut/locked. And I triple check your dog has everything it needs before I leave. I love lists so if you don't make me one I will make my own! I work weekdays from 10:00 to approximately 3:00, I can do drop-ins / walks before or after that. If you're not far from my job (near Truman & DeRenne) I can do a lunchtime visit. You will let me know how long you want the visit(s) to be. If I'm doing a walk in the summer, I will try hard to stick to shaded areas, I will have water with me for your dog, and I will make sure their feet are not on hot pavement (or they can wear booties if you have them). If they start to slow down we will take a break. At your home I will take your dog outside to go potty, try to encourage them to stay out there a little while and enjoy the freedom and fresh air. Hard to play outside when it's so hot, but maybe we can play with a water hose. (Any ideas I have will be discussed with you first.) If it's raining, I like to put raincoats on them, but if you don't like that I will dry them before they come back inside. I will always treat your home with the same respect that I have for your dog(s).

“Caroline was incredibly responsible, checked in frequently, followed all of my instructions carefully and cared for my pets as if they were her own. in addition she took excellent care of my space, and i was worry free while away. i would highly recommend caroline for any pet sitting needs!”


“Vivian took great care of my dogs. She offered to meet the dogs in advance so they would be comfortable with her. She was very accommodating and ensured my dogs got wonderful care. They both loved her! She also left my house clean and was great at communicating. I will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Jennifer was fabulous! She communicated frequently and sent pictures the entire time. I will absolutely be a return costumer. My babies were happy upon my return and seemed very well cared for.”

Wilmington Island pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elena was great with our animals and our house! She came to meet everyone and get a rundown of everything before her time watching the house and took detailed notes and was ready when the day came! Our animals loved Elena and had a great time, she will be our go-to sitter moving forward!

Amy was so wonderful to watch our dog Lola while we were in town for a wedding. Lola takes a little time to warm up to new people and unfamiliar situations, and Amy was so lovely to meet us at the park the day before our event so Lola could get to know her. She took great care of our pup and sent photos while we were away. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone needing pet care. She's a natural with animals and it's clear she loves them.

Ashley did such an awesome job with my pups! I have a high anxiety dog that she was very patient with and a new puppy who requires a lot of attention. I highly recommend her to anyone especially for dogs that may need more attention and care. I will definitely use her services again when the time comes for me to need another pet sitter!
