“Fernanda did a wonderful job watching our kitty. She took very good care of him while we were gone. She even made the time to play with him which was very sweet of her. She took pictures and kept us updated the whole time, we will definitely be using her again!”
“My cat Biggie enjoyed his time with Emily while I was out of town! She is a great communicator and helped me through my first time using Rover. She left my house clean and ensured my cat was well taken care of every day.”
“Michelle is an absolutely wonderful person who loves animals. She was great with her visits. Pictures showed my dog was a happy camper with her around. He’s never been left behind at home. He usually boards at a local facility. They were booked for the holidays, so, I went this route. It was a good decision.”
“Katie was amazing!! I can tell my cat really loved her and she always made sure to leave detailed check in cards, which I really appreciated. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I have pet sit for neighbors, coworkers, friends, & family for many years! Now that I have been living in Georgia for a few years now I am looking to get back into it. On top of that I have my own dog that I have personally attended 2 behavioral training courses with, so I have a foundation of basic training knowledge! My availability is as follows: All day Mon-Tues Before 2pm & after 11pm Wed-Sat On Sundays, I work double shifts (10am-10pm) & will not be available. I am not able to bring other pets into my own apartment due to pet limitation requirements. However in other’s homes, I am respectful that their space is not mine. I am simply there to conduct my best care for the fur babies while their parents aren’t there. I am more than happy to do long walks/playtime to ensure pets are still receiving mental & physical stimulation on a daily basis. Cleaning up accidents / litter does not phase me at all, as I have dealt with cleaning these things up for many years now. You can trust me to keep your home today while you are away!
“Thank you Sarah for keeping an eye on Mittens and Katniss while we were gone-they so appreciated you checking in on them. Sarah was amazing and super flexible. She sent us updates and pictures which was nice. She also even brought a package in for us. I will 100% be using Sarah again-she is a great Cat Mom and knew what the girls needed! ❤️😽”
“We love Michelle!! She is absolutely wonderful and our babies are so well taken care of by Michelle! Michelle is on time and very dependable. Our dogs are comfortable with her and that says a lot especially since our babies only see us all the time. It is a huge relief to find someone who we can trust with our babies.”
“Paige, is a fantastic sitter who is trustworthy and reliable. Her communication skills and adaptability has made her one the best sitters I have worked with. Paige immediately built a bond with my pet and we enjoy having her around.”
About: I have grown up my entire life with a household full of dogs and cats, so I know what it takes to care for them and bring them happiness. I have a puppy of my own right now and know how particular I can be about certain things, so any special requests or needs will be met by me. I am an advocate for training and can ensure you I will follow your instructions carefully. I love going on walks and am an active person, no better companion than a pup. I give my undivided attention to each pet and will make sure you feel at ease while you are away. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well as shelter pets through fostering. I am free on the weekends to help take your pet out on a walk or a visit while you are traveling/busy. I enjoy being outside, why not include a furry friend! I will take them on long, but safe walks and provide a lot of water. If I'm visiting a home, I will be sure to always follow the owner's guidelines and make sure I leave the place better than I found it. Everyone will be happy!

About: Hi, I’m Toccara! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds like dogs, cats, birds, bunnies. I have officially been pet sitting since I was 16 and have also been working at a dog daycare for the past four months, where gained lots of experience with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am currently working part-time at my job. On days that I am off from work I usually have a very open schedule past 10am and can always make discussion on what you prefer!! When caring for pets in my home I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I pay attention to their individual needs and personalities. I treat every dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of affection and care. I am gentle, patient, and attentive and have especially learned these things from working with dogs. and would never do anything to harm an animal. Working at a dog daycare also helped me learn about different sickness and what to look out for dogs when something isn’t right or if they need medical attention.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Jakub treated our dogs like his own. He sent pictures and communicated with us during his visit. Jakub handled our special needs pup with great care, and clarified any questions he had regarding our detailed instructions. Our dogs were so happy, and clearly spoiled while he was here. We highly recommended Jakub! He will be our first choice anytime we need a dog sitter.”

Haley took such great care of our girls! We were in a pinch, needing a dog sitter for St. Paddy’s on fairly short notice. Haley came to our rescue. We instantly had peace of mind because our pups instantly loved her during the meet and greet. When visit day arrived, she sent so many cute pics of our girls playing outside and relaxing on the couch! She also sent a detailed visit note. We really appreciate the time and care she gave them. You can tell Haley truly has a heart for pet care. We’ll definitely be calling her again!

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 1,091 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wilmington Island. 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 Island 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.

- 100% 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.
