“Thank you for taking such great care of Lady! We could tell by the pictures provided that she had a great time playing in the backyard and she looks forward to hanging out with you again soon!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover & I’m so happy that I chose Amanda. First of all, it was a last minute request and she was kind enough to squeeze us in. She took such good care of Peggie & sent the most adorable picture of Peggie. I cannot thank Amanda enough and I will definitely have Amanda watch Peggie every chance I could!”
“Marissa is exceptional she took our 7 day appointment last minute and was very understanding and communicative. We were very skeptical at first using a service one to watch our puppy and two having someone coming in our home while we weren’t there. Marissa communicated every day as well as sent pictures. She definitely went over and beyond with our puppy “Buddy”, She bathed him, took care of his play pen area as we would. Im very thankful for Marissa and clearly Buddy enjoyed her as well.”
“Maya was great with our 2 dogs. She was reliable and on time for every visit. We were away for a long weekend and were very busy. Her check ins and pictures of the dogs she sent showed me they were good and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely ask her again.”
“Jordan is amazing! Our travel plans got messed up and she was super-flexible. She worked with us to make sure our fur babies were safe and cared for. Jordan communicates well and always lets us know if anything is amiss with our pets or our house. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Cassandra was willing to care for my cats on extremely short notice and we did not even get to do a meet and greet in advance. Nevertheless, she was immediately able to bond with my cats and asked insightful questions and was very careful to be sure they were getting the right amounts of food and supplements. From the expression on my cats faces in the photos she sent, I can tell that the cats absolutely love her. I can recommend her highly and hope she will be willing to help us again. I think she is a cat whisperer!”
“Cara is the best! She takes care of Gambit as if he is her own dog. He looks forward to seeing her, going on walks and playing. I don’t think I’d ever find anyone as great as Cara! I consider her part of the Gambit family”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our two cats. He posted daily photos, which I greatly looked forward to each day while on vacation. He has excellent communication skills, and I know my cats will miss him! I would definitely recommend his services to any other cat owner that is looking for a cat sitter!”
About: I pet sit for my neighbors when they go away, I'll stay with them and make sure they're okay throughout the night. I also walk their dogs when they need me to while they're at work or stuck out longer than they expected. I was also walking for another company for a while. I own two cats and two dogs of my own. I'm very sociable with animals and can take care of many different kinds. I've also worked with multiple different breeds of dogs and cats. Big dogs and small dogs alike. As well as different breeds of cats. I've also worked with lizards and bearded dragons, and guinea pigs. Any animal you may have, I can take care of for you, without any type of issue! I’m currently doing online school for the summer and there is no set times that I need to be on doing schoolwork. I’ll be free at any time! When a client books with me for the first time, I always make sure to meet the dog while the owners are there so the dog can see that I’m okay to be in their home.
“Jeannette went above and beyond with taking care of our fur babies. We feel very grateful having her as our pet sitter especially for our pets who needed extra love and attention.”
“Colleen was amazing! She is the definition of going above and beyond. Blu had an amazing time playing and site seeing. Colleen even cleaned Blu’s bowls out when she was done which was very appreciative. 10/10 sitter, we can’t wait to request her services again!”
“She came to do a meetup and the boys liked her. Communication and the whole process was smooth. Never had someone do a drop in visit in my home before since we moved out to Delaware. I would hire her again and recommend her to others!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover from Wilmington, Delaware, and after retiring from 34 years in education, I decided to follow my heart and spend more time with animals. I've had all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, even horses—so I know just how much they mean to us. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, kind, and caring looking after your pets (and your home) when you can’t be there. Whether it's a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or just some company while you're away, I'm here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved. I am retired after 34 years in education and have a flexible schedule that can meet your pets daily needs- morning, noon or night. Additionally, I have lived in the area my entire life so I am very familiar with the neighborhoods. I will visit your pets as requested. They will be walked responsibly and I will ensure they have fresh water and treats if allowed. If requested I will bring in the mail and any delivered packages.
About: I have had dogs of all sizes! I am a mother of two and I love animals. I have a Mini Poodle. Please no aggressive dogs! I am a dog/cat cuddler and I love to play! I don't mind getting down on all fours with them! I'm also a dance teacher, swim instructor, and hairstylist so this is a part time labor of love for me! I cannot wait to meet you and your furry friend! ?☺️ Very professional as well Ps: I live in the Claymont area but I dont mind driving. Looking forward to hearing from you and your furry friend. I have more than enough time given I am Freelance! I will treat your pet with the love and respect! I am a animal lover! I love pets like I love my own! I believe animals are precious gifts to the world just like children! Can't wait to meet your furry friend!

Cassandra is such an amazing sitter! She always does such a great job with my kitties while I’m out of town and they all love her so much. She sends the sweetest pictures and updates of my boys too and I always feel at ease knowing that she can visit while I’m away. <3
Margaret did a fantastic job checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week, making sure he got all the attention and playtime he needs. I loved receiving the detailed notes and pictures after each check-in! We will be reaching out to her again when we travel, for sure 😊
Marissa went above and beyond while taking care of our pets while we were out of town. It snowed A LOT and Marissa took the time to care for our home- she shoveled our front path and put down salt, and she was even so thoughtful that she put up the windshield wipers on our cars. We were dreading the conditions when we came home, but she was like a fairy godmother who made everything better!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Claymont on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,194 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Claymont. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Claymont. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
