“Emma was amazing. She was able to help me with very little notice. She was attentive & very communicative. I felt super comfortable leaving my fur baby with her and I will definitely book with her in the future.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 7. I have experience with dogs with allergies and seizure disorders. I also volunteer at an animal shelter. I have had cats for the last 13 years and care for a friend's cats when they are away. I have availability late afternoon and evenings on weekdays and am fairly flexible on the weekends. I have a dog and 2 cats of my own that are cared for daily. I would be able to drop in and feed cats or dogs as needed. I could also let dogs out into a fenced area or take on a leash if your yard is not fenced.
“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”
“I booked Haley at the last minute for drop in visits due to a last minute change in plans of mine. She did an amazing job. She is so professional and my dog loved her. I really appreciate her!”

“Kayla did an excellent job watching our kitties. She is very caring and even my shy cat came out to greet her! This is our second time using Kayla and we will definitely use her again.”
“We love Gwendolyn! She gives our girl love and attention every visit. She stayed longer than her scheduled time when Yuki felt sick to make sure she was okay. I will always choose her for our kitty sitting needs!”

About: I’ve been taken care of pets since I was 13. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and love on their pets. I also love to volunteer at animal shelters in my free time. I am currently a full time student, so I will have plenty of time before, in between and after classes to feed, walk, play, and love in your animals. I am also available in the evenings and weekends as well. I have a big secluded yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I also live in a safe neighborhood to walk pets in.
About: As a dog mom, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience with senior care, daily medications, anxious pups, and high-energy dogs who need extra playtime and attention. I treat every pet like family, and my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or consistent routines, I’ve got you covered. For boarding services, I kindly ask that pets be housebroken/house trained to ensure a clean and comfortable stay for everyone. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I can be up early for walks, playtime, and feedings. Having a very flexible work schedule, I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, snuggles, or check-ins. Whether it’s a weekend stay or midday walk, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a pet-friendly home with a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I share my home with a sweet, well-socialized dog who loves having furry friends around. I always follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible and provide constant supervision during playtime and feedings. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where your pet can relax and feel secure.
About: When I was 9 until about 15 I lived in an apartment complex and I would walk all of my neighbors dogs after school and feed them their dinners. I am CPR certified and first aid trained. At my last job we take care of seniors and puppies on a daily basis. I have a senior dog myself. I took care of my grandfathers diabetic dog for 5 years before he passed and gave him his insulin shot daily. I used to administer medication daily to dogs at work and continue to my own. My current job is Lead at Cincinnati Animal Care. I currently work at Cincinnati Animal Care 40 hours a week. However I’m able to work around whatever is needed! If booked in advance I am able to work from home as well! At my home I have a fenced in yard with four playmates who are always ready to have friends over! I also have two kids who love when I bring pets home! If I’m caring for your pet at your home I will follow your instructions and give your pet as much love and care as I can in our time together!
About: Since having my own pets (cats, dogs, fish) since I was younger, I learned to take care of them and love them unconditionally. I’ve also helped family, friends and neighbors with their pets when in need. I always get excited when an animal/pet is around. I love every animal as my own! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to play/check in on your pets. I’m available 3 days a week and on weekends. I also have an hour lunch break that I am willing to come by. Happy to come by in the early mornings and late evenings/nights as well. At this point in life, I can only come to your home to check in on your pet, take walks, play, etc! Hoping to be able to bring them to my home/overnight stays soon.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been told I have a “way with animals.” I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs before. Whether it’s a tiny tea cup dog or a large lab with more energy that they can contain, I’ve seen it all. I’m currently a senior in high school and play club volleyball. I have a part time job but am looking to gain more experience before college. Being a pet sitter and walking fits great for me since it’s a flexible schedule. I already take care of my own dog and cat at home and would love to add more pets to that list. As an athlete I am able to match your pets energy. I’m able to run around with them and throw their toys for as long as they may need it. I’m always down to explore new places on walks in any weather.
About: I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. I am a dog mom to a 4 year old golden retriever and she is my world. I would love to do anything that I can to help you and take care of your pet while you are away or just need an extra hand. I can go on walks with them, play with them, feed them, and keep them safe! I can also help bathe them and keep them groomed by brushing them. I am a photographer so I have relatively open availability. If you’re interested in hiring me, please let me know and we can talk about your pet and your expectations for me as a sitter. Looking forward to talking with you and meeting with your pets!! My dog is my entire world so I know exactly how anyone who trusts their pet with anyone else feels. There is so much love and support coming from my side of taking care of them. I talk to them like they are people and give them reassurance when it rains or when they miss you. For stop ins, it’s super easy for me to sit with them for up to an hour, giving them affection and company. For my own dog, we go on walks a lot and do tricks and puzzles to ensure brain exercise during the day. I do not have a fenced in yard yet, but we do walk with a leash around the town as well as use a beeping and vibrating collar to keep pets in our yard.
About: Hello! I have been a vet assistant for three years and worked at a dog daycare for three years. I have plenty of experience walking and taking care of the tiniest cats to the biggest dogs. I have experience with exotics as well. I absolutely love being around animals because they always brighten my day. I have had dogs my entire life, so I am comfortable around any dog. I would love to help take care of your animals! I’ll even add in bonus belly scratches and plenty of treats! I work full time as a vet assistant, but typically have a couple of days off throughout the week. I am hoping to take care of animals on the days I am available. Currently I am unable to host any dogs in my own household. I will only be available for walking and drop ins as of right now. I promise to always make the animals as comfortable as possible and have positive interactions. I am very respectful of client’s homes as well.
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of pets throughout my life…I’m aware that all animals are different and need special attention. I will give nothing but unconditional love to your pet! (-: Im currently working on my own interests, any time after 2pm on weekdays would be a great time for me to fulfill your pet care needs. Weekends are free too. I currently have a dog and a cat on five acres of land. My cat doesn’t go outside because of coyotes but my dog is very well behaved and will stay in our property line. Both are fed once a day and I tend to give them treats throughout the day. My dog is getting a bit older so he can’t make it on long walks like he used to but he still has his puppy energy every once in a while (:

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Dover on Rover is $15.54 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 913 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dover. 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.

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.
